- I plan for the disciplinary proceedings, which I initiated, to be concluded, and further steps will depend on their results. [...] During this time, I plan to enforce the corrective action plan from the current SOP management - said Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference.

- Once I have the results of the disciplinary proceedings, it's not a surprise, of course, that I will definitely speak with the President to finally resolve this matter - he continued.

- Of course, I would like to have the opportunity to appoint the Head of the SOP now [...] but we must act within the legal framework that we have defined - he added.

- I thank you for the President's commitment. I want this to reach everyone, both here in Ukraine and in Poland, that it is, among other things, precisely President Zelensky's personal commitment that has led to many positive changes in these historical Polish-Ukrainian relations - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Kyiv.

- Thank you very much for the decision long awaited by the Polish community here in Kyiv as well, namely the return of the parish of St. Nicholas Church - he continued.

- There are indeed people, and Poles, my government, are among them, who understand well that standing on Ukraine's side in this war means standing on the side of good and truth. Our cooperation must take on increasingly concrete dimensions. We have jointly signed a letter of intent, which is not just an intention, but truly something more than a prelude to practical cooperation. This has been our goal for many, many months - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Kyiv.

- We talked and put a lot of effort into making the idea of joint production in plants both in Poland and Ukraine, joint production of armaments and ammunition, a reality. We aimed to find financing and remove barriers that hindered or made technology exchange difficult - he continued.

- There is no just, safe Europe without an independent Ukraine. There is no safe Poland without an independent and safe Ukraine. Nor will there be a sovereign Ukraine without Poland and without Europe. Without our friendship, without our solidarity, understood in a truly deep way - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Kyiv.

- We support everything that is good, right, and true in the world. We are also in Kyiv today because we want all the residents of Kyiv, the citizens of Ukraine, to know that they are not, and will not remain, alone. I know that here in Kyiv, in Kharkiv, in Odesa, everywhere in Ukraine, you often hear words of solidarity, encouragement, and I know that words are not enough - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Kyiv.

- Poland and I personally do not need to assure anyone that for us, helping Ukraine is not just an obvious moral duty, not just an obvious need for solidarity to stand on the side of the attacked against the aggressor; in my case and in Poland's case, it is also an obvious common interest, a common historical experience, a common experience of what is happening today, and a common future for Poland and Ukraine - he continued.

- As you know, from what the media reports, there were also Poles around Epstein. It is said that in his staff, which managed this dramatic, abominable procedure, there were two Poles, a woman and a man. We know these names - said Waldemar Żurek at a press conference in Olsztyn.

- So far, no victims of this procedure have come forward, because we know well that many of these individuals very often cannot overcome this psychological barrier […]. But we know that the recruitment of women, possibly also minors, in Poland did occur, because we have such traces in the documents that are available - he continued.

- Certainly, this team will initially be an analytical team, but I would like a parallel investigative team to be appointed as well, with powers similar to those of police officers, service officers, and prosecutors - he stated.

As the Minister of Justice announced: - We will want to ask the United States for a part of the documentation that is classified, which has not been disclosed on the websites, because perhaps we will learn about the Polish connections there, names also appear, and perhaps it will be necessary to question these individuals who are mentioned. But we will also see what these documents give us, if the United States provides us with these documents.

- We want to see if the Polish threads here are significant enough for us to track down the perpetrators, reach the victims, and provide them with redress - he added.

"I have already started working, I have had talks with Minister Kierwiński and Minister Siemoniak. We already have concrete individuals who will be part of this team – but I want to state upfront that the composition of this team will not be disclosed," said Waldemar Żurek at a press conference in Olsztyn.

"There are representatives of special services, prosecutors, as well as police representatives who are specialists in this field," he clarified.

- We guarantee everyone the right to a fair trial. We see today that these trials are being conducted very transparently. The media have access to everything, every suspected person has the right to defense. Politicians even usually have three lawyers in these proceedings - said Waldemar Żurek at a press conference in Olsztyn.

- I would certainly see such a possibility, that if there is no so-called fear of tampering and fear of flight, then anyone who is suspected, or has already become a suspect, because charges have been brought against them, could face proceedings while free, because we know the grounds for applying pre-trial detention - he stated.

- But I have the impression that former minister Zbigniew Ziobro is, unfortunately, putting himself in a bad situation, because he is not appearing before the Polish justice system. He is ignoring it despite the fact that his colleagues or other politicians, like Mr. Matecki, are facing proceedings while free, and such a possibility would exist, but the former minister is evading justice - he pointed out.

- We all know that Marshal Czarzasty is a person under counterintelligence protection, after all, we all know that if there were any doubts, the services would have to react. The President, his advisors also know this perfectly well, but they want to whip up this political froth, they want to create an atmosphere of checking something, completely unnecessarily [...] it harms the Polish state - said Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference.

- There are many security issues that we should discuss with the President within the framework of the National Security Council, I think that cheap politicking and such being led by the nose, I'm not afraid to say it, by a certain political camp and media favoring that camp, doesn't speak well of the President's independence, which he so much wants to boast about, and which is more of a myth than a fact - he continued.

- Any irregularity in any service subordinate to the Ministry of Interior and Administration will be eliminated, it will be burned out with a red-hot iron. There will be no tolerance for any, this also applies to information from one of the television stations, which they are reporting, any attempt to break the law, any unworthy behavior by any public official subordinate to the Ministry of Interior and Administration will be eliminated - said Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference.

"Mr. Minister, February is passing, and the presidential bill is still not here. And I'd gladly assess its value" - writes Waldemar Żurek on platform X, quoting Zbigniew Bogucki from an interview for DGP:

"The President wants to establish a Council for State System Repair, whose task will include, among others, developing a bill regarding the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), so that it can be presented no later than January of next year."

As read in the Minister of Justice's post: "Instead, there is a government bill. Passed by a democratic majority in Parliament. A bill that will swiftly end this crisis."

"Let's do it! For Polish women and men who are concerned whether court rulings in their cases will be legally valid" - Żurek concluded.

Panie Ministrze @BoguckiZbigniew, luty mija, a prezydenckiego projektu ustawy nadal nie ma. A chętnie bym ocenił jego wartość.

Jest za to rządowa ustawa. Uchwalona przez demokratyczną większość w Parlamencie. Ustawa, która ekspresowo zakończy ten kryzys.

"Since I decided to make difficult personnel decisions, i.e., suspend the Commander of the State Protection Service (SOP) and appoint someone to act as its head who will implement necessary changes, it means I believe these changes at the organizational level are essential," said Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference.

"The results of the audit conducted at the Ministry of Interior and Administration [...] leave many areas that require improvement. [...] For the good of this service, neither the results of this audit can be public, nor should I present them in a shocking way," he continued.

"In my opinion, the SOP needs significant changes," he went on to say.

"I am deeply convinced that for all those who currently lead the service, these guidelines and the tasks set before them are clear. Will this require personnel changes? Yes, and these personnel changes are being implemented. Will there be further changes? In my opinion, yes, but these will be sovereign decisions of those currently managing the service," he added.

- Yesterday I asked, [...] the Interior Ministry had no information about threats towards any person from any Government Protection Bureau (SOP) officer. When I read yesterday the statement from the Government Protection Bureau, and I also spoke about it with the acting commandant, they also had no such information - said Marcin Kierwiński in "Poranek TOK FM".

- Of course, as soon as this information was made public, the SOP filed a notification with the prosecutor's office in this regard. And to be clear, regardless of how much distance I personally have from what the station represented by Mr. Nisztor does, there is no consent, and there will be no consent for any attempts to break the law, or to relativize this type of situation - he indicated.

- If an officer engages in this type of language, threats, there will always be a reaction from the relevant service and from the ministry that supervises it - he assured.

- We started discussing the recording published by TV Republika. It's a recording, TV Republika itself says so, from February 2024, which truly shows the deep, negative processes that were occurring within these services, within the services subordinate to the Ministry of Interior and Administration during PiS's rule - said Marcin Kierwiński on "Poranek TOK FM".

- I simply want to debunk a certain false narrative. Because on TV Republika, you hear "he is the bodyguard of Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski." I can say that he was previously a bodyguard for Mr. Minister Ziobro for 5 or 6 years, I don't remember exactly. And why were all appropriate checks not conducted then? That's also a thought-provoking question - he stated.

- In December 2023, when we took power, we found the services in a tragic situation left by our predecessors, and we are still collecting the aftermath of this and will continue to do so for many, many months - he added.

- Obviously, I am the person who supervises, the Ministry of Interior and Administration supervises the Government Protection Bureau (SOP), so I will not discuss the audit's details. However, this broad audit, concerning personnel, financial matters, and the protection of the most important state officials, has revealed many serious shortcomings, many serious issues that need to be corrected. Hence my personnel decisions, which are as they are - said Marcin Kierwiński on "Poranek TOK FM".

- It's about the management of this service. I am not here to tell the SOP commander who he should remove or not remove. But even the last few hours or the last few dozen hours show that things weren't going well in the SOP - he indicated.

- I made personnel decisions regarding this matter [the situation in the State Protection Service - SOP]. I have suspended the commander of the SOP. I couldn't dismiss him because that requires the president's consent. That consent was not given - said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on "Poranek TOK FM".

- I have a very strong determination to change the processes that I consider to be improper within the SOP. Much needs to be improved there, hence the new person acting as commander, who knows that they must restore order in this service - he continued.

- If we are to look at it in terms of formations, then the Marshal, as a representative of the formation that lost by 100,000 votes to the incumbent president there, is precisely that many votes short of claiming the presidential seat - said Marek Siwiec on TOK FM, when asked about Sławomir Cenckiewicz's statement that Włodzimierz Czarzasty lacks 10.5 million votes to decide on the agenda of National Security Bureau (RBN) meetings.

- There is no institution in the state that was voted for by more people in free elections than parliament, than the Sejm, and at the head of this Sejm stands Marshal Czarzasty, so if we are to bid against each other, Mr. Minister, Professor, and invoke the law of large numbers, then we are better off - he continued.

- If [Włodzimierz Czarzasty] didn't want to be vetted, if he has something up his sleeve, then where does such an unambiguous and very quickly formulated statement from the services' spokesperson come from? They are also taking responsibility for this at the moment - Marek Siwiec said on TOK FM.

- The Marshal was vetted [...] when he was a member of the National Broadcasting Council - said Marek Siwiec on TOK FM, when asked why Włodzimierz Czarzasty did not submit his security clearance in 2023 despite being a member of the parliamentary committee on special services.

- Fine, but when we're talking about facts, that's a fact. Besides, the highest person in the country refers to similar episodes, so let's be symmetrical at this moment. He was vetted, successfully, positively, meaning he had access - he continued after the host pointed out that it was years ago.

- Later, he began his work, in my opinion, and I'll say this perhaps a bit maliciously, he wasn't the most diligent member of that committee, because he had other interests, I think he was more occupied with leading his party than with oversight... - he went on to say.

- Hence, he might not have cared [about access to all documents] and for that reason, he didn't care - he added.

- Absolutely not [Adam Andruszkiewicz will not resign, nor will he be detained]. This matter has a political character. Do you know how many graphological opinions there were indicating that Adam Andruszkiewicz did not sign any of the lists being discussed in any of the cases? 11 opinions. [I know this] from media reports, from what prosecution representatives have said - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz in "Piasecki's Interview" on TVN24.

- Do you know what's funniest about Marek Siwiec's letter yesterday, which he sent to Minister Cenckiewicz? That they are accusing President Karol Nawrocki of working physically at the Grand Hotel as a young man supporting his family, being a bodyguard. They are accusing him. Furthermore, there are many errors in this letter, because it contains information that Karol Nawrocki worked at the Grand Hotel in the late 1990s and early 2000s. So, was he 15 years old working at the Grand Hotel? - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

- This is a nervous reaction from Marshal Czarzasty and Marek Siwiec, these caviar post-communists, who, sitting in the comfort of the Marshal of the Sejm's office, have invented some alternative narrative for a very serious problem that has emerged - he continued.

- Maybe I'll be a conservative, but I believe that if someone is the head of the National Security Bureau (BBN), they are guided by the good of the Polish state - said Marek Siwiec on TOK FM, when asked about Sławomir Cenckiewicz's criticism of the SAFE program and whether PiS politicians and the president's entourage are motivated by the American ambassador, by American lobbyists.

- I think that the doubts of Professor Cenckiewicz, who is the head of the National Security Bureau, deserve to be clarified by the authorities, by the government - he continued.

- It was your station that made the greatest contributions to explaining the past of Karol Nawrocki, and this past of Karol Nawrocki has been thoroughly explained. We all know what he did in the past, what he was involved in. So, you should read the articles on the TVN24 portal - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" (Piasecki's Interview).

- Let's not get drawn into the narrative being built by post-communists, caviar post-communists, people like Marshal Czarzasty. Anyone who takes up an important state position, Marshal Czarzasty, as a result of political arithmetic, Donald Tusk's decision, became Marshal of the Sejm – this is not a popular vote, it's a choice based on a political decision. He has taken up the position of the second person in the state, he has access to the country's greatest state secrets - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz in the "Piasecki Conversation" on TVN24.

- Therefore, Marshal Czarzasty's past, in the context of his previous actions as well, for instance in the Rywin affair and the social-business connections he has with a Russian woman linked to Sberbank and the Kremlin, requires explanation. There's no hidden agenda here - he continued.

- This is an attempt to divert attention from Marshal Czarzasty's past. Marshal Czarzasty has never submitted any personal security questionnaire, he has never explained his past contacts, and you must admit that what has recently appeared in the media, these contacts with a Russian woman, require explanation. We are talking about the second person in the state - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- The point was to show a certain kind of absurdity of the situation [...] since, in the rank of an obligation of the Polish state [the SAFE program], which extends for several decades or more [...] and purchases that will have the greatest significance for security [...] the question of the Marshal's social and business contacts is placed on the same level - Marek Siwiec said in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on "Poranek TOK FM," referring to the letter concerning the expansion of the National Security Council's agenda.

- All of this is known. Well, there is a magic word called "stock exchange." Everything that today's Marshal, then a activist, a businessman, did is described in stock exchange information [...] all of that can be read, it was checked, so including it [in the National Security Council's agenda] is some kind of malice - he continued.

Today, the District Court in Warsaw-Mokotów may make a decision regarding the request for the temporary detention of Zbigniew Ziobro. The hearing on this matter has been (for the second time) adjourned – this time until February 5th.
