Bartosz Lewandowski alleged that in the Court of Appeal in Warsaw, an appeal regarding a "iron-clad" letter for Marcin Romanowski was directed for consideration, bypassing 12 judges from the complaint application section. He claimed that after the change of power, Adam Bodnar led to changes in the court's leadership, and 12 judges were removed from ruling on other cases, including those concerning operational surveillance and temporary arrests. According to Lewandowski, the section was appropriate for reviewing appeals regarding iron-clad letters. He referred to a previous appeal regarding the refusal to issue an iron-clad letter for Michał Kuczmierowski, which was reviewed by the judges of that section. In Lewandowski's assessment, the prosecutor's appeal in the Romanowski case was wrongly classified as concerning arrest. He indicated that the case in the District Court was registered as concerning an iron-clad letter, and the decision on arrest was meant to be merely a consequence of its granting. He added that he appealed the decision in favor of Romanowski, and his appeal was instructed to be sent to the appellate court on October 2, 2026, a few days before the prosecutor's appeal. Lewandowski called the situation a scandal and announced that he would request explanations from the management of the appellate court. He also informed that he would notify the First President of the Supreme Court Zbigniew Kapiński about the matter and the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor of the U.S. Department of State. He announced that he would bring up comments made by Minister Waldemar Żurek about Judge Konrad Mielcarek and the case of Judge Dariusz Łubowski after the European arrest warrant against Romanowski was revoked. He pointed out that he intended to do this in connection with the extradition request concerning Zbigniew Ziobro in the same matter. #SądApelacyjny #Sprawiedliwość #Polska (translated)

The author of the entry described the matter as a crime of the PiS era and claimed that it was committed with premeditation and direct intent.

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the current numbers from Audi and VW have overtaken the debate about the cut of 50,000, 100,000, or 150,000 jobs. For both companies, it has now become about their own survival. The decline is happening faster than the corporations can react, and it is costing companies of this size a lot of money, he explained. The unions can no longer demand anything but can only pray, Boeminghaus wrote. #Automobilindustrie #Arbeitsplätze #Wirtschaft (translated)

The author wondered whether the state was losing control over its own surveillance system and noted that it was not about the old console. He referred to the opinion of experts from the Internal Security Agency (ABW), according to which the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA) purchased a tool over which it did not have full control: data was leaving Poland, and the infecting module was supposed to be controlled by the manufacturer. #inwigilacja #bezpieczeństwo #dane #PL (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Bärbel Bas is stepping down as co-chair of the SPD and as Minister of Labor. In her letter to the party, Bas mentioned the death of her stepdaughter and explained that she needs time to grieve. At the same time, according to Laska, she wrote that public attacks on her have intensified during this time – even from within the ranks of the coalition partner. According to Laska, Bas has been held responsible for problems within the coalition, including an overly expensive pension, too lenient citizen's income, and a weak economy. The author wrote that political criticism can be tough, but there is a line where it becomes malicious. If a minister refers to her own coalition upon resigning, someone in the Chancellery should take notice, she said. Bas retains her parliamentary mandate and hopes to be able to work with full strength again soon, wrote Laska. She expressed her condolences to Bas. #Politik #SPD #Trauer (translated)
