The Minister's Judicial Reshaping defined Polish media coverage. Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek's actions dominated headlines from late morning, as he announced widespread dismissals of court presidents and reaffirmed his commitment to restoring the rule of law. These moves were consistently reported as significant "purges" across multiple outlets. By afternoon, the political response intensified, with former Justice Minister Ziobro issuing an ultimatum to Żurek, while Prime Minister Tusk publicly downplayed the controversy. Concurrently, President Duda entered the fray in the evening, publicly mocking the new minister. Separately, the conviction of Senator Gawłowski in the melioration scandal received considerable attention in the morning. Additionally, news emerged regarding President-elect Karol Nawrocki completing the formation of his chancellery, outlining the structure of the incoming administration.
