-- BUSINESS AMONG THE DECEASED. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SOUTHERN HOSPITAL MORTUARY - PIOTR BAREJKA, PATRYK SŁOWIK, AND JAKUB STYCZYŃSKI IN PORTAL ZERO: “Funeral business was conducted in the Warsaw Southern Hospital, which is prohibited by law. The head of the mortuary promoted a funeral home belonging to his business partner from another company and obstructed the retrieval of deceased persons' bodies when families wished to use a competitor's services. He also posts graphic photos of dismembered human bodies online. We have not determined whose bodies these photographs depict. Relatives of the deceased at the Warsaw Southern Hospital are forced to collect death certificates at the mortuary. This is an extremely rare practice. The head of the mortuary, Artur Habowski, recommended the services of a specific funeral home. This business belonged to a woman with whom Habowski co-owns a company selling funeral industry equipment. The hospital mortuary was rented out for film shoots. Families of the deceased complained that they were silenced so as not to disturb the recordings. The unit's manager posts extremely graphic photos of human bodies on a social media platform. It is unknown whose bodies these are. One of our interlocutors claims they are deceased hospital patients”.

-- HE ALSO RUNS AN INSTAGRAM PROFILE. HE POSTS PHOTOS OF DISMEMBERED HUMAN BODIES THERE (INCLUDING BURNED PEOPLE, PEOPLE AFTER BEHEADING, WITH GUNSHOT WOUNDS - AUTHORS OF PORTAL ZERO CONTINUE: “Artur Habowski also runs an Instagram profile. He posts photos of dismembered human bodies there (including burned people, people after beheading, with gunshot wounds). Some of them are tagged with the hashtag ‘prosektorium’ [mortuary]. A significant portion of the material is marked by Instagram's algorithm as graphic content, accessible only after confirmation”.

-- PRESIDENT OF THE SUPREME MEDICAL CHAMBER WARNS: AUTUMN 2026 WILL SEE ARMAGEDDON IN HEALTHCARE - JAKUB CZERMIŃSKI IN RZ: “In a post, Łukasz Jankowski assessed that the government has no real proposals ‘apart from the ‘privatization+’ package,’ and that the government’s proposals ‘will lead to collapse in the autumn.’ ‘The government knows this too, so it will talk a lot, pretend it will ‘sort out the bad doctors,’ but it is in its interest to do nothing, so as not to turn out that it is not the doctors who are to blame, but the government itself’ – he continued. According to the president of the NIL, salary caps without changes in procedure valuations will, in the short term, lead to a collapse in district healthcare, increase costs, and lengthen queues because the number of procedures performed will decrease. ‘In three months, we will simply show the queues generated by the government. And let them explain, let them take responsibility, not try to shift it onto us,’ Jankowski stated. He also argued that if the government pushes through ‘etatization’ [state employment] and the abandonment of contracts, then ‘half of the districts’ will have to close down”.

-- THE SOUTHERN HOSPITAL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TRZASKOWSKI’S PRIDE AND JOY, BUT IT BROUGHT A CRISIS THAT PRACTICALLY REMOVES THE CAPITAL'S MAYOR FROM GRAND POLITICS - MAREK KĘSKRAWIEC IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: “The Southern Hospital was meant to be Rafał Trzaskowski's pride and joy, but it has brought a crisis that practically removes the capital's mayor from grand politics – especially after it was revealed how deeply Civic Platform activists have entrenched themselves in hospitals and municipal companies. The fact that the appearance of the golden boy in a Porsche Panamera in their company did not cause any displeasure speaks volumes about the ways in which party cadres are forged and their attitude towards public service.”

-- CATASTROPHE SEEMS ALMOST CERTAIN. THE PRIME MINISTER WOULD HAVE TO BECOME A GENIUS TO AVOID IT - KĘSKRAWIEC CONTINUES: “This affair will drag down the entire government and the prime minister himself, who, according to the latest CBOS surveys (before the scandal), have support similar to Civic Platform. It looks good on charts, but it's heading down the highway towards PiS's experiences from the autumn of 2023. And if we also consider the way Donald Tusk's team is trying to manage this scandal, a catastrophe seems almost certain. The Prime Minister would have to awaken a genius to be able to avoid it.”

-- MEDIA HAVE DISCOVERED SCANDALOUS GOLD AND WON'T LET GO OF CIVIC PLATFORM LOCAL GOVERNMENTS - GALOPUJĄCY MAJOR IN KRYTYKA POLITYCZNA: “What is the party supposed to do, when all local government politics consists of enormous clientelism, and local politicians feel like they are in feudal kingdoms? Suspend entire structures? In how many cities? And who will then go and campaign? The same people? Because not that many new people are rushing into local government politics.”

-- JUST AS IT WAS ONCE THE PARTY OF OCTOPUSES, IT IS NOW THE PARTY OF RICH DOCTORS AND METROPOLITAN PATHOLOGY - MAJOR CONTINUES IN KRYTYKA: “Civic Platform is currently in very deep defense and cannot defend itself or react. Just as it was once the party of octopuses, it is now the party of rich doctors and metropolitan pathology. And looking at how the media are devouring this topic, especially during the quiet season, it may turn out that soon Wrocław, Poznań, and several other cities will come under mainstream scrutiny. And we will learn even more. And this could be truly fatal for Civic Platform.”

-- ANOTHER HOSPITAL DOMINATED BY CIVIC PLATFORM - WPOLITYCE: “Warsaw Southern Hospital is not the only example of a medical facility dominated by Civic Platform politicians. PiS MP Przemysław Drabek, in an interview with wPolityce.pl, speaks of a dense network of political and social connections in the Beskid Cancer Center, a municipal hospital in Bielsko-Biała. Here appears Civic Platform Senator Agnieszka Gorgoń-Komor, her husband, a councilor and chief physician of this hospital, and actions during the 2023 election campaign. ‘I have the impression that this hospital is being used as a private campaign tool for Civic Platform,’ says our interlocutor. Senator Gorgoń-Komor visited the Southern Hospital as recently as April this year.”

-- ZELENSKYY MAY SHOOT HIMSELF IN THE FOOT. THE CULT OF NATIONALISM DISTANCES UKRAINE FROM THE WEST - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “The problem is that this is a serious mistake not only in relations with Poland – much has already been written on this topic. Because the cult of the UPA may be a problem not only for Poland. This was evident in some Western media comments. For instance, ‘Le Monde’ and France 24 drew attention to the controversies related to the murder of not only Poles but also Jews by Ukrainian nationalists. The German FAZ, in turn, wrote about the moral ambiguity of the heroes honored by Zelenskyy.”

-- PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY'S MOVES DRASTICALLY NARROW THE ROOM FOR MANEUVER FOR ALL POLISH POLITICAL ELITES, NOT JUST THE RIGHT-WING ONES, WHERE THE ELECTORATE IS PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE TO HISTORICAL MATTERS, BUT ALSO FOR THE LIBERAL-LEFT ONES - ŁUKASZ ADAMSKI, DIRECTOR OF THE JULIUSZ MIEROSZEWSKI CENTER FOR DIALOGUE IN AN INTERVIEW WITH INTERIA: “Certainly, objectively, Zelenskyy's actions towards Poland are short-sighted, as they are based on precarious calculations regarding Poland, and therefore dangerous for Ukraine itself. Regarding Polish-Ukrainian relations, President Zelenskyy's moves drastically narrow the room for maneuver for all Polish political elites, not only the right-wing ones, where the electorate is particularly sensitive to historical matters, but also for the liberal-left ones. This could lead to a cross-party consensus in Poland regarding the need to condition Ukraine's membership in the EU on a correction of Ukraine's memory policy.”

-- CROATIA, TO BE ABLE TO ASPIRE TO EUROPEAN STRUCTURES, HAD TO REVISE THE CULT OF THE USTASHE, RESPONSIBLE FOR GENOCIDE - CONTINUES IN INTERIA: “Such a step would be a violation of the general European consensus, which rejects the glorification of formations responsible for mass crimes against civilians and for cooperation with Hitler – and that is what we are talking about in the case of the UPA. Let me give the example of Croatia. To be able to aspire to European structures, it had to revise the cult of the Ustashe, responsible for the genocide of Serbs during World War II. Moreover, the European Parliament already condemned the glorification of Bandera in 2010.”

-- IT WILL BE CONVENIENT FOR UKRAINE TO PORTRAY POLAND AS BLOCKING UKRAINE'S ACCESSION TO THE EU, ALLEGEDLY DUE TO DISPUTES OVER HISTORY - WOJCIECH KONOŃCZUK IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: “Kyiv is commencing extremely difficult accession negotiations with the European Union, which will take considerably longer than Zelenskyy is promising his own society. They do not necessarily have to end successfully, and the reluctance to implement many reforms remains strong in Kyiv. In this situation, it will be convenient for Ukraine to portray Poland as blocking Ukraine's accession to the EU, allegedly due to disputes over history.”

At that time, 48.1% expressed satisfaction with Karol Nawrocki's presidency.”
