-- COMPANIES ARE STILL TIGHTENING THEIR BELTS AND CUTTING EMPLOYMENT - ANITA BŁASZCZAK IN RZ: “The first two months of 2026 saw a double-digit increase in the number of unemployed dismissed due to employer-related reasons. Group layoffs are also continuing. In January and February, a total of 81.4 thousand people registered with labor offices who lost their employment as a result of layoffs conducted by employers. This is almost 12% more than a year earlier, with the number of these registrations in February (41,000) being the highest in over four years – according to the latest GUS data. According to them, after January, which was much calmer than the previous year, February brought a renewed annual increase in the scale of group layoffs. 31 employers announced cuts that are to affect nearly 5.3 thousand people, more than double those reported in February last year.”

-- WILL THE PRESIDENT ACCEPT OATHS FROM 2 CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL JUDGES? LEŚKIEWICZ: LET'S WAIT, BOGUCKI WILL HOLD A CONFERENCE - 300LIVE:
https://300polityka.pl/pl/live/2026-04-01/

-- AS EWA SIEDLECKA REMINDED IN „POLITYKA” – THE ELECTION OF A TRIBUNAL JUDGE ACCORDING TO LAW SHOULD TAKE PLACE SO THAT THE SUCCESSOR OF THE DEPARTING JUDGE CAN BE SWORN IN AT THE MOMENT THE PREDECESSOR'S TERM ENDS - MICHAŁ DANIELEWSKI ON THE WEEKLY POLITYKA PORTAL: “What is it about? Three seats (after Julia Przyłębska, Mariusz Muszyński, and Piotr Pszczółkowski) have been vacant since December 2024, and the 'youngest' – after Krystyna Pawłowicz and Marcin Warciński – since December 2025. Meanwhile – as Ewa Siedlecka reminded in ‘Polityka’ – the election of a Tribunal judge according to the law should take place so that the successor of the departing judge can be sworn in at the moment the predecessor's term ends.”

-- NAWROCKI DECIDED TO ENGAGE IN POLITICAL GAMES WITH THE PARLIAMENTARY MAJORITY. BY ACCEPTING OATHS FROM TWO JUDGES, HE WILL LIKELY ARGUE THAT HE RECOGNIZES THE FILLING OF VACANCIES EXISTING SINCE DECEMBER 2025, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY QUESTIONING THE FILLING OF THE OTHERS - DANIELEWSKI CONTINUES: “The information provided by TVN's 'Fakty' may mean that Nawrocki has decided to engage in political games with the parliamentary majority. By accepting oaths from two judges, he will likely argue that he recognizes the filling of vacancies existing since December 2025, while simultaneously questioning the filling of the others. However, such an argument would have a significant procedural flaw, as it is unknown on what basis the president would choose which judges to accept oaths from and which not – as the Sejm resolutions regarding the election of new judges do not specify which outgoing judges they are replacing.”

-- INSTEAD OF LIMITING FUEL DEMAND AND PREPARING FOR TRULY DIFFICULT TIMES, THE PRIME MINISTER IS PLAYING TO THE CROWD, IN THE BEST PIS STYLE - LESZEK JAŻDŻEWSKI ON INTERIA: “Donald Tusk's plan is simple: let people not complain at the Easter breakfast that the government is doing nothing. Instead of limiting fuel demand and preparing for truly difficult times, the prime minister is playing to the crowd, in the best PiS style. Unfortunately, the government's energy policy also distances us from energy independence. Instead of speaking with our own strong voice on energy matters, KO is imitating PiS's policy, without comparable resources, with significantly higher debt and deficit, and with dangerous prospects for the near future. May this year's Easter breakfast not taste like burnt gasoline.”

-- THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PRESERVE TOOLS FOR TRULY DIFFICULT TIMES INSTEAD OF EXPENDING ALL ITS AMMUNITION AT THE BEGINNING - JAŻDŻEWSKI CONTINUES: “Prices will rise anyway if the price of a barrel of oil on world markets goes up. The budget deficit is record-high. The prospects for a quick return to relative normality in the fuel market are uncertain. The government should preserve tools for truly difficult times instead of expending all its ammunition at the beginning.”

-- MAXIMUM FUEL PRICES. THE HUNGARIANS TRIED AND FAILED. WE WILL END UP THE SAME - YMON GRABOWSKI ON THE ZERO PORTAL: “Drivers will likely be pleased, but the problem is that maximum fuel prices have far-reaching, negative consequences from which we will likely not be protected. We are repeating the Hungarian scenario, at least many indications point to this. If you lose money on every liter sold, then not selling is more economically justified than selling. But don't worry, the Hungarians also learned nothing from their 2021 failure and are now also planning to introduce regulated prices at a level below PLN 7 per liter (approx. PLN 6.75 per liter for diesel fuel). This already seems completely unrealistic – perhaps the level of PLN 7.60 per liter planned in Poland will allow gas stations to survive, but I see black for Hungary. But they probably got used to it.”

-- A FACTION HAS APPEARED IN THE POLISH PEOPLE'S PARTY THAT WOULD LIKE TO RUN TOGETHER WITH THE FORMER PRIME MINISTER IN NEXT YEAR'S ELECTIONS - ARKADIUSZ GRUSZCZYŃSKI AND KRYSTYNA NASZKOWSKA IN GW: “Several factions are clashing within the party, each seeing the party's future differently. One of them is urging the leadership to run jointly with Mateusz Morawiecki's theoretical grouping. And the politicians will meet today for a joint debate in Jasionka. It is said that the party is considering commissioning public opinion research on whether a coalition of the People's Party with Morawiecki would have political viability. However, Miłosz Motyka, the Minister of Energy from PSL, denies these rumors.”

-- A GLITCH IN THE COALITION. THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER'S INITIATIVE FOR AN AMENDMENT - KAMIL DZIUBKA ON ONET: “One thing is certain: the PSL counted on their coalition partners – especially the largest one, Civic Coalition (KO) – to look favorably upon their idea. They even hoped that the project would be included in the agenda of last week's Sejm session. However, this did not happen, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk made it quite clear that he saw no point in working on this idea. - Władek [Kosiniak-Kamysz] was surprised that Tusk so quickly and sharply criticized our initiative. He did not expect such a reaction – we hear from PSL.”

-- BESIDES LARGE CITIES, HE ALSO WANTS TO VISIT SMALLER ONES. THE REASON IS SIMPLE - THIS IS WHERE CONFEDERACY WANTS TO CATCH VOTERS TODAY - KAMILA BARANOWSKA ON INTERIA: “- Konfederacja realized that Czarnek could pose a real threat to them and stop the flows between PiS and Konfederacja, and that PiS has also started working among the young. A more intense game for right-wing voters is beginning. I have no doubt that we will win it – declares a prominent PiS MP in a conversation with Interia. Łukasz Pawłowski from the Nationwide Research Group points out that the district voters attracted by Konfederacja are largely former voters of the Third Way who left PiS much earlier, and regaining them may be difficult.”

-- THE DAY UNIT AT GROTTGERA STREET IS CLOSING DOWN. PATIENTS' VOICES CEASE TO MATTER - SŁAWOMIR ZAGÓRSKI ON OKO.PRESS: “March 31, 2026, is the last day of operation for the Mokotów Day Unit, where people in psychological crisis were treated. Less than 2 years ago, after numerous protests and interventions by Izabela Leszczyna, the unit was saved. The current decision came as a surprise.”
