He predicted that in a year there would be a change of government throughout Poland. #Polska #Wybory2024 #Zmiana #PL (translated)

Andrzej Duda, former President of Poland, in an interview with RMF FM emphasized that he voted for the change in Krakow, pointing to Łukasz Gibała as the only new proposal that gained sufficient support to advance to the second round of the city mayoral elections, and according to exit polls, Gibała won the elections with 61% support. #Kraków #wybory #Gibała (translated)

Szymon Jadczak described the match played at Łazienkowska as humiliating for the Polish league. He wrote that Legia fans learned on this occasion that the club collaborated with the police and officials of Rafał Trzaskowski to harm fans of another team. He accused Dariusz Mioduski, Marcin Herr and other Legia authorities of prioritizing concessions to people who did not want Wisła fans at the match over the principles of sports rivalry. He asked whether such actions could fall under Article 296 of the Penal Code. Jadczak also criticized the president of the PZPN, Cezary Kulesza, accusing him of failing to address a problem that, in his opinion, could have been mitigated by changing and enforcing regulations for three years. He pointed out the lack of guarantees for equal treatment of clubs and poor crisis management by the Ekstraklasa authorities. He also wrote that politicians limited the fight against violence in stadiums to posts on social media, while the services and officials subordinate to them made decisions favorable to the perpetrators. The author accused sports journalists of not verifying information and repeating the Legia’s statement, while a representative from the broadcasting company behaved like a spokesperson for the club instead of seeking the truth. He also criticized Canal Plus for avoiding openly talking about the league's problems. In his opinion, the admiration for Polish football masked its deep issues, which, as he wrote, later reflected in the performance of clubs in European cups and the national team. https://t.co/OE0UzZJ1Em #Ekstraklasa #LegiaWarszawa #Kibice (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)

Zygfryd Czaban wrote that after 21 years, the arrangement in which the political landscape of Poland was shaped by the rivalry between Jarosław Kaczyński and Donald Tusk has come to an end. He assessed that the three presidents — PLK, PBK, and PAD — as well as the four prime ministers, not counting Kaczyński and Tusk, remained in the background in this dispute. According to Czaban, the political conflict has now shifted to the relationship between Tusk and President Nawrocki. The author noted that the scale of the prime minister's attacks on the president indicated that Tusk perceived Nawrocki as the leader of the opposing camp. Czaban did not conclude whether Kaczyński consciously relinquished leadership to the younger politician or if it happened spontaneously. However, he wrote that the change benefited the right, which — in his opinion — currently had young and promising leadership for the future, while on the left-liberal side, no potential leader was in sight. #Polska #Polityka #Zmiany (translated)

The Madam President wrote that the director knocked down the 15-year-old, who then had to apologize, ask for help and a hug, and say that he didn't want to do it. According to the author, the boy was to remain in a juvenile detention center until he turned 18, and the children who lost their mother were to grow up without her. She described the event as a tragedy for two families and a failure of the adults, questioning what led the teenager to stand with a knife and a camera on his head. #KrwawyPiatek #Nożownik #AtakWSzkole #Zawiedliśmy #Zmiana #Bezpieczeństwo (translated)

The Poland News reported that a conflict was escalating between employees and management at Biedronka. According to the report, union representatives highlighted staff shortages, overload of responsibilities, and difficult working conditions; according to them, on some shifts only 2–3 people were working who managed the cash registers and self-service checkouts, as well as maintaining order. The unions demanded, among other things, wage increases, an increase in the number of staff in the stores, and better organization of work. The Poland News added that the September mediation did not lead to an agreement, and the union representatives announced a strike referendum. #Biedronka #strajk #związkiZawodowe (translated)

The author wrote that TVN should not be treated like an ordinary production company, as it is one of the largest media entities in Poland and — as indicated — the media influence the flow of information, public debate, and the informational security of the state. He explained that the station is subject to a statutory mechanism for controlling investments concerning protected entities, which allows the state to assess whether a change of ownership could threaten public order or security. He noted that the transaction was not blocked, and the minister was supposed to evaluate it. He added that the fact that both the seller and the buyer are American companies does not negate Poland's interest in who controls a large television station operating on its territory. #media #Polska #TVN (translated)

Karol Michalak wrote that in his opinion Legia did not appreciate the struggle of the Wisła community against systemic discrimination, which it had been conducting for the past few years. He claimed that the actions of the clubs were being verified, mainly by Lysypokrakowska, and false information was being corrected. He added that Legia was not much different in this respect from clubs in lower leagues. He reminded that recently it was close to relegation and assessed that organizationally it presented first-league aspirations. As examples, Michalak mentioned situations concerning Wisła fans. He wrote that Motor Lublin justified its decision with safety concerns, although in the justification it described the behaviors of Górnik Łęczna. In the case of Górnik Łęczna, the club referred, according to him, to a decision by the mayor, who allegedly denied having made it and stated that he did not see a problem. Michalak also stated that GKS Tychy explained its decision by renovation and mourning for the death of the pope, but after a delegate's visit, they were ordered to play the match. Chrobry was said to have referred to a police opinion, which — as the author reported — declared to ensure safety. Kotwica Kołobrzeg also indicated a police opinion, but it supposedly communicated that the club did not ask for it and issued none. Miedź did not consult the police for an opinion, and the police were said to have concluded that Wisła fans should be let in. Regarding Stal Stalowa Wola, Michalak wrote that the club referred to the position of the police, which denied having issued a recommendation. Stal Rzeszów allegedly spoke of a police opinion, although it did not evaluate the ban. Wisła Płock justified its decision with safety concerns, but the police reportedly conveyed that the club did not ask for their opinion. Śląsk referred to talks with the police, which publicly denied the information provided. The author also reminded that GKS Tychy justified another decision with a breakdown after a downpour, even though in the meantime they played a home match. Pogoń Siedlce pointed to a turnstile malfunction, and Wisła was said to have proposed a self-repair; later the reason was changed to safety concerns. The police were said to have assured that they would guarantee safety. Arka referred to renovations coinciding with the match against Wisła, despite a 75-day break between competitions. Stal Mielec justified its decision with renovation, and the city reportedly assured it would be completed before the match, after which the decision was changed. Michalak summarized that Wisła fans were collectively denied entry to matches 31 times and wrote that Legia found itself in this group. #Wisła #Legia #dyskryminacja (translated)

Zygfryd Czaban found the panic surrounding the matter amusing. He wrote that television has a regular audience that a buyer could lose if they changed the station's profile. He added that even in such a case, journalists and viewers might go elsewhere, just as was to happen after the profile change of TVP Info three years earlier. Czaban also stated that television is a dying medium for retirees. #telewizja #media #opinie (translated)
