At 9:00 AM, a press conference will be held by Rafał Trzaskowski, the Civic Coalition's (KO) candidate for Mayor of Warsaw, where further proposals from the "We Support Families" program will be presented.

At 9:40 AM, a press conference will be held by Patryk Jaki, the United Right's (ZP) candidate for Mayor of Warsaw. Additionally, at 8:30 AM, a conference will be held by Paulina Piechna-Więckiewicz, at 10:30 AM by Jan Śpiewak, and at 12:00 PM - a presentation of the "number ones" for the SLD Lewica Razem in the Warsaw City Council.

At 2:00 PM in Słupsk, a press conference will be held by Robert Biedroń and Krystyna Danilecka-Wojewódzka concerning the local government elections and the election campaign in Słupsk. Tomorrow in Warsaw, Biedroń is scheduled to announce his political plans.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will be visiting the Silesian Voivodeship. At 9:00 AM, he will participate in the ceremony marking the start of the 2018/2019 school year at the Mikołaj Kopernik Construction and IT Schools Complex, and at 10:00 AM - in a Holy Mass in Jastrzębie-Zdrój.

The head of the Polish government will participate at 11:15 AM in the ceremony of planting the Oak of Freedom, and at 11:45 AM - in the celebrations of the 38th anniversary of the signing of the Jastrzębie Agreement and the 30th anniversary of the mining strikes in 1988.

- There's no point in deceiving ourselves that the result on a national scale is probably more important, because it shows whether people, citizens, Poles, still want change, this "good change", or if they want to bet on today's opposition. However, if we managed to regain control of one of the big cities, it would probably be a surprise, because let's not hide the fact that in big cities, the favorites are either the incumbent mayors, or, as in Warsaw, politicians like Rafał Trzaskowski. If you look at the statistics from previous elections, theoretically they should go on vacation for 5 months and win like that – stated Patryk Jaki in "Sygnały dnia” PR1.

- We conducted our own research. The research indicates that if people who have never voted in Warsaw, but live here on a daily basis, were to participate in the elections, we would win these elections - stated Patryk Jaki in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1. He added that an information campaign would be conducted on how to register as a voter, but in the future, the state must do something about it because it is a complicated procedure.

- We are clearly stating [on the billboards] that PiS took the money and that everything is getting more expensive. That's the truth. Do you know why Kaczyński's face is there? Because Poles were fooled once, when they voted for Beata Szydło, and ended up with Kaczyński. They were fooled a second time when they voted for Andrzej Duda, and ended up with Kaczyński. I hope they won't fall for it a third time - said Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego." He emphasized that there is not a single untruth on these billboards, and he himself is focusing on the program for Warsaw.

- From today, there are billboards where we talk about a Warsaw for everyone. We are talking about a Warsaw that will not discriminate against people based on their age, political views, whether they are disabled or not, or their sexual orientation. I spoke about all of this yesterday at the Diversity Days - said Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Interview".

- We need to remind Poles that they have been fooled twice already, and that today they will not be choosing mayors or presidents who will be independent, but rather people who will be taking calls from Kaczyński. This was, moreover, explicitly stated by my opponent, that he would listen to Jarosław Kaczyński, and that in reality, he would be the one making the most important decisions in Warsaw - said Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- Prime Minister Gowin should rather explain his words, in which he states that he will not abide by the rulings of the European Court of Justice, which in practice means preparing for Poland's exit from the EU - said Rafał Trzaskowski in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- PiS is not credible in its announcements. Because if it announces huge investments, but loses EU funds, it's interesting to see how it will finance them? - said Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- It was clear from the very beginning that it would be difficult, that we would have to fight for every vote from every Varsovian. It is difficult, if only because there are over a dozen candidates - said Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - It was clear that it would be close, it was clear that we would have to fight until the very end. We will see. Polls only motivate us to work harder - he added.

- It depends on how many kilometers I use each month for private trips. I pay for all of them every time. The driver always records which trips are private, and then I account for his time, work, and fuel. I can immediately say that I have paid the most; I've checked back several years. None of the deputy ministers from previous governments, and there were probably even 20 of them, paid as much as I do. We will prepare [documents concerning expenses] in the next few days - stated Patryk Jaki in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

„I believe that the last few years of local government in Poland offer many good examples of action for the residents of municipalities, districts, or voivodeships, but there are places where significant abuses have occurred or are occurring. We want to be more honest with our voters, but also with Poles. In this local government campaign, we will certainly appreciate and praise places where a region or voivodeship, well-managed, has civilizationaly raised the living standards of its residents, but cities like Warsaw or Gdańsk, where blatant pathologies occur, will simply be condemned in our campaign” - said Tomasz Poręba, head of the PiS campaign staff, on the morning program of Catholic radio stations „Siódma9”.

- On September 25th, when the budget bill is adopted by the Council of Ministers, it will be sent to parliament. The deadline for submission is set by the constitution. Three months before the end of the budget year. At the moment, we are conducting certain consultations, agreements, and some adjustments to this budget are possible – said Teresa Czerwińska in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the "Gość Radia Zet" program.

- The budget, from my perspective, is a financial plan that should be realistic, feasible, and take into account all government priorities, and this budget is precisely that – added the Minister of Finance.

- Regarding the head of government, I don't think that despite being on the road, the Prime Minister is not fully up-to-date. However, decisions are made by the Council of Ministers. Who will be in charge? Well, the Prime Minister will be in charge, as has been the case so far. Certainly, the electoral campaign presents certain challenges, but I don't think it hinders the work of the Council of Ministers. As before, the Council of Ministers makes decisions and meets regularly - said Teresa Czerwińska in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

- Yes [I am for in vitro being permissible]. I hold the same position as the Episcopate Conference, that it's better to regulate it somehow. I won't deal with ideology. If this program is in place at the moment I take office as Mayor of Warsaw, if the voters allow, I won't cancel it. If it's not, I won't introduce it. I will not engage in ideology in Warsaw. I believe the Mayor of Warsaw should be pragmatic - stated Patryk Jaki in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM. He added that the time for ideological disputes is in parliament, but local government should not concern itself with them.

- I am not scared, but I believe that now is a time for consolidation. Because if the opposition does not consolidate, it will be very difficult to win against PiS. There is a new political [entity by Robert Biedroń]. Let's see what it looks like, whether it will truly materialize, because for now, we only have rumors. The question is, with whom does he want to create this list? We are open to having one opposition list. We are talking with very diverse groups. The question is whether Robert Biedroń will be interested in this. We have spoken with Biedroń and we are always open to cooperation, however, in recent months I have a feeling that it is rather Robert Biedroń who is not answering Chairman Schetyna's calls. We will see how it unfolds. I have this knowledge that he is not answering – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki during the extended segment of "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Yesterday, during the convention, we primarily showed that the right has learned its lesson. It is united, which has been a major problem for years, causing the right to lose. Secondly, we presented a group of young, ambitious individuals. No political party today has such a base among young people as PiS, which is a party of young people. Thirdly, yesterday we presented Prime Minister Morawiecki's 'five' for local government – stated Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Polityczne Graffiti".

"Once again, the team governing Warsaw, led by Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz and Rafał Trzaskowski, has served us poorly prepared education. Today, children in Wilanów, for example, had to be moved to a hotel, and in Białołęka, to specially rented premises. There will be a regular shortage of places in after-school care facilities, which are often non-existent or lack capacity. I want to make a commitment that if I become the mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, such situations will not happen again. Parents will be certain that their children will be safe in educational facilities. Secondly, we will invest additional funds in expanding after-school care facilities. These facilities will offer specially dedicated extracurricular activities, so that parents can be sure that their children are properly looked after until they finish work. They will learn an additional language, music, and develop their other skills. What is currently happening with education in Warsaw will not happen again" said the United Right's candidate for Mayor of Warsaw, Deputy Minister Patryk Jaki, at a press conference.  

„Massive traffic jams are returning to Warsaw, and I want to declare that if I become the president of the capital city of Warsaw, I will end the policy of humiliating drivers. It's high time, I don't know if it's funny for TVN, to stop narrowing streets, eliminating parking spaces, and putting up bollards everywhere. Furthermore, my opponent says that road construction can be halted, and bridges don't need to be built. Pedestrian and cycling bridges will suffice in the future. I want to say that once and for all, I will end this mad policy of fighting drivers. It is high time for Warsaw to propose good solutions regarding public transport, and then I am convinced that a large portion of drivers will choose public transport, which is in the interest of the entire city” - said Deputy Minister Patryk Jaki at a press conference. 

- I strongly disagree with forming a coalition with the Civic Coalition. I strongly disagree with the 'either KO or death' narrative. There is an alternative. I can't imagine my voters, male and female, getting Grzegorz Schetyna packaged with me. It's impossible to create a left-wing agenda, to realize an agenda within the Platform, within KO. In Warsaw, for 12 years, the Platform was unable to deal with the issue of reprivatization. Shoulder to shoulder with PiS, they voted to allow the implementation of a plan for the southern city center that would permit private-ecclesiastical investments, which are detrimental to the local community – stated Paulina Piechna-Więckiewicz at a press conference. She added, "Don't believe that the Civic Coalition will stop PiS, because they themselves didn't do it in 2015 and they won't do it again."

- The Polish school is in crisis. This crisis is being deepened by the education reform. Today, students with disabilities know that they will not be learning in school. They have been expelled from school; individual education can only take place at home. Today, seventh-graders know that they face a year of academic overload. They will not be able to cope with the obligations imposed on them by the Minister of Education. Today, eighth-graders know that another difficult year awaits them, also overloaded with duties, but a year that is to decide their future, and they know that this future is threatened because in a year they will meet the last graduating class of junior high school students in post-secondary, post-primary schools. Today, junior high school students go to school and learn that they will have a fifth math teacher, a fourth homeroom teacher, because junior high schools are being phased out, junior high schools are an unwanted child of PiS, junior high schools and their students are treated as second-class students. Today, we know that the school is unprepared, that local governments do not have money to prepare schools. They have been tasked with something that requires years to complete – Krystyna Szumilas said at a press conference.

- We read that the Minister is calm, that she is satisfied, that everything is buttoned up. Perhaps she is, but the Polish school has been ruined by her reform. The Polish school is in crisis. The Polish school has been left to fend for itself. The Minister of Education sits contentedly at her desk in the Ministry of Education, looking at the school through rose-tinted glasses. She does not hear, she does not see, she does not feel what is happening in Polish schools. That is why, as Civic Platform, we will submit a motion to dismiss the Minister before the first Sejm session. Enough demolishing of Polish schools – Szumilas added.

Patryk Jaki, a prominent figure in Polish politics, has accused the Civic Platform (PO) of attempting to obstruct the work of a parliamentary committee by lodging a motion with the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

The tweet from Jaki, posted on August 31, 2018, states: "PO wants to block the work of the Parliamentary Committee through a motion to the CJEU." This statement suggests a political maneuver aimed at halting or significantly hindering the proceedings of a specific parliamentary body, with the CJEU being invoked as the venue for this action.

While the exact nature of the parliamentary committee and the specific grounds for the PO's motion are not detailed in the provided snippet, Jaki's accusation implies that the opposition party is using legal or quasi-legal means at the European level to disrupt governmental or parliamentary processes in Poland.

Such actions often involve disputes over the rule of law, national sovereignty, or the interpretation of EU legislation, where political parties may seek intervention from the CJEU to settle disagreements or challenge decisions made by the Polish government or parliament.

"We currently have local elections. We are talking about our local proposals, but ahead of us are further elections, European ones. Today, as you know, Robert Biedroń will announce his withdrawal from running in local elections. I have a proposal for Robert Biedroń. Let's talk about Europe, let's talk about what connects us. If we have common ideas, let's discuss whether a partner, coalition start in the European elections is possible" - said Adrian Zandberg from the Together party at a press conference.

Today, the SLD presented the lead candidates for the elections to the Warsaw City Council and the Mazovian Voivodeship Sejmik. For the Sejmik elections in Warsaw, the Alliance has placed three former MPs at the forefront: Katarzyna Piekarska, Małgorzata Szmajdzińska, and Danuta Waniek.

The lists for the Warsaw City Council will be headed by, among others: Andrzej Rozenek, Monika Jaruzelska, Jan Hartman, and Piotr Gadzinowski. In one of the districts, the list leader will be Jan Artymowski, the Secretary-General of the Democratic Party (SD), which has entered into an electoral agreement with the SLD in Warsaw.

During a press conference in Słupsk, the city's mayor, Robert Biedroń, announced that he would not be seeking re-election, a fact we previously reported on 300POLITYCE.

“Poland is a common good. Therefore, we must heal it. That is why I have decided that I will not run in the next mayoral election for Słupsk. It's time to start a new chapter. This is a difficult decision, but if I were to leave office after the local elections and before the end of my term, a party commissioner would take over power in my beloved city. I cannot allow that. It would be, above all, disloyal to the residents of Słupsk,” said the mayor in a special video spot.

- I do not want to use the [Amber Gold] investigative commission for my local election campaign, hence my decision, with the full acceptance of the commission's presidium - stated Małgorzata Wassermann in a conversation with journalists, referring to the change in the date of Donald Tusk's hearing by the Amber Gold investigative commission from October 2nd to November 5th.

- I am surprised that information that was among the MPs has leaked to you. First, I informed the commission members, but unfortunately, I regret to note that you knew before the other MPs did - she added.

- It's hard to resist the impression that we sometimes deal with a certain professional solidarity. We have tried to counter a series of untrue or distorted information that has appeared in Europe, largely thanks to representatives of the total opposition, regarding the justice system reform. A white paper has been prepared. Those individuals who have familiarized themselves, those politicians, those lawyers who have acquainted themselves with the material contained in this white paper, can indeed engage in such a discussion. Most politicians, I have the impression, have probably not familiarized themselves with these solutions, because many of the solutions we are proposing for the reform of the judiciary are modeled on solutions already functioning in Western Europe - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM's "Afternoon Conversation".

- The Law and Justice government will act in accordance with the law, and depending on how the authorities of Warsaw proceed, regardless of whether the mayor comes from Civic Platform, Law and Justice, or perhaps from the Kukiz club, in accordance with the law and with the best intentions from the government's side, we will cooperate with such authorities - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM's "Afternoon Conversation".

- From the very first weeks of the campaign, the opposition has accustomed us to focusing on negative campaigning. PiS is being slandered; a defamation campaign is underway. I'm thinking about billboards, which first hang on walls and then end up on cars. It's a campaign designed to evoke negative emotions, which uses manipulation - stated Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- I don't believe anyone would attach conditions or resort to the kind of political blackmail you mentioned. I can only say one thing: it is absolutely obvious that when local and central authorities are geared towards cooperation, not confrontation, not an ideological squabble, then collaboration becomes easier - stated Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

„President Duda likes to declaim, to pause for effect, but I think he is responsible for undermining democracy, because his signature finalized the process of destroying the state. He will certainly be held accountable one day” – said Prof. Jadwiga Staniszkis on "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.

„I think Duda, in his declamations, feels that this process is slipping out of his hands. Small repressions are already beginning. It's an inertia reminiscent of the late 1940s, when this whole discussion about history, the distortion of history, and the demoralization of people began. All of that has happened before” – she added. 

„Biedroń is a great mayor of Słupsk. It’s a poor city. He made a lot of sensible moves there. He has character, and people should assess him against other politicians, knowing the full context. He needs an environment that would support him, for example, in the presidential elections. I don't think it would be a party that participates in all parliamentary elections. He needs people who will support him, encourage him” – Professor Jadwiga Staniszkis said on TVN24.

„A man who was able to rebuild himself after such a complete collapse and who knows the management challenges of a city like Słupsk would be a much better president than President Duda” – she added.

Krzysztof Łapiński, in a conversation with 300POLITYKĄ, confirms the information reported on the evening by the online service of Rzeczpospolita regarding his resignation from the position of spokesperson for President Andrzej Duda. The departing minister told us: I am grateful to the President for the opportunity to collaborate. I confirm that I am taking on new challenges outside of politics.

Krzysztof Łapiński served as a minister in the Presidential Chancellery since May 2017. He was the third spokesperson for President Duda.
