Gutab assessed that blocking Donald Tusk's nominations for members of the NBP board threatened to paralyze the institution, and pushing for a motion to bring president Adam Glapiński before the Tribunal of State was intended to deepen the problem. He claimed that these actions were motivated by a desire to seize NBP reserves and introduce the euro. He compared them to the situation in 2014 when — as he wrote — Tusk took money from Poles accumulated in the OFE. #Polska #NBP #Tusk (translated)

In recent weeks, Donald Trump has demanded that Ukraine cease attacks on Russian refineries, claiming that it is these attacks (and not the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz caused by the war initiated by the USA and Israel against Iran) that are leading to the rise in global diesel prices. #Ukraina #Trump #Zełenski (translated)

Magda wrote that Nawrocki had deemed the new law unnecessary the day before because Polish services already had the tools to block such content. The author accused him of not telling the truth: in her opinion, the services currently do not have a general authority to order the immediate blocking of recordings of violent crimes, such as a school attack being streamed live. Magda noted that special powers pertain to terrorist content, but not every violent attack is terrorism. In her view, this gap is to be filled by the new law, and presenting existing tools as equivalent to those that the law will introduce is false. #polityka #bezpieczeństwo #internet (translated)

Magda wrote that three years earlier, the Poles elected the current ruling coalition to make laws and change the state after eight years of PiS rule. She claimed that the coalition parties garnered significantly more votes than Nawrocki later did. In her opinion, the series of vetoes did not indicate strength, but rather weakness and fear that good laws would improve the lives of Poles and help the rulers win next year. She assessed that the Palace, unable to overcome the government with its own ideas, decided to prevent it from implementing its actions. She referred to the vetoes as small, PR-focused moves and described the presidency as based on blocking the work of the government, presented as concern for the Poles. #polityka #Polska #rząd (translated)
