The author reported that while working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was responsible for Eastern policy and security. He wrote that he held this position when the Russian aggression against Ukraine began, when Lukashenko was attacking Polish borders, and also when — as he put it — it was necessary to respond firmly to challenges. #MSZ #Polityka #Bezpieczeństwo #PL #RU #UA #BY (translated)

The commentator referenced a statement by Dorota Wysocka-Schnepf, who said that MP Giertych had on X provoked opponents with the suggestion that he would also deal with the president, and undermined the validity of Karol Nawrocki's swearing-in.

Piotr Kusznieruk called on the minister to familiarize himself with the full justification of the Constitutional Tribunal's judgment in case K 34/15 before accusing him of manipulation. He wrote that the Tribunal confirmed the obligation to promptly take the oath, but allowed for exceptional postponement when strictly defined, objective obstacles arise — for the time needed to clarify doubts. He pointed out that this does not mean granting the president any discretionary veto power; however, in his opinion, it undermines the assertion that the president has no decisive voice. Kusznieruk reminded that the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal are elected by the Sejm, but according to Article 4 of the law, they take an oath before the president, and Article 5 connects the taking of the oath with the establishment of an employment relationship. He added that the election itself does not therefore end the procedure, and the difference between appointment and election does not nullify the legal significance of the oath. In his opinion, the rule of law requires considering the entire wording of the provisions, even when it complicates the political message. #praworządność #sędziowie #wyrok (translated)

Sebastian Lach wrote that Lithuania claimed that a Ukrainian drone FP-1 with a payload entered its airspace from the direction of Poland. According to his post, Lithuanian radars detected the object while it was still over Poland, and Prime Minister Sinkevičius had no doubts about its origin. The Polish Ministry of National Defense was said to have responded that its systems did not confirm this, while Ukraine apologized and pointed to Russian signal jamming during the attack in the Petersburg area. Lach reported that the drone crashed in northern Lithuania, damaged a car, but did not injure anyone, and NATO scrambled fighter jets. The author compared the reaction to the incident with a hypothetical situation in which the drone would have fallen in Poland. He wrote that then maps and accusations of a Russian provocation would have emerged, while in this case, he described the reaction as silence and a reference to the lack of confirmation and Ukraine's apologies. Lach assessed that some people want an end to the war, while others may prefer its prolongation to play on fear and avoid accountability before 2027. He added that reports about the incident reinforced his conspiracy theory that Russia was not behind the events of April 10, 2010. #Polska #wojna #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

Vahrenholt wrote that the political actions of the EU and Germany have exacerbated the impending gas shortage situation. The planned restructuring of gas imports according to climate standards could lead to the USA, Nigeria, and Qatar offering their supplies to other buyers. Environment Minister Schneider stated that politics can set standards. Vahrenholt criticized that climate protection is thereby put ahead of providing warm homes. He attributed the increase in electricity network charges to the energy transition. A 24 percent increase in 2027 is a sign of further rising electricity prices. Citing an EWI study from 2024, he mentioned long-term possible network charges of 13.5 €ct/kWh for industry instead of the current 2.86 €ct/kWh, as well as 27 €ct/kWh for households instead of 9.2 €ct/kWh. He wrote that these costs are unaffordable for citizens and threaten industry in Germany, and he called for the energy transition to be stopped. https://t.co/WTTq25RXMl #Energiewende #Klimapolitik #Strompreise (translated)

Mona Keijzer wrote that the facilitators, according to her, had not advised to reduce the priority for status holders, but rather wanted to maintain and expand that possibility. In temporary housing, they would have mentioned double priority as a condition: first priority for temporary accommodation and then again upon transitioning to a permanent home. Keijzer expressed her disbelief about that advice. https://t.co/WtjgW6YEX1 #woningtekort #statushouders #huisvesting (translated)

Patryk Spaliński drew attention to what he sees as double standards in describing violence and devastation. He wrote that the destruction of a Parisian store was considered violence, while the eviction at the Maltańskie Housing Estate in Poznań was not. He similarly pointed out that the fire at the town hall in France was termed as the devastation of a historic site, while—he claimed—this term was not used for a historic Polish building that a developer allegedly set on fire to build a housing estate on the plot. He added that he had been reading "incredible things" for several days. #przemoc #dewastacja #zabytki (translated)
