On the third day of the Economic Forum in Krynica, the United Right's candidate for the mayor of Warsaw, Patryk Jaki, will participate in debates organized by TVP (at 12:05 PM) and WP (at 12:30 PM), as well as a discussion panel on the digital transformation of cities (at 2:35 PM).

In the capital, the Civic Coalition's candidate, Rafał Trzaskowski, as part of the "18 Districts - One Warsaw" campaign, will meet with residents of Praga-Południe at 6:00 PM. At 8:30 AM, the Wygra Warszawa coalition and its candidate, Jan Śpiewak, will respond "to the ideas for supporting childless families announced" by the Civic Coalition.

President Andrzej Duda will visit Lower Silesia. At 4:30 PM, he will meet with residents of Zgorzelec, and at 7:15 PM - with residents of Lubań. Additionally, today at the Belvedere Palace, a ceremony will be held for ambassadors to present their letters of credence to the president.

- I understand that you are referring to the SMS that was sent. The prosecution itself, through the mouth of the spokesperson for the District Prosecutor's Office in Gdańsk, as far as I know, stated that it was a very unfortunate situation. The prosecution has the right and the duty to gather such data. The method of gathering this data, via SMS, as well as its content, was unfortunate - stated Michał Wójcik in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego", when asked why the prosecution needs to know and gather data on which judges are stricter and which are more lenient. He added that the prosecution does gather such statistical data, but in a different manner.

- There is no government position on this matter [the CJEU ruling]. This was about something else. To show that some rulings of the Court of Justice of the EU in various European countries are not being implemented - stated Michał Wójcik in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I don't think the court will deal with this matter regarding preliminary questions. Do you know why? Because no one in Europe will allow themselves to create legal chaos. No one just suspends regulations and laws like that - added the Deputy Minister of Justice. - You have been heating things up, saying that the CJEU will address this topic, preliminary questions. As it stands, it hasn't, as is known. These are purely technical actions - he continued.

Piasecki: Allegedly tomorrow after 1 PM, Łapiński's dismissal and appointment of a successor

- Regarding the Warsaw elections, I am considering a scenario where in the first round, I am considering, it's not a decision yet, supporting Mr. Wojciechowicz, and in the second round, Trzaskowski. To show that there are candidates who have a reasonable, pragmatic approach, and in the second round, to support Rafał Trzaskowski. This is how we have often voted in presidential elections - said Ryszard Petru in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the "Gość Radia Zet" program.

- I personally am not participating in local government elections, therefore, I will be supporting Nowoczesna's candidates, in various types of coalitions, various types of elections in individual voivodeships, because I believe that these Nowoczesna candidates, most of whom I know, are the best within the so-called Civic Coalition - said Ryszard Petru in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

- Regarding the main conclusions, I would advise him to choose his people well. He must choose his people well. The second issue, I can't complain about this one. Timing is the most important thing. The timing I chose, when it comes to creating Nowoczesna, was appropriate. I'll just say that launching a project in local elections, which you're not actually running in, is surprising to me. It's not optimal timing – said Ryszard Petru in a conversation with Beata Lubecka on the 'Guest of Radio Zet' program.

- I thought he would run for the mayor of Słupsk after all. Then, he would make a decision about what's next and which elections he wants to participate in, because you can't run in all of them. From what I know, he will now run for a councilor in Słupsk. Then, this needs to be explained to the voters somehow; you can't run in all elections – for a councilor, for a Member of the European Parliament, next year for parliament, and then for president. At some point, people will say: hey, where are you actually headed? Timing is the most important thing, and people are very important – Petru added.

– In the morning, before noon, I'm heading to Tychy. A beautiful city in the Silesian Voivodeship. As you know, Tychy is run by a representative sympathetic to Civic Platform. Nevertheless, that's where I'm going to hand over funds for a very interesting investment. Perhaps I won't reveal details just yet. It's important for young local communities. We don't look at all at who's in charge there. Primarily, what's important to us is to serve people through our infrastructure policy, such as local roads, and that's how we approach it. Of course, I'm very happy if I can cooperate with a mayor like the one in Stalowa Wola – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a conversation with Paweł Lisiecki on "Trójka's Political Salon."

„The ability to form coalitions after the elections is important. PiS does not have this possibility. PiS has no partners; it is anti-local government. Four years ago, when there were local government elections, the very good result of PSL allowed us to build a coalition in 15 out of 16 voivodeships. It all has its logic. We tend to improve our results. Civic Coalition is expanding and improving point by point. It's a very slow but steady progress. The campaign has just begun. If it continues at this pace and in this direction, I am very optimistic about the elections” - said the leader of Civic Platform, Grzegorz Schetyna, during the programme „Tłit” on WP.

“We have given ourselves the opportunity to discuss the program. This is crucial and fundamental. Local government elections are not a matter of an anti-abortion law. We want to talk and we are giving ourselves a chance regarding the programmatic basis, concerning issues of equality, but also the fight against poverty, more money for local governments to solve people's problems. We have an agreement on this” – said the PO leader, Grzegorz Schetyna, on WP about cooperation with Inicjatywa Polska.

“I am convinced that the cooperation between Inicjatywa Polska and Civic Platform is a good opportunity for the future. If we win the local government elections, then the next ones are the European elections. We treat them as a great challenge, because they will be 5 months before the parliamentary elections. Step by step” – he added.

- I last spoke with Tusk in June in Brussels. When he comes here, we'll talk about the future. After three elections, which I am deeply convinced were won by Civic Coalition (KO), we will talk about the presidential election. In December 2019, I can say: Donald, there's something, because there's a presidential election. Wassermann got scared of Tusk, because how else can this be explained. I think she realized that there's nothing there, that this committee is a huge fake. That conversation would compromise her before the elections in Krakow. It's pathetic, to put it mildly - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Marek Kacprzak on "Tłit" WP.

- Objectively speaking, there are fewer personal disputes within the United Right camp than one might have expected. When it comes to the possibility of realizing the ambition to replace Jarosław Kaczyński as the head of PiS, the matter is wide open in a dozen years - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Agnieszka Burzyńska on the program "Fakt Opinie".

Bielan also assessed that Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki "performs very well in the role of the face of a campaign aimed at broadening the ruling camp's electorate by attracting voters with moderate views."

- The level of trust in Prime Minister Morawiecki is higher than in the entire United Right camp, and in this sense, he broadens the electorate - said the Deputy Marshal of the Senate. - However, the main condition for PiS winning the parliamentary elections is whether Mateusz Morawiecki will be a good Prime Minister - he emphasized.

According to the Deputy Marshal of the Senate, the United Right is "arguably the most successful political project in the history of Polish parliamentary democracy."

„Initially, we had an assault on the prosecution service, huge purges, dismissals based on political affiliation. Then the element of the arrangement expanded. Minister Ziobro carried out an absolute purge of administrative positions in all courts in Poland, essentially nominating his own administrative directors, i.e., those responsible for finances in each court. Then, the whole of Poland watched as purges of presidents and vice-presidents were carried out. Several hundred judges lost their jobs without any reasons given, without substantive justifications, because Minister Ziobro pointed a finger at them, and then appointed individuals solely based on political affiliation to these positions. The main criterion for selecting new, "Ziobro-appointed" presidents and vice-presidents was not merit, but the private and political relationships Minister Ziobro had cultivated for years” – stated Arkadiusz Myrcha from Civic Platform (PO) at a press conference in the Sejm.

„In recent weeks, we have observed the unveiling of the backstage of constructing further elements of this arrangement. Prosecutors, who are intended to dominate the Supreme Court and step into the shoes of judges who should adjudicate impartially, have been forcefully introduced into the Supreme Court, violating law and all ethical-moral norms. If individuals subordinate to Minister Ziobro or those privately connected to him enter, the Supreme Court loses its character as the objective, most important body in the Polish justice system” – he added.

A campaign bus under the banner of the "Akcja Warszawa" (Warsaw Action) initiative, associated with candidate Rafał Trzaskowski, has begun its journey through the capital.

The bus, which is an integral part of the campaign aimed at winning the mayoral election in Warsaw, was seen on Tuesday, September 4th, 2018, near the Rondo ONZ roundabout. Its presence signals the intensification of the election campaign, with candidates actively engaging with voters across the city.

The initiative, as indicated by the tweet, seeks to mobilize support for its candidate and present its vision for the future of Warsaw. The campaign bus serves as a mobile platform for outreach, information dissemination, and direct interaction with residents.

- I am strongly convinced that Warsaw's authorities are acting under the dictate of developers, and that's why I want to put an end to this. One of the most important challenges for the new president [of Warsaw] will be to bring order to Warsaw spatially and to plan our city in such a way that it is clear how Warsaw is to develop over the next 50 years - stated Patryk Jaki during the Economic Forum in Krynica.

- The organization of a joint Independence March is very close to my heart. I appeal once more to everyone, to our opposition, to our political competitors, as well as to the organizers of the Independence Marches from past years, to march together. So that no one capitalizes on it politically. I myself declare from my side that I will go somewhere at the very back or somewhere in the middle. I will be hidden, because what matters most to me is that we march together, in one march. This is a day on which we should set aside mutual resentments and, in homage to our ancestors, those from 100 years ago, those from 98 years ago, and we are in the Silesian Voivodeship, so it's impossible not to mention the three wonderful, patriotic, independence-oriented Silesian Uprisings, which ended in victory against the might of Germany. The Silesian insurgents chose then, and from this land, I appeal for us to organize this march so that it becomes a great march of unity for our state, for our nation. For those who fear that some fascist or anti-Semitic banners might appear at the march, because irresponsible people or provocateurs might do something like that, my proposal would be that only white and red flags could be carried at this march – said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press briefing in Tychy.

- My days are very fully occupied with work for the state first, and in the evenings, yes, I often meet with the election staff, and on Saturdays and Sundays we have a whole route planned until the end of the pre-election period, i.e., until October 21st or November 4th. I want to appear in all 16 voivodeships, in many county towns, once more and discuss various problems, just as I have been doing. I have held nearly a hundred such meetings over the past few months - Mateusz Morawiecki at a press briefing in Tychy.

On Friday at noon, during a formal roll call, approximately 100 officers of the Marshal's Guard will take an oath before the Marshal of the Sejm – according to information from 300POLITYKA.

The ceremony is connected to the recent entry into force of regulations within a law that comprehensively governs the legal status of this formation. Members of the Sejm's presidium, representatives of the Council of Ministers, and the officers' families are invited to participate in the event.

The ceremony will take place on the grounds of the Sejm complex in front of Building G. Following the oath and blessing, an address by the Marshal of the Sejm is planned.

On January 26, 2018, the Sejm adopted the Act on the Marshal's Guard, which comprehensively regulated the status of this formation as a uniformed service. Among the new duties of the MG are, among others, conducting pyrotechnic and radiological reconnaissance of persons, vehicles, areas, and objects of the Sejm and the Senate.

The act also changes the status of individuals employed in the MG. Instead of being employees of the Chancellery of the Sejm, they become officers of the Marshal's Guard.

Anna Maria Żukowska, the spokesperson for the Left Democratic Alliance (SLD), has reminded the public of the critical words spoken by her party colleague, Dariusz Joński, about the Civic Platform (Platforma Obywatelska). The comparison she used to describe the opposition party was particularly harsh.

"To polityczny śmietnik bez programu i idei" – these were the words attributed to Dariusz Joński by Żukowska in a tweet referencing an earlier statement. This Polish phrase translates to "a political dumpster fire without a program or ideas."

The tweet, shared on September 6, 2018, at 10:25 AM, can be found at the following link: https://twitter.com/am_zukowska/status/1037675259569364992?s=12.

This statement highlights a significant level of internal criticism within the Polish political landscape, particularly regarding the perceived lack of direction and coherent policy from one of the major opposition parties.

- The construction of an inner-city bypass, to be routed through a tunnel under the Wiatraczna roundabout, taking into account all the remarks made by residents of Praga Południe regarding sound barriers to separate residents from noise, that's what we're talking about – said Rafał Trzaskowski at a Town Hall Meeting with residents of Praga Południe.

- The second issue is improving conditions in communal housing. The revitalization of Kamionek and connection to the heating network. It is also incredibly important that we actually have these local problems that are being discussed in some districts. Just as we all talk about education, we talk about paving roads in Rembertów or, for example, in Białołęka or Wesoła. We are discussing connection to the heating network specifically in Praga Południe, Kamionek, Praga Północ, or Targówek. These local issues are incredibly important. The third issue is Sinfonia Varsovia, a new cultural center that is being built here. I am very happy that one of the flagship cultural investments is being built precisely in Praga Południe – Trzaskowski added.

- Today I know that after the section council, there is a decision about a picket organized for September 15th. "Solidarity" has shown the Minister a red card. It's not just about the raises, because "Solidarity" proposes raises for next year at the level of 15%, these are also starting proposals for negotiations. It's also about working hours. Today I heard that the Minister said this problem is solved, but the trade unionists of "Solidarity" teaching staff say this problem is not solved - said Piotr Duda in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk in the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.

- This is a last resort, but if we, as "Solidarity", take to the streets, there won't be five, ten, or twenty thousand of us, because if you want to take to the streets and show the government our strength, there must be one hundred thousand of us – Duda added.

"Biedroń isn't interested in local elections. I try to talk to active politicians because I believe building coalitions is not an easy task in Poland. I want it to be a step-by-step process, to expand, not to threaten with some kind of destruction" - said the PO leader, Grzegorz Schetyna, on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

"I don't call Robert Biedroń and mope. Boys don't cry, and someone who talks about opposition integration unnecessarily wants to divide it or create some rivalry. We are not rivals on the opposition side. We shouldn't compete with each other, but look for what is common" - he added.

- The state is not just local government, even if it is doing very well. The state is also central government, a Constitution that should be the same for all citizens, not just protect the elite. The state is not judges who feel impunity and courts that work slowly. This is not a just state. The state is the government that thinks about ordinary people. Those who work hard every day. I am very, very pleased that unemployment has been eliminated to such a great extent in Poland - stated President Andrzej Duda in Lubań.

“[Trzaskowski] believes [in his victory]. I talk to him every day. He is very engaged, this campaign is intense. He is very convinced that he must fight and that he cannot give up. And he will win these elections, it’s just not easy when you face someone who promises everything to everyone, has no limits. Then the conversation, the debate about the program, about plans is simply difficult” – said PO chairman, Grzegorz Schetyna, on TVN24. 

"I think [Małgorzata Wassermann] was more afraid of disgrace, which is why I assess this as an escape from interrogating Tusk, because that interrogation could have been devastating for her and taken away any chances, I'm not even talking about victory in Krakow, because she is not the favorite, but even for entering the second round at all. I believe that the entire concept of building an investigative commission as a hammer to strike Donald Tusk's government, the opposition, today it is clear that it's all a joke, that there are no specifics" - said the chairman of Civic Platform, Grzegorz Schetyna, on TVN24. 

- I am happy that we have managed, as I promised you during the campaign, to lower the retirement age, which the Constitution and the Constitutional Tribunal failed to defend and which, against the will of the entire nation, was raised during the previous government's term. Now we have managed to lower this retirement age. Justice is returning, a fair state where power listens to citizens and fulfills its obligations. The Prime Minister recently spoke about further commitments to local Poland. I was enormously pleased that these words were spoken publicly. This is important because local Poland means sustainable development, cities like Lubań, Zgorzelec - stated President Andrzej Duda in Lubań.
