Adam Czarnecki wrote that a generation has grown up in Mazovia for whom Adam Struzik from PSL was the only known marshal of the voivodeship. He stated that Struzik had held this position for 25 years — longer than Poland has been in the EU and longer than Putin has ruled Russia. He added that Struzik opposed the two-term limit in local government. #Mazowsze #polityka #samorząd (translated)

Katarzyna Pełczyńska wrote that the statement, which was supposed to sound like a threat, she took as encouragement. She pointed out that if the party leaders from both sides of the dispute, as well as Mr. Patelnia, Mr. Mejza, and Matecki, were to leave the Parliament, the situation would be interesting. Pełczyńska added that the limitation to two terms in democracies usually pertains to directly elected offices, such as the country's president, village head, mayor, or city president. In her opinion, pathological systems form more quickly around such concentrated power. She believed that an executive power chosen collegially and collegiate bodies, such as the Parliament and councils, are more resistant to this because decisions are made by many people, and their composition changes from term to term. She emphasized that the system of Polish local government requires reflection and perhaps changes, such as strengthening the position of councilors. However, she opposed the removal of the term limit for presidents and mayors on the principle of "everyone or no one." As she wrote, according to such logic, one would also have to abolish the term limit for the President of Poland, which—she noted—nobody wants in Poland. She added that the effects of such a solution can be observed with Poland's eastern neighbors. #demokracja #polityka #władza (translated)

As Miłosz Motyka, the Minister of Energy and spokesperson for PSL, conveyed in an interview with PAP, Saturday's meeting is primarily intended to address issues related to local governments — including the PSL-backed draft law concerning the abolition of the two-term limit for key positions in local governments. #Polityka #OlejNapędowy #UrodzinyPutina (translated)

Rafał Piech, the president of Siemianowice Śląskie, described the chaos caused by internet fake news about a bloody Friday, emphasizing that local government officials had to act quickly and independently because the government did not provide them with clear information or support in the face of panic among parents. #Bezpieczeństwo #Samorząd #Edukacja (translated)

The author wrote that he understood the parents' concerns, pointing to the increased readiness of the police, statements from local officials advising caution, and the closure of some schools. He added that most institutions operated in an above-standard mode. #bezpieczeństwo #rodzicielstwo #polska #PL (translated)

Michał Janczura wrote that Agnieszka Z., sentenced to five years in prison for causing an accident in which three people died, has twice obtained a postponement of her sentence. First, she was to complete her internship, and later the postponement was granted due to her health condition. During this time, she completed her internship and was entered on the list of doctors. Janczura pointed out that although Agnieszka Z.'s health condition was supposed to justify the postponement of her prison sentence, she was able to work as a dentist. He also wrote that the medical chamber learned about the judgment and the postponements from material broadcasted by TVN24, as the court did not inform them about the case. According to the author, in September the chamber resumed the procedure to grant Agnieszka Z. the right to practice the profession, to check if there were any ethical or health obstacles from the beginning for her to work as a physician. Janczura added that the court did not want to share the psychiatric opinion even with the medical self-government. https://t.co/X5GtBTpWIa #prawo #sprawiedliwość #zdrowie (translated)

Marcin Józefaciuk wrote that he was thinking about teachers, principals, and administrative and support staff who would soon be reopening schools. He noted that after recent events, some of them might be returning to work with anxiety, and emphasized that they also have the right to fear, conversation, and support. He encouraged school staff to take an interest in each other's well-being, and parents to communicate, share concerning signals, and support one another. Józefaciuk wrote that schools should be safe for both children and adults, and ensuring this requires real support from the state and local governments. He added that he wanted all employees to return home safely after work. #szkoła #nauczyciele #wsparcie (translated)

Jan Pawlicki described the decisions of local authorities and directors to cancel classes in schools as an "absurd psychosis." He wrote that parents discussing on WhatsApp and most users of the portal he deemed increasingly foolish also succumbed to it. He claimed that teenagers were publishing macabre jokes, recording reels with the slogan "be afraid" and posing with scissors. He appealed to adults for reason and criticized them for focusing on smartphones instead of understanding how such actions operate. #psychoza #szkoła #rozsądek (translated)

Deweloperuch.pl wrote that the Sejm rejected an amendment which, according to the author, would have given members of housing cooperatives greater influence in prohibiting short-term rentals in their buildings. The author claimed that the adopted regulations would require support from half of all members of the cooperative, not just half of the participants at the general meeting. As an example, he mentioned the Warsaw Housing Cooperative, which he estimates has around 27,000 members. This would mean the need to gather 13,500 people, which Deweloperuch.pl deemed virtually impossible. He added that it would only take half the votes of those present at the general meeting to dissolve the cooperative. The author argued that the regulations would make it difficult for residents to block short-term rental activities, and their effects would be felt in many older parts of cities and tenement houses. He also wrote that the amendment was proposed by politicians from Poland 2050, the Left, and the Together Party, but it was rejected by the votes of the Civic Coalition, PSL, and the Confederation. According to Deweloperuch.pl, the regulations will deliberately limit the ability of cooperatives to prohibit such rentals. #spółdzielnie #mieszkalnictwo #polityka (translated)

The police will do everything to ensure that schools are secure. Today, many patrols have already been in the vicinity of schools and have been in contact with them. And tomorrow, from the very morning, we will be at all primary and secondary school facilities. We will communicate with both school managers and directors, as well as local authorities, to prevent such aggression from occurring. We will try to identify individuals whom we consider suspicious in this case – said the Chief of the Police Headquarters, Gen. Insp. Marek Boroń, in Polsat News. #groźby #ataknaszkoły #Przasnysz (translated)

Katarzyna Pełczyńska wrote that after many months of debates and disputes, a law on short-term rentals was adopted. According to her, the regulations gave residential communities and local governments more influence, which Poland 2050 had advocated. She simultaneously criticized the rejection of an amendment that was supposed to provide cooperative residents with a real opportunity to remove hotels adjacent to their premises. She described the legislators' decision as incomprehensible and encouraged checking how they voted. She announced further actions for affordable housing. #ustawa #mieszkania #społeczność (translated)

Piotr Stanisław Wielgucki wrote that on TVN24 he heard statements from local teachers, local government officials, police officers, and prosecutors, which he assessed as wise and professional. He added that the drama and political rudeness began when Donald Tusk arrived on the scene or when Tusk or Marcin Kierwiński spoke from Warsaw. #Polska #Edukacja #Polityka (translated)

The author wrote that the government adopted a resolution the day before regarding the Population Protection and Civil Defense Program for the years 2027–2031. According to him, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the allocation of 102.4 billion PLN for this purpose, including about 30 billion PLN for regions and local governments. #OchronaLudności #ObronaCywilna #Polska #PL (translated)

The author of the entry accused Bogucki, head of Nawrocki's office, of re-publishing a fragment of Nawrocki's speech from Stargard on October 2nd on October 6th. He pointed out that the day before, Nawrocki had said in his message that he did not want "an ongoing political war," and the following day blamed Donald Tusk's government for public finance problems and stated that the government was indebting Poles by 900 million zł daily, while every day "2000 apartments" were being lost. The author questioned these calculations. He wrote that 900 million zł daily would mean about 328.5 billion zł annually, while the maximum budget deficit for 2026 is noted to be 271.7 billion zł, or about 744 million zł daily. He added that according to data from the Ministry of Finance, the debt of the sector of government and local government institutions according to EU methodology increased in the first half of 2026 by 263.2 billion zł, which—he calculated—would be about 1.45 billion zł daily on average. He asked what category of debt, methodology, and period the 900 million zł figure referred to. Referring to the 2000 apartments daily, the author calculated that at the amount of 900 million zł, it would mean 450,000 zł per apartment. He assessed such a comparison as lacking economic value without indicating which state expenditures should be limited or what revenues should be increased. He noted that a deficit means that expenditures exceed revenues, and the expenditures funded by it include, among others, defense, benefits, healthcare, investments, and debt service. The author also questioned Nawrocki's statement that Tusk's government indebted Poles by 1 trillion zł within four years. He reminded that the government was appointed on December 13, 2023, and by the day of the speech in Stargard, on October 2, 2026, it had not even been in power for three full years. He added that the statement could refer to a forecast for four years, but—as he pointed out—Nawrocki did not present it as a forecast. #Polska #Polityka #FinansePubliczne (translated)

The author appealed to Minister Dariusz Klimczak for the immediate restoration of municipalities' ability to install speed cameras, section speed measurement devices, and radar systems. He assessed that this is the only way to limit deadly street races in Polish cities and warned that otherwise, Polish roads will remain unsafe. #BezpieczeństwoDrogowe #Polska #Fotoradary #PL (translated)
