Jacek Fogiel wrote that Adam Bielan had earlier warned that Donald Trump might react "brutally" to the situation surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal, for example by suspending the base. According to Fogiel, Bielan also claimed that Americans regularly ask him about the Constitutional Tribunal and cannot imagine a forceful solution. Fogiel recalled that when asked on Polsat about a possible intervention by Trump, Bielan said he did not know if the U.S. president was currently focused on events in Poland. Fogiel pointed to the September visit to Poland by a delegation from the U.S. Congress: Democrat Elissa Slotkin and Republicans Thom Tillis and John Curtis. As he wrote, the delegation met with the management of the Ministry of Justice and discussed the crisis surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal. Minister Żurek summarized the talks, saying that American partners showed understanding and support for the reform of the judiciary. Fogiel stated that representatives of both parties supported the principle that in a democratic state the parliamentary majority governs, and accused PiS of appealing to Trump and Congress for help in defending the Tribunal. He added that the parliamentary majority was acting, and Bielan's statement indicated his helplessness. #Polska #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Ameryka (translated)

The Enchanter of Moose wrote that he quoted a direct translation of the content from a website in the Netherlands. According to this account, in recent days, the Hoenderdaell team and the Lion Foundation came to Poland to collect many animals in connection with their seizure, at the request of Polish authorities or the prosecutor's office, which were seeking shelter for them. The author also conveyed that the animals arrived safely at their destination and were quarantined under veterinary care, and their condition was described as good. In case of questions, contact with Polish authorities was indicated. #Zwierzęta #OchronaZwierząt #Polska (translated)

Kafir sharply criticized President Nawrocki's veto against the bill on the enforcement of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. He wrote that he fears aspirations for absolute power and offensively suggested that some might need psychiatric consultation. As an example, he described a hypothetical scenario where the ruling party takes Poland out of the European Union, withdraws from the European Convention on Human Rights, and changes the operation of the courts. According to him, a citizen who lost a case in the country and exhausted available appeals could be left without a way to seek justice. Kafir argued that democracy allows citizens to challenge state decisions and assert their rights. He also warned that a power that does not recognize dissent may, over time, turn against its own supporters. He added that in an extreme case, it could reinstate the death penalty. #demokracja #prawaczłowieka #władza (translated)

The author of the post claimed that the local authorities and the police did not take responsibility for the dismantling and paralysis of the zoo in Łączna and the removal of the animals, but blamed the prosecution instead. He added that a representative of the police admitted that the operation was planned at the government level, and people were losing their jobs. #zoo #polityka #zwierzęta #PL (translated)

The author criticized Szefernaker's post, stating that instead of calming emotions, it served political mobilization. He pointed out that Szefernaker began with the story of a voter who traveled half of Poland to cast his vote for him, and then — as the author put it — presented Donald Tusk as an unscrupulous salesman, Poland as a state of chaos and high prices, and suggested a political nature to the accusations and arrests. The author also noted the announcement to remove Tusk's government from power within a year. He emphasized that Szefernaker wrote as the head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, while also reminding of his role in Karol Nawrocki's campaign, whom he referred to as a civic candidate. The author accused the Presidential Chancellery and politicians associated with Nawrocki of inconsistency: on one hand, they were supposed to call for an end to political war and calm the mood, while on the other hand — according to the author — they were stoking conflict, presenting government decisions as threats, and mobilizing voters against it. In this context, he recalled statements from Bogucki and Nawrocki about the need to ease tensions. The author noted that the efficiency of the state is not measured solely by the number of accusations or arrests, but added that it should not also depend on whether those in power are protected from responsibility. He assessed that merely labeling the accusations as political does not prove that they had such a nature and announced that he would remind of earlier statements every time the Presidential Chancellery calls for an end to the political conflict. #Polska #Polityka #Emocje (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)
