-- WHISPERING POLAND AS MORAWIECKI'S SWEAT VOICE-OVER: I DESERVE A GOVERNMENT THAT RESPECTS ME, NOT RUINS ME - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/pl/live/2025-10-15/

-- TRZASKOWSKI'S CAMPAIGN WAS DONE SHODDILY. NAWROCKI'S CAMPAIGN PROFESSIONALLY. AMEN - ALEKSANDER KWAŚNIEWSKI TO AGNIESZKA KUBLIK IN GW: “The presidential elections most clearly showed how far communicationally KO is from PiS. Trzaskowski's campaign was done shoddily. Nawrocki's campaign professionally. Amen. Let them finally draw conclusions from this. Trzaskowski's explanation that he lost because he is too eloquent…”

-- WE ARE REINFORCING HISTORICAL CLAIMS AND RESENTMENTS. AND THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PARTIES COMPOSING IT FEAR THIS WAVE AND ARE REACTING TIMIDLY - SAYS KWAŚNIEWSKI IN AN INTERVIEW WITH KUBLIK: “All of this would be understandable and manageable, but the politics of cynicism has entered. Konfederacja first, followed by PiS, and then others decided that these sentiments could be converted into votes, support, and they will continue to do so. It will probably give them something, but the consequences will be dire, and the costs will be high. We are squandering the great capital of solidarity that we showed in 2022, and instead, we are reinforcing historical claims and resentments. And the government and the parties composing it fear this wave and are reacting timidly”.

-- IN THE SECOND YEAR OF VICTORY, TO PROPOSE A DISCUSSION AS THE LEADING TOPIC, WHETHER HOŁOWNIA WILL STEP DOWN OR NOT AND WHETHER MS. PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ WILL BE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OR NOT, IS SIMPLY PATHETIC - KWAŚNIEWSKI STILL WITH KUBLIK IN GW: “If the democratic side wants to propose to the public opinion – to all those diverse people who mobilized on October 15, 2023, and removed PiS from power – as the leading topic of discussion whether Hołownia will step down or not and whether Ms. Pełczyńska-Nałęcz will be Deputy Prime Minister or not, it is simply pathetic”.

-- THE RULING COALITION HAS LOST 2,551,800 PEOPLE IN ABSOLUTE NUMBERS - ARTUR BARTKIEWICZ IN RZ ON THE POLLSTER SURVEY FOR SE: “Two years later, in a Pollster Institute survey, voters of the ruling coalition were asked if they would still vote for the parties that form Donald Tusk's government. 65 percent of Poles answered 'yes'. 22 percent of its 2023 electorate would not vote for the parties of the ruling coalition now, and 13 percent of the ruling coalition's voters do not know if they would vote for it. This means that – in absolute numbers – the ruling coalition could today be sure of the votes of 7,539,409 voters. That is less than PiS obtained in 2023. 22 percent of lost voters' votes, in absolute numbers, is 2,551,800 people”. https://www.rp.pl/polityka/art43180361-sondaz-koalicja-rzadzaca-zgubila-2-5-mln-wyborcow

-- ACCORDING TO OUR CALCULATIONS, IF ELECTIONS WERE HELD NEXT SUNDAY, DONALD TUSK'S GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE ONLY A 13% CHANCE OF RETAINING POWER - MICHAŁ ROGALSKI IN ONET: “At the end of last year, the coalition went underwater – the chances of a majority fell below 50% for the first time. The presidential campaign period saw a further deterioration of ratings. A significant drop occurred in February when Trzecia Droga began to hover around the 8% threshold for coalition committees. In July, after post-presidential election poll calibrations and the final parting of PSL and Polska 2050, this resulted in a record low measurement – only a 7% chance of a majority”.

-- AT THE CURRENT LEVEL OF SUPPORT, THE RULING COALITION IS UNABLE TO DEFEND A MAJORITY IN ALMOST ANY CONFIGURATION - ROGALSKI FURTHER IN ONET: “At the current level of support, the ruling coalition is unable to defend a majority in parliament in almost any configuration. Assuming this political marriage endures further attempts, the coalition partners still have two years to bounce back from the bottom. The fight for the lost liberal voters, who were disappointed by the first half of the term, will be particularly important. However, this will be an extremely difficult task.”https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/prawica-w-natarciu-koalicja-rzadzaca-na-dnie-nikle-szanse-na-utrzymanie-wladzy/22tpmkq

-- THE 2023 ELECTIONS WERE MEANT TO SAVE LIBERAL DEMOCRACY, YET TODAY THE RIGHT HOLDS THE REINS. DONALD TUSK IS LOSING HIS ABILITY TO INSPIRE HOPE, AND DONALD TRUMP IS SETTING THE RHYTHM FOR THE WORLD - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “Today, PiS still offers many an attractive vision of government, it has a clear hope of joining Donald Trump's MAGA camp. And what hopes does Donald Tusk inspire today? Where has the enthusiasm from two years ago gone? If Tusk fails to return to the roots of that enthusiasm and does not find the sources of his hope, in two years Poland will again fall into the anti-liberal current.

-- RIGHT-WING POLITICS REIGNS SUPREME - SZUŁDRZYŃSKI FURTHER: “It is an unusual paradox that only after PiS was forced to relinquish power has the right-wing built its hegemony online. The most popular news television today is Republika, and the most popular television on YouTube is Kanał Zero. Right-wing politics reigns supreme in most expert channels and podcasts.”https://www.rp.pl/komentarze/art43175761-michal-szuldrzynski-dwa-lata-od-wyborow-z-15-pazdziernika-koniec-zludzen-liberalow-i-efekt-trumpa

-- ŻUREK TAKES US BACK IN TIME, CROSSES MORE RED LINES. HE DOES NOT ADHERE TO LAWS - BARTOSZ PILITOWSKI, HEAD OF THE COURT WATCH POLAND FOUNDATION MONITORING POLISH COURTS, IN AN INTERVIEW WITH GRZEGORZ SROCZYŃSKI IN GAZETA.PL: “Żurek takes us back in time. He wants a return to the old days before Ziobro, when things were good. And in these efforts – to make things as they were – he crosses more red lines. He does not adhere to laws. He says: in my opinion, this or that provision is not in force. In this way, the executive branch – politicians, the government – takes enormous power over us, which it has never had before.”

-- WHEN HE BECAME THE EXECUTIVE POWER, HE DID THE OPPOSITE: HE TOOK OVER THE COMPETENCIES OF THE COURT - PILITOWSKI FURTHER WITH SROCZYŃSKI IN GAZETA.PL: “According to the logic of the justification presented by Waldemar Żurek, any minister, any official can do this. He himself set an example. Moreover, we are talking about someone who functioned in public discourse as a defender of the rule of law, a defender of the principles of the rule of law, that the executive power must limit itself and cannot usurp the powers of the judiciary. When he became the executive power, he did the opposite: he took over the competencies of the court. And he also says: let other bodies also apply decentralized control. He encourages it.”

-- ZIOBRO DESTROYED, CRUSHED, BUT HE DID IT THROUGH LAWS. HE WAS A FORMALIST. ŻUREK'S INNOVATION FROM A CITIZEN'S PERSPECTIVE IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN ZIOBRO'S INNOVATIONS - PILITOWSKI FURTHER WITH SROCZYŃSKI: “Ziobro destroyed, crushed, but he did it through laws. He was a formalist. The method of operation of the previous team was that they concentrated power in their hands and maximized benefits: we have a majority in the Sejm, we have a president, so we push through crooked laws, but all the time respecting the provisions of the Constitution that state organs act on the basis of law. Żurek's innovation from a citizen's point of view is more dangerous than Ziobro's innovations.”

-- THEIR RADICAL IDEAS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REJECTED BY THE VENICE COMMISSION - PILITOWSKI FURTHER IN GAZETA.PL: “This is almost the same law that was drafted two years ago by the most fanatical part of the judicial community gathered around judge Krystian Markiewicz from the Iustitia association. Their radical ideas have already been rejected by the Venice Commission. Also, Dr. Marcin Szwed – a specialist in constitutional law from the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights – presented legal reservations to this law in a rather systematic way.”

-- ŻUREK SPOKE OF THE "CONTAMINATION OF COURTS BY NEO-JUDGES," AS IF THESE PEOPLE WERE SOME KIND OF VERMIN - PILITOWSKI FURTHER WITH SROCZYŃSKI: “The law proposed by Żurek violates Article 180 of the Constitution – the principle of irremovability of judges – and the recommendations of the Venice Commission. Moreover, out of pure revenge, they give some disgusting justifications publicly. Żurek spoke of the 'contamination of courts by neo-judges,' as if these people were some kind of vermin. Unbelievable things, and yet this concerns almost a quarter of all nine thousand Polish judges.”https://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/polityka/7,198012,32324722,on-lamie-prawo-lepiej-niz-ziobro-czy-bac-sie-zurka-wywiady.html
