-- A NEW TELEVISION STATION, NEWSMAX POLSKA, IS LAUNCHING. "America has long understood that a free Europe is essential for a free world. Nowhere is the spirit of freedom stronger today than here, in Poland," said Newsmax creator and owner Christopher Ruddy. "We have the most modern studio in Europe - and I'm not saying that because I saw it being built, but because I was recently in Belgrade and have a comparison. They have worse," said Wojciech Surmacz.

-- DUDA FEELS HE IS ESSENTIALLY UNNECESSARY TO ANYONE - KAMIL DZIUBKA ON ONE+: "According to our sources, Andrzej Duda's reaction, however, shows a broader problem that the former president is facing. - Andrzej is frustrated with his position - one of his acquaintances tells us, explaining: - He supported Karol Nawrocki and was happy about his victory, but at the same time it became his curse. If Nawrocki had lost, Andrzej would have been the only living former president from PiS who had also served two terms. People would have had sentiment for him and would have reminisced about his decade with longing. And so he feels that he is essentially unnecessary to anyone - we hear."

-- THE MOBILIZATION OF THE POLITICAL AND JOURNALISTIC RIGHT OBSERVED DURING THE REFERENDUM WILL RETURN IN 2027 IN TURBO VERSION - PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ ON INTERIA: "Aleksander Miszalski's defeat in Krakow does not necessarily have to cause a wave and boost PiS. That will only be decided by the outcome of new mayoral elections. But the ruling coalition has other worries. The mobilization of the political and journalistic right observed during the referendum will return in 2027 in turbo version. And "liberal Poland" is increasingly choosing internal emigration."

-- THEY ARE CHECKING IF THE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR ARTISTS DESIGNED BY THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANTI-ELITIST HUNT FOR "FREE LOADERS OF ART" - SZUBARTOWICZ FURTHER ON THE RIGHT'S MANEUVERS: "Kaczyński's formation is exploring various possibilities to regain increasingly uncertain support. Party specialists in information management and propaganda are checking if Poles will be sensitive to an exaggerated story about "elites who despise the people," dressing these elites in the faces of famous actors or recognizable sociologists. They are considering whether provocations forcing the services to take action against people from the right-wing opposition, including the president, can be used against the government. They are also checking if the support system for artists designed by the Ministry of Culture can be transformed into an anti-elitist hunt for "free loaders of art." They are also examining the chances of turning the downfall of Aleksander Miszalski's presidency in Krakow into an anti-government wave that will sweep away other city mayors."

-- ON THE GOVERNMENT'S SIDE, THE BELIEF IN A LACK OF EFFECTIVENESS, WASTED OPPORTUNITIES IS STRENGTHENING - FURTHER SZUBARTOWICZ ON INTERIA: "Meanwhile, on the government's side, the conviction of a lack of effectiveness, wasted opportunities, and an incompletely learned lesson from the triumph of populism in the Western world is strengthening. Even if society is split in half, in the half supporting the government, there is stagnation, and internal emigration is happening more and more often."

-- IN THE NEXT CAMPAIGN, KO WILL SCARE WITH PIŁSUDSKI - MARCIN FIJOŁEK ON INTERIA'S POLITICAL WF: "- KO will want to frame these elections: "Okay, maybe Aleksander Miszalski failed, we underestimated the opposition and the voters' anger, but we cannot allow PiS, the right-wing, to take back such a large city as the capital of Lesser Poland" - assessed Marcin Fijołek, host of "Graffiti" on Polsat News, in "Polityczny WF"."

-- SOBKOWIAK AND KRAKÓW SHOW THE PROBLEM KO HAS WITH CADRES - PIOTR WITWICKI: "- Donald Tusk, looking for a campaign face for 2027, will turn to Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka, associated with PSL. This indirectly testifies to what this formation looked like in terms of promotions and whom it has nurtured... Krakow exposes KO's structural problem with promotions for young people, their development - he added."

-- MAJCHROWSKI INDEBTED THE CITY TO INVEST, AND THIS WAS NOTICEABLE, WHILE ALEKSANDER MISZALSKI DID SO TO EMPLOY EVEN MORE PEOPLE - FURTHER WITWICKI: "In "Polityczny WF," Piotr Witwicki also compared the purpose for which the two last mayors indebted the Lesser Poland metropolis. - There is one absolutely fundamental difference. Jacek Majchrowski indebted the city to invest, and this was noticeable, while Aleksander Miszalski did so to employ even more people. He effectively created an alternative structure in the City Hall to have a place to employ his Civic Platform colleagues - he stated."

-- THE CONFLICT WITH THE PRESIDENT REINFORCES THE STEREOTYPE OF THE RIGHT AS ETERNALLY QUARRELSOME, SELF-HURTING, ANARCHIC; YOU ARE PREPARING YOURSELVES, ONCE AGAIN, FOR YOUR DEFEAT - PIOTR ZAREMBA ON INTERIA: "The conflict with the president reinforces the stereotype of the right as eternally quarrelsome, self-hurting, anarchic. Not only is Konfederacja fighting with PiS and vice versa, not only is PiS itself close to collapse, but this too. Characteristic: Mateusz Morawiecki supported the president's decision, again against Kaczyński. If you think you are creating a convenient image for yourselves for the upcoming elections, you are mistaken. You are preparing yourselves, once again, for your defeat. Despite all external circumstances, because Tusk's government governs poorly and there is no sign of improvement in this regard. You are helping it yourselves. Sometimes the leader of the main opposition party does it."

-- FERTILITY CLINICS CLAIM THAT THE ALGORITHM ON WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS UNDER THE STATE IN VITRO PROGRAM IS BASED IS OPAQUE - ŁUKASZ SZPYRKA ON INTERIA: "Several fertility clinics are outraged and accuse the Ministry of Health of a lack of transparency. In their opinion, some entities are favored or preferred by officials, which disrupts economic freedom and liberty. In other words: most of the funds go to selected clinics based on unclear algorithms. Out of PLN 600 million allocated to the program in 2025, about PLN 10 million was not used. So the clinics are asking where the PLN 10 million went? Their questions remain unanswered for now. As we hear, more entities are in a similar situation, and according to this side of the dispute, the Ministry of Health looks favorably upon a few selected facilities."
