Weather dominated afternoon news with RCB alerts issued for ten provinces warning of severe storms and instructing residents to seek shelter. The weather crisis prompted over 600 emergency responses.

Podczas swojej wypowiedzi na konferencji EFNI w Sopocie, premier Donald Tusk podkreślił, że priorytetem państwowych koncernów energetycznych nie powinien być zysk, tylko zapewnianie krajowi bezpieczeństwa energetycznego. W reakcji na te słowa kursy giełdowe spółek wyraźnie spadły. Eksperci zwracają uwagę, że jest to zwrot w polityce rządu, ponieważ niedawno minister aktywów państwowych zapowiadał, że państwowe spółki powinny skupiać się na wypłacaniu dywidend.

Opowieści o „przerzucaniu migrantów do Polski” świetnie się sprawdzają w prawicowej retoryce: pomagają nie tylko w budowaniu klasycznej histerii antymigracyjnej na potrzeby kampanii wyborczej, ale też w tworzeniu narracji o agresywnych działaniach Niemiec, wobec których poddańczy rząd Tuska jak zwykle się ugiął.
