-- THE RULING COALITION'S CHANCES OF MAINTAINING A MAJORITY WOULD BE ONLY 15 PERCENT - ONET ANALYSIS: "If elections were held today in the current configuration, the ruling coalition's chances of maintaining a majority would be only 15 percent. This means no improvement whatsoever since the beginning of the year. However, better list arrangements by centrist parties could significantly increase these chances."

-- THE COLLEGIUM HUMANUM DIPLOMA SCANDAL IN WARSAW'S CIVIC COALITION - RENATA KIM IN NEWSWEEK: "Two years after the scandal, the party cannot get a handle on the individuals who compromise it - sighs a Civic Coalition member. From other activists, I hear that mayors Aleksander Ferens, Rafał Miastowski, and Paweł Michalec still sit on the supervisory boards of municipal companies. The Warsaw city hall denies this: only Miastowski is on the supervisory board of GGKO - Zarządzanie Nieruchomościami sp. z o.o. 'The qualification for this position is a diploma confirming the passing of the exam for candidates for supervisory board members in State Treasury companies,' writes Marzena Gawkowska, the office's press spokesperson. However, the National Court Register indicates something different: Mayor Ferens is a member of the supervisory board of Miejskiego Przedsiębiorstwa Energetyki Cieplnej in Gostynin, and his deputy, Magdalena Wojciechowska, sits on the supervisory board of Mazowiecki Szpital Wojewódzki Drewnica. When I ask the spokesperson for clarification, she replies: 'If the mentioned individuals are on the boards of companies outside of Warsaw, then this is not a question for our office.' Paweł Michalec, on the other hand, lost his position at MPO Warszawa, but his wife, councilwoman Beata Michalec, became the director of the Museum of Literature, despite the Ministry of Culture's objection."

-- ONE BILLION ZŁOTYS WASTED. WHY DID WE LOSE POLAND'S KPO IN HEALTHCARE? - ALEKSANDER OBUCHOWSKI ON ZERO.PL: "We lost the KPO not because we lacked excellent programmers, innovative startups, or doctors open to technology. We lost it due to systemic fear of making decisions. In an effort to avoid any tender-related risk, we created a system where the greatest risk became the calendar itself. Officials secured themselves from every possible angle on paper, but forgot that at the end of this process is a physical hospital, a tired doctor, and an IT system that cannot be updated overnight. The KPO funds for e-health were meant to be a springboard for Polish innovations. Today, everything indicates that if they are spent at all before the June deadline, they will be expenditures made in panic, dictated by the calendar, not by the real needs of patients and medical staff. Through our own bureaucratic caution, a historic opportunity is slipping through our fingers."

-- WE CANNOT SPEND THE ENTIRE TERM HIDING BEHIND CZARNEK, THERE ARE CLIPS, PHOTOS, CONFERENCES. BUT THERE IS NO CONCRETE ROADMAP IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION - SAYS PAWEŁ MROZEK, LEADER OF AKCJA UCZNIOWSKA IN AN INTERVIEW WITH ALEKSANDRA CIĘŚLIK ON ZERO.PL: "What is happening today in the Ministry of Education raises one fundamental question: who is actually steering this ministry and where is it heading? Perhaps Barbara Nowacka knows the chosen direction, but she is not communicating it clearly to the community or the public. We don't know what the plan is or what the next steps will be. If this doesn't change, the ministry could sink like the Titanic. It was supposed to be about listening to young people, dialogue, and a real qualitative change. This is not visible today. We cannot spend the entire term hiding behind Czarnka, no matter how controversial he was. If serious reform doesn't start now, we will soon wake up in a situation where it's only about putting out fires. There is virtually no communication. There are clips, photos, conferences. But there is no concrete roadmap."

-- WE CANNOT FOREVER HIDE BEHIND THE PIS GOVERNMENT. THE MINISTRY HEADED BY BARBARA NOWACKA HAS FAILED - CONTINUES THE LEADER OF AKCJA UCZNIOWSKA ON ZERO.PL: "For broken promises. It was supposed to be about listening to young people and dialogue – neither is happening. Instead of real actions, there is media coverage and stagnation lasting two years. We cannot forever hide behind the PiS government. In June 2025, we gave the minister a descriptive grade: without an "A" (red stripe), because red stripes are fiction. The ministry headed by Barbara Nowacka has failed, and unfortunately, they did not attempt a summer remedial session. Reforma26 was hailed with the slogan 'Compass of Tomorrow.' Minister Nowacka claims that schools need such a compass. In our opinion, Ms. Nowacka herself needs one. Who knows, maybe in the direction of leaving the building at Al. Szucha 25 in Warsaw."

-- THE TRUE ASSESSMENT OF WHETHER THE KUL-OWSKI LAWYER WILL GIVE HIS PARTY A BOOST OF NEW ENERGY WILL BE THE POLL RESULTS IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS - PIOTR SEMKA IN DO RZECZY: "It is therefore better to move forward with new projects, hoping that the force of reminding the mistakes of PiS by both Konfederations will naturally diminish. But the true assessment of whether the KUL-owski lawyer will give his party a boost of new energy will be the poll results in the next three months. Czarnka is at a point where he faces both great opportunities and great threats. His future position in the party will depend on how he handles it. A banal observation, but it precisely defines his situation."

-- THE MAY REFERENDUM IN KRAKOW WILL BE A TEST OF WHETHER WE ARE DEALING WITH A WAVE OR A FIRECRACKER - PIOTR ZAREMBA IN INTERIA: "And nothing here is certain. Especially the great war polarizing all of Poland, currently around SAFE, might strengthen KO politicians in city seats again. Therefore, the May referendum in Krakow will be a test of whether we are dealing with a wave or a firecracker."

-- PERHAPS THERE WILL BE A STORM, AT LEAST IN POZNAŃ, WHERE JAŚKOWIAK FIRED A POPULAR DEPUTY - CONTINUES ZAREMBA: "Perhaps there will be a storm, at least in Poznań, where Mayor Jacek Jaśkowiak of KO fired his popular deputy, Mariusz Wiśniewski. And he, representing roughly the same milieu, presents this as a manifestation of the arrogance of self-important city authorities. Or in Wrocław, where Jacek Sutryk, elected with KO's support, has added reputational and legal troubles arising from his connections with Collegium Humanum to all his controversial moves, such as cronyism in personnel policy. If such a series were to occur, the right wing would present it as another sign of the decline of Tusk's milieu. And it would be partly true, since the big-city voter is beginning to prioritize interests, sometimes related to controversies around the ideological fight against cars, over political affiliations."
