Kopacz on Anti-Vaccine Law Vote: What Kind of Person is He, Cynically Exploiting Every Situation to Show a Different Face. Varsovians No Longer Know the Real Jaki

If a politician runs for president of Warsaw, speaking in the voice of anti-vaxxers, they are only thinking about what is good for them, not about children who are not vaccinated because they are seriously ill and cannot be vaccinated. It is not the safety of our vaccinated children that is at risk, but that of those who are seriously ill, including with cancer, and have lowered immunity” - said former Prime Minister and former Minister of Health, Ewa Kopacz, on Poranek Radia TOK FM.

[Jaki] tried to change this by voting for the bill not to go to committee. I don't know if he has learned. He is a person who will cynically exploit every situation to show a completely different face. Varsovians no longer know the real Jaki. He says something completely different every day. He tries to change his stance on various difficult topics” - she added.

Our MPs Must Be More Active on Social Media. They Need to Strongly Promote Our Campaign Message
He mobilized, he strongly encouraged further strong work in the campaign. [Mobilization is needed] all the time. I keep telling my colleagues, and I said it yesterday too, that it's not like we've already won these elections, we have good polls. These elections are still very open. These are very difficult elections, and we need to put in a lot of effort, also when it comes to the social media dimension, where our MPs must be significantly more active, they must strongly, very strongly promote our campaign message - stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

A Concrete Signal from Kaczyński Yesterday. It's Time to Double Down on This Campaign

- Indeed, this meeting yesterday [the PiS club's session] was very important to me personally, because a very concrete signal came from Chairman Kaczyński. That, my friends, it's time to really buckle down for the last two weeks of this campaign - stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

Dworczyk on PMM Tapes: This Tactic Has No Chance of Success Because It Was the PO's Affair

- The matter is such a quintessence or, let's say, illustrates the standard of the Civic Platform's functioning in a nutshell. Attaching this to Prime Minister Morawiecki, in my opinion, this tactic has no chance of success because it was precisely the Civic Platform's affair, that it was Civic Platform MPs and politicians who were pursuing private business there. It was there that the then-minister, Nowak, tried to arrange for his wife's company not to be audited – said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on the "Political Salon" program on Polish Radio Trójka.


08:40

Poręba on Tapes: Materials That Bring Nothing New

- I am looking at this matter from the perspective of a campaign manager. For me, however, the publication of materials that were already known before, firstly, and secondly, three weeks before the election campaign, before the final of the election campaign, materials that do not actually bring anything new. I am looking at it from the perspective of a campaign manager. At the moment, when in these materials Mateusz Morawiecki, one can say anything, but not that he can be accused of anything. I think he was the first to predict the migration crisis in 2013 - stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

Poręba:

I Feel Our Opponent in This Campaign Isn't PO, but Rather Media Strongly Opposed to the Government
I have a feeling in this election campaign that our opponent isn't Platforma, and this might sound strange, but our opponent is rather media that are very strongly opposed to the government – stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- On one side we have Platforma, which in reality doesn't exist in this campaign. On the other hand, the baton in this campaign, the narrative in this campaign, has been taken over by media very unfavorable to us – added the head of the PiS campaign staff.

Dworczyk on Warsaw Campaign: I'm Not Sure, Looking at the Actions of Some PO Politicians, that They Will Definitely Want to Cooperate with the Government

Regarding the declarations of metro construction, both Mr. Trzaskowski and Mrs. Mayor Gronkiewicz-Waltz have said various things, from which little has resulted later. As we know, today we have two metro lines, and of the length that we have. Firstly, this is much less credible. Also, I am not at all sure, looking at the actions of some Civic Platform politicians or former Civic Platform politicians, like Mayor Adamowicz, that they will definitely want to cooperate with the government – said Michał Dworczyk in a conversation with Beata Michniewicz in the "Political Salon" on Radio Trójka.

Yesterday, a very important matter regarding a VAT memo. One television channel, whose logo claims 'the whole truth, all day long,' is unable to report the facts about it.

- I will give you an example. Yesterday, a very important matter, VAT. One newspaper says that during the Civic Platform's (Platforma Obywatelska) term, a memo appeared stating that they did not do much to seal the VAT system. And one television channel, which has 'the whole truth, all day long' in its logo, for instance, is unable to report the facts about it – stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

Poręba:

Prime Minister Morawiecki is a very good leader. He is active and effective, managing the country's affairs well. This is the main reason for the attacks.

- Mateusz Morawiecki is a very good Prime Minister. Secondly, he had the courage to declare war on VAT mafias. Thirdly, he is the face of the PiS campaign. Fourthly, he is very active and effective and truly manages the country's affairs very well. This is the main reason for the attacks - stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

The TVP Interview with Kaczyński Was Planned in Advance. It Was Obvious That Questions About the Tapes Had to Be Asked

- The interview on TVP [with Jarosław Kaczyński] was planned with some advance notice. It was arranged much earlier. It was obvious that questions regarding those tapes had to be asked yesterday, during the interview - stated Tomasz Poręba in a conversation with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.


09:09

Poręba on Tapes: 'This is an Attempt at Revenge, Attacking Morawiecki for Fighting Thieves in Poland'

- It is thanks to Mateusz Morawiecki that significant funds were retained in the budget, and above all, this is very important. He declared war on VAT mafias in Poland, VAT carousels, simply on mafiosi - stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- This is a certain attempt at revenge, an attack on Mateusz Morawiecki, because he is fighting thieves in Poland - he continued. - I don't feel any damage to my image. There is no evidence for what the media are saying, there are no tapes. There is no justification to attack Mateusz Morawiecki in this way - stated the head of PiS's campaign staff.

Szumowski:

I Visited 'Sowa and Friends' Once

- It happened that I visited 'Sowa and Friends' once. Maybe someone recorded me too - stated Łukasz Szumowski in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News's "Polityczne Graffiti". - [What we can expect] is a large dose of jokes and quips, perhaps not always clean - he continued.

When asked if he knew vulgar words like Prime Minister Morawiecki, he replied: - I am a surgeon, so I have happened to use vulgar words. I apologize if they appear, but always in a non-aggressive context.

Kidawa-Błońska on PMM's Tapes: I Recall How Civic Platform Politicians Were Judged for Their Words. The Prime Minister's Words Are Even More Reprehensible

I recall how Civic Platform politicians were judged for their words. The Prime Minister's words are even more reprehensible. I'm bypassing the language because I'm not here to judge how men talk after drinking. Surely they wouldn't say such things when sober. I hope the Prime Minister doesn't speak like this every day. When we hear about 'getting things done' [referring to securing jobs]. I know these are recordings, but it shows that the Prime Minister, when he then takes the podium and says what he says, is even less credible. Everyone is judged very well, but one must start with oneself” - stated the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, on Radio Plus in a conversation with Jacek Prusinowski.


11:02

Kidawa-Błońska:

We Are Not Taking Away 500+, Let's Be Clear, Because No Political Party or Group Would Take This Benefit Away from Polish Families. However, We Want This Benefit to Be Fair.
"We are not taking away 500+, let's be clear, because there is no politician from any party or group who would take this benefit away from Polish families. However, we want this benefit to be fair. We don't want it to be the case that a woman raising a child alone in very difficult circumstances doesn't receive this 500+, while families in much better financial situations receive an additional 500+. We will certainly want to level the playing field here," said the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, on Radio Plus in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski.

"500+ was not created as a social program, but a demographic one. We would like it to remain such a program, to genuinely encourage families who are active and working to have children. We certainly want to propose a solution that would genuinely help families who need it, but not be a reason why parents don't work," she added.

Czarzasty in SLD Lewica Razem's New Spot:

Imagine Politicians Who Don't Pry into Your Bedroom, Don't Rewrite History or Change the Name of Your Street

Imagine that things are normal again, that you decide what's good for you, and you look to the future without fear. Imagine not worrying about a nursery, kindergarten for your child, or housing for your family, that no one offends you, tells you what to think or do. Imagine politicians who don't pry into your bedroom, don't rewrite history or change the name of the street you live on. Instead, they care about the air you breathe. Imagine having access to a doctor, that someone takes care of you whenever you need it. Imagine living your second youth in retirement. Impossible? Nonsense” - says the head of the Alliance, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, in the new spot for the SLD Lewica Razem coalition.

New Campaign by Akcja Warszawa: Staffers Hand Out Mandarins

Starting today, the staff and volunteers of Jacek Wojciechowicz's Akcja Warszawa will be distributing mandarins to passersby, in addition to leaflets.

- The mandarin is associated with a healthy lifestyle, vitamins, but most importantly, it represents the 'club colours' of Akcja Warszawa, which is the colour orange. We chose the mandarin because it can be easily peeled and eaten even on the way to work - said Grzegorz Gruchalski, head of Jacek Wojciechowicz's Akcja Warszawa campaign.

Today, independent candidate for the Mayor of Warsaw, Jacek Wojciechowicz, also handed out mandarins at the Warsaw 'frying pan' (a popular city square).

In my opinion, Chairman Horała and the Law and Justice (PiS) majority are simply scared of Jacek Rostowski's hearing before the local government elections, and that's why the hearing was postponed. I am submitting a motion today to the commission's chairman for this hearing to take place on the originally planned date, October 12th - stated Zbigniew Konwiński during a briefing in the Sejm.

Patryk Jaki Signs Commitment: First Decision Will Be to Commence Construction of the Third and Fourth Metro Lines

- Today, the first decision I will make as the Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw. This first decision will be to commence the construction of the third and fourth metro lines. Lines so desperately needed by our city. Metro lines that will change the situation on Warsaw's streets, the traffic jams. I am convinced that the situation regarding transportation will immediately improve. Everywhere metro stations appear, these areas experience economic flourishing. This is a natural tendency – said Patryk Jaki at a press conference.

- I, the undersigned, hereby commit that my first decision after taking office as the Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw will be to commence the construction of the third and fourth metro lines – reads the commitment signed by Patryk Jaki.

Schetyna on PMM Tape: A Revelation of a Hypocrite Ready for Corrupt Proposals, Who is with Tusk One Day and Kaczyński the Next. Time for Resignation.

The leader of Civic Platform (PO), Grzegorz Schetyna, commented on the published tape recordings by Piotr Mariański (PMM). According to Schetyna, the recordings are a "demaskowanie" (unmasking/exposure) of a "hypokryta, który raz jest z Tuskiem, a raz z Kaczyńskim" (hypocrite, who is with Tusk one day and with Kaczyński the next). The PO leader emphasized that "czas na dymisję" (it's time for resignation).

The statement was made in reference to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where the PO leader's official account published a post with a link to a tweet from @SchetynadlaPO. The tweet itself contains the aforementioned quote and a link to the original source material, likely an article or video discussing the PMM tape recordings.

The publication of these tape recordings has caused significant political stir in Poland, with various parties and politicians reacting to their content. The nature of the alleged corruption or controversial statements within the PMM tape is not detailed in this specific text snippet, but Schetyna's strong reaction suggests it involves serious accusations that could impact the political landscape.

988 Polish Post Offices Were Liquidated Under the PO-PSL Government

- There is another very characteristic figure, a number, when it comes to the achievements of Civic Platform and the Polish People's Party. It's the continued liquidation of branches, this time postal ones. 988 post office branches of Polish Post were closed during the PO government. In small, rural centers, where people needed these places to stay connected with the world, to be able to submit various types of documents, and collect them. In these locations, nearly 1,000 offices were liquidated under the PO and PSL governments - stated Tomasz Poręba at a conference.

Immediately After the First Round of Elections, the Sejm to Adopt the Draft on the Local Roads Fund

Next Tuesday, October 9th, two parliamentary committees will convene to consider the government's draft bill on the Local Roads Fund – this is one of Prime Minister Morawiecki's flagship announcements. The second reading – according to the preliminary schedule seen by 300POLITYKA – is to take place at the next Sejm session, on October 23rd at 12:30 PM. In practice, this means that the government's proposal will most likely be adopted immediately after the first round of local government elections. The vote could occur the following day, October 24th, during the morning voting block.

PO MEP on Poręba's Conference Regarding Post Office Closures: And Quite Rightly So! In the Near Future, Drones Will Deliver Mail

The former Minister of Digital Affairs, Polish Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from the Civic Platform (PO) party, Danuta Jazłowiecka, commented on the conference organized by Tomasz Poręba (PiS MEP) regarding the liquidation of post office branches.

“And quite rightly so! The consolidation of post offices is a necessary step. In the near future, drones will deliver mail,” Jazłowiecka wrote on Twitter.

Tomasz Poręba, who heads the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Security and Defence, organized a conference on October 5th, 2018, entitled “The future of the Polish Post in the face of challenges and threats to Polish security.” The meeting, held at the European Parliament, was attended by representatives of the Polish Post, the Ministry of State Assets, and members of the Polish diaspora.

During the conference, Poręba highlighted the importance of the Polish Post for the country's security and the challenges it faces, including the ongoing liquidation of its branches. He also spoke about the need to protect the Polish Post from foreign capital and to ensure its continued development as a strategic company for Poland.

The liquidation of post office branches is a controversial issue in Poland. While the Polish Post argues that it is necessary to modernize the network and improve efficiency, many communities worry about the loss of essential services.

Danuta Jazłowiecka's statement suggests a different perspective, one that embraces technological advancements and sees the closure of traditional post offices as an inevitable consequence of progress. Her reference to drones delivering mail points to a future where postal services are transformed by automation and innovative delivery methods.

Over 20 of Jaki's billboards located on government institution grounds. We are filing a notification with the prosecutor's office and the National Electoral Commission
On the premises of the Government Administration Service Center, there are over 20 billboards of one of the presidential candidates in Warsaw, Patryk Jaki. I remind you that Patryk Jaki is a member of this government. We have never seen anything like it before. We ourselves were members of the government. No one ever came up with the idea of storing campaign materials in government institutions. Especially since it is against the law - stated Cezary Tomczyk at a briefing. PO politicians announced they would report this matter to the prosecutor's office and the National Electoral Commission.

COAR Responds to PO Allegations: "Due to the misuse of allocated parking spaces contrary to the agreement, the contract has been terminated."

A., based in Toruń, for the allocation of parking spaces located at the COAR headquarters at ul. Powsińska 69/71 in Warsaw for the temporary parking of passenger car trailers - informed the director of COAR in a statement.

"Due to the misuse of the allocated parking spaces contrary to the provisions of the agreement, the Centre for Government Administration Services has today terminated the aforementioned contract and has obliged Sup Ultimate S. A. to remove the subject of the contract from the COAR premises.

The Centre for Government Administration Services declares that the conclusion of the agreement took place on commercial terms and in accordance with applicable regulations."

PM Morawiecki: Tapes Published by "Newsweek" 2.5 Years Ago Are Now Being Rehashed
I hope the ruling camp [wins], although everything is in the hands of Poles. I would like Poles to know that we are fighting VAT mafias, thieves, and this fight allows us to offer society what we have today. I will answer a bit differently, because I was surprised myself. Someone showed me that all these tapes were shown in "Newsweek" 2.5 years ago. It was probably page 15 or 17, somewhere far back. Not many people were interested. Suddenly, the same German-Swiss publishing group is re-heating these tapes and showing them. Half-jokingly, I can say that it's probably because on these tapes, as I had to recall, I attacked the greed of German, Swiss financial circles - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in wPolsce.pl.

16:00

Morawiecki:

I envy anyone who could reveal every word and sentence from a long conversation in such social circumstances
Some things that I said, of course, especially some curses, I would have preferred not to have said, and some of them embarrass me. But I must also say this: if there is someone who, in such social circumstances, having a long conversation, could always reveal it, every word and every sentence, then I envy them – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on wPolsce.pl.

Polish PM: We Want Polish Employees to Earn as Much as Possible, to be Respected by Employers

- We are actually doing the exact opposite. We are pleased that Polish salaries are growing the fastest in many, many years. Moreover, the real increase in these salaries is noticeable. Additionally, through our social policy, we try to help those who do not have a sufficient salary. For seniors, those aged 75+, we will also implement a nominal pension revaluation in solid March of next year. This will also be a clear boost for these people. As for employees, as I said in the USA, we want Polish employees to earn as much as possible, to be respected by employers. So that there are funds for their training and qualification development. Then the employer will respect the employee, and the employee will be more satisfied - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in wPolsce.pl.

PM on Czarnecki's Son's Employment: During PO and PSL Rule, Many PiS Members Faced Difficulties. No One Wanted to Help. I Tried to Help.
- Regarding the employment of Ryszard Czarnecki's son, yes, many people from PiS during the rule of PO and PSL faced difficulties, they were surrounded by a kind of ostracism. No one wanted to help them. I tried to help where I could, and this is one such case - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in wPolsce.pl. - He also worked where I helped him to work for some time. I managed to help someone. I am happy about it. I am not ashamed of it - he continued. As the head of the Polish government added, nowadays on the market people often ask: listen, do you have a better job somewhere, or if you hear of anything, please let me know, and these are normal dialogues between Poles.

PM on entering a PO government: There was one very specific proposal, but I didn't accept it

- The matter died that evening when it appeared, so we can end there. And in reality, as is known, affluent companies very often commission various types of research and analyses from various foundations and associations. This certainly happens at your place and in many foundations. That thread concerned that, but it also had no further continuation. It was an attempt to push the problem away. There was also, I believe, an attempt, if I recall this thread correctly, to have the gentleman, the former Minister of the Treasury, appointed somewhere, on some council, but he didn't show up or appear anywhere, which, by the way, can be very easily verified – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in wPolsce.pl.

- There was one very specific proposal [to join the PO government], but I didn't accept it. There might have been more of various other proposals, but there was one very specific one, and I didn't accept it – added the head of the Polish government.

Morawiecki on the Power of Mainstream Media: It Only Suggests to Me That Patriotic, Independence-Oriented Media Should Grow Stronger. Because of How They Can Manipulate Reality

- Please see the power of mainstream media. It only suggests to me that patriotic, independence-oriented media should truly grow stronger. Because of how they can manipulate reality. Something that has already seen the light of day, was turned inside out on several pages, I don't remember exactly, everything was described and suddenly the same German-Swiss group is now bringing it out, but with tremendous firepower, one passes the ball to the other, here a portal, to a newspaper, then they help each other out, they succeed, of course, in sparking some discussion, but as I said, apart from the fact that it was a private conversation, I was a private person, it was almost 5 years before I became prime minister, so I can say that from many of these threads that are there, they indeed look like I perceived very significant risks - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Jacek Karnowski on wPolsce.pl.


16:31

PMM:

"I Cooperate Brilliantly with Mariusz Kamiński"
I must state this clearly. All these successes in the fight against mafias are also huge successes of Minister Mariusz Kamiński, with whom I cooperate brilliantly, and I don't know how many more times I would have to confirm this, to thank the minister and his colleagues again. What our services are doing, becoming increasingly professional, efficient, and limiting the criminal world, is something very, very beneficial and positive for Poland. I can say: yes, perhaps someone is trying to play on some divisions here, but it will not succeed, because we are cohesive and strong in order to continue changing Poland – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in wPolsce.pl.

16:34

Morawiecki:

I Will Not Deviate from the Path of Rebuilding Poland

- I will not deviate from the path of rebuilding the Republic of Poland, which I have the immense honor of undertaking under the rule of PiS, within this political camp, our camp. This was a blessing for Poland, what happened in 2015. Of course, we owe this to President Jarosław Kaczyński and his resilience, his ability to create an electoral program, and to his brother, and of course, to the entire PiS. This is a great opportunity for Poland - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with wPolsce.pl.


16:35

PMM:

We Are the Most Democratic Party

- We are the most democratic party, so it's no wonder they are attacking us. Attacking us means they are afraid, that we have hit the right spot, and attacking us means they are perhaps also weakening, because they see that we have a chance to win over a large part of society - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stated on wPolsce.pl.


17:59

Petru on PMM Tapes: Listening to Them with Disgust, I Understood Why Zbigniew Ziobro Didn't Face the State Tribunal

From these tapes, it appears that this was some kind of oligarchic arrangement, the one made by Jarosław Kaczyński, because people from Civic Platform and Mr. Morawiecki tried to secure jobs for individuals from PO and at the same time for Mr. Czarnecki's son. [He held] with both groups” - said Ryszard Petru in the "Political Interview" on TOK FM.

When I listened to this, with a certain disgust, I thought to myself that I understand why Zbigniew Ziobro did not stand before the State Tribunal. This is my sad conclusion. He didn't stand because 5 votes from PO were missing, and for some reasons, they were missing” - he added.

The Alternative is Law and Justice

- We have formulated a hypothesis here that it's time for change, that it's a good time for change. Is there an alternative to this? Could someone today replace those who govern the city and the voivodeship? Well, there is an alternative. That alternative is Law and Justice - said Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS election meeting in Białystok.


18:56

PJK on Judicial Reforms: 'This Reform Exists and We Will Defend It'
'There is the reform of the prosecution service, which we announced. The return of the prosecution service to governance in accordance with the constitution, so that someone is accountable for the prosecution service's activities. There is the reform of the courts. With what difficulties, how they fight against us here, and yet this also concerns the safety of residents, and not only in terms of physical security, but also in terms of economic security, the security of transactions. Courts serve all of this, and they have served it very poorly until now. This reform exists, and we will defend it' - said Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS election meeting in Białystok.

19:00

PJK:

We Are Credible Because We Have Money
- We are implementing a huge program. Now there's a question. Why can we implement this program? Why aren't these just stories? Why are we credible? Because we have money. And where do we get the money from? Well, precisely from VAT and from those other taxes that are collected better today, whereas before they ended up in the pockets of fraudsters - said Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS election rally in Białystok.

19:05

PJK:

Why is the Prime Minister Attacked? Because He Had the Courage to Serve Poland

- Now, if someone who thinks logically asks themselves. Why is the Prime Minister so violently attacked recently? Why are some very, very old, already badly smelling cutlets being brought out? Which, by the way, contain nothing, they cannot be eaten. Why? Because he struck at those interests. Because he had the courage, of course with others, but he had the courage to do it. He had the courage to serve Poland, on the most important matter at the moment. Without this money, we would not have moved forward - said Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS election meeting in Białystok.


19:09

PJK:

Let's Go on the Offensive. Let's Seize Victory

- I am addressing everyone here. To the parliamentarians, to the councilors, but to all activists, including those who do not currently hold such a position. Let's go on the offensive now. Let's seize victory. We must win for Białystok, for this Podlasian and Masovian land. We must win for Poland. And we will win - said Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS election rally in Białystok.

We Analyzed Tax Revenues in August and September, and I Know That in the Second Half of the Year, VAT Alone Will Bring in 5 Billion Zlotys More

“I have good news for 38 million Poles today. We have analyzed tax revenues in August and September, and I know that in the second half of the year, VAT alone will bring in 5 billion zlotys more,” Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in Białystok.

“There is no such mechanism, no such possibilities for this to happen naturally. This means an above-plan increase due to certain tools and mechanisms that we have implemented,” he added. 


19:35

Morawiecki:

No Success Without 'Good Change'; This Change Must Be for the Better and Extend to Local Governments

"There would be no successes if not for the good change. This good change must be for the better. For it to be for the better, it must also happen in local governments," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the Law and Justice (PiS) convention in Białystok.

"I want to tell the opposition and various people who try to scare us. You can sue us, insult us, you can even curse us, but we will not be blackmailed, we will not be intimidated by anyone, because we know that we are on the right path, a difficult path to repair the Republic for the good of all citizens. And we will not deviate from this path," he added.

Bugaj on Mateusz Morawiecki: The Tapes Suggest He's a Bit of a Fox in Sheep's Clothing

I believe the matter is serious. Potentially serious. I don't think it will shatter support for PiS, but I think it will contribute to some erosion of that support. Mr. Mateusz Morawiecki was appointed to the position of Prime Minister by Jarosław Kaczyński, with the idea that here we have a distinguished nationalist with a good past, well-educated, cultured, etc. From these tapes, regardless of how widely they circulate, it emerges that he is a bit of a liberal fox in sheep's clothing, who uses vulgar language in his statements – Ryszard Bugaj said in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

Dorn on PiS's Rhetoric Regarding the PMM Tapes: You Can't Blame Hans Kloss for Dealing with Gestapo if He Worked for the Right Side

- Most discussions focus on whether he swears or not, whether he's a dyed-in-the-wool trickster, or perhaps our man in the Abwehr. Well, you can't blame Hans Kloss for dealing with the Gestapo if he worked for the right side. That's how Jarosław presents him. It's within the framework of: our man in the Abwehr. He donned camouflage to better work against the enemy - said Ludwik Dorn in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's 'Fakty po faktach'.

PSL to Unveil First Ad Defining Rift with PiS on Saturday; Kosiniak-Kamysz to Present Proposal Dominating Politics for Days
The Polish People's Party (PSL) is set to present a new advertisement on Saturday that defines its dispute with the Law and Justice (PiS) party, and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz is expected to deliver a proposal at the Łódź convention that will keep politics alive for the next few days - 300POLITYKA has learned. Ludowcy (members of the PSL), with whom we spoke, anticipate that Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz will be at the forefront of the PSL's campaign. PSL politicians tell us about in-depth qualitative research where statements such as: "If Kosiniak were leading Civic Platform, they would defeat PiS" were made. They also point out that Kosiniak performs better than other opposition leaders, even in publicly available polls, and can carry the PSL more effectively. According to analyses by PSL campaign strategists, the return of the discussion about the 'tapes' (recordings of private conversations) is intended to hit both PiS and Civic Platform equally, as it recalls loud statements made by Civic Platform politicians in restaurants. Our interlocutors believe the PSL wants to leverage this background.

-- 300POLITYKA LIVEBLOG:

Dorn on PiS rhetoric regarding the PMM tapes: You can't criticize Hans Kloss for having relations with Gestapo officers if he was working for the righteous side.

PMM: There would be no successes without the good change. This good change must be for the good. For it to be for the good, it must also occur in local governments.

PMM: We analyzed tax revenues in August and September, and I know that in the second half of the year, we will have PLN 5 billion more from VAT alone.

PJK: Let's go on the offensive. Let's seize victory.

PJK: Why is the Prime Minister being attacked? Because he had the courage to serve Poland.

PJK on changes in the judiciary: This reform exists, and we will defend it.

Petru on the PMM tapes: As I listened to it, with a certain disgust, I thought that I understood why Zbigniew Ziobro did not stand before the State Tribunal.

PMM on joining the PO government: There was one very specific offer, but I did not accept it.

PMM, when asked about the employment of Czarnecki's son: During the rule of PO and PSL, many people from PiS had problems. No one wanted to help them. I tried to help.

PMM: These tapes were shown in "Newsweek" 2.5 years ago. Suddenly, the same German-Swiss publishing group is reheating and showing them.
