The day was dominated by a cascade of stories surrounding Zbigniew Ziobro's trip to the USA. Early headlines reported his departure and world media coverage, followed by the foreign ministry contacting US and Hungarian embassies, and the prosecutor's office taking action. By late morning, a judge with shares in TV Republika was assigned to Ziobro's arrest case, sparking a conflict-of-interest scandal. In the afternoon, the president decided on the CBA, and prosecutors summoned the head of Telewizja Republika for questioning, extending the legal pressure on pro-PiS media. Other stories included a horse fair cruelty incident, a head-on collision with 21 injured, and a senator expelled from the Civic Coalition. The hantavirus cruise ship story concluded with passenger evacuation.
