24.03.2025Day Tusk's "Machetes" Comment Ignites Deregulation Debate
US-Ukraine talks in Riyadh dominated morning coverage, described as "constructive and substantive" across multiple outlets. By midday, Prime Minister Tusk's controversial "machetes in motion" comment during a deregulation meeting sparked intense media reaction, with opposition outlets characterizing it as threatening.

Presidential race developments showed Sławomir Mentzen gaining ground on PiS candidate Karol Nawrocki, whose campaign faced additional challenges when Polityka reported alleged connections to a neonazi figure. Meanwhile, Trzaskowski positioned himself as having superior diplomatic credentials for dealing with Trump.

Defense issues remained prominent with Foreign Minister Sikorski warning that Russia might develop capabilities for aggression "by the end of the decade," while Duda and Nawrocki jointly flew to Toruń to commemorate Poles who saved Jews during WWII.

Evening coverage shifted to Poland's 2-0 football victory over Malta in World Cup qualifying, with Karol Świderski scoring both goals in a performance described as unimpressive but effective.
