-- THE PRESIDENT MET THE CHALLENGE, HIS SPEECH WAS SUCCESSFUL AND WAS REWARDED WITH APPLAUSE BY SIKORSKI HIMSELF, SEATED IN THE POLISH DELEGATION'S BOX NEXT TO THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RP TO THE UN, KRZYSZTOF SZCZERSKI - TOMASZ ZALEWSKI ON THE TYGODNIK POLITYKA PORTAL: “Addressing the issue of Russian aggression in Ukraine, the President faced strong rhetorical competition on the Polish stage in the person of Radosław Sikorski. The Foreign Minister's excellent address at the UN Security Council session on the matter the previous day received enthusiastic reviews from thousands of internet users worldwide. The President met the challenge, his speech was successful and was rewarded with applause by Sikorski himself, seated in the Polish delegation's box next to the Representative of the RP to the UN, Krzysztof Szczerski”.

-- ZALEWSKI ON THE EVOLUTION OF TRUMP'S VIEWS - CONTINUED ON THE TYGODNIK POLITYKA PORTAL: “During the session, the President is conducting intensive diplomatic activity, meeting with leaders of many countries and UN Secretary-General António Guterres. If a meeting with Trump takes place, he will have another opportunity to persuade him to take a clearly pro-Ukrainian stance in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The moment is opportune: the US President made a surprising rhetorical U-turn on Tuesday – he said he supports shooting down Russian planes violating NATO airspace, and for the first time stated that Ukraine has a chance to win the war, and even regain all its territories. It is not yet known whether actions will follow words, but this allows us to hope that he will finally apply pressure on Russia and force it at least to a ceasefire”.

-- ACCORDING TO SOURCES, THE SIGNING OF THE AGREEMENT FOR THE ATOMIC POWER PLANT WITH THE AMERICANS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE SUMMER OF NEXT YEAR, AND THE SIGNATURE WILL BE AFFIXED NOT BY PRIME MINISTER DONALD TUSK, BUT BY PRIME MINISTER RADOSŁAW SIKORSKI - DOMINIKA DŁUGOSZ IN NEWSWEEK: “The process of concluding agreements on the construction of Polish nuclear power plants is spread over years. According to the current schedule, the pouring of the so-called first nuclear concrete for the first reactor is to take place in 2028. The start of commercial operation of the first block is planned for 2036. But first, one more, most important agreement needs to be signed. According to our sources, this will happen in the summer of next year, and the signature will be affixed not by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, but by Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski”.

-- THERE HAS BEEN TALK OF A CHANGE OF PRIME MINISTER FOR A LONG TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE A BENEFIT FOR CIVIC COALITION - CONTINUES DŁUGOSZ IN NEWSWEEK: “There has been talk of a change of Prime Minister for a long time. It seems to be a beneficial solution for Civic Coalition – Donald Tusk could fully dedicate himself to the campaign before the parliamentary elections, and the head of diplomacy would lead the government”.

-- THE INTEREST MAJOR PARTIES SEE IN FUELING POLARIZATION PUSHES THEM TO ACTIONS THREATENING SECURITY AND WEAKENING THE STATE - JACEK K. SOKOŁOWSKI IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: “The interest major parties see in fueling polarization pushes them to actions threatening security and weakening the state. But this does not mean that Russia is not striving to intensify these actions and is not building a network of partially virtual and partially real connections here, helping to push our wars in a direction favorable to itself”.

-- PERHAPS THESE WARS WOULD LOOK DIFFERENT IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE NECESSITY OF PiS COMPETING WITH KONFEDERACJA FOR THE YOUNG RIGHT-WING VOTER - CONTINUES SOKOŁOWSKI IN TYGODNIK: “Perhaps these wars would look different if it were not for the necessity of PiS competing with Konfederacja for the young right-wing voter, fascinated by the American alt-right. Who is pushed towards radicalism and conspiracy theories (strangely enough, Russia never appears in them) by various 'wild coaches'.”

-- IN 2021, MEDIA CALLED "LIBERAL" (MEANING, TRULY, SUPPORTING PO) PRESENTED GONZALES AS MASSIVE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS BY THE "INHUMAN PiS REGIME". MANY FALSE INFORMATION WAS PRODUCED THEN, E.G., THE BORDER GUARD WAS ACCUSED OF MURDERS AND ABUSES - CLAIMS SOKOŁOWSKI IN TYGODNIK: “And Pablo Gonzales, alias Paweł Rubcow? In Poland, he was a particularly active individual in the circles of journalists reporting on the migration crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border. A crisis that today is perceived by both sides of the political spectrum as an element of hybrid warfare, consisting of using people brought specifically for this purpose from the Middle East, whom Belarusian services used as 'living weapons' to destabilize the situation at the border. In 2021, media called "liberal" (meaning, truly, supporting PO) presented him as mass human rights violations by the 'inhuman PiS regime'. A lot of false information was produced then, e.g., the Border Guard was accused of murders and abuses that never happened.” 

-- THE PROBLEM OF SECURITY THREATS FROM THE MIGRATORY CRISIS AND THE BELARUSIAN SERVICES BEHIND IT WAS NOT EMPHASIZED – AT LEAST AS LONG AS PiS WAS IN POWER - WRITES SOKOŁOWSKI IN TP: “Another thing is that the 'Stróżyk commission' appointed by the Prime Minister was created as a tool for ad hoc crisis management after the scandal related to Szmydt's escape to Belarus. And that the appointment of General Jarosław Stróżyk as head of this commission was accepted with approval by his colleague, General Piotr Pytel. The same one who for years promoted the thesis that 'PiS, with the effect of mimicry, realizes Russia's goals'. The problem of security threats from the migratory crisis and the Belarusian services behind it was somehow not emphasized – at least as long as PiS was in power. I won't even mention Giertych and the wave of hysteria he created around the allegedly falsified presidential elections – which did not contribute to the destabilization of the state at all. Just as the fact that the political roots of this politician lie in the circles from which most supporters of Marcin Rola's views are recruited today.”
