John Bingham described the ruling team as cynical and claimed that it based its maintenance of power on manipulation and political PR. He expected the media to ask about the issue of the "assassination attempt on the prime minister": whether the threat signal was confirmed before the announcement was published, who decided to make it public, and what effect it was supposed to have on security. He also asked whether the decision was consulted with the ABW (Internal Security Agency) and SOP (Government Protective Bureau), whether an update was to be provided after assessing the credibility of the threat, and what operational or protective benefit announcing the possibility of an assassination on the highest representatives of the authorities gave before presenting the verification results. #polityka #media #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Zbigniew Hołdys quoted a statement by Tomoko Akane, the president of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, according to which any country siding with the USA would forever lose credibility in matters of human rights and international law.

The author assessed that D. Trump's decision to reach an agreement with W. Putin was another blow to the strength and credibility of NATO and to security. He asked whether Americans would accept the policy which he described as pro-Russian and anti-European. He added that in that case, it could mean the end of the era of the Euro-American alliance, and he assessed the prospects for Poland as unfavorable. #NATO #bezpieczeństwo #Polska #US #RU #PL (translated)

The author wrote that maintaining the import of Russian LNG undermined the credibility of the EU's promise to break energy ties with Moscow, especially at a time when Russia continued to wage war against Ukraine. He stated that Europe paid about 7.88 billion euros for liquefied natural gas from the Russian Arctic energy project. #Energia #Rosja #Ukraina #RU #UA #EU (translated)

The author wrote that the president of the National Bank of Poland is subject to the law, but bringing him before the State Tribunal should have solid grounds. According to him, such a step would undermine the independence of the central bank, investor trust, and Poland's rating, and the loss of the state's credibility could raise the debt costs borne by citizens. #NBP #Polska #praworządność #PL (translated)

The author assessed that Donald Trump's recent decisions might have been aimed at rebuilding Republican support before the Congress elections on November 3. He pointed to the promise of a $5,000 payout, Trump's change of stance on mail-in voting, and the energy agreement with Vladimir Putin, which was purportedly meant to help lower fuel prices. According to the author, the supply of Russian oil could have had a minimal impact on prices but serious political consequences. The author wrote that Europe is bearing the costs of sanctions, and Ukraine continues to face Russian aggression, while Trump presented the agreement as a way to combat inflation. He also noted a decline in support for the president and growing social discontent, as well as some Republican politicians publicly distancing themselves from the administration's decisions. According to the author, Trump's actions did not fit into a long-term economic strategy but were aimed at regaining voters and maintaining a Republican majority in Congress. He argued that the president was primarily concerned with his own political survival and the interests of his family and friends. He warned that the security of allies, sanctions, and the international credibility of the USA should not be used to achieve such goals. The author concluded that Trump should not be trusted or relied upon for long-term agreements. In his view, cooperation with him should be limited to the bare minimum, as his position could change depending on current political interests. #Trump #Polityka #Geopolityka (translated)

Zbigniew Bogucki blamed Donald Tusk's government for the increase in debt servicing costs. He recalled that during the election campaign, Minister Domański had announced an increase in the government's credibility and a decrease in these costs, which at that time amounted to around 70 billion zlotys annually. Bogucki wrote that for the next year, 107 billion zlotys has been planned for debt servicing, which is 37 billion more. He compared this amount to the cost of purchasing dozens of Abrams tanks or building two permanent bases for American soldiers in Poland. He added that half of this amount, 18.5 billion zlotys, could correspond to the cost of one such base. The politician also attributed the downgrade of Poland's rating by Moody's to the government, indicating that it was supposed to be the opposite. #Polska #finanse #dług (translated)

It advised not to replicate unverified information and to rely only on credible sources and official communications. It added that every report of a potential threat should be taken seriously and verified. #bezpieczeństwo #dezinformacja #wiarygodność (translated)

Szymon Jadczak wrote that the dispute over the match between Legia Warsaw and Wisła Kraków has turned into a political scandal that, in his opinion, undermines the credibility of Donald Tusk and Marcin Kierwiński. He claimed that for three years, individuals associated with Legia had tried to block Wisła fans from entering stadiums in Poland, and the boycott of their participation in matches was broken a few months earlier, after Wisła's promotion to the Ekstraklasa. According to Jadczak, the clubs provided fictitious reasons to prevent Wisła fans from entering, and Śląsk Wrocław paid a fine of one million zlotys for this. The author accused Legia of invoking a pretended renovation and letters from the Board of Greenery of Warsaw and the Polish Police to close the away sector. He wrote that in recent days the club had remained silent, and the police and officials did not oppose the arrival of Wisła fans. He added that the Ekstraklasa statement published that day indicated that Legia had a letter from the police allowing it to close the sector. Jadczak assessed that if the content of the statement is confirmed, Legia's officials achieved their goal with the passivity of the Ekstraklasa and the PZPN, as well as the assistance of the Capital City Police Headquarters. He also accused Tusk and Kierwiński of having declarations about an uncompromising fight against fan hooligans that contradicted this situation. #LegiaWarszawa #WisłaKraków #Ekstraklasa (translated)

Former head of the German intelligence agency August Hanning has been arrested on charges of spying for Azerbaijan, which has caused strong reactions in Poland and calls into question the credibility of the German secret services. #szpiegostwo #służbySpecjalne #Niemcy (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that the dispute over the Tribunal should not be reduced to personal conflicts, as it is — as he assessed — a matter of the credibility of the rule of law. He added that citizens should be assured that the body safeguarding the Constitution operates independently and can perform its tasks without hindrance. #Prawo #Konstytucja #Wolność #PL (translated)

The author of the post criticized Marcin Przydacz for presenting his own account of the behind-the-scenes negotiations as an established fact. He wrote that Przydacz should prove that Radosław Sikorski agreed to withdraw Bogdan Klich, that another candidate was agreed upon for the position in Washington, and that Donald Tusk personally blocked the agreement. He added that the source of this version so far has mainly been Przydacz and the Chancellery of the President, and he assessed the credibility of Przydacz's information as variable. The author referenced Article 133, paragraph 1, point 2 of the Constitution, concerning the appointment and dismissal of representatives of the Republic of Poland, and Article 133, paragraph 3, which — as he wrote — provides for the cooperation of the president with the prime minister and the relevant minister in foreign policy. He added that according to Article 146, paragraph 1, it is conducted by the Council of Ministers, and the president does not independently direct foreign policy or foreign affairs. The writer also noted that Karol Nawrocki's proposal for Sikorski to consider Nikodem Rachoń did not imply that his candidacy was agreed upon. He described the assertion that Sikorski either accepted Rachoń or lied as a false alternative. He demanded that Przydacz provide the name of the agreed candidate for the position in Washington and the basis for the claim that Tusk personally blocked the agreement. #Polska #Polityka #Konsytucja (translated)

The author of the entry assessed that an immediate withdrawal of strategically significant forces from the base in response to the terrorist threat would weaken the credibility of the US and all of NATO. He believed that such a move would harm the Americans and the alliance. #NATO #bezpieczeństwo #teroryzm #US #NATO (translated)

The Socios Wisła Kraków Association called on the Polish Football Association (PZPN), its president Cezary Kulesza, and Ekstraklasa S.A. to urgently investigate Legia Warsaw's decision to close the away section and to take actions that would allow an authorized group of Wisła fans to participate in the match scheduled for October 11. The association stated that it represents over 5,000 people and considered that the closure of the sector directly affects the community it represents. Socios referred to the response from the spokesperson of the Warsaw Police Headquarters, Chief Inspector Jacek Wiśniewski, given to editor Bartosz Karcz. According to the association, the police clarified that the correspondence was initiated by Legia, and the response concerned changes proposed by the club. It was not a post-control protocol nor a reaction to a specific match or incident; the police did not order the closure of the sector nor set a deadline for modernization. Socios emphasized that, according to the police's position, the decision to make the sector available was up to Legia as the organizer of the mass event. The association pointed out that Legia justified the closure of the sector until the end of 2026 with the scope and urgency of the works. In its opinion, the necessity and duration of the restriction should be supported by specific documentation. Socios also cited information from the Board of Greenery of the City of Warsaw, according to which Legia had been using city land serving the sector without a contract since 2017, and discussions regarding the regulation of this situation began in the summer of 2026. The association noted that Legia indicated the September international break as a convenient time to resolve the land issue. Socios demanded an examination of the documents, an urgent site visit involving both clubs, the police, PZPN, and Ekstraklasa S.A., as well as checking the schedule of works and the possibility of implementing alternative solutions. It also called for an assessment of Legia's decision in terms of competition rules and infrastructure and licensing issues, and subsequently for the public presentation of the findings before the match. The association declared support for TS Wisła Kraków S.A. in legal actions related to the exclusion of an organized group of fans, including financing the costs of proceedings and legal services. It emphasized that clarifying the matter after the meeting will not restore the fans' ability to participate in it. #WisłaKraków #Ekstraklasa #PZPN (translated)

The National Electoral Commission emphasizes the need to adjust the number of mandates in electoral districts to demographic changes, warning that the lack of such adjustments undermines the credibility of the system and leads to political speculation, which can have negative consequences for future elections. #wybory #mandaty #demografia (translated)

Germany wants to play the role of a political mentor for Europe, while at the same time refusing to talk about responsibility for the crimes and losses inflicted on Poland and other nations during World War II. Credibility begins with reckoning with one's own history. https://t.co/YUETbCNmb0 #Historia #IIWW #Polityka #DE #PL (translated)

Emocje powoli opadają. Moja kampania się skończyła, więc czas spokojnie, metodycznie przyjrzeć się wynikom📈. Nie tylko samym procentom, ale także warunkom, w których przyszło nam walczyć. Kraków od lat jest dla PiS trudnym miastem. Analizując poparcie w Krakowie w zestawieniu z wynikami ogólnopolskimi robi się ciekawie. W wyborach do Sejmu w 2023 roku, do Parlamentu Europejskiego w 2024 roku i w pierwszej turze wyborów prezydenckich w 2025 roku wynik Prawa i Sprawiedliworci lub popieranego przez partię kandydata wynosił tutaj około 70% wyniku ogólnopolskiego. Czyli jeśli PiS w Polsce miał poparcie 40%, to w Krakowie około 28%, jeśli w Polsce było 30% to w Krakowie 21%. Dzisiaj średnia ośmiu zestawionych sondaży, daje PiS 20,62%. Gdyby więc uwzględnić to statystycznie mój wynik powinien wynosić 14,32%, bo jest to te historycznie udowodnione 70% poparcia ogólnopolskiego. Ale wynik jest wyższy! Uzyskałem 17,50%. Ponad 3 punkty procentowe więcej. Około 21% ponad poziom wynikający z tej historycznej proporcji. To nie jest prognoza ani porównanie identycznych wyborów, ale jest to konkretny punkt odniesienia. I na jego tle nasz wynik jest wyraźnie lepszy. Głosowało na mnie wielu wyborców, którzy na PiS nie głosowali. Jestem im wdzięczny, że wybrali konkretnego czlowieka, kierując się wiarygodnością i aktywnością, a nie tylko znaczkiem. Warto pamiętać też o kontekście. Kiedy w 2018 roku startowała Małgorzata Wassermann, wrześniowy sondaż CBOS dla Polski pokazywał PiS 43%, a jej wynik w Krakowie wyniósł 31,88%. To pojedynczy odczyt, który dobrze przypomina, w jak innych warunkach politycznych odbywały się tamte wybory. PiS był na fali, odnosił sukcesy. Zobaczcie na wykresy- żółty po lewej stronie to różnica poparcia, dzisiaj jest minimalna, co pokazuje że dobrze wykonaliśmy pracę. Dziś mieliśmy również znacznie silniejszego Łukasza Gibałę, budującego wizerunek kandydata sprzeciwu wobec miejskiej władzy i partyjnym centralom („każdy byle nie ktoś z KO”). Sięgał także po głosy prawicy. Nie pomógł rozłam w naszym środowisku. Nie pomogły sygnały płynące od z Rozwoju Plus, gdy jeden poseł publicznie mówił, że „trzyma kciuki” za Gibałę. Mimo tego potrafiliśmy zainteresować naszą kandydaturą również ludzi spoza PiS. Według sondażu głosowali na mnie także wyborcy Konfederacji, a nawet Lewicy czy Koalicji Obywatelskiej. Pokazuje to, że moje poparcie nie zamykało się w jednym partyjnym środowisku. Nie osiągnęliśmy celu, jakim była druga tura. Ale nie przekreśla to pracy, którą wykonaliśmy, ani wyniku lepszego od historycznego punktu odniesienia. W tych warunkach uważam go za sukces naszej aktywności i wiarygodności. Rozmów z mieszkańcami. Obecności na osiedlach. Lat pracy, a nie tylko kilku tygodni kampanii. 44 772 osoby obdarzyły mnie zaufaniem. Dziękuję każdej z nich. Nie przyjechałem do Krakowa na wybory i nie wyjadę po wyborach. Dalej będę tutaj pracował. PS. Nie kandydowałem, by uzyskać stanowisko, dlatego nie aspiruję do funkcji wiceprezydenta. #Kraków #wybory #Polityka

JESTEM DUMNY I SZCZĘŚLIWY❗️ Startowałem w tych wyborach, bo kocham Kraków i zależy mi na jego przyszłości. Nie po to, by kupczyć stanowiskami nie po to, by wywalczyć sobie jakieś przyszłe profity, ale po to, by moje kochane miasto wreszcie miało szansę na zmianę. Mówiłem w kampanii: nie przyjechałem tutaj na wybory i nie wyjadę zaraz po nich. Jestem stąd. Dalej będę pracował dla Krakowa jako radny, patrzył władzy na ręce i realizował projekty, które uważam za ważne dla mieszkańców. Moje przekonania i determinacja pozostają te same. Czekamy na oficjalne wyniki, ale już teraz jestem dumny z tego, co wspólnie zrobiliśmy. Sondaże dawały nam 10%, exit poll pokazuje znacznie więcej. Przebiliśmy szklany sufit. Mimo przeciwności pokazaliśmy, że wiarygodność, aktywność i konsekwentna praca mają siłę. Dziękuję wszystkim ludziom dobrej woli, których spotkałem przez te 111 dni mojej kampanii. Sztabowi i wolontariuszom — za serce, czas i ogromny wysiłek. Moim bliskim — za wsparcie. A przede wszystkim mieszkańcom Krakowa — za każdy głos, każdą rozmowę i zaufanie. Wielu z Was uwierzyło w moją opowieść o mieście. Ambitny Kraków, bliski ludziom, pozostaje moim marzeniem i celem mojej pracy. Ta kampania się kończy. Nasza praca dla Krakowa trwa. 🇵🇱 #Kraków #wybory #samorząd

Analitycy ISW przedstawili możliwy scenariusz ograniczonego rosyjskiego wtargnięcia do Estonii, koncentrując się na Narwie, gdzie Rosja mogłaby użyć dezinformacji i dronów do wywołania kryzysu politycznego w NATO, z zamiarem podważenia wiarygodności artykułu 5. Sojuszu. #Estonia #NATO #Rosja
