-- 13 DEPUTIES ARE WITH HOŁOWNIA, 2 FEMALE DEPUTIES ARE HESITATING - REPORTED BY DOROTA GAWRYLUK IN KALEJDOSKOP WYDARZEŃ POLSAT NEWS. 

-- GAWRYLUK REPORTED THAT IN SEPTEMBER 2025, HOŁOWNIA EXPERIENCED A HEALTH CRISIS, AND TWO GOVERNMENT MEMBERS: Kloska and Pełczyńska-Nałęcz promised him cooperation: “Gawryluk added that during the health crisis, Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz and Paulina Hennig-Kloska were close to Hołownia. - They said to Szymon something like this: 'Listen, take a rest, we'll take care of the party, we'll make sure everything is fine. You don't interfere anymore, maybe look for a job somewhere that will give you some relief.' And he believed that everything would indeed be fine. He then felt betrayed and tried to step in and save what was left, and hence his hesitation - she explained”.

-- ONE AND A HALF MILLION FOR A NEWSPAPER AND A "PLAN B". THIS IS HOW MISZALSKI FIGHTS THE SPECTER OF A REFERENDUM - DAWID SERAFIN in INTERIA: “The Krakow city hall plans to spend over a million zlotys on promoting Aleksander Miszalski's achievements. A city newspaper, with a print run of 220,000 copies, is to be delivered to residents' mailboxes. Simultaneously, local members of the Civic Coalition are to work to discredit the referendum initiators. Despite official calm, discussions are already underway in party corridors about selecting a candidate in case of early elections.”

-- UNFORTUNATELY, OLEK HAS RECENTLY BECOME A MEME - CONVINCES ANOTHER POLITICIAN FROM THE CIVIC COALITION IN SERAFIN'S ARTICLE IN INTERIA: “- Unfortunately, Olek has recently become a meme, and some are trying to ridicule him even more. That's why we have to show what has been achieved so far, and there is something to be proud of. We have communicated too poorly with residents so far, and if you don't know something and are not aware, you can make bad decisions. That's why we want to reach as many people as possible with information about successes - convinces another Civic Coalition politician from Krakow.”

-- THEN, AS A COMMUNIST, I LOOKED AT THOSE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO FEAR AND RUBBED MY EYES IN AMAZEMENT. BECAUSE THEY WERE GREAT PEOPLE. FOR ME, IT WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE - MAREK SIWIEC IN CONVERSATION WITH AGNIESZKA KUBLIK in GW: “Then, as a communist, I looked at those we were supposed to fear and rubbed my eyes in amazement. Because they were great people. For me, it was an unbelievable experience that shaped me. When "Solidarity" won the elections, I wasn't afraid of that result. I only regretted that Aleksander Kwaśniewski didn't get into the Senate, because he would have been useful there. You know, in 1980, I joined "Solidarity" as a researcher at the AGH University of Science and Technology. I really liked what that "Solidarity" said and did.”

-- THERE IS MAGIC IN THIS ROUND TABLE - SIWIEC CONTINUES WITH KUBLIK in GW: “There is magic in this round table. Anyone who cannot see it adheres to a completely different value system – without compromise, debate, or agreement, encouraging a political battle in which there must be a loser.”

-- AT THIS MOMENT, MY PROBLEM IS NOT THE PRESIDENT'S PAST, BUT WHETHER HE WILL HAVE ANY PART IN CREATING THE GREATNESS OF MY COUNTRY, WHETHER HE IS COOPERATIVE - SIWIEC CONTINUES with KUBLIK: “I would like us to start with the significance of the act of election to the presidency – Karol Nawrocki was effectively elected president, he has a PKW certificate and was sworn in by the National Assembly. The election is valid. Therefore, at this moment, my problem is not the president's past, but whether he will have any part in creating the greatness of my country, whether he is cooperative. If I see that, I am able to forgive a lot. I also think with concern about those who voted for him.”

-- I WILL SAY SOMETHING UNPOPULAR. I BELIEVE THAT THE PRESIDENT, WHO HAS ACCESS TO ALL SECRETS, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF THE BBN. AND THE PRESIDENT HAS THE RIGHT TO DISCRETIONARILY ALLOW ACCESS TO THESE DATA TO WHOMEVER HE WISHES - SIWIEC further: “I will say something unpopular. I believe that the president, who has access to all secrets, is responsible for the functioning of the BBN. And the president has the right to discretionarily allow access to these data to whomsoever he wishes, including the head of the BBN without access to classified information. So we are dealing with a certain fiction, where procedurally Professor Cenckiewicz does not have access to secrets, but in fact, he does. Since the president does not want to dismiss Professor Cenckiewicz from the position of head of the BBN, this fiction will continue to function. And answering your question, no, it is not effective. One can be offended by this situation, but why, since we all know it cannot be changed.”

-- I WOULD NOT SUFFER IF A PIECE OF GREENLAND OBTAINED THE STATUS OF PUERTO RICO, A TERRITORY UNDER THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE UNITED STATES, BUT NOT A STATE - SIWIEC further with KUBLIK: “I would not suffer if a piece of Greenland obtained the status of Puerto Rico, a territory under the sovereignty of the United States, but not a state. The residents of Puerto Rico are US citizens, they have the right to free movement, but they do not vote in presidential elections. Let them build a military base. If the Danes agree to it, and they probably will, it will resolve the conflict.”

-- THE STYLE OF POLITICS PRACTICED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DIFFERENT, AND WE SIMPLY MUST TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT, BUT THE MILITARY PRESENCE OF THE USA IN GREENLAND IS BENEFICIAL FOR EVERYONE - SIWIEC further: “This is how I imagine it, I'm improvising now, that since Trump is demanding Greenland, he actually expects some form of facilitation of military presence there. In this important place for the world in 10, 50, and 150 years. This is beneficial for everyone. The style of politics practiced by President Trump is different, and we simply must take that into account, so as not to pour the baby out with the bathwater.”

-- I DON'T WANT TO SAY BY THIS THAT I FEEL DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. BUT IN THE CULTURE OF THE ELITE, WHICH INCLUDES LECTURERS, JOURNALISTS, AND RESIDENTS OF LARGE CITIES, RELIGION IS IDENTIFIED WITH IGNORANCE - MARCIN MATCZAK IN CONVERSATION WITH ESTERA FLIEGER in RZ: “I am a religious person, a Catholic. Sometimes I get the impression that it's like saying you listen to disco polo. I don't want to say by this that I feel discriminated against. But in the culture of the elite, which includes lecturers, journalists, and residents of large cities, religion is identified with ignorance, superstition. A modern person is supposed to abandon it; if not – it will reflect poorly on them.”

-- ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE SUCCESS OF POPULISTS IS THE SENSE OF PROGRESSIVE MORAL CHAOS AND THE DECLINE OF VALUES - MATCZAK further with FLIEGER: “Serious analysts, e.g., Karen Stenner, argue that one of the reasons for the success of populists is the sense of progressive moral chaos and the decline of values. In the world of social media, it is easy to fuel this by showing real attacks on religion and values important to a large group of Poles. If the politicians governing Poland do not react, it creates the impression that they represent the same camp. In a polarized society, a populist explains to his electorate that they are cornered. And these attacks confirm this. I believe that on the liberal, progressive side, there is currently no one who programmatically, thoughtfully, and respectfully communicates with these voters. And this is a mistake.”

-- PERHAPS SOON WE WILL NOSTALGICALLY REMEMBER JAROSŁAW KACZYŃSKI'S RIGHT-WING STANCE - MATCZAK further with FLIEGER in RZ: “Those who avoid diversity constitute over 30% in Poland today, summing up the voters of PiS, Konfederacja, and Konfederacja Korony Polskiej. Moreover, there is a flow of PiS electorate to Konfederacja Korony Polskiej – people are increasingly afraid and need radical defenders, so perhaps soon we will nostalgically remember Jarosław Kaczyński's right-wing stance. Elites who want an open and law-abiding Poland, and one within the European Union, must therefore – at least in part – understand that aggressive statements by their representatives about religion are foolish and do not deserve support. Let's stop sharing them.”
