-- WOMAN DIES AFTER SCANDALOUS ERRORS IN HOSPITAL. MINISTRY SHRUGS, NFZ SHRUBS SHOULDERS - JUDYTA WATOŁA IN GW: "NFZ will not control the hospital in Sosnowiec, where one doctor was reportedly on duty for 5,000 hours a year. Earlier, he refused a control at the hospital where a 41-year-old woman died as a result of scandalous negligence. The explanation: 'If we were to terminate contracts for such matters, we would have no one to sign them with.'

-- NAWROCKI WANTS TO LEAD THE PRESIDENCY IN OPPOSITION TO WARSAW MEDIA AND DAILY AGENDAS - MICHAŁ KOLANKO IN RZ: "Interlocutors from Nawrocki's campaign team who later joined the Palace emphasize that if they had reacted to such matters during the campaign, to every provocation from 'Warsaw's elite,' they would never have won the presidential elections. This ability to navigate between social media storms is to be a decisive, but not the only, principle of Nawrocki's operation. This, of course, does not mean that the president should never react. But he doesn't want to be reactive, but rather more offensive."

-- IN THE PALACE, EVERY DAY IS TO BE FILLED WITH SOMETHING, IN CONTRAST TO DUDY'S TIMES, WHEN WEEKS PASSED AIMLESSLY - KOLANKO FURTHER IN RZ: "For comparison, Nawrocki is considered a calm person, even 'nerveless,' who tries to communicate with his collaborators briefly and concretely. He often does this via SMS rather than by phone. He also reportedly arranged a meeting with Donald Tusk this way. In the Palace, every day is to be filled with something, in contrast to Duda's times, when weeks passed aimlessly."

-- RECOGNIZING THAT THEY WILL NEVER WIN OVER WARSAW MEDIA ANYWAY – BECAUSE, IN THEIR OPINION, THESE MOSTLY CHEERED FOR TRZASKOWSKI – THEY ARE TRYING TO POSITION THEMSELVES OUTSIDE OF THEM - STILL MICHAŁ KOLANKO IN RZ: "Members of Karol Nawrocki's administration approach most texts describing the Palace itself with a great deal of distance. Recognizing that they will never win over Warsaw media anyway – because, in their opinion, these mostly cheered for Rafał Trzaskowski – they are therefore trying to position themselves outside of them. In theory, this is to ensure a second term, and in the future, perhaps a new chapter for the Polish right."

-- KOLANKO ON THE MOTIF OF ITALIAN COACH CARLO ANCELOTTI, WHOSE WORDS WERE CITED BY SZEFERNAKER: "The Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose book on leadership was mentioned by Szefernakera during the presidential campaign, once said: 'Two things define you: your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.' Nawrocki and his team certainly had moments when they had little – for example, in their confrontation with Trzaskowski. They were doomed to failure in that confrontation even before the match began. Now, their attitude when they have not only the chandelier, but also everything they have fought for themselves will define them."

-- BY MAKING SUCH DECISIONS, KO MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR PRESIDENT KAROL NAWROCKI, AND ADDS BURDENS AND WEAKNESSES TO ITSELF – ASSESSES PROF. JAROSŁAW FLIS IN AN INTERVIEW WITH ADA MICHALAK IN RZ: "It's difficult for me to speak on behalf of the Civic Coalition, but in my opinion, this behavior is harmful to that group. This decision stems more from getting lost in political rivalry and polarization – we saw this in previous terms with the Law and Justice party. It's about ignoring the rule that those in power should mitigate social conflicts, not inflame them. Breaking this rule cost PiS its power."

-- THE CIVIC COALITION LOSES OUT, AND THE PRESIDENT GAINS ANOTHER ARGUMENT IN HIS FAVOR - FURTHER FLIS IN RZ: "The Civic Coalition loses out, and the president gains another argument in his favor. Karol Nawrocki is also threatened with accusations of 'nitpicking,' being a brake, and being unconstructive. Such a boycott provides the president with arguments in his dispute with the government. He can say: 'Here you go, I wanted to, but they didn't want to.' By making such decisions, the Civic Coalition makes life easier for President Karol Nawrocki, and adds burdens and weaknesses to itself."

-- THIS IS ACTION IN THE SPIRIT OF SILNI RAZEM - FURTHER PROF. FLIS IN RZ: "If the president comes up with an initiative to lower the level of tension, it is beneficial from the perspective of those in power. Rejecting such a proposal in the long term – that's how I understand it – is an action in the spirit of 'Silni Razem' (Strong Together). The president meets with ministers anyway, and everyone also knows that the government plays the decisive role in the country's affairs, and the president can at most 'apply the emergency brake'."

-- RES FUTURA: REFERENDUM IN KRAKOW ENTERS THE RADAR:
Online reach: 11MLN
Comments:
Support for referendum – 58%
Opposition to referendum – 21%
Among commentators, supporters of the referendum are most numerous, active both informatively and declaratively. The main axes of narrative division are: SCT – 27%, referendum as citizen pressure – 21%, accusations of cronyism – 18%, city salary increases – 12%. The supporting side points to a lack of consultation, communication exclusion, and bonuses for officials. Opponents emphasize the cost of the procedure, the political nature of the initiative, and the low representativeness of the organizers. The most frequently expressed emotions are anger (29%), frustration (24%), contempt (17%), and hope (9%). Mobilization crosses traditional party divisions – both former KO voters and the anti-system electorate participate. The discourse is dominated by strongly polarized language and black-and-white assessments. There is limited space for moderate or pragmatic voices. The referendum functions as a national flashpoint, activating various identity groups.
