23.02.2025Pillar Falls Between Pope and Duda
Morning coverage centered on Pope Francis's critical health condition, with faithful gathering at Gemelli hospital. The Vatican's updates evolved from concerning to cautiously optimistic throughout the day.

Media struggled to interpret the implications of Duda's ten-minute CPAC meeting with Trump from the previous day. By afternoon, attention shifted to German parliamentary elections, where CDU secured victory with 29% while AfD reached second place with nearly 20%. Trump's praise for the German results added complexity to Polish interpretations of regional security.

Zelenskyy's statement about readiness to step down in exchange for NATO membership emerged as significant development, connecting to previous days' reports about Trump's peace terms. The evening brought renewed focus on Vatican updates, while Polish outlets processed Trump's satisfaction with German election results.
