Kacper Kita found it surprising that in Poland the view gaining support is that the country's prosperity should depend on Russia's compliance with the agreement, rather than Norway's. He argued that Russia is not primarily driven by economic calculations and seeks political expansion. In his opinion, the outbreak of war in Ukraine showed that earning from the sale of raw materials was not the most important thing for Vladimir Putin. Kita called achieving independence from Russia one of the more significant accomplishments of the Polish state in recent years. Kita asserted that warnings about high prices of Norwegian gas and a collapse of the European economy after cutting off Russian supplies were spread by lobbyists and politicians opposed to the Baltic Pipe. According to him, the creation of the gas pipeline undermined those predictions. He also criticized attributing Poland's cut-off from Russian gas to Americans, Ukrainians, Jews, or reptilians, labeling such claims as transferring German narratives to the Polish context. He added that Krzysztof Wojczal demonstrated the impossibility of Poland's participation in Nord Stream, citing technical and legal conditions. https://t.co/hXhgXHdD03 #Polska #Rosja #BalticPipe (translated)

From the journey around the world, he wrote that on that day he walked 27 km and stopped for the night by a small tunnel because he wasn't sure if he would find a secluded place to sleep further along. He emphasized that sleep was essential for him. He planned to cover the remaining 44 km to Steinkopf the next day, where according to iOverlander, there was supposed to be a relatively cheap room. If he managed to find it, he wanted to stay there for two nights, rest, do laundry, and buy new shoes or flip-flops. As he added, there was already a hole in the sole of the shoes he bought in Swakopmund. The author wondered whether to go to Cape Agulhas first and then to Cape Town, or to visit Cape Town earlier, apply for a visa extension, and only later head to Cape Agulhas. He wrote that there was little time, and the deadline for leaving for South America seemed tight. For now, he intended to head south and decide later, depending on how much time he had left. He also mentioned that exhaustion from the past week was visible on his face. He hoped to set out the next day at 6:00 am and reach Steinkopf, where he would find a cheap room. He admitted that there were tough days, but he added that after the rain, the sun shines, and jokingly stated that he might need a romance to regain his energy. #podróże #przygoda #wędrówki (translated)

Tusk's political farce is to continue. Problems with fuel, the economy is scraping the bottom, so he tries to divert Poles' attention with his cheap games, but Poles will not be fooled by this. Similarly says Sebastian Kaleta from Law and Justice, a collaborator of Zbigniew Ziobro. #TrybunałStanu #ZbigniewZiobro #AdamGlapiński (translated)

DudekPL4 wrote that Orlen has raised fuel prices again: gasoline 95 by 7 groszy, gasoline 98 by 8 groszy, diesel by 22 groszy, and LPG by 8 groszy. He stated that the government promised cheap fuel after the president signed the law, yet prices continued to rise. #benzyna #paliwo #Orlen (translated)

Katarzyna Sójka accused Donald Tusk's government of manipulating public opinion after the brutal murder of a 37-year-old woman. She claimed that the prime minister directed attention to cybersecurity and the presidential veto to divert it away from issues related to child psychiatry. As she wrote, in the nineteen-minute speech of the head of the government, there were no words concerning psychiatry, therapy, the National Health Fund, or treatment; instead, he spoke about the internet, cybercrime, and blocking content. Sójka assessed that a free support hotline cannot replace systemic care, available spots in hospitals, or pharmacotherapy. She also accused the government of educational sabotage. In her opinion, the offer for children in "100 specifics" was limited to the elimination of homework and the removal of textbooks for the History and Citizenship subject, and the lack of obligations and boundaries negatively affected the development of children. The MP wrote that the Medical Fund, in which — as she reported — 8 billion zlotys were left, was reduced to 2 billion instead of receiving the annual statutory 4 billion. She also claimed that due to the lack of limits in the National Health Fund, children's therapies were interrupted. By comparison, she stated that in 2022 and 2023 her camp allocated nearly 5 billion zlotys for school psychological care and doubled the number of specialists to nearly 43 thousand. She believed that the government was using the topic of cybersecurity to hide its own incompetence. #psychiatria #bezpieczeństwo #edukacja (translated)

See you tomorrow - Shmoo accused Sławomir Mentzen of first using offensive language, then insincerely admitting that he had gone too far, and finally referring to more important matters. The author described it as cheap symmetry and stated that Mentzen's supporters find excuses to justify the vulgar behavior of his colleagues, while the basic principles of culture surpass them. #polityka #kultura #współczesność (translated)

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu stated in the National Assembly that in the protest movement that started in mid-September, 215 students, 85 educational institution staff members, including 34 principals and deputy principals, and 715 police officers have been injured so far. #diáktüntetések #iskolakeresés #Franciaország (translated)

The author wrote that labor rights should also include migrants, which — in his opinion — would limit cheap labor and competition based on lower employment costs. He added that the influx of migrants has always been associated with a disruption of the labor market. #prawapracownicze #migranci #rynekpracy #PL (translated)

"I remind you that it was Donald Tusk in 2023 who claimed that fuel could be 5.19 when it cost around 6 PLN. He also said that 'it's not about maximizing profits, but about maximizing the well-being of Poles.' So what is the final version of the smiling Coalition? And if I am to be held responsible for the fact that Poles - not only in 2023 but also in previous years - paid little for fuel, I will be honored. This is probably the first case in history where the government is held accountable for the fact that Poles filled up cheaply." Former Orlen CEO Daniel Obajtek also commented on the prosecutor's information. #Orlen #paliwa #śledztwo (translated)

The author asked Obajtek whether he had read the prosecutor's statement carefully and suggested that his answer concerned a different matter. He wrote that the proceedings do not relate to the fact that Poles were filling up at low prices, but to specific suspicions of crimes, acting to the detriment of the company, irregularities in management, and decisions made by individuals associated with Orlen. He added that the low price of fuel does not exclude criminal liability nor does it prove proper management of the company. He called on Obajtek to address the accusations and ongoing proceedings. #Orlen #prokuratura #odpowiedzialność (translated)

The ORLEN Press Office alleged that in 2023 the company, without a legal basis and in violation of its own procedures, artificially lowered fuel prices to influence the outcome of the parliamentary elections. According to the office, these actions led to violations of fuel reserves, problems for drivers with refueling, and sales below market prices. ORLEN's losses were estimated at 3.5 billion PLN, and Poland's western neighbors reportedly bought over 80 million liters of fuel in the country at that time. The office claimed that selling below market prices halved the fuel import to Poland. It pointed out that imports covered one third of domestic consumption, and prices in Poland had to follow the quotes of refined fuels in global markets so that importers would not have to sell them cheaper than they bought them. The Polish Organization of the Oil Industry and Trade reported the cessation of imports, and the matter was handled by the prosecutor's office. The office stated that from the beginning of July to the end of September 2023, global diesel prices increased by about 40%, while Poland was the only EU country where fuel prices fell. It also noted that the fuel crisis it described at the time was due to a shortage of refining capacity and the supply of refined fuels, rather than oil prices. #Polska #kryzys #paliwa (translated)

"The goal is for teaching to gradually restart everywhere from Wednesday." The demonstrations affected 589 educational institutions across the country on Monday out of the 3,400 state-run high schools, which is a decrease from 735 on Friday, Minister of Education Edouard Geffray announced during a visit to a high school in Guyancourt, located southwest of Paris. #tüntetések #diákmozgalom #rendőri_erőszak (translated)
