Retired Police Officer Questions Police Deployment During Kraków Attack

-
An anonymous retired Kraków police officer has raised concerns about reduced police patrols in the city's Main Market Square during the November 7, 2026, attack. In a letter sent to the media, the former officer, who served 16 years with the Kraków police, claimed that Police Prevention Units (OPP) had been deployed to Warsaw to secure demonstrations near the Constitutional Tribunal, leaving significantly fewer officers patrolling central Kraków. According to the letter, a single police vehicle was assigned to cover an area normally patrolled by as many as eight to ten units. The former officer suggested that a stronger police presence might have reduced the number of casualties. He also revealed that his wife and young son had passed through the area shortly before the attack, encountering officers who were later wounded. The officer's claims about police deployment and its possible impact on the attack have not been independently verified.

Polish Journalists' Association protests following police actions

-
 The Association of Polish Journalists (SDP) has strongly condemned a police operation at TV Republika's headquarters, warning that demands for editorial materials, licensing documents, and journalists' work schedules threaten press freedom and the confidentiality of journalistic sources. The Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime's actions prompted an official protest from the SDP, which raised concerns about government interference in media independence. Another broadcaster, wPolsce24, reported receiving a similar police request for footage of an October demonstration outside Poland's Constitutional Tribunal. The station refused to release the materials, citing legal advice and concerns that the footage could be used to identify protesters.

Is Donald Tusk a dictator?

-
 The assault on the Constitutional Tribunal has captured the public imagination. PM Donald Tusk has revealed his dictatorial side and—to put it bluntly—has broken democracy.  Everything suggests that he now plans to go further. One should expect a power grab targeting the Supreme Court, as well as a ruthless campaign against the opposition, the President, and the free media (the last one already started). It does not look like he will be saved; rather, he is likely to depart in disgrace.  Regardless of how much we might discuss it, he heads one of the weakest governments in Polish history—a government that has devastated public finances while offering nothing in return.  Quite the contrary: Mr. Tusk’s administration shows immense determination in dismantling all the economic initiatives of the previous government—initiatives that could have brought significant benefits to Poland. One can only hope that he does not manage to destroy them all.
