- We are at an age where we know not to believe everything that is printed. Of course, this is nonsense. It does not refer to any politicians, only to some activists of Nowoczesna. Unfortunately, internal party struggles, whether from the outside or within, are something normal - Katarzyna Lubnauer said in an interview with Piotr Gociek and Daniel Wydrych on "Sygnały Dnia" on Polish Radio Channel One.

- The regional assembly elections will be very important, they will decide how we observe the political scene. The regional assembly elections will be a plebiscite. A plebiscite between Civic Coalition and Law and Justice. Therefore, I think they are stirring up a bit more emotion than usual – said Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Piotr Gociek and Daniel Wydrych on "Sygnały Dnia" on Polskie Radio Program I.

- I think any Polish prime minister would have time for Robert Kubica. Kubica happened to be in Poland at that time because he often stays abroad. Robert Kubica was invited by Prime Minister Morawiecki to the Chancellery of the Prime Minister to talk with this great Polish athlete. I believe the matter between the gentlemen is settled - stated Ryszard Czarnecki in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". He added that Lotos had already decided to sponsor Robert Kubica last year.

- Of course, there are no coincidences, and naturally, they met at a specific historical moment, but the effect is excellent. It's good for Poland that a Polish driver will have the opportunity to race in Formula 1. Thanks to Prime Minister Morawiecki - added the PiS MEP.

- Prime Minister Morawiecki – I am convinced – will remain Prime Minister after these elections. I think the result will be good and that his position will continue to be strong – stated Ryszard Czarnecki in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

The Law and Justice (PiS) party leader, Jarosław Kaczyński, will be a guest of Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News's "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions) today at 7:15 PM.

- I do not consider it inappropriate that Przemek, for 3 months, did not even work but was rather on an internship at PKO BP - stated Ryszard Czarnecki in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". He added that it was a three-month internship, for a sum of just over a thousand one hundred zlotys in Warsaw. - My son arranged this internship himself - he continued.

The joint campaign by 300POLITYKA and WP began this morning in front of Prime Minister Morawiecki's residence. Later, at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM), the head of the Polish government showcased several elements important to him. This was followed by a press review and discussions with, among others, Jacek Sasin and Michał Dworczyk.

- He [Prime Minister Morawiecki should resign]. This is because he has lost credibility. What is emerging from these recordings indicates that he is a negation of what PiS has always declared, namely the fight for clean politics, against corruption, nepotism, cronyism, and favoritism, etc. We learn that, on the one hand, he was thinking about supporting an incompetent politician from Civic Platform, and later it turned out that he was happy... What kind of person must you be to be happy that someone broke their arm? - stated Stanisław Tyszka in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet. - We have an inconsistency between his current image and what is emerging from these recordings - he added.

„I wonder what else the Civic Platform would have to do, what else they'd have to stoop to, not to vote for PO? All Civic Platform governments in Warsaw ended in scandals. The bridge scandal, the Warsaw arrangement, and now we have the reprivatization scandal” - said Patryk Jaki, the United Right candidate for the Mayor of Warsaw, in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News. 

“We have planned various bakeries, places significant from a security perspective. We will show the entire calendar. We will have conferences and live online discussions. It will be 36 hours of very intense effort, but Warsaw is worth it” - said Deputy Minister Patryk Jaki in an interview with Polsat News. 

– This is, for example, a map that Minister Adamczyk and I recently worked on. It shows in which places which stretches of railway tracks should be rebuilt, also due to increased rail traffic, and because we want to connect smaller centers with each other – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the #24godzinyzPremierem event organized by 300POLITYKI and WP.

„Warsaw's problem is not global warming. Much indicates that [global warming] exists, but there are disputes on this topic. I don't want to deal with global warming. Warsaw's real problem is smog. For 12 years, this has been completely neglected” - said Patryk Jaki, the United Right's candidate for the mayor of Warsaw, in an interview with Piotr Witwicki. 

“We all want to be in the European Union. As a young man, I myself campaigned for the European referendum; I wanted Poland to be in the Union. I still do. The key question isn't whether we want to be in the Union, because we all want to be in the Union, but what kind of Union. I don't want to be in a Union that measures bananas” - said Deputy Minister Patryk Jaki in an interview with Polsat News. 

- I think he wanted to show that as the future mayor of Warsaw, because we are counting on it and I think he is also counting on the people of Warsaw choosing him. If this choice is considered in purely theoretical, rational terms, then his program, his ideas predestined him for this choice, that he wouldn't be tied down by party shackles, that he doesn't want a partisan presidency of Warsaw - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Marek Pyza on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour".

- Unbelievable hypocrisy. This shows that the tapes scandal is a scandal for Civic Platform, but also for PiS. Not only because Prime Minister Morawiecki was recorded, or that we may fear he could also be blackmailed, but because PiS, having control over all services, did not explain it for 3 years. The state failed. In such a situation, the Sejm should fulfill its control role and establish an investigative committee - stated Stanisław Tyszka in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

"I am referring to a normal comparison, and I would absolutely prefer that we focus on Kaczyński's 'treacherous faces' or 'worse sort'. This [the 'locusts' comparison] was actually mild, because what PiS activists are doing every day in Poland, how they have filled state-owned companies – that is illustrative. No one had PiS voters in mind. I respect everyone, even those who vote differently, because everyone has the right to choose, but I do not respect those PiS activists who are treating Poland in exactly this way. This is solely a description of the actions and methods that PiS has implemented in Poland for three years. We respect every PiS voter because they have the right to choose" - said Borys Budka from Civic Platform in an interview with Piotr Kraśko on Radio TOK FM's "Poranek".

"Civic Platform has never used Jarosław Kaczyński's language. Perhaps this biblical comparison did not reach everyone. If any PiS voter felt offended, it absolutely did not concern voters, but every day PiS politicians prove that this description is mild anyway. I want to apologize to every PiS voter who felt offended, because it only and exclusively concerned PiS activists" - he added. 

„We will see what the election results will be. I will appeal to the Green party and The Left Together to consider whether we should not run jointly in the European elections” - said the leader of the SLD, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

„Ms. Lubnauer and the remnants of Nowoczesna have so far joined forces with Mr. Grzegorz Schetyna. Neither Kosiniak, nor Zandberg, nor Małgorzata Tracz, nor we joined. Do you think that if we had gone together, the Christian democratic PO would have voted for Monika Jaruzelska, and the social democrats from SLD would have voted for Giertych and Ujazdowski? Do you know how many people would stay home? It simply doesn't work. Everyone is a fervent supporter of unrealistic things. Mr. Tusk says he is a fervent supporter of us all marching together on November 11th. But for 10 years, PO and PiS have been arguing day and night, meaning we argue, argue, argue, then we briefly come together and Schetyna says: let's unite. Then Tusk arrives and says: let's go together” - he added.

- For quite some time now, there's been this completely unwarranted psychosis. I don't believe there will be price increases for individual consumers. I also know that work is being done to compensate for potential price hikes for businesses, similar to what Germany and Western countries are doing - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the #24godzinyzPremierem event organized by 300POLITYKI and WP, responding to an article in SE about electricity price increases.

- 3 days until the end of the campaign. I must say I'm not terribly stressed. At this stage, wise people who know the specifics very well say that not much can be changed anymore, but of course, we must fight to the last drop of sweat - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the #24HoursWithThePrimeMinister event organized by 300POLITYKI and WP.

While the article doesn't contain the full text of the conversation, the provided Twitter links offer context. The tweets from @LukaszMezyk, dated October 16, 2018, suggest a discussion between the Prime Minister's Office (PMM) and the CEO of PGNiG (Polish Oil and Gas Company) regarding the naming of a newly discovered gas field. One of the suggestions put forward was to name it 'Wincenty Witos'. This proposal likely references Wincenty Witos, a prominent Polish politician and three-time Prime Minister, who was a key figure in the interwar period and a leader of the Polish People's Party (PSL). The implication is that the naming of national resources, such as gas fields, can carry symbolic and political weight, potentially honoring historical figures significant to Poland.

- At this moment, we have a statement, because that's what this boils down to, from Minister Ziobro and Minister Jaki, meaning ministers responsible for the Polish justice system, which undermines the supremacy of EU law and, what's more, wants to strip Polish courts of the ability to pose questions to the European Court of Justice regarding the interpretation of European law. This leads to the undermining of our membership in the European Union. These are no longer jokes, this is not journalistic language, this is a direct path to our exit from the European Union – said Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference in the Sejm.

- For filing this motion, for destroying the legal foundations of the independence of Polish courts and pushing Poland out of the European Union, Mr. Zbigniew Ziobro and Mr. Patryk Jaki should receive a large medal from Mr. Putin. It must be said directly that PiS is pushing Poland towards the East – added Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz.

- This is a bit of history, from the last 30 years. When we entered the period of free Poland, there were about 30,000 km of railway tracks, and then, successively, most governments partially closed some connections, many of these connections, down to a total of about 20,000 km of railway tracks. We are undertaking a program that aims to reverse this phenomenon, this unfavorable phenomenon - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Jasionka Mazowiecka. He added:

"This moment is groundbreaking. This is a turning point from which we can say that we will recreate railway connections. This is a program for the recreation of local and regional railway connections. There are very large cities in Poland, such as Jastrzębie Zdrój or Lubin, which do not have direct connections, and we certainly want to recreate various types of railway connections there in the coming years."

- The Electoral Code does not deprive her of the passive right to vote, and therefore she has the legal capacity to run for office. Nevertheless, should her candidacy end in electoral success, which is a future and uncertain event, I would undertake actions within the governor's competence to ensure the legality of the proceedings of local government bodies, which excludes the exercise of public authority by a person convicted by a final and legally binding judgment for an intentional offense prosecuted ex officio – said Zbigniew Rau at a press conference.

- An analysis of the presented circumstances leads me to believe that Hanna Zdanowska's candidacy for the mayor of Łódź, should it indeed end in success, would have to lead to multiple problems, including serious legal complications for the Łódź local government. In this situation, I concede to those voices of public opinion that call upon Ms. Hanna Zdanowska to resign for the common good, for the good of the residents of Łódź – Rau added.

- I'll let you in on a secret. Research clearly indicated that PiS is the only party whose logo evoked very positive associations. All other parties had results three times smaller. Building a different campaign would be ineffective (...) PiS clearly made a political offer aligned with its brand, leveraging the significance of its strength - stated Waldemar Paruch in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on wPolsce.pl. He added:

"If PO achieves a result significantly below 25%, Grzegorz Schetyna has a problem, especially in the context of the campaign he launched a dozen or so days ago - very aggressive, ideologized, aimed at clearly separating PO voters from the rest of Poles who vote for other parties and are undecided. This seems like a suicidal tactic, but it's about maintaining leadership."

- On October 16, 2018, a ruling was issued in case III UZ 10/18 by the Supreme Court. In this case, the Supreme Court, composed of seven judges, referred five preliminary questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union (the case file returned to the Supreme Court on October 12, 2018). In this matter, the Jasło branch of ZUS (Social Insurance Institution) withdrew its appeal and requested the discontinuation of proceedings. The prosecutor, who joined the proceedings the day before, filed a similar request – informed the Supreme Court spokesperson in a statement.

"The Supreme Court, in the ruling issued yesterday, based on Art. 469 of the Code of Civil Procedure in conjunction with Art. 398[21] of the Code of Civil Procedure and Art. 391 § 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, deemed the withdrawal of the appeal inadmissible. It should be emphasized that in cases concerning employees and insured persons, rules are in force according to which the protection of their rights is of particular importance. One of these rules is contained in Art. 469 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which in similar procedural situations mandates consideration of the "justified interest of the insured person". This is a special provision in relation to the regulations in Art. 355 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The assessment of the insured person's interest must be objective, as derived from established Supreme Court case law. Undoubtedly, the justified interest of the insured person in this case is to determine which legislation applies to them.

Furthermore, when hearing this specific case, the Supreme Court recognized a broader issue concerning a larger number of people working outside Poland and also occurring in other cases. For this reason, in fulfilling its public law role, the case was referred to a panel of seven Supreme Court judges for consideration. For these reasons, the withdrawal of the appeal, in the consideration of which a legal question arose, and furthermore, doing so at a time when the case was already before the Court of Justice of the EU and a hearing date had been set, violates "good practice" as referred to in Art. 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Moreover, such action by the pension authority, being an emanation of the state, is contrary to the principle of sincere cooperation between Member States in the implementation of European Union law, which stems from Art. 4(3) of the Treaty on European Union.

- We were, we are, and we will be for Poland belonging to the EU. We have a good place there, an important place. We bring a lot to the EU and the EU brings a lot to Poland and Poles – stated Stanisław Karczewski in a conversation with journalists in the Senate.

- In Łódź, everything is happening faster today than in the rest of the country. I am here to emphasize the importance of these elections, the local government elections in Łódź, for the situation in the entire country. But I also want to state very clearly that we all stand united behind Hanka. We are all guarding and will continue to guard democracy, procedures, and decency. I want to say that we see, we are witnessing an attack, an attempt not of crawling, but of a coup threatening us and an attack on the rule of law and democracy. If a state official, a PiS state official, announces that they will undermine the democratic verdict of the elections, which will be decided on Sunday, that they threaten a democratic choice, it means they want to break democracy. Therefore, we say very clearly: we will not allow this, the breaking of democracy. We will do everything to defend local government, the position of Mayor Zdanowska - stated Grzegorz Schetyna at a press conference in Łódź.

- We believe in these elections. We know that the only answer from Polish women and men for a democratic, self-governing Poland is to be present at the ballot box on October 21st. We all must be at the ballot box, to give a guarantee of decency, credibility, and love for freedom. This is the time. I confirm, Hanna Zdanowska is a member of Civic Platform, she is the regional head, a member of the national board, and this will never change - he added.

„In reality, the articles that appeared last night and are continuing today are a great manipulation by representatives of an extraordinary sect, an extraordinary caste, but one can also call them a sect. Manipulation, misleading public opinion, is sectarian behavior. From the commentaries on the motion I submitted, we learn that this motion means a radical hardening of the Polish government's stance in the dispute with the European Union. I want to assure you that this is a lie. The Polish government has consistently, for many months, maintained the position that the sphere of organization and structure of the judiciary is the exclusive competence of the Member States” - said the Minister of Justice, Zbigniew Ziobro, in Rzeszów.

- We wanted to do this on Monday, but today there's a circulation meeting of the [Civic Platform] board, we have expert opinions. Given that the disciplinary proceedings concerning the Łódź issue began under the previous statute, we can, and must, apply the provisions of the previous statute, and they are not as restrictive as the current ones, which is why [Hanna Zdanowska] remains a member of Civic Platform, the regional leader, and a board member - stated Grzegorz Schetyna at a press conference in Łódź.

Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe (PSL) has released a new video spot in which it criticizes the actions of the Law and Justice (PiS) party concerning Polish farmers. The party claims that due to the current government's policies, the Polish countryside could lose as much as 5 billion from the European Union budget.

The video, shared on social media and YouTube, highlights concerns about the future of Polish agriculture under PiS. PSL argues that the government's approach is detrimental to farmers and jeopardizes access to crucial EU funding. The party's message is clear: the current political direction is harming the rural economy and its inhabitants.

This criticism comes at a time when the agricultural sector is facing numerous challenges, including market fluctuations, environmental regulations, and the need for modernization. PSL, traditionally a party with strong ties to the agricultural community, positions itself as a defender of farmers' interests. The spot likely aims to mobilize support among rural voters by framing PiS as a threat to their livelihoods and the future of Polish farming.

The specific details of how the 5 billion loss is to occur are expected to be further elaborated by PSL in subsequent communications or policy proposals. However, the core message of the video spot is a direct accusation against the PiS government for its perceived mismanagement of agricultural policy and its potential negative impact on EU funding for Poland's rural areas.

- There are no such plans. These kinds of talks are, let's say, babbling at the table, which happens to everyone. I don't take it seriously at all. It's simply material that contains no content that can be seriously considered in politics. A person who wasn't a politician says something, sometimes they are right, sometimes they are wrong, sometimes it's completely normal, sometimes perhaps a bit unfortunate. It doesn't cross any boundary that is insurmountable and which would be compromising. There's nothing to talk about at all. This is the best proof, one might say, of the Prime Minister's innocence. G if there were something serious, it would undoubtedly have been activated. There is nothing serious, therefore, this kind of tapes are being launched. They have no significance - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Radio Olsztyn, when asked about reports of possible changes in the government, including a change of Prime Minister.

„The Minister has the right to use various legal means, to address the Constitutional Tribunal. Nobody intends to take away this right from him, however, such a request, with a question formulated in this way, raises some concern. It means that the conviction regarding common values binding in the European Union, regarding a common legal order, is rather weak in the author of the request, and perhaps it is a broader phenomenon. It is not a strong conviction, and this is one of the fundamental elements of the European Union” - said the spokesperson for the Supreme Court, Michał Laskowski, at a briefing.


„It is evident that the conviction in common values is rather weak when this type of request is submitted. One could say that in a sense, this is another example of instrumental treatment of law, of legal means, and this using the Constitutional Tribunal. The Minister, on the one hand, enters into a kind of game with Polish courts, including the Supreme Court, which formulated such questions, and on the other hand, a kind of game, preemptive moves in relation to potential decisions of the CJEU” - he added.

- It's nothing new, nothing special. I've been very interested in European law for 25 years, I used to deal with it professionally, back in my previous life at UKE. I dealt with it very intensively. I can make a small digression because I remember when I said at a rally in Sandomierz that I myself was involved in negotiations, the friendly media, not favorable to us, stated: oh yes, Morawiecki was involved himself, but he overdid it here. There is, of course, a Polish idiom "did something himself". When Robert Lewandowski says "I played in this match myself", it doesn't necessarily mean that he was the only one playing, and ten others were sitting on the bench, but it's worth pointing out to the dear editors from "Gazeta Wyborcza" and other various media. Besides, I think Mr. Siemoniak also expressed himself in a similar way and said that he himself negotiated something with the USA, but of course, then the objective media did not notice it subtly, because why would they? Nevertheless, I wanted to say that I also participated in these processes myself and had the opportunity to learn the methodology of the Court of Justice from the inside, as well as these preliminary rulings, i.e. so-called preliminary decisions - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with 300POLITYKA and WP, when asked about Zbigniew Ziobro's motion to the Constitutional Tribunal.

When asked if the Prime Minister knew about Zbigniew Ziobro's initiative, he stated: - It had already earlier... Of course, yes, we discussed it. This initiative was planned earlier and what's more. Similar matters were discussed in the German Constitutional Court, back in 2009 and 2010 (...) The German Constitutional Court ruled then and nobody minded. It is a completely natural course of events that in certain doubtful situations of the legislative state and the interaction between different branches of national power, in this case the judiciary, represented by common courts, and EU bodies, it is necessary to clarify certain specific cases. This is what this matter concerns, however, it is worth emphasizing that various constitutional courts deal with this, including the German one, which is a point of reference for many Polish judges at least, who visit there, that the German Constitutional Court also dealt with it. So it's nothing new. Our Constitutional Tribunal is an extremely professional tribunal.

- I don't even know how to comment on this, because one doesn't know whether to laugh or deeply regret that someone can make such speculations. Of course, the legal status between us needs to be clarified, but we are doing everything to raise the standard of living of Poles to the European level. That is how we understand Europeanness, European standards, and that is also the motto of our government's actions. The standard of living should be at the European level in a few years, we want to catch up with Spain, Italy, then France, Germany, which will probably be a longer process - the head of the Polish government continued, when asked about accusations of Polexit.

- The EU is not a mutual admiration society where everyone will love each other and pat each other on the back. No, we liked being patted on the back during the PO and PSL era, but in reality, we have to fight very hard for our interests. That is what we are doing, and increasingly effectively, what's more, in very many areas within the EU, and this also bothers some people - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with 300POLITYKA and WP.

- The President's legal services deemed that in this case it is not necessary, and now it is clear, in the case of appointments, because it is the President's prerogative, very clearly defined in one of the articles of the Constitution - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with 300POLITYKĄ and WP, when asked about the lack of the Prime Minister's counter-signature on the President's announcement regarding vacant judicial positions in the Supreme Court.

- This is a crude manipulation regarding Polexit. It has nothing to do with Polexit at all. It is a question concerning a certain fragment that could be considered legally contradictory, and a similar substantive fragment has been adjudicated, among other places, in Germany. And I will even say more, it went much further there - stated Patryk Jaki at a press conference, when asked about Zbigniew Ziobro's motion.

“The fundamental question is whether the German Constitutional Court believes that the supreme legal act is the European treaty, or whether it believes that the supreme legal act is the constitution. The German Constitutional Court has ruled on the compatibility of European treaties with the German constitution several times before, and has always maintained the same position, that the German constitution is superior to European treaties” - Minister Zbigniew Ziobro said in Krakow.

“I would very much ask TVN television not to mislead public opinion. I do not know what purpose it serves that TVN’s tickers are reporting that the Minister of Justice is introducing a Polish Brexit, because that is a lie and manipulation. I would ask that this type of untrue information not be disseminated. It is not true that the Polish government has changed its position in this regard by even a comma. The Polish government has consistently, in its correspondence with the European Commission, maintained the position that matters concerning the organization and system of Polish judiciary are exclusively within the domain of Polish law” - he added. 

"To this day, neither Grzegorz Schetyna nor these mayors of the largest cities have withdrawn these words. They have not backed down from these declarations. The chairman of the Civic Platform has not backed down, nor have the mayors associated with the Civic Platform. We wondered why this is the case. After several weeks of various talks and meetings, we recalled what Schetyna said during the Civic Platform's election convention, where he said that the Civic Platform would want to liquidate the voivodeship offices, which are representatives of the government in the field, they represent the Polish government, they implement its policy, and thus the policy of the government, in this case PiS, which absolutely does not want to agree and will never agree to the illegal influx of migrants to Poland. So, by liquidating these voivodeship offices, the Civic Platform wants to hand over power at the regional and city level to people, including mayors, who want refugees or illegal migrants in Poland."

Włodzimierz Czarzasty, leader of The Left (Lewica), has responded to Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the Law and Justice party (PiS), stating that Kaczyński should not harbor any hopes, as PiS has significantly undermined the accomplishments of the left and is currently violating the constitution.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Czarzasty directly addressed Kaczyński, saying, "Proszę sobie nie robić nadziei. Za dużo napsuliście dokonań lewicy - łamiecie konstytucję" which translates to "Do not get your hopes up. You have undone too many of the left's achievements - you are breaking the constitution."

This exchange highlights the ongoing political tensions and ideological divides in Poland. The Left party often criticizes PiS for what they perceive as a rollback of social progress and a disregard for democratic principles and constitutional law. The specific "achievements of the left" that Czarzasty refers to likely encompass areas such as social welfare, workers' rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental protection, which have historically been championed by left-leaning political movements in Poland.

The accusation of "breaking the constitution" is a serious charge often leveled against the current government by opposition parties. These accusations typically pertain to alleged infringements on the independence of the judiciary, limitations on freedoms of assembly and speech, and other constitutional principles.

The public nature of this exchange, via Twitter, underscores the direct and often confrontational style of Polish political discourse.

Donald Tusk, the former Prime Minister of Poland and current President of the European Council, has emphasized the paramount importance of Poland's continued membership in the European Union, downplaying more trivial matters.

In a statement shared on his Twitter account, Tusk articulated his stance: "Mniejsza o tabliczkę. Ważne, żeby Polski nie odkręcili od UE" which translates to "Less about the plaque. What matters is that they don't undo Poland from the EU." This statement, referencing a tweet from October 17, 2018, likely alludes to a political debate or symbolic gesture that Tusk considered secondary to the broader and more critical issue of Poland's relationship with the European Union.

The phrase "odkręcili od UE" carries a strong implication of reversal or detachment, suggesting a fear that certain political actions could lead to Poland's gradual or even abrupt withdrawal from the European Union. Tusk's focus on this core issue highlights his consistent dedication to Poland's integration within the EU framework and his concern over potential moves that could jeopardize this membership.

While the specific context of "tabliczka" (plaque) is not fully detailed in the provided snippet, it is understood that Tusk is prioritizing the fundamental strategic direction of Poland's foreign policy over potentially divisive or symbolic local issues. His message serves as a clear signal of his priorities and his unwavering commitment to ensuring Poland remains a committed and integral member of the European Union.

„PiS does not understand local government; they believe that everything should come from Warsaw, centralizing Warsaw at every level. We oppose this; we believe it is wrong and a misunderstanding of the essence of self-governance. A modern country is built by the strength of local government. The best example of PiS's failure to understand regional policy is the headquarters of Lotos. Lotos is the pride of Gdańsk. Lotos is the largest employer in the region, yet PiS is stealing Gdańsk's Lotos from us. Through the decision to merge Lotos with Orlen, local governments will lose PLN 40 million in CIT” – said Jarosław Wałęsa, a candidate for the mayor of Gdańsk, at a press conference.

„These elections will decide not only on local headquarters, local government matters, and competence. They will decide on something more: whether we can say that local Poland is an autonomous Poland, whether the voices of residents can be counted on to be heard, whether residents will choose mayors, town heads, presidents, and councilors, or if, in the long term, they will choose parliamentarians and MEPs. These elections will be about that” – added Grzegorz Schetyna. 

- These are the final days of the campaign, so full mobilization and full determination are needed. That's why I wanted to thank the ladies on this final stretch. It's incredibly important because it's easier to talk with the residents of Warsaw in such company, with smiles. Today, it's mainly about Europe, because everyone we meet is outraged by Minister Ziobro's words, which question European law, the supremacy of European law, and that's a straight path to Poland's EU exit. Questioning treaties, signed by Lech Kaczyński, by the way. This is unacceptable. Today, a debate is taking place about what it should be like. Warsaw, our local governments. We want Warsaw to be European, to develop according to its aspirations, to be able to benefit from European funds. And today, the people of Warsaw on the streets of my city are asking us, and we are answering: if the Civic Coalition candidates win, it will be a guarantee that our cities, towns, and villages will remain European. Full mobilization, a convention tomorrow, and then we will work practically non-stop for 24 hours until the beginning - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference.

- It's surprising that the Prime Minister supports non-partisan candidates. I'm curious whether the Prime Minister will also support other non-partisan candidates who are running, for example, in Warsaw on the Bezpartyjni (Non-Partisans) lists? First and foremost, I hope that the Prime Minister and ministers will withdraw this blackmail that Warsaw residents have recently been subjected to. Saying that investments will be made by the government only where votes are cast for the ruling party. This is blackmail, and the people of Warsaw will not yield to such blackmail - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference, when asked about Mateusz Morawiecki's support for Patryk Jaki.

- Warsaw needs a change, a thorough change. For its mayor to see it not just from Bankowy Square, but to truly know the problems of each of the districts, 18 districts, and perhaps even the 19th district, because if Patryk Jaki becomes president, there will be this District of the Future. His opponent, Mr. Trzaskowski, does not consider such a possibility, which is a shame, because it is a very beautiful and good idea that is also connected with a modern Warsaw, one that can be a great center of innovation, one that will surprise all of Europe, because the investment areas that have been established there are intended to have the character of a certain tax enclave as well - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a joint press conference with Patryk Jaki. He continued:

"We are considering today how transport in Warsaw looks. We have 1 and 1/4 lines of the metro, I think that's right, roughly, I said it correctly, because you can't even say it's one and a half lines of the metro. Bucharest has 4, Budapest, let alone Paris, probably has around 15 lines, London of course, major European cities. In Warsaw, after 12 years of Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz's rule, we could not manage to complete another full metro line. I want to say that these very large, essential infrastructure projects for Warsaw's development, such as the metro, metro lines III and IV, I have seen very precisely what the route of this line should be, Patryk showed it to me, and I know the costs involved, and I want to say that we have so effectively sealed the tax system, it's visible in CIT, VAT tax, and only those who close their eyes to the obvious do not notice this gigantic change, and I emphasize this in the context that money is important, real money is needed. We have snatched it from the hands of mafias, tax criminals, and this money is today being allocated to various kinds of large projects."

- When you look at it, and Patryk showed it to me, one can say it brutally: Rafał Trzaskowski promises to do what Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz didn't do for 12 years. Is it what we want, to give a fifth chance? Should we trust these people who simply confirm through their actions the credibility of what they set out in their program - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a joint press conference with Patryk Jaki.

- I very much wanted to thank the Prime Minister for his assurances that our program in Warsaw will be implemented. Warsaw, while respecting all that has happened in the capital so far, needs new development impulses. For Warsaw to develop significantly faster than it has so far, it needs not a war with the government, as the Civic Platform proposes, but cooperation with the government. And three specific things that differentiate me from Trzaskowski, and which, thanks to government assurances, will be possible to implement – stated Patryk Jaki at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. These three things are the construction of the Future District, a bridge, and the construction of the III and IV metro lines.

“The election campaign is drawing to a close, and when I listen to the proposals of various candidates, I get the impression that they could take photos against the backdrop of the fifth, sixth, or 167th metro line, against the backdrop of the 19th district on the Vistula, and in a few other imagined places that have nothing to do with reality. We propose realistic solutions. We show where the money will come from for what we want to do; others don't say where they will get the money for their promises” - said Jacek Wojciechowicz, a candidate for Mayor of Warsaw.

Among his priorities, Wojciechowicz listed completing the second metro line and starting work on the third, completing the city center bypass, enclosing the Skra and Polonia stadiums, and building the Museum of Modern Art.

Prime Minister Morawiecki, who is heading to the European Council summit in Brussels, is accompanied by Konrad Szymański, among others.

- We clarified everything with Mr. Robert. I also explained the overall context to him. The entire statement was not about him, but about a mechanism that, incidentally, never came into being, so there's nothing to discuss. Mr. Robert's reaction was very positive overall. He's such an open person – said Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Łukasz Mężyk and Tomasz Machała.

- The relations are either formal or perfunctory, because we haven't really discussed this directly, neither now nor before. Chairman Tusk is playing with fire when it comes to Brexit. This is a very serious matter, and playing strongly for a hard Brexit could mean gigantic losses for Poles living on the islands - said Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Łukasz Mężyk and Tomasz Machała.

Patryk Jaki's campaign team has presented a new spot concerning refugees. The clip uses statements by Rafał Trzaskowski and Grzegorz Schetyna.

The Prime Minister has already arrived in Brussels, where he will participate in the European Council summit. Later today, Mateusz Morawiecki will attend a meeting of the Prime Ministers of the Visegrád Group countries.



And at 7:00 PM, he will participate in a working dinner of all Heads of State and Government of the European Council.

- First and foremost, we discussed teachers; this is an extremely important matter. Our female and male teachers bear enormous responsibility for our children, and I say this not only as a politician but also as a father. We want these allowances, financed by the local government, to be higher. The City Council has decided to increase allowances for form tutors and school principals. We want teachers who are just starting their careers to receive higher allowances, as we are short of these teachers. We want as many people as possible to enter the profession - said Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference after a meeting with Warsaw branches of ZNP.

- Very good news. Simply put, our excellent conclusions, which we painstakingly negotiated in June, at the end of June at the European Council, are now being translated into practice, the implementation of specific provisions regarding refugees and migration. Here, for the first time, these issues are moving in the right direction, just as Poland desired. The Austrian presidency has proposed certain solutions, and we are on the right track to developing a positive outcome - said Mateusz Morawiecki in Brussels.

- Reports of [serious illness] were exaggerated. It's not about some very serious matters, but the campaign is naturally uplifting. It's a moment of heightened focus - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News.

- This [Polexit] topic is invoked for propaganda reasons and at the same time, it's a topic that harms not PiS, but Poland. We were pro-European, meaning in favor of Poland's membership in the EU, back then, and we remain so. We haven't changed our minds in the slightest. I will remind you that Porozumienie Centrum [Centre Agreement] was the first to propose such a postulate, to join, back then, the EEC. I was perhaps the first European politician, serving as prime minister, to publicly speak about a European army. We have nothing to justify. The problem is simply this: Platforma [Civic Platform] sought positions in the EU for its politicians, while we advocate for Polish interests - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News.

- As far as I know, I am absolutely convinced that I know well, Prime Minister Morawiecki has done nothing wrong in his life, apart from the fact that, being an opposition activist, despite his very young age, he was soundly beaten. Not at all because of his father, but because of his own activities – said Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News's "Wydarzenia i Opinie".

- I'm not winking, it's Mr. Czarzasty who changes his mind. Today he said something rather unfriendly. However, in Olsztyn, if I wasn't misled by the journalist conducting the interview with me, he said something completely different. I don't get offended, sometimes I just have a little laugh – said Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News's "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions).

- If it will serve the good change, on that condition. If it will not serve the good change, then not with SLD, nor anyone else. Then we prefer to be in opposition – added the PiS leader.

„There is a certain imbalance in terms of media power. We, because we promise a lot and do a lot, and have been very heavily criticized for decades, since the times of the Polish United Workers' Party [PZPR], are therefore very closely watched by society. Consequently, we are dealing with various kinds of [poll] fluctuations, but I wouldn't attach great importance to individual polls. We'll see the results very soon” - said Jarosław Kaczyński, the party leader, on Polsat News.

„Polish citizens will have good courts in time, and they were not good. I am deeply convinced that better people will come, but above all, that the structures which led to the conviction that 'we are an extraordinary caste' and in essence 'we don't have to report to anyone about what we do, we are completely independent in our decisions, even from laws, from the legal system,' that this situation will change. This is a very deeply bad, pathological situation. It is a situation that weakens society because it weakens the state, the certainty and predictability of law” - said Law and Justice party leader Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News.

- I'm not going to prophesy at this moment. I will only say that I hope we will have a better result than the last one, four years ago, which was the best in our history - said Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i Opinie".

- I wouldn't want to talk about numbers at this moment, it's always dangerous. It depends on the voters. We simply want to win in as many regional assemblies as possible and try to govern there – added the PiS leader.

“Mateusz Morawiecki became Prime Minister for very different reasons. I believe that, regarding his work in the European Union, if one knows the details which I cannot describe here, then everything is fine. Regarding the conflict, well, we have infringed upon serious interests. VAT alone has recovered at least over 200 billion Polish zlotys in the last few years. These are also external interests” - said Law and Justice party leader Jarosław Kaczyński on Polsat News.

„This is an excellent initiative, and we are moving strongly towards this, aiming for a single, grand march, a march of independence, where everyone who values Polish independence will be present. If November 11th were a day of truce, although that's the wrong term, because there should be no war in Poland, we don't want any war, we want agreement and work, that would be great, and perhaps it would be a springboard for this war to subside and eventually end. The fact that there is a government and an opposition, and that they argue with each other, sometimes saying harsh words, sometimes unfair ones, is normal in a democracy. This cannot be avoided, unless someone desires a dictatorship” - said the leader Jarosław Kaczyński in Polsat News.
