Marcelina Zawisza from the Left Party wrote that it has been 10 years since Zbigniew Ziobro combined the roles of Attorney General and Minister of Justice. She claimed that this arrangement allows for political control over proceedings. She added that although Ziobro has not been in office for three years, Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Minister of Justice Waldemar Żurek have not separated these functions and are using a solution they previously criticized. Zawisza reported that her group has prepared a draft law to separate both positions. She also wrote that Poland is the only country in the European Union where these roles are personally combined, and the Attorney General is most often a politician. According to her, the current arrangement means that the prosecution is subordinate to the minister, and indirectly also to the prime minister, leading to its political control. #Prokuratura #Polska #Prawo (translated)

Mr. Devil Stockton claimed that Paweł Szefernaker was the first in Polish politics to rely on a troll farm, which initially counted around 2,000 accounts and operated from 2009 to 2015. According to the author, Szefernaker and Beata Szydło's team came up with the slogan "Poland in ruins," and the controlled accounts disseminated spam. Stockton wrote that Szefernaker distanced himself from these methods but had already made enemies. He also published a second list, including 109 accounts he described as trolls and bots under the politician's control. He claimed they were influencing discussions on X, supporting the message and covering up scandals involving the president's office, as well as weakening critical posts about Karol Nawrocki. He encouraged blocking these accounts, arguing that it would limit the spread of false propaganda. #Polska #polityka #dezinformacja (translated)

Slush stated that in his opinion, people overlooked the possible consequences of the public administration starting to use large language models. He expected that more regulations and directives would be issued, and that targeted inspections would be conducted more frequently or requests for explanations would be made. He claimed that the previous limitations were due to the capacity of officials who had to process submissions manually. He added that, according to him, the tactic of overwhelming authorities with documents would stop working, because an automated system would be able to filter out irrelevant information. He also mentioned that a colleague recently told him that the communication style of the tax office suggests the deployment of automated agents. Slush characterized this as a step towards dehumanizing public administration and its detachment from reality. #státníSpráva #regulace #automatizace (translated)
