Paweł Żuchowski wrote that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuels in connection with the oil agreement between Washington and Moscow has faced criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of making a "deal with the devil" to save his declining political ratings. Republican Congressman Don Bacon expressed hope that Ukraine would continue to destroy Russian diesel production capabilities. He also called on Trump to use the Lindsey Graham Act, which aimed to strengthen sanctions on Russia. Bacon accused the president of providing the dictator with money instead of using sanctions to weaken the Russian war machine while it continues to attack and kill Ukrainian civilians. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also urged the use of the Graham Act. She stated that discussions about Russia's return to global energy markets should only take place after the war ends, and until then, sources of its funding and supplies should be cut off. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that he would put a bipartisan bill blocking all purchases of Russian oil to a vote in the House of Representatives. He predicted that it would be passed by an overwhelming majority. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence wrote on X on Saturday that lifting sanctions in the face of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets was incomprehensible and constituted a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He added that the U.S. should not support the Russian war machine. Pence also stated that Vladimir Putin wants to take over Ukraine, and its conquest could lead to Russian forces crossing another border and clashing with American soldiers. He called on Trump to reverse the decision. #Trump #Rosja #Ukraina (translated)

Magda wrote that she raised the issue of Kołodziejczak in response to demands from the right. She expressed hope that women had filed a report with the prosecutor's office and reminded that Kołodziejczak had been suspended from club membership. She stated that any request to lift his immunity should go to a vote, and if there are grounds for accusations, he should hear them. She added that she would not present the matter as a conspiracy, political revenge, provocation, or an attack on democracy. #Kołodziejczak #polityka #demokracja (translated)

Katarzyna Pełczyńska wrote that the Sejm voted to prohibit the night sale of alcohol and its advertising. She reminded that a year earlier in Warsaw, a resolution on this matter was withdrawn from the city council's agenda, despite — as she assessed — clear support from residents in public consultations. According to her, PL2050 and Municipal Movements had to protest to achieve the adoption of the ban, which is in effect throughout Warsaw and has reduced the number of small bottles and night disturbances in the streets. Pełczyńska added that two weeks earlier, the national law project disappeared from the Sejm just before the vote, and its return required further protests. She expressed satisfaction with the adoption of the regulations and assured that they would be effective. She also asked why actions for citizens often encounter "strange circumstances" in the final stretch and require a ruckus. #alkohol #Sejm #Warszawa (translated)

Łukasz Warzecha pointed out the vote on the part implementing the DSA, which — as he wrote — allowed for easy censorship in administrative procedures.

The author of the entry informed that he has addressed the Sejm to vote on the second digital law during the current session.

The author of the entry informed that the committee for abortion projects accepted two proposals: one regarding the decriminalization of assistance in abortion and the other repealing the ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal from 2020, which he described as disgraceful.

The author of the entry announced that the next day a vote would take place on the act concerning the social security of artists, which he stated he had been advocating for since the beginning of his parliamentary work. He appealed to all women and men in parliament, including the Union of the Center, to support the bill, describing it as the "Polish national interest." #Posełodkultury https://t.co/JZCRbkL86V #sztuka #polityka #głosowanie #PL (translated)

Michał Drewnicki stated in a statement before the second round of presidential elections in Kraków that there is no ideal candidate, and voting for Monika Piątkowska would mean a return to power that the residents had previously dismissed. #Kraków #wybory2023 #prezydentKrakowa (translated)

The author accused Marcin Przydacz of inconsistency in his statements about who decided on Donald Tusk's assumption of the office of Prime Minister. He wrote that after Mateusz Morawiecki's government failed to secure a vote of confidence, the Sejm elected Tusk in a constitutional parliamentary procedure, and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Szymon Hołownia had no power to transfer to him. The author stated that by Przydacz's logic, one could argue that Hołownia also decided on the assumption of office by Karol Nawrocki because he convened the National Assembly and enabled the swearing-in. However, he pointed out that in Nawrocki's case, he saw a constitutional problem related to the validity of the elections, the handling of protests, the determination of the validity of the election, and the swearing-in despite objections. He assessed that Hołownia's decision had constitutional significance in this matter. The author also rejected the accusation that Kosiniak-Kamysz prioritized party interests over state interests, claiming that Przydacz equated the interests of the state with preventing Tusk from coming to power. #Polityka #Konstytucja #Debata (translated)

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced early elections, justifying his decision by the need to create a parliamentary majority capable of carrying out reforms, after his minority government lost a vote on a proposal to protect tenants amidst ongoing protests in the country demanding increased housing availability. #Mieszkania #Protesty #Reformy (translated)

Waldemar wrote that more than a year after the second round of the presidential elections, the prosecutor's office was still bringing charges against members of the electoral commissions. According to his post, the District Prosecutor's Office in Siedlce has charged 87 people in the investigation, while in mid-September there were 69. The case concerned unintentional failure to fulfill duties, including incorrect counting of valid and invalid votes and improper preparation of protocols. He noted that the prosecutor's office spoke of harm to the public interest and to candidates Karol Nawrocki and Rafał Trzaskowski. Waldemar indicated that the indictment in the case from Stoczek had already gone to court, and in other parts of the country further instances of assigning one candidate's votes to another were being revealed. In one of the Gdańsk electoral commissions, the protocol was reported to show 585 votes for Nawrocki and 346 for Trzaskowski, while checking the ballots revealed 343 and 583. He also wrote that in October 2026 investigators were still "successively summoning others," and criticized the pace of clarifying the matters, emphasizing the importance of voting for the state. The post was signed with the name Jacek Foga. #wybory #prokuratura #polityka (translated)
