Polish Police Arrest Two Former Ministers in Presidential Palace
High-ranking members of Poland's Law and Justice Party (PiS), former Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski and his deputy Maciej Wasik, were arrested by police on judicial orders. The arrests follow a 2015 pardon by President Andrzej Duda, an ally of PiS, which was annulled by the Supreme Court, leading to a retrial and a two-year prison sentence for both. The arrests occurred at the presidential palace during a ceremony hosted by Duda, escalating tensions between the government and the president. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who won the October elections, has accused Duda of representing PiS interests and obstructing justice. The arrests have postponed a parliamentary session and have been both criticized and welcomed by various political figures, with some protests occurring outside the police station.

Spread & Over/Under Predictions: Charlotte Hornets at Detroit Pistons
The article provides betting predictions for the NBA game between the Charlotte Hornets and the Detroit Pistons. It suggests a 3-star confidence level in betting on the Pistons to cover the -2.5 spread, citing the Hornets' numerous injuries.

Key players missing for Charlotte include LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams, while Brandon Miller is highlighted as a potential game-changer.

European elections: towards a shift to the radical right?
A study by the think tank ECFR indicates that anti-European populists are likely to lead polls in nine EU member states and be in second or third position in nine others, potentially influencing European policies significantly, especially on environmental issues and immigration. The current center-left coalition in the European Parliament may lose ground to a right-wing coalition, which could dominate with an 'anti-climate' stance. The success of anti-establishment populist parties in the 2024 elections could impact national debates and the positions that state leaders feel capable of taking post-election.

A new start between Germany and Poland
Germany and Poland have initiated a new phase of cooperation after years of strained relations under the previous Polish government led by PiS. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz signed a 'plan of action' to enhance collaboration in military, industrial, cultural, and educational sectors. The agreement aims to strengthen security and defense, particularly in the Baltic region and NATO's eastern flank, in response to threats from Russia. However, experts note the lack of concrete commitments or financial details. The initiative 'A Safe Sky Over Europe' was highlighted as a key project for regional security.

Ukraine’s fresh existential threat – from the polling booths of the European Parliament elections
Ukraine faces a new threat from the rise of hard-Right parties in Europe, which are expected to perform well in the upcoming European Parliament elections. These parties, including Germany's AfD, Hungary's Fidesz, and Austria's Freedom Party, could form a significant bloc capable of influencing EU foreign policy. Many advocate for ending aid to Ukraine, appeasing Putin, and pushing for peace talks. Viktor Orban of Hungary and other right-wing leaders have expressed reluctance to continue supporting Ukraine financially and militarily. Eurosceptic parties are predicted to win in several EU member states, potentially impacting the EU's stance on the Ukraine crisis.

Polish Protests Block Ukraine Border Crossings Amid Rising Tensions
Polish protests led by the Committee for the Defense of Carriers and Transport Employers (KOPIPT) are blocking major Poland-Ukraine border crossings, causing significant delays and tensions. The protestors demand a limit on Ukrainian drivers entering Poland, accusing them of undercutting local businesses. Ukrainian officials deny these claims. The EU had suspended transport permits as part of the Solidarity Lanes Initiative to aid Ukraine's exports after Russia's blockade of Black Sea ports. Protestors want the EU to reinstate permits. The Confederation of Liberty and Independence Party, with anti-Ukrainian stances, supports the protests. Polish companies face increased competition from Ukrainian haulers, and the blockade is affecting Ukraine's agricultural exports. The situation is complicated by Poland's political transition and the EU's stance on maintaining current agreements with Ukraine.

Comic Artists Without Protections: A New Survey Pushes for a Minimum Wage for Creatives
A market survey conducted by Lynx Research Unit of the Scuola Imt Alti Studi di Lucca, funded by the Ministry of Culture's Direzione generale Creatività Contemporanea, reveals that three-quarters of comic artists earn less than 15,000 euros net per year. The study, titled 'L’Italia a nuvolette,' was presented in Lucca and is based on interviews with 54 industry figures and 508 comic artists. It highlights the lack of protections, low income, and the need for a minimum wage in the comics industry. The research also points out the trend of self-publishing through alternative platforms and the potential impact of AI on original artwork. The Inps has confirmed its commitment to providing pension funds for comic creators, and the study suggests the establishment of a union for the sector.

New quarrel in Law and Justice. Starring Błaszczak and Mastalerek
A new dispute has arisen within the Law and Justice (PiS) party, featuring former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak and Mastalerek. Błaszczak dismissed an initiative discussed on Radio Zet, doubting its future success, which prompted a critical response from Mastalerek. Mastalerek, an early advocate for accountability within PiS following the United Right's loss of power in the October 15, 2023 elections, had previously acknowledged that PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński should retire from politics. Despite calls for change, Kaczyński announced his intention to run for party leadership again at next year's congress. The article also briefly mentions other political figures such as Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski, Eliza Michalik, Artur Soboń, and Zbigniew Ziobro.

Will Donald Tusk ground Poland's multibillion airport plans?
The opposition alliance in Poland, led by Donald Tusk, is considering scrapping the Central Communication Port (CPK) project, a major infrastructure initiative integrating air, rail, and road transport. Critics argue the project is a costly and socially damaging embodiment of right-wing megalomania, while supporters claim it is essential for economic growth and logistics improvement. The project, estimated to cost around $10 billion, has already seen significant investment and land acquisition. However, local residents express concerns over unfair compensation and environmental impact. The debate continues on whether the project will benefit Poland or serve political interests.

Corruption Watch: Police corruption: Glimmer in the gloom
A member of the Police Internal Security and Intelligence (Pisi) in Harare, Zimbabwe, contacted the author for an inquiry without proper introduction or explanation, reflecting a broader issue of police misconduct. A senior police officer in Kwekwe was reported for extorting money from a motorist, but instead of addressing the corruption, he returned the bribe and ignored the subsequent harassment of the complainant. The Anti-Corruption Trust of Southern Africa (Act-SA) and its director, Obert Chinhamo, faced intimidation for exposing the incident. Media coverage led to the police commissioner general, Godwin Matanga, initiating an investigation into the Kwekwe police corruption. The new Kwekwe district commanding officer, Chief Superintendent Ison Chapeta, has taken a strong stance against corruption, offering protection to anti-corruption activists and promising to address the issue. The situation in Kwekwe suggests that with sufficient willpower, police corruption can be significantly reduced.

Can Tusk disentangle Poland from its last 'authoritarian' rulers?
Poland's new Prime Minister Donald Tusk is facing challenges in his efforts to reverse the legacy of the previous Law and Justice (PiS) government, which is accused of leading the country towards authoritarianism. Tusk's pro-European government has already put state media into liquidation, but faces opposition from President Andrzej Duda, a PiS ally. The government aims to restore pluralism and investigate alleged abuses of power under PiS, but faces constitutional and legislative hurdles. Poland remains a divided nation with upcoming local and European Parliament elections adding to the uncertainty. The Ukraine war also presents a significant challenge for Tusk's government, which seeks to balance social spending with rising military expenses.

Poland's Political Crisis and Media Bias: An Analysis
The article discusses a political dispute in Poland, focusing on the actions of the new Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, against the nationalist conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS). The police entered the presidential palace and detained two MPs, Michał Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik, who were under the protection of President Andrzej Duda. The article criticizes a Politico.eu story for being biased, suggesting it supports Tusk's actions without question. The author expresses skepticism about the narrative that Tusk's actions are in the interest of restoring the rule of law, pointing out that Tusk has seized control of media and is attempting to root out PiS loyalists. The article implies that the situation in Poland is more complex than a simple fight for democracy and suggests that the EU's support for Tusk may be politically motivated.
