The Ministry of Justice withdraws from the idea of liquidation of the Vocational Liability Chamber in the Supreme Court. The former US President Barack Obama appeared at the Impact Congress in Poznań. The prosecutor's office presented preliminary findings after a tragic accident at S2. Here are five things that are worth knowing on Friday, May 16.
1. New presidential survey
WITH support poll Presidential candidates conducted by the Opinia24 studio for “Facts” TVN and TVN24 shows that in the first round candidate KO Rafał Trzaskowski can count on 29 percent support. This is a decrease by 2 percentage points compared to probe Opinion24 for TVN and TVN24 “Facts” conducted on May 6-7, 2025.
25 percent of the respondents declare voting for a candidate PIS Karol Nawrocki (without changes), and 12 percent for the confederation candidate Sławomir Mentzen (-2). Together's candidate Adrian Zandberg can count on 7 percent support (+2), just like the third way candidate Szymon Hołownia (+2).
2. New arrangements on Nawrocki
On Thursday, May 15, we learned more details about the loan. The contract was signed on February 15, 2010. Nawrocki, according to this document, lent Mr. Jerzy PLN 12,000 20 percent per year, which gives PLN 2,400 interest. This is a rate only slightly lower than the legally banned usury rate determined at 24 percent.
TVN “Facts” reporter Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska estimated that the stake was also high in combination with the financial problems of Mr. Jerzy and the fact that he had occupied a municipal apartment until now. Even Karol Nawrocki himself even pointed to his difficult life situation, claiming that his help was selfless.
The journalist of “Facts” TVN determined that interest was to be, according to the contract, charged immediately after signing the document, i.e. from February 15, 2010. The refund of the loan and interest was to be made within only 30 days from the moment Karol Nawrocki as the lender would demand it. “Not only did he get a flat, he also wanted to earn on a loan,” added Kolenda -Zaleska.
3. A surprising change in the project about the neo -sits
Ministry of Justice is withdrawing from the idea of liquidating the Chamber of Professional Responsibility in the Supreme Court. It is mostly neo -sessels in its composition.
This is the chamber that in 2022 replaced the illegal Disciplinary Chamber. The Chamber of Professional Liability was appointed by the President Andrzej Duda And he also indicated all 11 judges sitting in it.
4. Obama about Poland
Former president USA Barack Obamaappearing at the Impact Congress in Poznań, he emphasized that the Solidarity of the United States with Europe is based on people, not on a given administration. He added that Americans see “unbelievable generosity” that Poland showed to Ukrainians.
Obama also referred to the situation in Poland, assessing that the right approach is the one in which “progressive forces” form a broad coalition, try to understand more conservative communities. “If you want to be effective, you must listen to the perspectives of others,” he said.
