Piotr Kusznieruk wrote that the revealed recordings raised questions about the reason for the police check on the man who was, as he suggested, connected to the protest. According to his reconstruction, the officers followed the man for several dozen meters, demanded his personal information without providing a specific reason for the check, and then incapacitated him inside the building. Kusznieruk noted that the man pushed the officers away and fled inside, but he believed that this did not explain the earlier decision to conduct a check. The author claimed that the man lost consciousness during the intervention, and the knife found with him was not presented as having been used. He also questioned the proportionality of the force used and whether the man deliberately attacked the policewoman when the window broke. Furthermore, he described that several hours later, the detained man was informed that he could meet with lawyer Magdalena Leszczyńska if he provided his details. According to Kusznieruk, the man did not know the lawyer and did not want to see her, while the police considered this a refusal to contact a defense attorney. Kusznieruk also criticized the statement by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who — as he wrote — linked the matter to President Nawrocki. He asked whether the police acted on the orders of superiors, collected data on demonstration participants, and previously observed the man. He directed questions to the Polish Police and the Ministry of Interior and Administration regarding who ordered the identification of Piotr and on what basis. He warned that if the identification of protesters occurred without legal grounds, it could mean using the state apparatus to control citizens. #Polska #Policja #protesty (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk stated that the footage from the body camera raised serious suspicions that the man may have been previously monitored as someone associated with the protest organization. He claimed that the police had been trying from the beginning to establish his identity and asked whether they were acting on orders, who issued those orders, and on what legal basis. Kusznieruk emphasized that the systematic gathering of data by the police on individuals participating in legal protests, without specific grounds for identification, would signify practices characteristic of an authoritarian state. He pointed out that participating in a protest is not a crime, and the police should protect the constitutional freedoms of citizens. He asked the police who ordered the identification of this man and why the officers were interested in him even before the intervention. #protesty #wolność #Polska (translated)

The Warsaw Police published a recording of an intervention on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, which took place on Friday, October 16. According to the police, the footage came from the body camera of one of the officers and showed the course of the event. The police stated that the detained man was initially passive and actively resisted, did not follow commands, refused to provide his personal information or show identification, and then attempted to flee into a building. According to their report, during the arrest he violated the bodily integrity of a policewoman who suffered injuries, received medical assistance, and was taken to the hospital. The police also assessed that the people present in the building hindered the intervention, did not maintain the required distance, and increased the sense of threat. They explained that the publication of the recording was meant to allow the public to familiarize themselves with the course of the event, in connection with the emerging reports and comments which, they claimed, could serve to spread misinformation. #policja #Warszawa #interwencja (translated)

Murat Çolak wrote that Cracovia has unveiled a third jersey dedicated to St. John Paul II, whose life — as he emphasized — was connected with Krakow and the club. The design was inspired by Zakrzówek, where Karol Wojtyła worked physically in a quarry during his youth. Çolak also pointed to a commemorative plaque located underwater, installed by divers. As he explained, the blue of Zakrzówek inspired the color of the jersey. The back of the shirt features the inscription "Holy Father, your Cracovia remembers you," and the hidden motif of ones references the number retired for John Paul II. According to Çolak, the ones were visible after personalizing the jersey; this solution appeared on the Cracovia kit for the first time. Çolak described the project as an expression of the club's identity and respect for its history. He thanked the marketing team and the Official Cracovia Store for the realization, the photo session, and the video clip. #Cracovia #JanPawełII #Kraków (translated)

Zbigniew Bogucki wrote that partitions, occupation, and communism did not manage to break Polishness or the spirit of the Church. He quoted President Karol Nawrocki from a meeting with the American Polonia in New York. Nawrocki said that the Catholic Church upheld Polish identity during the partitions, occupation, and after 1945, when — as he described it — Poland was a Soviet colony. He also mentioned the 1980s when some non-practicing Poles associated their aspiration for freedom and sovereignty with the Church. #Polska #Kościół #tożsamość (translated)

Hanna Shen wrote that critics of Karol Nawrocki's participation in the boxing training with Manny Pacquiao expected a lecture, but saw the president in the ring instead. In her opinion, the recording published by Pacquiao could have reached millions of Filipinos and served as effective promotion for Poland. She reminded that Pacquiao was a former senator and the only world champion in eight weight classes in history. Shen noted that Nawrocki also spoke at the Catholic University of Santo Tomas in Manila, founded by Dominicans in 1611. According to her, the university was older than Harvard and was considered the oldest functioning university in Asia. She wrote that José Rizal studied there, and Nawrocki laid a wreath at his statue. She also mentioned Pope Francis's meeting with young people at the university in 2015. According to Shen, the president spoke to students about the shared experiences of Poland and the Philippines, such as foreign domination and the struggle to preserve identity, as well as about faith, family, solidarity, freedom, and sovereignty. He also recalled the Russian invasion of Ukraine and hybrid attacks on Poland, emphasizing that deterrence requires strength. Shen believed that this message could be understood in a country dealing with Chinese pressures at sea. She added that serious discussions, a lecture, and training with a boxing legend could have been elements of the same diplomatic visit. https://t.co/O6JtNM19h7 #Polska #Filipiny #dyplomacja (translated)
