„Donald Tusk had a chance to do a lot of good for the European Union. He heads the Council, and during his tenure as president, he could have undertaken various initiatives. From my own experiences, including participating in this body, I can say that Donald Tusk didn't really take on such challenges. He tried to be a rather passive president. He adopted a survival strategy” – said Deputy Prime Minister Beata Szydło on RMF FM. 

"I hope that the entire situation with the tapes will finally be clarified, because it is very dangerous for the state. An attack on the Prime Minister, an attempt to attack the Prime Minister. This is clearly an attempt to change power in Poland. Mateusz Morawiecki has never hidden that, when he was still the president of the bank, he had private, social conversations also in that restaurant. This material has appeared in the media before, so there is nothing new here" - said Deputy Prime Minister Beata Szydło on RMF FM. 

Deputy Speaker Beata Mazurek demanded the resignation of Civic Platform (PO) spokesperson Jan Grabiec on Twitter. This is in response to the case of the Mayor of Legionowo, who presented candidates from his region in a sexist manner.

The video with the remarks made by Mayor Roman Smogorzewski was published yesterday by Deputy Speaker Stanisław Tyszka.

Jan Grabiec announced that Smogorzewski had resigned from his membership in the Civic Platform.

"Local roads mean a better quality of life for the inhabitants of villages, districts, and municipalities, but they also represent an opportunity to attract investors. Driving here, for those several dozen kilometers, I saw how many such roads are still very full of potholes. Although not closed, they are roads that need repairs. Our predecessors spent an average of PLN 650 million annually on local roads. Our Local Roads Fund, which we have already approved by the government and which has become a reality, will disburse funds amounting to PLN 6-6.5 billion, which is 10 times more in the upcoming year, year and a half, than our predecessors. This is possible thanks to a large program to seal the tax system and win battles against VAT mafias, which with their white collars were robbing Poland in broad daylight, and our predecessors looked through their fingers at all that was happening. This is evident from the budget figures."

„I have very deep convictions regarding Europe and Poland's place in Europe. I would even say I have a profound faith, as it stems not only from rational assessments but from deep, positive emotions, that for us Poles, there is no better alternative, if any alternative exists at all, than being part of Europe understood as a political community. This is not about material benefits that can be calculated in euros or zlotys” - said the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, in Krakow. 

"We joined the EU with the conviction that there exists a world of political standards, certain principles, without which there is no Europe in a political sense. I may offend some ears by using the term liberal democracy, but in its essence, this is precisely what we are talking about. However, since the term itself is not particularly appealing in Poland today, let us translate it into a definition of what it is, what this Europe as a norm, this liberal democracy, entails" - said the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, in Krakow.

“We express our deep outrage at what happened at the election convention in Legionowa. It was an election convention of the local committee, headed by the candidate for the president of Legionowo, who currently holds this office, Roman Smogorzewski. During this convention, the presented female candidates were insulted, humiliated, and spoken of in an abusive manner. The spokesperson for PO, Jan Grabiec, participated in this convention and did not react to these sexist, discriminatory, and violent statements. He expressed satisfaction with the course of the convention, and subsequently did not in any way prevent the continuation of this insulting and humiliating of women, nor did he even attempt to rectify the harm done to these ladies. The PO spokesperson endorsed the current president and, as a token of recognition, presented him with a saber, saying: lead us into battle. Therefore, we ask PO: If this situation had not been publicized yesterday, if it had not met with very strong public protests expressed online yesterday, would Mr. Smogorzewski still be able to count on PO’s support? Why has PO not withdrawn this support until now?” – said PiS MP Aneta Czerwińska during a press conference.

“We also believe that Jan Grabiec should not, as he is complicit and co-responsible for this situation, hold the position of PO spokesperson” – she added.

- We want to defend local government, self-governance, local government from PiS, Kaczyński, this team which – especially in recent days, we all see it – has become so preoccupied with plundering Poland, state-owned companies, offices, institutions. That's why we are in local government, we are fighting for local government, we are so very active and we support civic candidates. In order to defend local government from PiS, self-governance. And we will do it, because today this is our most important task – stated Grzegorz Schetyna at the KO convention in Bydgoszcz.

- I would like to announce what my second decision will be, should I become the Mayor of Warsaw. It is very important that Warsaw receives a new impetus, that while respecting what has been accomplished in Warsaw so far, we ensure that Warsaw develops faster in many areas than it currently does. I am strongly convinced that this is possible. Yesterday, I signed my first commitment, which is a form of social contract with the residents of Warsaw. The first commitment concerned that if I become the Mayor of Warsaw, I will immediately commence the construction of the third and fourth metro lines. I have shown you that I have a plan on how to finance it. I have assurances from the government, from the Prime Minister and the Minister of Investment, that these funds will be secured. Therefore, even if someone among you would never consider voting for someone from PiS or United Right, I guarantee that I will implement this project, I will immediately commence the construction of the III and IV metro lines. This was my first commitment – stated Patryk Jaki at the conference.

- Today, my second commitment. In the first weeks of my term, I will not only make the decision to build the III and IV metro lines, but my next decision, within the first week of my term, will be the construction of 50 new nurseries and kindergartens. Warsaw needs new places for our children. Every district in Warsaw lacks places in nurseries, lacks places in kindergartens. This must change – announced the PiS candidate for Mayor of Warsaw.

Trzaskowski Met with Tusk

- We are in Lublin, the capital of the Lublin region. And, as everywhere in Poland, but perhaps especially here, the stakes of these upcoming elections are obvious. Either the old power, old arrangements, old connections, governance which is in essence nothing more than a peculiar vector of various influences. Or good change, governance with a plan, for this land, for Lublin, for Poland. Who personifies this first version, we all know. Who personifies the second - we all know too. It is Sylwester Tułajew - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a convention in Lublin.

- We know that among the various differences between us and the current opposition, even before it became the total opposition, there was a change particularly significant for all those Poles, the vast majority, who live outside a few large metropolises. This is the difference between the polarization-diffusion concept, invented by Mr. Boni, from which they later retreated in various ways, and the concept of sustainable development. I could talk for a long time about this polarization-diffusion concept; it hasn't worked anywhere in the world, but here, in essence, not much needs to be said. We only need to recall Mr. Karpiński's statement from those tapes that are being talked about so much now. Perhaps some of you remember it. I cannot quote it because it contains an offensive word. In any case, it shows complete disregard for the eastern lands – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a convention in Lublin. He added, "we want to pursue this sustainable development policy."

- Of course, we want to win everywhere, but we also know, as realists, that we won't win in every municipality. There are many of these non-partisan committees. There are others too, so some common ground should be sought. It needs to be found. I think it's quite simple to find. It's the ground of patriotism. National and local. For the politicians of the good change, for good Polish politicians, Poland must be the most important place in the world - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the convention in Lublin.

“I will not speak about this with malicious satisfaction, because personally, no, but my colleagues were victims of these illegal recordings, so I will not gloat over my opponents now. Let this be a warning to all those who, on such occasions, with Pharisaical zeal, can brutally attack their opponents, and later, when it turns out that it also affects them, they forget all that happened before” - said Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, in Krakow about the PMM tapes.

“As you know, I have been discreet all along, but as I noticed, the President decided to lift a corner of the veil. So, I will lift another corner. The conversation did not unfold as might be suggested by the speculation. In fact, the President, indeed very concerned, spoke about not everyone wanting him for a second term. And from this, a conversation about his future pension emerged, about which the President spoke without enthusiasm, which is understandable. He is still a young man. Incidentally, he did mention that, unlike his predecessor, he had not rented out his apartment for 10 years, which was meant to emphasize his caution regarding his future” – said European Council President Donald Tusk in Krakow.

„I am deeply moved by this welcome, because even my closest family, my wife, children, and grandchildren in Sopot, do not greet me as warmly as you do today in Krakow. I hope to reach them tonight and I hope they see that some people still like me and that this will be a challenge for them too” - said former Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Krakow.

"We must be together with Europe, and we must be together as Poles in Europe. November 11th and the centenary of independence is precisely the moment when, regardless of what happens in Polish politics on a daily basis, I observe it from morning to evening. Regardless of how far I am from Krakow, Warsaw, or Gdansk, from morning to evening I look at it, and sometimes my heart truly aches," said the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, in Krakow.

- One must be wary of such imposters. Because what happened in Legionowo is characteristic. That the candidate, non-candidate, from Civic Platform, not from Civic Platform, has truly led to immense contempt for women in particular, for people, and simultaneously such arrogance stemming precisely from the fact that power, which has lasted so long – and in Legionowo, power has lasted since 2002, the power of PO and that man – it requires airing out, change. That is why we have implemented this change to two terms. And Lublin also requires change. This change is Sylwester Tułajew - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a convention in Bydgoszcz.

„In connection with the revealed recordings from the convention in Legionowo, containing vulgar, boorish, and sexist statements by the mayor of Legionowo, legitimized by the spokesperson [Grabiec] with his cheerful face, smile, and handshake. I demand from Grzegorz Schetyna to make a decision and dismiss Grabiec from his position as party spokesperson. It is unacceptable for such a person to tolerate such indecent and sexist remarks towards women. It is unacceptable that he smiled, did not react, and allowed the candidate for mayor to continue his statements. The lack of reaction from other women is puzzling: Ms. Lubnauer, Ms. Nowacka. I understand that they are very comfortable in Mr. Grabiec's company, but this in no way corresponds with modernity. This is neither modern, nor decent, nor humane,” said Deputy Marshal of the Sejm and PiS spokesperson, Beata Mazurek, at a press conference in Lublin.

„Today, we can all look at this matter in this way: it is a very brutal attack on the dignity and position of women in Poland. PO, by using the language we heard yesterday, is responsible for this attack on Polish women” – said the head of the PiS campaign staff, Tomasz Poręba, in Lublin.

“We are very pleased with these words [Tusk on the necessity of reconciliation]. Prime Minister Morawiecki appealed for this reconciliation and for unity during the Independence Day celebrations as early as September 1st. We hope that the total opposition will come to their senses, even for a moment, and be willing to celebrate the centenary of independence together, and that at least once they will forget to be the total opposition, to fight us on the streets and abroad” – said the PiS spokesperson, Deputy Marshal Beata Mazurek.

- Great cooperation is needed, because what I am saying is not, as some try to attribute to us, some form of pressure – choose us, and then we will cooperate well. No, this is a reference to reality. Today, many local governments held by Civic Platform are simply participating in a war against the government. This total war. This certainly does not serve cooperation, collaboration – stated PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński in Krosno.

- We don't propose wars. We propose cooperation. We don't propose shouting. Shouting and trumpets, which we heard here. We propose work for Poland, which has brought and is already bringing results in all areas - stated the PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński in Krosno.

- We have excellent results when it comes to tax collection. Thieves furiously attack the Prime Minister because he took from them, and this really needs to be counted in tens and hundreds of billions of zlotys - stated PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński in Krosno.
