[00:00:00] round of last year's presidential elections, Karol Nawrodzki obtained
[00:00:03] 50.89%
[00:00:05] of the votes, thus surpassing his counter-candidate
[00:00:09] Rafał Trzaskowski, for whom 49.11%
[00:00:11] of Poles voted. The official
[00:00:15] celebrations today will begin at
[00:00:18] 5 p.m.
[00:00:20] Scandal in Bytom. The mayor of the city dismissed the director
[00:00:24] of one of the primary schools. The man is also
[00:00:27] forbidden from approaching the facility. The case is related to
[00:00:31] allegations concerning the possession of pornographic content involving
[00:00:34] minors. The man faces up to five years
[00:00:38] in prison. The charges against the man concern accessing
[00:00:41] pornographic content involving more than one
[00:00:45] minor. The city office in Bytom announced that due to the
[00:00:48] gravity and credibility of the allegations,
[00:00:51] immediately after receiving information from the prosecutor's office, they dismissed the director
[00:00:55] of the facility from his position. The suspect partially admitted to
[00:00:58] the charges of the director. The officers of the Central Bureau
[00:01:01] for Combating Cybercrime arrested him on July 27.
[00:01:05] The investigation is the result of a nationwide operation
[00:01:08] carried out by this unit together with the Human Trafficking Department
[00:01:11] of the Criminal Bureau of the General Police
[00:01:15] Headquarters. Young users of electric
[00:01:18] scooters are terrorizing the streets of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. A group
[00:01:22] of teenagers notoriously breaks traffic
[00:01:25] regulations. The police station in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski
[00:01:29] has been informed. Scooters
[00:01:30] are flagrantly
[00:01:35] violating traffic regulations. Videos show them
[00:01:39] occupying the entire width of roads and sidewalks, crossing
[00:01:42] intersections, and exceeding the speed limit. Officers
[00:01:46] have already identified three people. The case of the juvenile
[00:01:49] road destroyers will go to the Family
[00:01:52] Court.
[00:01:55] In Hungary, concern is growing about the future of Lake Balaton. The water
[00:01:59] level of the largest lake in the country has dropped to one of
[00:02:03] the lowest levels in recorded history. In many places, the shoreline
[00:02:06] has receded by several tens of meters, revealing
[00:02:10] muddy bottom and strips of dried vegetation.
[00:02:14] This year's level, in some places approaching 55
[00:02:18] cm, ranks among the lowest in recorded
[00:02:21] history, in the entire history of measurements.
[00:02:24] The record low level of Balaton was recorded in
[00:02:27] 2003, when... the water level dropped to about
[00:02:31] 60 cm. Now meteorologists are talking
[00:02:35] about a long-term precipitation deficit, which is deepening
[00:02:38] with each season. Winter did not replenish the losses, and intense
[00:02:42] evaporation in summer only accelerates the drop in water level. Experts
[00:02:46] warn that if abundant rainfall does not come,
[00:02:49] Balaton could enter its most serious
[00:02:52] hydrological crisis in decades.
[00:02:56] And that's all from me in this service. Of course, in less than half an hour,
[00:03:00] I will return to you with another batch of information. We are waiting for more information from Izabella
[00:03:03] Kozdraś. We return to politics. Law and Justice without subsidies
[00:03:07] or grants. The court dismissed the cassation. It concerns the PiS complaint
[00:03:10] regarding the so-called inactivity of the body, the
[00:03:13] non-payment by the Ministry of Finance of grants for the party. More on this from
[00:03:17] the Sejm now, Adamina Sajkowska. Adamina,
[00:03:20] tell us how this matter looks from the
[00:03:22] beginning. Indeed, the Supreme Administrative Court
[00:03:26] rejected the cassation in the matter of subsidies and grants for Law and Justice.
[00:03:30] Law and Justice indicated that the Ministry of Finance is inactive
[00:03:33] and has not paid the third installment of the subsidy for the party. But
[00:03:36] let's remember that the Ministry of Finance, according to the court, acted on
[00:03:40] the basis of the State Electoral Commission and its decision not to accept
[00:03:44] the financial report of Law and Justice, and thus
[00:03:47] to reduce the subsidy for this party. This was announced by
[00:03:51] Finance Minister Andrzej Domański, who also took to
[00:03:54] X and wrote, "A devastating verdict for PiS in the matter of
[00:03:57] subsidies and grants upheld. Cassation
[00:04:00] dismissed. No doubts, another PiS lie
[00:04:03] exposed." Prime Minister Donald Tusk echoed him, also commenting
[00:04:07] and writing, "As we said, there is no
[00:04:10] money for fraudsters and there will not be."
[00:04:13] And Andrzej Domański, the Minister of Finance, reminded
[00:04:17] that the State Electoral Commission decided not to
[00:04:21] accept the financial report of Law and
[00:04:24] Justice due to irregularities in spending
[00:04:28] during the parliamentary campaign in... 2023.
[00:04:31] As a result, Law and Justice for 2024
[00:04:36] meters from the shore on an received 15 million zlotys in grants, which is over 10 million less
[00:04:40] than the party should receive for 2024. This
[00:04:44] is certainly very painful for Jarosław Kaczyński's party, and
[00:04:48] It is known that this tragedy occurred on the party is asking all
[00:04:50] sympathizers for donations.
[00:04:53] Adamina Sajkowska with this information directly from the Sejm, thank you very much. And with
[00:04:57] me in the studio, the guest I announced, Professor Tomaska, University of Warsaw, good
[00:05:01] morning, Professor, good morning, Rector, good morning everyone. And this topic for
[00:05:03] starters, there's probably not much to discuss, because the topic
[00:05:07] has been known to us for, you could say, several years. But
[00:05:10] now there is this decision of the Supreme
[00:05:14] Administrative Court and political comments on this matter. Another
[00:05:17] blow to Law and Justice at a not very good moment for the party? Well,
[00:05:21] a huge blow, because as we know, since 2001, the model
[00:05:25] of financing political parties in Poland is actually based on
[00:05:28] budgetary subsidies, and
[00:05:32] the lack of these relatively large
[00:05:36] funds, well, not so huge for the state budget, but for political
[00:05:39] parties, yes, is very... a huge
[00:05:43] detriment to daily functioning, let alone an election
[00:05:46] campaign, which is approaching and the election
[00:05:49] fund should already be richly supplied in
[00:05:53] preparations for what will happen next year. As we hear,
[00:05:57] politicians are already appealing to their voters for financial
[00:06:00] support. I will ask about these voters in the context of what is happening in PiS,
[00:06:04] that is, the split, that is, what
[00:06:07] we hear, for example, regarding today's
[00:06:11] convention.
[00:06:30] This is a very interesting case of a somewhat chaotic political action to save
[00:06:34] the image, but it fits into a broader context,
[00:06:38] because actually since 2023, Law and
[00:06:40] Justice has no concept of how
[00:06:44] to be in opposition. No groundbreaking concept
[00:06:47] was born to go into 2027
[00:06:51] with something absolutely new and
[00:06:54] appealing to particularly young voters, because they will be
[00:06:58] one of the key elements here. On top of this is
[00:07:02] the lack of results from these actions that
[00:07:05] are taking place. I am thinking here of Przemysław
[00:07:09] Czarnek's actions, for example. There is no Czarnek effect, unless we understand it
[00:07:12] in the opposite way, meaning that PiS is losing on this
[00:07:16] candidacy, this supposed candidacy, because it's hard to say it's a candidate for
[00:07:19] prime minister, and of course, the third thing is
[00:07:23] the issue of the split. And it turns
[00:07:26] out that Law and Justice will remain with
[00:07:30] its iron electorate, which is barely
[00:07:33] 20% of voters. In confrontation
[00:07:37] with the growing Confederacies, this
[00:07:40] is a defeat for the time being.
[00:07:44] To this political puzzle, I will add President Karol Nawrocki, who today
[00:07:47] celebrates a year of his presidency. And I will ask in
[00:07:51] the context of PiS, because I read various comments
[00:07:54] in which I gather that PiS, not
[00:07:57] only in reaction to the split, but also in reaction to these presidential
[00:08:01] celebrations, would like to, in inverted commas, latch onto
[00:08:04] these celebrations and go with the president,
[00:08:08] but Karol Nawrocki's environment
[00:08:11] does not necessarily look favorably on this. Where is the president in all
[00:08:15] this? Well, Karol Nawrocki is in a somewhat
[00:08:18] difficult situation, not only Law and Justice,
[00:08:22] because again, I will refer to organization and
[00:08:25] money. If Karol Nawrocki in 2030
[00:08:28] wants to run for president again, he probably
[00:08:32] will, he needs huge funds and needs
[00:08:36] a good organization. Well, that's the philosophy of Polish presidential
[00:08:39] elections. A candidate who does not have a large
[00:08:43] organization and huge money for an
[00:08:47] election campaign never wins.
[00:08:51] Law and Justice for now remains the most
[00:08:54] important reference point
[00:08:55] for Nawrocki.
[00:08:58] On the other hand, Nawrocki has his political ambitions, and
[00:09:02] a lot indicates that he would like to be, for now, a
[00:09:05] patron, perhaps of a new, broader right-wing
[00:09:09] camp after the end of even two
[00:09:13] terms. He will still be a young politician, perhaps a new leader
[00:09:16] of the Polish right. So Nawrocki must
[00:09:20] position himself, colloquially speaking, with two
[00:09:23] feet, partly in the existing PiS, and partly
[00:09:27] looking ahead to a new political
[00:09:31] concept. However, at this stage, on the other hand, it is somewhat
[00:09:35] PiS that needs the president to possibly rebuild its
[00:09:38] political losses after Morawiecki's departure. Since
[00:09:42] we are talking about the president, for a few days now, we have had these
[00:09:45] summaries regarding Karol Nawrocki's presidency.
[00:09:48] If we're talking about
[00:09:51] such key points, then those 41
[00:09:55] vetoed bills, because Karol Nawrocki goes down in history
[00:09:58] with that number.
[00:10:01] In your opinion, how does it look, from
[00:10:04] the perspective of such an observer of the political scene, because
[00:10:08] we know that friction between the president and the government is not new, it's
[00:10:11] not the first president who goes through such a
[00:10:15] situation, but as we see here, in this case, it's probably the sharpest. The
[00:10:18] editor said that these vetoes, 41
[00:10:22] vetoed bills, are something specific. So
[00:10:31] it is, because it distinguishes him from others. I have been studying the Polish
[00:10:34] presidency for 30 years, and I must
[00:10:38] say that this is a very interesting case of a president who very consistently tries
[00:10:42] to build something that I call in my research
[00:10:44] neo-Caesarism, referring to
[00:10:48] his own legitimacy derived from popular
[00:10:51] elections, he tries to show public opinion, I am key here.
[00:10:56] I have stronger legitimacy than the government and I should also
[00:10:59] have more power, because the nation supported me.
[00:11:02] The president has said many times that
[00:11:06] the nation elected him, the nation supports him, and he is to serve
[00:11:10] the nation. So this is building such a populist narrative
[00:11:14] of a national leader who should have
[00:11:17] key mechanisms in his
[00:11:21] own hands. So it is an exceptional
[00:11:24] presidency. On top of that, the announcement of a new constitution. As
[00:11:28] I understand, not all cards have been laid out yet, but as I understand, it
[00:11:31] would be built on the basis of strong
[00:11:35] individual power located in the presidential
[00:11:38] palace. It is very possible that today during the anniversary celebrations,
[00:11:41] the president will again refer to this idea. Well, we'll see, because it's
[00:11:45] at 5 p.m. We will certainly be showing it to you. Finally,
[00:11:48] I will ask whether the president manages to emerge with his
[00:11:52] dignity intact from these vetoes? I am thinking here,
[00:11:56] for example, about the safe program, because that was a very loud case,
[00:11:59] the entire voice of the military who stood firmly with the government in this
[00:12:03] matter, saying that it was the only option to defend Poland.
[00:12:07] The president stood firm by his position. Well, for now, there are no
[00:12:11] sharp declines in the president's ratings. He
[00:12:14] maintains a level of stable
[00:12:18] support. This also does not entirely result from the specific qualities
[00:12:22] of this particular president, but very often... let's note that
[00:12:26] presidents are the most popular politicians in the country, because they are
[00:12:29] most often the most recognizable politicians, and
[00:12:32] therefore, partly not only merit, but also recognition determines
[00:12:36] that we accept what
[00:12:39] the president does. Safe is for me a somewhat surprising situation, because I
[00:12:43] thought there would be much more serious consequences
[00:12:46] of this veto. Perhaps, when some
[00:12:49] failures in armament, in the
[00:12:52] defense program
[00:12:55] of the state could affect us,
[00:12:58] then this issue will return and remind the president that
[00:13:02] he vetoed Safe. For now, such a great loss is not visible.
[00:13:06] Professor Tomasz Słonka, political scientist at the University of Warsaw, thank you very much, Professor,
[00:13:09] for this meeting. We are not only dealing with politics
[00:13:13] today in the program, we are also dealing, or perhaps most importantly,
[00:13:16] with the weather, because in this weather, there's a heatwave. Monika
[00:13:19] Andrzejczak is checking the details for you. Tell us what's ahead. Good morning.
[00:13:23] This high temperature has reached... even the peaks of the Tatras. I must tell you that
[00:13:27] I am surprised, at Kasprowy Wierch it is currently 20
[00:13:30] degrees. In a few hours, it will be even higher. Forecasters say that on
[00:13:33] the peaks of the Tatras today, it may warm up to 23,
[00:13:37] maybe even to 25 degrees. What is interesting, in
[00:13:40] these conditions, there will be no thunderstorms today on the Carpathian
[00:13:44] peaks. It would seem that these are ideal conditions for hiking, but
[00:13:48] still, you have to be careful, because with such scorching sun, with
[00:13:51] this temperature, you can get a nasty sunburn. What
[00:13:55] will happen in other parts of the country? We know that it's raining and thundering in some places on
[00:13:59] the border of Opole Voivodeship and Lower Silesia, also in the Kłodzko
[00:14:03] Basin. In other regions, the morning is calm for
[00:14:06] now, but already very warm, though with varying temperatures, from
[00:14:10] 22, 23 degrees in northern regions to 31
[00:14:13] already near Rzeszów. With each passing hour, the temperatures will be even higher
[00:14:17] on the thermometers, but not everywhere today will we experience a heatwave, because in
[00:14:21] the northwest it's below 30, and there it will be a calm
[00:14:25] summer day until evening. However, in other places, apart from
[00:14:28] the mentioned Carpathians, let's beware of dangerous, violent
[00:14:31] thunderstorms. See you.
[00:14:34] Monika Andrzejczak, with this warning at the end, thank you very much. But there are
[00:14:38] more warnings, among others, regarding what is happening on the water. Tragic
[00:14:41] statistics that the services are reporting regarding only
[00:14:45] August, let's remember, it's only the sixth day of the month, and in
[00:14:49] total there are already eight fatal victims, eight drownings, among
[00:14:53] others those from Lake
[00:14:55] Durowskie in Wągrowiec. Two 13-year-olds drowned precisely
[00:14:59] in this lake. The tragedy happened a few
[00:15:01] unguarded beach. In Wągrowiec is Jakub
[00:15:04] Szustakowski. Tell us what we know
[00:15:07] about this matter?
[00:15:13] an unguarded beach, because the proper one
[00:15:17] is undergoing revitalization. As
[00:15:20] the police reported, according to witnesses, at
[00:15:23] first in the water, there was one
[00:15:27] boy. The second, when he saw that he
[00:15:30] was starting to drown, rushed to his
[00:15:33] rescue, but soon both were under
[00:15:37] water. Then the third one on
[00:15:41] the shore called the emergency services. He
[00:15:44] called the emergency number
[00:15:46] 112. We also know that
[00:15:50] before the services arrived, who received the report
[00:15:53] of this incident after 2 p.m.,
[00:15:57] divers also entered the water to save
[00:16:01] the boys, including a WOPR
[00:16:03] diver from Wągrowiec.
[00:16:07] Nine fire brigades were dispatched, including rescue divers
[00:16:11] from the specialized underwater rescue group from Piła, as well
[00:16:15] as sonar operators from the specialized sonar group from
[00:16:19] Poznań. In the meantime, of course,
[00:16:22] a procedure was also launched to notify
[00:16:26] other entities that could assist in water rescue,
[00:16:29] and one of the members
[00:16:32] of WOPR arrived at the scene even before the firefighters. He
[00:16:36] retrieved these two teenagers from beneath the
[00:16:39] water.
[00:16:44] The thirteen-year-olds were said to have been underwater for about
[00:16:48] 40 minutes. Despite the rapid response
[00:16:51] of the services, a long resuscitation, and
[00:16:55] rescue operation, their
[00:16:57] lives could not be saved. Now
[00:17:00] the circumstances of this tragedy will be investigated by the police
[00:17:04] under the supervision of the prosecutor's office.
[00:17:07] Rustakowski, thank you very much for the report. And now, a massive fire at a shopping
[00:17:11] center in Bydgoszcz. The fire engulfed a large part of the building. Numerous
[00:17:14] fire brigades are on site. In Bydgoszcz is Olga Taraszka
[00:17:18] Knut. Tell us what is known about the course of the firefighting operation? And
[00:17:22] is anything being initially said about the causes of this
[00:17:24] fire?
[00:17:28] Good morning. Firefighters received a report about a fire on Kosaka Street
[00:17:32] in Bydgoszcz around 11:30 PM.
[00:17:35] The fire started in one of the drugstores and spread very quickly,
[00:17:38] engulfing the roof of this drugstore, as well as several
[00:17:42] nearby establishments, including a butcher shop, a pharmacy, and a
[00:17:46] pizzeria. In total, this area is 10
[00:17:49] square meters, of which two-thirds were burned.
[00:17:53] This firefighting operation lasted throughout the night, for many hours. Firefighters
[00:17:56] initially tried to control the fire, then searched the area
[00:18:00] for victims. Fortunately, no one was harmed.
[00:18:04] 20 fire brigades participated in the operation. Residents
[00:18:07] of Bydgoszcz are still here in large numbers, and
[00:18:11] are going through this whole situation.
[00:18:12] Let's listen.
[00:18:15] It's a tragedy, I heard that this won't be here anymore, no, it's terrible,
[00:18:19] just a massacre. Well, it is a tragedy, I truly
[00:18:22] sympathize, really, because one feels bad when
[00:18:26] such tragedies happen, because we hear about these fires in Bydgoszcz
[00:18:30] more and more often.
[00:18:31] Me,
[00:18:35] the police are still on site, securing the area. Unauthorized
[00:18:39] persons are not allowed here. As you can see, the police
[00:18:43] tape is still stretched. As for the causes
[00:18:46] of this fire, it is initially attributed to a technical
[00:18:50] malfunction and a short circuit.
[00:18:53] Olga Traszka Knót, thank you very much for this latest information. And now,
[00:18:57] a series of searches of offices and private apartments in connection with the proceedings
[00:19:00] concerning Radosław Piesiewicz. Officers
[00:19:03] of the National Revenue Administration and the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau
[00:19:07] entered... several places where they secured documentation
[00:19:10] and data carriers. Dominika Kowalewska is outside the Regional Public Prosecutor's Office
[00:19:13] in Gdańsk. Tell us what
[00:19:16] we know about this case?
[00:19:19] Good morning. Indeed, this investigation is being conducted
[00:19:23] in the case of Radosław Piesiewicz. Here, investigators from
[00:19:26] Gdańsk suspect that Radosław
[00:19:29] Piesiewicz may have committed financial and economic
[00:19:32] malversations, and primarily we are talking about entities
[00:19:35] such as PKL, of which... he is still the president, let's remember, but
[00:19:39] we are also talking about entities, perhaps most importantly, such as the Polish Basketball
[00:19:43] Association, of which Radosław Kiesiewicz was the president until
[00:19:46] 2024. Just a moment ago, I spoke with
[00:19:50] representatives of the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Gdańsk. They confirmed that such
[00:19:54] searches took place. They say that they were
[00:19:57] already planned, that they are part
[00:20:01] of the investigation, that the investigation is being conducted according to the schedule.
[00:20:04] I also heard that these searches were extensive. Documents
[00:20:50] and electronic data carriers for a large,
[00:20:53] difficult, multi-threaded case
[00:20:57] conducted by the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Gdańsk. It concerns
[00:21:01] irregularities in the spending of money by the Polish
[00:21:04] Basketball Federation, the Polish Basketball League,
[00:21:08] and the Polish Olympic
[00:21:11] Committee.
[00:21:14] The investigation in this case by the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Gdańsk
[00:21:18] has been ongoing since March of last year. As I heard today, a lot is happening
[00:21:21] in this investigation, and it is not excluded that Radosław
[00:21:25] Piesiewicz will be questioned. At the moment, it is still
[00:21:28] unknown in what
[00:21:32] form, and charges have not yet been filed in this
[00:21:36] case. This is also important information.
[00:21:38] Let us recall that the main thread that
[00:21:42] this investigation concerns is the thread of unreliable and
[00:21:46] suspicions that Radosław Piesiewicz may have issued unreliable invoices.
[00:21:59] This could mean that Radosław Piesiewicz could face
[00:22:02] up to 25 years imprisonment.
[00:22:04] And about
[00:25:40] 9:30 Izabela
[00:25:41] Kozdraś.
[00:25:51] Services conducted further searches in connection with the proceedings
[00:25:55] concerning Radosław Piesiewicz, the current president
[00:25:58] of the Polish Olympic Committee. The operation took place on Tuesday
[00:26:02] and lasted several hours across the country.
