Zbigniew Ziobro

The Polish lower house of parliament (Sejm) decided to lift Zbigniew Ziobro's immunity and forcibly bring him before the Pegasus investigative committee. The PiS MP was summoned for questioning several times.

Smutna informacja, bo zawsze na tych targach wychodziłem z kilkoma nowymi pozycjami książkowymi...

Długo to trwało :)

Rafał Trzaskowski, Mayor of Warsaw, KO candidate for President of the Republic of Poland.

Rafał Trzaskowski won the KO primary election for the President of #Poland. He received 74.75% of the votes. In practice, this may mean the strongest candidate for the next #President (because PiS - as it is unofficially said - wants to put forward Karol Nawrocki).

To taka Wolność połączona :)

Former leader of the populist Palikot Movement #ruchpalikota, Janusz #Palikot, has just lost his 15th-century townhouse in Lublin's Old Town after his alcohol business investment debacle and arrest. It was seized for debt by a loan company from #Poznan. #Poland #populism #politics

My favorite cite from the book of @anneapplebaum.bsky.social - "Twilight of democracy. The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism"

Algorithms were created to keep us online, so they favor emotions, especially anger and fear. (...) Anger becomes a habit. Creating divisions is becoming natural.

Jarosław Kaczyński, president of the Law and Justice party, which ruled Poland for two consecutive terms of Parliament.

The National Electoral Commission (PKW) rejected Law and Justice's (PiS) 2024 financial report due to alleged illegal financial benefits by its electoral committee. PiS may lose public funding for three years, amounting to over 75 million PLN. #poland #politics #lawandjustice #party

Ex-Minister of sports - Kamil Bortniczuk (PiS)

NIK notified prosecutors of ex-Minister Kamil Bortniczuk's (PIS) alleged misuse of power in approving PLN 186M funding for a Football Assoc. project not meeting criteria. Bortniczuk denies wrongdoing. In January, the decision was annulled. The project was estimated at PLN 400M. #poland #politics

No. Rather, he is trying to shine in the political firmament.

Donald Tusk comments on Scholz- Putin phone call: No one can stop Putin with phone calls. “Phone diplomacy” is no substitute for real support for Ukraine.”

I tyle mamy z zapewnień Putina, że pokój jest możliwy. A może im po prostu komórki padły i nie zdążyli sobie przekazać, że czas skończyć już z tą wojną, bo w Rosji nie ma już kto prowadzić pociągi z towarami z Chin...?

Jarosław Kaczyński (PiS), Sławomir Mentzen (Confederation) and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz (PSL).

Łukasz Rzepecki, advisor to President Andrzej Duda, said he believes PiS, PSL, and Confederation can agree on a single center-right candidate for the presidential election. He added that such a candidate, focused on Polish interests, would undoubtedly win. #politics #poland #presidentelection

Cóż - prawicowe media X-em stoją. Bo treści są memiczne i łatwo się z nich tworzy emocjonalne nagłówki / paski.

Anne Applebaum (Radosław Sikorski's wife) and Agata Kornhauser-Duda (Poland's First Lady). Kornhauser-Duda is the least socially engaged and the most rarely publicly speaking wife of a president.

The right accuses Radek Sikorski's wife of not speaking Polish as a potential First Lady. The Civic Coalition counters, saying she might not, but at least she’ll speak English, unlike the current First Lady, who has remained silent for years. It’s a point that’s hard to argue with. #poland #politics

Screen from morning tv show in Polsat News - "Śniadanie Rymanowskiego"

S. Tyszka of Confederation criticized Tusk, claiming he is ignored by Western leaders and relied "childishly" on Scholz's phone. He stressed Poland's key role in aiding Ukraine and argued it must avoid involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war, saying only Mentzen as president could ensure this. #poland

Jeśli tylko sami nad nią zapanujemy - to czemuż by nie :)

Super! Miło, że Pana widzę w tej nie "elonomusk-owej" przestrzeni :) Zapraszam do siebie na polską politykę po angielsku! PS. Nawet mieliśmy okazję porozmawiać już w moim internetowym programie :)

"PM Donald Tusk's poll clearly reflects the mood. On Friday, we’ll win the primaries. In May, we’ll triumph together," said Sikorski, referring to an online poll published by the PM. The poll, on Civic Coalition primaries for next year's presidential candidate, shows Sikorski in the lead. #politics

Of course it's poll results of Instytut Badań Pollster for „Super Expressu" newspapers. :)

Support for Political Parties in Polls (October vs November) in Polish Parlament.

The chart compares October and November poll results for Polish #political #parties. @pisorgpl.bsky.social leads with 34.3%, up from 31.4%. KO rose slightly to 32.32%. Konfederacja remains stable at 13.51%. Trzecia Droga and Nowa Lewica saw declines, dropping to 7.68% and 5.82%, respectively.

prof. Paweł Czarnecki, Former Rector of Collegium Humanum

Czarnecki, former rector of Collegium Humanum, was released after paying 2 million PLN bail. He was subjected to bans and police supervision. Rector arrest is the result of the MBA diploma trade scandal. The scandal heavily burdens PiS and selected politicians from other parties. #politics #poland

Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski with his wife Anne Applebaum, an American journalist with the Pulitzer Prize.

According to Radek Sikorski, PiS is desperate to maintain the last bridgehead, which is the Presidential Palace. As the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs points out, this is why KO needs a candidate who will be able to combine "both liberal and conservative sensibilities". #poland #politics

Aleksander Kwaśniewski, Former President of Poland

According to the former president of Poland, it is not time for a woman president. Political realities indicate that a woman currently has little chance of winning the presidential elections in Poland. #kwasniewski #presidentofpoland #politics #poland

Jacek Sutryk, Mayor of Wrocław, Poland

The arrest of the mayor of Wrocław by the CBA in the Collegium Humanum affair may be the beginning of problems for the Civic Coalition (KO). But his arrest also destroys the @pisorgpl.bsky.social narrative about political prisoners of Donald Tusk's "regime". #poland #politics #polandpolitics

Former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki (Law and Justice Party)

Law and Justice has not yet announced its candidate for the presidential election. But pollsters indicate that the candidate may not be former Minister of Education Przemysław Czarnek, but neither may it be IPN Chief Karol Nawrocki. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki may be the candidate.

Radosław Sikorski, Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that his rival for the Polish presidency (Rafał Trzaskowski) was OK in 2020. But now we need someone who can cope better with the new political realities. It is the only country in the world that has an attacker and an attacker next to each other.
