-- FOR THE FIRST TIME, AN IMPORTANT POLISH POLITICIAN FROM THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT CAMP HAS SO UNEQUIVOCALLY EMPHASIZED THAT GERMANY WILL EVADE APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION - JERZY HASZCZYŃSKI IN RZ: “It was extraordinary how Donald Tusk, standing next to Friedrich Merz, spoke about the German approach to settling accounts for the crimes of the Third Reich. For the first time, an important Polish politician from the current government camp has so unequivocally emphasized that Germany is evading appropriate compensation, referring to agreements made when Poland could not make independent decisions.”

-- ACCORDING TO "WYBORCZA" INFORMATION, THE RESOLUTION OF THIS ISSUE IN BERLIN WAS TREATED AS A PRIORITY - BARTOSZ T. WIELIŃSKI IN GW: “Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany was immensely impressed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk's words that the last surviving victims of the Third Reich in Poland would soon be gone, and there would be no one left to support. According to "Wyborcza" information, resolving this issue in Berlin was treated as a priority.”

-- "AS SOON AS POSSIBLE" MEANS NO EARLIER THAN 2027… - WIELIŃSKI CONTINUES: “A source from the government in Berlin confirms that Germany intends to quickly prepare another proposal to compensate victims of the occupation as soon as possible. However, as he explains, 'as soon as possible' means no earlier than 2027. On Friday, the Bundestag will approve next year's budget, and the ruling coalition in Germany will have to sit down for negotiations first.”

-- IT IS GOOD THAT KAROL NAWROCKI DECIDED TO TAKE THIS STEP, ALTHOUGH HE IS STRONGLY CONFEDERATE AT HEART AND CRITICISM FROM THAT SIDE IS VERY PAINFUL FOR HIM - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “'Look,' he might say, 'even anti-Russian Poles have nothing against my policy. On Friday, I'm meeting with Putin, on Wednesday with Nawrocki, everything is fine.' No, it's not fine. And it's very good that President Nawrocki has understood the gravity of the situation he finds himself in. Flirting with anti-Ukrainian sentiments, which are unfortunately growing in Polish society, is one thing, but participating in an operation to normalize Vladimir Putin's actions is another. And it's good that Karol Nawrocki decided to take this step, although he is strongly Confederate at heart and criticism from that side is very painful for him.”

-- HAD THE PRESIDENT MET WITH THIS ORBAN, INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT HEALTHCARE, WE WOULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER DISTRACTION TOPIC HEAVILY DISCUSSED IN THE MEDIA - KAMILA BARANOWSKA IN INTERIA QUOTES A SOURCE FROM THE PALACE: “Another adds: – It was known how it would be spun domestically. Why should we give fuel to some theories and distract from who was actually conducting the reset policy with Putin's Russia during their rule. If the president had met with this Orban, instead of talking about healthcare, we would have had another distraction topic discussed in the media for weeks.”

-- BRAUN'S CROWN IS CURRENTLY THE MAIN THREAT TO PIS - PIOTR WÓJCIK IN KRYTYKA POLITYCZNA: “As it turns out, Braun's team consists more of former PiS members than former Mentzen supporters or nationalists. It is an arch-Catholic right-wing of the 'old guard' that prioritizes a strictly defined religion and ultra-traditionalism over a libertarian free market or nationalist ideology. At first glance, it's evident that in terms of views, Braun supporters are much closer to the right wing of PiS than to Konfederacja. This also applies to Korona's voters. They are the disappointed right wing of the PiS electorate.”

-- THE MASS PRESENCE OF THESE PEOPLE IN THE SEJM CAN PARALYZE THE COUNTRY - WÓJCIK CONTINUES: “The mass presence of these people in the Sejm can paralyze the country and drastically lower the level of public debate in Poland. Furthermore, Kaczyński has already shown that he can rise to the heights of cynicism and make a deal even with a hostile environment to seize power. So, does Wojciech 'Jaszczur' Olszański have a chance of becoming the new head of the Ministry of National Defence? If Macierewicz could be, why not him? President Kaczyński also doesn't trust Macierewicz, so he kept him on a leash through the services of Kamiński and Błaszczak. Macierewicz even had his Ludwiczek, the infamous Bartłomiej Misiewicz, who is not so different from Olszański's henchman.”

-- THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH WANTS TO CUT TREATMENT EXPENDITURE BY OVER PLN 10 BILLION. TRADE UNIONS: "WE ARE IN SHOCK" - JUDYTA WATOŁA IN GW: “In its '100 concrete actions for 100 days' plan, the Civic Coalition promised to abolish limits on hospital treatment. Not only has it failed to implement this, but it now wants to reintroduce them where they were abolished during the PiS government, namely for specialist consultations and computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.”

-- MANY HOSPITALS WILL GO BANKRUPT. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE MONEY FOR DECEMBER SALARIES NOW. SO EITHER THE PRIME MINISTER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SUCH AN IDEA CAN RESULT IN, OR HE DOES KNOW AND IS DELIBERATELY AIMING FOR IT – SAYS MARIUSZ TROJANOWSKI, HEAD OF THE DISTRICT HOSPITAL IN ALEKSANDRÓW KUJAWSKI - IN WATOŁA'S ARTICLE IN GW: “– Many hospitals will go bankrupt. We don't even have money for December salaries now. So either the prime minister doesn't know what such an idea can result in, or he does know and is deliberately aiming for it – says Mariusz Trojanowski, head of the District Hospital in Aleksandrów Kujawski and a member of the board of the National Association of District Hospital Employers (he was recently suspended from his KO membership for criticizing the actions of the former Minister of Health, Izabela Leszczyna).”

-- ANDRZEJ ELŻANOWSKI DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE AMBIGUITY OF THE CHAIN LAW AMENDMENT AWAITING SIGNATURE ON THE TYGODNIK POLITYKA PORTAL: “The entry into force of the amendment to the animal protection law may improve the lot of some, the worst-chained dogs, but it may also worsen the lot of others, especially those placed in dimly lit kennels. (...) A kennel isolates from the surroundings more than a chain, hindering even minimal social interactions (interspecies and intraspecies), as well as the control and assessment of the dog's condition by neighbors or other whistleblowers.”
