The Polish government has taken a firm stance against tech giant Meta, demanding a substantial fine of 250 million PLN, with Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski advocating for a 1 billion PLN penalty, citing ample evidence for the action. This comes as the country also sees a major shift in its industrial strategy, with the Izera electric car project being discontinued in favor of government support for Foxconn's plans.
In other significant developments, a new trust poll reveals considerable declines in support for right-wing political parties, indicating a notable shift in public opinion. Security forces in Warsaw apprehended three Russian nationals, reportedly found in possession of weapons or contraband.
Meanwhile, ongoing legal scrutiny continues for former political figures, with Zbigniew Ziobro broadcasting live from the USA amidst inquiries into his funds, and reports of changes in documents at the offices of Romanowski and Ziobro. A tragic accident in Krakow is undergoing expert analysis, and a disco polo musician has been sentenced for serious crimes. On a positive note, a child was miraculously rescued from a pool near Łeba.
