The author of the entry accused Waldemar of omitting Article 154, paragraph 3 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. He wrote that if the first attempt to appoint a government failed, the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers would be elected by the Sejm, and the President would be obliged to appoint them. He emphasized that the President would not have the right of veto in this procedure and indicated that this happened in 2023. The author also considered the possibility that Nawrocki would refuse to take the oath, similar to the case of the oath of judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. He assessed that this would lead to a serious constitutional crisis since the Constitution did not provide a straightforward mechanism for forcing the President to perform this duty. He added that based on Article 162, paragraph 3, the outgoing government could continue to perform its duties despite the Sejm electing a new cabinet. He pointed out that such a scenario would mean that the body responsible for ensuring compliance with the Constitution could prevent the execution of its provisions. #Konstytucja #Polska #KryzysPolityczny (translated)

The author of the entry addressed Daniel Obajtek with questions about the audit of Orlen no. 238/2018, which he wrote indicated that the actions of the then management could have reduced the company's revenue by around 112 million zlotys. He asked whether during Obajtek's presidency, which began in February 2018, the findings of the audit were forwarded to the prosecutor's office, analyzed in terms of Article 296 of the Penal Code, and whether any explanatory actions were taken. The author reminded that the investigation into fuel price manipulation in 2023 was initiated on January 17, 2024, at the District Prosecutor's Office in Płock, and in April 2024, the prosecutor's office informed about searches at Obajtek's home in matters concerning Orlen. He assessed that Minister Żurek did not initiate this investigation, contrary to the impression that the entry by Obajtek could have created. He added that manually setting fuel prices is not a crime, and criminal liability depends on specific circumstances and the fulfillment of statutory prerequisites. According to the author, comparing the two cases solely based on the price-setting mechanism does not determine their legal assessment. He wrote that the publication of excerpts from the audit does not undermine the validity of the investigation concerning 2023 but raises questions about the actions of Orlen's management regarding the audit findings during Obajtek's presidency. #Orlen #audyt #przemysł (translated)

Press Briefs described a rally organized on October 17 as massive, but marked by violence. The report stated that the Ministry of the Interior counted 550,000 demonstrators, compared to up to 800,000 according to the organizers, and that intelligence services had underestimated the size of the gathering by five to eight times. It compared the official figure to the 282,710 participants recorded during the record of the Yellow Vests on November 17, 2018. The report mentioned looting and damage in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, as well as clashes near the Élysée. It also reported that a 17-year-old girl lost an eye in Mulhouse, where an investigation by the IGPN was opened, and that a 17-year-old boy had his hand severed in Saint-Étienne. In Paris, according to Press Briefs, a video showed a person on the ground being beaten by more than twenty police officers, while a protester died on Boulevard Magenta; the prefecture mentioned a cardiac arrest. Press Briefs criticized the media coverage of the rally and relayed several political statements. The report noted that Marion Maréchal Le Pen refused to distinguish between the vandals and peaceful demonstrators, that Éric Ciotti called the unrest an "intifada," and that François-Xavier Bellamy called for the imprisonment of Philippe Poutou. It also highlighted comments from Prisca Thévenot about Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his remarks about Sébastien Lecornu, who called on the French to choose their side between the law enforcement and the Republic. The report further indicated that the mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan, denied the figure of 30,000 looters, and that an AI-generated image, presented as showing an elderly couple being robbed in Paris, had garnered nearly six million views on X. Finally, it reported that Laurent Nuñez had submitted his resignation to Emmanuel Macron, who had refused it. #France #Mobilisation #Violences (translated)

Paweł Usiądek wrote that the Euro 7 standard could lead to immobilizing a car if the system detects too high emissions of exhaust gases. According to him, the regulations were set to come into effect on November 29, 2026, for new types of passenger and commercial vehicles, and a year later would apply to all factory-new cars of these categories. Usiądek assessed that such a solution would limit the ownership rights of drivers. The author described the onboard emissions monitoring system (OBM), which — as he wrote — was supposed to continuously check the composition of exhaust gases, including levels of nitrogen oxides and the efficiency of the particulate filter. According to his description, upon detecting a malfunction, the system would count down the distance traveled: after 1400 km, a message was to be displayed continuously, and after exceeding 2400 km, the procedure for immobilizing the vehicle would begin. Deleting the error would not stop it; after a reset, the counter would set itself to the lower of the two values: 2400 km or the current mileage. After repair, the vehicle would have to travel 400 km in a test mode, and the re-detection of the malfunction would set the counter to 2401 km. Usiądek noted that traveling abroad would not stop the countdown. Usiądek warned that a recurring malfunction could prompt mechanics to replace the engine, which in new, electronics-laden vehicles could mean a very costly repair. He also wrote that the implementing regulation 2025/1707 mandated the wireless transmission of some data to the manufacturer's servers, which would then be passed on to authorities in an anonymized form. Among the registered information, he listed speed, RPM, engine load, fuel flow, and parameters from the entire usage period of the vehicle. The author argued that the driver does not control the quality of fuel or oil, although — as he pointed out — they affect the composition of exhaust gases. In his opinion, the consequences of emission problems would fall on the driver, not the vehicle manufacturer. #emisiones #normaEuro7 #własność (translated)

The Aristotelian Circle summarized the speech by saying that the looters could act without worrying about costs, since the state would pay, and that the price of energy depended on Ormuz.

The author r00t🇪🇺 accused Bogucki of selective representation of the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling from December 3, 2015, in case K 34/15. He pointed out that Article 194, paragraph 1 of the Constitution entrusts the Sejm with the election of judges of the Tribunal, while the obligation to take an oath before the President results from the law. He referred to points 8.5.1, 8.5.3, and 8.6 of the justification. As he wrote, the Tribunal considered the oath to be an element added by the legislator to the constitutional procedure, and its acceptance by the President was regarded as an obligation. He added that the Tribunal questioned the interpretation of provisions that would not foresee the immediate taking of an oath. The author assessed that the President does not approve the choice made by the Sejm and cannot, based on statutory competence, co-decide on the composition of the Tribunal. He accused Bogucki of omitting parts of the ruling and using it to provoke opposition to the government and to present its actions as an attack on the constitutional order. Referring to Karol Nawrocki, the author reminded that Article 126, paragraph 1 of the Constitution defines the President of the Republic of Poland as the highest representative of the state and the guarantor of continuity of power, while paragraph 3 indicates that he performs his tasks on the principles specified in the Constitution and laws. He wrote that using the authority of the Constitution to justify a political position does not correspond to those obligations. #Konstytucja #Prawo #Polityka (translated)

A new study shows that the mechanization of the shoemaking trade in Victorian England between 1851 and 1911 led to a loss of more than two-thirds of jobs, but at the same time created 140,000 new positions in other areas, highlighting that technological advancement often does not have the dramatic effects on employment that one might expect. #Sozialgeschichte #TechnologischerWandel #Schuhmacher (translated)
