The prosecution of former Defense Minister Błaszczak dominated Friday's coverage, with formal charges filed for revealing classified defense plans. PiS staged protests outside the prosecutor's office with Kaczyński calling it an "anti-Polish act." The controversy centered on Błaszczak's 2023 revelation of the previous Tusk government's alleged "betrayal line" strategy to abandon territories east of the Vistula River if invaded.
International developments included a massive fire at London's Heathrow Airport causing flight chaos and Trump's clearer Ukraine ceasefire proposal. The European Commission responded to Tusk's migration policy statements, suggesting flexibility despite his firm stance against accepting migrants.
Government coalition tensions surfaced over healthcare contributions, with a minister accusing the Left of acting as a "fifth column." In sports, Poland narrowly defeated Lithuania 1-0 in World Cup qualifying, with Lewandowski scoring a late goal after a disappointing performance that critics called "unwatchable."
