Today's State of Play
-- POLITICAL AGENDA FOR WEDNESDAY: TUSK AND DOMAŃSKI AT THE WARSAW STOCK EXCHANGE, KRAJEWSKI WITH FARMERS, KIDAWA-BŁOŃSKA AND KOSINIAK-KAMYSZ ON SAFE, SEJM SESSION BEGINS - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/pl/live
-- KACZYŃSKI IS PREPARING A PURGE IN PIS - JEDYNKA SE: “According to our information, the first names are already on the list. This includes Michał Dworczyk, who has already received one warning and reprimand but still spoke publicly. The fact that Dworczyk is in the crosshairs is also evident when looking at the list of guests scheduled to appear at the panel in Stalowa Wola. The former head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister is not there. The second is Jacek Kurski, whose behavior has long been controversial. Another politician is Sebastian Kaleta, but he has angered party leadership with the way he attacked Ryszard Terlecki. – Not in that tone, not with that language towards an older person – say PiS activists. Terlecki himself, whose position in the party is not the strongest, may also be at risk of being put on the list, although in this case, he might count on more leniency from the chairman.”

-- TWO PARLIAMENTARY CLUBS WILL BE FORMED FROM THE RUINS OF THE PARTY. MORE PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO LEAVE POLSKA 2050 TODAY - ANDRZEJ STANKIEWICZ IN ONET: “According to Onet's findings, this is just the beginning. Ryszard Petru, Joanna Mucha, and Aleksandra Leo are among those who will leave next. The rebels hope to create their own club in parliament, which requires a minimum of 15 people. – That is the plan, although only on the day of departure will we know if someone hasn't broken – says our interlocutor, who is considering leaving the club.”
-- THE PRIME MINISTER CANNOT AFFORD TO REMOVE EITHER PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ'S PARTY OR THOSE WHO LEFT POLSKA 2050 FROM THE COALITION - STANKIEWICZ CONTINUES: “The war between former and current politicians of Polska 2050 could become one of the coalition's main problems. Especially since the coalition has a slim majority in the Sejm, and the Prime Minister cannot afford to remove either Pełczyńska-Nałęcz's party or those who left Polska 2050 from the coalition.”

-- THE GOVERNMENT IS PREPARING A PUBLIC PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE COLLECTED BY THE SERVICES REGARDING THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN KAROL NAWROCKI'S CIRCLE AND SOME RIGHT-WING POLITICIANS WITH THE CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKET - WOJCIECH CZUCHNOWSKI IN GW: “According to "Gazeta Wyborcza" sources, Donald Tusk's advisors believe that evidence of Karol Nawrocki's connections with Zondacrypto, a leader in the Polish cryptocurrency market, should be revealed as soon as possible. This concerns not only Nawrocki and his closest circle but also other politicians. Our interlocutors mention the names of MPs Przemysław Wipler from Konfederacja, Janusz Kowalski from PiS, MEP and presidential advisor Adam Bielan, and Zbigniew Ziobro, former Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General.”

-- EVEN PIS'S MEDIA ALLIES CANNOT SEE THE NEW 500+ BECAUSE KALETA'S FIGHT WITH TERLECKI BLOCKS EVERYTHING OUT - ARTUR BARTKIEWICZ IN RZ: “There is a greater chance that by putting the issue of German scheming on the agenda, Kaczyński will further strengthen his right-wing radicals than that he will find the lost PiS voters. The latter could be caught by the hook of some ambitious program, but there is such a big problem with that recently that even PiS's media allies (which Kaczyński, by the way, pointed out to them) cannot see the new 500+, because Sebastian Kaleta's fight with Ryszard Terlecki blocks everything out.”

-- NOTHING INDICATES THAT THE PRESIDENT INTENDS TO DIVE HEADFIRST INTO AN EMPTY POOL LIKE HIS PIS ACQUAINTANCES, HE WILL SIMPLY CONDUCT A POLITICAL CALCULATION - RAFAŁ KALUKIN IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “After all, it will be Karol Nawrocki who ultimately decides the future of SAFE. The law enabling the loans has already passed through the Sejm and will soon be considered by the Senate. And what will the president do in the end? He didn't reveal his hand to Rymanowski, but he also didn't repeat the venomous PiS communiqués from previous days. Thus, nothing indicates that he intends to dive headfirst into an empty pool like his PiS acquaintances, he will simply conduct a political calculation. Considering that blowing up a program that significantly improves our defense capabilities could seriously affect his popularity.”

-- THE LAW SHOULD BE CORRECTED. BUT THIS IN NO WAY MEANS WE SHOULD THROW THE ENTIRE PROGRAM INTO THE TRASH - JADWIGA EMILEWICZ IN ZERO.PL: “Critics of the SAFE program also raise the demand for full financial sovereignty, arguing that Poland should finance the modernization of the army solely through the issuance of its own treasury bonds or debt securities from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego. They argue that own debt protects us from the mechanism of so-called conditionality, i.e., the risk that Brussels could in the future make disbursements dependent on non-military issues. This is a convincing argument, therefore the law should be corrected. But this in no way means that we should throw the entire program into the trash! It is worth looking at SAFE through the prism of intelligent diversification of financing sources.”
-- SAFE IS NOT A THREAT TO SOVEREIGNTY. IT CAN BE AN INSTRUMENT TO STRENGTHEN IT – PROVIDED NECESSARY CORRECTIONS ARE MADE - JADWIGA EMILEWICZ CONTINUES ON THE ZERO.PL PORTAL: “SAFE is not a threat to sovereignty. It can be an instrument to strengthen it – provided necessary corrections are made and it is used in a reasonable, transparent, and state-controlled manner. Rejecting SAFE entirely would not be a demonstration of independence, but a costly strategic mistake. And Poland cannot afford such mistakes in the current geopolitical situation.”
-- FIERCE CRITICS SAY SAFE WILL FORCE US TO BUY FROM GERMANY. WHY, HOWEVER, NOT UNDERTAKE JOINT VENTURES WITH NORTHERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES? - EMILEWICZ AGAIN: “Fierce critics, however, say that SAFE will force us to buy from Germany. But why not undertake joint ventures with Northern European countries? Sweden has advanced radar and reconnaissance systems (SAAB), Norway is developing NSM anti-ship missiles and coastal defense technologies, Denmark is investing in air and naval defense systems. Joint projects in this area would strengthen the interoperability of the Baltic Sea region and realistically increase the security of the entire eastern flank of NATO. All of them can be financed from SAFE.”

-- UKRAINIANS SUFFER, FIGHT, DIE SO THAT THEIR COUNTRY CAN ONE DAY FIND ITSELF IN A PLACE LIKE TODAY'S POLAND - JERZY BACZYŃSKI IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: “Let's recall: Ukrainians suffer, fight, and die so that their country can one day find itself in a place like today's Poland, in NATO, the European Union, in the West. Meanwhile, a part of the 'Polish elites' is again dangerously playing with history due to expediency, provoking fate. A war that is very much ours is raging right next door.”
