-- IN BARTOSZYCE, THE NUMBER OF BIRTHS FELL BY ALMOST HALF IN THREE YEARS. OFFICIAL REASON: DEMOGRAPHICS. IN PRACTICE: LACK OF ANESTHESIA, AN OUTDATED WARD, STAFF CONFLICTS, AND DECISIONS THAT PERSONNEL CALL A THREAT TO PATIENT SAFETY - OLIWIA GĘSIARZ IN OKO.PRESS: "This is not a local story – it's a model example of the crisis of county maternity wards. (...) However, according to critics, such actions could further deepen the demographic crisis in Poland. It impacts communicatively excluded patients who cannot afford 'maternity tourism'."

-- ŻUKOWSKA: THE PRIME MINISTER MUST START TREATING PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY, A RED CARD, BUT WITHOUT A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE. ŻUKOWSKA ON THE LEFT'S STANCE ON THE MINISTER OF HEALTH, BOSAK ADVISES BRAUN: ONE MUST RESIGN FROM FLIRTING WITH MAD, AGENTURRAL ENVIRONMENTS, OR POLITICAL EXTREMES - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/pl/live

-- IF TUSK DOESN'T WANT TO GIVE PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ THE POSITION OF DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER, OUR GROUP MAY INTENSIFY ITS COURSE TOWARDS CIVIC COALITION - MONIKA WALUŚ QUOTES A PEŁCZYŃSKA ACCREDITED PERSON IN ONET: "Another of our interlocutors foresees yet another scenario. - If Tusk doesn't want to give Pełczyńska-Nałęcz the position of Deputy Prime Minister, our group may intensify its course towards Civic Coalition. Katarzyna herself won't do this, but during the elections, we got to know her accredited people who are ready to fight with Tusk." The politician has in mind primarily MP Bartosz Romowicz. But when we ask the leader of the Poland 2050 club, MP Paweł Śliz, about the scenario of a coalition war, he replies firmly: - We are a loyal coalition partner, and what happens within our party will in no way affect the stability of the coalition."

-- PARADOXICALLY, THEREFORE, MORE TENSIONS MAY ARISE NOT ON THE TUSK-PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ LINE, BUT PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ – THE LEFT - AGATA SZCZĘŚNIAK IN OKO.PRESS: "The new leader will propose a more social program and may come into conflict with the New Left here. In recent months, there has already been competition between Poland 2050 and the governing left over who 'owns' housing programs. In the pre-election period – and 2026 marks the beginning of the campaign for the next parliament – parties will compete to be associated with success and effectiveness in the eyes of voters. Paradoxically, therefore, more tensions may arise not on the Tusk-Pełczyńska-Nałęcz line, but Pełczyńska-Nałęcz – the Left."

-- HENNIG-KLOSKA MAY RECEIVE FROM THE CIVIC COALITION A PROPOSAL TO FILL THE SPOT ON THE ELECTORAL LIST VACATED BY MICHAŁ KOŁODZIEJCZAK - SZCZĘŚNIAK FURTHER IN OKO: "The new leader took over a deeply divided party. Her opponents included several relatively heavyweights: the experienced politician Joanna Mucha, MEP Michał Kobosko, Ryszard Petru, who, as it turns out, despite multiple political deaths, always manages to resurrect. Finally – Paulina Hennig-Kloska. The latter may receive from Civic Coalition a proposal to fill a spot on the electoral list vacated by Michał Kołodziejczak."

-- NOT SO MUCH A SPLIT, BUT THE DEPARTURE FROM THE CLUB OF SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS MOST CONFLICTED WITH THE NEW LEADER. THE FUTURE OF RYSZARD PETRU, FOR EXAMPLE, REMAINS UNCERTAIN - MICHAŁ KOLANKO IN RZ: "(...) questions about a potential split still arise. According to our information, if a split is to occur, it will not be so much a split in the near future, but the departure from the club of several individuals most conflicted with the new leader. The question of, for example, the future of Ryszard Petru remains open."

-- ARKADIUSZ GRUSZCZYŃSKI WRITES IN GW ABOUT THE ANALOGIES BETWEEN THE SITUATIONS OF SIKORSKI AND MORAWIECKI IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PARTIES: "Just as Kaczyński allows Morawiecki to grow – under control – Tusk allows Radosław Sikorski to do the same. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has adopted a similar strategy to the former prime minister: he travels around the country, meets with activists, gives interviews, and is active on the international stage."

-- THE SITUATION AS OF TODAY IS CLEAR: KACZYŃSKI RULES PIS WITH A FIRM HAND, TWO LARGE FACTIONS WORK MORE FOR THEMSELVES THAN FOR THE PARTY, AND MORAWIECKI IS BUILDING HIS INTERNAL POSITION AND IMAGE AS AN OPEN POLITICIAN - ARKADIUSZ GRUSZCZYŃSKI IN GW: "The situation as of today is clear: Kaczyński rules PiS with a firm hand, two large factions work more for themselves than for the party, and Morawiecki is building his internal position and image as an open politician. In the ruling coalition, they view the troubles of the largest party on the right with satisfaction. - In December, we watched with amusement as Morawiecki attacked Czarnka, as Kurski attacked the former prime minister. This pleased us greatly; we were rooting for even more chaos in PiS," I hear from a Civic Coalition MP."

-- "RADEK KNOWS THAT THE OBSTACLE TO THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT THE POLES, BUT THE ACTIVISTS OF HIS OWN PARTY," ADMITS A CIVIC COALITION MP IN A CONVERSATION WITH GRUSZCZYŃSKI: "And he also has one goal, even more ambitious than that of the former prime minister. Sikorski is fighting for a nomination in the presidential elections in four years. - Radek knows that the obstacle to the presidency is not the Poles, but the activists of his own party," admits a Civic Coalition MP, who immediately declares that she would vote for the Deputy Prime Minister and Head of Diplomacy in the elections."

-- 20 YEARS AGO, the leaders of PiS, Samoobrona RP, and LPR signed the so-called stabilization pact. The ceremony was broadcast live exclusively by Telewizja Trwam, in response to which other media refused to participate in the re-signing of the pact, which was later staged for them.
