As we reported on 300POLITYCE, Błażej Spychalski, a former employee of the PiS central office and parliamentary club, a long-time collaborator of Marcin Mastalerek, will be appointed at **1:30 PM** as Secretary of State in the Chancellery of President Andrzej Duda, responsible for overseeing the Press Office.

At **11:00 AM**, Minister of Investment and Development Jerzy Kwieciński will hold a press briefing at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. At **12:00 PM**, during a solemn roll call, approximately 100 officers of the Marshal's Guard will take an oath before the Marshal of the Sejm. The ceremony is related to the recent entry into force of the act comprehensively regulating the legal status of this formation.

- "Warsaw residents are bothered by the lack of green spaces and small architecture on the streets, and by situations where pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists are often forced to use the same space. Streets then become a field of collisions and conflicts" - announces the KWW Wygra Warszawa (Will to Win Warsaw) conference at **11:00 AM**, with the participation of, among others, Jan Śpiewak.

At **12:00 PM**, the Together party will hold a press conference on electoral demands concerning the secular nature of the state and the current political situation, with the participation of Adrian Zandberg and Marcelina Zawisza. At **1:10 PM**, a press conference will be held by candidate for Mayor of Warsaw, Jacek Wojciechowicz, and MP Stefan Niesiołowski.

At **5:00 PM**, at the Presidential Palace, President Andrzej Duda will present the appointment act for the Commander of the Operational Command of the Armed Forces to Major General Tomasz Piotrowski. At the same time, PAD, at the request of the Minister of National Defence, Mariusz Błaszczak, will present the act of dismissal from the position of Commander of the Operational Command of the Armed Forces to Lieutenant General Sławomir Wojciechowski, in connection with his taking up the position of commander at the Multinational Corps Northeast Headquarters in Szczecin.

Also at **5:00 PM**, the United Right's candidate for Mayor of Warsaw, Patryk Jaki, will continue his meetings with residents - today in Ochota - as part of the #100imyPodBlokiem (#100DaysUnderTheBlock) campaign.

- There are contacts with President Duda. Today at 1:30 PM I will be at the swearing-in ceremony in the Presidential Palace for the new spokesperson, Błażej Spychalski. In those versions, I abstained regarding the National Council of the Judiciary and the Supreme Court. Of course, I approved of the decision on the vetoes - stated Łukasz Rzepecki in an interview with PR24.

- I think Błażej Spychalski, his experience, as well as his organizational skills, will be very helpful. It is also known that the work of a spokesperson does not solely consist of being in the media, but also involves backstage work, organization, and tidying up the press office. Błażej faces significant challenges, of course, I am cheering him on and congratulating him - he added.

– The President's decision. I am convinced that it was well-considered and promising, perhaps a well-beginning political career. Let us allow the President to decide on the people who vote for him. I am personally happy, all things considered, that young people are building careers, trying to achieve success in various places – said Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Conversation".

– If we look at it from the President's perspective, the decision was certainly consulted and well-considered. I wish the young man many good statements and prosperity – added Poręba.

- However, it really does look like, unable to cope with the United Right government through democratic means, some judges, some opposition politicians, I would even say a significant majority, apart from the Kukiz '15 club, it's the entire opposition, are trying to win the democratic dispute in Poland through foreign pressure. I think Poles will not accept such a method - stated Jarosław Gowin in TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour".

- In the countryside, it's known that our main opponent is the PSL, and that's where we dedicate various solutions, for instance, our recent program for the Polish countryside, which is very specific in terms of highly detailed solutions - said Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Conversation".

- I don't have the feeling that we had an incompetent minister. Political dynamics required a slightly different language, a different way of communicating our programs, and it seems to me that this was a change that is well-received by our farmers – added Poręba.

- We are already far ahead of them; they are in Warsaw. They are discussing their program, programmatic proposals, more or less interesting. Yesterday, I heard that regarding the local government program, Mr. Schetyna proposed impeaching the president, but okay. We are already in Wrocław, holding a regional convention in Wrocław with a very specific program for Lower Silesia. The next day, we are in Opole, talking to people, traveling in the PiSbus. We have a very well-planned weekend and will propose very concrete solutions for Lower Silesia - said Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Interview."

„We have a different campaign structure. It will be based on local, regional, and voivodeship-level activities. We will organize a convention, there will be many meetings with people. I don't want to lock myself in a bus. I don't want to look, like Morawiecki, through a bus window at Polish reality and pretend, staging encounters at gas stations. All of that has already happened. I've seen it all. If Tusk comes and runs a campaign like that, it will be nice and pleasant. If Morawiecki does it, repeating what Tusk did before, it's simply ridiculous” - said PO leader, Grzegorz Schetyna, on Radio Zet.

“When I see PiS activists and journalists starting to wonder if Trzaskowski wants to withdraw from the presidential race, it only means that Jaki and PiS have a problem in Warsaw. The disgraceful, and quite frankly dirty campaign against Trzaskowski, Jaki's promises which compromise him, show that Trzaskowski is consistently, day by day, moving towards victory in Warsaw, convincing Varsovians to vote for him” – Grzegorz Schetyna said on Radio Zet.

Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS) has announced an upcoming livestream event scheduled for this evening. The event will feature Mateusz Morawiecki, the Prime Minister, along with other PiS candidates. This announcement was made via a post on the official PiS Twitter account, accompanied by a link to the relevant tweet.

The specific details regarding the time and exact content of the livestream are expected to be further elaborated upon by the party. However, the announcement suggests a platform where party leadership and candidates will engage directly with the public, likely to discuss current political matters, campaign plans, or policy initiatives.

The official tweet from @pisorgpl, dated September 7, 2018, at 10:48 AM, can be accessed at the provided URL for more information.

- [Barbara Nowacka] left, she stood together with Mr. Arłukowicz, Napieralski, Rosati. This is certainly not a guarantee that any postulates related to the left will be fulfilled by Civic Platform, because if it were such a guarantee, then these postulates would have been fulfilled with these three people I mentioned, besides her - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski in "Sedno sprawy" on Radio Plus.

- Everyone has the right to choose their path. They could have joined the Together party, the SLD, they chose this path. The political market verifies and prices individual moves. If it concerns this leftist movement, Inicjatywa Polska, the political market, meaning Mr. Schetyna, bought it for one seat in the Łódź voivodeship assembly, one seat in Warsaw, and a promise of one seat in the Sejm elections. I wouldn't sell Inicjatywa Polska for such a paltry sum - added the head of SLD.

- Mr. Biedroń will be running, from what I understand, the first elections will be for the European Parliament. He probably won't run in local government elections, because you need to field 20,000 people. I wish him luck, let him be verified in these elections. Let him simply see what it means to create a nationwide structure. If he wants our help, we will help him. I have declared this more than once. For now, he must win the presidential election in Słupsk - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" (The Heart of the Matter).

- Last year, we managed to increase humanitarian aid sevenfold - stated Minister Beata Kempa at the Economic Forum in Krynica. By September 2018, Poland had provided over 48 million PLN to humanitarian organizations offering assistance, including in areas of armed conflict.

- The remedy for the immense migration crisis is on-site aid - said Kempa, who is responsible for humanitarian aid at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, during the panel discussion "How to Help in Times of Crisis." Last year, Poland allocated over 173 million PLN for all humanitarian aid, of which 38 million PLN was transferred to non-governmental organizations.

- Currently, our two main areas of operation are the Middle East and Africa. It must be emphasized that the number of people requiring immediate humanitarian assistance continues to grow - the minister stated. Kempa stressed that the most effective form of aid is coordinated on-site assistance. - It would be best if we coordinated such aid within the framework of the European Union. Such a solution would be very effective - she added.

– That is the President's opinion. I dare not comment on the words of the President. He is, after all, the President of Poland – stated Małgorzata Gersdorf, when asked by TVN24 about the head of state's remarks regarding changes in the judiciary. When pressed on whether she felt like an oppressor, she replied: – I didn't oppress anyone. At most, I gave students 'two' grades.

- For many weeks, PiS politicians, led by Prime Minister Morawiecki, have been telling Poles, the voters, that Civic Platform is not substantively prepared for the local government elections, that it has no program. The truth is quite the opposite. Civic Platform, Civic Coalition has a local government program, prepared for the upcoming elections. We have both the Civic Coalition's local government declaration, in which we have included our vision for the system of local government after winning the parliamentary elections, and for the local government elections, we have prepared 16 regional programs. Each region has developed a concrete proposal over the past months, an offer to the residents of its voivodeship, with which our candidates will go out in the election campaign. Today, we have come to ask President Kaczyński, Prime Minister Morawiecki, where PiS has hidden its local government program? Because we cannot find it on any website, in any materials. The so-called Morawiecki's Fifth is a rather jocular proposal for actions that local government officials in Poland have been implementing for a long time - stated Jacek Protas at a briefing in front of the PiS headquarters. Łukasz Schreiber from PiS appeared at the conference and proposed an exchange of programs.

- Nobody has talked to me about this [running for the EP]. This is purely media information - stated Beata Mazurek during a conversation with journalists in the Sejm. - It's no secret that when there's a need for parliamentarians to run [for the EP], they run - she added. As she emphasized, PiS is not working on lists for the European Parliament.

„I want several ministers to represent me in the media. These will be ministers: Błażej Spychalski, Paweł Mucha, and Krzysztof Szczerski. I want to clarify immediately for the media: I do not consider the minister a presidential spokesperson in the full sense of the word. We are changing this slightly compared to the function we defined for Minister Łapiński" - said President Andrzej Duda. This confirmed yesterday's information from 300POLITYKA.

„In this regard, I am returning to a certain model that was adopted by President Lech Kaczyński. I want to emulate this model because I saw it function closely, and who knows, perhaps it is a better model" - he added.

- Today my guest is Stefan Niesiołowski. This is a great honor for me, because we all know the Marshal, his past, his fight for a free Poland. He is with us today, which is of great importance to me - stated Jacek Wojciechowicz at a briefing.

- I have known Jacek Wojciechowicz for a long time. We were together in the Sejm for a period, I know him from various interventions at the city hall. I had a few matters, he dealt with them in a factual, substantive manner. In my assessment, he is the only candidate, I regret to say, substantive, who knows, who understands what Warsaw is about, who avoids political theatrics, brawls, absurd bidding on metro lines, on who will lower or raise what. He is a candidate who, it seems to me, is needed by Warsaw, and I wholeheartedly support this candidacy - said Stefan Niesiołowski.

The Polish People's Party (PSL) has announced its intention to run independently in the upcoming local government elections. The party's leader, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, believes that the PSL is the only political force capable of effectively opposing the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party at the local level.

In a statement released on Twitter ([https://twitter.com/nowePSL/status/1038078067351212032](https://twitter.com/nowePSL/status/1038078067351212032)), Kosiniak-Kamysz emphasized the importance of local government as a crucial arena for political engagement. He argued that while national politics often dominate the discourse, it is at the local level where citizens directly experience the impact of governance and where their voices can be most effectively heard.

The PSL leader expressed concerns about the direction in which PiS is leading the country, particularly in the context of local administration. He stated that the People's Party, with its long history and strong ties to rural communities and smaller towns, is uniquely positioned to defend the interests of these areas against what he termed "centralizing tendencies" and potential overreach from the national government.

"We believe that in these local elections, it is crucial to have a strong, independent voice that can act as a counterbalance to the current government," Kosiniak-Kamysz said. "The PSL has always been a party of the people, representing their everyday needs and concerns. We are confident that voters will recognize this and entrust us with the responsibility of managing their communities."

The announcement signals a strategic move by the PSL to assert its distinct identity and appeal directly to voters who may be disillusioned with the broader political landscape. By running independently, the party aims to maximize its electoral potential and present itself as a viable alternative to PiS in the upcoming elections.

Deputy Prime Minister Beata Szydło is supporting Law and Justice (PiS) candidates in the Central Pomerania region. Today, as reported by "Głos Koszaliński", she endorsed Joanna Pawłowicz, a candidate for mayor of Szczecinek.

"The government needs partners in local government too," Szydło emphasized. The Deputy Prime Minister will visit Koszalin, Sławno, and Kołobrzeg on Saturday. This same region was visited by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the end of August, where he thanked Minister Szefernaker for support for the surrounding counties and Koszalin itself.

On that occasion, the head of government was also asked about one of the government's unfulfilled promises: the creation of the Central Pomeranian Voivodeship with its seat in Koszalin. Law and Justice pledged the establishment of the new voivodeship in September 2015, even before the parliamentary elections.

"The topic of the Central Pomeranian Voivodeship is still alive. We are well aware of the wishes, especially of the residents of Koszalin. We are conducting, intensifying social consultations, including in the counties surrounding Koszalin," Prime Minister Morawiecki said at the end of August this year.

- You are a general with experience, and an experienced commander in units that not only operate within our country, here within the borders of the Republic of Poland. You have experience from a Polish combat mission in Afghanistan, and that is extremely important to me - said Andrzej Duda after appointing Maj. Gen. Tomasz Piotrowski as the Operational Commander of the Armed Forces Branches.

Thus, the position was vacated by Lt. Gen. Sławomir Wojciechowski.

- The fact that you are leaving this post is not a resignation. You will now be performing new duties, extremely important for the Republic of Poland, within the combat structures of the North Atlantic Alliance. You will assume command of the Multinational Corps Northeast, headquartered in Szczecin - stated the president.

The event is being broadcast on Facebook.

„[The judges] are doing this [referring a preliminary question to the CJEU] solely to create the impression that we have some state of legal instability in Poland. Judge Tuleja is behaving, unfortunately, not like a judge, but like a politician. He is currently a politician, not a judge, a politician of the total opposition. That is the role he is playing. Similarly, the Supreme Court judges who tried to suspend laws. Completely outside the constitution. Those who say they are defending the constitution are breaking that constitution. Today, Law and Justice is defending the legal order in Poland, which truly wants to ensure that the law is applied” - stated Minister Jacek Sasin on TVP Info.

“There could be a six-pack, a ten-pack, a fifty-pack, and nothing will come of it because Civic Platform is a party that doesn't keep its election promises. It has shown this many times. They can promise anything, because they will realize nothing. Warsaw is a good example” – said Minister Jacek Sasin on TVP Info about tomorrow's Civic Coalition convention.

- We had a meeting yesterday, a dinner, a rather long, very cordial, and very fruitful conversation. A long, good, strategic talk. It wasn't just a courtesy meeting, but we've already managed to exchange views with the Ambassador, our perspectives on many matters, including the presence of American troops in Poland, the presence of American business in Poland, the presence of Polish business in the United States, on American and European policy, and on Nord Stream 2 - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a meeting with PiS candidates in the local government elections.

- What is the Ambassador's view on Nord Stream 2? – the Prime Minister was asked.

- A very clear, critical view towards the construction of Nord Stream 2, because it's known that this gas pipeline largely marginalizes Ukraine – the Prime Minister stated.
