The Galácticos published Cristiano Ronaldo's account regarding the dispute with the Portugal national team coach. The player claimed that after the 2026 World Cup, the federation president asked him not to leave the national team, and he himself supported the choice of the current coach. According to Ronaldo, the coach presented him with a game plan that involved participation in the first and fourth matches of the training camp. The player wrote that he agreed to play 30 minutes in the match against Norway, although he had not planned to play earlier, but after warming up, he did not go onto the field. He also claimed that the coach promised to clarify the situation at a press conference, but did not do so. Ronaldo stated that Simão Coutinho and Tiago Craveiro were also involved in the discussions. The player admitted that after the match he did not approach the fans, and later left the training camp. He apologized to Portuguese fans and his teammates, took responsibility for his decisions, and emphasized that the federation should assess their consequences. He added that after serving any potential punishment, he would be ready to return to the national team, provided he was in good form and was regularly playing for his club. He also announced that in the future he would play one or more farewell matches. #CristianoRonaldo #Reprezentacja #PiłkaNożna (translated)

The author accused Marcin Przydacz of inconsistency in his statements about who decided on Donald Tusk's assumption of the office of Prime Minister. He wrote that after Mateusz Morawiecki's government failed to secure a vote of confidence, the Sejm elected Tusk in a constitutional parliamentary procedure, and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Szymon Hołownia had no power to transfer to him. The author stated that by Przydacz's logic, one could argue that Hołownia also decided on the assumption of office by Karol Nawrocki because he convened the National Assembly and enabled the swearing-in. However, he pointed out that in Nawrocki's case, he saw a constitutional problem related to the validity of the elections, the handling of protests, the determination of the validity of the election, and the swearing-in despite objections. He assessed that Hołownia's decision had constitutional significance in this matter. The author also rejected the accusation that Kosiniak-Kamysz prioritized party interests over state interests, claiming that Przydacz equated the interests of the state with preventing Tusk from coming to power. #Polityka #Konstytucja #Debata (translated)

Kremlak wrote that Karol Nawrocki recently had a series of failures. He claimed that he bought three horses with public money, and participation in the gala sponsored by his sister's brand NAWROCKY constituted a direct monetization of the presidency. The author also mentioned Nawrocki's loss in the dispute with Katechon over fuel prices and record drops in polls. He added that the meeting with "Kim Jong Snus" could be purchased by buying a package, and ended the post with the term "Ułan Batyr." #polityka #koń #sondaże (translated)

The author of the entry agreed with Fogiel that Poles should choose their authorities, but called for the consistent application of this principle. He pointed to the presidential elections of 2025 and questioned the method of constitutional verification of their results. He recalled that Article 129 of the Constitution, as he wrote, guarantees voters the right to submit protests, and the election oversight should be conducted in a procedure that meets constitutional standards. He stated that 55,274 protests had been submitted to the Supreme Court. He also claimed that the National Electoral Commission indicated the need to address the protests and to determine the validity of the election by a Supreme Court panel whose institutional and personal status would not raise doubts. According to the author, the Electoral Commission recorded recurring errors in the protocols of some polling stations and called for a more thorough analysis of their causes. The author emphasized that the validity of the election was determined by the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs, whose status as a court established by law—as he noted—remained a subject of dispute. He added that proceedings regarding irregularities in vote counting were still ongoing. He mentioned cases of incorrect assignment of votes to candidates, allegations against commission members, and acts of accusation. He stated that in one of the cases, the prosecutor accused 24 commission members of dishonestly counting votes and preparing protocols. He noted that he did not claim that a change in the overall election result had been proven. As he wrote, the prosecutor is examining individual commissions separately, which allows establishing what happened in a specific commission but does not determine the overall scale of irregularities in the country. According to the author, it cannot be assumed that the errors confirmed in successive commissions could not be significant in a cumulative sense until their scale has been established. The author considered that the mere assertion that Poles elected a president does not end the discussion about the integrity of the elections. He asked whether all votes were counted correctly, whether the protests were addressed in accordance with constitutional requirements, and whether the body stating the validity of the election met the Supreme Court's standard required by Article 129. He also wrote that Speaker Szymon Hołownia was aware of these doubts, yet convened the National Assembly, allowing the office to be assumed. He emphasized, however, that he could not say that politicians chose a president instead of citizens, because it was Poles who voted. #wybory #Polska #konstytucja (translated)
