-- BRAUN'S ROYAL CONGRESS. 5000 PLN TO BECOME A PATRON. TICKETS SOLD OUT - DANIEL DROB IN GAZETA.PL: "– KINGS is supposed to be our showcase," one of the activists from Konfederacja Korony Polskiej tells us. On the last day of January, Grzegorz Braun's party has planned a congress with several dozen panelists. The formation wants to show that it can attract well-known names from outside its ranks. "Many people think that Korona only deals with Ukrainians and Jews, and that the economy or finances don't concern us. KINGS is proof that it's otherwise. We have contacts with specialists from various fields," assures a member of Korona. "The congress is to be our showcase," he adds. Among the panelists – besides party activists – is Jan Pospieszalski, who will lead a discussion on freedom of speech. Monika Jaruzelska, editor-in-chief of "Do Rzeczy" Paweł Lisicki, and the ultra-right blogger Marcin Rola, who is deeply embedded in the Korona environment, are also expected to participate in the debate."

-- THE JUSTICE FUND STILL NOT OPERATIONAL - ANTON AMBROZIAK IN OKO.PRESS: "Thousands of people, including children, have been left without specialist assistance because Waldemar Żurek's ministry delayed the resolution of the competition for support for victims of crimes from the Justice Fund. In December, he promised acceleration, but organizations are raising the alarm that the tug-of-war continues. The network of centers providing specialist assistance to victims of crimes is not functioning. Thousands of people, including women and children experiencing domestic violence, victims of sexual assault, or seniors who have been defrauded, have been deprived of free state assistance. 'It is not our practice to turn people away. Besides, we have nowhere to send them because the centers are not operating,' Maja Kuźmicz, head of the Blue Line IPZ, one of the organizations that has been operating in the Assistance Network for years, tells OKO.press."

-- PIS HAD TO FIND A NEW IDEA AFTER THE IMAGE DEBACLE THAT WAS THE CPK PLOT AFFAIR - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: "After the right-wing politicians' attachment to large investments turned out to be not entirely disinterested – as revealed by the affair with the plot of land near CPK – Jarosław Kaczyński's party needed a new idea. The CPK idea was so ruined in terms of image for PiS by the plot affair that Donald Tusk announced that this acronym meant Cały PiS Kradnie (The Whole PiS Steals). And he proposed a new name: Port Polska."

-- ZIOBRO'S POLITICAL CAREER IS ALREADY ENDING ANYWAY - MICHAŁ DANIELEWSKI ON THE TYGODNIK POLITYKA PORTAL: "Ziobro has no right to be surprised, anyway. Even he probably realizes that aspiring to the role of a political leader requires sacrifices, especially if the PiS politician's babble about the unjust regime of Tusk looming over him were true: because it cannot be the case that a leader abandons his companions to the executioners of the dictatorship, while he himself lives comfortably in distant Budapest. President Karol Nawrocki summarized it best on Wednesday: 'Would I abandon the Republic of Poland even in the face of the breaking of the rule of law by the current government? I would not abandon it, because I am a historian and I know that the Polish system was also broken by the communists after 1945. But there are those who, unable to count on a fair trial, leave Poland.' Ziobro has therefore lost the qualities he so often liked to boast about: determination and courage."
-- HIS COLLEAGUES ARE RATHER PRAYING NOT FOR HIM, BUT FOR THE PUBLIC OPINION TO QUICKLY FORGET THAT SOMEONE LIKE ZBIGNIEW ZIOBRO EXISTS - DANIELEWSKI CONTINUES: "Instead, today his colleagues are rather praying not for him, but for the public opinion to quickly forget that someone like Zbigniew Ziobro exists. Once the sheriff who shook the judiciary and inspired fear, today a political tourist stripped of power, influence, and prestige, with an asylum from Orbán in his pocket."
