08.08.2025The Funds Scandal, The President's Initiative
Polish media on August 8th predominantly focused on the unfolding "KPO scandal," reporting widespread public outrage and the prosecution's involvement regarding alleged irregularities in EU recovery fund spending. Early morning reports detailed specific, controversial expenditures like yacht purchases and funds for a swingers' club, fueling government scrutiny. Prime Minister Tusk expressed dissatisfaction with explanations provided, leading to ministerial hints of further consequences. Concurrently, President Karol Nawrocki maintained his active early presidency. He signed and advanced the "PIT 0% for families" bill, explicitly contrasting his agenda of support for families with the KPO misuses. This legislative push fueled reports of a burgeoning "palace war" between Nawrocki and Tusk, a dynamic that began developing on previous days. The First Lady's potential public engagement also garnered media attention throughout the day.
