-- BRYLKA: I SEE NO PROGRAMMATIC AREA WHERE COOPERATION WITH KO WOULD BE POSSIBLE, BUT NEITHER WITH PIS – 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/pl/live/2026-07-16

-- THAT'S IN THE PAST – THAT'S HOW TUSK WAS TO ANNOUNCE THE END OF AN ERA WHERE PIS WAS THE MAIN REFERENCE POINT – ANDRZEJ STANKIEWICZ ON ONE.PL: “The Prime Minister spoke a lot about the right-wing opposition. In his opinion, the time when PiS was the main political opponent for KO is now in the past. The Prime Minister believes that a 'passing of the torch' has occurred on the right – Mentzen's Confederation and Braun's Korona together have greater support than PiS. According to Tusk, this is a lasting trend and support for PiS will continue to shrink. In his view, this presents a completely new challenge – KO must be ready for political combat with radical formations. Tusk emphasized that the president will favor them. In his opinion, radical right-wing formations are now more important to the president than PiS.”

-- TUSK WON'T FIRE PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ FROM THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT WOULD RISK EARLIER ELECTIONS – STANKIEWICZ CONTINUES: “Tusk praised PSL for their loyalty and did not hide his satisfaction that Lewica is consistently achieving results above the election threshold. On the other hand, he considered the leader of Polska 2050, Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, disloyal, but suggested he would not remove her from the government. The reason – Pełczyńska-Nałęcz could lead several to a dozen or so MPs out of the coalition, and the government would lose its majority in the Sejm. Tusk made it clear that he cannot risk early elections because it threatens defeat.”

-- TUSK DID NOT ADDRESS CZARNEK AT ALL – TOMASZ NYCZKA IN GW: “– It was emphasized that we must react to this. We cannot allow hatred to spread. We also talked a bit about PiS, but I have the impression that they are not as great a threat to us as Konfederacja and Braun. People want to listen to this, and we have to respond to it. That's more or less what the Prime Minister said – explains a politician. Another MP adds: – Tusk probably doesn't take Czarnka seriously, because there was little about him.”

-- WE HAD A GOOD MEETING JUST BEFORE THE SUMMIT, WHILE WAITING FOR THE ARRIVAL OF PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP – WŁADYSŁAW KOSINIAK-KAMYSZ IN CONVERSATION WITH MICHAŁ WODZIŃSKI, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF FAKT: “We had a good meeting just before the summit, while waiting for the arrival of President Donald Trump. We had the opportunity to talk with President Karol Nawrocki. I think that despite the differences that are evident between us – I am for the SAFE program, the President has not signed it – we can cooperate when necessary, when needed, when we have a common stance and present it externally. Our allies also expect this, so that there is no dualism in Polish statements. There was none of that; I assess this summit and cooperation at the summit positively.”

-- THE DIVISION BETWEEN US AND UKRAINE, ALSO BASED ON HISTORY, IS ONE OF THE MAIN STRATEGIC ACTIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION TODAY – KOSINIAK FURTHER WITH WODZIŃSKI: “Yes, unfortunately, we should expect further provocations against us – the Baltic states, Romania, Finland, the entire eastern flank of NATO. This could happen with the involvement of Ukrainian drones intercepted by Russia. I think Russia is collecting these Ukrainian drones today, which fly and attack refineries on the territory of the Russian Federation. Those that are destroyed or intercepted by them could be used, or similar ones, produced and released under a false flag. This provocation would be multi-layered, not only a direct physical violation of airspace but also shifting responsibility to Ukraine. This division between us and Ukraine, also based on history, is one of the main strategic actions of the Russian Federation today.”

-- COOPERATION IS NEEDED, AND I WOULD LIKE TO DECLARE THAT. PRESIDENT NAWROCKI'S ROLE AND HIS GOOD CONTACTS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE VERY IMPORTANT – KOSINIAK CONTINUES WITH WODZIŃSKI: “Of course, we are in the phase of talks and plans. The final decision rests with President Trump. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also emphasized this in his letter to me, clearly stating – now talks, negotiating an agreement, and the final decision of the President of the United States. Cooperation is needed here, and I want to declare that. President Nawrocki's role and his good contacts with President Trump are very important, as is the government's role in securing funds, providing opportunities, adopting the entire strategy for building this base, and implementing it. We are obliged to cooperate here. I will fulfill my part, and I encourage, and I know that there will likely be openness and a willingness to cooperate from the Presidential Palace on this matter.”

-- THIS IS NOT JUST STUPIDITY, IT IS SIMPLY CONTRARY TO POLISH STATE INTERESTS. IT IS DANGEROUS – KOSINIAK ON CZARNEK: “I wonder what state of delusion must be in someone's head to utter these nonsensical, dangerous words. This is not just stupidity; it is simply contrary to Polish state interests. It is dangerous, and it is also dangerous in terms of alliances, because exactly a week ago, the President of the United States signed the Ankara Summit declaration, the NATO Summit, which states: NATO will support fighting Ukraine with all its might. And the call for the Union not to give money, for which NATO calls on us to give these funds from the European Union and support Ukraine, is simply irresponsible.”

-- ALL THOSE SLOGANS ABOUT MY ENVIRONMENT BEING FLIP-FLOPS WERE SIMPLY EXTREMELY UNTRUE. BECAUSE IF THAT WERE THE CASE, WE SHOULD HAVE ACCEPTED MANY AN OFFER LONG AGO – KOSINIAK CONTINUES IN FAKT WITH WODZIŃSKI: “He has done so more than once. He offered golden mountains and the highest positions. This shows that all those slogans about my environment being flip-floppers were simply extremely untrue. Because if that were the case, we should have accepted many an offer long ago, but we didn't, because we agreed to something else with our voters. I think this will also come out in the election campaign and will be appreciated. It will not be an easy election, because it is always easier to attack than to defend. Certain actions demonstrate populism, algorithms that reward falsehood, and there are many of them. They are simply dangerous. Today we have two truths – objective truth, which is unchanging, and emotional truth, which results from likes and shares. And it does not reflect reality; it is a creation of reality. It is a very difficult world in which we have to navigate today.”

-- DAWID KACPRZYK WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE UP A MANAGERIAL POSITION IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AT THE WOLSKI HOSPITAL, BELONGING TO THE CAPITAL CITY OF WARSAW. IN APRIL 2026, HE WAS EVEN PRESENTED TO THE STAFF – PATRYK SŁOWIK AND JAKUB STYCZYŃSKI ON THE ZERO.PL PORTAL: “Kacprzyk was presented in this role, even though he did not win any competition. What's more, he lacked the professional qualifications to hold a managerial position in a city hospital. Ultimately, the employment did not occur. Why? There are two versions. One speaks of staff opposition. The other is that Kacprzyk demanded too much money. Shortly thereafter, the CEO of Wolski Hospital, Robert Mazur, was dismissed from his position by the Warsaw authorities. Even his deputy does not know the reasons for this decision.”

-- KACPRZYK WANTED TO SETTLE IN AT AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN ANOTHER CITY. HE DEMANDED TOO MUCH MONEY – FILIP BACZKURA, PATRYK SŁOWIK, AND JAKUB STYCZYŃSKI ON ZERO.PL: “Dawid Kacprzyk was negotiating for his team of doctors to take over the emergency department of the district hospital in Mińsk Mazowiecki – Zero.pl has learned. This is confirmed by the hospital director, Artur Więckowski. He broke off talks with the young medic after several dozen SOR employees came to his office with the information that Kacprzyk had threatened them with dismissal. – When I arrived at work on Monday morning, before eight, ten or fifteen people were waiting for me. They came with the message: Mr. Director, someone is coming who is already firing us – the director recounts. – Kacprzyk spoke arrogantly towards his fellow doctors, as well as towards paramedics, and they were simply indignant – adds Więckowski.”
