Łukasz Warzecha wrote that entrepreneurs from the brewing and winemaking industries pointed out what he considered absurd regulations in the adopted law and warned about its consequences. He assessed that advertising regulations could harm Polish companies, give an advantage to large enterprises, and cost the gastronomy sector hundreds of millions of zlotys due to changes in the equipment of outdoor seating areas. Warzecha stated that the law could put President Karol Nawrocki, who had repeatedly declared support for Polish business, in a difficult position. He added that industry protests could complicate his signing of the law, although — as he assessed — personal freedom was not a determinant of the president's strategy. He called on brewers and winemakers for a quick mobilization beyond online protests. He pointed out that they could join the protest organized by the Council of Entrepreneurs on October 15 in front of the KPRM regarding the unfulfilled promise concerning ZUS. #PolskiBiznes #Protest #Ustawa (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and stated that both sides had agreed. According to her, Volodymyr Zelensky initially had no knowledge of this. Later, he said the report was new to him, but Ukraine was ready to cease attacks on Russian energy facilities, provided that Russia would no longer attack Ukrainian power plants. Laska wrote that there was no initial confirmation from the Kremlin, and Russian attacks continued. According to Ukrainian sources, among others, power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv were hit. She also referred to Trump's earlier claim from September 14 that both sides had agreed to spare energy facilities; however, a sustainable ceasefire did not emerge from that. The author placed the announcement within a series of Trump's statements: on Friday, he announced a diesel deal with Putin and a US waiver for Russian diesel deliveries; on Saturday, he said Ukraine needed a new president; and on Sunday, he declared a ceasefire, to which this president allegedly agreed. Laska described this as contradictory since Zelensky had simultaneously been portrayed by Trump as a potential negotiating partner, even though he was unaware of the agreement. Furthermore, Laska wrote that seven US senators - four Republicans and three Democrats - legally challenged Trump's diesel deal with Putin. They accused the government of not involving Congress as required and demanded the withdrawal of the deal. While the US Treasury had issued a license, its sufficient legal basis was disputed. In a satirical scene, Laska imagined Trump reacting by putting down his phone, splattering a freshly painted wall while drinking, and possibly firing the painter afterward. #Trump #Ukraine #Russland (translated)

Lemingopedia accused Donald Tusk's government of publicizing an alleged attack on himself and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz to divert attention from budgetary problems. The author claimed that the information was released in the media before the suspect was detained, and experts commenting on Polsat were unable to identify the procedure used. He characterized this as an action intended to create "alternative realities." The author also referred to Rutkowski's involvement in helping a farmer, to whom he attributed substance use, and ironically suggested that he might have feared the delegalization of Minecraft. He also mentioned the Rubtsov case and the search for four-year-old Eileen at the border, claiming that the girl did not exist. Lemingopedia further reported that on Friday Domański reached an agreement on transferring the supervision of exchanges, clearing houses, and securities depositories to the EU level. According to the author, ESMA was supposed to gain powers, except for full control over the Frankfurt stock exchange, which had been negotiated by Germany and accepted by ministers from other countries. The author accused the government of sending two individuals to divert attention from this matter and used insulting language towards them. https://t.co/8NPL5yAO8g #Polska #polityka #aktualności (translated)
