22.03.2025Day Skrzypek Funeral Unites Divided Opposition
Barbara Skrzypek's funeral in Gorlice dominated Saturday's coverage, bringing together opposition figures including President Duda, who posthumously awarded her the Knight's Cross of Polonia Restituta. Kaczyński delivered an emotional speech expressing regret, stating "I will never forgive myself," continuing the politicization of her death after previous days' controversy over her questioning by prosecutors.

Prime Minister Tusk visited the Belarus border, claiming 98% effectiveness in stopping illegal crossings and sharing footage of migrants "deliberately brought by Belarusians." This coincided with anti-migration protests in Zgorzelec against immigrants from Germany, where Bąkiewicz called for a "Border Defense Movement."

Sports briefly diverted attention as Paweł Wąsek achieved his first-ever Ski Jumping World Cup podium finish in Lahti, Finland.

By evening, Pope Francis's hospital discharge announcement provided relief amid continued political division, with accusations of "provocateurs" at the Zgorzelec protest potentially seeking to discredit the demonstrators.

Obsesyjne upieranie się w kwestii prymatu zawieszenia broni wyprowadzi USA Donalda Trumpa na manowce. Niebezpiecznie przeciągająca się i nierozstrzygnięta wojna z Ukrainą jest z perspektywy Rosji niebezpiecznym precedensem. I dlatego Władimir Putin nie chce „odpuścić”.
