As expected, Prime Minister Tusk quickly picked up on the topic of the Financial Times material about the Venezuelan "adventures" of the Dubai-Hong Kong intermediary of the Swiss company Orlen, which is costing the Polish company gigantic amounts of money, trying to connect the case with (translated)

If this were confirmed and the Republicans lost the governorship in Texas, it would be a political atom bomb dropped on the GOP. (translated)

I am commenting on the issue of the Kremlin-Caribbean wedding of Donald Trump Jr., the costs of which were partially covered by an oligarch close to Putin, Umar Kriemliew, who also hosted part of the event: Don Jr.'s wife, Bettina, immediately issued a statement in which she said, "our (translated)

The Republican candidate for the position of head of the Texas Railroad Commission - a regulatory body playing a crucial role in the oil industry - gained worldwide "fame" with a post attacking students at the University of Texas based on the color of their skin.

The holidays passed under the sign of the scandal at the Southern Hospital and troubles for the government. The new political season starts with a narrative bomb exploding in the hands of PiS and the president - a new chapter of the Zondacrypto scandal. And for now, PiS seems narratively helpless. (translated)

Even Trump is more progressive on issues like same-sex marriage than the Polish right. In Western European countries, some things that are considered "leftist" here are accepted by parties functioning as far-right, which adopt a more liberal stance. (translated)

So what is "zero 800 plus for foreigners"? How will it affect the integration of migrant children in Poland? (translated)

Wraca pomysł jednej listy obozu rządowego na wybory, jako kontry dla możliwej jednej listy prawicy pod patronatem prezydenta, do której budowy ma namawiać Karola Nawrockiego PJK. Czy to ma sens? Na pewno jakaś przebudowa list będzie nieunikniona. Obecny układ po stronie rządowej #wybory #rząd #polityka

So Berek is going to the Constitutional Tribunal after all. This is not a good decision from any perspective: substantive, good manners, what was agreed upon with the elections, relations with the coalition. And it's not very clear how Berek, given all the doubts, would fix the Constitutional Tribunal and restore its role as a court. (translated)

If the information about Romanowski in Transnistria were true, PiS would definitely have the biggest problem. [...] The incompetence that can be attributed to the government side is an offense of incomparably smaller caliber than fleeing to a separatist republic controlled by. (translated)

In the pages of Newsweek, you will find my interview with @AleksanderOlech, one of the authors of the report on Russia's hybrid attacks on Poland: For Russia, a strategic success is also to sow discord between Poland and Ukraine, turning these countries against each other. If someone had told Putin in (translated)

That's true, but it's hard to say that the situation where women lose their constitutional right to abortion does not worsen their legal situation. (translated)

The ruling stated that the right to abortion is not a constitutional right. This is a tightening of abortion regulations, the effect of which was not only what you wrote, but also a restriction on access to procedures in many states. (translated)

Another announcement and cancellation of attacks on Iran sets the rhythm of 2026 like changing months. Will it last until the end of Trump's term? (translated)

The fall of a rocket in Lublin shortly after the visit of the President of Ukraine to the capital of this region should act as a wake-up call for us and remind us of the stakes of the fight of the Ukrainians and how much it concerns us. Because in the last few months, if not longer, (translated)

Tusk just told the ministers to improve the short-term rental law to "give communities real tools," "you went along the line of least resistance." He also asked Siemoniak to check if there was any lobbying. The only question is why the government didn't do this from the outset. (translated)
