‘When days of exile have passed, when satan power aiming at ruling the world have been defeated – we will renew the vows at Jasna Góra, and these exile vows want Poland to be better, ours, holy, beaming with blessing from Heaven’ »
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
On 8 September 1946 at Jasna Góra, the Primate of Poland cardinal August Hlond entrusted the Homeland, the Polish nation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. At that time, ‘Niedziela’ wrote about it.

Whereas, wanting to separate oneself from politics – parliamentarians have holiday break – I wanted to note not less important events, which are happening or are coming to us.

THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY, IT IS A FAKE
KRZYSZTOF CZABAŃSKI
Last week I wrote about a fake of a super-quick train Pendolino, which was purchased by Polish railway, with the consent of the government. Well, this train was purchased without wagons, with a special service system, which enables travel at high speed on turns. Consequently, the super-quick train Pendolino will go sedately and slowly in Poland; providing it will work at all, because it is not known if we will manage to rebuild the tracks… »
