Jarosław Kaczyński dominated the day with an interview in which he revealed PiS's plan for success: a return to the concept of the welfare state, a signal earlier teased in the morning when wPolityce reported he was "laying his cards on the table".
The presidency faced its own pressure after reports of alleged paid meetings with President Nawrocki, priced at $100,000; TVN24 carried calls for explanations and a dismissal, the presidential palace responded, and minister Leśkiewicz framed the coverage as a media attack, while wPolityce asked what Tusk was doing about it.
TVN24 tracked Germany's exit polls showing AfD winning another Land, a "catastrophe" for the CDU, and an RCB alert with expert appeals for urgent civil-protection steps.
General Kukuła met NATO's supreme commander, and wPolityce flagged alarm over SAFE loan costs.
