Jacek Fogiel asked what Nawrocki did aside from vetoing, and ironically referred to claims that Tusk and his government are doing nothing. In response, he listed actions attributed to Tusk's government. According to Fogiel, the government accelerated economic growth, with GDP rising by 3.8% in 2025, and reduced the VAT gap from 14.7% in 2023 to 4.9% in 2025. It launched the first quantum computer, built Polish AI factories and its own artificial intelligence called PLLuM, and expanded the functionalities of mObywatel, which already had 12.5 million users. Fogiel also credited it for strengthening cybersecurity, depoliticizing public media, and unlocking KPO and FE, which was supposed to provide 600 billion PLN for Poland's development. Among the economic and social actions, Fogiel mentioned a more favorable health contribution for entrepreneurs, a monthly leave without ZUS, and a cash PIT, where tax was to be paid after receiving payment. He also wrote about the highest real wage growth in the 21st century and an average above 9000 PLN gross, a decrease in inflation to 3.6% in 2025, and stock market records, with WIG above 150 thousand points. He added that the government launched a state-funded in vitro program, increased the number of childcare places for children under 3 by 66,921, and introduced 1500 PLN for grandparents as part of the Active Parent program. Fogiel also pointed out the first Polish military satellite, the launch of Baltic Towers, and the construction of Baltica 2, which was to provide energy for 2.5 million homes. He mentioned the construction of a new external port in the Baltic, Cape Pomerania, and allocated 2.7 billion PLN for local roads in 2026. In the field of defense, the author of the post mentioned an increase in spending to nearly 5% of GDP in the budget for 2026, an increase in the tightness of the border with Belarus from 30% in 2023 to 98% in 2025, and support for the defense industry, including the production of Krabs, Borsuks, Rosomaks, and NAREW systems. He wrote that 96 Apache helicopters were purchased, and the MESKO plant produced a million pieces of ammunition daily. He added the launch of the Eastern Shield with a budget of 40 billion PLN, securing nearly 190 billion PLN from SAFE for defense, increasing the number of police officers to over 100,000, and allocating 13 billion PLN for the modernization of the fire brigade, police, and border guards. #Polska #Gospodarka #Innowacje (translated)

Further evidence of inflationary risks in the US has strengthened the narrative for higher interest rates for a longer period, with sellers appearing among risky assets, while interest rate-sensitive stocks came under renewed pressure. The broad range of price pressures in the inflation basket was particularly concerning, posing a challenge for a market that desperately needs evidence of disinflation, says Chris Weston, an analyst at Pepperstone. #Giełda #Inflacja #TechnologieAI (translated)

Kafir wrote that he increasingly considered elitism to be better than democracy, because — as he claimed — in elections the vote of a person with knowledge and experience carries the same weight as the vote of a person without basic competencies. He noted that elitism, in his opinion, did not depend on wealth or education, but on knowledge, reason, and the ability to think independently. He criticized voters who — according to him — assessed economic policy without knowledge of issues such as inflation, budget, or monetary policy. As examples, he referred to people shopping at Lidl and Biedronka, as well as checking purchase prices, and accused some of them of confusing daily savings with the competencies needed to evaluate the state's finances. At the same time, he emphasized that simply looking for cheaper products was not bad. Kafir also criticized politicians who — as he wrote — lacked experience in running businesses or managing budgets, yet held positions that allowed them to decide on significant public expenditures. He accused right-wing groups of citing religion, tradition, and national values while simultaneously supporting strong authority without proper oversight. He argued that appeals to patriotism and religion did not replace the knowledge and competencies necessary to govern the state. He compared the expectations placed on children in their education to the expectations of politicians. He wrote that parents usually required their children to learn math and helped them acquire knowledge, yet some voters — in his opinion — did not expect similar competencies from those seeking power. He compared governing the state to entrusting a ten-year-old child with the household budget without parental control, pointing out that promises of unfunded expenditures could lead to debt. The author accused voters of re-electing politicians despite their mistakes if they promised them more money, and that they rejected criticism as a lack of patriotism. He claimed that some people did not want to check information or analyze arguments and instead trusted loud political messages. In conclusion, he asked why voters demanded education from children but did not require knowledge from politicians before entrusting them with power. He also mentioned the action "7 percent of 460," relating it to the number of deputies, and stated that there were at most 7 percent of wise ones among them. #Demokracja #Elitaryzm #Edukacja (translated)
