-- ANDRZEJ DUDA AT MEETINGS WITH THE ARMAMENTS AGENCY AND ADVOCATING FOR WESTINGHOUSE - MACIEJ MIŁOSZ AND BARTŁOMIEJ SAWICKI IN RZ: “– They behaved like traveling salesmen – says one person familiar with the background of the matter. It is worth emphasizing that this is a highly non-standard way of presenting military equipment that the army might purchase. (...) Unexpectedly, the person who appeared in the [nuclear] negotiations was Andrzej Duda, who was said to have engaged on the American side, indicating that he could help coordinate some elements of cooperation with the Polish side. We asked Andrzej Duda, among other things, why he met with the head of the Armaments Agency, whether he cooperates with the American company Westinghouse, and whether he is involved in discussions about building a nuclear power plant in Poland. The former president replied that he was taking a media break and added that from August 2025, he would be a private individual.”

-- "OTHER INCOME" OF MINISTER SOBIERAŃSKA-GRENDA. WHY DOES SHE REFUSE TO EXPLAIN HOW SHE EARNED EXTRA MONEY? - JUDYTA WATOŁA IN GW: “Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda earned PLN 133,000 last year as Minister of Health. 'Other income earned' amounted to PLN 725,000. She assures that she earned it honestly, but how – she refuses to explain. It looks bad, especially when one wants to check the earnings of doctors by PESEL numbers. Everything is transparent, but not transparent enough to state directly and concretely how she earned those hundreds of thousands. There remains PLN 404,000 that the minister earned on the side. From university lectures? Which university pays that much? And for whom did she work as a legal advisor? She boasts that she has been involved in health management for 20 years, so she probably didn't advise on matters in another field?”

-- FROM THE PARTY AUTHORITIES WE RECEIVED A STATEMENT: "DON'T KICK A LYING MAN." WE DON'T WANT TO PUSH THEM ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY DOWN AND OUT - A POLITICIAN FROM PSL TELLS "WYBORCZA" - TOMASZ NYCZKA IN GW: “The interlocutor of "Wyborcza" points out that the ruling coalition parties have different approaches to the Southern Hospital issue – PSL is the most cautious in criticizing Civic Coalition. – From the party authorities, we received a statement: "don't kick a lying man." We don't want to push them anymore because they are already down and out – a PSL politician tells "Wyborcza". The coalition MP adds that this loyal stance of PSL "in a moment of trial" will surely be noticed by Civic Coalition. – Does Donald Tusk have anything like gratitude at all? I don't know, but the difference in PSL's attitude is certainly visible – he says.”
-- COALITION PARTNERS BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY. BUT THEY ARE UNITED BY THE BELIEF THAT "CIVIC COALITION MAY NOT RECOVER FROM THIS" - NYCZKA CONTINUES IN GW: “One of our interlocutors notes that after the scandal erupted, coalition partners are behaving differently. But they are united by the conviction that "Civic Coalition may not recover from this." – First KO, and then the entire coalition – he argues. The politician claims that "there is no point in attacking, we just need to push for KO to take some action.”

-- ANOTHER BLOW FOR KO. THE DISMISSAL OF THE "TWO TOWERS" CASE IS LIKE ZBIGNIEW ZIOBRO'S ESCAPE - MICHAŁ KOLANKO IN RZ: “The dismissal of the proceedings in Jarosław Kaczyński's "Two Towers" case has – according to our conversations – worsened the already not-so-good moods in Civic Coalition. The biggest problem is faced by the Minister of Justice, Waldemar Żurek. Previously, the problem for Minister Żurek was primarily Zbigniew Ziobro's escape to the United States. Now, the bad moods in KO are also deepened by the Southern Hospital case, which has not yet caused serious poll losses for Civic Coalition, but in the general perception of KO politicians, it has damaged the party's image. And their belief that it can win the parliamentary elections in a year – and in politics, morale and moods, which cannot be measured by polls, are as important as support ratings.”

-- IN UNITED SURVEYS FOR WP, BRAUN EQUALED CONFEDERATION - THEY BOTH HAVE 10%: https://wiadomosci.wp.pl/kluczowa-rola-konfederacji-tak-uklada-sie-sejmowa-wiekszosc-7302417068202240a
-- CONFEDERATION IS BUILDING AN IMAGE OF A NEW CENTER, PARTICULARLY SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE NEW, I.E., PROVINCIAL MIDDLE CLASS - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “Studies from Denmark, France, and Italy (and similar ones will be conducted in Poland) show that the dismantling of public services in the provinces increases support for anti-system parties – especially radical right-wing ones. In this sense, Konfederacja and Razem are currently competing for the same electorate. This indicates more of a need for change and interest in new solutions than the volatility attributed especially to young voters. Although the proposals of Sławomir Mentzen and Adrian Zandberg are diametrically different. Konfederacja and Razem, moreover, know this – the first party is building an image of a new center, particularly serving the needs of the new, i.e., provincial middle class, and the second wants to run on its own next year.”
-- THE DUOPOLY IS GONE. THE POLITICAL MOSAIC THAT WILL FORM NEXT YEAR WILL BE EVIDENCE OF THIS - FLIEGER CONTINUES IN RZ: “The ability to form coalitions will determine who forms the government in 2027. PiS does not have this ability, if Jarosław Kaczyński is to be believed (he declares that his party will not enter into a coalition with Konfederacja Korony Polskiej). In which direction will KO turn? Will this decide the shape of reforms? Or perhaps a fragmented Sejm and a minority government lie ahead of us, and consequently, temporary alliances – from vote to vote? In this sense, the duopoly is gone. The political mosaic that will form next year will be proof of this, even if the two largest parties achieve the best results in the elections.”

-- INFLATION UNDER PIS AND NOW. SZŁAPKA MANIPULATES DATA - DEMAGOG: “After reviewing the monthly consumer price indices published by GUS, it can be stated that at the end of 2023, the inflation rate was significantly lower than in December 2022 and was gradually decreasing. In September 2023, it was 8.2%, and three months later, it was already 6.2%. Therefore, the new government did not face the challenge of limiting the price growth rate from over 15% to over 5%.”
