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)

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)

Paukner Media announced that it has opened a part of its "Paukner Archive" and claimed that the company of an unnamed individual collaborated with Vladimir Putin's regime and received money from Russia, from Siberia through Tatarstan to Moscow. According to the author, the individual simultaneously supported Ukraine and moved in the vicinity of Petr Pavel. Paukner Media also criticized Seznam Zprávy and linked the topic of Russian money with Danuše Nerudová, Vít Rakušan, Ondřej Kolář, Tomáš Zdechovský, and Petr Fiala. The author asked whether the STAN movement would return millions in donations and how Nerudová and Zdechovský would explain the alleged indirect financing of the campaign by Russian farmers and gardeners. He claimed that a key text with evidence was published on HeroHero and that he planned to release it on social media the following day around 5 PM. He announced that he was embarking on a confrontation with the individual, whom he referred to as more dangerous than Michal Strnad. #Rusko #Ukrajina #politika (translated)

Jan Betlach wrote that Chen Kugel, head of the Israeli National Center of Forensic Medicine, described previously unpublished findings from the autopsies of the victims of the October 7 attack after nearly three years. According to Betlach's contribution, the center's workers found intentionally mutilated bodies, tied and executed individuals, and decapitated victims, including children. Soot in the airways of some victims, according to Kugel, indicated that they were burned alive. Kugel stated, according to Betlach, that the attackers first shot a girl around twelve years old in the head and then decapitated her. He also mentioned foreign workers who, according to him, were found locked in a room with gunshot wounds to their legs and left to bleed out. Different methods of killing at various locations, according to Kugel, indicated a premeditated plan. In one bunker, the attackers used flammable substances, while elsewhere they murdered tied individuals and mutilated bodies both before and after death. In the weeks following October 7, the center received about 3,000 bags, mostly containing body parts and burned bones, according to Betlach. The forensic team gradually identified all the murdered individuals, including a young woman from the Nova festival. Her remains, according to the report, were burned in an ambulance hit by a grenade, and identification was made possible by DNA found on her pendant. Betlach also stated that the work had mental repercussions on Kugel and other workers at the center. According to him, Kugel developed post-traumatic stress disorder. https://t.co/TnENwfdS30 #Izrael #masakr #forenznívěda (translated)

He stated that citizens had the right to know who was acting against Poland and in what way. He also tagged Donald Tusk in the post. #Polska #Polityka #Informacja (translated)

Jarek Gasewicz wrote that after Adrian Zandberg's speech, Minister Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk spoke and precisely pointed out what he called the "successes" of Zandberg's party.

Max Hübner accused Donald Tusk of hypocrisy and claimed that during his eight years in opposition, he sought to overthrow the PiS government with the support of foreign entities, which Hübner characterized as unfriendly to Poland. He accused him of blocking funds owed to Poland from the EU, exploiting the visa issue, Russian propaganda, and the situation at the Polish-Belarusian border to attack PiS. He also wrote that Tusk's people traveled to the USA, so that the Joe Biden administration would channel USAID funds to anti-government organizations that spread what he claimed were lies. Hübner accused Tusk of presenting himself as a defender of sovereignty despite such a policy. He claimed that Tusk used pressure from states unfriendly to Poland, acting in the interests of Germany and Russia, while PiS sought support from the friendly United States in exerting pressure on the government regarding security. Hübner argued that the USA was interested in a strong Poland and accused critics of failing to see the difference between pressure from an ally and interference in the elections of states with interests conflicting with Poland. https://t.co/frVnKAEHtL #Polska #polityka #PiS (translated)

The Ministry of Underdevelopment and Technophobia wrote that developers were supposed to report investment data along with apartment prices. According to the author, the regulations adopted a year earlier did not specify a uniform format, which made the data entered by companies in various ways unreadable. After a year, a common format was developed, but — as the author pointed out — it lacked information such as the name of the investment and its location. He added that the Minister of Digitization, McGramat, was responsible for the proper preparation of the solution, and at the top of the consultation list was the Polish Association of Developers. #deweloperzy #nieruchomości #rynekmieszkaniowy (translated)

The Socios Wisła Kraków Association called on the Polish Football Association (PZPN), its president Cezary Kulesza, and Ekstraklasa S.A. to urgently investigate Legia Warsaw's decision to close the away section and to take actions that would allow an authorized group of Wisła fans to participate in the match scheduled for October 11. The association stated that it represents over 5,000 people and considered that the closure of the sector directly affects the community it represents. Socios referred to the response from the spokesperson of the Warsaw Police Headquarters, Chief Inspector Jacek Wiśniewski, given to editor Bartosz Karcz. According to the association, the police clarified that the correspondence was initiated by Legia, and the response concerned changes proposed by the club. It was not a post-control protocol nor a reaction to a specific match or incident; the police did not order the closure of the sector nor set a deadline for modernization. Socios emphasized that, according to the police's position, the decision to make the sector available was up to Legia as the organizer of the mass event. The association pointed out that Legia justified the closure of the sector until the end of 2026 with the scope and urgency of the works. In its opinion, the necessity and duration of the restriction should be supported by specific documentation. Socios also cited information from the Board of Greenery of the City of Warsaw, according to which Legia had been using city land serving the sector without a contract since 2017, and discussions regarding the regulation of this situation began in the summer of 2026. The association noted that Legia indicated the September international break as a convenient time to resolve the land issue. Socios demanded an examination of the documents, an urgent site visit involving both clubs, the police, PZPN, and Ekstraklasa S.A., as well as checking the schedule of works and the possibility of implementing alternative solutions. It also called for an assessment of Legia's decision in terms of competition rules and infrastructure and licensing issues, and subsequently for the public presentation of the findings before the match. The association declared support for TS Wisła Kraków S.A. in legal actions related to the exclusion of an organized group of fans, including financing the costs of proceedings and legal services. It emphasized that clarifying the matter after the meeting will not restore the fans' ability to participate in it. #WisłaKraków #Ekstraklasa #PZPN (translated)

Aleksander Twardowski wrote that it was the 13th day of waiting for Deputy Adam Gomola to receive the court document.

Mandark wrote that a Polish MEP secretly organized a meeting between the serving Deputy Prime Minister and the president of a foreign state, during which—he claimed—an attempt was made to bribe the president to overthrow the government outside of democratic elections. The author assessed that this meant interference by Poland's greatest ally in its internal politics and differentiated this situation from Donald Trump's support for Nawrocki, as in that case, the outcome was decided by voters at the polls. The author stated that the matter concerning Bielan was about a non-democratic attempt to change power and political bribery. He wrote that although in his opinion there is no appropriate legal provision for this, Bielan should be excluded from the group of people who respect democracy. He called on politicians, journalists, and celebrities not to shake his hand, not to talk to him, and not to invite him for interviews, and condemned his actions so that similar actions would not be repeated. Mandark described Bielan as one of the worst people in Polish politics and accused him of numerous vile and treacherous intrigues. He also wrote that his associate Ziobro is already facing the consequences of his actions and expressed hope that Bielan would face a similar punishment. #demokracja #polityka #zdrada (translated)
