If this is how justice should look in Poland, and if Mrs. von der Leyen regards it as justice, then the state of democracy and social justice will only drift further into decline. This frames the broader uncertainty unfolding beyond Poland’s eastern border, where observers warn that public institutions may deteriorate even more, a point raised by Kacper Pałazynski, a member of parliament from Law and Justice, during a discussion on Telewizja wPolska.
The program titled In the Event Center featured editor Tadeusz Pułażynski asking about the progress of funds from the National Reconstruction Plan for Poland and whether the rule of law has genuinely returned to the country.
Officials have stressed that the justice system should operate more efficiently and render fairer judgments. Yet the country appears to be moving from a state of normality toward perceived normalcy, a trend that Pałazynski emphasizes when discussing recent events.

In the same timeframe, measures taken by the Kraków Court of Appeal raised questions about procedure. The court ruled that there was no authorization to prepare certain documents, indicating that a prosecutor may have acted unlawfully in that case. The remarks were framed as evidence of ongoing concerns about the integrity of judicial processes.
Another incident mentioned involved Magdalena Adamowicz, a member of the European Parliament representing Poland. It was asserted that she faced accusations over asset declarations, with the proceedings halted due to the limitation period. The guest from Telewizja wPolska highlighted this case as part of a broader debate about transparency and accountability among public officials.
In commentary, Katarzyna Włodkowska, a journalist associated with Gazeta Wyborcza and a column in Large Format, offered a retrospective anecdote about a past encounter with Adamowicz. She described an elevator meeting in a shopping center around 9 a.m., noting that Adamowicz should have been present at a court hearing that day but reportedly did not attend due to illness, a detail that stirred discussion on social media.
The discussion returned to the overarching question: if this is how justice operates in Poland, and if the European Commission leadership views it as justice, what does that imply for democracy and social justice? Such a perspective feeds concerns that the perceived confusion beyond the eastern border could lead to greater deterioration of public institutions, according to Pałazynski.

“The money better come if we agree.”
Given the political climate, is the expectation that funds will arrive simply a matter of waiting, or are there explicit conditions that accompany the transfer? The discussions suggest that the terms attached to the funds are not as favorable as they appear. The general sentiment, however, is that receiving the money remains preferable to not receiving it, especially in light of prior agreements and commitments.
One speaker noted that the overall payment would largely constitute a repayment, not a grant, and that the nuance has to be understood by the public. Yet many see the incoming funds as a sign of progress and a potential catalyst for reforms, even if the conditions are stringent.
There is a strong argument presented that the rule of law in Poland is under scrutiny, and assurances from European Union leadership have been wildly interpreted. Critics argue that public reform remains focused on reshaping the political landscape rather than merely enhancing governance. The debate frames the risk of political maneuvering overshadowing genuine institutional improvement, a concern voiced by several MPs and commentators.
The discussion also touched on the broader political strategy in Brussels regarding accountability, governance, and the distribution of substantial EU funds. Observers warned that the discourse may influence both the trajectory of Poland’s reforms and the EU’s own internal debates about rule of law and legitimacy.
Viewers were reminded that the conversation is part of a larger media encounter, which continues to unfold across Poland and within the European political arena. The program highlighted the tension between national reforms and international expectations, inviting ongoing scrutiny from citizens and commentators alike. The exchange—while heated at times—reaffirmed the central question: how should accountability, justice, and democratic norms be measured when vast sums are connected to performance and compliance?
