Jakub Balcerzak wrote that Laurent Tillie, the French coach of the Japanese national team, was very satisfied with the 2026 national team season. According to Balcerzak, Tillie described it as one of the most demanding in history: it lasted nearly six months, and Japan competed in different lineups on three fronts. Balcerzak reported that Japan finished fourth in the 2026 Nations League, won the Asian Championship, and claimed silver at the Asian Games. Tillie appreciated the entire team's performance, and qualifying for the Olympics was supposed to allow the team to prepare more freely for the tournament in Los Angeles. As Balcerzak wrote, Japan aimed for the best possible result at the 2027 World Championship in Poland and dreamed of a medal. He noted that the team's best result at the World Championships in this century was eighth place, achieved 20 years earlier on home soil. #MWCH2027 #siatkówka #Japonia #sport (translated)

Piegziu wrote that over the past 15 years he has visited more than 40 countries and in nearly every one of them, food service largely relied on immigrants. This phenomenon — as he assessed — was becoming increasingly visible and had also reached Japan, where in some restaurants job offers for waiters had been hanging for months, despite good salaries and a lack of interest from students. The author found the accusations absurd that immigrants take jobs from locals, are favored by entrepreneurs, or replace better workers. He also described a conversation with the owner of a Japanese restaurant who wanted to hire a young Japanese person as a shift manager for several waiters. The salary was to be comparable to that of a specialist with an education or a skilled worker. Ultimately, the owner hired a Thai person, whom Piegziu assessed as "100 times" more articulate and capable than the Japanese candidates. #imigranci #gastronomia #praca (translated)
Grzegorz Braun assessed that the PRZEkanał material about his conversations with representatives of India unjustifiably suggested that economic cooperation was intended to bring in workers to Poland. He assured that the Confederation of the Polish Crown had not undertaken and did not plan to undertake actions for the immigration of foreigners. He accused the authors of the material of editing it in a way that supported a preconceived thesis. Braun wrote that the conversations with representatives of India took place on February 18, 2026, in the European Parliament, and the KKP described them publicly several months earlier. According to him, the goal of the planned Polish-Indian Economic Forum "Strictly Business - Fifty/Fifty" was to find sectors with high potential and launch investment projects. He added that the recording contained his explanation that the initiative was intended to link Polish entrepreneurs with foreign partners, and not to concern immigration policy. Braun reminded that according to GUS data for 2025, Poland sold goods to India worth 1.4 billion euros and bought goods worth 4.3 billion euros, which indicated a deficit of nearly 3 billion euros. He wrote that the KKP wanted to increase Polish exports to India, not bring in workers from there. Referring to the section about employment agencies, he quoted a statement by Dominik Chmielewski, who reportedly said that agencies — Polish, Ukrainian, or from other countries — would not take part in the event. Braun accused PRZEkanał of drawing conclusions from incomplete fragments of conversations, which, in his opinion, the recordings did not support. #Polska #biznes #imigracja (translated)

Jakub Balcerzak assessed that the collaboration between Vital Heynen and the Chinese national team may come to an end after an unsuccessful season and that he cannot imagine both sides wanting to continue it. He pointed out that China finished last in the VNL 2026 regular season, achieved only one victory throughout the season, and was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Asian Championships — which he described as one of the worst results in Chinese volleyball history at this event. Balcerzak also recalled that the team did not win a medal at the Asian Games, losing the bronze medal match to Pakistan. He added that China has lost many points in the FIVB ranking and did not qualify for the 2027 World Championships, which — he noted — will be the first World Championships without China since 1990. #podsiatka #siatkówka #VNL #MistrzostwaAzji (translated)
