He also noted that workers from IMSS-BIENESTAR had called for a march and that employees from the Health Secretariat were blocking the viaduct. Di Costanzo asserted that Sheinbaum had reprimanded Zoé Robledo, Alejandro Svarch, and David Kershenobich, and that the doctors had to increase her medication. He attributed the episode also to the news that HR Ratings would downgrade Mexico's long-term rating and to some statements by Donald Trump regarding possible attacks by sea and land against the cartels in Mexico, even if Sheinbaum opposed it.

Zbigniew Bogucki blamed Donald Tusk's government for the increase in debt servicing costs. He recalled that during the election campaign, Minister Domański had announced an increase in the government's credibility and a decrease in these costs, which at that time amounted to around 70 billion zlotys annually. Bogucki wrote that for the next year, 107 billion zlotys has been planned for debt servicing, which is 37 billion more. He compared this amount to the cost of purchasing dozens of Abrams tanks or building two permanent bases for American soldiers in Poland. He added that half of this amount, 18.5 billion zlotys, could correspond to the cost of one such base. The politician also attributed the downgrade of Poland's rating by Moody's to the government, indicating that it was supposed to be the opposite. #Polska #finanse #dług (translated)
