-- GROWING SENSE THAT PIS HAS FOUND ITSELF ON THE DEFENSIVE AND HAS NO IDEA HOW TO GET OUT OF IT - KAMILA BARANOWSKA IN INTERIA: “The euphoria associated with Karol Nawrocki's victory has long since faded in PiS. The issue of the land plot for CPK, and now the request for an arrest warrant for Zbigniew Ziobro, only amplify the sense that the party has found itself on the defensive and has no idea how to get out of it. – Tusk is playing us like children again – admit politicians from Jarosław Kaczyński's formation.”

-- PIS IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING A SPECTACULAR SETBACK - JERZY BACZYŃSKI IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “There is a not-very-scientific theory of 'waves' in politics – difficult-to-measure changes in social moods, collective psychology, trends that lift some politicians and their formations, and drown others. It's probably too early to say that the right-wing wave is turning, but as we can see, PiS itself is currently experiencing a spectacular setback.”

-- PIS IS NOW BEING HIT FROM TWO SIDES - CONTINUES JERZY BACZYŃSKI IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “Ideological division: young conservatives are – in contrast to PiS – generally anti-social, irreligious, libertine in their morals, and above all 'anti-system'. After the elections, this division between the old and the new right is only hardening. And PiS has just reminded us of itself as a 'boomer' party (a festival of party nomenclature in Katowice), but above all, as extremely, pathologically systemic. (...) Kaczyński's party is being attacked equally from both sides for the first time: from the right and from the center.”

-- THE DEPRESSION HAS PROBABLY PASSED, THE GAME IS BACK ON. WILL THERE BE AN ATOMIC EXCHANGE OF BLOWS? - MARIUSZ JANICKI IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “However, a change is visible. And although it's unknown how it will ultimately end, the depression has probably passed, and the political game has resumed after a several-month break.”

-- KACZYŃSKI'S PARTY HAS FALLEN INTO A STRANGE, UNEXPECTED CRISIS, WHICH ONCE AGAIN SHOWS HOW VOLATILE POLITICAL MOODS ARE AND HOW EASY IT IS TO GET OUT OF BREATH FOR NO APPARENT REASON - CONTINUES THE FIRST DEPUTY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “Kaczyński's party has fallen into a strange, unexpected crisis, which once again shows how volatile political moods are and how easy it is to get out of breath for no apparent reason, as the main opposition party's decline began even before the CPK land plot scandal. For the first time since the presidential elections, the admiration for PiS and President Nawrocki has quieted down a bit. It has come to the point where pro-PiS commentators are starting to scare people by saying that if someone doesn't like PiS, then Grzegorz Braun is the only option left. Even some of the most staunch right-wing commentators on X have wavered, complaining about Kaczyński and the entire old PiS crew, criticizing the lack of new ideas, the return to costly handouts, the loss of initiative on social media, and the general inertia. PiS gained neither from Nawrocki's victory nor from the recent convention in Katowice.”

-- PERHAPS IN POLITICS THERE ARE NO MORE GRAND FINALES, ONLY THE GAME ITSELF MATTERS, PARTIAL RESULTS ARE IMPORTANT, PERSISTENCE IN SMALL STEPS - MARIUSZ JANICKI AGAIN: “It seems that Polish (and not only Polish) politics is condemned to half-measures, a syndrome of incompletion. During PiS's time, it was said that Kaczyński needed a third term to fully consolidate his power. He didn't get it. Then Trzaskowski's victory was supposed to give full meaning to the October breakthrough of 2023. This did not happen. Perhaps in politics, there are no more grand finales, only the game itself matters, partial results are important, persistence in small steps.”

-- SIGNS OF CHAOS AND DECAY ARE RECOGNIZED FROM A GREAT DISTANCE, WHICH IS DEMOBILIZING. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PiS HAS RECENTLY BEEN STRUGGLING WITH SUCH A PROBLEM – TEMPORARY STAGNATION AND LACK OF NEW MESSAGES – WRITES MARIUSZ JANICKI: “This is some kind of plan, which, however, requires two circumstances. First, Tusk's government should be a class better than before, and second – it must symbolically and emotionally engage voters who will feel that there is some new concept, that the leader is in control of everything, is still cunning and 'clever'. Without this, there is no politics today. And voters feel this with some sixth sense. They recognize signs of chaos and decay from a great distance, which is demobilizing. It is possible that PiS has recently been struggling with such a problem – temporary stagnation and a lack of new messages – which has been reflected in the polls.”

-- THE FEEBLE CREATION OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS MAY BE A HARBINGER OF ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR THE RULING COALITION. AND OF ITS OWN DOING - MARCIN PIASECKI IN RZ: “However, it seems that little will come of it. At least at this pace and effectiveness of implementing the special act and national programs. And the opposition is just waiting to hold the coalition accountable for further areas of incompetence. Thus, what was supposed to be the government's priority may easily become yet another burden.”

-- BIG COMMOTION IN EDUCATION. WILL DONALD TUSK'S GOVERNMENT LOSE TEACHERS' SUPPORT? - JOANNA ĆWIEK-ŚWIDECKA IN RZ: “Recently, Donald Tusk's relations with teachers have not been going well. Because just as one fire is extinguished, another erupts. This time, homework is burning.”

-- WOJCIECH BALCZUN ON THE QUESTION FROM CEZARY SZYMANEK AND PIOTR SKWIROWSKI IN RZ ABOUT CHANGES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ORLEN: “100 days ago, in an interview for 'Rzeczpospolita', I said that no one who is a hired manager is welded to their seat. I maintain that view. Personnel changes are a continuous process in which we are all subject to evaluation. Every morning when I come to the Ministry, I say that this is another day, but how many there will be depends on the evaluation of my work by the Prime Minister, who has the right to make any decision at any time, and I have no right to argue with it.”

-- HEAD OF MAPS ON ACCOUNTABILITY: “I would like to have people in these positions who will be more focused on supervising the areas entrusted to them, especially those related to accountability. Proof that we are accelerating in this area and not backing down was the resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to hold former Orlen CEO Daniel Obajtek and Michał Roga accountable.”
