The arrest of the husband of prominent journalist Danuta Holecka near a cemetery has triggered a strong political reaction, with Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, angrily condemning the detention. Police have issued a statement regarding the incident, which reporters also captured with photographic evidence.
Meanwhile, the ongoing crisis surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal has intensified. Zbigniew Kapiński, the First President of the Supreme Court, described recent events as having "features of a coup d'état" and noted the involvement of over 1000 police officers. The dispute is reportedly causing significant financial losses for Polish citizens, particularly pensioners and homeowners, affecting their benefits and tax reliefs. Furthermore, a government official, Grabiec, authorized judges' passage through the Chancellery of the Prime Minister at the request of police and SOP.
In other news, a sexual scandal has emerged within a military unit, involving alleged exchanges of sexual favors for career advancement. Economist Professor Hausner has warned Poland about an impending "fiscal cliff" with no room for maneuver, while a new forecast suggests a higher revaluation for minimum pensions in March 2027, though seniors may not significantly benefit. Grzegorz Braun, a Member of the European Parliament, has also sparked discussion with controversial statements.
