Polish media on October 12 primarily focused on the ongoing debate surrounding Poland's potential exclusion from the migration pact. Morning reports discussed the issue as a "great deception" and a topic for "national mobilization" (Do Rzeczy, Radio ZET, wPolityce). The debate continued throughout the day, with appeals for a referendum due to the temporary nature of any potential exemption (Do Rzeczy).
Concurrently, the shifting media landscape and the rise of right-wing ideas were noted (Rzeczpospolita, Wyborcza). Other significant discussions included Donald Trump's increasing presence in international affairs, particularly his conversations with Zelenskyy and proximity to intervention in Venezuela (Polsat News, Rzeczpospolita). Domestic political maneuvers, such as criticisms of PiS manifestations and judicial reforms, also garnered attention.
