The French Mileistes qualified the budget proposed the day before by the RN as a "gigantic joke" and believed it risked harming its economic credibility. They denounced the estimates, which they deemed rushed and unreliable, of political programs, adding that the projections for deficit reduction from Bercy were contradicted by reality each year. They described a political system where promises and assumptions would seldom be verified and where officials would not have to be held accountable in the event of lies. According to them, artificial intelligence would now allow for quick control of a program, with a first check in a few minutes and a thorough analysis in a few days, even though disagreements over the assumptions would persist. The French Mileistes called on other political leaders to learn from the RN's budget and to do better. #politique #budgets #responsabilité (translated)

Marcin Józefaciuk criticized the response of Deputy Minister Sławomir Ćwik to a question about paternity testing at the request of a parent and the responsibility for knowingly misleading a man. As he wrote, in the League of Debates Portal Zero, Ćwik accused the question of stereotyping women and said he trusts his wife. Józefaciuk believed that instead of addressing legal protections, the deputy minister assessed the intentions of the questioner and referenced personal experience. Józefaciuk reminded that — as he pointed out — the law establishes paternity by presumption concerning the mother's husband, acknowledgment of paternity, or court ruling, without universal DNA verification. He also noted that the test result does not, in itself, change the legal status of a father. He criticized Ćwik's statement that a man can test a child despite the mother's objection, invoking Article 97 § 2 of the Family and Guardianship Code, which — according to him — requires joint decision-making by parents on significant matters concerning the child and provides for court resolution in case of disagreement. The author wrote that the mother's husband essentially has a year from obtaining information about the lack of biological paternity to file a lawsuit for its denial, no later than until the child reaches adulthood. He also cited case III CZP 91/11, in which the Supreme Court described the case of a man who acknowledged a child in 1998, and his acknowledgment was annulled in 2006 after paternity was excluded by DNA testing. Józefaciuk called for presenting data on such proceedings and considering the available procedure for paternity testing, taking into account the protection of the child and the possibility of judicial resolution of the other parent's objections. He also advocated for a discussion about the consequences of proven, deliberate misleading. He qualified that the DNA result alone does not prove fraud nor automatically grant the right to recover expenses, and the child should not be held accountable for the actions of adults. #Polska #ojcostwo #prawo (translated)

It's hard to say anything today. There are many emotions, many things going through my mind. Obviously, the first thing I think about is my father. All I can do is thank him, as I mentioned in my farewell letter. It has been a huge pride for me to wear this jersey for all this time, over 20 years. Even in the worst moments we faced and that I lived through, I never stopped fighting, giving my best, wanting to always be present. Not playing again is going to be a great pain. Believe me, I would love to play for the rest of my life because playing for the Argentina national team is the most beautiful thing that can happen. Words from Lionel Messi at the farewell of the Argentine national team. #Messi #CristianoRonaldo #Futebol (translated)

Waste in Europe is an area that interests, colloquially speaking, the mafia. "When illegal waste entered Croatia, it was declared as ordinary waste, not as hazardous waste. Everything starts with the declaration that comes from abroad. There are people and companies about which we will soon make a decision from the DORH, perhaps already by the end of this week, so you will see who all these people are involved," Turudić said for HRT. #ilegalniotpad #DORH #mafija (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)

Kolja Barghoorn wrote that demonstrators recognized him that day in the cathedral square in Magdeburg and repeatedly called him a "Nazi." Hearing the shouts up close had a different effect than reading them on the internet. Barghoorn interpreted such labels as a sign of a lack of historical understanding and a moral abyss. He referred to a visit to Sachsenhausen during his school years and to his visit this year to the House of the Wannsee Conference. There, he saw the organizational chart of the Nazis and traced how systematically they had planned the persecution and murder of millions of people. Regarding Nazi comparisons made by politicians such as Eva von Angern, Susan Sziborra-Seidlitz, and Ricarda Lang, Barghoorn questioned their historical awareness. Those who emphasize the historical uniqueness of the Holocaust must ask themselves whether the constant use of the term "Nazi" as a political insult is appropriate. Such shouts do not strengthen the awareness of the Nazi era but rather turn its crimes into a political everyday weapon and contribute to their trivialization, he wrote. #Nazis #Politik #Geschichte (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)
