-- PRESIDENTIAL CHANCELLERY AND MINISTRY OF NATIONAL DEFENSE AGREE ON STERCZEWSKI.
-- MP F. STERCZEWSKI'S WORDS ABOUT THE DEATH OF THE LATE MATEUSZ SITKA ARE FALSE AND UNACCEPTABLE - WŁADYSŁAW KOSINIAK-KAMYSZ: “MP F. Sterczewski's words about the death of the late Mateusz Sitek are false and unacceptable. Sergeant Sitek died as a result of a brutal and deliberate attack, not due to procedural errors or a scuffle. Soldiers guarding the borders protect the Homeland, and the state stands by them, guaranteeing them legal security. I expect an apology and for MP Sterczewski to retract his words.”

-- SCANDALOUS STATEMENT BY STERCZEWSKI! UNACCEPTABLE AND FALSE. THE CAUSE OF THE DEATH OF LATE SERGEANT MATEUSZ SITKA WAS AN ATTACK PERPETRATED BY A FOREIGNER BROUGHT TO THE BELARUSIAN-POLISH BORDER BY BELARUSIAN SERVICES - BBN: “The claim that soldiers are carrying out tasks outside of procedures is a lie.”

-- PRZEGLĄD SPORTOWY ON SERIOUS GAPS IN THE SECURITY OF THE POLISH PRIME MINISTER AT THE MATCH IN VILNIUS: “In fact, media representatives could bring whatever they wanted into the stadium. There was no personal search. There was no identification either. Not to mention that the accreditations this time were not personalized, so they could have fallen into the hands of unwanted individuals. And these individuals could have carried out some act of sabotage. This was all the more surprising because journalists had VIPs almost within arm's reach. The distance between the tape separating the press and honor tribunes and the place where Tusk was sitting was a dozen or so meters. It really wouldn't have taken a complicated ambush worthy of the gang of thieves from 'Money Heist' to cause a tragedy. A farce. But not a funny one.”

-- 47% IN FAVOR OF CHANGING THE PRIME MINISTER, 32% AGAINST REPLACING TUSK - OPINIA24 FOR RMF FM: “47 percent of Poles are in favor of replacing Donald Tusk as Prime Minister, with 32% being strongly in favor. At the same time, 32% of respondents are against dismissing the current head of government (17% are strongly against), and 21% have no opinion on the matter. The high percentage of undecided individuals indicates that the debate around leadership in the Civic Coalition remains open – both for the actions of the ruling party and for the opposition, which will try to persuade this group to take a clearer stance on one side.”
-- THE GREATEST DESIRE TO CHANGE THE PRIME MINISTER IS SHOWN BY YOUNG PEOPLE: AS MUCH AS 59 PERCENT AGED 25-29 AND 56 PERCENT AGED 30-39 - OPINIA24 FOR RMF FURTHER: “the greatest desire to change the prime minister is shown by young people: as much as 59 percent aged 25-29 and 56 percent aged 30-39. In the same group, a significant portion declares 'definitely yes' (43% and 29% respectively). The oldest respondents (60+) look in the opposite direction, with 42% not wanting to change the prime minister. Similar differences are also visible in the breakdown by education – individuals with vocational education more often (53%) support the change, while among those with higher education, voices against (38%) dominate.”

-- MATEUSZ MORAWIECKI RECEIVED SIGNIFICANTLY THE MOST INDICATIONS IN THE IBRIS POLL FOR ONET WHO SHOULD LEAD THE GOVERNMENT IF A PIS-KONFEDERACJA COALITION WERE FORMED: “According to Poles, the favorite for the position of prime minister in such a situation would be the prime minister from 2017-2023, Mateusz Morawiecki. 27.5% of respondents indicated him. In second place was one of the leaders of Konfederacja, Krzysztof Bosak (14.5%), and completing the podium was Sławomir Mentzen, indicated by 11.6% of respondents.”

-- A FIRE IS DEVELOPING IN THE NATIONAL HEALTH FUND THAT NEEDS TO BE EXTINGUISHED IF THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT PATIENT PROTESTS - JUDYTA WATOŁA IN GW: “Changes to the act are in the future, however. For now, a fire is developing in the National Health Fund that needs to be extinguished if the government doesn't want patient protests from those removed from waiting lists. A few billion in subsidies won't put out this fire.”
-- THE MINISTER OF FINANCE PLANS TO ADD AT MOST A FEW BILLION TO THE EMPTY NFZ COFFERS, ALTHOUGH TENS OF BILLIONS ARE NEEDED - WATOŁA FURTHER: “Meanwhile, Finance Minister Andrzej Domański seems unaware of this. On the one hand, he assures that he will find additional money for the NFZ. On the other hand, he says he does not foresee an amendment to the budget law. This means he plans to add at most a few billion to the empty NFZ coffers, although tens of billions are needed.”
-- FINANCES FOR TREATMENT WILL COMPLETELY COLLAPSE - WATOŁA STILL IN GW: “Next year, the NFZ budget – despite the subsidies promised by Minister Domański – will lack not tens, but hundreds of billions. Finances for treatment will completely collapse. The problem is that the elections are much closer, and the changes will be unpopular.”

-- THIS YEAR ALREADY, EXPENDITURE ON SCIENCE AND HIGHER EDUCATION HAS REACHED THE LOWEST LEVEL IN THE 21ST CENTURY. IN 2026, IT WILL BE EVEN LOWER - ALICJA GARDULSKA IN GW: “Expenditure on science and higher education has reached the lowest level in the 21st century. In 2026, it will be even lower. And Prime Minister Donald Tusk is busy putting out fires, not implementing systemic change.”
-- IT WOULD BE HONESTER TO GIVE UP TALKING ABOUT BREAKTHROUGHS AND CIVILIZATIONAL LEAPS - GARDULSKA FURTHER IN GW: “It would be good if politicians applied what they so readily repeat themselves and started acting. To at least try to implement Tusk's words that 'the future of our world and values will depend on whether we can maintain Europe, including Poland, at the highest level in terms of creativity, innovation, science, and knowledge.' Otherwise, it will be more honest to give up talking about breakthroughs and civilizational leaps.”

-- BANKRUPTCY OF THE WELFARE STATE - WITOLD GADOMSKI IN GW: “As a result of generous social policies, state expenditures in France have risen to a record level of 57.1% of GDP (only Italians spend more), and public debt to 113% of GDP. Serious politicians and economists know that the situation is unsustainable, but the French do not accept this.”
