-- A YEAR AGO, TUSK SAVED THE GOVERNMENT DURING THE FLOOD. In a poll a year ago, 45% gave the government a good rating for its flood response.

-- TUSK WAS SAID TO HAVE GIVEN "GREEN LIGHT TO KIERWIŃSKI" FOR AN "OPERATION" AGAINST THE MAYOR OF WARSAW - REVEALED BY ARLETA ZALEWSKA ON TVN24: “Before the vote in Warsaw on the nighttime alcohol sales restriction, a meeting of Civic Platform councilors took place with the participation of Rafał Trzaskowski and Marcin Kierwiński. According to her information, Prime Minister Donald Tusk was to give the 'green light to Kierwiński' for an 'operation' against the Mayor of Warsaw.”

-- WARSAW CIVIC PLATFORM COUNCILORS, UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF MARCIN KIERWIŃSKI, SPECTACULARLY BROKE THE MODERNIZATION CONTRACT WITH THE URBAN MIDDLE CLASS DESCRIBED ABOVE - MICHAŁ DANIELEWSKI ON TYGODNIK POLITYKA PORTAL: “Warsaw Civic Platform councilors, under the patronage of Marcin Kierwiński, spectacularly broke the modernization contract with the urban middle class, which is the most loyal electoral base of the Civic Platform, as described above. Of course, their support won't collapse because of this, nothing spectacular will happen in the short term, but the sad spectacle composed of absurd arguments, stubbornness, and fending off citizens like persistent flies will have its political significance.”

-- THE PLATFORM'S STANCE IS ALL THE MORE ABSURD BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND ANY SEED OF A POLITICAL PLAN IN IT - DANIELEWSKI AGAIN: “The Platform's stance is all the more absurd because it is difficult to find any seed of a political or narrative plan in it. Today, they will probably receive some applause from parts of the libertarian electorate of Confederation and radically free-market publicists, but tomorrow it is hard to expect them to receive their votes. Sławomir Mentzen will always be more credible here than Marcin Kierwiński.”

-- WARSAW CIVIC PLATFORM LIKE THE SARMACIANS FROM THE SERIES "1670" - DANIELEWSKI'S CONCLUSION: “Perhaps the answer to the question of what this is all about is the series '1670', whose second season is just premiering. Simply put, the nobility always knows better what the peasants need, and if the peasants want something else, then too bad for them. The Sarmatian faction has won in the Warsaw council.”

-- KACZYŃSKI HAS REJUVENATED, STRAIGHTENED UP, HAS LIFE ENERGY. AND TUSK? - JAROSŁAW KUISZ IN AN INTERVIEW WITH PIOTR GŁUCHOWSKI IN WEEKENDOWA GW: “Instead of copying the narrative of their predecessors, the current rulers should rather adopt their strategy and tactics. Master new technologies. Create these career paths, because for now, we see the same faces in the front rows as before 2015. And these are tired faces, unfortunately. Unlike Kaczyński – who, after Karol Nawrocki's victory, rejuvenated, straightened up, as if drawing life energy from him – Tusk does not know how or does not want to bring in new blood. His people are often weary. They govern according to someone else's agenda. Communication is limping. Recently, the Prime Minister held outdoor press conferences – I watched them. Random props, no flags, no show at all… An unprecedented lack of emotion. In the times of Donald Trump's re-election?!”

-- THEY ARE GOVERNING LIKE BEFORE 2015 - KUISZ CONTINUES WITH GŁUCHOWSKI: “They are governing like before 2015: the party is at the helm, and society is the material. Has the government told you anything significant recently? And Kaczyński still speaks to his people. Wisely or foolishly, but he speaks. Meanwhile, there is no ferment or real openness to citizens on our side. To get through to this government with any ideas to reverse negative trends… Zero chance.”

-- PIS WILL RETURN ON STEROIDS. THE ENERGY FROM 2023 WAS NOT WELL UTILIZED, UNFORTUNATELY - KUISZ AGAIN WITH GŁUCHOWSKI IN WEEKENDOWA GW: “PiS will return on steroids. The energy from 2023 was not well utilized, unfortunately. The presidential elections showed this. Civil society is deeply disappointed with the current coalition. The rule of law has not been restored. If PiS takes power, there will be a change of the system. On the one hand, we can expect a flood of discount chauvinism. On the other hand – reckoning. It might resemble 1926.”

-- FOR NOW, I PRIMARILY SEE "TOMORROW-ISM" AND POLITICAL HORSE-TRADING. THE COALITION IS HEADING TOWARDS HANDING OVER THE GOVERNMENT ON A SILVER PLATTER - Kuisz again.

-- ALL OF THIS IS EITHER LYING IDLE OR PROCEEDING AT A SNAIL'S PACE BECAUSE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS RESTORING THE RULE OF LAW - PIOTR SZYMANIAK IN RZ: “The bill on improving road safety is just one of many important changes that are crucial for citizens, entrepreneurs, the functioning of the judiciary, etc. The reform of civil procedure is stalled, as is the penal code, regulations on house arrest, changes in the commercial companies code, and electronic enforcement? Where is the SLAPP law? And abusive lawsuits? What about the reform of the prosecution? All of this is either lying idle or proceeding at a snail's pace because the most important thing is restoring the rule of law. (...) If the Ministry of Justice's work priorities are not more evenly distributed, then in two years we will have neither the rule of law (as the president will block everything anyway), nor the neglected changes important for ordinary citizens (for which there will be no time).”
