The author of the entry asked what image was being referred to and stated that a critical assessment of Karol Nawrocki's biography is not synonymous with insulting him. He wrote that Nawrocki made his own decisions and ran for the highest office in the state, so he should be prepared for public debate about his past. According to the author, an electoral victory does not exempt one from being assessed for behavior and credibility. The author asserted that a situation in which a person holding the highest office has a controversial past, and citizens were not informed of important circumstances before the elections, could be an affront to the Republic. He added that a person guided by honor should consider stepping down under such conditions, taking into account the seriousness and image of Poland, rather than their own ambitions. He also wrote that disclosed information about the past of a person representing the state could undermine their credibility in dealings with leaders of other countries and representatives of international institutions. Finally, he stated that the highest office should serve the state, not the protection of the reputation of the person holding it. #Polska #Polityka #Wybory (translated)

The author of the entry questioned Bogucki's reasoning regarding the refusal of the president to take the oath and the actions of the management of the Constitutional Tribunal's Chancellery. He indicated that it concerns separate legal issues related to different entities and their competencies. He referred to Article 194 paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and Articles 4 and 5 of the Act on the Status of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, as well as to the judgment of the Tribunal in case K 34/15. As he wrote, the Tribunal recognized in it that taking the oath from a properly elected judge is the president's obligation. He added that even assuming that the oath taken in the Sejm was ineffective, it would not automatically exclude the legal assessment of Nawrocki's previous inaction. The author stated that there is no logical contradiction here and accused Bogucki of reducing two separate issues to a single political slogan. #prawo #konstytucja #Polska (translated)

Retired Colonel Maciej Korowaj assessed that the 17.1 trillion rubles earmarked for defense in the Russian budget for 2027 does not constitute a barrier to mobilization, but it does not signal it either. He pointed out that the overt mobilization stance remains marginal, and the contract model is exhausting its social base. In his opinion, part of the increase in defense spending may stem from transferring payments for the wounded and the families of the deceased to this sector, which were previously included in a classified section called "Social Policy." This would mean that part of the growth finances the costs of losses, rather than new capabilities. Korowaj wrote that, regardless of the budget, Russia's legal-administrative capacity to mobilize people is increasing. He noted that a decree from December 30, 2025, directed contract reservists to protect critical facilities in 2026, and a decree from July 27, 2026, increased the armed forces' personnel by 25,000, to 1,535,000 soldiers. According to him, this was the third such increase in the year, formally tied to the creation of military-construction units. He also referenced an assessment by the Ukrainian HUR that Russia aims to recruit about 600,000 people in 2026–2027, utilizing the electronic register and digital summonses, which would enable mobilization without public announcement. Korowaj identified the system's capacity as the main limitation. He wrote that Russian losses currently amount to 30,000–35,000 killed or wounded per month, and according to NATO estimates, most recruits still end up on the front lines as reinforcements. With an intake of about 30,000 people per month, the army, in his opinion, is essentially restoring its personnel rather than creating surpluses for new formations. Citing OSINT, he noted that 4,799 out of 7,342 pre-war tanks stored in depots had been used, leaving about 19% remaining. Korowaj assessed that in the short term, it would be possible to draft several hundred thousand people as reinforcements and rear echelon personnel, but not quickly create a second army capable of maneuver warfare. He emphasized that mass mobilization would require the identification, selection, training, and equipping of hundreds of thousands of individuals, while the military apparatus is busy sustaining the front. He also referred to a report by Andrei Belousov for Vladimir Putin from December 2025: in 2025, five divisions, 13 brigades, and 30 regiments were to be formed, while four divisions, 14 brigades, and 39 regiments were planned for 2026. He pointed to the establishment of the 44th Army Corps in Karelia, the elevation of brigades to the rank of divisions, including the 71st Guards Mechanized Division on the Kola Peninsula, and a rocket brigade with Iskanders. In his view, these formations mainly consisted of conscripts and trained reinforcements. He added that according to Finnish sources, the expansion of bases in Petrozavodsk, Pechenga, and Baltiysk would enable the support of 80,000–115,000 soldiers only after the war in Ukraine concludes. Korowaj agreed with the ISW assessment that, in the short term, ground operations against NATO are unlikely, as the majority of Russia's potential is engaged in Ukraine. He also cited a report from a closed NATO briefing in Ankara, during which an Alliance representative purportedly spoke about the re-establishment of the Leningrad and Moscow Military Districts, at least one new corps, and three divisions, but also mentioned a lack of signs of an intention to conduct a rapid attack. He concluded that the budget finances a long war with Ukraine and creates opportunities for the period after it is frozen, but it does not indicate preparations for an attack on NATO or a withdrawal of the Kremlin from such an option. #Rosja #wojna #defensywa (translated)

Grzegorz Macko reported that in Mieroszów he participated in a crisis management team regarding the situation at the zoo in Łączna, and then met with protesters outside the garden. During the meeting, as he relayed, he learned from the police chief in Wałbrzych that the Ministry of Climate and Environment, led by Paulina Henning-Kloska, had been involved in discussions about transporting animals from Poland to the Netherlands for some time. Macko wrote that the zoo fence was damaged and more foundations were withdrawing from activities on its premises and taking over the animals. He accused the voivode, Anna Żabska from the Civic Coalition, of convening the crisis team but not attending it herself. According to him, there was chaos on the spot, no one responsible for coordination, and institutions did not indicate who would take care of the animals after the organizations withdrew. He added that the police officers moved among the animals and provided them with water. He conveyed that a representative of the prosecutor's office said during the crisis team that activities were completed the previous day. Macko added that in the afternoon the court did not grant the prosecutor's request to arrest the owner of the zoo. The politician emphasized that in his opinion, politicians and residents should not decide who is right in the dispute or assess whether irregularities occurred. However, he considered it the politicians' duty to evaluate the actions of state services. He described the situation at the zoo as an example of serious communication, organizational, and perhaps legal problems. He also wrote that the case showed, as he assessed, a broader dysfunction of the state, also in terms of animal welfare. #ZOO #OchronaZwierząt #Kryzys (translated)

The author of the post criticized Brudziński for referring to the democratically elected government as the "Tusk gang," accusing him of inconsistency with his declared defense of the rule of law and the Constitution. He reminded that — as he wrote — judges of the Constitutional Tribunal are elected by the Sejm based on Article 194, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, and a change in the parliamentary majority does not take away these powers. The author also questioned the characterization of the Sejm's actions as an unlawful takeover of the Tribunal and the presentation of it as the last independent institution of justice, pointing to long-standing controversies regarding its composition, functioning, and independence. He accused Brudziński's group of treating the state as their own property. The commenter assessed that the dissemination of false or manipulated information and the presentation of lawful actions of the state as an assault on constitutional order should meet with a response from public opinion, as well as an assessment from the relevant authorities regarding potential legal responsibility. He added that freedom of speech and the right to criticize the government do not mean unlimited freedom to make false accusations. #Polska #konstytucja #praworządność (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that attacks on medical staff are becoming increasingly frequent.

He also pointed to the need to implement procedures including risk assessment, alarms, protection, and rapid response, arguing that the safety of medical staff affects the safety of patients. #Bezpieczeństwo #OchronaMedyków #ZdrowiePubliczne #PL (translated)
