Wyborcza.pl – On Easter Sunday, a train from Gdanski Station in Warsaw that was supposed to go to Terespol (eastern Poland), close to the border with Belarus, turned out to be a train going to Budapest, Hungary. For many years, Gdanski Station has served mainly for suburban trains but everything changed with the renovation of Dworzec Zachodni (Western Station) in Warsaw, which caused dozens of connections to be redirected to Gdanski Station. That station is a mess, trains are late and diverted to the wrong tracks, the Gazeta Wyborcza website claimed. PKP Intercity, Poland's state-owned train operator, apologised on Twitter and wrote that the company is doing its best to minimize the possibility of errors related to the content of announcements.

Jongmen has already been wanted by the police since March 2022. Two months later, it was decided to search for the rapper, who, sensing trouble, remains abroad.
RMF24.pl – Inflation (CPI) in March in Poland was lower than in February. According to Poland's Central Statistical Office (GUS), consumer prices in March rose 16.2 percent year on year while February inflation stood at 18.4 percent year on year. However, Poles have a different opinion on the subject, as the latest United Surveys poll for radio station RMF FM and the Dziennik Gazeta Prawna daily shows. The majority of respondents (69.3 percent) think that inflation is not lower. Less than one quarter (23.9 percent) believe that inflation has decreased.
