11.08.2025The Veto's Dawn, The KPO's European Inquiry
Polish media on August 11th focused primarily on two evolving narratives. The KPO scandal escalated significantly as the European Prosecutor's Office intervened, initiating an inquiry into alleged misuses of EU recovery funds. New revelations detailed controversial expenditures, including yacht funding and cultural project irregularities, with Prime Minister Tusk initially threatening consequences for those responsible, later attributing blame to the opposition. Concurrently, President Nawrocki emerged as a dominant editorial priority. Discussion centered on his potential first presidential veto regarding the wind farm bill aimed at freezing energy prices, indicating a direct political confrontation with the government. Media coverage highlighted his public image and political maneuvering, further developing the "palace war" dynamic observed in previous days. The impending Trump-Putin summit remained a consistent international concern, with experts speculating on its implications for Poland. Separately, the death of former anti-terrorist officer Jerzy Dziewulski received widespread attention during midday.
