EDITOR-IN-CHIEF'S COMMENT OF THE DAY
SHADOWS OVER THE SUMMITS OF POWER. WHAT DOES THE DEBATE ABOUT KAROL NAWROCKI'S BACKERS REVEAL?
Author: Mieczysław Dzikowski (Editor-in-Chief of Gazeta Logomarka)
A shocking discussion has swept through the public sphere, one that no independent outlet can pass by with indifference. In a conversation between journalist Jan Piński and intelligence major Robert Cheda, questions fundamental to the national security of the Republic of Poland were raised: who actually created Karol Nawrocki's political career, what financial and operational mechanisms lay behind his promotion, and how it came about that the institutions responsible for the state's counter-intelligence protection displayed such appalling passivity.
As Editor-in-Chief of “Gazeta Logomarka”, I view these reports not only through the prism of the current party-political struggle, but above all from the perspective of the elementary hygiene of a state governed by the rule of law and of the sovereignty of electoral processes.
Three flags and an operational puzzle
In the analysis presented by Maj. Robert Cheda, the key element is the thesis of a multi-track operation in which various entities and circles were used instrumentally. According to the speakers, this process did not begin with an official party nomination but had its roots much earlier – around 2018, when transformations on the cryptocurrency market (the case of the BitBay / Zondacrypto platform) coincided with visits and activities in the eastern political vector.
The speakers point to three planes (“flags”) which were supposed to facilitate the building of the candidate's image and political capital:
Private and opaque funding streams: including the threads raised in the debate concerning the payment for trips abroad, meetings and efforts to obtain prestigious photographs across the ocean (such as visits to the USA and attempts at legitimisation in American conservative circles).
The party banner: the mechanism of party nomination, which gave the whole operation the appearance of a standard, democratic political procedure.
The Eastern doctrine of “exporting instability”: drawing on the concept of Vladislav Surkov, in which the strategic goal of the services of the Russian Federation need not be the direct promotion of openly pro-Russian slogans (which in Poland is doomed to failure from the outset), but support for radical, unpredictable figures who are susceptible to pressure and generate deep institutional chaos within the country.
The anatomy of a plywood state: Why did the institutions remain silent?
The most appalling conclusion to emerge from the accounts revealed is the paralysis of the state's oversight apparatus. During the discussion, the accounts of former officers and managers were recalled (including threads raised by Krzysztof Kluzek), from which emerges a picture of prosecutorial institutions and special services avoiding difficult proceedings, “losing” classified material or refusing to register notifications, just so as not to cross influential interest groups.
If a candidate for the highest office in the state publicly explains his relations with controversial sponsors with the argument that he “asked the ministers and they denied it”, while ignoring his broad circle of advisers and business connections, we are dealing with a mockery of the dignity of the state. Questions about who financed the image campaign, who arranged entry into the salons and what obligations were incurred in return for these favours are not a political attack – they are the constitutional right and duty of citizens.
The Editorial Voice: Time for full transparency
The Republic cannot be held hostage to backroom deals, business-criminal connections or sophisticated false-flag operations by foreign services. The greatest threat to Poland is not a single individual, but the systemic alienation and opportunism of elites who, for short-term political gain, are prepared to ignore the most glaring warning signs.
As “Gazeta Logomarka”, our position is unchanging: truth, transparency of procedures and rigorous verification of the biographies of those aspiring to power are the foundations of national security. Every shadow of a link to Moscow-linked capital, every unexplained payment for lobbying and every disappearing interview record must be thoroughly investigated by independent investigative bodies and judged by public opinion.
Poland deserves transparency, and the sovereign deserves full knowledge of who is really writing the scripts of our politics.

FUNDAMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR THE RULE OF LAW, DEMOCRACY, EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW AND CIVIC SOVEREIGNTY
(Open civic forum: updated weekly with new points added. Send your proposals to: biuro@algoomni.com or via the portal http://algoomni.com)
THE SANCTITY OF EVERY VOTE: Every vote cast is the supreme, direct and inviolable mandate of the sovereign in the state. No digital algorithm, no politicised electoral commission and no backroom party arrangement has the right to annul, falsify, distort or ignore the will of the citizens. Transparency, physical verifiability and public scrutiny of the electoral process at every stage are the inviolable foundation of the Republic's existence.
RECOUNT OF VOTES AND INSPECTION OF THE 2025 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: The absolute necessity of a comprehensive, commission-led inspection and a fresh, 100% open and publicly broadcast recount of all ballot papers from the 2025 presidential election. Assuming the Office of the President of the Republic of Poland under the shadow of procedural machinations, with the oversight bodies paralysed and the authorities of the day appallingly passive, constituted a violation of the constitutional order that requires the material truth to be fully established.
HOLDING PIS TO ACCOUNT – AN UNCOMPROMISING “ZERO OPTION”: Full, uncompromising criminal, constitutional and financial liability for the systemic destruction of the legal order, the dismantling of the separation of powers and the unlawful transfers of public funds during the years of PiS rule. A rejection of any rotten compromises, political deals or lenient treatment – every scandal, embezzlement and act of lawlessness must be adjudicated right down to the very bottom.
HOLDING THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT FOR ITS FAILURES TO ACT AND THE LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY: A government that received a democratic mandate to restore the rule of law, yet in the name of conformism, political calculation and a quiet life chose procrastination and the sin of omission, must bear unequivocal political responsibility. The absence of firm accountability will take its revenge at the ballot box and open the way to a constitutional relapse of anti-democratic forces.
COMPLETE ABOLITION OF IMMUNITIES: The definitive abolition of parliamentary, judicial, prosecutorial and official immunities. All citizens without exception must be 100% equal before the law and answer before the same ordinary courts. The institution of immunity has been utterly perverted, becoming a pathological shield protecting corruption, common crimes, abuses of power and the impunity of the elites.
A MANDATORY TWO-TERM LIMIT IN ALL BODIES: The introduction of a hard limit of a maximum of two terms (counted over a lifetime) for MPs, senators, city mayors, town mayors, village heads and the heads of state agencies and central offices. An end to a professional caste of politicians welded to their seats for decades and to the creation of entrenched bureaucratic clans feeding on citizens' assets.
MANDATORY TOXICOLOGY TESTS FOR THOSE IN THE HIGHEST OFFICES: Mandatory, independent and random laboratory tests (blood, urine, hair) carried out every 3 months for the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, ministers, deputy ministers, MPs, senators and heads of state institutions. Refusal to undergo testing or a positive result leads to immediate and automatic dismissal from office. Those who decide on the security and fate of the nation must be fully of sound mind, responsible and free of chemical dependencies.
A CITIZENS' CONSTITUTION WITH FIXED DEADLINES: The new Basic Law must be written directly by citizens and independent experts, not by politicians and law firms concerned with their own impunity. The absolute elimination of discretionary, elastic wording such as “without delay” or “within a reasonable time” and its replacement with precise calendar days, on pain of automatic loss of office by any official or judge who exceeds them.
STRICT ORDER OF RECEIPT IN COURTS AND OFFICES: A statutory, absolute requirement to process and examine cases according to the exact date, minute and hour of their receipt by courts, prosecutors' offices and public administration offices. A final end to “freezers” for cases inconvenient to those in power, political favouritism in court lists, the selection of cases at the behest of vested interests and the deliberate protraction of proceedings until they become time-barred.
FULL DISCLOSURE OF THE LIST OF THOSE ILLEGALLY SURVEILLED WITH DIGITAL SYSTEMS: Immediate publication of a full, open and complete register of all persons surveilled with cyberweapons (Pegasus, Hermes, Predator, Feng and similar). The public and public figures have an inalienable right to know who was wiretapped, blackmailed, manipulated and operationally destroyed while strategic state and economic decisions were being taken.
FULL CRIMINAL, CIVIL AND FINANCIAL LIABILITY OF OFFICIALS, JUDGES AND PROSECUTORS: The introduction of full, personal criminal, civil and financial liability (with all present and future private assets) for the president, prime ministers, ministers, MPs, senators, village heads, mayors, councillors and state officials, and, without exception, for judges and prosecutors, for knowingly violating the Constitution, corruption, fabricating evidence, issuing unlawful decisions and judgments, gross omissions and errors causing losses to the State Treasury or harm to citizens. An end to hiding with impunity behind the judicial robe, immunity or the official stamp – for lawlessness and damage, those in power, judges and prosecutors must pay out of their own pockets and answer criminally like any other citizen.
A TOTAL BAN ON HOLDING MULTIPLE OFFICES AND ON SITTING IN STATE TREASURY COMPANIES: A radical, absolute ban on sitting on the management boards, supervisory boards and advisory bodies of State Treasury companies, municipal companies and government agencies for ministers, deputy ministers, senior state and local government officials, MPs, senators, village heads, town mayors, city mayors and councillors (with a 5-year cooling-off period after leaving office). A final end to the pathology of party cronyism, nepotism and the milking of state assets by political appointees.
AN ABSOLUTE BAN ON SWITCHING PARLIAMENTARY CLUBS AND COUNCIL GROUPS (A BAN ON POLITICAL TOURISM): The mandate of an MP, senator or councillor is bound to the will of the voters as expressed on the electoral committee's list. Leaving a club, defecting to another party or political trading in mandates results in the automatic expiry of the mandate and its transfer to the next person on the electoral list. An end to the trading of citizens' votes in parliament and local government.
MANDATORY ATTENDANCE AT VOTES AND SITTINGS ON PAIN OF LOSING ONE'S MANDATE: The work of a parliamentarian or councillor is a firm official duty towards the sovereign. Unexcused absence from sittings of the Sejm, the Senate, committees or key votes exceeding 10% in any quarter results in automatic loss of the mandate by operation of law, with no right to severance pay or a parliamentary pension.
FULL TRANSPARENCY OF SPENDING: ALLOWANCES, MILEAGE AND OFFICES SETTLED EXCLUSIVELY BY PAYMENT CARD: A total ban on cash, lump-sum and advance settlements in parliamentary and local government activity. All office expenses, expert opinions, hotels, business travel and mileage must be paid exclusively with a personal official card linked to a public online register of expenditure accessible to every citizen in real time. Every attempt to fraudulently claim mileage means an immediate referral to the prosecutor.
AN END TO “SACRED COWS”: THE SAME LAW FOR POLITICIANS, JUDGES, PROSECUTORS, THE SERVICES AND JOURNALISTS: Equal law for all, without caste privileges. The abolition of separate procedures, immunities, secret disciplinary courts and networks protecting politicians, prosecutors, judges, special service officers and the journalists linked to them. Every crime, act of obstruction, fabrication of operational material or paid media protection will be tried in open proceedings before a jury.
SYSTEMIC PROTECTION AND STRICT COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE SUPERVISION OF FORMER SPECIAL SERVICES OFFICERS: Special services officers (AW, ABW, SKW, SWW, CBA) with knowledge of state secrets cannot be abandoned on the open market as easy prey for foreign intelligence services and criminal groups. The introduction of a 10-year ban on working for foreign entities and in sensitive sectors (cryptocurrencies, finance, gambling), combined with fair state remuneration for analytical work and permanent counter-intelligence protection.
TOTAL TRANSPARENCY AND A BLOCK ON INFILTRATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS: Every draft law, regulation and amendment must have a public, digital register of its authors by first name and surname, together with a lobbying trail. An absolute ban on laws being written by outside law firms and lobbyists linked to foreign capital. Any attempt to block anti-corruption and anti-money-laundering provisions to be treated as diplomatic treason.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE AND AN END TO BUDGET FUNDING OF RELIGIOUS STRUCTURES: The immediate abolition of the Church Fund, taxation of the income of religious associations on general terms and an absolute ban on transferring State Treasury and local government property for next to nothing. Religious associations may be financed solely from voluntary tax allocations by the faithful (a voluntary church tax).
A CITIZENS' VETO AND A BINDING REFERENDUM WITHOUT A TURNOUT THRESHOLD: Restoring real power to the sovereign: a motion backed by 500,000 citizens' signatures obliges the Sejm to call a nationwide referendum whose result is absolutely binding on the state authorities, with no turnout threshold permitted. The executive and legislative branches are prohibited from overriding the will of the nation expressed in a referendum.
