Police arrest 76 after wave of school attacks

Police have confirmed 76 arrests and 231 reported incidents following a series of attacks in schools. In a separate case in Leszczydół Nowy, a 15-year-old was brought to court for the murder of a school cleaner. The victim's husband has publicly questioned why the services failed to protect her as the legal proceedings against the teenager begin.

The Venice Commission has issued what is being described as a crushing opinion on the Constitutional Tribunal, specifically regarding oath-taking procedures. This legal rebuke arrived as the Civic Coalition suspended MP Michał Kołodziejczak. Former associates raised questions about his million-dollar fortune; he says he is the victim of a political scandal.

President Andrzej Duda used a public address to accuse Prime Minister Donald Tusk of destroying the social fabric. While the executive and presidency remain at odds, the industrial sector is more productive: the country now ranks third globally in a record-breaking export sector that is shipping billions of units abroad.
