-- HUGE BRIBE, ACQUAINTANCE WITH CASH, AND NERVES IN THE PARTY. INSIDE THE CASE OF A KO DEPUTY - KAMIL DZIUBKA ON ONE.WIADOMOŚCI: “According to the prosecutor's office, during the parliamentary campaign in 2023, the politician offered Roman M. the position of board member or even chairman of Tramwaje Śląskie (Silesian Trams). He allegedly demanded a bribe from the man for facilitating the appointment. Importantly, M. had already held a directorial position in the tram company since 2021. Król also allegedly suggested that he organize a meeting with other individuals who might pay for securing other positions, including in the Katowice branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, as well as contracts within procurements from the Silesian Waterworks Company.
Roman M. and two other men allegedly handed over a total of PLN 27,000 in cash to the KO deputy, either personally or through M., during meetings in a Katowice cafe and in Wojciech Król's office in Mysłowice. Another thread mentions a significantly larger sum. European investigators claim that the politician accepted a bribe exceeding PLN 1.4 million (EUR 330,000) in exchange for securing a PLN 27 million EU subsidy from the Silesian Marshal's Office (controlled by Civic Coalition) for the construction of the 'Stara Huta' office complex on the grounds of the former Kościuszko Steelworks in Chorzów.”

-- TUSK MUST SEE THIS THROUGH TO THE END - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZECZPOSPOLITA: “The Civic Coalition has found itself on the defensive following publications regarding the Southern Hospital. For voters sensitive to information about politicians' privileges in healthcare, not Donald Tusk's declarations but the results of the actions taken will be important. 'Donald Tusk is not good at seeing things through to the end,' a political analyst once told me when asked about the Prime Minister's political tactics. 'He has good ideas, starts many things, but many of them need to be broken down into segments and sequels later. And that is often lacking. He throws out an idea, promises a ministerial review, and then subsequent events mean he doesn't return to it.'”

-- CITY MANAGEMENT AND WARSAW KO LEADERSHIP TRYING TO SAVE THEIR SKIN, DISMISSAL OF THE MANAGEMENT OF THE WARSAW SOUTHERN HOSPITAL, OR "THE BLACKSMITH STOLE, AND THE GYPSY WAS HANGED" - JUDYTA WATOŁA IN GAZETA WYBORCZA: “If Dawid Kacprzyk, at the age of 27, without experience and specialization, became the coordinator of the Emergency Department at the Warsaw Southern Hospital and earned a fortune, it wasn't because the hospital's management had such a whim, but because he was following orders from the city hall and the party. In this way, the city management and the leadership of the Warsaw Civic Coalition are trying to save their skin. It is doubtful whether this will succeed.”

-- THE WARSAW HOSPITAL SCANDAL IS THE BIGGEST CRISIS FOR THE GOVERNMENT SINCE 2023 - ŁUKASZ SZPYRKA IN INTERIA: “All these elements mean that the Civic Coalition is facing its biggest scandal in years, which could deprive Tusk of power in 2027. And such voices are directly heard from KO politicians. Meanwhile, PiS politicians are rubbing their hands, knowing that the moment to seize political initiative is perfect. Even if Donald Tusk makes bold decisions and tries to resolve the crisis, it is by no means certain that it will not return with doubled force during the election campaign. Because the images will remain in people's minds.”

-- POWER HAS ENTERED A SHADOWY PHASE - PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ ON INTERIA: “The government has just entered a political shadowy phase (they have realized that they might actually lose power next year). And the Southern Hospital scandal is the symbolic beginning of the government's biggest image crisis since the 2023 elections.”

-- TUSK - THE ADVOCATE OF PARTY MONOPOLAR RULE - IS WELL AWARE THAT IN THE FACE OF SUCH A CRISIS, HE IS ESSENTIALLY ALONE - SZUBARTOWICZ CONTINUES: “Donald Tusk, the advocate of party monopolar rule, is well aware that in the face of such a crisis, he is essentially alone. And he will have to face the disruption of the entire healthcare system himself. Firstly, because the Minister of Health appointed by him, Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda, does not provide him with substantive support, is defensive, does not propose deep reforms, and her actions are not widely known to the public. Secondly, a costly aspect of the current situation for the government's image is the fact that the hospital scandal is most loudly being addressed by… predecessors who have not been held accountable by the current government.”

-- BĄKIEWICZ IS MAKING FOOLS OF PEOPLE - ŁUKASZ WARZECHA IN DO RZECZY: “The police did not attack him for no reason. First, the officers explained the rules in the zone colloquially known as Bannmeile and pointed out that Mr. Bąkiewicz's people could not enter there without permission, carrying a large cross that they intended to place by a boulder. Mr. Bąkiewicz decided not to comply with the police's instructions, and what happened is what would likely happen in any serious country: the police used force. They apparently used it excessively and too radically – but that is another matter.”

-- FIRST-TIER PIS POLITICIANS, LED BY PRZEMYSŁAW CZARNEK, HAVE JOINED THIS IDIOTIC NARRATIVE - WARZECHA CONTINUES IN DO RZECZY: “First-tier PiS politicians, led by Mr. Przemysław Czarnek, have joined this idiotic narrative. One might think that we should declare war on Germany any moment now. This spectacle can hardly be interpreted as anything other than an extremely desperate attempt to find anything that could somehow lift the stagnant PiS. It's a shame that in this case, it's at the expense of focusing on a genuinely important matter, namely bringing the monument to Polish victims of German occupation to completion and the construction of the Polish-German House.”
