🗣️ Speech

A presidential signature has settled the date for a fuel price drop, though it has done little to calm the political climate. While the government published a decree paving the way for cheaper petrol by October, Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski described the President’s accompanying address as brazen. Domestic politics rarely pauses for a discount at the pump. The Law and Justice party has filed a no-confidence motion against the Finance Minister, claiming the treasury is heading toward a wall. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense is drafting rules for a pre-war state, a category the Deputy Minister describes as sitting somewhere between peace and open conflict. Russia has responded with the customary threats. Health concerns remain high for Piotr Moczulski, who has been transferred to an Intensive Care Unit where doctors are currently making an appeal to his family. Separately, the Constitutional Tribunal reports it is running out of money, a shortage that has triggered a public exchange between the Marshal of the Sejm and the court’s leadership.
