Former Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki Set to Chair European Conservatives and Reformists
Sources indicate that Mateusz Morawiecki, former conservative prime minister of Poland, is likely to be appointed as the chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) in the European Parliament.
According to press reports, Morawiecki is tipped to soon replace Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as leader of the center-right group. However, this position might not grant him significant power within the European Parliament faction due to a recent change in the party’s statutes, which now adhere to Belgian law.
Under the new statutes, the primary power within the party lies with the secretary general. “Friends from sunny Italy suggest that this position will always be held by an Italian,” dorzeczy.pl news outlet reports.
Meanwhile, the Polish edition of Newsweek reported that other Polish politicians from the Law and Justice (PiS) party are also destined to receive prominent roles within the faction. Joachim Brudziński is expected to be a co-chair, while Kosma Złotowski could become the co-treasurer. The publication also cited an anonymous PiS politician who noted that “Morawiecki’s position has been negotiated, but we shall see if the Italians keep their word or if further negotiations will ensue.”
Furthermore, Newsweek highlighted that Morawiecki’s career is mirroring that of Tusk, who previously led another major European faction, the European People’s Party. Tusk held this role from 2019 to 2022, succeeding Joseph Daul of France, and was later replaced by Manfred Weber of Germany.

Scholz Praises Press Freedom While Saying Some Opinions are ‘Forbidden’
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Wednesday spoke for the first time about the interior ministry’s decision to ban the right-wing magazine Compact. At a press conference, Scholz defended the ban, saying “freedom of the press includes being able to say a lot of nonsense, but there are limits that you can’t overlook.”
Seemingly contradicting himself many times on the matter, he said he is a “champion of press freedom,” which is of “the utmost importance for democracy in Germany,” but then went on to say there are “of course opinions that are forbidden in Germany,” including, for example, the glorification of national socialism or anti-semitism.

Compact magazine, an anti-establishment, government-critical publication, was banned on Tuesday, July 16th, for “inciting hatred” and “aggressively propagating the toppling of the political order.” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser called it “a central mouthpiece of the right-wing extremist scene.”
However, the move seems more like the action of a government that wants to silence voices it disagrees with. Experts on constitutional law say the ban amounts to nothing less than an attack on the freedom of the press. Editor-in-chief Jürgen Elsässer emphasised that no court cases brought against Compact could substantiate the accusations of racism, antisemitism, or incitement to violence—claims he rejects.
Olaf Scholz says authorities prepared the ban very carefully, examined all possible legal questions, and the decision was made “for good reason.” When asked whether editorial offices in Germany could now be closed, the chancellor said there are “crimes that must not be committed.”
However, Compact magazine is not accused of having committed crimes. It wasn’t banned under the Criminal Code, which regulates the press, but under association, law which is not protected by the freedom of the press.
The magazine filed a lawsuit against the ban on Wednesday.The German Compact magazine should not be confused with the U.S. publication of the same name.
Fortune 500 Companies to Incur More than $5 Billion in Losses from CrowdStrike Outage – and That’s Excluding Microsoft
The damage from the huge IT outage caused by CrowdStrike on machines running Microsoft software last week that brought air traffic to a standstill, left some hospitals unable to provide certain services, and rendered many businesses unable to operate is still being tallied, but the modeling and insurance services firm Parametrix has already come up with an estimated price tag – and it’s quite steep.
According to their calculations, the total direct financial loss that American Fortune 500 companies can expect to incur as a result of the fiasco is an incredible $5.4 billion – and that is not including Microsoft’s losses. They believe that cyber insurance will likely only cover somewhere from 10 to 20% of these losses, which would be between $540 million and $1.08 billion. They’re attributing this low coverage to the big risk retentions of many companies and the fact that a lot of them likely have low policy limits compared to the potential loss.
When averaged out across the Fortune 500 companies as a whole, the loss for each is $44 million, but it is important to keep in mind that the actual loss will depend on the industry. For example, manufacturing firms could see losses of around $6 million, while airlines could be looking at upwards of $143 million in losses.
However, it is the healthcare sector that Parametrix expects to experience the biggest direct financial hit, with companies suffering a loss of nearly $2 billion. This is followed by the banking industry with $1.149 billion in losses. The uneven manner in which the incident affects business sectors means that the companies in these sectors will account for nearly 60% of the loss despite only making up one fifth of Fortune 500 revenues.
Parametrix’s estimates are drawn from more than 54 billion points of data based on the historical performance of cloud services and directly monitoring thousands of technology businesses’ real-time service status.
On top of that, the CEO of Parametrix, Jonathan Hatzor, told the New York Post that he thinks Microsoft’s financial losses could total hundreds of millions of dollars.
Meanwhile, Fitch Ratings reported that it expects several other types of insurance beyond cyber insurance to be affected by the incident, such as business interruption insurance, technology errors and omissions policies, event cancellation and travel insurance.
CrowdStrike issues apology and fix, loses stock value
Meanwhile, the firm behind the outage, Texas-based CrowdStrike, has lost around 22 percent of its stock value since the incident. It was worth around $83 billion prior to the outage and services more than half of Fortune 1000 companies, in addition to operating throughout the world.
The company released a report this week explaining what went wrong and apologized for the drama. They are blaming it on an update pushed by CrowdStrike to its Falcon platform, a cloud-based service that is supposed to protect businesses from disruptions and cyber attacks. A bug in the update led to the simultaneous crash of 8.5 million Windows machines.
To avoid similar problems in the future, CrowdStrike has said that it will implement better testing procedures before issuing updates and use gradual rollouts to reduce the potential for simultaneous failures like those seen last week.
Although the company has already released information to help users fix impacted systems, experts maintain that getting all of the affected computers back online could take quite some time due to the need to manually weed out problematic code.
The widespread disruptions caused by the incident are a sobering reminder that many of the world’s top businesses and organizations are simply not prepared with proper contingency plans to handle the failure of crucial IT systems. This means that cyber criminals and other malicious actors are well positioned to cause chaos around the world.
