-- IRREGULARITIES IN THE ELECTION OF THE HEAD OF POLSKA 2050. "THEY SHOULD BE INVALIDATED" - SEBASTIAN BIAŁACH ON ONET: "Technical errors, inability to vote, sending links to unauthorized persons—such irregularities occurred during the voting for the new leader of Polska 2050. The election of Szymon Hołownia's successor was supposed to be a demonstration of modern democracy, but it became a source of internal crisis. Some activists say it directly—it was a disgrace and the elections should be invalidated."

-- 10 OUT OF 31 POLSKA 2050 MPS SYMPATHIZING WITH HOŁOWNIA AND PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ WERE REPORTED TO HAVE LEFT THE PARLIAMENTARIANS GROUP ON SIGNAL - IWONA SZPALA: "That wasn't the end of the evening's events. - Supporters of Pełczyńska-Nałęcz and Hołownia started leaving our 'Parliamentarians' group on Signal," a Polska 2050 politician recounts. "In total, about 10 people from the club."

-- HOŁOWNIA IS STILL FIGHTING FOR INFLUENCE - SZPALA CONTINUES IN GW: "Then he talks about a daring plan concocted by Szymon Hołownia's staunchest supporters. That he was supposed to come to the National Council with a proposal to change the procedure for electing the leader of Polska 2050. - Cancel Saturday and set another date, which would allow Hołownia to run. He didn't submit the proposal, but it shows his situation. He lost the party on his own, now he's not sure if he'll retain influence. Hennig-Kloska has already announced that Joanna Mucha will be her first deputy. What's more, Hennig-Kloska refused to support Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in her bid for a place in the party's future board," says a Polska 2050 politician.

-- IN TRUTH, IN JAROSŁAW KACZYŃSKI'S PARTY, THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE SINCE MARCIN ROMANOWSKI'S TRIP TO BUDAPEST - AGATA KONDZIŃSKA IN GW: "- Is the Zbigniew Ziobro case sinking PiS? I think so," PiS MP Ryszard Terlecki told journalists in the Sejm corridor in December. Jacek Sasin admitted on TVP Info that the escape of the former Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General is harming the party. Public opinion polls are also unfavorable for PiS and Ziobro. Ziobro says one thing, does another. Even before Christmas, he scoffed: - I'm traveling around Europe, their hands can't reach me, they show their helplessness and ineffectiveness. At that time, he was arranging asylum for himself and his wife. The President also did not spare Ziobro, who, while believing that the PiS vice-leader cannot count on a fair trial, still considered leaving the country to be problematic.

-- THEY CLAIM TO DEFEND HIM, BUT SOMEHOW WITHOUT FLAIR - THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY OPINIONS EXPRESSED UNOFFICIALLY BY PIS POLITICIANS - KAMILA BARANOWSKA IN INTERIA: "- You're either a leader or a fugitive. If he returned, he would become a hero of the right, but as it is, we defend him, but somehow without flair." This is just one of many opinions expressed unofficially by PiS politicians about Zbigniew Ziobro's asylum in Hungary. Others, on the other hand, take the position that the ailing former Minister of Justice had no choice. Mateusz Morawiecki further fanned the flames. "It's worth asking oneself if the prosecution is indeed politicized. Of course, it is. Is Zbigniew Ziobro being prosecuted for political reasons? Of course, he is being prosecuted for political reasons. Therefore, for me, this decision is not strange," Morawiecki pointed out. However, when asked if he himself would seek asylum in a similar situation, he replied that he would not.

-- OFFICIALLY, PIS STANDS SOLIDLY BEHIND ZIOBRO. BUT UNOFFICIALLY, WE HEAR: DON'T OVERDO IT - JACEK GĄDEK IN NEWSWEEK: "A PiS MP and an enemy of Ziobro laughs: - The leader ordered the defense of Ziobro? I don't think there are any fruits. Ziobro harms us. When we do something good, Ziobro torpedoes it. He shouldn't overdo it by claiming he's being persecuted. There are two such persecuted individuals, and they are now MEPs in Brussels. It will be the same with Ziobro; he'll spend his time in Brussels [where he permanently resides - ed.] or in Hungary." Another says: "We don't need the Ziobro case. He has more enemies than followers in PiS. Most people in PiS think what Terlecki says."

-- THE CHAIRMAN INTENDS TO RULE THE PARTY FOR LIFE, HE HAS CUT SHORT THE FIGHT OF THE INCREASINGLY STRONG BULLDOGS IN THE OLD STYLE: BY ANOINTING SOMEONE ELSE - MICHAŁ DANIELEWSKI ON TYGODNIK POLITYKA'S PORTAL: "Factions within PiS have once again made the same mistake and started fantasizing about the succession after Kaczyński. And since the chairman intends to rule the party for life, he has cut short the fight of the increasingly strong bulldogs in the old style: by anointing someone else."

-- BOGUCKI HAS CHARISMA, PERFORMS WELL IN THE MEDIA, AND UNDER THE GUISE OF A MODERN CONSERVATIVE, HE CAN – WHEN HE WANTS – HIDE HIS RADICAL VIEWS - DANIELEWSKI CONTINUES: "Bogucki has charisma, performs well in the media, and under the guise of a modern conservative, he can – when he wants – hide his radical views. Because although in terms of image he is closer to Mateusz Morawiecki, ideologically he is more similar to Przemysław Czarnek. He also has great potential for popularity growth – because for the overwhelming majority of voters, he is currently a completely anonymous person, his image is perfectly malleable – in the role of a prime ministerial candidate, he can be shaped almost from scratch. If the truth of the time demands a man of dialogue, Bogucki will be a likeable, competent, young lawyer, a politician of the new generation. If the message needs to be sharpened, fighting against Grzegorz Braun, his 'Ukrainophobic' initiatives, such as prosecuting Banderism, criminalizing the 'Volhynian lie,' or limiting the payment of the 800+ benefit to Ukrainian citizens, will lend him credibility."

-- YOU CAN ALMOST PHYSICALLY FEEL THAT THE USUALLY BLASED RANKS OF PIS ARE EXPERIENCING A SURGE – SUCH SINCERE, EMOTIONAL, AND UN-DIRECTED ENTHUSIASM HAS NOT BEEN SEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME - DANIELEWSKI CONTINUES ABOUT BOGUCKI: "In addition, Bogucki serves excellently as a parliamentary representative for President Nawrocki. As can be heard on Wiejska [Parliamentary Hill], when he takes the podium, standing up to fight the ruling majority, you can almost physically feel that the usually blased ranks of PiS are experiencing a surge – such sincere, emotional, and un-directed enthusiasm has not been seen there for a long time. So yes, Zbigniew Bogucki is Kaczyński's good choice. The only question is whether it's enough."
