— ALTHOUGH I CONSIDER NAWROCKI'S PRESIDENCY TO BE DISASTROUS FROM THE START, I LARGELY AGREE WITH HIM ON THE ISSUE OF COMPENSATION – JACEK PAWLICKI IN NEWSWEEK: “Although I consider Nawrocki’s presidency to be disastrous from the start, and I deem his attempts to conduct an alternative foreign policy to be contrary to Poland’s interests, I largely agree with him on the issue of compensation. This matter has cast a long shadow over mutual relations for too long, so it is also in Germany’s interest to resolve it in the spirit of ‘justice and truth’.”

— WITHOUT COMPENSATION, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE TRUE “PARTNERSHIP” AND “CLEAR RELATIONS” WITH GERMANY – PAWLICKI CONTINUES: “What’s more, without compensation, it will be difficult to imagine true ‘partnership’ and ‘clear relations’ with Germany, regardless of who governs in Warsaw. Repeating that the issue of reparations is legally settled because Poland renounced reparations during the PRL era (as Chancellor Friedrich Merz recalled in May) demonstrates a lack of sensitivity on an issue that requires extraordinary tact and political empathy.”

— THE FIGHT FOR REPARATIONS THAT CANNOT BE OBTAINED IS A DANCE ON GRAVES – BARTOSZ T. WIELIŃSKI IN GW: “This feigned fight for reparations has a moral dimension. PiS politicians, by calculating war victims in trillions, have engaged in a disgraceful instrumentalization of history. Once again, they have used war victims for political campaigns. In short: the fight for reparations that cannot be obtained is a dance on graves.”

— WE CANNOT FORGET WORLD WAR II. BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING IT – ARTUR BARTKIEWICZ IN RZ: “Not all of Poland’s and Germany’s interests align, as is usually the case between neighbors. But we are united by an existential threat – the world we are building together in Europe with Germany and other EU member states is threatened by Russian imperialism. If the experience of World War II is to teach us anything, it is to avoid entering such a confrontation alone, even if moral righteousness is on our side.”

— TUSK AND HIS COALITION ARE RIDING A XENOPHOBIC WAVE, NOT KNOWING HOW TO MITIGATE IT, LET ALONE STOP IT – MAREK BEYLIN IN GW: “Indeed, I am outraged by the anti-Ukrainian and, in general, xenophobic populism of the coalition. All these games, like the ideas of 800 plus only for those who work or deporting young people for minor offenses during a Max Korzh concert in Warsaw, are politically unwise and morally indefensible. The fact is that Tusk and his coalition are riding a xenophobic wave, not knowing how to mitigate it, let alone stop it.”

— UKRAINOPHOBIA IS A GOOD TOOL TO UNSEAT THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT – BEYLIN CONTINUES IN GW: “Nawrocki knows that the stronger anti-Ukrainian sentiment in Poland becomes, the weaker the coalition’s political mandate will be. Ukrainophobia is a good tool to unseat the current government. And to provoke a crisis in the alliance between Poland, the European Union, and Ukraine. Because such a crisis will occur if Poles and Europe can be convinced that the coalition's rule is just a temporary trend, and that Poland's strong support for Ukraine is fleeting.”

— POPULIST RIGHT-WING PARTIES LEAD POLLS IN EUROPE’S BIGGEST ECONOMIES – WALL STREET JOURNAL EUROPE: “For the first time in history, populist and far-right parties are leading in polls in Great Britain, France, and Germany. This is the latest signal of growing voter dissatisfaction across much of the continent following years of high immigration and inflation. Far-right and anti-immigrant parties have already entered government in countries like Italy, Finland, and the Netherlands. However, this year, for the first time, they have simultaneously taken the lead in Europe’s largest economies. This could lead to a period of political turbulence in all three countries, even if national elections are unlikely to occur for several years.”

— MARINE LE PEN IS USING HER MOMENT TO SHAKE UP FRANCE – POLITICO EUROPE: “Undeterred by a ban from holding political office, the far-right leader intends to topple the government and push for new elections.”

— THE FAR-RIGHT IS GAINING POPULARITY IN SPAIN, WHILE MAJOR PARTIES ARE FIGHTING FIRES – POLITICO EUROPE: “Indeed, support for Vox was already growing before the fires. A July poll by the national polling agency CIS showed the party gaining 19% of the vote, narrowing the gap with the two leading parties, each at 27% (though other polling firms placed PSOE decidedly in second place). Support for the far-right party has particularly grown among agricultural workers, many of whom were directly affected by the fires.”

— WE HAVE ALREADY FULFILLED A NUMBER OF OUR ELECTION PROMISES – ANDRZEJ DOMAŃSKI IN CONVERSATION WITH ANDRZEJ STANKIEWICZ ON ONET: “We have already fulfilled a number of our election promises. Regarding the tax-free amount, Prime Minister Tusk announced that this project will not be in the budget in 2026. In 2027, with expenditures on security and growing investment costs—such as for CPK and the nuclear power plant—this project will be difficult.”

— POLAND'S DEBT IS RAPIDLY ACCELERATING AND THE RISK OF IT GETTING OUT OF CONTROL IS GROWING – ANNA CIEŚLAK-WRÓBLEWSKA IN RZ: “Poland’s debt is rapidly accelerating and the risk of it getting out of control is growing. – This cannot continue in the long run, economists alarm. If we do nothing, we will hit a wall.”

— POLISH INDUSTRY IN DECLINE. “SHARP DROP IN NEW ORDERS AND PRODUCTION” – MARIA MAZUREK IN GAZETA.PL: “Recessionary sentiments are not subsiding. The latest report for August states that the drop in new orders and production is again ‘sharp,’ although the pace in both cases is slower than in July. Exports and backlogs also decreased. Consequently, the number of jobs has also declined – S&P Global even reports that job reductions were faster, and the pace of their elimination was at its highest level since May.”
