The Warsaw Police published a recording of an intervention on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, which took place on Friday, October 16. According to the police, the footage came from the body camera of one of the officers and showed the course of the event. The police stated that the detained man was initially passive and actively resisted, did not follow commands, refused to provide his personal information or show identification, and then attempted to flee into a building. According to their report, during the arrest he violated the bodily integrity of a policewoman who suffered injuries, received medical assistance, and was taken to the hospital. The police also assessed that the people present in the building hindered the intervention, did not maintain the required distance, and increased the sense of threat. They explained that the publication of the recording was meant to allow the public to familiarize themselves with the course of the event, in connection with the emerging reports and comments which, they claimed, could serve to spread misinformation. #policja #Warszawa #interwencja (translated)

The sense of home referred to a statement by Andris Kulbergs, whom he described as the Prime Minister of Latvia: Kulbergs had stated that a strong Ukraine means a strong Europe, and that drinking less beer could save lives. The sense of home criticized the call to Europeans to drink one less beer to help Ukraine, labeling it as absurd. The author emphasized that Europeans could decide for themselves what and how much they would drink. #Europa #Ukraine #Trinken (translated)

At the EU summit in Brussels, there was a discussion on how Ukraine can survive the upcoming winter of war in the face of dwindling support from the U.S. and massive attacks by Russia on the energy infrastructure, while Latvia's Prime Minister Kulbergs suggested using Russia's frozen assets for financing and emphasized that Europeans should drink one less beer to maintain support. #UkraineHilfe #EUGipfel #Solidarität (translated)

DBerber wrote that the Latvian politician Andris Kulbergs pointed out that supporting Ukraine costs about as much per person per year as forgoing a beer. This would be almost laughable if it weren't so sad, DBerber explained. He also criticized BSW and AfD, accusing them of turning more towards the Kremlin than standing up for freedom. #Solidarität #Sicherheitspolitik #Ukraine #Solidarität #Politik (translated)

Patryk Słowik wrote that the matter did not concern the fault of the addressee or his apologies. He pointed out that he considers him one of the people in the council who take on challenges instead of hiding from them, as — in his opinion — his boss Łukasz did. He added that the addressee and his associates often pointed out that medical matters should not be assessed before their final resolution, which may take "273645 years." He accused him of issuing a judgment this time before even gathering basic information. #samorząd #wyzwania #ocenianie (translated)

The Prime Minister's Office informed that Donald Tusk participated in a meeting of the Friends of Cohesion group in Brussels.

Marcin Przydacz, head of the Office of International Policy, said on Radio Wnet that the president must act in accordance with the Polish constitution and laws. Regarding Maciej Berek, selected as a judge for the Constitutional Tribunal, he noted that until now judges took an oath in the presence of the president, but this time Karol Nawrocki was not invited to it. Przydacz stated that it was also not clarified whether Berek meets the requirement of experience. He also questioned his impartiality, pointing out that until recently he was a member of Donald Tusk's government. Przydacz accused the prime minister of actions that contradict declarations of the rule of law and assessed that, with regard to legal compliance, Berek would not have been elected for formal reasons. He said that the president would respond, and if necessary, would appeal to voter support. He recalled that Nawrocki was supported by 10.5 million people and stated that Włodzimierz Czarzasty, a former member of the PZPR, along with Tusk, is dismantling democracy and the legal system. Speaking about the G20 summit, Przydacz mentioned three priorities: taking into account the Central European perspective, energy security, and demographic policy. He informed that the president planned five preparatory visits this year. He accused the prime minister of, aside from attempts to claim credit for Nawrocki's success in talks with Donald Trump, not taking action regarding the G20. #Polska #demokracja #praworządność (translated)

AlkoInwestor described how during the infection season in the office, he compared the costs of using kitchen towels, grey toilet paper, and tissues. According to his calculations, one nose blow cost 0.0258 PLN net, 0.0054 PLN net, and 0.0366 PLN gross, respectively. The author noted that kitchen towels were nearly five times more expensive than toilet paper, and toilet paper only stopped being the cheaper option after using five sheets. Assuming that 40 people blew their noses 10 times a day for about 120 working days, AlkoInwestor estimated the total number of such actions to be 48,000. He wrote that using kitchen towels would cost the company 981 PLN net for the season, and factoring in the tax shield — 795 PLN. Tissues, as he pointed out, did not generate a cost for the employer because they were purchased by employees. The author reported that he presented a recommendation to the boss for employees to finance their own tissues or use grey toilet paper, while leaving towels for kitchen purposes. The boss rejected the idea of sending instructions to employees. The next day, Mariusz reached for a roll of paper brought by Kuba, but instead of taking one half sheet, he tore off three. AlkoInwestor summarized that the standard began to be implemented from the bottom up. #FIRE #biuro #zdrowie #finanse (translated)
