-- ALMOST HALF OF RESPONDENTS ASSESS THE ACTIONS OF MINISTER OF JUSTICE WALDEMAR ŻUREK NEGATIVELY - RZ ON AN IBRIS SURVEY: "The latest survey conducted by the IBRiS Market and Public Opinion Research Institute for 'Rzeczpospolita' shows that only 32.4% of Poles assess the reckoning of the PiS governments by Waldemar Żurek positively (of which 11.7% 'definitely well'). In contrast, 45.1% of respondents hold the opposite view, with as many as 33.6% responding 'definitely badly'. It is worth noting that as many as 22.5% of respondents have no opinion on the matter."

-- EVEN PART OF THE MOST LOYAL ELECTORATE OF THE CIVIC COALITION IS NOT SO MUCH UNSATISFIED AS PERHAPS NOT INTERESTED IN THE POLITICAL FOCUS BEING ON ACCOUNT SETTLING - RAFAŁ CHWEDORUK COMMENTING ON THE SURVEY FOR RZ: "- The results are surprisingly unsurprising, and that's why this survey is very telling. It shows that the currently ruling coalition has dug in its positions from 2023 - assesses political scientist, prof. of the University of Warsaw Rafał Chwedoruk. - However, what was enough during the 2019 elections, which was a plebiscite on the then-ruling PiS, is absolutely not enough now. Even part of the most loyal electorate of the Civic Coalition is not so much unsatisfied as perhaps not interested in the political focus being on account settling - interprets the expert."

-- FRUSTRATION OF SERVICES AFTER SABOTAGE ON THE RAILWAY. THE DRIVER OF THE TERRORISTS WAS RELEASED - JACEK HARŁUKOWICZ AND ANDRZEJ STANKIEWICZ IN ONEJCIE: "According to our information, the release of those detained has caused tension between ABW (Internal Security Agency) officers and prosecutors. - We are pissed off - says our contact from ABW, involved in the investigation. - Our people work day and night, conducting operational activities, as a result of which individuals clearly linked to the saboteurs are apprehended, and in the end, it turns out it was all for nothing. If the evidence collected by us is insufficient for the prosecutors, maybe they should catch spies themselves."

-- IT IS IN RUSSIA'S INTEREST TO TURN AWAY THE SYMPATHY OF THE FREE WORLD FROM US. BECAUSE WHO WILL WANT TO DIE FOR THE COUNTRY OF BRAUNS? - WOJCIECH CZUCHNOWSKI IN GW: "Because the moment Braun descends to Żwirowisko is crucial. Ukraine, abandoned by Trump, may soon succumb to Russia. Then Poland will be next on the list. Therefore, it is in Russia's interest to turn away the sympathy of the free world from us. Because who will want to die for the country of Brauns, Skaliks, and the rest of this gloomy gang?"

-- THE RUSSIAN INSPIRATION IS OBVIOUS HERE - CZUCHNOWSKI CONTINUES IN GW: "Over a quarter of a century has passed since the last conflict around Żwirowisko and the entire Museum. Today, as we face war, Braun and his circle are fanning anti-Ukrainian sentiments, sending a whimpering letter to Lavrov, and then reviving an old provocation. The Russian inspiration here is obvious. One can only hope that this time no one will fall for it."

-- PALESTINIANS THEMSELVES CALLED FRANKS STERCZEWSKI AND GRETA THUNBERG SELFIE ACTIVISTS - DOMINIKA TWOREK IN GW: "Dr Kamil Kijek, a sociologist and historian from the Department of Judaic Studies at the University of Wrocław, also voices a critical opinion: - When the Flotilla was intercepted, the media focused mainly on it, not on the fact that ceasefire negotiations were underway. One hundred civilians died that day, but the media broadcasted MP Sterczewski's selfie."

-- THE GOVERNMENT IS PURSUING A POLICY FOR A CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY. A MAJORITY THAT DOES NOT EXIST - MACIEJ GRZENKOWICZ IN OKO.PRESS: "Although the latter is obvious from a historical perspective, pro-European Poles live in a dissonance, hearing on the one hand stories about the 20th largest economy in the world and Poland's key role in the Union, and on the other hand hearing that the time for changing exceptionally archaic worldview laws has not yet come. Instead, the coalition offers another conservative version of Poland, unattractive to both right-wingers - as other parties will implement it more to their liking - and to centrists and left-wingers."
