Daniel [Zaitsev] and Toni [Meijel] are my lucky charms! As soon as they arrived, I got a medal! I am incredibly happy, especially about being able to swim the second half of the distance faster, which is usually my weaker side. Today I managed to beat other men in the second half of the distance; 32-year-old Tribuntsov was particularly pleased with the second half of the distance, which he says has usually been his weaker side.

Cassiopeia wrote that her friends from the IPN published a graphic and description regarding Hans Frank's decree from October 15, 1941. According to the text she cited, the death penalty for Jews leaving the ghetto and for Poles providing them shelter was introduced in the General Government at that time. The decree was also supposed to cover matters such as feeding, transporting, and trading with Jews. Cassiopeia also mentioned an IPN material titled "Death for Good." The author compared this publication with a statement by Agnieszka Holland about Węgrów. Holland allegedly said that among those involved in rounding up Jews and leading them to trains heading to Treblinka were firefighters, police officers, and young Poles, and that at least several hundred people were killed on the spot by Poles. Cassiopeia also cited a description signed "The History Teacher," according to which on September 22, 1942, SS units and Ukrainians surrounded the ghetto in Węgrów, and Jews were led through the station in Sokołów Podlaski to Treblinka. This description also mentioned that Poles were prohibited from moving near the site of the action. Cassiopeia emphasized that over 50 Poles from the Węgrów district received the Medal of "The Righteous Among the Nations." She recalled the deaths of Poles on the guillotine, in burning barns, and in train cars, linking them to helping Jews, including giving them bread. She called for sharing the post, commenting, and expressing pride and honor, announcing that the action would last until midnight. https://t.co/uYX0ELCMFj #Historia #Pamięć #Polska (translated)

Roman Giertych criticized Karol Nawrocki for announcing that Maciej Berek is not a judge. He believed that such a position showed how Nawrocki and his surroundings understood presidential powers: as the right to ultimately approve individuals appointed to positions or taking an oath. Giertych assessed that the consolidation of such an interpretation could lead to an actual dictatorship or absolute monarchy. He argued that the president could then refuse to sign a law despite a veto override or appoint a prime minister chosen by the Sejm. He reminded that according to the Constitution, the president must sign the law within 7 days of the veto override, and Article 154 provides for the appointment of a prime minister elected by the Sejm and ministers at his request. He also pointed out that a two-thirds majority is needed for impeachment. As a hypothetical example, he cited a situation in which, after the victory of the Civic Coalition and its majority, Mateusz Morawiecki would become prime minister, and Nawrocki would later refuse to appoint Donald Tusk chosen by the Sejm. Giertych also claimed that according to such an interpretation, judges, officers, generals, and ambassadors could not be appointed or professorships, citizenship, or honors granted without the president's consent. He defined the dispute surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal as a conflict over whether after the 2027 elections the government will designate the Sejm or Nawrocki. He warned the president that the interpretation he was pushing would mean changing the Constitution without following proper procedures and could lead to a coup against the Constitutional Tribunal and create grounds for undermining the government. He added that who will govern after 2027 will be decided by Poles in the general elections in the fall of next year. According to Giertych, Nawrocki's stance could exacerbate social relations and even lead to violence, for which the president would bear responsibility. #Polska #Konstytucja #Demokracja (translated)
