16.04.2025Day Braun Raids Hospital As Trzaskowski's Support Plummets
Morning media coverage captured the continued fallout from Prime Minister Tusk's "repolonization" economic announcement from the previous day, with presidential candidate Nawrocki challenging Tusk to "start with himself" while proposing 0% VAT on food products. German Chancellor Scholz made a farewell visit to Warsaw amid deteriorating Polish-German relations.

By midday, attention shifted dramatically to politician Grzegorz Braun's forcible entry into a hospital in Oleśnica to confront a doctor performing legal abortions, calling her a "murderer" and attempting a "citizen's arrest." Minister Bodnar and numerous officials condemned the action.

The story dominating evening coverage was a major polling shift showing Trzaskowski experiencing a significant drop in support following his debate performances, with Nawrocki closing the gap to just a few percentage points, prompting speculation about a "Końskie effect" from the prior debate. Meanwhile, Justice Minister Bodnar released a report addressing the controversial prison release of Ryszard Cyba.

Wiara w wyłącznie dobroczynne skutki globalizacji to już przeszłość. Donald Tusk wie, że jeśli liberałowie nie będą dbali o narodowe interesy, władzę przejmą prawicowi populiści. Wbrew pozorom nie mówi jednak tego samego, co Donald Trump czy Jarosław Kaczyński.
