Anders Ygeman and I were on Aktuellt. C did not want to come. Those of us who were there agreed that we must move forward now, even though we did not have quite the same view on how. But the alleged V and M bloc seems to have no one arguing for it for long. Good! Four parties have won the election, and therefore we should govern together. V has erased our stance towards C, now it's time for C to do the same job. Without V in the government, agreements on policy will not hold; it will just be nice words on paper. Before we negotiate policy, we must of course agree on who will implement the policy and in what way; otherwise, the negotiations will be blind. S and MP now need to put pressure on C so that they also erase their stance. It's not about bickering but about making sure that all four are respected equally. That V should solve this by themselves when C even declines the invitation for coffee does not feel reasonable. Mutual trust can only be built if all parties’ voters are respected. I sent this to S, and I also think that MP needs to step up. Otherwise, nothing will happen if C is just allowed to remain in their own room. That MP claims during the election campaign that they want V involved is good, also for MP, whose voters have that perception. But talking about something is not the same as working for it, and more than V needs to do that if there is going to be a new government. So far, all pressure has been directed at V, even though V does not say no to any party in Magdalena Andersson's support and that our "stance" only pertains to our own party's right to influence. To be "neutral" in a situation where one party does not respect another is not being a good "friend." And without pressure on C to accept V equally, we will get no government negotiations where we can start to give and take in the actual policy. I believe that is what the voters want to see and expect from us! (translated)

Many people are probably wondering who Błażej Gazda actually is, whose name keeps coming up in the Zondacrypto scandal. Today's TVN24 report shows that he is definitely not a lawyer who just happened to be involved in this case. Gazda has been associated with people connected to BitBay since 2017. He represented Roman Ż., Suszek, Marian W., and Jaromira W. And Roman Ż. is absolutely a key figure. According to the prosecution's findings, he was the one who financed the establishment of BitBay, and Suszek was supposed to act on his orders and under his leadership. Simply put, investigators believe that the actual founder of BitBay was Roman Ż. However, Gazda was connected to this environment not only as a lawyer-client relationship. He entered a Czech company with Roman Ż. BitBay, and later Zondacrypto financed his participation in rallies. Gazda himself sent Kral invoices from the team for payment. Their collaboration lasted until January 2026. In September, Gazda was questioned as a witness in the Zondacrypto case and can no longer be Ż.'s defense attorney in the same case. Gazda himself is also under investigation in another case. The prosecution accuses him, among other things, of aiding in money laundering from drug trafficking, obstructing proceedings, and inciting a witness to give false testimony. It was Gazda who organized the April meeting between Kral, Hofman, and Pietryszyn in Monaco. Kral did not want to go, but Gazda called repeatedly and pressured him, convincing him that the interlocutors had something important to discuss. According to TVN24 sources, a proposal to provide Zondzie with protection against another TVN report was made at this meeting. Gazda knows Hofman and Pietryszyn personally. He describes his relationship with them as purely friendly. According to TVN24 sources, he skis with Hofman and they come from the same environment in Wrocław. So, when Gazda's name comes up again in the Zondacrypto scandal, it is worth knowing that we are not talking about a lawyer hired for one case. We are talking about a man who has been part of this environment for nine years. As a lawyer, business partner, and a person whose rallies were financed by BitBay and Zondacrypto. (translated)
A lawyer who for years represented people formally on different sides of the Zondacrypto scandal and having different interests. Bitbay and Zondacrypto sponsored his entries in car rallies. He himself is suspected of assisting in money laundering from drug trafficking and obstructing proceedings. He also arranged a meeting in Monaco between the president of Zondacrypto and former spokesperson of PIS Adam Hofman to ensure "protection" from press publications. Who is attorney Błażej Gazda? (translated)
Sławomir Jastrzębowski from @RepublikaTV was already taking money in 2020 for silencing journalists dealing with the topic of Zondacrypto and Bitbay. At that time, his company R4S accepted an order for 70,000 PLN. They promised a lot, but did practically nothing. Jastrzębowski's partner was Adam Hofman, a former spokesperson for PIS. In 2020, he participated in one meeting with people from Zonda. In April 2025, @AdamHofman, with a new partner @pietryszyn, flew to Monaco to persuade Przemysław Kral for new cooperation with Zondacrypto. But Hofman completely forgot that he had already tried to extort money from Kral and his company once. Kral quickly made him aware of it, insulted Hofman and Pietryszyn, and kicked both of them out. The meeting lasted 18 minutes. And behind all this is Błażej Gazda, a lawyer for the people from Zondacrypto, suspected in other investigations. One of them concerns money laundering from drug trafficking. We recommend a funny-scary episode of the series about Zonda. (translated)
