The day was dominated by President Nawrocki's Cabinet Council, where he directly challenged Prime Minister Tusk on proposed tax increases and demanded explanations. This intense morning confrontation saw Tusk assert governmental authority, reminding Nawrocki of the constitution and stating that presidential vetoes would be "ineffective." Despite this, Nawrocki proceeded with additional vetoes in the afternoon, further escalating the ongoing "veto battle" and reportedly hindering Poland's alignment with EU laws. Separately, former Health Minister Adam Niedzielski was hospitalized after being reportedly beaten. This incident prompted a swift and strong reaction from Prime Minister Tusk in the evening, who vowed "zero pity" for the perpetrators, with arrests following shortly.
