Former soldier sets man on fire in Łęczna

A tragic incident in Łęczna has led to the death of a 25-year-old man, Jakub, who was set on fire by a former territorial defense force soldier. This somber event has drawn significant attention across the country.

In the political arena, new survey results indicate that Poles largely support President Karol Nawrocki in his ongoing conflict with Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government. This comes as the ruling Civic Coalition reportedly faces internal tensions, and the opposition Law and Justice party reacts strongly to recent presidential decisions.

Meanwhile, national security remains a key focus with the confirmation of a 'green light from the White House' for establishing a US military base in the country. Additionally, new units have entered combat duty to protect the border, and an analysis suggests Russia may be planning a 'winter campaign' targeting the country.
