-- WILL THE PORT POLSKA PLAN FALL APART? THE CHOPIN AIRPORT RENOVATION HAS STILL NOT STARTED - ERYK KIELAK IN GW: “The modernization of Chopin Airport in Warsaw is not going according to plan. The delay in completing the works is becoming increasingly real, which undermines the sense of the entire undertaking and affects the Port Polska plan. The plan is starting to fall apart because the modernization of the Warsaw airport is facing further delays. As we have managed to ascertain, Chopin Airport is delayed even in carrying out smaller modernization works.”

-- "NO ONE WILL DICTATE TO UKRAINIANS WHICH HEROES TO HONOR." ZELENSKY HAS MADE A MOVE - RZ: “– No one and never will dictate to us how to live, how to speak, whom to love, to whom to be grateful, and which heroes to respect – Zelensky stated on Sunday, during the celebration of Ukraine's Constitution Day.”

-- IF UKRAINIAN ELITES TRULY BELIEVE THAT MODERN PATRIOTISM CAN BE BUILT ON THE CULT OF UPA, THEN IT IS ANOTHER SIGN THAT SOMETHING TROUBLING IS HAPPENING IN UKRAINE - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “One of the Polish experts recounted his conversation with his Ukrainian counterparts, who tried to convince him that Poles, by wanting to ban the cult of UPA, wish to strip Ukrainian soldiers of the symbols under which they are fighting Russia and deprive them of their pride and national identity. If Ukrainian elites truly believe that modern patriotism can be built on the cult of UPA, then it is another sign that something troubling is happening in Ukraine.”

-- IF THE FIRST REACTION TO SUCH ACCUSATIONS IS TO DESTROY THE WHISTLEBLOWER, OTHERS MAY SIMPLY REMAIN SILENT NEXT TIME - KATARZYNA SKRZYDŁOWSKA-KALUKIN IN KULTURA LIBERALNA: “It is not yet known whether Emil Jędrzejewski is telling the whole truth. But his credibility is not the most important thing today. The most important thing is to establish whether situations endangering patients' lives actually occurred in the emergency room of Szpital Południowy. Because if the first reaction to such accusations is to destroy the whistleblower, others may simply remain silent next time.”

-- IF HUMAN HEALTH AND LIFE, AS WELL AS THE COMMON GOOD, ARE AT STAKE, THE REASONS WHY SOMEONE REVEALS THESE CAUSES ARE SECONDARY. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO STOP DANGEROUS ACTIONS - SKRZYDŁOWSKA-KALUKIN FURTHER IN KULTURA LIBERALNA: “The whistleblower's motivations should not determine whether their allegations are investigated. If human health and life, as well as the common good, are at stake, the reasons why someone reveals these causes are secondary. The most important thing is to stop dangerous actions. Emil Jędrzejewski's story, who worked at Szpital Południowy at the same time as Dawid Kacprzyk, sounds shocking. Either incredible – due to the suspicion of seeking revenge. Or due to potential political motivations.”

-- WARSAW'S PO HAS LOST ITS SHACKLES. IT'S A TREASURE TROVE OF SCANDALS - ANDRZEJ STANKIEWICZ IN NEWSWEEK: “The people of Warsaw's Civic Platform have an eldorado because they don't need to campaign for voters. In Poland's most liberal city, they are guaranteed victories in all elections. This has led to all restraints being lost in the Warsaw structures of PO.”

-- RAFAŁ TRZASKOWSKI WAS AN ASSET, NOW HE IS BECOMING A VISUAL BURDEN FOR KO - BOGUSŁAW CHRABOTA IN RZ: “The Szpital Południowy scandal has damaged the image of Warsaw's Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski. The loyal electorate is furious. The mayor has a month to salvage the situation. If he fails to do so in the interest of the coalition, he should disappear. To fall this badly, one must truly try. Or… do nothing. Because – I ask myself – what has Rafał Trzaskowski done in the last year. What has he become known for? What has he shone with? Where has he appeared? There hasn't been much of it. If at all. That is why the hospital scandal has cast such a terrible shadow over him. For a weak politician, this could be a knockout blow. One needs strength to get up. And motivation to fight. If Trzaskowski does not prove he can do this in the near future, the Coalition should detach the wagon with his name. Because if it doesn't, the wagon will drag it into a hellish abyss.”

-- I FEEL A CLIMATE SIMILAR TO 2014 DURING THE WIRETAPPING SCANDAL - SAID KAMIL DZIUBKA IN THE "STAN WYJĄTKOWY" PODCAST: “For a long time, power is unharmed by anything. But there comes a moment when everything starts to harm it. And I don't know if this isn't that moment. I feel a climate similar to 2014 during the wiretapping scandal – said Kamil Dziubka in the podcast "Stan Wyjątkowy.”

-- COMPROMISING FACTS FOR THE GOVERNMENT ARE NO LONGER COMING FROM "RIGHT-WING" MEDIA, DISCREDITED BY THE RULERS IN THE EYES OF THEIR ELECTORATE AS "PIS RADIO NODES," BUT ALSO FROM THE ZERO CHANNEL AND PORTAL, WIRTUALNA POLSKA, "RZECZPOSPOLITA"... - RAFAŁ ZIEMKIEWICZ IN DO RZECZY: “Even minor issues that would have gone unnoticed in a different atmosphere – like a gastroscopy without waiting for a previously unknown MP Małgorzata Pępek or a son of MEP Marta Wcisło parking in a disabled spot, along with her absurd comment that although the son is not authorized, he also had surgery once – are now being picked up as further confirmation of the emerging opinion that the government is ripe for change. Media, previously friendly or indifferent to abuses of power, sense that joining this trend promises greater reach. This risks the scandal escaping the propaganda "bubble." Compromising facts for the government – this applies not only to the Szpital Południowy and Kacprzyk case – are no longer coming from "right-wing" media, discredited by the rulers in the eyes of their electorate as "Pis radio nodes," but also from the Zero channel and portal, Wirtualna Polska, "Rzeczpospolita"... Of course, the odium of "Pis-ness" can be extended to further media outlets and individuals, but previous attempts to label Stanowski as "one of the Pis people" had the opposite effect – let alone when propaganda from a government in clear panic attaches such labels to avoid answering questions it clearly cannot answer.”

-- ACCORDING TO SOURCES IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE, THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING LITTLE REGARDING A PERMANENT BASE, AND EVEN THE AMERICANS HAVE NOTICED THIS - JACEK GĄDEK IN NEWSWEEK: “One can make history this way: by leading to the creation of a permanent US military base in Poland, the infamous Fort Trump. A fierce dispute is ongoing between Karol Nawrocki and the government over who will be the father of this success. However, according to sources in the Presidential Palace, the government is doing little in this matter, and even the Americans have noticed it.

-- IN THE PALACE, THEY WARN THAT IF THE GOVERNMENT WISHES TO STEAL THE PATERNITY OF FORT TRUMP, THEY WILL "CRUSH THE GOVERNMENT LIKE A WORM." - IF KOSINIAK STEALS FORT TRUMP, HE WON'T ENTER THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN - SAYS A PERSON FROM THE PRESIDENT'S CIRCLE - GĄDEK FURTHER IN NEWSWEEK: “If necessary, we will crush Kosiniak-Kamysz and this entire government like a worm – says an important politician from President Nawrocki's circle. The Presidential Palace has made relations with the US President the most important element of its foreign policy. And Fort Trump is Nawrocki's number one goal. The Palace does not want Donald Tusk's government to record this as its success. A politician from the palace circle: – The talks are very advanced. Little remains to be finalized for Fort Trump. A person familiar with the behind-the-scenes of the talks: – The Pentagon and the Department of War are not enthusiastic about a base in Poland. It's Trump who wants it. Signals from the government and the palace are that a permanent base in Poland is practically a certainty and a matter of time. The decision on its location and appearance may be made within a few weeks, maybe months.”

-- WE SEE THE NORMALIZATION OF THE FAR-RIGHT NOT ONLY IN FRANCE BUT ALSO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN ITALY. THE FRENCH RIGHT IS NOT YET IN POWER, BUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS IT HAS BEEN UNDERGOING A PROCESS OF DE-DAEMONIZATION OF ITS IMAGE - PROF. KAROLINA BOROŃSKA-HRYNIEWIECKA IN AN INTERVIEW WITH ANNA WÓJCIK IN OKO.PRESS: “For years, the concept of a sanitary cordon – the conviction that one should not cooperate with the far-right – strongly resonated in the French debate. Today, however, it is evident that this mechanism has stopped working in many areas, and the far-right has effectively become the mainstream right. Against the backdrop of social frustration and the feeling that the country is heading towards collapse, Rassemblement National appears to many voters as a force of order and stability. It is no longer a party solely for the 'losers of globalization,' desperate people angry at the status quo. Today, it has over 50 percent support among the working classes, about 30 percent among the middle class, and even about 20 percent among the upper classes. It has become a much more broadly supported party. Why? Because Macronism has failed – at least according to polls and public opinion research. We see the normalization of the far-right not only in France but also, for example, in Italy. The French right is not yet in power, but for several years it has been undergoing a process of de-demonizing its image. It works very consciously on its communication, avoiding radical formulations that could alienate a large part of the electorate. Against the backdrop of extremes – left and right – Bardella fares very well, especially when compared to Mélenchon, who often uses slogans that alienate potential left-wing voters.”

-- THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY OF THE AFD OPENS THE WAY TO THE CREATION OF GERMANY IN THE CENTER OF EUROPE WITH A POTENTIAL FOR POLITICAL AND NATIONAL AGGRESSION WELL-KNOWN FROM THE PAST - MAREK A. CICHOCKI IN RZ: “Therefore, the AfD is not an opposition party whose goal is to implement political reforms, but a reactionary identity movement. In view of its upcoming electoral successes, the pressure to ban this party is increasingly returning in Germany. However, it seems that there is no good way out of the situation. Banning a party with such significant public support calls into question the meaning of democracy in Europe. On the other hand, its democratic victory opens the way to the creation of Germany in the center of Europe with a potential for political and national aggression well-known from the past.”
