30.12.2024The Day PKW Bent But Did Not Break
Morning coverage focused on a building collapse in Cieszyn, with emergency services discovering two casualties. Attention shifted to PKW's examination of PiS party finances, culminating in a 4-3 vote (with 2 abstentions) accepting their financial report. This development triggered immediate political responses, with PiS demanding immediate fund disbursement.

By afternoon, reports emerged of a jewelry store robbery in Warsaw, while PKW chairman Marciniak formally requested the Finance Ministry to process PiS's subvention. Prime Minister Tusk responded by declaring "there will be and there is no money," prompting criticism from the Ombudsman who emphasized the legal obligation to disburse funds.

Evening coverage centered on the constitutional implications of Tusk's resistance to PKW's decision, with former PMs Morawiecki and Szydło warning about systemic risks. The controversy highlighted growing tensions between institutional procedure and political will.
