-- I COULD NOT SAY "NO" - KAROL NAWROCKI A YEAR AGO IN AN INTERVIEW WITH JACEK NIZINKIEWICZ IN RZ: "I am a non-partisan president of the Institute of National Remembrance, feeling responsible for Poland, not just for the Institute of National Remembrance. I regularly repeat that if I were invited to represent the patriotic camp in the presidential elections, I could not say 'no'. This does not change the fact that I have been non-partisan for 41 years."

-- THE HELSINKI FOUNDATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS NEEDS DEFENSE AGAINST DEMOCRATS TODAY - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: "All this is probably out of love for the constitution, free media, and democracy. Prof. Piotrowski and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights stand where they stand. Where do declared democrats stand? By attacking a social organization, exactly where PiS once stood."

-- NAWROCKI IS THE ONE WHO SHOWS REAL INTEREST IN THE REGION MOST EXPOSED TO RUSSIAN INVASION - IN A TEXT BY MATEUSZ MAZZINI IN GW: "Sikorski was highly valued in the Baltic region - and still is, only now he is seen more as a poster idol. Outstanding, but distant, busy with his own affairs. And the one who shows real interest in the region most exposed to Russian invasion is Karol Nawrocki. - After the first few months, there is real optimism here - my interlocutor says. - Relations were good even during Duda's time, but the new president seems simply ready for greater involvement in international affairs. He calls his counterparts here, meets with them more willingly."

-- WE WERE WONDERING HOW TO DETONATE IT, ASKING WHY WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS OR THAT, HE WAS IMPERVIOUS - AGATA KONDZIŃSKA QUOTES A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COLLEAGUE ABOUT HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS CRISIS MEDIA REPORTS: "When journalists reported on further embarrassing events for the candidate: irregularities at the Institute of National Remembrance, free use of a museum apartment, a studio flat belonging to Mr. Jerzy from the Social Welfare Home, which Nawrocki became the owner of in a dubious way, staged events, associations with gangsters, Nawrocki was more concerned with meetings with voters and whether he would have a place to exercise in his free time. - We were wondering how to detonate it, asking why we don't know about this or that, he was impervious - my interlocutor says."

-- THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT ENTER THROUGH THE MAIN GATE, THERE HAVE BEEN TWO MEETINGS - KONDZIŃSKA FURTHER IN GW: "The president himself does not visit the PiS headquarters, although Duda often did. But paparazzi also have no photos of Jarosław Kaczyński visiting Nawrocki - because the 'Leader' does not enter through the main gate, there are no communiqués after the meetings, only brief statements. And there have already been two meetings. The first one was a long time ago, the PiS leader told journalists then that the atmosphere was excellent. - We even became 'on a first-name basis' despite the very large age difference - he revealed. The second was in the last month. And again, no official information, only obvious generalities in response to journalists' inquiries: that it was a standard conversation, that it was with the leader of the opposition, which has the largest club in the Sejm, that it concerned current affairs, but also foreign policy."

-- WITH HIM IT IS NOT LEARNED, IT IS HIM - COMMENTS A POLITICIAN FROM NAWROCKI'S CIRCLE - STILL IN KONDZIŃSKA'S TEXT: "Long live Poland" echoes from the opening of the Poznań Economic Congress, and then from over the grave of the Unknown Soldier. "Long live freedom, long live a free, independent Republic of Poland" - from a gala of friendly media. - With him, it is not learned, it is him - comments a politician from Nawrocki's circle."

-- YOUNG PEOPLE ARE NAWROCKI'S ELECTORAL BACKING - STILL KONDZIŃSKA IN GW: "Nawrocki is not the first to wink at the youth. They are his electoral backing, and he, raised 'in the neighborhood,' is as close to their world as he is to historical conferences."

-- HAVING SOMEONE LIKE MATYSIAK IS POLITICAL GOLD, WHICH TOGETHER THEY TURNED INTO TOMBAK - GALOPUJĄCY MAJOR IN POLITICAL CRITIQUE: "Matysiak has become the infrastructural face of Razem and has carved out a media position, especially in Kanał Zero, which holds sway over the minds of apolitical normies. Having someone like that is political gold, which Razem has turned into tombak. (...) Even Konfederacja is divided into nationalists and Korwinists. Factionalism is therefore an inherent feature of political parties, while the Razem party and its voters are beginning to care about internal ideological purity like party sanitary inspectors."

-- SHE WOULD DO MORE FOR THE WORKING CLASS THAN CZARZASTY'S PARTY HAS IN ITS ENTIRE LIFE - STILL GALOPUJĄCY MAJOR IN CRITIQUE: "And what about MP Matysiak herself? Her fate will be interesting, and whether the political winds will turn her into a PiS-style Barbara Nowacka. It would be a cruel twist of fate if, after PiS's latest social turn, she gained more power as a minister than she has power as an opposition member now. And thanks to the 'Bolshevik PiS handouts,' she would do more for the working class than Czarzasty's party has in its entire life."
