Poland this Sunday, 25 October: strong winds, a Polska 2050 split and a museum project in Poznań

Weather warnings call for adapting Sunday outings. In politics, the announced expulsion of Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz marks a new stage in the Polska 2050 crisis. In Poznań, announcements about the Greater Poland Uprising museum distinguish reorganisation in 2027 from a targeted opening in 2028.

Strong winds: check warnings for your specific area

In its Sunday update published at 10.15 am, RMF24 relays IMGW warnings for northern and southern Poland and the risk of a strong storm in the Baltic. Warning levels and validity periods differ between areas. A regional warning therefore does not mean that every municipality faces the same conditions at the same time.

The official RCB notice consulted this morning specifically covers Jelenia Góra, Wałbrzych and the districts of Kamienna Góra, Karkonosze, Lwówek Śląski and Wałbrzych. It urges caution outdoors and securing objects that wind could carry away. Before a walk or journey, check the location and validity of the official bulletin. This list does not automatically establish that the same SMS was sent to Wrocław.

Polska 2050: an announced expulsion, separate from leaving government

According to RMF24/PAP, Szymon Hołownia announced on Saturday 24 October that the Polska 2050 board had decided to terminate Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz’s party membership. Michał Gramatyka confirmed the decision and justified it by conduct he considers contrary to the movement’s interests. This is the position of party leaders, not a judicial finding.

She challenged the expulsion in a response published on Saturday evening and reported by RMF24. This episode is separate from her Thursday announcement that she was leaving government, already covered in our Friday edition. The new development is Saturday’s announced internal decision and her objection; it does not by itself establish the government’s collapse or a successor’s appointment.

Poznań: a new museum framework, but no immediate opening

PAP reports announcements made in Poznań on Saturday by Culture Minister Marta Cienkowska during a visit to the construction site of the new museum of the 1918–1919 Greater Poland Uprising. In its own account, the Wielkopolskie Muzeum Niepodległości confirms that an institutional transformation is announced for the start of 2027 under the name Muzeum Powstania Wielkopolskiego 1918–1919.

The building follows a different timetable: the museum reports advanced finishing work and plans an opening with the permanent exhibition in the second half of 2028. These are announced targets, not a completed opening. Visitors planning a stay in Poznań should distinguish the existing institution and offers from the future site: the January 2027 announcement is not an invitation to visit the new building from that date.
