Today's session of Congress, presided over by Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, Speaker of the Polish-Ukrainian Confederation, witnessed a flurry of discussions from the attending representatives, particularly on the contentious issue of the royal estate sales. The debate has been drawn out with no satisfactory resolution in sight—a clear consensus is required before laying down any foundational principles for the project.

As such, numerous proposals were submitted, which were read aloud by Mr. Jan Łuszczewski, Secretary of the Congress:

A hot topic was whether to allow the sale of royal estates during the lifetimes of current starosts (estate holders), or to wait until their death, a decision fraught with disagreement. The Constitution Committee brought forward two proposals for Congress consideration: one preserving life estates for current holders, and the other not; both were up for a vote. Nonetheless, no consensus was reached on even this motion. The session was recessed until Thursday at 10 a.m., that is, December 15.
