-- KSeF HASN'T EVEN STARTED AND IT'S ALREADY NOT WORKING - PIOTR JUSZCZYK, CHIEF TAX ADVISOR AT INFAKCY IN CONVERSATION WITH PIOTR MIĄCZYŃSKI IN GW: “And now everyone is starting to ask about the National e-Invoicing System. On top of that, today, as we are talking on Monday, January 26, KSeF has been completely shut down, so entrepreneurs cannot even be granted authorizations to use the system. They want to, we want to, and the certificate and authorization module isn't working.”

-- THE CONFUSION WITH THE NEW INVOICING SYSTEM CLEARLY SHOWS: THERE WAS A LACK OF EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF THE KSEF IMPLEMENTATION, A SYSTEM THAT IS OTHERWISE QUITE USEFUL - PAWEŁ ROCHOWICZ IN RZ: “This isn't just about the language. It's an evident lack of a good project manager for the entire undertaking. Someone who would ensure the process was spread out over time, provide cybersecurity from the very beginning of system construction, ensure proper training for tax officials, and many other matters. Such management of the entire KSeF process could cost us all dearly.”

-- IF FIRST, HEAT PUMP USERS COMPLAINED, NOW GAS BOILER USERS ARE STARTING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HIGH BILLS - IRENEUSZ SUDAK IN GW: “- Since December, I've been renting a 25 sq m apartment. I have the heating set to 21°C, and the apartment temperature is 19°C. My gas bill for December was PLN 780. I'm in shock. Is everything okay? - asks Monika on a forum for gas boiler users. Mild winters have made Poles unaccustomed to high energy bills. This season will be the most expensive in years – the public expects an answer on how to heat their homes to pay less. PLN 1,100 for electricity for a heat pump or PLN 1,000 for gas are normal rates increased by higher energy consumption.”

-- THE ONLY LIFELINE FOR ZYGMUNT SOLORZ, BUT WITH A NEGLIGIBLE CHANCE OF SUCCESS - BARTEK GODUSŁAWSKI IN BUSINESS INSIDER: “Only the legality of the final judgment of the second-instance court will be examined. For the billionaire's constitutional complaint to be effective, he would have to prove a violation of his fundamental rights, such as procedural irregularities or erroneous interpretation of the law by the first and second-instance courts.”

-- "PLAYING THE TRUMP CARD" MAY ALSO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT POLITICAL BATTLE OF THE YEAR IN POLAND - MARIUSZ JANICKI IN PRZYPISY NACZELNEGO TYGODNIKA POLITYKA: “Both sides of Polish politics are watching each other carefully on the issue of Trump and treading on thin ice. Any mistake could be politically costly, as the American president evokes great emotions worldwide, has become an icon of a peculiar, turbo-populist right, but at the same time holds the keys to global security and, whatever one may think of him, he cannot be ignored. He is therefore a problem for both opponents and supporters. Thus, "playing the Trump card" may also be the most important political battle of the year in Poland.”

-- MORAWIECKI IS PATIENT, RESILIENT, AND HAS PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM AND WORK FOR HIM - WOJCIECH SZACKI IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “He could slow down, but he clearly doesn't want to. This would indicate that he wants to play for the highest stakes and become not only a candidate for prime minister after the 2027 elections but also the successor to Jarosław Kaczyński, who is 19 years his senior. This may not happen quickly (or may never happen), but Morawiecki is patient, resilient, and has people who believe in him and work for him.”

-- THIS IS A MESSAGE – TO KACZYŃSKI, TO THE MAŚLARIANS, AND TO THE M&Ms – I AM CONFIDENT, I AM DOING THIS BECAUSE I FEEL I CAN DO IT; I AM STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS - SZACKI FURTHER IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “These are not coincidences. Morawiecki – if he ever wants to be a leader himself – must show that he can stand up to the current leader. To build his own authority, for his people to see him as a leader, to consolidate his faction. This is a message – to Kaczyński, to the maślarians, and to the M&Ms – I am confident, I am doing this because I feel I can do it; I am strong enough for this.”

-- HE WANTS TO BECOME TOO STRONG TO BE KICKED OUT OF PIS; HE ALREADY SEEMS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY OF HIS PREVIOUS PRETENDERS TO THE THRONE IN PIS - SZACKI AGAIN IN POLITYKA: “And this doesn't have to be a prelude to a split in PiS. The maślarians would probably want to push him out of the party, but that would be risky. PiS already has numerous and strong competition on the right. – They would be idiots if they kicked us out – says one of Morawiecki's supporters. He himself isn't planning to leave PiS and claims Morawiecki has no such plans either. The former prime minister is rather starting a long march. He is gathering resources, formulating program postulates, seeking allies (his excellent relationship with the US ambassador is notable), and building online channels. He wants to become too strong to be kicked out of PiS; he already seems more powerful than any of his previous pretenders to the throne in PiS. Morawiecki's strength also lies in the fact that he is the undisputed leader of his faction; the opposing group consists mainly of leaders.”

-- NO ONE HAD TO PLOT AGAINST THEM, CONSPIRE, OR TRIP THEM UP – THEY DEFEATED THEMSELVES - MICHAŁ DANIELEWSKI ON THE PORTAL OF TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “In Poland 2050, they probably think differently, but the truth is that no one had to plot against them, conspire, or trip them up – they defeated themselves, killed themselves with their own fist. It has once again turned out that you cannot effectively do politics while being disgusted by politics.”

-- IT IS ALWAYS EXTREMELY DEMORALIZING FOR THE PUBLIC SPHERE WHEN CAPABLE, HARDWORKING PEOPLE ARE BROUGHT IN AND THROWN INTO THE DEEP END WITHOUT ANY TRAINING - DANIELEWSKI AGAIN: “Today, Poland 2050 has died, and there is nothing to celebrate; instead, sincere condolences should be extended to their families and friends. Because it is always extremely demoralizing for the public sphere when capable, hardworking people are introduced into it and thrown into the deep end without any training, with the conviction that they will learn to swim that way. Well, they didn't learn, they drowned. Today, their carefree guardian Szymon has found enough seriousness and maturity to lead this funeral procession on its last journey into nothingness. But we wouldn't bet even five zlotys that he will succeed in doing so effectively, peacefully, and with dignity.”
