-- RUSSIAN TROPPES AROUND PRZEMYSŁAW KRAL'S STOCK EXCHANGE - SZYMON JADCZAK ON MONEY.PL: “A Swiss law firm serving Russian fortunes. A bank through which money linked to a major corruption scandal in Russia flowed in February 2026. A Georgian shareholder of a Moscow bank where 30 billion rubles were embezzled. These are just some of the Russian traces in the orbit of Zondacrypto that we found in publicly available sources.”

-- WHAT WAS ABW WAITING FOR? - SZYMON JADCZAK: “Since ABW is already on Twitter, perhaps you can answer us, how is it possible that all these connections were overlooked and nothing was done for so many years? P.S. There is another well-known public institution in whose case ABW also has collected material on Russian connections and is also doing nothing about it. Are they waiting for the election campaign? Or for a war?”

-- RUSSIAN TRACE IN THE ZONDACRYPTO AFFAIR. SERVICES POINT TO THE TAMBOWSKI MAFIA - WOJCIECH CZUCHNOWSKI IN GW: “An ABW memo contains information that Russians took over the majority stake in the exchange in July 2018. Zondacrytpo was then called BitBay and after initial successes, it experienced a serious collapse. That's when the Tambowskis came to the rescue, acting through a Polish intermediary. Mateusz Bajer, one of the co-founders of the company, sold his majority stake. Officially, it was acquired by three entities registered in the United Arab Emirates by Sylwester Suszek, the other founder of BitBay. But the Tambowskis' money was behind it all.”

-- RECORD STATE EXPENDITURES. POLAND HAS SURPASSED GERMANY AND SWEDEN - ANNA CIEŚLAK-WRÓBLEWSKA IN RZ: “Public spending has crossed the symbolic threshold of 50% of GDP in Poland, and behind this lies a huge deficit and skyrocketing state debt. Economists have no doubts: if we don't change course, we will hit a wall.”

-- THE OPENING OF THE SATURDAY DEBATE LOOKED AS IF MATEUSZ MORAWIECKI, NOT PRZEMYSŁAW CZARNEK, WAS THE CANDIDATE FOR HEAD OF GOVERNMENT - JAKUB MAJMUREK IN NEWSWEEK: “Judging by the conference, this reconciliation took place exceptionally on Morawiecki's terms. The former prime minister not only spoke before Czarniek but also set the tone for all speeches. President Kaczyński also spoke in a Morawiecki-like manner. He did not scare with Germany, trans people, he didn't even mention Tusk, instead, he spoke about ambitious, developmental goals, including Poland's involvement in the next industrial revolution based on the use of artificial intelligence. Although at the same time, in his style, the president stated that unleashing the potential for development requires “rebuilding the system” and “eliminating from public life” those who “do not respect any rules.” Morawiecki delivered a very ambitious speech, posing the question about the shape of optimal economic policy for Poland in an era when the old model of globalization is fading and is being replaced by a reality based on new mercantilism, great power rivalry, and the growing industrial power of China.”

-- AMBIGUITY WEIGHED ON HIS POLITICAL CAREER, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE TRIED TO POSITION HIMSELF AS A CANDIDATE OF THE MODERATE CENTER-RIGHT - WITOLD GADOMSKI IN GW ON ANDRZEJ OLECHOWSKI: “He cooperated with economic intelligence at that time. He did not shy away from this topic, but explained it through his own understanding of statehood. He said he was critical of the Polish People's Republic, but it was then the only existing Polish state. For some, this was a rational explanation, for others, proof of opportunism. This ambiguity weighed on his political career, especially when he tried to position himself as a candidate of the moderate center-right. He said he learned economics in Geneva. He knew languages, understood international finance mechanisms, and knew how to talk to foreign partners. This made him one of those people that the state greatly needed.”

-- HE WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WITHOUT WHOM IT IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE POLISH TRANSFORMATION – ITS AMBITIONS, COMPROMISES, ACCELERATIONS, AND FISSURES - GADOMSKI FURTHER ON OLECHOWSKI: “However, he remained a valuable and interesting commentator on political and economic events. He was one of the people without whom it is difficult to describe Polish transformation – its ambitions, compromises, accelerations, and fissures.”
