Changes in schools, political tensions, and the long weekend forecast
The Polish government has adopted an important bill introducing a ban on the use of mobile phones in primary schools. The new regulations are set to take effect from September 2026. Prime Minister Donald Tusk admitted that this is not an ideal solution but asked parents and students for their understanding. At the same time, Tusk took decisive steps within his own party, dissolving the structures of the Civic Coalition in Małopolska. This is a reaction to the results of the referendum in Krakow, which party leadership considered a serious warning.
On the international stage, there is much talk about a dispute between Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to media reports, the politicians argued over plans for an attack on Beirut. At the same time, new information regarding Zbigniew Ziobro is emerging in Poland. The Deputy Minister of Justice announced that Poland has applied to Hungary to revoke the politician's refugee status. If this happens, it will be possible to issue an international arrest warrant for him in connection with the Marcin Romanowski case.
Much is also happening within the Law and Justice (PiS) party. On Tuesday, an important meeting of the PiS Political Committee was held, during which the activities of Mateusz Morawiecki's new association were discussed. There are concerns within the party that it may act against the group's unity. A confrontation with TVN journalists also occurred during a conference by Przemysław Czarnek. The politician reacted sharply to questions about Morawiecki's association, claiming he had more important topics to discuss.
Significant personnel changes have occurred in the area of state security. Karol Nawrocki presented the appointment act to Gen. Ireneusz Nowak, who became the new Operational Commander of the Armed Forces. Meanwhile, in the legal community, the case of lawyer Maciej Z. has gained notoriety. The Disciplinary Court of the Bar Association decided to suspend him from his duties. The lawyer is suspected of triggering false bomb threats.
Another political topic involves reports of hiring individuals associated with the government at Koleje Mazowieckie. "Gazeta Wyborcza" described personal connections within this institution, mentioning, among others, the wife of Marcin Kierwiński. The politician responded to these allegations, explaining that in such situations, speculation is inevitable, but he himself has nothing to reproach himself for regarding the transparency of his actions.
Finally, we have weather information for those planning a break during the upcoming Corpus Christi holiday. IMGW synopticians predict that the long weekend will be very warm, with temperatures ranging from 23 to 28 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately, the weather will also be changeable and muggy. Violent storms may occur in many regions of Poland, so tourists should regularly check weather reports before heading outdoors.
