— JANUSZ CIESZYŃSKI INFORMED ABOUT THE REVOCATION OF ADAM NIEDZIELSKI'S SECURITY, DESPITE REPEATED THREATS: https://x.com/jciesz/status/1960798714450337960

— WAS THE EXPLOSION IN THE POLICE CHIEF'S OFFICE AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT? – IZABELA KACPRZAK AND GRAŻYNA ZAWADKA IN RZ: “Two days before General Jarosław Szymczyk's departure for Ukraine, his office at the Police Headquarters received an email message about a ‘bomb’. It was written in Latvian and came from a Russian domain: it ended with ‘ru’ – Rzeczpospolita has established. The information was treated as a joke.”

— DOUBTS SURROUNDING THE EXPLOSION AT THE KGP. A DIFFERENT GRENADE LAUNCHER EXPLODED THAN THE ONE GIFTED BY THE UKRAINIANS. WAS IT REPLACED, AND IF SO, WHEN AND WHERE? – KACPRZAK AND ZAWADKA FURTHER IN RZ: “Both photographs are now to be examined by an expert from the Anthropology and Imagery Laboratory of a Krakow institute. If the expert confirms that these are different grenade launchers, it will become obvious that a replacement occurred – the question is when and where. But the mere determination that they are two different grenade launchers would indicate someone's deliberate action, and therefore sabotage.”

— HOSPITAL DIRECTOR ACCUSES GOVERNMENT OF “RIGGING” COMPETITIONS FOR KPO FUNDS – MICHAŁ JANCZURA AND SZYMON JADCZAK IN WP: “Mariusz Trojanowski, director of the district hospital in Aleksandrów Kujawski, and head of the local structures of Civic Platform: Everyone hoped that thanks to KPO, small hospitals would be able to recover, that we would get a chance to improve even a little. Meanwhile, it wasn't a competition, but a pseudo-competition. That's why I think we've been deceived. That's how I perceive it, and not only me.”

— I'VE BEEN IN THE PLATFORM FOR 20 YEARS AND NEVER THOUGHT A MINISTER FROM THE PLATFORM WOULD WORK WITH US FOR THE FIRST 3 MONTHS AND AFTER 3 MONTHS STEP INTO THE SHOES OF THEIR OFFICIALS – TROJANOWSKI, DIRECTOR OF THE DISTRICT HOSPITAL IN ALEKSANDRÓW KUJAWSKI, HEAD OF LOCAL PLATFORM STRUCTURES, CONTINUES IN AN INTERVIEW WITH WP: “The directors point this out to me and have complaints, but they know that I am also deceived. I've been in the Platform for 20 years and never thought that a minister from the Platform would work with us for the first 3 months and after 3 months step into the shoes of their officials, the whisperers from strange circles, and that contact would be broken.”

— I FEEL DECEIVED IN A WAY. IT WAS ME WHO PROTESTED, MARCHED THROUGH WARSAW WITH A FLAG. IT WAS ME WHO SHOUTED, IT WAS ME WHO PERSUADED PEOPLE, TWICE ACTUALLY, BEFORE THE ELECTIONS – TROJANOWSKI, DIRECTOR OF THE DISTRICT HOSPITAL IN ALEKSANDRÓW KUJAWSKI, HEAD OF LOCAL PLATFORM STRUCTURES, CONTINUES: “I feel deceived in a way. It was me who protested, marched through Warsaw with a flag. It was me who shouted, it was me who persuaded people, twice actually, before the elections. It was me who proclaimed to all my director colleagues that we would keep our word. Today I feel spat out to an unbelievable degree. I had meetings with the Prime Minister, who also promised certain things. He did nothing in this matter. He even instructed me to receive a call from his aide, Mr. Grabiec. This person doesn't even deign to answer my SMS messages and calls.”

— I FEEL MOST DECEIVED BECAUSE WE PROMISED IN THE '100 CONCRETE ACTIONS' THAT ALL SERVICES WOULD BE UNLIMITED AND THAT HOSPITALS WOULD BE DEBT-FREE, INCLUDING, OF COURSE, DISTRICT HOSPITALS. TODAY, INSTEAD OF DEBT RELIEF FOR HOSPITALS, WE HAVE MANIPULATIONS – THE HOSPITAL DIRECTOR IN ALEKSANDRÓW, HEAD OF THE LOCAL CIVIC PLATFORM, CONTINUES IN A CONVERSATION WITH JANCZURA AND JADCZAK IN WP: “I feel most deceived because we promised in the ‘100 Concrete Actions’ that all services would be unlimited and that hospitals would be debt-free, including, of course, district hospitals. Today, instead of debt relief for hospitals, we have manipulations. I call it by its name and I want you to write that. This is not any reform, it is manipulation by the rulers, it is putting a hood over the head of a condemned man so he doesn't see how they will execute him. I am not afraid of these words. Instead of payment for all services, we are constantly receiving regulations, orders from the president of the National Health Fund, which take away the rest of our money.”

— THE GAME IS ABOUT HOW MUCH WE WILL EXCEED THE 300 BILLION PLN DEFICIT BARRIER – IRENEUSZ SUDAK IN GW: “Secondly, the game is about a new deficit amount and the 400 billion PLN barrier. – If the budget hole amounts to that much, the markets will be relentless. A sell-off of the złoty, Polish stocks, and bonds could begin. If it's closer to 300 billion PLN, we've gained some time. This postpones sharper cuts, such as reducing the '800 plus' program after the parliamentary elections in 2027 – one analyst tells us anonymously.”

— YOUNG POLITICIANS ARE FED UP WITH THE CURRENT PLATFORM – ARKADIUSZ GRUSZCZYŃSKI IN GW: “– Voices are increasingly appearing at our internal meetings that this whole feminism has brought us nothing good, that we don't need these partnership unions. The same people in 2023 said, ‘I didn't sign up for this kind of Platform,’ and now they say, ‘Finally, my PO is returning to its roots.’”

— THOSE WHO JOINED THE PLATFORM AS IT SHIFTS RIGHT ARE LOSING THEIR WAY – GRUSZCZYŃSKI FURTHER IN GW: “My interlocutor claims that a significant group of progressive young politicians who joined Civic Coalition in the last decade, when Borys Budka, and later Donald Tusk, stood on the side of women's rights and human rights during election campaigns, are now losing their way in a party that is turning to the right.”

— EVERYONE KNOWS THAT SUCH A PARTY WOULD GET 15 PERCENT IN POLLS AT THE START – GRUSZCZYŃSKI'S CONVERSATION PARTNER SAYS: “A politician associated with Poland 2050 has similar thoughts. – There is room in the country for a new liberal group that will make a political offer to 40-year-olds. That's what we were supposed to be, but we got lost in our message, and now it's not entirely clear whose we are and for whom. We're talking about a group that isn't economically social and conservative on worldview issues, but the opposite. Everyone sees that we need a party like the Modern. And everyone knows that such a party would get 15 percent in polls at the start – claims my interlocutor, who is not a novice in politics.”

— A NEW LIBERAL PARTY WILL NATURALLY PROVIDE TUSK WITH OXYGEN AND A SECOND TERM – GRUSZCZYŃSKI'S CONVERSATION PARTNERS FURTHER IN GW: “Should Tusk fear this move? No, because Civic Coalition is the leader in polls. Of course, if they win the parliamentary elections, they will need a coalition partner, because Poland 2050 – about which everyone I speak with agrees – is a dying project, PSL is quietly hoping for a joint start with Civic Coalition, and New Left will likely maintain its current support rather than increase it. But a new liberal party will naturally provide Tusk with oxygen and a second term.”

— JACEK GĄDEK REPORTS A VOICE FROM THE GOVERNMENT STATING THE PRESIDENT “DID NOT IMPRESS AS A TITAN OF INTELLECT”: “In the government, they have a completely different perception. A person from the government describes their impression in a completely different way: – Frankly speaking, Karol Nawrocki did not impress as a titan of intellect. He was weak.”

— MEANWHILE, ACCORDING TO GĄDEK'S INTERLOCUTOR FROM THE PALACE, DOMAŃSKI DID NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET: “A representative of the president's side: – Domański did not answer questions about what to do with the deficit already reaching 150 billion PLN and the expected budget hole reaching up to 50 billion PLN. Domański referred to off-budget indicators such as GDP growth, but he did not answer questions on how to prevent the budget from collapsing.”

— THE PRESIDENT SPOKE TO THE PEOPLE, TUSK SPOKE TO JOURNALISTS – A VOICE FROM THE PALACE FOR 300POLITYKI: “Why would 90% of the media, which made the same mistakes as Tusk and Murański and Onet with everything, suddenly be enlightened and right that Tusk handled the confrontation with the president better? The elections, which they predicted differently than the outcome, were only 3 months ago.”

— TUSK PRESENTED A HYPER-OPTIMISTIC VISION OF THE SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY, which is supposed to result from the government's actions. Meanwhile, in July, 57% thought the situation was bad and only 22% thought it was good. 32% are government supporters; Tusk spoke to them, not to the 48% of opponents. He did not address any concerns, abstracted from social sentiment – **WE HEAR FROM THE PALACE'S OFF**.

— UNFORTUNATELY, THE GREATEST DEVELOPMENT AMBITION OF THIS GOVERNMENT IS TO BUILD WIND TURBINES AND BUY HIGH-SPEED TRAINS FROM ABROAD – the interlocutor from the Palace for 300 tells us.

— TUSK LOSES, NAWROCKI SCORES – THE POLITICAL SYSTEM IN POLAND FACILITATES SHIFTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHAOS ONTO THE PRIME MINISTER – TOMASZ WALCZAK IN SE: “Do you hear that howling? Excellent!” – presidential activity targets the emotions of the right-wing electorate and the irritation of the liberal segment of society. Tusk loses, Nawrocki scores – the political system in Poland facilitates shifting responsibility for chaos onto the prime minister.”

— NAWROCKI IS TURNING THE PALACE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE – WALCZAK FURTHER IN SE: “Vetoes on laws that concern the main axes of political division – the fight against climate change, energy transformation, or nationality policy. They complicate the government's life, position Nawrocki as a player, and provide the right-wing electorate with endorphins that these disgusting libs are furiously howling in helplessness. The Council of Ministers becomes an arena for presidential scoldings directed at the government. The president, not only active, but also offensive and fulfilling his election promises. At least to the extent that the political system allows him. The lesson of Trump's politics has been learned in the Presidential Palace.”

— NERVOUS SELL-OFF OF VIRTUAL POLSKA SHARES – BUSINESS INSIDER: “A drop in shares by almost 11%, to PLN 65.70 at the day's low, can be considered a very nervous reaction by investors to WP Holding's results. Only once in the company's stock market history has there been a worse day – March 13, 2020, when shares lost 15.7%. One of the leading players in the Polish internet disappointed with its published results on Tuesday, causing its stock to fall to its lowest level since December 20 last year, and if such declines were to continue until the end of the session, it would be the lowest price since May 18, 2020.”
