Poland

Poland's Air Navigation Agency loses access to its main revenue due to a dispute with the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. Prime Minister Donald Tusk addressed the issue during a Friday press conference, stating that his government has been trying to resolve the problem since its first days in office. Meanwhile, Warsaw authorities are investigating an incident involving a bus crashing into an underground passage, with passengers claiming the driver's behavior was irrational. In another development, Tusk criticized Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Law and Justice), calling him 'a classic ruffian.' Additionally, Poland's relations with Ukraine are strained as experts argue that the time for a peaceful discussion about exhumations on Wołyń is past. A tragic incident in Jędrzejów results in the death of a 29-year-old woman, leading to the arrest of a 19-year-old suspect. The nomination of Maria Szczepaniec as the president of the Supreme Court's Disciplinary Chamber sparks controversy, with critics arguing that it solidifies a flawed system. A 15-year-old is identified as the driver of a motorcycle speeding through Kraków's pedestrian areas, while Grzegorz Braun and his supporters erect a cross and plaque in Jedwabne to commemorate the victims of the massacre. Kaczyński's comments about police officers during the Smoleńsk anniversary are met with backlash, and a couple is sentenced to long prison terms for orchestrating the murder of their elderly relative.
