-- WE CAN ONLY SPEAK OF A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN RATINGS FOR MARSZALEK CZARZASTY - CBOS IN A COMMUNIQUE: "In March, none of the politicians included in the survey gained significantly in the respondents' assessment. We can only speak of a slight improvement in ratings for the Marshal of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty."
-- A VETO FOR THE SAFE LOAN IN TUSK'S GOVERNMENT'S VERSION DID NOT HARM THE PRESIDENT: "President Karol Nawrocki continues to gather the most trust votes (52% of declared trust), while more than every third respondent does not trust him (35%)."

-- DONALD TUSK'S COSTLY MISTAKE REGARDING THE MATERNITY WARD IN LESKO - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: "Whether we like it or not, and even though it's madness, the campaign has already begun – a year and a half before the elections. Therefore, Prime Minister Donald Tusk's statement about women wanting to be within 500 meters of a maternity ward carries as much weight as any campaign blunder. The issue of maternity wards and everything they symbolize will become increasingly important."
-- KONFEDERACJA IS BECOMING THE NEW CENTER BY ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS OF NON-METROPOLITAN POLAND RESIDENTS - FLIEGER FURTHER IN RZ: "PiS wanted to bypass Konfederacja from the right, but firstly, it may not succeed, and secondly, it is Konfederacja that is becoming the new center, in the sense that it addresses the problems of non-metropolitan Poland residents. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Donald Tusk may soon become the face of the rollback of public services in these areas."

-- IF IN A YEAR'S TIME PIS DOES NOT REACH AT LEAST 35% IN THE POLLS, IT MAY SUDDENLY TURN OUT THAT CZARNEK IS MOVED TO RESERVE - RAFAŁ KALUKIN IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: "Today, he is at best the informal leader of the party's vanguard, which is supposed to realize his camp's claims to a leading position in the upcoming reshuffle. It is said that the party headquarters has set very specific goals for him, for which he will be held accountable in due time. And if in a year's time PiS does not reach at least 35% in the polls, it may suddenly turn out that Czarnek is moved to the reserve to make room for a candidate in a freshly ironed shirt."
-- IT IS PRIMARILY BRAUN'S FORMATION THAT IS FIRST ON PIS'S CROSSHAIRS - KALUKIN FURTHER: "It is primarily Braun's formation that is first on PiS's crosshairs, for several reasons. It is to this group that the most PiS voters have migrated recently, which gives hope that they haven't quite settled there yet. But Korona is also a peculiar and chaotic movement, making it seem easier to manage than the better-organized Konfederacja. Finally, it is no secret that the Americans are pressuring PiS to deal with Braun, as his antisemitism is unacceptable overseas."
-- IF HE STUMBLES, A GREAT OPPORTUNITY MAY BE LOST FOREVER - KALUKIN'S CONCLUSION IN TYGODNIK POLITYKA: "By backing Czarnek, they risk even more, as for the first time, the choice has fallen on a truly independent politician who is also popular within the party. Therefore, if Czarnek successfully reaches the finish line in the upcoming obstacle course, he will become not only a real candidate for prime minister but also, likely, for the succession of right-wing rule. But if he stumbles, a great opportunity may be lost forever. After all, someone more ruthless and radical will always be found."

-- HOW THE DEPUTY MAYORS OF ŁÓDŹ SHIRKED THE ISSUE OF BONUSES - PIOTR BRZÓZKA IN GW: "I probably received some bonus. I don't remember, I don't know, I'm not familiar with the topic at all (...). I don't have a need for money, no great interest in it," said Tomasz Piotrowski, deputy mayor, to Radio Łódź, who seemed to overlook the fact that almost PLN 50,000 had been deposited into his account. Deputy Mayor Adam Pustelnik, who pocketed almost PLN 35,000, said: "For me, every day of work with Mayor Hanna Zdanowska is a reward."
