-- POLAND 2050 MP KAMIL WNUK IN A DISCIPLINARY INTERVIEW WITH ONET ON HOW MPS WILL VOTE FOR WŁODZIMIERZ CZARZASTY'S CANDIDACY FOR MARSHAL OF THE SEJM: Kamil Wnuk: My answer to your question will be paradoxical, but please quote it in full. I will also ask a question. If in 2027, after the elections, there is a change of power and PiS takes over, will Onet continue to attack Poland 2050 and Marshal Hołownia? Thank you very much for the conversation.
-- MICHAŁ GRAMATYKA IN AN INTERVIEW WITH ONET: Will he vote for Czarzasty's candidacy for Marshal of the Sejm? My answer is a quote from Prime Minister Donald Tusk. It reads: "The decision will be made at the appropriate time".

-- SATURDAY'S POLITICAL AGENDA: PIS MANIFESTATION IN WARSAW WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF PRESIDENT KACZYŃSKI - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/pl/live
-- PIS LEADS CBOS POLL, CONFEDERATION IS THE THIRD WAY TODAY - ADMITS PROF. EWA MARCINIAK, HEAD OF CBOS IN A CONVERSATION WITH JOANNA ĆWIK ŚWIDERSKA IN THE RZ PODCAST: "This poll shows that today Prawo i Sprawiedliwość is at the top of this party ranking, which I personally link, interpreting it with such an expansive policy, and also media criticism towards Konfederacja, which is holding on very strongly on the Polish political scene and is de facto the third choice, this third way. But Prawo i Sprawiedliwość also communicates very loudly, often offensively to voters and politicians of Civic Platform, such content that is replicated on social media, as if it might seem that the media space is filled with such sharp criticism of the government. And this is, as it were, another premise for us to gradually start thinking about the approaching election campaign".
-- PROF. MARCINIAK ADMITS THAT BRAUN'S PARTY IS IN FOURTH PLACE AND IS OUTPACING THE LEFT: "And now this important fourth, fourth position. And this fourth position is Konfederacja Korony Polskiej, and generally for the political scene, fourth in this political arrangement. The fourth position in '27 will be particularly important because it will indicate who can build a coalition with whom, i.e., which of the large political parties, regardless of the result. Unless this result exceeds 40% support, then of course a coalition partner is not needed, but in such a bipolar arrangement, when de facto Platforma Obywatelska and Prawo i Sprawiedliwość still have comparable results in the polls, sometimes switching leadership positions, it is important for them with whom they are able to build a coalition for the future. Hence this fourth position after Konfederacja understood and analyzed as a whole. So there is the National Movement, and Nowa Nadzieja. So this fourth, I will repeat again, will be such a swing factor. PSL and Poland 2050 for now are not crossing the electoral threshold. The same is true for the Razem party".
-- THE LEFT HAS 6-7% SUPPORT, BEHIND BRAUN - ADMITS PROF. MARCINIAK: "In recent polls and considering the results of other research agencies, as well as CBOS, it is somewhere around 6-7 percentage points. Some pollsters even give the left 8 percent".

-- COMPARED TO THE SURVEY CONDUCTED BY CBOS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 2023 ELECTIONS, THE PERCENTAGE OF POLES BELIEVING THEY HAVE INFLUENCE ON THE COUNTRY'S AFFAIRS HAS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED (A DROP OF 20 PERCENTAGE POINTS, TO 34%).
-- COMPARED TO THE SURVEY CONDUCTED SHORTLY AFTER THE 2023 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS, THE SYNTHETIC MEASURE OF CIVIC SENSE IS ALSO AT A LOWER LEVEL - WRITES CBOS IN A COMMUNICATION: "Slightly less than one-third of respondents (31%) are currently convinced that they have influence on both their immediate surroundings and their own country (in 2023, 47% of respondents made such declarations). Nearly 4 out of 10 respondents express a lack of influence on public affairs, which, although a worse result than during the measurement conducted after the 2023 parliamentary elections, is better than during the survey on civic subjectivity from February 2022, when the percentage of people declaring a lack of influence on public affairs exceeded 50%"

-- A 20-POINT DROP IN THE PERCEPTION OF INFLUENCE ON POWER IN THE SURVEY DONALD TUSK BOASTED ABOUT IN HIS 2023 ADDRESS.
-- THIS IS WHAT TUSK SAID ABOUT THE 2023 SURVEY IN HIS ADDRESS: D. Tusk referred to the results in his address, quoting from the parliamentary rostrum a CBOS report: "The change in Poles' opinions is revolutionary, because until now, since we have been conducting this survey, i.e., since 1992, among Poles - to a greater or lesser extent - the conviction dominated that ordinary citizens have no real influence on national policy. After October 15, the majority of Poles not only regained, but for the first time believed that they have a real influence on the fate of their - our - Homeland. My dearest, let's not waste this," he appealed at the end of his speech.".
-- IT IS KNOWN THAT THE LAW WILL BE THROWN IN THE BIN AT THE PALACE AND WILL ONLY BE AN ALIBI FOR THE GOVERNMENT'S EXTRA-STATUTORY ACTIONS, BUT EVENTHOSE GOING OVER THE TOP - JACEK GĄDEK IN ONET: "Prime Minister Donald Tusk, as he boasted on his social media, assured that Waldemar Żurek would restore the rule of law. But certainly not with this draft law. The minister will be condemned to extra-statutory actions, raising doubts or even opposition from parts of the legal community. If he wants to do anything, it will be in the context of a 'fighting democracy'.

-- A T-SHIRT WITH THE INSCRIPTION "CONSTITUTION" WAS USED TO WIPE ONE'S MOUTH AT THE MINISTRY'S HEADQUARTERS - BARTOSZ PILITOWSKI, PRESIDENT OF THE COURT WATCH POLSKA FOUNDATION IN BUSINESS INSIDER - IN A CONVERSATION WITH KOLANTY OJCZYK: "I'll answer this way. On Thursday, a T-shirt with the inscription 'Constitution' at the ministry headquarters was used to wipe one's mouth at best. According to this draft, it is the legislator who is to decide which judicial appointments are invalid, which judges can remain in office, and which must leave or reapply for them. Such a situation has never happened in the history of Poland. Even in 1989, such a step was not taken, although there were real grounds for it then. Judges appointed by the Sejm of the Polish People's Republic at the request of the Council of State, upon taking office, swore to strengthen the order based on the political principles of the Polish People's Republic. Many of them took this so seriously that they broke the law even in force in the Polish People's Republic".

-- SOFT POWER IN PRACTICE; A SKETCH FROM A MEETING OF PROF. ANDRZEJ NOWAK WITH AFD MPS - OLGA DOLEŚNIAK-HARCZUK: "For years I had the feeling that Poland (with few exceptions, such as the activity of the Pilecki Institute in Berlin, or what I believe is often underestimated work of the Western Institute) 'cannot do soft power'. Professor Andrzej Nowak, without TikToks, without fireworks, showed that true soft power, as the name suggests, should be soft. Soft and effective".
