Morning headlines focused on dramatic polling shifts following the Końskie presidential debates, showing significant drops for Trzaskowski and gains for Nawrocki. The political confrontation intensified with multiple criminal complaints - Trzaskowski's campaign filed against PiS and TV Republika for alleged debate irregularities, while PiS announced investigations into TVP and the Prime Minister's Office regarding debate financing.
By afternoon, attention shifted to a tragic hostel fire in Silesia that claimed five lives, and a TVN24 journalist's arrest by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Reactions to Trump's characterization of the deadly Sumy attack as a Russian "mistake" generated Ukrainian outrage.
Evening coverage centered on TV Republika's presidential debate, where candidates faced a cardboard cutout of Trzaskowski, who declined to attend. The debate featured heated exchanges between Hołownia and Mentzen, with arguments about immigration, gender policies, and abortion laws dominating the discussions.
