04.12.2024The Day Barnier's Tower Fell While Kaczyński Lost His Shield
Morning coverage focused on parliamentary commission proceedings against Kaczyński and other PiS MPs regarding immunity removal, culminating in afternoon recommendations to strip their parliamentary protection. The case relates to previous days' developments around the wreath-throwing incident.

By midday, media attention shifted to European developments: police searches at former EU Commissioner Reynders' properties and mounting evidence about financial misconduct. This story gained prominence as Polish government officials attempted to distance themselves from previous connections.

Evening brought unprecedented political developments in France, with Barnier's government falling to a no-confidence vote - the first such occurrence since 1962. This dominated late coverage, partially overshadowing domestic developments including new hospital funding crisis reports and warnings about incoming severe weather conditions. Throughout the day, coverage continued of Korean political crisis aftermath and Georgian protests.
