-- I DON'T KNOW IF "GAZETA WYBORCZA" CONTRIBUTED TO INCREASING POLAND'S SECURITY WITH ITS TEXT ABOUT CENCKIEWICZ. I BET IT REDUCED THE SENSE OF SECURITY OF MANY PEOPLE - PRZEMYSŁAW WILCZYŃSKI IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY. 

-- I DON'T KNOW IF CZUCHNOWSKI AND "GW" INCREASED STATE SECURITY WITH THEIR TEXT. I BET THEY REDUCED THE SENSE OF SECURITY OF MANY PEOPLE - WILCZYŃSKI FURTHER IN TYGODNIK: "Contemporary psychiatry emphasizes, moreover, that participation – during treatment, including pharmacological treatment – in life, including professional life, is not only a common situation but simply part of the recovery process. But the subliminal message of 'Jedynka' from 'GW' is quite the opposite: if you've taken an antidepressant, you can harm Poland, and if Poland, then probably your own company, school, or office too. I don't know if Czuchnowski and 'GW' increased state security with their text. I bet they reduced the sense of security of many people."

-- DESPITE RESERVATIONS [ABOUT CENCKIEWICZ], I BELIEVE "GAZETA WYBORCZA" CROSSED ANOTHER LINE OF INTERFERENCE IN A PERSON'S INTIMATE AFFAIRS, IN THE NAME OF POLITICAL STRUGGLE - WILCZYŃSKI STILL IN TYGODNIK: "Despite these reservations, I believe that 'Gazeta Wyborcza' has crossed another line of interference in a person's intimate affairs, in the name of political struggle, moreover adorned with the guise of concern for 'state security.' Was it necessary to ask, 'what was Cenckiewicz taking?' Was it necessary to quote drug leaflets, for example, in those parts that say overdose carries a risk of death (anyone who has read at least one leaflet knows that one can die even after taking ten paracetamol tablets)?"

-- NOW EVERYONE WILL THINK TWICE WHETHER TO DECIDE AT ALL TO ACCESS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, SINCE THE SERVICES ARE LEAKING LIKE A FAULTY FAUCET – SAYS A POLITICIAN WHO A FEW YEARS AGO DECLINED TO FILL OUT A SECURITY QUESTIONNAIRE - IN AN ARTICLE BY KATARZYNA KACZOROWSKA ON THE TYGODNIK POLITYKA PORTAL: "– The questionnaire requires all information because the services need to know if someone has a risk area that could become the basis for, for example, recruitment based on blackmail. A person must confess everything: whether they drank, took psychotropic drugs, narcotics, or have – let's euphemistically call it – an unregulated personal life. Only now everyone will think twice whether to decide at all to access classified information, since the services are leaking like a faulty faucet – says a politician who a few years ago decided not to fill out the security questionnaire due to a lack of trust in its integrity."

-- ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS BANAL, THE SERVICES HAVE BEEN SHAPING THE POLISH POLITICAL SCENE SINCE 1988, EVER SINCE PREPARATIONS FOR MAGDALENKA BEGAN. THEY ARE NOT CONTROLLED - FURTHERMORE, A POLITICIAN QUOTED BY KATARZYNA KACZOROWSKA: "And he adds: – As banal as it sounds, the services have been shaping the Polish political scene since 1988, ever since preparations for Magdalenka began. They are not controlled, or more precisely, there are camps that fight each other and share various information to destroy their opponent. Politically, it might work, though in the short term. From the state's perspective, it's pure destruction. And I will remind you, the heads of services, both right-wing and liberal ones, also have their secrets and wouldn't necessarily want all of Poland to know them."

-- THE RULING CAMP WANTS TO PROPOSE POSITIONS IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL TO INDIVIDUALS WITH RECOGNIZED STANDING IN THE LEGAL COMMUNITY AND THOSE FAR FROM POLITICS. WILL NAWROCKI REFUSE TO SIGN THIS TIME? - MAREK KĘSKRAWIEC IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: "Now it might turn out that Nawrocki is blocking nominations under the guise of allegedly questioning the constitutional order, as he has already done, so the coalition must be careful when selecting candidates. Another matter is that if Nawrocki does not want to sign, no one will force him to."

-- THE SIGHT OF A TIRED KACZYŃSKI SITTING WITH HIS HEAD BOWED AGAINST A BOARD BEHIND HIM WITH THIS CONTENT WILL PROBABLY BE THE BEST SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW - JAKUB MAJMUREK IN NEWSWEEK: "The interview did not help not only the PiS leader and the party but also the new channel. Kaczyński, whatever one may say about him, can be an interesting interlocutor, and although the new channel had access to him for almost two hours, it completely failed to utilize it. Instead, it used this time for self-promotion – President Kaczyński appeared against the backdrop of two boards saying 'space for your advertisement.' And the sight of a tired Kaczyński sitting with his head bowed against a board behind him with this content will probably be the best summary of the interview."

-- THE CUTTING OF PUBLIC SERVICES IS PUSHING RESIDENTS OF SMALLER TOWNS DIRECTLY INTO THE ARMS OF ANTI-SYSTEM PARTIES - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: "The shape of the political scene in 2027 may be decided by the division of Poland into center and periphery. Generational differences are no less important. – The presence of Konfederacja and Sławomir Mentzen in smaller towns has brought them popularity because it had the value of appreciating local communities, whose problem is often a deficit of recognition – adds the expert."

-- SUCCESS ON THE CONSTRUCTION SITE IN BARANOWO AND HIGH-SPEED RAIL LINES COULD BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THREADS OF THE CAMPAIGN BEFORE THE 2027 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS - MARCEL WANDAS IN OKO.PRESS: "Success on the construction site in Baranowo and high-speed rail lines could be one of the most important threads of the campaign before the 2027 parliamentary elections. It's not hard to imagine Donald Tusk appealing to voters in a dozen or so months to allow him to complete Port Polska – his Poland Port. The airport opening is planned for 2032."

-- THE MINISTER OF FINANCE HAS ORDERED ALL THE MOST IMPORTANT CENTRAL INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING MINISTRIES, TO FIND AREAS FOR SAVINGS AND TO MAKE DECISIONS TO BLOCK EXPENDITURES - ESTABLISHED BY GRZEGORZ OSIECKI AND TOMASZ ŻÓŁCIAK IN MONEY.PL: "In practice, such a demand from the Minister of Finance means that expenditures must be suspended until the end of the year, for example, in the case of tenders that have not yet been awarded, appeals before the National Appeal Chamber, or those counted as own contribution for EU projects. One of the ministries, which confirms receiving the letter from the Ministry of Finance, not only blocked this year's expenditures by tens of millions of zlotys but also requested a reduction in its financial plan."
