-- PUTIN RECEIVED MUCH LESS FROM TRUMP THAN EXPECTED. THIS IS NOT THE GOLDEN ERA FOR THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT AS ANNOUNCED - MACIEJ NOWICKI IN NEWSWEEK: “Putin received much less from Trump than expected. This is not the golden era for the Russian president as announced. The admiration for Trump's destructive nature has turned into concern for Russians. Trump overthrew Nicolás Maduro, who was linked to Russia, and bombed Iran again, the Kremlin's ally in the Ukrainian war. One commentator, very favorable to Trump, claimed that his strategy had finally become clear: the US president is methodically depriving Russia (and China) of its partners. Except that if this is indeed the case, it is difficult to understand another, even more obvious element of Trump's supposed strategy.”

-- DISTRICT HOSPITAL DIRECTORS IN POLAND ARE CURRENTLY SAYING THEY "CHOOSE DAILY WHETHER TO PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILL, OR FOR STAFF SALARIES, OR FOR MEDICINES" - ACCORDING TO ONET: “As Zaczek summarizes, all district hospital directors in Poland are currently saying that they "choose daily whether to pay the electricity bill, or for staff salaries, or for medicines." The situation is so dramatic that they expect more decisive action from the ministry and the government.”

-- WHILE THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH IS BUSY FILMING REELS, WHAT ABOUT REFORMS? - JUDYTA WATOŁA IN GW: “On the eve of the protest by district hospital directors, the Ministry of Health decided to dismiss the press spokesperson and several other experienced officials. The ministry is now focusing on filming reels and self-congratulation. Reforms are waiting. (...) All this is happening at a time when the ministry has still not presented – contrary to announcements made last summer – a draft amendment to the act on healthcare salary increases. The matter is urgent because the increases are to take effect in July, and there will certainly not be enough money for them in the National Health Fund. It is precisely for this reason that district hospital directors will protest at the ministry on Tuesday.”

-- ZDANOWSKA WAKES UP FOR SPRING AND lavishes PROMISES, MISZALSKI DEFENDS POST-FACTO, ZDANOWSKA PRE-EMPTIVELY - PIOTR BRZÓZKA IN GW: “What harm can there be in promising? – mocks a party colleague of the Mayor of Łódź. And she, after a hard winter, is launching a spring offensive: 200 streets, 4500 apartments, 10,000 people in the Central Communication Port. And free Zoo once a year. – Aleksander Miszalski in Krakow acts post-facto, and she acts pre-emptively, trying to prevent a potential referendum attempt – this is how one of the Civic Coalition activists comments on the moves of Mayor Hanna Zdanowska (KO) and her "team," starting from "games" in the form of free entry to Orientarium and other attractions, ending with "bread," i.e., a rich package of promises, unexpectedly announced 1000 days before the end of her term. (...) – But what harm can there be in promising? – ironically states one of the Łódź Civic Coalition activists, directly referring to an infamous statement by MP Przemysław Witek from this formation.”

-- THE WAR ALSO GIVES THE PRESIDENT A KIND OF ALIBI FOR POTENTIALLY SIGNING THE SAFE ACT - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “The weekend attack by the United States and Israel on Iran comes to the president's aid. Firstly – as is often the case in Polish politics – geopolitics and war, like Donald Trump himself, once again focus public attention in Poland. The war also gives the president a kind of alibi for potentially signing the SAFE act. Sovereignty is sovereignty, but today, in the face of another war, we must arm ourselves as quickly as possible – Nawrocki can say and sign the act.”

-- DID THE CHAIRMAN INVENT THE PRIME MINISTER? HE'LL CHANGE HIS MIND TEN MORE TIMES - PIOTR ZAREMBA IN INTERIA: “Jarosław Kaczyński supposedly has a candidate for prime minister, yet he keeps shuffling names. He's been right many times. The time horizon itself, in essence, the effect of the moment, does not favor good choices and is absurd. In a different balance of power, younger politicians would explain this to Kaczyński, or perhaps deprive him of his monarchical privilege. However, they are blocked by a destructive division, thus incapable of joint action. When a leader's party turns into a tangle of contradictions, making a rational decision is particularly difficult.”

-- KACZYŃSKI TORPEDOES SAFE AND RADICALIZES HIS ANTI-EU RHETORIC SOLELY TO POLITICALLY AID HIS PARTY. THIS TIME, IT MAY NOT SUCCEED - PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ IN INTERIA: “However, this time the radicalization may not help Kaczyński. Even if – against the military's advice – the president were to make the biggest mistake of his career and veto the SAFE program. Especially since the same Adenauer, whom the PiS chairman refers to, also said: "In politics, it's not about being right, but about keeping it." And that's where the difficulties begin.”

-- WE WON'T LET TUSK EAT US, WE WILL DEFEND THE CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL FROM POLITICIANS - PAWEŁ ŚLIZ IN CONVERSATION WITH PAWEŁ FIGURSKI ON PORTAL ZERO: “But calmly, we are doing our job, and I assure you, we will not let Donald Tusk eat us. We are loyal coalition partners, but we have our ideals. And let me be clear, most of the changes being implemented now are in line with my conscience. But I will stand firm if any political aspirations are directed towards the Constitutional Tribunal. I will loudly shout 'no' and will not allow an active politician from our camp, even if he is an excellent legal expert, to go to the Constitutional Tribunal. We would then be replaying what Law and Justice did in the case of Święczkowski, Pawłowicz, and Piotrowicz.”

-- CIVIC COALITION'S LISTS ARE PACKED TO THE GILLS - ŚLIZ AGAIN: “The Civic Coalition's lists are packed to the gills. There is no need for new people there. The PSL also has its capacity. There is a war going on in PiS. In every party, the saying is that the greatest enemy is your colleague on the list. Local government officials will look for a centrist organization for themselves, and we should notice them.”
