-- MAZUREK ON SOLORZ: THE END OF THE LAST OLIGARCH, THIS IS HOW POST-COMMUNISM ENDS - SAID ROBERT MAZUREK ON KANAŁ ZERO: “And today, the end is happening. Like in the series Succession. Today, because right now, defeated by his children in a Liechtenstein court, Zygmunt Solorz is losing everything. This is how the last Polish oligarch ends his career. This is how post-communism ends in Poland. What's more, this just reminded me of President Nawrocki and his ministers, who decided that the end of post-communism in Poland means the Round Table furniture has been asked to leave, thrown out of the Presidential Palace, and will ultimately end up in the Museum of Polish History. Well, no, Mr. President, no, honorable ministers. The end of an era, the end of post-communism is not about moving furniture. The end of post-communism is happening today, because right now, today, the last Polish oligarch is losing power, losing enormous influence.”

-- THE VALUATION OF CYFROWY POLSAT AND ZE PAK COMPANIES ON THE WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE HAS SKYROCKETED - BUSINESS INSIDER: “After many months of uncertainty and declines, December 23rd brought a breakthrough regarding Cyfrowy Polsat and ZE PAK, which investors were clearly waiting for. The valuation of the companies on the Warsaw Stock Exchange has skyrocketed, although it must be noted that there is still a long way to go to reach this year's peaks from May and June. It is worth noting that the start of trading did not portend anything special, and Cyfrowy Polsat began the day with a small, but still negative, result. However, the situation changed rapidly shortly after 10:00 AM. The valuation of the shares surged at a double-digit rate and this result was maintained until the end of trading. Ultimately, Cyfrowy Polsat ended the day with a per-share valuation of PLN 12.29, which means an increase of 10.42%.”

-- I RISK HEATING, BUT IT IS THE ANTI-RELIGIOUS POLISH ELITES THAT HAVE FUELLED BRAUN'S POPULARITY - PROF MARCIN MATCZAK IN GAZETA WYBORCZA: “Therefore, risking the hatred of closed minds who constantly pose as open-minded, I write: pseudoreligious populists are growing because of what the anti-religious Polish elites are doing. Those who for years have mocked respect for tradition, for faith, for conservative values, and now they are surprised that someone has sold a brutal – and brown – imitation of them.”

-- BRAUN'S STRENGTH GROWS FROM A SENSE OF BEING LOST IN THE CHAOS OF NORMS AND VALUES, FROM THE EROSION OF TRADITIONAL AUTHORITIES AND SOCIAL RELATIONS - PROF. MATCZAK FURTHER IN GW: “Braun's strength grows from a sense of being lost in the chaos of norms and values, from the erosion of traditional authorities and social relations. Many people feel a spiritual emptiness and disorientation. That is why political charlatans are stepping in to fill the void of real bonds and role models.”

-- BRAUN IS SEEN AS A RESCUER PULLING PEOPLE OUT OF THE QUAGMIRE OF RELATIVISM - ACCORDING TO MATCZAK: “Especially young men see Braun as a father figure they lack. For them, he is by no means an embarrassment, but a rescuer pulling them out of the quagmire of relativism.”

-- BRAUN'S GROWING SUPPORT IS THE PRICE FOR THE WAR ON RELIGION. WE DUG A TRENCH THAT WAS MEANT TO SEPARATE POLAND FROM SUPERSTITION, AND FROM THIS TRENCH EMERGED A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS DEMON - CLAIMS PROF. MATCZAK IN GW: “Braun's growing support is the price for the war on religion. We dug a trench that was meant to separate Poland from superstition, and from this trench emerged a demon much more dangerous than the coarsely depicted 'catathaliban'. Because Braun is not an anomaly, but a reaction to the world created by progressive elites. One can hate the Church – often for valid reasons – but one must not ignore the fact that people need the sacred. And if they do not receive it in a mature form, they will reach for its caricature.”

-- THE REMOVAL OF THE CURRENT PARTIES FROM PARLIAMENT AND A MAJORITY FOR KONFEDERACJA AND OTHER NEW LISTS. WE WANT COMPLETELY NEW PEOPLE IN THE SEJM, THIS IS THE MAXIMUM PLAN - SAYS DEPUTY MARSHAL OF THE SEJM KRZYSZTOF BOSAK IN AN INTERVIEW WITH MARTA KURZYŃSKA FOR INTERIA: “My preferred and desired scenario is the removal of the current parties from parliament and a majority for Konfederacja and other new lists. We want completely new people in the Sejm, preferably from a few new political lists with a dominant share for Konfederacja. This is the maximum plan.”

-- THE NEED FOR A MUCH MORE RADICAL MESSAGE THAN WHAT IS ACCEPTED IN PUBLIC DEBATE OR IN THE MEDIA, BECAUSE GRZEGORZ BRAUN OPERATES MAINLY OUTSIDE THE MEDIA - BOSAK FURTHER STATES TO KURZYŃSKA IN INTERIA: “Most voters have a need for a much more radical message than what is accepted in public debate or in the media, because Grzegorz Braun operates mainly outside the media, not only mainstream media, but also right-wing media.”

-- BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY NO LONGER CLEAR WHAT PIS'S PROGRAM IS. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON MERIT, IT IS CONCENTRATING ON ITS INTERNAL DIVISIONS - BOSAK FURTHER: “Because it's actually no longer clear what PiS's program is. Instead of focusing on merit, it is concentrating on its internal divisions. Voters, in my opinion, have shifted much further to the right than the offer provided by the so-called center-right. Across Europe, center-right parties are losing their support to alternative right-wing parties. What may be interesting in Poland is the fact that currently we have two such parties, not one. And I think that the difference in political style, presented on the one hand by Grzegorz Braun, and on the other by Konfederacja, clearly translates into different voter bases. Some like a more subdued and professional message, others prefer a more confrontational and controversial message and stance.”

-- SOME WILL LIKE IT, OTHERS LESS SO. If I liked it, I would join Grzegorz Braun's party. I am convinced of the quality and style of our political work - BOSAK STILL IN INTERIA WITH KURZYŃSKA: “We are going our separate ways at the moment. We are developing and training cadres. We are building our expert base in order to be ready to implement our program. One can also observe how Grzegorz Braun's party operates in specific electoral districts, in the Sejm or the European Parliament, and draw conclusions from it. Some will like it, others less so. If I liked it, I would join Grzegorz Braun's party. I am convinced of the quality and style of our political work. And when we were together, I saw this difference on a daily basis.”

-- WILL TWO KONFEDERACJES BE ABLE TO GOVERN ALONE? - JACEK NIZINKIEWICZ IN RZECZPOSPOLITA: “A weakened and divided PiS strengthens Konfederacja Korony Polskiej. Grzegorz Braun has become one of the most popular politicians in Poland, unaffected by accusations and controversies. Will the far-right replace PiS?”

-- CHWEDORUK RULES OUT THAT BOTH KONFEDERACJES HAVE GROWN STRONG ENOUGH TO GOVERN TOGETHER - IN NIZINKIEWICZ'S ARTICLE: “– PiS's potential is limited due to generational and demographic reasons. The thesis that the right will cannibalize itself is accurate. They will fight for the same voter. As long as Jarosław Kaczyński is an active politician and has a strong party apparatus behind him, he will remain number one on the right. However, PiS has serious competition on the right, which it did not have before. The right flank is occupied, and PiS must radicalize itself to regain Braun's voters. The bidding on the right cannot be endless – concludes prof. Chwedoruk, who rules out that both Konfederacjes have grown strong enough to govern together.”

-- THE KONFEDERACJES WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL WITH THE END OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE - BELIEVES PROF. RAFAŁ CHWEDORUK, CITED BY NIZINKIEWICZ: “If the problem raised by extreme groups is resolved, then interest in them wanes, and their voters disperse. In the case of Braun's party, this will be the end of the war in Ukraine – says prof. Rafał Chwedoruk, a political scientist from the University of Warsaw, in an interview with 'Rzeczpospolita'. The expert notes that the fuel for Braun's party could be Ukraine's attempt to join the EU, which Russia does not oppose.”
