I understand that you are not an economist, but after all, you have an entire army of "advisors" at your disposal... Because this is no longer information relayed by Moody. This is your RHETORIC. Just like with the debt. "In four years, the government increases debt by a trillion." The thing is, four years have not yet passed 🤷‍♂️ You are already linking the executed debt with a FUTURE FORECAST and then dividing that amount by the number of residents, announcing that a newborn has "26 thousand zł of debt." How do you come to such absurd conclusions?? I won't say it's not impressive... But public debt is not a personal obligation that is assigned to a child's account. And then there's the Constitutional Tribunal. You sign a law, still consider it unconstitutional, and send it to the Tribunal. The same Tribunal that the ECtHR has found to violate the right to a court set by law in the Xero Flor case, and the Grand Chamber of the CJEU in case C-448/23 stated that it does not meet the requirement of an independent and impartial court due to serious irregularities concerning its composition. And just minutes earlier, you said: "I'm not looking at legal loopholes." The Constitution and the legality of state organs are not "legal loopholes," Mr. Guardian of the Constitution 🤦‍♂️ And in the end, you say that you don't want "constant political war"... After a speech in which words fall: - blackmail, - the government’s ATM, - the government's financial catastrophe, - the prime minister's political plan and unsubstantiated claims that the government deliberately maintains high fuel prices to profit from them. I won't judge intentions. I assess the content. And the content of the official statement by the person holding the highest office in the state should withstand confrontation with documents 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Here - in many key areas - it does not withstand. I will no longer dwell on this speech, as I believe it is a waste of time. I'll just say this. I don't know who prepared this text for you. However, I do know that you read it, you delivered it, and you take responsibility for every word. And you repeated nonsense and manipulations that have long circulated in the statements of people from your Chancellery — which I have already corrected multiple times. The worst part is that many of them don't even take long to verify. You just need to open the documents from your own Chancellery. I really don't envy you. It only pains me your slogan: "First Poland, first Poles." Because Poland and Poles should truly come first - even before political interests, party narratives, and the need for another conflict. You cannot appeal to the good of citizens while simultaneously playing with their trust in the state, providing them from the highest office with half-truths, insinuations, and political assessments cloaked as facts. This is not about whether someone likes this government. It's about accountability for words. Especially from this office 🫣 (translated)

Mr. Nawrocki, Unfortunately, I listened to this hmmm "message" and checked it against the documents. And, as usual, I have a problem. A big one. Because when you set aside the gestures, the teleprompter, and the political phrases, what remains is a series of facts mixed with half-truths, altered chronology, forecasts presented as certainties, and accusations that are not even confirmed by the documents of your own Office and a mass of other manipulations. Step by step. "The campaign promise of fuel at 5.19." No. Mr. Donald Tusk’s specific statement about 5.19 PLN was made in JUNE 2022. Parliamentary elections were scheduled for August 8, 2023. Only then did the election campaign begin in the sense of the Electoral Code. But it gets much more interesting with your quote... In the message, you connected 5.19 PLN, "one simple decision," and... a VAT reduction 🤦‍♂️ However, in the original statement about 5.19, Tusk talked about the MARGINS of Orlen and Lotos. And in a later statement about "one decision," he also talked about limiting Orlen's profits. Not about VAT! 🤦‍♂️ You are manipulating the Prime Minister's statement, and you are using the institution of the Address to the Nation for that... Exactly the same version about VAT was spread by Mr. Bogucki in the morning, but in his case, nothing surprises me anymore. A coincidence? Let’s move on. You claim that your project would cause "an immediate drop in fuel prices of over 2 PLN." Meanwhile, your OWN justification explicitly states that the mechanism DOES NOT START when the law comes into force. First, specific market conditions must occur. Then the Council of Ministers MAY issue a regulation. Only then does the mechanism begin to work. Where is the "immediate" here? Did you read your "own" project? Or are you just repeating this nonsense from Mr. Przydacz? Moreover, earlier materials from KPRP talked about an ESTIMATE of 1.70–2.60 PLN 🤦‍♂️ In the address, the estimate has already turned into a guaranteed effect 🤦‍♂️ Next, you say that the project is "good for the budget"... Meanwhile, your own justification predicts a loss of up to 600 million PLN just from the retail sales tax and further, unestimated costs of any potential excise tax reduction. I ask again - did you read your own project? Because you probably didn’t write it manually... Even more interesting. In the address: "The government bears full responsibility for fuel prices." In the justification of your project: market disruptions have an "objective character and are independent of entrepreneurs and the government".... So please decide. Full responsibility of the government or factors independent of the government? Because both versions cannot be true at the same time 🤦‍♂️ "The Marshal of the Sejm freezes the project." The project was submitted on September 18. On the same day, it was directed to the Legislative Office and BEOS. Then for opinions and consultations. Moreover, KPRP talked about the possibility of "freezing" as early as September 17 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ THE DAY BEFORE THE PROJECT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE SEJM! So first, a narrative about freezing was created, and only later did the Marshal receive the bill 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Are you communicating with the rest of the "experts" in your office?? Next, we hear that the government deliberately keeps prices high because it wants to profit from VAT and dividends from Orlen. Proof? None was provided! A higher price may mean higher nominal VAT revenues. Orlen can pay dividends to shareholders. But one does not imply the other: this is NOT proof that the government deliberately keeps fuel prices high. This is attributing a motive without providing evidence 🤦‍♂️ Then you sign the law and say: "Every zloty obtained from this law must be spent on reducing fuel prices." A moment earlier, you conceded that the law DOES NOT CONTAIN a mechanism for passing that money on to reduce prices 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Exactly. So it "mustn't." This is your political demand, not the legal effect of the signed law 🤷‍♂️ Moody’s? Yes. Here, the fact is a fact: Poland's rating was lowered from A2 to A3. But why was there no information that at the same time, the outlook was changed from negative to STABLE? Why does the rating decision then create a vision that "tomorrow there may not be enough for pensions and armaments"? (translated)

Whoever listened to the madman in the Kremlin tonight knows that Putin wants no peace, and certainly no end to the killing. They know that Putin wants to fight for years to come. They know that Putin will not give up until Ukraine has been completely destroyed. (translated)

President Karol Nawrocki signed the government bill on the tax on fuel giants. The most dissatisfied with this fact seems to be Tusk himself, who prepared this bill hastily to shift the responsibility onto the President. At the same time, Tusk declares that the day after the signing... (translated)

In some ways, Filip Turek is really a genius. On one hand, he complains about the previous government, Petra Hladík, Green Deal... And on the other hand, he bombards Instagram with Green Deal modernization projects approved by Hladík, pretending they are his. And his fans are crazy about how great he is. Top. (translated)

A 182-page interim report by the Soko Signa makes serious allegations against René Benko, who is considered the "de facto ruler" of a billion-dollar empire, although he has not held any official leadership position since 2013, while his lawyer dismisses the allegations as legally irrelevant.

So here it is: I'm heading to Active Reserves. Given my specialization, I will—who would have thought—become a doctor. The equipment of these units has seen quite a lot. As the 🇺🇦 battlefield shows, for example, the resilience of ambulances is very significant for the survival of the wounded. They've been waiting for them for quite some time... In short: the absurdity of the ruling treacherous populists will jeopardize the lives of our boys and girls who, despite all the disgusting, harassment, and humiliation, are willing to defend this country. I learned from the more experienced not to complain. We will improvise as we saw in 🇺🇦. Modifying civilian cars, buying equipment ourselves, setting up clinics in basements. We'll manage. But know in advance: to the marrow of my bones, I despise those who waste time and effort on defense at a time when we need to prepare for it... (translated)

When an impartial research institution finds such facts, it should be the top news for every media outlet. Or what do you think @yleuutiset @MTVUutiset @hsfi @iltalehti_fi @iltasanomat and others? Oh no? Why? (translated)

OFFICIAL: Real Madrid confirms that it has submitted extensive documentation along with evidence to UEFA regarding events of extraordinary significance that directly undermine the integrity of the competition and trust in the refereeing system – specifically concerning payments made over two decades by Barcelona to a former vice president of the Refereeing Committee. Real Madrid considers it crucial for the investigation to proceed as quickly as possible, since UEFA already has the submitted documentation, until its full conclusion and the appropriate authorities have made decisions commensurate with the seriousness of the proven facts. The club will continue to actively cooperate with UEFA and take all available actions to clarify these events, which it considers contrary to the principles of integrity, transparency, and fair play that European football should adhere to.

The best way to avoid conscription and defend against Russia is to support Ukraine so that Russia bleeds there. No weapon provided is worth as much as the fact that Polish citizens do not have to sacrifice their lives for the Fatherland. (translated)

The Prime Minister describes the Czech judiciary as a mafia, speaking of judges deciding without evidence, and has not presented specific facts to support such serious claims. What does the Minister of Justice say about this? He is silent. That is why this government does not have my trust! (translated)

Indeed, it takes incredible courage to tell your fans about the necessity of being cannon fodder while being exempt from conscription yourself and ready to escape with your little brother to the "leftist West." Pride! Pride! Mentzen's pride! (translated)

They have it in their genes. Brazen forehead. Speaking about the judgments of independent courts as if they were political processes sounds like mockery from the mouth of the communist Prokšanová and the career Bolshevik Babiš to all those who have been murdered, tortured, persecuted, and bullied, for whom the communist regime is responsible. Sorry, but that was really unbearable. (translated)

Polish fertilizers are going to Ukraine for 1709 PLN. And Polish farmers pay 3000 PLN? Shocking information was provided by Hubert Ojdana. The average export values of nitrogen fertilizers being sent from Poland to Ukraine, calculated at an exchange rate of 4.3 PLN per euro: ◾ 2024 year: 1247 PLN per ton ◾ 2025 year: 1435 PLN per ton ◾ first half of 2026: 1709 PLN per ton The data is said to come from the Ministry of Finance and Economy itself. And how much did Polish farmers pay at the same time? At the end of June 2024, urea cost in Poland from 1880 to 2160 PLN per ton, and in smaller packages even 2630 PLN. In April 2026, the average national net price of urea was 2947 PLN per ton. In June, surveys showed prices from 2900 to even 3150 PLN. If the discrepancies are really this large, it raises the question. Why is gas horrendously expensive for Polish farmers, while the same gas used for fertilizer production for export suddenly becomes cheaper? Magic. In 2024, 396 thousand tons of nitrogen fertilizers went to Ukraine. In the first half of 2026, another 153 thousand tons. Poland is the largest supplier of fertilizers to this market. Let's compare this with the rest. Orlen did not disclose the margin on fuel sold to Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense did not provide the value of the equipment transferred. They did not disclose how many missiles for the Patriot system we sent to Kyiv. Zero transparency! We need to find out what margin Group Azoty or Orlen placed on fertilizers for Ukraine. Farmers have the right to know the truth about prices! (translated)

This is no longer just a political blunder, but probably the most humiliating national failure in the history of Finland's industry. This analysis reveals black on white how totally and blindly the Finnish state leadership has sold the interests of its own citizens in front of the marketing department of Silicon Valley. Let's break down this "sleight of hand" into three devastating facts that make the government's actions completely inexcusable. First of all, despite all the prime minister-level hype, promises, and the liturgy of the green transition, the outcome is harsh. As a result of Google's massive investments, no new electricity production is being built in Finland—zero megawatts. The company's marketing department worded it so cleverly that the government, desperately thirsty for economic growth, swallowed the bait completely baffled. The leadership was smilingly taken in front of cameras as a guarantor for a project that will not bring a single new watt to the Finnish grid. The second issue is the hijacking of national base power. This is the real, chilling bomb of the news. Since no new electricity will come, where will these massive data centers draw their power? The answer: from our nuclear power. The analysis reveals that as much as 500 megawatts of Finland's nuclear power capacity is dedicated exclusively to Google until 2050. This nuclear power is not just any electricity. It is precisely that stable, weather-independent base power that is vital for Finland's price stability and security of supply. The government is thus surrendering half a gigawatt of infrastructure intended to safeguard Finnish citizens during cold days to a multinational monopoly for the next quarter century. Thirdly, the master has definitively become a servant. When 500 megawatts of stable nuclear power is tied to Google's inflexible use, and no new capacity is brought in, the mathematical equation is devastating for the Finnish consumer. When a calm cold spell strikes in January, our electricity grid will lack that 500-megawatt lifesaver. It is dedicated to AI computation, and the ordinary Finnish citizen will pay for it with horrendous spikes in market electricity prices and increased transmission fees from Fingrid. The Finnish government allowed a multinational company to blind itself with platitudes and let a foreign entity walk straight into the national switchboard. This is not an investment in Finland. This is a hostile resource grab, which the country's own leadership blessed with a smile, sacrificing the energy security and purchasing power of Finns at the altar of the company's marketing trick. In democracy, there is one simple and ruthless rule: if the highest leadership of the state cannot defend the interests of its own people, it must step aside. Looking at this chain of events and the facts revealed by Talouselämä, the demand for Prime Minister Orpo's resignation is no longer just political shouting. It is the only logical conclusion in a situation where the head of government has shown a total lack of judgment in securing national infrastructure and the economy. The prime minister's job is to be the master in his own country. His task is to sit at the negotiating table, look the world's richest companies in the eye, and say: "This is our grid, our nuclear power, and our nature. You will pay for the infrastructure, you will build the new electricity, and you will pay the royalties here. Otherwise, you can take your servers elsewhere." If the prime minister is not capable of this—if he is so desperate that he can be led by a marketing department's word games like a measuring cup—he does not have the backbone that leading Finland requires in this global squeeze. Then there is only one right action: hand the keys back to the people and resign. (translated)
