The author of the entry accused Bogucki of attacking the government, the prime minister, and ministers after declaring the need to end the political war, and then criticized the sitting Marshal of the Sejm. As he wrote, Bogucki referred to him as a "blemish on Polish democracy," undermined his right to hold this office, and accused him of disrespect. The author also reminded that Bogucki presented himself, Nawrocki, and the Presidential Chancellery as democrats and statesmen. He considered the way Nawrocki exercised his office as the main blemish on democracy. He assessed that the president constantly participated in the political dispute, publicly attacked those in power, and exacerbated conflicts between state bodies while simultaneously calling on others to end the dispute. He noted that this was his private opinion and wrote that he did not take sides in the party conflict but evaluated the matter from the perspective of the state and its institutions. He announced that he would remind Bogucki and Nawrocki of their subsequent statements about responsibility and calming the dispute. In the end, he asked to send regards to Przydacz. #PolskaDemokracja #WojnaPolityczna #Polityka (translated)

The author of the entry accused Bogucki, head of Nawrocki's office, of re-publishing a fragment of Nawrocki's speech from Stargard on October 2nd on October 6th. He pointed out that the day before, Nawrocki had said in his message that he did not want "an ongoing political war," and the following day blamed Donald Tusk's government for public finance problems and stated that the government was indebting Poles by 900 million zł daily, while every day "2000 apartments" were being lost. The author questioned these calculations. He wrote that 900 million zł daily would mean about 328.5 billion zł annually, while the maximum budget deficit for 2026 is noted to be 271.7 billion zł, or about 744 million zł daily. He added that according to data from the Ministry of Finance, the debt of the sector of government and local government institutions according to EU methodology increased in the first half of 2026 by 263.2 billion zł, which—he calculated—would be about 1.45 billion zł daily on average. He asked what category of debt, methodology, and period the 900 million zł figure referred to. Referring to the 2000 apartments daily, the author calculated that at the amount of 900 million zł, it would mean 450,000 zł per apartment. He assessed such a comparison as lacking economic value without indicating which state expenditures should be limited or what revenues should be increased. He noted that a deficit means that expenditures exceed revenues, and the expenditures funded by it include, among others, defense, benefits, healthcare, investments, and debt service. The author also questioned Nawrocki's statement that Tusk's government indebted Poles by 1 trillion zł within four years. He reminded that the government was appointed on December 13, 2023, and by the day of the speech in Stargard, on October 2, 2026, it had not even been in power for three full years. He added that the statement could refer to a forecast for four years, but—as he pointed out—Nawrocki did not present it as a forecast. #Polska #Polityka #FinansePubliczne (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)

The author of the post criticized Marcin Przydacz for presenting his own account of the behind-the-scenes negotiations as an established fact. He wrote that Przydacz should prove that Radosław Sikorski agreed to withdraw Bogdan Klich, that another candidate was agreed upon for the position in Washington, and that Donald Tusk personally blocked the agreement. He added that the source of this version so far has mainly been Przydacz and the Chancellery of the President, and he assessed the credibility of Przydacz's information as variable. The author referenced Article 133, paragraph 1, point 2 of the Constitution, concerning the appointment and dismissal of representatives of the Republic of Poland, and Article 133, paragraph 3, which — as he wrote — provides for the cooperation of the president with the prime minister and the relevant minister in foreign policy. He added that according to Article 146, paragraph 1, it is conducted by the Council of Ministers, and the president does not independently direct foreign policy or foreign affairs. The writer also noted that Karol Nawrocki's proposal for Sikorski to consider Nikodem Rachoń did not imply that his candidacy was agreed upon. He described the assertion that Sikorski either accepted Rachoń or lied as a false alternative. He demanded that Przydacz provide the name of the agreed candidate for the position in Washington and the basis for the claim that Tusk personally blocked the agreement. #Polska #Polityka #Konsytucja (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 author of the entry agreed with Fogiel that Poles should choose their authorities, but called for the consistent application of this principle. He pointed to the presidential elections of 2025 and questioned the method of constitutional verification of their results. He recalled that Article 129 of the Constitution, as he wrote, guarantees voters the right to submit protests, and the election oversight should be conducted in a procedure that meets constitutional standards. He stated that 55,274 protests had been submitted to the Supreme Court. He also claimed that the National Electoral Commission indicated the need to address the protests and to determine the validity of the election by a Supreme Court panel whose institutional and personal status would not raise doubts. According to the author, the Electoral Commission recorded recurring errors in the protocols of some polling stations and called for a more thorough analysis of their causes. The author emphasized that the validity of the election was determined by the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs, whose status as a court established by law—as he noted—remained a subject of dispute. He added that proceedings regarding irregularities in vote counting were still ongoing. He mentioned cases of incorrect assignment of votes to candidates, allegations against commission members, and acts of accusation. He stated that in one of the cases, the prosecutor accused 24 commission members of dishonestly counting votes and preparing protocols. He noted that he did not claim that a change in the overall election result had been proven. As he wrote, the prosecutor is examining individual commissions separately, which allows establishing what happened in a specific commission but does not determine the overall scale of irregularities in the country. According to the author, it cannot be assumed that the errors confirmed in successive commissions could not be significant in a cumulative sense until their scale has been established. The author considered that the mere assertion that Poles elected a president does not end the discussion about the integrity of the elections. He asked whether all votes were counted correctly, whether the protests were addressed in accordance with constitutional requirements, and whether the body stating the validity of the election met the Supreme Court's standard required by Article 129. He also wrote that Speaker Szymon Hołownia was aware of these doubts, yet convened the National Assembly, allowing the office to be assumed. He emphasized, however, that he could not say that politicians chose a president instead of citizens, because it was Poles who voted. #wybory #Polska #konstytucja (translated)

The author r00t accused Zbigniew Bogucki of using harsh rhetoric against the government of Donald Tusk and Andrzej Domański a day after calling for an end to the "political war." As he wrote, Bogucki allegedly stated that politicians are destroying the achievements of 36 years of work by Polish men and women. The author considered this inconsistent with the earlier call to lower the temperature of the dispute. r00t also questioned Bogucki's claim that in four years, Tusk's government has indebted Poles by 1 trillion złotys. He reminded that the government was sworn in on December 13, 2023, and by October 2026, not even four full years or even three full years had passed. According to the data he cited, the debt of the government and local government sector measured by EDP methodology was about 1.691 trillion złotys at the end of 2023 and about 2.598 trillion złotys at the end of the second quarter of 2026, which meant an increase of about 907 billion złotys. He pointed out that it was a significant increase, but he called on Bogucki to specify the category of debt, the period, and the reference point if he was talking about a trillion. The author also addressed the statement that everyone pays 26,000 złotys. He wrote that dividing the public debt by the number of residents gives a per capita calculation, but it does not mean each citizen has a personal obligation of that amount. He added that he was not defending the government but intended to remind Bogucki of his earlier words and demanded the application of the same standards of accuracy and accountability for words towards everyone. #Polska #polityka #długpubliczny (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that the only established information was that Radosław Sikorski demanded a note regarding the conversation between Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Donald Trump. In his opinion, the request for the note alone did not prove that Kosiniak-Kamysz did not inform the government about the conversation, did not trust Sikorski, or doubted Bogdan Klich's competence. The author accused Marcin Przydacz of presenting such interpretations and the suggestion of "some game" as conclusions drawn from the facts. He stated that building the message about the political conflict in this way constitutes manipulation of public opinion and is unbecoming of an employee of the Chancellery of the President. He called on Przydacz to provide evidence for his claims. #fakty #polityka #manipulacja (translated)

The author of the entry accused Marcin Przydacz of presenting the regulation on the presidential appointment and dismissal of plenipotentiary representatives of the Republic of Poland without considering the other constitutional principles. He pointed out that Article 146 of the Constitution entrusts the conduct of foreign policy to the Council of Ministers, while Article 133 sec. 3 obliges the president to cooperate in this matter with the prime minister and the relevant minister. He also cited the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal in the case Kpt 2/08, which — as he wrote — stated that the president does not have the competence to conduct or generally direct foreign policy. He added that the formal dismissal of an ambassador by the president does not mean that the minister of foreign affairs lacks competence regarding the organization of the foreign service or that the president can independently shape the personnel policy of diplomatic missions. The author reminded that in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcement from March 2024, it was mentioned that the missions of ambassadors were ending and the procedure for their dismissal was commencing, and not that the minister had made their constitutional dismissal. He accused Przydacz of presenting the minister's actions as contrary to law based on a single element of the dispute. He emphasized that Przydacz could criticize Radosław Sikorski's actions or the way the changes were conducted, but he should — according to the author — present a complete constitutional model. #Konstytucja #Polityka #Prawo (translated)

The author of the entry, addressing Kasia Actus and Marcin Przydacz, wrote that he received proof that at least Przydacz reads something. He added that he considered it an honor to belong to a club where — as he stated — there are extraordinary individuals. #klub #osobistości #zaszczyt (translated)

The author of the post thanked Marcin Przydacz for the special distinction and wrote that he feels obliged by it. He stated that the block will not change his actions: he still intends to tag Przydacz and show the Polish and foreign public his manipulations, untrue assertions, and messages that do not withstand confrontation with facts. He added that he accepts the block as a response to correcting Przydacz's statements, but emphasized that facts cannot be blocked. #polityka #manipulacja #dyskurspubliczny (translated)

The author of the entry accused Bogucki of manipulating the message about Nawrocki's decisions and questioned the claim that each of them stemmed solely from concern for Poles. He pointed out that political calculations, ideological disputes, and his own strategy could also stand behind the vetoes. He requested clarification on, among other things, the veto against the wind farm bill combined with solutions concerning energy prices, and then the presentation of his own project containing some of those solutions; the veto against the SAFE act regarding financing security and defense; and the referral of the act on extraordinary profits of fuel companies to the Constitutional Tribunal. He also asked about the vetoes against laws about the active farmer, the principles of practicing the profession by some doctors from outside the EU, the status of a close person, regulations of the cryptocurrency market — which were vetoed twice — and the amendment of the so-called Lex Kamilek. The author noted that Nawrocki had the right to use the veto power and conduct his own policy, although he still had fundamental doubts about the constitutional basis of his office's functioning. In his opinion, however, it was necessary to openly discuss the political, constitutional, economic, ideological, and strategic motives behind decisions, rather than presenting one's own actions as serving Poland, while portraying the government's actions as blackmail or a political game. He compared such a narrative to Trump's politics, where — as he wrote — one's own actions are presented as the state's interest, while opponents' actions are depicted as betrayal or blackmail. He added that Poland's system differed from the system of the United States and emphasized that he had provided just a few examples, without a detailed analysis of subsequent vetoes, laws, and statements. #Polska #polityka #demokracja (translated)

The author of the entry assessed that the speech calling for an end to the political war was manipulated and shifted the responsibility for the conflict onto the government. He claimed that for months Bogucki, Nawrocki, and their surroundings undermined the actions of the government and attacked the prime minister and ministers, and then presented themselves as supporters of calming the dispute. The author called such a message propaganda and accused its creators of erasing their own role in escalating the conflict. He also announced that he would remind Bogucki and Nawrocki of this statement during future appeals for responsibility and an end to the political war. He explained that he criticizes the right, Nawrocki's entourage, and the opposition more often than the government because—as he wrote—most of the statements containing manipulations, half-truths, or propaganda that he encounters come from that side. He added that he does not intend to look for examples of government criticism solely to maintain the appearance of balance, and he understands objectivity as applying the same measure to everyone. #Polska #Polityka #Odpowiedzialność (translated)

The author of the entry questioned Kania's claim about "hundreds of scientific publications" by Karol Nawrocki. He referred to the official IPN biography, according to which Nawrocki wrote seven books and several dozen scientific and journalistic articles, as well as to the biography on the website of the President of Poland, which mentions several dozen scientific and popular science publications. He indicated that Nawrocki's leadership of the Museum of the Second World War and the IPN does not justify, in his opinion, defining these institutions as the largest educational and research facilities in Poland. The author accused Kania of exaggerating Nawrocki's achievements and reducing Radosław Sikorski's accomplishments to his estate in Chobielin and his wife Anne Applebaum. He pointed out Oxford, Sikorski's international activities, and his roles as Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Speaker of the Sejm, and Member of the European Parliament. He added that Sikorski's statement could be criticized, but he did not believe that its history was fabricated. He also criticized Kania for basing the correction on what he called hyperboles and omissions. #nauka #publikacje #Polska (translated)

The author of the post wrote that he had been following the topic of a possible base in Poland and disagreed with the way Nawrocki's entourage, including Przydacz, was presenting the discussions on this matter. According to the author, on September 29, a reporter asked Donald Trump about the base, and he replied that he likes Poland and that Poland has a good president. When the question was asked again on October 1, Trump was said to have stated that the matter is being considered and may come to fruition. When asked about the lack of a final decision, he stated that he may have already made it, after which he again expressed sympathy for Poland. The author also recalled that on September 17, Trump spoke of significant progress but cautioned that the base would only be established if it comes to that. According to the author, these statements did not indicate an agreed-upon decision. He accused Nawrocki's entourage of presenting the mere fact of discussions almost as if it were an achieved result and emphasized that the conversation was not yet a result. #Polska #Trump #Polityka (translated)

The author called on Nawrocki to determine what values are being summed before speaking about the "trillion in debt." He wrote that budget deficits from subsequent years are not equivalent to the same increase in public debt, and urged for a discussion based on concrete indicators rather than a politically loaded figure. #finanse #długpubliczny #deficyt (translated)

The author of the post accused Bogucki of publishing similar phrases about Tusk, the numbers 5.19, lies, inflation, and the dissatisfaction of Poles several times a day for a few days. He claimed that Bogucki did not respond to the data, calculations, legal grounds, and counterarguments presented under the posts, but later posted subsequent versions of the same message, which the author deemed extremely manipulated. The author also criticized Bogucki for speaking on behalf of Poles and compared his communication style to one-sided radio propaganda, where one message was repeated without dialogue and space for inconvenient facts. He suggested that Bogucki ask historian Dr. Karol Nawrocki about the source of this association. He also asked whether this should be the way of communication for someone representing the Office of the President and wrote that Bogucki should sometimes listen to society. #Polska #Polityka #Komunikacja (translated)

The author criticized the former prime minister for sharing—what he deemed—a manipulated post without verifying the photo. He wrote that the photograph originated from Bordeaux on September 29 and depicted a firefighter who was engulfed in flames after an aerosol explosion on a barricade during protests by high school students. According to the author, the firefighter was hospitalized and then discharged the same day; there was no attack on the firefighter. The author noted that the photo proved nothing about migrants or their children, and the emotional description and the word "Yes!" from the prime minister gave the message its own momentum. He stated that he expected a minimum level of verification from the former head of government and accused him of believing the message just like those commenting on his post. He concluded with the word "Shame." #Polityka #Media #FakeNews (translated)

The author of the entry r00t, who stated that he lives in France, noted that there have been serious protests by high school students in the country, and in some cities, there was violence, school burnings, and clashes with the police. However, he pointed out that he had not seen credible data supporting the thesis of a coordinated action by Muslim and African immigrants. According to the author, such a narrative has been spread by, among others, Javier Negre, a Spanish commentator and media entrepreneur. r00t wrote that media connected to Negre had been repeatedly criticized for spreading disinformation, and the message was subsequently echoed by right-wing politicians in France. He called for checking sources before further disseminating this information. #Francja #protesty #dezinformacja (translated)

The author of the post addressed Leśkiewicz, suggesting that he would not want his economic knowledge to be commented on similarly. He wrote that the prime minister does not need to be an expert in every field, as individual areas are overseen by ministers, and the government also makes use of expert backgrounds. He added that a similar division of competencies applies in the Presidential Chancellery, of which Leśkiewicz is a member. The author reminded that the role of the prime minister is to direct the work of the government, ensure the implementation of the Council of Ministers' policies, and coordinate and oversee the work of its members. He assessed that Leśkiewicz's post, which was meant to indicate the prime minister's lack of knowledge, rather evidenced the author's misunderstanding of the principles of state functioning and the division of competencies. He added that jokes about the topography of Warsaw contribute little from the perspective of governance and the exercise of executive power. Finally, he asked what purpose is served by publishing such posts on social media. #Polityka #Ekonomia #Rząd (translated)
