The Daily from Mordor accused the Polish authorities of helplessness and evading explanations after the crash of an armed Ukrainian long-range drone in Lithuania. It was stated that no one was killed, and a civilian car burned. According to the author, Ukraine apologized and explained that the drone was heading for targets in Russia, but due to interference, it deviated from its course. The author claimed that the Lithuanian Minister of Defense and the President's National Security Advisor referred to radar data indicating that the drone entered Lithuania directly from Poland. He attributed the denial by the Polish government and the Ministry of National Defense to the fact that the Polish system did not register anything. He added that there were suggestions that the drone could have launched from Lithuania, near the border with Poland. The Daily from Mordor presented two possible scenarios. If the government was unaware of the flight, it would, in his opinion, indicate the ineffectiveness of air defense, despite spending billions on shields, radars, and armaments. The author also pointed out the lack of a warning from the RCB Alert and the scrambling of fighters. If the authorities were aware of the incident but did not inform the citizens, he accused them of willfully endangering civilians to avoid difficult questions and political scandal. He assessed that in both cases, the government failed the responsibility exam. #Polska #Bezpieczeństwo #Drony (translated)

Javier Tebas wrote that the events of October 18 confirmed his earlier accusations against Real Madrid. He recalled that on October 16 he named the journalist from "El Debate," Tomás González-Martín, as the spokesperson for the club's management narrative. On the same day, Real responded with a statement in which, as reported by Tebas, they distanced themselves from the opinions of journalists outside the club. Tebas claimed that he asked Real to deny the comparison to Negreira that the journalist allegedly attributed to club sources, as well as allegations that La Liga was harming the club regarding the scheduling of matches. He also demanded the publication of all of Real’s requests for changes to the schedule and information on how many of them were considered. According to Tebas, on October 18, Real Madrid TV attacked him again, and a section of fans coordinated and supervised by the club displayed a banner with the slogan "Tebas and Negreira." He asked whether the club would also present this as an opinion unrelated to Real. He also accused the management of inciting hostility among fans toward specific individuals; he cited an earlier warning that the club had set Real fans against him and prevented him from moving freely on the street. Tebas accused the management of manipulating the message and spreading false information. He also referred to Real's publication from October 17 about "international media": he stated that the materials from Reuters, BBC, and "L’Équipe," repeated by the club, indicated that it was Real who requested them, and presenting the press reports as support for the club was manipulation. He added that his questions about sources, accusations, and the schedule had remained unanswered since October 16. #RealMadrid #LaLiga #Tebas (translated)

Peter Jančič estimated that due to the referendum, not only Golob but the entire opposition has scored a political own goal. He wrote that controlling the government will be more difficult as a result, even though it should primarily be in the interest of the opposition. He believed that the opposition deserved this, as, in his words, during the time it was in power, it openly used investigative commissions for political settling of scores with the opposition and those who thought differently, rather than for oversight of the government. https://t.co/1BtAbaxEAu #referendum #politika #Slovenija (translated)

Jacek Zarzecki wrote that the Provincial Veterinary Inspectorate issued health certificates for 21 animals taken from the Łączna Zoo to the Netherlands, including a tiger. According to him, the certificates were not issued by the county veterinarian supervising the zoo, who publicly stated that he saw no grounds for taking the animals, and was subsequently removed from the proceedings. Zarzecki pointed out that the police were supposed to designate a final destination for the animals, namely a private zoo. He asked on what legal basis the inspectorate took over the duties of the county veterinarian and from which account the certificates were issued. He also expressed doubts about whether each animal was examined before loading and whether its medical documentation, which — he wrote — was taken over by the prosecutor, was checked, and whether the tiger had a valid rabies vaccination. Zarzecki emphasized that the health certificate is an official document on which the credibility of Polish exports of animals and meat is based. He stated that any possible bending of procedures in this matter could undermine trust in the documents and procedures, and if EU institutions got involved, Poland would have to explain itself. #Zwierzęta #Weterynaria #Prawo (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk reached out to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Minister Marcin Kierwiński, and the Chief Police Commander with a question about the responsibility for the treatment of the detained Piotr W. He referred to a statement from the detainee, in which he described a lack of contact with his wife and designated defenders, the non-receipt of a copy of the detention protocol, as well as head injuries, dizziness, pain, and bruised wrists. He also accused the authorities of failing to provide appropriate medical diagnostics. Kusznieruk inquired about recordings from body cameras and the complete medical documentation, as well as why the detainee was cut off from his family and defenders. He called for an explanation of the allegations, and in case even part of them is confirmed, for immediate oversight actions and consequences for those responsible. He indicated that Tusk bears political responsibility for the government's actions, Kierwiński for supervising the Police, and the Chief Commander for the functioning of the subordinate formation. He emphasized that the Police should adhere to the law, and the responsibility for overseeing the services should not be limited to press conferences. #PrawaCzłowieka #Polska #Policja (translated)
