09.04.2025Day Presidential Debate Gets Scheduled While Trump Suspends Global Tariffs
Presidential candidate Trzaskowski challenged PiS candidate Nawrocki to a debate in Końskie, which Nawrocki accepted with the condition that all television stations participate, not just those perceived as pro-government. This sparked controversy about media pluralism.

Morning headlines focused on Trump's trade policies, with reports of his mockery of foreign leaders seeking tariff relief. By mid-day, attention shifted to media freedom issues after an administrative court revoked broadcasting licenses for right-wing TV stations Republika and wPolsce24, prompting accusations from PiS politicians of "liquidating democracy" and threats of street protests.

The European Union approved its first round of retaliatory tariffs against the US despite Hungary's opposition, but by evening Trump announced he would suspend tariffs for 90 days on 75 countries that had not retaliated, while increasing tariffs on China to 125%. Prime Minister Tusk responded to this unexpected development.
