Afternoon Political Roundup: More PiS Candidates Announced, No Agreement Between PO and SLD, PM Morawiecki Unveils "Farmer Plus" — MATEUSZ MORAWIECKI ANNOUNCES THE "FARMER PLUS" PROGRAM. - We have prepared a package for farmers, which we will present soon, before the holidays. A package that I can tentatively call "Farmer Plus." I don't want to reveal all the elements of this package, but we will certainly be adding new elements to our agricultural policy - said the Prime Minister during a meeting with residents of Bystrzyca Kłodzka. — THE PRIME MINISTER ON THE EVEN DEVELOPMENT OF POLAND. - Connecting areas like the Kłodzko Valley, Bystrzyca Kłodzka to the rest of Poland, linking it communicatively with Europe, can be said to be an absolutely fundamental task for us. We have set ourselves the goal of ensuring that Poland develops evenly. Not like our predecessors, where, frankly speaking, big cities like Warsaw developed very well, and something was supposed to trickle down from the king's table, to use an old Polish saying, to these municipalities and districts in the remote, more distant corners of Poland - stated Mateusz Morawiecki. — NO AGREEMENT BETWEEN PO AND SLD REGARDING WARSAW, TALKS WITH PIEKARSKA TOMORROW. Today, last-ditch, high-level talks were held between PO and SLD regarding the local government elections in Warsaw. According to 300POLITYKA sources, no agreement was reached, so talks with Katarzyna Piekarska are scheduled for tomorrow regarding her candidacy in Warsaw.  — THE PIS POLITICAL COMMITTEE HAS APPROVED FURTHER CANDIDATES FOR CITY MAYORS. Ireneusz Zyska has been nominated as the candidate in Wałbrzych, and Wojciech Skurkiewicz in Radom. The full list is available here. The committee was chaired by Joachim Brudziński, with the authorization of Jarosław Kaczyński. — BEATA MAZUREK ASSURES THAT THE PIS CHAIRMAN IS DOING WELL. - The Chairman [Jarosław Kaczyński] is doing well. We are in constant contact with him. Nothing happens without the Chairman's knowledge. He is in a hospital in Warsaw, and I am in constant contact with him. All these fairy tales that he is somewhere in Gliwice or further are untrue. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he will return to us physically soon. He is in good [shape] - informed the PiS spokesperson after the meeting of the Political Committee. — PSL DEMANDS THE RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE. - We demand the immediate resignation of Minister Jurgiel, the resignation of a pest for the Polish countryside, the resignation of a minister who for over two years has been unable to respond to challenges and solve the problems of the Polish countryside. He has no ability to do so, he does not conduct dialogue, he does not talk, he is not willing to cooperate. We extended a hand for cooperation, but it was always rejected. Today, on behalf of the PSL, I have sent a letter to Prime Minister Morawiecki - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a briefing in the Sejm. He emphasized that he counts on the Prime Minister making such a decision and requesting the President for a dismissal.
