Zbigniew Bogucki wrote that partitions, occupation, and communism did not manage to break Polishness or the spirit of the Church. He quoted President Karol Nawrocki from a meeting with the American Polonia in New York. Nawrocki said that the Catholic Church upheld Polish identity during the partitions, occupation, and after 1945, when — as he described it — Poland was a Soviet colony. He also mentioned the 1980s when some non-practicing Poles associated their aspiration for freedom and sovereignty with the Church. #Polska #Kościół #tożsamość (translated)

Hanna Shen wrote that critics of Karol Nawrocki's participation in the boxing training with Manny Pacquiao expected a lecture, but saw the president in the ring instead. In her opinion, the recording published by Pacquiao could have reached millions of Filipinos and served as effective promotion for Poland. She reminded that Pacquiao was a former senator and the only world champion in eight weight classes in history. Shen noted that Nawrocki also spoke at the Catholic University of Santo Tomas in Manila, founded by Dominicans in 1611. According to her, the university was older than Harvard and was considered the oldest functioning university in Asia. She wrote that José Rizal studied there, and Nawrocki laid a wreath at his statue. She also mentioned Pope Francis's meeting with young people at the university in 2015. According to Shen, the president spoke to students about the shared experiences of Poland and the Philippines, such as foreign domination and the struggle to preserve identity, as well as about faith, family, solidarity, freedom, and sovereignty. He also recalled the Russian invasion of Ukraine and hybrid attacks on Poland, emphasizing that deterrence requires strength. Shen believed that this message could be understood in a country dealing with Chinese pressures at sea. She added that serious discussions, a lecture, and training with a boxing legend could have been elements of the same diplomatic visit. https://t.co/O6JtNM19h7 #Polska #Filipiny #dyplomacja (translated)

The Poland News reported that Elbląg police were searching for a woman who allegedly left a suitcase by the trash shed on Browarna Street around 12:40 AM on September 15. According to the post, a passerby later found a dead American Bully dog inside. The police attempted to establish the identity of the woman seen in the recording and asked anyone who could recognize her to contact them at the numbers 47 734 16 40 or 734 16 28. #Elbląg #policja #zaginione (translated)

– Legal and civic education is the foundation of any democracy. There are no independently thinking young people who can shape their civic identity if they do not know what set of rights, but also duties, they possess. However, merely passing on knowledge is not enough. Rights must be experienced and learned through action: participation in local initiatives, visits to courts and institutions, or direct exposure to processes in which young people will later participate as adult citizens. The Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of National Education – Paulina Piechna-Więckiewicz – shares a similar opinion. #EdukacjaPrawna #Obywatelskość #TechnologiaWszkołach (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that President Karol Nawrocki's visit to the Philippines was the first visit by a Polish president to this country, and its reception had an exceptionally musical character. He added that Nawrocki and the First Lady, Marta Nawrocka, were welcomed by Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Aranet Marcos. Hübner assessed that the events were taking place in an important geopolitical segment. He described the Philippines as a country similar to the Commonwealth in terms of identity and an important element of the geopolitical puzzle that—he wrote—had previously been built by Donald Trump and PiS, and was currently being built by Trump and Nawrocki. He added that this was likely to meet with dissatisfaction from Russia and China. #Polska #Filipiny #geopolityka (translated)

Grzegorz Braun considered it absurd to present him as a person with a non-Polish appearance and background. He also encouraged people to familiarize themselves with the full version of the material, to which he provided a link, and he accompanied the post with the slogans "Confederation of the Polish Crown" and "Let's Regain Independence". https://t.co/fAo32Eqb0Z #KonfederacjaKoronyPolskiej #OdzyskajmyNiepodległość #Polska #Niepodległość #Tożsamość (translated)

Redbad wrote that he knew Waldek, Myślozbira, from the internet and found it hard to come to terms with the fact that the deceased would not write another sentence. He valued his precision and the way he defined his views and spoke up despite the consequences. According to Redbad, Waldek advocated for the right to an individual voice, independent of origin, gender, or orientation. Redbad found beliefs in his texts that were close to his own, particularly concerning the biological and binary nature of sex, the independence of orientation from ideology, and the responsibility of adults to protect children from experiments with irreversible effects. Redbad also described his own experience of attacks after he questioned the meaning of the "plus" sign. He wrote that he faced attempts to exclude him, loss of work, and challenges to his right to participate in the debate, and some of these actions proved effective. He added that this only allowed him to imagine the price Waldek paid for his stance. Redbad mentioned that as a person of two cultures, he understood how important the right to self-define one's identity and express one's views was to Waldek. He wrote that the voice of the deceased would remain with others and might give courage to those who had remained silent until now. #Waldka #WalkaOSwojePrawa #Tożsamość (translated)

Mr. Grzegorz, I read the entire justification. And I agree with one thing – legal analysis cannot be replaced with the label of a "neo-judge," because that is not an argument 🤷‍♂️ However, the justification itself, although extensive and internally organized, in my opinion leaves two very serious legal problems. The first concerns Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The provision states that in preparatory proceedings, a "blanket warrant" can be issued at the request of the prosecutor or in the absence of their objection. Here, the prosecutor filed an objection. The court does not challenge the wording of the provision. It consciously deviates from it, considering that the binding objection of the prosecutor would violate the court's jurisdictional independence. It references Article 8 § 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 178 paragraph 1 of the Constitution, Article 6 of the ECHR, Article 47 of the KPP, and part of the case law of appellate courts. This is a legal argument. But there is also an opposing line of case law, based precisely on the linguistic interpretation of Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which the court itself notes in the justification. I wrote about this yesterday. So it is not the case that there is no problem. There is a very serious dispute about the limits of interpretation contra legem and whether the court can practically deprive the premise, which the legislator explicitly included in the provision. The second problem I have is with the prognostic assessment. The court acknowledges that Romanowski left Poland, did not appear for the hearing concerning the temporary arrest, was outside the reach of Polish authorities, and even informed in his own application that he has a passport issued under a different identity 🤷‍♂️ The court considers these circumstances to be burdensome but then assumes that they cannot determine the assessment because one should look at it primarily prospectively. 🤔 And this is where I have the greatest doubt. The prediction of a suspect's future behavior does not occur in a vacuum. Its foundational material is, after all, their past behavior. 🤷‍♂️ If a person involved in the proceedings previously did not comply with procedural mechanisms, left the country, and remained outside the reach of the authorities, then their later declaration that from this moment they will comply with the conditions of the "blanket warrant" must be subjected to particularly rigorous assessment. The court may conclude that despite this, the risk has currently diminished. But it should convincingly demonstrate why specific past behaviors have lost their prognostic significance. Because if we are to predict a person’s future behavior while disregarding their past behavior, then a rather fundamental question arises - on what basis are we actually building this prediction? 🤷‍♂️ Therefore, I would not dismiss this ruling with the label of a neo-judge, but I would also not say that the problem ends with the justification sounding rational. A rationally constructed justification can still lead to a legally debatable result. In my opinion, this is exactly the kind of case we are dealing with here. The argumentation of the court is clear and can be recounted, but both the way of breaking the literal wording of Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the prognostic assessment of the suspect's behavior leave significant legal doubts. If I were to rule on this matter, I would not grant the application. Firstly – due to the prosecutor's objection and the content of Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Secondly – even accepting a different interpretation of this provision, I would not find sufficient grounds for a positive prognostic assessment. This is not about punishing Romanowski for the past. It is about assessing whether his past behavior allows rationally to assume that from this moment he will respect the obligations arising from the "blanket warrant." In my opinion – it does not allow 🤷‍♂️ And that is precisely why there is an appellate review. #prawo #justycja #analizaprawna (translated)
