In total, as many as 47% of this party's voters want a Polexit, with as many as 29% answering 'definitely yes'. Only one in three PiS voters (33%) is a staunch opponent of leaving the Union.”

-- AFTER A REFORM MEANT TO REPAIR THE MISTAKES OF ITS PREDECESSORS, FOUR TIMES FEWER APPLICATIONS ARE SUBMITTED TO THE CLEAN AIR PROGRAM THAN BEFORE – SZYMON BUJALSKI IN OKO.PRESS: “After a reform intended to correct the mistakes of its predecessors, four times fewer applications are submitted to the Clean Air program than before. 'We cannot wait until 2060 for clean air,' say over a thousand municipalities in unison. They are appealing to the Prime Minister for action. However, it turns out that the fight against PiS pathologies has not freed the current government from them.”

-- CHASING DEADLINES AND PRICES. HOSPITALS ARE ABANDONING KPO INVESTMENTS – MIKOŁAJ WOŹNIAK IN GW: “- I'm not surprised by the news that some hospitals are giving up money from the KPO – comments a director of a district hospital in Wielkopolska, asking to remain anonymous. – The time given for the implementation of investments, and the time needed for them, were two different matters from the very beginning. Even those who received money were worried – he adds. Among hospital managers, there is talk of extending the deadlines for investment implementation, but as long as directors do not have official annexes to their contracts with the Ministry of Health, they must adhere to the original schedules. If they do not manage, they would have to return the entire co-financing.”

-- NAWROCKI'S SYMBOLIC VIOLENCE – PIOTR PACEWICZ IN OKO.PRESS: “Karol Nawrocki's decision to – as he called it – 'dismantle and remove' the historical piece of furniture that is the Round Table from the Presidential Palace, pains all those who feel they are patriots of the Third Polish Republic. The table with broken legs – a tongue twister, once a popular children's game – has taken on a grim meaning. The dismantling is an act of violence against the historical experience of the agreement signed on April 5, 1989, which opened the way to the elections of June 4 and the formation of the first non-communist government in our part of Europe. This triggered a cascade of decommunization in subsequent countries of the Soviet bloc.”
-- IT IS EVIDENT THAT HE IS TRYING TO HARM THE GOVERNMENT WHENEVER HE CAN, BUT WE WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO DECLARE THE END OF POST-COMMUNISM WHEN THIS REGIME FALLS – PACEWICZ FURTHER IN OKO: “It is evident that he is trying to harm the government whenever he can, but we will only be able to declare the end of post-communism when this regime falls. Unless the president's declaration is understood as a harbinger of that glorious day and an encouragement to see him as the providence of the right.”

-- THERE IS ONE CONDITION TO MAINTAIN THESE REFRESHED RELATIONS – PROGRESS MUST BE MADE IN THE VOLHYNIA EXHUMATIONS - BOGUSŁAW CHRABOTA IN RZ: “A lot depends on Zełenski here. He knew very well that Nawrocki, as a former head of the Institute of National Remembrance, is mainly concerned with the issue of exhumations. That is why representatives of the Institute of National Remembrance from Kyiv accompanied him. The relations between the two leaders will depend on actual progress in the exhumations, and Zełenski must monitor this with great attention.”

-- KONFEDERACJA CRUMBLED UNDER PRESSURE – MICHAŁ DANIELEWSKI ON TYGODNIK POLITYKA PORTAL: “To step out into the center as the default party opposing the PO-PiS duopoly – that was Konfederacja's effective strategy. But Mentzen and Bosak's formation has just returned to the far-right backyard, babbling about Polexit and a demonic Ukraine.”
-- KONFEDERACJA'S TURN IS A CHANCE FOR PIS AND PSL – DANIELEWSKI FURTHER: “By radicalizing its message again, the Konfederacja members are voluntarily degrading themselves to a lower league: instead of playing in the top league with KO and PiS as potential future kingmakers deciding on power in Poland, they are condemning themselves to fight for primacy within the so-called 'extinguisher front'. Thus, Mentzen and Bosak are also leaving the conservative center, which is once again in play for Law and Justice (provided it finally sorts out its internal mess the size of Mount Everest) and possibly for Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz's PSL, which has the strength of its structures, a likable leader, and with a bit of luck, is not doomed to remain permanently in the political mire below the election threshold.”
