-- DOMAŃSKI: WE CANNOT RULE OUT SOLUTIONS THAT WILL LEAD TO LOWER FUEL PRICES AT STATIONS, RYMANOWSKI: DO YOU HAVE RENEWABLE ENERGY ON YOUR ROOF? CZARNEK: YES, IT TURNED OUT TO BE COMPLETELY UNPROFITABLE, MONDAY'S POLITICAL AGENDA: CZARNEK AT ORLEN IN THE MORNING, KO RESULTS, TUSK WITH THE DUTCH PRIME MINISTER, CZARZASTY ON HOUSING STRATEGY - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/pl/live
-- JAROS TAKES WROCŁAW AND ALMOST LOWER SILESIA. WIELICHOWSKA CRUSHED IN WAŁBRZYCH, ANNOUNCES PROTEST - MAGDALENA KOZIOŁ IN GW: “The commission drew more ballots from the urn than there were voters. On Sunday at 11 PM, the unofficial results were as follows: Wielichowska won in Wrocław and Wrocław county, receiving 347 party members' votes, while Jaros received 302. However, with the regional results, the current chairman won by a few votes overall. Monika Wielichowska issued a statement in which she outlined the irregularities and announced an electoral protest.”

-- DIRTY WAR IN THE LUBLIN CIVIC COALITION - SEBASTIAN BIAŁACH ON ONEcie: “- Just please don't write what I'm about to tell you – says an important KO politician from the Lublin region. - Why? – I ask. - Will you write that Marta has the "mentality of a screaming zeppelin" and Michał is an "arrogant loafer"? They'll block you or get offended and call complaining that you published it – our interlocutor is surprised. Marta Wcisło was the first. In an interview for "Dziennik Wschodni" in early February this year, she suggested that the leader of KO is on her side: "Prime Minister Tusk told me: 'Fight. You have to win this, you are in my heart.'" After these words, a storm erupted on KO groups on messengers. Supporters of Michał Krawczyk began to question the MEP's honesty and demanded proof. They wanted proof that Marta Wcisło wasn't making it up. The argument is clearly visible in the screenshots, which – following the example of Poland 2050 – began to leak at an alarming rate.”

-- CIVIC COALITION ELECTIONS IN RADOM. A BITTER PILL FOR THE CITY MAYOR - MAŁGORZATA RUSEK IN GW: “MP Konrad Frysztak has been elected the new chairman of the Civic Coalition's city structures in Radom. He defeated the incumbent mayor Radosław Witkowski in the race.”

-- PAWEŁ KOWAL UNOFFICIAL WINNER OF ELECTIONS FOR HEAD OF KO IN PODKARPACIE. DOUBTS EXIST - AGATA KULCZYCKA IN GW: “Within KO, among Paweł Kowal's opponents, doubts have arisen as to whether all votes are valid. They concerned the identity of the voters and whether all persons who voted had paid their membership dues in KO, which is a condition for participation in the elections.”

-- IN GREATER POLAND BOSACKI LOST TO URBANIAK, IN OPOLE REGION ROBERT WĘGRZYN RETURNS - MARTA RAWICZ IN GW: “In Greater Poland, MP Jarosław Urbaniak won the struggle for power in the region, defeating Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Marcin Bosacki. In the Opole region, the winner of Sunday's contest was former MP (currently local government official) Robert Węgrzyn (he received significantly more votes than his rival, current MP Tomasz Kostuś).”

-- ZONDACRYPTO ADVERTISEMENTS HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM TV REPUBLIKA - WOJCIECH CZUCHNOWSKI IN GW: “Advertisements for Zondacrypto – the largest cryptocurrency exchange in our part of Europe – have disappeared from TV Republika. The government has not yet announced a report on Zondacrypto's political connections, and the KNF reminds that it has no control over the exchange. Approximately 3 million people in Poland invest in cryptocurrencies.”
-- THE PARLIAMENTARY VOTE ON REJECTING THE SECOND VETO WILL BE PRECEDED BY THE GOVERNMENT'S REVELATION OF THE TYPE OF REPORT ON THE CONNECTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT'S CAMP AND PIS AND KONFEDERACJA POLITICIANS WITH THE CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKET. FOR NOW, HOWEVER, THERE IS NO REPORT - CZUCHNOWSKI AGAIN: “A few days later, "Wyborcza" reported that the parliamentary vote on rejecting the second veto would be preceded by the government's revelation of the type of report on the connections of the president's camp and PiS and Konfederacja politicians with the cryptocurrency market. This was the plan for the government's offensive. For now, however, there is no report. And our interlocutors, who announced it, are not answering questions. More importantly, there is no set date for the parliamentary vote on the presidential veto. When asked about this by our government spokesperson Adam Szłapka, he initially claimed that the matter was within the jurisdiction of the Marshal of the Sejm. When we checked that such an item (rejecting the veto) was not included in the parliamentary calendar, Szłapka referred us to Maciej Berek, a minister in the Prime Minister's Chancellery, and when he did not respond – to the head of the Chancellery, Jan Grabiec. Neither reacted.”

-- FROM KACZYŃSKI'S PERSPECTIVE, CZARNEK HAS ALL ADVANTAGES TODAY: HE WILL HARSHLY ATTACK THE GOVERNMENT, ATTRACT BRAUN'S EXTREME ELECTORATE, UNITE THE PARTY IN THE FIELD, AND TRY TO APPEASE THE OFFENDED MORAWIECKI - DOMINIKA WIELOWIEYSKA IN GW: “However, the situation is different now, because almost everyone has forgotten about "villa plus," and the current ruling team has essentially not settled this procedure. Furthermore, today the game is not about libertarians, because they will vote for Konfederacja anyway. The stake is Braun's voters, and Czarnek will be excellent for this. Besides, he will unite the party in the field and try to appease the offended Morawiecki. That is why Czarnek's candidacy is an optimal solution for PiS at this moment.”
-- THE DEPARTURE OF THE SCOUTING FACTION FROM PIS WOULD BE A CATASTROPHE FOR NOWOGRODZKA, BUT IT IS ALSO NOT ADVANTAGEOUS FOR MORAWIECKI HIMSELF - WIELOWIEYSKA AGAIN: “The departure of the scouting faction from PiS would be a catastrophe for Nowogrodzka, but it is also not advantageous for Morawiecki himself. Today, his goal is to effectively staff the electoral lists with his loyal collaborators before the 2027 elections and build such strength in the future PiS club that Nowogrodzka will not be able to make any decision without Morawiecki's consent. Then the former prime minister will be able to truly call the shots. Considering that his people from so-called non-priority positions got into the European Parliament, outperforming the president's favorites, such a plan might succeed.”

-- CZARNEK IS MEANT TO FIGHT, NOT TO PLEASE - MAREK MIKOŁAJCZYK ON THE ZERO PORTAL: “If we were to look for someone in the Sejm who has not backed down in recent years, Przemysław Czarnek would easily be on the list of the top five, if not top three, political fighters. His candidacy may not appeal to many. But that is not the role the former Minister of Education is meant to play. Przemysław Czarnek is meant to fight, not to please.”
-- CZARNEK'S WORDS WILL CAUSE EXACTLY THE EFFECT THEY ARE MEANT TO CAUSE. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE WILL BE CONSTANTLY FLOODED WITH INFORMATION ABOUT WHO PRZEMYSŁAW CZARNEK HAS INSULTED - MAREK MIKOŁAJCZYK AGAIN ON ZERO: “And I bet that his words will cause exactly the effect they are meant to cause. Over the next few months, we will be constantly flooded with information about who Przemysław Czarnek has insulted, who he has mocked, how rudely he has treated someone. The other side will start playing this game, increasing the popularity of the Lublin parliamentarian. They are already doing it, putting caricatured images of Czarnek online.”

-- THE NEW DRIVER OF KACZYŃSKI'S TRAIN HAS SIGNALSED A SHIFT TO THE RIGHT - MICHAŁ DANIELEWSKI ON TYGODNIK POLITYKA PORTAL: “Tough, brilliant, brazen, bows to no one – not the EU, not Germany, not any leftists. And a professor. The designation of Przemysław Czarnek as a candidate for prime minister will delight PiS's hardline electorate. Kaczyński has signaled consolidation and mobilization. But is it too late?”
-- DANIELEWSKI ON PIS'S HOPE FOR POLARIZATION: “Kaczyński's hope, however, lies in Przemysław Czarnek's polarizing potential. The more he is attacked, the more successfully PiS manages to draw the Civic Coalition into a dispute defined by them, the greater the chances that Law and Justice will once again become the main point of reference on the right, taking away the capital of social interest from Konfederacja and Grzegorz Braun's party.”

-- KACZYŃSKI GIVES UP ANY ATTEMPTS AT THE CENTER, CZARNEK HAS NO PROPOSALS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS AND YOUNG PEOPLE - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “Kaczyński is thus giving up any attempts at the center. The right's candidate for prime minister may have joked about "baby, peasant, and small townsfolk," but he had no proposals for the middle class and young Poles. A speech filled with jokes about "The Four Tank-Men and a Dog" and "half-babies" and "half-peasants" not only resembled the Masurian Cabaret Night but was also anachronistic.”

-- THE KRAKOW CONVENTION SHOWS THAT THE PARTY'S STRATEGY MAY SUCCEED, AND CZARNEK AS A CANDIDATE FOR PRIME MINISTER MAY WIN BACK RIGHT-WING VOTERS - JACEK NIZINKIEWICZ IN RZ: “Czarnek is the ideal candidate for PiS prime minister. He will fight for voters who have drifted to Konfederacja Korony Polskiej. As one of the few in the party, he openly stated that PiS could cooperate with Braun. Today, PiS is betting on Czarnek to win back its voters from Braun. A candidate who is extremely right-wing, conservative, Catholic, God-fearing, rhetorically skilled, who deliberately can speak like a bishop, but also lower his voice, modulate it, and speak like Grzegorz Braun. This is not a coincidence.”

-- THE PRESIDENT OF PIS WANTS TO SAVE THE PARTY, SETTING OUT TO WIN OVER THE ELECTORATE OF KONFEDERACJA AND BRAUN - PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ ON INTERIA: “The President of PiS wants to save the party by targeting the electorate of Konfederacja and Braun. But this means he is cutting himself off from party centrists, and even from President Nawrocki, who wanted to encompass the entire right wing under a common umbrella, not just its radical factions.”
-- A SPLIT IS IN THE AIR - SZUBARTOWICZ AGAIN: “Today, Kaczyński is looking for a way out of the twilight that has befallen his party, aware that Morawiecki no longer listens to party orders and is playing his own game. A split is in the air, and the former PiS prime minister has not yet tried his hand as the leader of his own formation, for which he has the credentials. And now he has received a new impetus. Perhaps he is just waiting for the right moment. If he has enough courage and determination.”
