Jan Betlach claimed that the official list of the dead from Gaza also included Palestinian assailants killed during the attack on October 7, although he stated that they died in Israel. He noted that 364 attackers were identified by name, and 80% of them appeared on the list. Betlach further wrote that of the 91 identified bodies that Israel returned to Gaza after the ceasefire, most belonged to assailants killed in Israel on October 7. According to him, about a third of them were already on the list before the bodies were returned. He also claimed that in Gaza, it was enough to report a presumed death without providing the body or its location. The website Genocide in Gaza (Gigaza) documented at least 68 of these men according to Betlach, stating that they died in airstrikes in Gaza. Betlach argued that Israel had possession of their bodies and that, according to the website’s own data, most died on October 7, when there were no Israeli soldiers in Gaza. He added that Gigaza listed airstrikes as the cause of death for 94% of approximately 50,000 documented fatalities, and therefore questioned the reliability of its data. #Gaza #Izrael #konflikt (translated)

The Sports Channel reported that Jarosław Królewski criticized the commentators of the match between Legia and Wisła. Gikiewicz pointed out that a bottle of Jägermeister flew onto the field and asked how the president would have reacted if a glass bottle had hit a Wisła player. Królewski stated that similar situations in other countries ended with a forfeit. He accused the commentators of not objectively discussing the incident with the bottle, the situations related to the penalty kick and throw-in, or the behavior of the fans during the broadcast. He also criticized the invitation to the studio of a person he described as a representative of Legia's newspaper. #Legia #Wisła #Komentatorzy (translated)

Patria Prima argued that a rule signed by ANRE on October 9 would allow energy suppliers, starting in 2027, to dismiss complaints if they believe they contain inappropriate language or do not sufficiently describe the situation. The author stated that the rule does not define these terms and leaves the decision to the discretion of the complained firm. As examples, Patria Prima mentioned clients who contest a much larger bill or do not know how to explain why it seems incorrect to them. In the author's opinion, their complaints could be dismissed without the supplier checking the issue. Patria Prima also said that ANRE applies a similar rule to itself from 2024, which would allow the institution to ignore complaints about suppliers. The author claimed that the provision did not appear in the draft submitted for public debate and was introduced in the final form without ANRE specifying who requested it and why. Patria Prima stated that it had filed a complaint with ANRE and requested the cancellation of the rule, and if it is not withdrawn within 30 days, it will go to court. It also urged the public to share the information. #energie #ANRE #facturi (translated)

Robert Kwit wrote that he wanted to apologize to TVN24 for earlier doubts regarding the station's credibility. He ironically described the alleged course of the program "Loża Prasowa," which was supposed to be dedicated to the Kołodziejczak issue. He attributed outrage to Dominika Wielowiejska from "Gazeta Wyborcza," apologies on behalf of liberal journalists to Jacek Gądek from "Newsweek," refusal to comment to Agnieszka Wiśniewska from "Krytyka Polityczna," and a call for Donald Tusk's resignation to Mariusz Janicki from "Polityka." He added that the host Arleta Zalewska allegedly used offensive terms towards Kołodziejczak. Kwit then noted that he was joking: according to him, the participants of the program did not mention the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Tusk's government nor did they devote any moment to the matter. #dziennikarstwo #Polska #lożaprasowa (translated)

The map of European gas suppliers has significantly changed over the past five years due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the need to diversify energy resource sources, which has led to increased LNG imports and a greater role for other suppliers, such as Norway and the USA. #gāze #enerģija #ģeopolitika (translated)

The Institute of Truth wrote that in December 2014, Daniel Obajtek testified as a witness in the trial of Roman and Józef Lis, who were accused of fraudulently obtaining around 200 thousand złoty in EU subsidies. According to the institute, Obajtek denied at that time that he was a silent partner of TT Plast and stated that he owned shares briefly, many years before assuming the office of the mayor of Pcim. He was also said to have testified that as mayor he did not hold any positions in the company nor managed it, and did not collaborate with an employee named Szymon. The institute reminded that in February 2021, "Gazeta Wyborcza" published recordings of conversations from 2009 in which Obajtek allegedly discussed clients, taking over contracts from Elektroplast, and matters concerning TT Plast. The newspaper reported that employees of the company referred to Obajtek as a silent partner. In 2016, Roman Lis filed a report of suspected false testimony and attached recordings. The prosecutor's office refused to initiate an investigation after about a month, finding that there were no signs of a prohibited act. According to the Institute of Truth, Obajtek denied breaking the law, admitted that he had once been a shareholder and knew the owners, but maintained that as mayor he did not work for TT Plast or any other company, and the recordings did not prove a crime. Orlen's office described the publication as a manipulation based on recordings of undetermined integrity. The institute assessed that the testimonies about the lack of professional relations with the company and not managing it did not withstand confrontation with the recordings. #InstytutPrawdy #Obajtek #prawo #korupcja (translated)
