Venek wrote that Biedronka has launched a pilot store called 7BIEK in Siewierz, in the Silesian Voivodeship. According to him, the facility on the Market Square has stopped operating under the traditional network sign and is the first store in Poland where a new format is being tested before a decision is made on its further development. According to Venek, the layout and organization of the sales space and the arrangement of products have been changed. Customers were said to have noticed fewer goods on the shelves, fewer promotions, and a changed promotional booklet. The assortment was to remain familiar from traditional Biedronka stores, and the chain was supposed to assure that attractive regular prices would be maintained. #Biedronka #Siewierz #nowyformat (translated)

The Stock Information published a Sunday summary, stating that Polish diplomats were attacked in Israel, and the USA offered Russia the sale of gas to Europe in exchange for a share in profits. According to the post, riots broke out in large cities of Portugal and Albania and in Milan, while in France they affected 400 cities and indicated a loss of control over the situation. The author cited data from the French Ministry of the Interior about 550,000 demonstrators and AFP about 880,000, also mentioning heatmaps. Among other information, the author noted that 7% of the world's population had cryptocurrencies, homes in the USA were the least affordable in history, deliveries of Abrams tanks to Poland were coming to an end, and Biedronka and Lidl were not once in the top three cheapest stores. He also mentioned that the Kremlin announced the imminent announcement of new USA-Russia agreements, while Elon Musk considered AI and robots the only way to repair the USA. According to the post, Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and three tankers were on fire; Volodymyr Zelensky warned that in the event of Ukraine's collapse, 20 million of its residents would flee to the EU. The author also wrote about the intensifying fighting on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and quoted Pete Hegseth's words about the largest military buildup by China in the Pacific. He asked the audience for their assessment of bottle return machines, and on the occasion of Tie Day, he posted a joke about pasta made from threads. #Świat #Wydarzenia #Polityka (translated)

Kafir wrote that he increasingly considered elitism to be better than democracy, because — as he claimed — in elections the vote of a person with knowledge and experience carries the same weight as the vote of a person without basic competencies. He noted that elitism, in his opinion, did not depend on wealth or education, but on knowledge, reason, and the ability to think independently. He criticized voters who — according to him — assessed economic policy without knowledge of issues such as inflation, budget, or monetary policy. As examples, he referred to people shopping at Lidl and Biedronka, as well as checking purchase prices, and accused some of them of confusing daily savings with the competencies needed to evaluate the state's finances. At the same time, he emphasized that simply looking for cheaper products was not bad. Kafir also criticized politicians who — as he wrote — lacked experience in running businesses or managing budgets, yet held positions that allowed them to decide on significant public expenditures. He accused right-wing groups of citing religion, tradition, and national values while simultaneously supporting strong authority without proper oversight. He argued that appeals to patriotism and religion did not replace the knowledge and competencies necessary to govern the state. He compared the expectations placed on children in their education to the expectations of politicians. He wrote that parents usually required their children to learn math and helped them acquire knowledge, yet some voters — in his opinion — did not expect similar competencies from those seeking power. He compared governing the state to entrusting a ten-year-old child with the household budget without parental control, pointing out that promises of unfunded expenditures could lead to debt. The author accused voters of re-electing politicians despite their mistakes if they promised them more money, and that they rejected criticism as a lack of patriotism. He claimed that some people did not want to check information or analyze arguments and instead trusted loud political messages. In conclusion, he asked why voters demanded education from children but did not require knowledge from politicians before entrusting them with power. He also mentioned the action "7 percent of 460," relating it to the number of deputies, and stated that there were at most 7 percent of wise ones among them. #Demokracja #Elitaryzm #Edukacja (translated)

Diverse Polish stores, including the large chain Biedronka and the children's store Smyk, have decided to remove Halloween accessories such as fake knives from their shelves after a series of stabbings at schools, as they consider this inappropriate under the current circumstances. #Halloween #Polen #veiligheid (translated)

In response to the rising aggression in schools, the retail chains Biedronka and Smyk have withdrawn products related to Halloween from their offerings, including fake knives and costumes, in order to ensure the safety of children and teenagers. #bezpieczeństwo #agresja #szkoły (translated)

It's good that a suspension has taken place. Firstly, Kołodziejczak probably has an addiction problem, a disease, and he should seek treatment. Secondly, a serious crime has occurred, and in this matter, there is full solidarity with these women. We must above all talk about the victims of these acts and expect action from the relevant services, the prosecutor's office – said MEP Robert Biedroń from the Left in RMF FM. #MichałKołodziejczak #KoalicjaObywatelska #przemoc (translated)

The matter looks serious. Very credible materials in the form of recordings have been revealed. A good decision by the KO club. Until clarifications, Kołodziejczak has been removed from the club. Now it's time for the services to clarify this case. I always emphasize that in our country there is a presumption of innocence, so I am also very cautious in my judgments. But a swift clarification is something that surely every Polish woman and every Polish man expects from a politician today – said Krzysztof Paszyk from the Polish People's Party, who was also a guest of Krzysztof Ziemiec on RMF FM. Institutions should, without delay, start clarifying this matter. Paszyk agreed with Biedroń, who emphasized that “institutions should, without delay, start clarifying this matter.” #MichałKołodziejczak #KoalicjaObywatelska #przemoc (translated)

Chrzanik wrote that Robert Biedroń blamed Nawrocki for the knife attack. He cited Biedroń's statement, which connected the current situation with the president's refusal to sign the digital services act, the discussion on gun legalization, and the veto of the student rights bill. Chrzanik used an offensive term towards Biedroń and sarcastically asked whether next time he would attribute to Nawrocki the act of putting a knife in a child's hand and commanding him to commit murder. #Polska #polityka #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Szymon Janus wrote that InPost pays a corporate income tax (CIT) of about 7% of its revenue in Poland, while DHL — in which the German government holds an 18% stake — according to him pays 130,000 PLN, or 0.005%, and DPD — entirely owned by the French government — pays 13.5 million PLN, or 0.27%. Janus criticized the government's plan to raise the CIT for Polish companies, accusing the authorities of not implementing measures to counteract the outflow of money from Poland at the same time. He noted that some foreign corporations do pay taxes in Poland, mentioning Lidl and Biedronka, which — as he stated — contribute nearly 1.5 billion PLN annually. He added that, in his opinion, InPost does not use tools to transfer funds from other countries to Poland, which he considered somewhat regrettable. #CIT #podatki #gospodarka (translated)
