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)

The President wrote that Różecka announced that the Polish Prime Minister is "persona non grata" in the White House. She also quoted a sharp reaction from Agnieszka Gozdyra, who asked what it means that the Prime Minister of an allied country, which buys American weapons for billions of dollars, would be unwelcome there. The author compared Gozdyra's evening reaction to Bielan's morning statement, suggesting that they sounded like repeated party messages. She used an offensive term towards Gozdyra, and in the end, praised the editor. #polityka #Białydom #premier (translated)

Good morning, I would like to share an information from Morning Zapping, by the excellent Marc Fiorentino, who in turn refers to data from a study by the Wall Street Journal. Do you remember the K economy? The letter used to describe the structure of the economy of the United States. The top part of the K, the small portion of the population that drives growth. The bottom part of the K, the overwhelming majority of the population that fully suffers from the decline in purchasing power. You will see, the numbers are staggering. 0.1%. 0.1% of Americans. The ultra-rich. The Fed has published a study analyzed by the Wall Street Journal. First finding: their wealth has more than doubled since 2019. We are talking about 14.5 trillion dollars in additional wealth. Of which 10 trillion came from the increase in the stock market and investments. In 6 years. THIS 0.1% Of the population now controls 28 trillion dollars, which represents 15% of the total wealth of Americans. But the most spectacular figure: In 2022, the average wealth of this 0.1% was 45.8 million dollars. In 2026, it is 200 million. SO 28 trillion dollars of wealth for the 0.1% of the population. While the wealth of the bottom 50% of less wealthy Americans is 4 trillion dollars. $63,000 in average wealth. 3,000 times less than that of the 0.1%. PROFILE OF THE 0.1% Mainly corporate executives. Mainly shareholders. And therefore primarily holders of shares in listed or unlisted companies. That's where the explosion of their wealth came from. We are talking about only 137,000 families. Real estate has also significantly contributed to enrichment, and it is also true, but to a much lesser extent for a large portion of American families. Notice: This is a study regarding the USA, but it can easily be applied to the rest of the world as well. The rich are getting richer, while poverty numbers continue to rise. (translated)

Ivan Bartoš stated that the Pirates helped stop the payout of 68 million crowns to Agrofert, but according to him, it now concerns another billions. He called on Minister Šebestyán, whom he referred to as a person appointed by Andrej Babiš, to start demanding 7 billion crowns. He claimed that Šebestyán, as the former head of SZIF, had himself written in an analysis that the state should recover this money, but after joining Babiš's government, he changed his stance. Bartoš added that the Pirates will not let it go like that. #Agrofert #Babiš #Piráti (translated)
