„I wanted to tell Warsaw residents that the most important transportation backbone in our city, the metro, is being built too slowly. The capitals of Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, and Hungary have more kilometers of metro than us, and it has come to the point where even the capital of Bulgaria is building the metro three times faster during Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz's government than we are in Warsaw. This must change. In Sofia, 12 stations are already planned for opening, with another 9 planned. In Warsaw, not even a project for the 3rd metro line has been created in 12 years. This is a huge scandal, which is why I no longer want to hear that it's impossible. If I become the mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, we will commence the construction of the 3rd and 4th metro lines immediately and prove to everyone that it is possible. Just like they said 500+ was impossible, and we kept our word, so we will keep our word regarding the construction of the metro. We already have support from government funds. We have such assurances if the need arises” – said Patryk Jaki, a candidate for the mayor of Warsaw from Zjednoczona Prawica (United Right), at a morning press conference.
„We are launching the #NoweMetro campaign and we will show Warsaw residents in places where a new metro line is to be built or where the metro already exists, that the metro can be expanded, that it should be the fundamental backbone of our city's transportation” – he added.
„We are showing that it is simply possible. We are hardworking, we will meet with Warsaw residents every day at 7 AM and 4 PM, when the most people are on the streets. We will promote the construction of the 3rd and 4th metro lines – lines whose need for construction Rafał Trzaskowski did not see. He didn't see it, he didn't see it, until he saw it and believed it and now wants to build even the 5th metro line, which is completely unbelievable” – said Piotr Guział.

Zawistowski:
Gersdorf Remains First President of the Supreme Court Under the Constitution. My Position is Not Isolated
- My current position stems from the provisions of the law. This is how it results from the statutory regulations, and this indication meant that I am physically the person who is to deputize for the First President [Gersdorf]. I factually and physically deputize. The structure of the provision is such that in the absence of the First President, the longest-serving president performs these duties. In light of the Constitution, the First President is still the First President [of the Supreme Court]. She actually comes to work, practically every day, and my position is not isolated, because all judges of the Supreme Court, who have been appointed so far, recognize the First President as the First President - stated Dariusz Zawistowski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego", when asked who actually heads the Supreme Court and actually makes decisions that the First President of the Supreme Court must make.
- The First President [Gersdorf] collects her own salary. However, this decision was made several months ago and the situation has not changed - he added.

As long as she can, the President will be at work. I cannot imagine a fight for the First President's office

Neumann:
A Yellow Card for PiS on Governance Style. A Red Card in a Year When They're Kicked Off the Field
- These are elections being contested on two levels. The local government part, where we present our program, candidates for the city, for the district, for the regional assembly, the mayor or the village head presents their program and the matters closest to the people. That's what local government is about - stated Sławomir Neumann on RMF FM. He added:
"The second part is, of course, a kind of plebiscite. These are the first elections after three years that will be an assessment – and we want them to be an assessment – of those in power. We want people to go to the polls. Even those who haven't participated in local government elections so far because they were less interested in who their village head or councilor was. Now we encourage them to go to show – for now, a yellow card, because it won't be a red card yet, the red card will come in a year when they are kicked off the field. It will be a yellow card for PiS for their style of governance, for what they are doing."

Siemoniak:
We cannot behave like PiS and reverse everything again after victory in 2019, which I believe in.
„We do not want to tear the country apart, as PiS does, changing the pension system, the education system. We cannot behave like PiS and reverse everything again after victory in 2019, which I believe in. The state requires continuation, continuity. And here, in the case of the pension system, we need calculated incentives. We are talking about the thirteenth pension, yesterday Grzegorz Schetyna spoke about inherited pensions, about new solutions encouraging people to stay longer on the labor market” - said the Vice-Chairman of PO, Tomasz Siemoniak, on Radio Zet.

Siemoniak:
We've Always Said It. We Stand for the Abortion Compromise. We Don't Want to Build Emotions, Tension, and Politics Around Abortion.
“We have always said, ever since this discussion began, that we stand for the abortion compromise that is currently in effect, and we do not want emotions, tension, or politics to be built around abortion. This is a serious matter; here we have presented various solutions for women concerning perinatal standards and other elements, such as IVF. However, I believe that the abortion compromise, in effect for 25 years, is a value, and the majority of Poles, or nearly half of Poles, still think so” - Tomasz Siemoniak said on Radio Zet.

Siemoniak:
It's evident that lies are being stigmatized by the courts
"We will be scrutinizing every statement made by Prime Minister Morawiecki, but as President Kaczyński said during the weekend at one of PiS conventions, he will speak more cautiously now. It's evident that lies are being stigmatized by the courts" – said the Vice-Chairman of Civic Platform, Tomasz Siemoniak, on Radio Zet.

“In the Sejm, we have an anti-vaccination bill. I wanted to remind you that the PiS candidate for the mayor of Warsaw openly supported anti-vaccine movements in 2017 and intervened with the Minister of Health at the time. Gaps in vaccinations, especially for children, pose a very serious threat and danger to all our children. We know that epidemics are raging in several European countries. This is an extremely important matter” - said Rafał Trzaskowski, KO's candidate for the mayor of Warsaw, at a press conference.
“I want to clearly announce that there is no consent for such projects that aim to eliminate vaccinations, because it is a huge threat. We want to go in the opposite direction, we want to expand the flu vaccination program. Currently, this program covers seniors. We want to expand it to all children in Warsaw. We want to fund the HPV vaccination program for girls and boys. We also want to fund vaccinations for toddlers” - he added.

Poręba Thanks PO for Recognizing PiS's Governance:
Poland Has a Future.
- I never thought I would stand before you here and thank Civic Platform for something. Well, I am standing before you and I thank Civic Platform for recognizing our governance. For the fact that Platforma has just published a billboard where its main slogan, its message, is "Poland Has a Future." Yes, Poland has a future. Under PiS rule, Poland is developing, it is among developed countries, unemployment is at its lowest, there is rapid economic growth, and VAT has been sealed. All of this contributes to Poland's development and is precisely what is focused on in this Platforma slogan – stated Tomasz Poręba at a press conference.

PMM:
Poland Financed Our Excellent Doctors for Western Countries
- In the field where the Medical University in Lublin educates so wonderfully, we have experienced quite a lot of turbulence and changes recently. In the last 20-25 years, it is estimated that 25-30 thousand doctors have left, mostly permanently, for abroad. Let's look at this from an economic perspective. Education costs from 0.5 million to a million [złoty], depending on the specialization and duration of training. This is the cost. So, approximately 20-30 billion [złoty] is the cost of educating the doctors who have left. Therefore, Poland, which is still developing, and perhaps 25 years ago one could say poor Poland, just emerging from the PRL era, poor Poland financed excellent doctors for the wealthy Western countries, who are known for this - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the inauguration of the 2018/2019 academic year at the Medical University in Lublin.

We've Decided to Allocate Billions More Zloty to Science and Healthcare
- We've made a difficult decision, during a time when the budget blanket is always a bit too short, to truly allocate, to make an additional effort and to dedicate many billions of zloty more to science on one hand, and on the other, to healthcare - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the inauguration of the 2018/2019 academic year at the Medical University in Lublin.

“Over the past many months, I have learned one thing: wherever seniors meet, you need to be there immediately. First and foremost, to recharge with good energy. Only with you can I charge my batteries so fantastically, because everywhere I have appeared, I see smiling, positive faces. That is why I seek you out on the streets of Warsaw to meet people who are entirely built of positive energy. I am very happy about this” - said Rafał Trzaskowski from PO during the Civic Parliament of Seniors.
“Essentially, two topics appear all the time. One is education, the other is senior policy. Everyone talks about it, about how to ensure that every city has the most active senior policy possible, because it concerns us all” - he added.
14:54
Wojciechowicz:
If Schetyna says he doesn't share more liberal views, what's the guarantee Trzaskowski could implement them in Warsaw?
„We, in our proposals, strongly advocate for women's rights, for those projects that in no way infringe upon women's freedom to decide about their pregnancy, about whether to give birth to a child or not. We would like there to be no situations like those recently, where Grzegorz Schetyna, who on the one hand is expanding the coalition to include Inicjatywa Polska, simultaneously states that he in no way shares these more liberal views and that these more liberal views will certainly not be implemented by Civic Platform. One should then ask, what is the guarantee that the Civic Platform candidate - Rafał Trzaskowski - who speaks of liberal women's rights and IVF, could indeed, as the mayor of Warsaw, implement such postulates, given that the party leadership is doing and saying something completely opposite in interviews. It seems that in this regard, Civic Platform's credibility is rather mediocre” - stated Jacek Wojciechowicz, a candidate for the mayor of Warsaw, at a press conference.

Kaleta:
PO Pulled the Rug Out from Under Candidate Debates for Warsaw Mayor
A dispute has erupted over candidate debates for the Warsaw mayoral election. According to Stanisław Kaleta, a politician associated with the Law and Justice party, Civic Platform (PO) has sabotaged the planned discussions.
Kaleta, whose tweet is the primary source of this information, claims that PO has effectively overturned the table regarding the debates. The specific reasons for this action, or the exact nature of the proposed debates, are not detailed in the provided snippet. However, the accusation suggests a deliberate obstruction by PO, preventing a transparent and open discussion among candidates vying for the position of Warsaw's mayor.
The situation implies a potentially contentious electoral landscape in the capital, where strategic maneuvering might be taking precedence over substantive debate. Further details regarding the specific proposals for the debates and the reasons behind PO's alleged withdrawal or disruption would be necessary to fully understand the implications of this development.
17:12
Kukiz:
PiS will withdraw from the attempt to remove Gersdorf from the Supreme Court President position
- Professor Małgorzata Gersdorf, about whom I do not have a good opinion, should nevertheless remain the First President of the Supreme Court, in accordance with the constitutional provisions. A lower-ranking act cannot abolish a constitutional provision. The term of office of the First President of the Supreme Court should in any case be six years. One cannot build a state of law and justice on their violation - stated Paweł Kukiz in an interview with Jacek Nizinkiewicz from "Rzeczpospolita".
- PiS will withdraw from the attempt to remove Gersdorf from the position of First President of the Supreme Court, just as they withdrew from the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance. And they will not do it out of love for the law and Poland, but out of fear of the reaction of international allies. If PiS continues to wade into the sin of pride, it will end up like PO (Civic Platform) - he added.

Patryk Jaki met with the President of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW). The meeting concerned the future of the capital market in Poland.

I am convinced that a strong capital market is a key element for the development of the Polish economy," Jaki wrote on Twitter. He also published a photograph from the meeting.

After ZUS Withdraws Its Doubts, the Case Should Be Dismissed
- And now, it is worth noting simultaneously that after ZUS withdrew the doubts that were raised, this case, according to my lawyers, should be dismissed, which the Supreme Court referred to the Court of Justice, as part of a so-called preliminary ruling - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Events and Opinions".

– Today I must honestly say that I believe we are carrying out this [judiciary] reform not only in accordance with the Constitution and the best interests of society, but also in accordance with certain principles that are in force within the EU. We have established institutions that are even more subject to judicial oversight, for example the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), than is the case in other member states – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie".
– I think that, yes, here we are being wronged by Brussels, and that is because Brussels, and in reality also several Western European countries, very important and esteemed ones, do not understand the situation in Poland, which is the situation of a post-communist system – added the Prime Minister.
19:43
PMM:
Over 80% of Society Wants Judicial Reform, and We Will Deliver It
– An increasing number of member states understand why we are undertaking and must undertake this reform. It is extremely important. Over 80% of society wants judicial reform, and we will deliver it – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions).
19:45
PMM:
We Definitely Do Not Intend to Withdraw from Judicial Reform
- We definitely do not intend to withdraw from the judicial reform and we are consistently implementing it, because it is necessary for the efficient functioning of the state - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's "Wydarzenia i opinie".

PMM:
Even the Court, Harsh Towards PiS, Didn't Order Any Apologies
- We are showing that we keep our word. We already had the issue of the Local Government Road Fund on the government's agenda on August 1st. So, with that in mind, I thought I was saying something that was absolutely in line with reality. The court came to a different conclusion. It was Mr. Schetyna who then said, in a rather colloquial way, that we will remember you [the judges] – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions).
- I used the present tense "wydajemy" (we are issuing), and the court ruled that we should have used the future tense "wydamy" (we will issue), because we adopted that act at the Council of Ministers only three days later. But the truth is that we are issuing, as of today, 1 billion 300 million, and this money has already been, so to speak, consumed for local roads, and the fund we created is a fund of 6 billion - he added.
- After all, even the court, which is very harsh towards PiS, did not order any apologies, it only asked for a correction - stated the Prime Minister. As he emphasized, it is Civic Platform that should apologize for building and renovating so few local roads.

"Which Opposition Are We Talking About? TVN or Fakt?"
"Sometimes I ask my colleagues in the election staff: what's the opposition up to? What are they doing? They often tell me: but which opposition? To quote: TVN or Fakt? [My colleagues] say that first and foremost, you always have to look at what 'Fakty' [a popular daily tabloid and TV news program] is doing. Today 'Fakt' attacked Law and Justice, entirely unjustly, by the way, because they thought they'd stumbled upon something, that the anti-emission fee, which comes into effect next year and is intended to make the air cleaner" - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie".
19:59
Szostakowski:
From Our Perspective, the Issue of TVP Producing the Debate is Most Problematic
- In our opinion, they [the talks] were not fully in line with the agreements made during the last staff meeting. From our point of view, the most problematic issue is the production of the debate by TVP. We believe that TVP's involvement in Patryk Jaki's and PiS's campaign so far exceeds acceptable standards, which raises justified concerns that the principle of impartiality towards all candidates will not be maintained in this case either - wrote Jarosław Szostakowski in a statement sent to the media.
- We believe that a debate between the candidates for the Mayor of Warsaw is important for voters. Therefore, we are of the opinion that its conditions must be written down and accepted by the staffs representing all candidates, which is the minimum standard for such undertakings. Agreeing and then writing down all the conditions is crucial for us so that Rafał Trzaskowski can participate in such a debate - added the head of the Warsaw election staff of KWW Koalicja Obywatelska.
20:11
„Which statement? Because he [Kornel Morawiecki] says various things. I am very surprised by such words [from Kornel Morawiecki, that the decision on building Fort Trump in Poland should be made by Americans and Russians], although I thought there were few things that could surprise me when my father presents them. Of course, I disagree. He has the right to his views. He was always very, very independent. He was a very loving father, I remember my childhood very well” - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in Polsat News.
20:18
- I am very satisfied with my ministers. This tugging at our government is really completely unnecessary, and it's such an unnecessary amplification of some rumor. Those who are spreading this are not telling the truth - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions).
20:21
„The opposition has led to these situations occurring, where Polish judges, among whom a small group feels more like politicians, like Judge Tuleya and a few others, are also moving away from judging dangerous criminals by sending inquiries to the CJEU. They're sending inquiries instead of dealing with judging criminals. There's a danger of these cases expiring, dangerous criminals will go free. These will be the consequences of these actions” – said Minister Jacek Sasin on TVN24’s “Fakty po Faktach”.
20:26
- The VAT committee is launching. Meaning, we will start examining what you did back then, dear opposition friends, that the VAT wasn't tightened. Every year, Poles were deprived of 30-40 billion PLN. These are precisely the funds for social purposes, roads, and military security – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie".
- This information has been known in Warsaw for 3-4 years. It's available to all journalists, especially those who would want to check it for a long time… Why have they only now gotten to it? Of course, the timing isn't accidental. These are issues that have been repeatedly milled over in the media. Both those concerning recorded conversations involving me, and others as well. It's clear as day that we've stepped on someone's toes very seriously – he continued.
