Why It Matters

Radosław Piesiewicz, president of the Polish Olympic Committee, was temporarily arrested in connection with the ongoing investigation.

The government is considering unblocking funds from State Treasury companies for the Polish Olympic Committee, which may have been blocked due to its legal situation.

Font size

The District Court in Katowice upheld the decision to apply provisional arrest to Radosław Piesiewicz, head of the Polish Olympic Committee. Piesiewicz's term of office will be completed by one of the organization's vice presidents, Marian Kmita. Will the government therefore unlock money from State Treasury companies for the Polish Olympic Committee?

The conversation will also include the issue of short-term rental, which is managed by Deputy Minister Raś. The government adopted an amendment that restores the possibility of limiting or even prohibiting short-term rentals by local governments and housing communities. Will it be possible to create zones in Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk or Sopot in which daily rentals will be completely banned? Who will decide on the number of licenses? And can the owner of a legally purchased apartment be deprived of the ability to rent it out by decision of neighbors or the local government?

US elections 2026: the key to control of Congress and the future of the Trump presidency

The November 3, 2026 elections for the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate may change the balance of power in Congress, affecting Donald Trump's ability to implement his legislative agenda in the final two years of his presidency. Republicans currently control both houses, but their advantage in the House of Representatives is minimal and Democrats need only a few seats to take control. The election result will have implications for tax, migration, energy, defense and aid policies for Ukraine, and will be the first nationwide test of the assessment of Trump's second presidency and a preliminary indicator before the 2028 presidential elections.

The police intervenes against MP Dariusz Matecki when he tries to enter the premises of the Academy of Justice

The police convinced MP Dariusz Matecki to leave the premises of the Academy of Justice after his attempt to enter the fenced area, despite previous warnings. The MP invoked parliamentary immunity. The Ministry of Justice initiates proceedings against him under Article 193 of the Penal Code for breach of domestic order, punishable by one year in prison. The conflict results from the dispute over the dismissal of the Academy's rector, Michał Sopiński, by Minister Waldemar Żurek, which PiS MP Zbigniew Bogucki described as an attempt by the government to unlawfully influence the independence of the university.
