The government, whose session will begin at 10:00, will address, among other things, the amendment to the act on supporting families and foster care. 

At 12:30, Minister Elżbieta Rafalska will hold her briefing, and at 14:00, a press conference will take place at the National Stadium with the participation of Deputy Minister Jarosław Sellin, dedicated to the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of regaining independence.

– [I was very impressed watching Donald Tusk] that he was very well prepared, in very good shape. I also had the opportunity to speak with him. Not during the interrogation, but before and during the break. I saw that he is in very good shape. Very well prepared, focused. A Tusk like in the good old days – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". As he emphasized, "we talked about the future and politics." – After his return in December 2019, I think so, this is a project that can mean something in Polish politics. We didn't talk [about it yesterday]. We only discussed the current situation and the analysis of what is happening at the commission – continued the Civic Platform chairman.

- It's worth making a significant effort so that after the Civic Coalition wins the parliamentary elections, or whatever can be built around it, we can have a very serious discussion about a joint candidate for [Poland's] president - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". 

- Of course, not everything went as it should have, but ultimately, Tusk's interrogation exposed the lack of arguments from the investigators who wanted to question and apprehend him. It wasn't the services, because those notes, those warnings, existed. I'm looking more towards the prosecution. There were no mechanisms within the prosecution and no state supervision over the prosecution to enforce the information that flowed from the services - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- The work of the services was thorough, but there was no mechanism that would have indicated, warned, and led to state intervention earlier. That is indeed true, but I believe it was the prosecution that should have reacted sooner. All those who did not make decisions are now having great careers and promotions under the Prosecutor General - added the Civic Platform leader.

- We will go to a different place together [with Donald Tusk] and lay flowers. This is a very important date for us, historians [November 11th]. We have spoken about it a lot. We will be at the monument of Józef Piłsudski because it is symbolic. We will be there in the morning hours, with friends, with people with whom we are doing and want to do politics, and more. We want to pay tribute to the fathers of the independent state. We will do this not only in Warsaw. Due to the collapse of the entire concept for preparing this celebration, we will also do it throughout the country. I believe it will be a widespread action by PO members - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

As the PO leader emphasized, he will not be at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at 12:00 PM. - We will be at these celebrations on November 11th. At the celebrations organized by the city, by Platforma local government officials throughout the country - he added.

"Today, the PiS leader, Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński, will present data regarding the election results at a press conference. This was PiS's fourth victory. Four years ago, PiS also won the local government elections, then the presidential elections, parliamentary elections, and now local government elections again. We have broken the AWS record for support in local elections. This is the highest result in history," said Minister Mariusz Błaszczak on Radio Jedynka.

- I would like to build such a coalition, such an electoral bloc, that will win in 2019 - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego." He added:

"We stood as six with the SLD, European Democrats, and PSL. We stood next to each other on Friday, before the elections. Yes, I am taking this very seriously into consideration, if we manage to conduct talks in a better style than before the local government elections, and I believe so, that it is possible. This is what Poles expect."

When asked about a stronger integration of Platforma with Nowoczesna, he replied: - I think so. This is a process that will continue. Cooperation of parliamentary clubs. I don't know if it's a matter of federation, because it's a matter of organization [regarding a common club] and logistics, the functioning of such a large club. It's not simple. Presence in the media. I am taking this very seriously into consideration. We are talking with leader Lubnauer.

When pressed about a joint party, he stated: - That would be very difficult. Victory over PiS is tempting. To effectively stop PiS. It's worth doing a lot to make it happen, but the strongest, the largest must start. To show that it's not just a gesture, but a new political space. I think that all the people of Platforma, who founded and led it, will decide [regarding the brand]. I want a project, effectiveness. I believe that's the most important. Platforma is a brand, known not only in Poland, but in Europe and the world. It built the Civic Coalition and gave victory, hope to Poles that PiS can be effectively defeated. That is why this is its value.

"Schetyna is talking about a victory [in the local elections]. Meanwhile, there was no victory there. Gdańsk - the PO candidate didn't even make it to the second round, Szczecin. In places where polls were conducted after the second round - Gdańsk, Kielce, and Kraków - these are candidates registered under their own committees, not candidates of the Civic Coalition," stated Minister Mariusz Błaszczak on Polish Radio's Program I.

„We haven't discussed government reshuffles. The European Parliament elections are in May next year. Everything is ahead of us. For now, it is the time to summarize the results of the local government elections and to form boards in individual voivodeships. That is the challenge for today. Later, it will be the implementation of the PiS government's program, and we still have many months until the EP elections” - said Minister Mariusz Błaszczak on Radio Jedynka.

„Yesterday's speech by Donald Tusk only proved that the former prime minister of the Polish government was absent, out of control, failed to oversee the special services, and that the Polish state was theoretical - as Minister Sienkiewicz also stated. During yesterday's interrogation, Tusk proved that this was precisely the case, that he was not interested in state affairs, and that he allowed over 18,000 Polish citizens to be defrauded by a repeat offender” - Minister Mariusz Błaszczak said on the I Polskiego Radia program.

“Tusk tried to use the situation for his own political campaign. PiS is decidedly for Poland being in the European Union. Our only concern is for Poland's position in the EU to be stronger, in contrast to what happened during Donald Tusk's governments,” said Minister Mariusz Błaszczak on Jedynka, referring to Tusk's statements yesterday that a Polexit is possible.

- Donald Tusk's task in this matter was neither to defend himself nor to incriminate himself. Tusk's task was to testify as a witness, and I have the impression that he did not fully wish to cooperate with the investigative commission. Because we are not here to incriminate anyone, but to establish and clarify the circumstances under which the state failed to function in 2012 and earlier. I do not believe that the Prime Minister's memory was actually failing so much. His answers were usually vague - stated Bartosz Kownacki in a conversation with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- Donald Tusk performed much weaker than before the previous gambling investigative commission. And generally much weaker than a few years ago. He was unprepared, he was stressed. It was evident that his nerves got the better of him periodically, he shouted. I did not expect this Tusk during the interrogation. I was rather prepared for a much more formidable opponent - he continued.

- Perhaps some of us lost our temper, because if a witness doesn't answer the question, that can happen. However, I expected much more from the Prime Minister of the Polish government. But we are only just entering politics. Donald Tusk has been in it for 30 years. It's clear that this is probably Donald Tusk's declining period - stated Bartosz Kownacki in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- Definitely, firstly, he did not act like a good steward. Secondly, he indeed failed to fulfill his duties. I don't believe it was to such an extent that it would result in criminal liability. Besides, if I recall correctly, such an offense, if we are to call it that at all, has already expired, so there's no point expecting justice from Donald Tusk in this regard, but other avenues exist. I'm not prejudging that they might be used. For instance, the State Tribunal - stated Bartosz Kownacki in a conversation with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- I'm not prejudging that Donald Tusk will be brought before the State Tribunal in this matter, but I do not rule it out as a member of the commission, that such a situation absolutely qualifies as such conduct - added the PiS MP.

- There seems to be no particular need [for further interrogations by the Amber Gold investigative committee]. Perhaps there will be some more, because the committee reconvenes after the interrogations, especially the key ones, and then some conclusions may be drawn. However, there are no testimonies from Donald Tusk that would shed new light, beyond the fact that I was indeed surprised that he was unable to demonstrate basic actions he performed. But this does not necessitate summoning any witnesses, it really shouldn't be the case. But some documents, some conclusions may still come in - stated Bartosz Kownacki in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- Chairwoman Wassermann is a lawyer and has read thousands of volumes of files. She wanted to ask specific questions, to clarify the matter, and the person on the other side was acting in a play. It is very difficult to establish a relationship when a former prime minister is sitting there joking around. The question is, are we taking this seriously? Because in my opinion, the prime minister is not taking this seriously – stated Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News's "Polityczne Graffiti".

- For the past week and a half, no one serious about politics would comment on Paweł Kukiz's posts. I didn't enter public life to comment on the posts of a man who has problems. Are you sure no one logged in for him? - stated Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News's "Polityczne Graffiti", when asked about Paweł Kukiz's post claiming that the police are suffering from canine flu.

- Today, the opposition is scaring people with Polexit, and it's as credible as the claim that the elections didn't happen two weeks ago. The elections are organized by the PKW and KBW, whom I would like to thank for conducting the elections efficiently, despite what the opposition prophesied - added the Deputy Minister of the Interior and Administration.

A statement by PiS Chairman Jarosław Kaczyński is scheduled for 1:00 PM at the party's headquarters on Nowogrodzka Street.

The Council of Ministers, at its currently commencing session, will address a bill authored by the Ministry of Finance, which proposes the temporary maintenance of 8% and 23% VAT rates. This item is on the agenda.

- In accordance with current VAT law provisions, the VAT rates of 23% and 8%, which were increased by 1 percentage point from January 1, 2011, will revert on January 1, 2019, to the levels preceding the aforementioned date, i.e., to 22% and 7% respectively. Bearing in mind that VAT is the primary source of state budget revenue, it is necessary to maintain the rates at their current level until a reduction is justified from the perspective of public finances – it was stated in the government's work schedule.

- It is certain that something must be done about this [Supreme Court], but exactly what we are doing has not yet been decided. I think that within the next two months, by the end of the year, something will happen in this matter. An amendment is necessary if any change is to occur. The judges themselves say they have returned to work because the law needs to be changed so they can formally return to work. That is still ahead of us. This is an obvious violation of the current legal principles in Poland - said Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

To the statement that if it is a violation of the law, then the law should not be amended, the head of the PiS parliamentary club replied: - However, we must also consider the opinions of the Court of Justice of the EU, which sets certain requirements and expectations for Member States, often stretching EU law a bit. In the sense that this court, the judges are appointed by governments, so this court is certainly a political body, but that is the reality, and we must take it into account, we must comply with the requirements or needs, the expectations of EU institutions.

- This is a very complicated matter. Such general [media] deconcentration, one might say, requires considerable effort, including legislative effort. It can be done in smaller steps. At the moment, there is no project that is ready and would be directed to the Sejm. There is a conviction that something must be done about this matter, and we will certainly do something about it. It is not said [that it will be in this term] - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- Indeed, this, one could say, media bombardment with an evident lie that we plan, intend, that we would even want to take Poland out of the EU, has had some effect. It seems to me, primarily in cities. This was one, in my opinion, of the fundamental reasons [for such a result] - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- We will naturally analyze this result. We will conduct various sociological studies. We will check where the increase in turnout came from, which turned out to be unfavorably favorable for us in large cities - added the head of the PiS club.

- We are governing in six regional assemblies today, and I believe the scale of this victory will grow further. We will not preempt anything. I think the public opinion will be surprised by this - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- On October 31, 2018, Prof. Małgorzata Gersdorf, First President of the Supreme Court, sent information to the European Commission regarding the measures taken at the Supreme Court to fully comply with the Court of Justice of the European Union's (CJEU) ruling of October 19, 2018, in case C-619/18 - the Supreme Court's press office announced.

"The information was also forwarded for the attention of the Court of Justice of the EU.

In the notification, President Gersdorf informed that on October 19 of this year, all Supreme Court judges covered by the scope of the interim measures were summoned to resume their official duties at the Supreme Court, and by October 31, 22 judges had reported to the Supreme Court, with some of them already assigned cases for adjudication.

Ms. President also informed that the legislative and executive authorities are considering how to implement the aforementioned ruling."

“It was the finale of the commission’s long, arduous work. I wasn’t convinced that there would be any breakthrough, any fireworks of revelations or new matters in the final interrogation; rather, a summary. This summary showed the weakness of the state at that time and such carelessness of the authorities regarding both the state organs and their actions, as well as what was the subject of concern for the services” - said Deputy Marshal Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus. “The crowning achievement of the work will be the report, which we expect probably within a month. I don’t feel [disappointed]. Perhaps those who listened, who watched every interrogation, lived it somehow, they feel that a crucial step was missing. Both the chairwoman and the commission managed well” - he added. “[Tusk] is a very skilled debater, finding a retort to every question. One should expect that this is how it would look, that it would be a ping-pong of witty remarks and sharp statements. It was difficult to expect that Tusk would somehow be stripped bare of his weakness as prime minister and that he would admit to it” - Terlecki asserted.

„This letter is the fulfillment of an obligation stipulated in the CJEU ruling, to present what actions have been taken as a result of this ruling. The First President stated that she summoned all judges over 65 years of age to appear in court, that all these judges appeared, and that cases and hearing dates are being scheduled for them” - said the Supreme Court spokesperson, Michał Laskowski, in an interview with TOK FM.

„We don't know what actions [by the government] are being taken, if any. In this notification, the First President included only a general statement, based on media reports, that some work is in progress, but we don't know the results of this work. We don't know when they will be available. I think these [government] bodies will also be submitting reports” - he added.

„There have been no consultations [regarding the amendment to the Supreme Court Act]. Since the meeting between the First President and Prime Minister Morawiecki, there have been no consultations” - he explained.

„The fact that turnout was high, the highest for any local government elections to date, is a very good sign of democracy strengthening in Poland. I thank everyone who participated in these elections, regardless of who they voted for. I especially thank the representatives of PiS and United Right, who participated in these elections as candidates, as supporters, as those who organized the election campaign. A very successful election campaign for us” - said the party leader, Jarosław Kaczyński, at the PiS headquarters.

„These are hard numbers, hard data. Our victory is beyond the slightest doubt. I understand that representatives of the committees that lost these elections are trying to change their image, but that is abstracting from the facts, to put it mildly. Most importantly, these elections are a very good predictor for the parliamentary elections. I'm not talking about the European ones, because there the turnout is different and the electorate structure is different. It's hard to say, hard to calculate” - said Law and Justice party leader Jarosław Kaczyński.

„This whole story, which is being spun today to influence public consciousness and people's convictions, is based on wishful thinking. The facts are what they are. PiS has achieved another victory, and it's a very decisive and unambiguous victory” - he added.

- Today I have submitted my resignation from membership in the Democratic Left Alliance. This was a very difficult decision, as the over eighteen years I spent in the party have left me with many warm memories, and the people I met thanks to the Alliance will always be an inexhaustible source of inspiration for me – Krzysztof Gawkowski announced on Facebook.

We cordially invite you to a lecture by the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, titled: "November 11, 2018. Poland and Europe. Two Anniversaries, Two Lessons." The meeting is part of the Freedom Games 2018 "Battle for History." The Games are an annual forum of the Liberté! Foundation, a gathering of people curious about the world and hungry for new ideas. We are creating an alternative, cultural celebration of the 100th anniversary of independence for everyone who shares democratic values," write the organizers in the event published on Facebook. Over a thousand people have already registered for the lecture by the former Prime Minister through this medium.

"It's not a case of 'no' just for the sake of saying 'no,' that I don't want to talk, don't want to meet, don't want to sign an agreement. I want to, but I am a responsible person. I will not sign a commitment for which I know it will be impossible to realize and fulfill" - said Minister Joachim Brudziński in Łódź regarding the police protest.

Jacek Sutryk, a candidate for the mayor of Wrocław, announced on Twitter that Rafał Dutkiewicz, the current mayor, has decided to ban the nationalist march scheduled for November 11th.

In a tweet posted on November 6th, Sutryk stated: "Regarding the November 11th march in Wrocław, I have received confirmation from Mayor Rafał Dutkiewicz that he has decided to ban its organization. This decision has been communicated to the organizers."

The announcement comes amid growing tensions surrounding nationalist marches in Poland, particularly on November 11th, which is Poland's Independence Day. These marches have often been a site of controversy, with concerns raised about potential disturbances and displays of extremist ideologies.

The decision by Mayor Dutkiewicz to ban the march, as reported by Sutryk, suggests a proactive effort to maintain public order and prevent potential conflicts on a significant national holiday. Further details regarding the specific reasons for the ban and any official statements from the city authorities are expected.

As 300POLITYKA has learned, Tomasz Matynia will take over as the director of the Government Information Centre, replacing Piotr Matczuk in this position.

Matynia has been professionally associated with the Chancellery of the Prime Minister since January – initially as part of the Government Information Centre, and since May 2018 as the Deputy Director of the Department of Strategic Studies of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, operating within the Centre for Strategic Analyses.

Furthermore, since March 2018, he has been a member of the Council of the Public Opinion Research Centre as Prime Minister Morawiecki's representative. In the past – from November 2015 to January 2018 – he was the head of the Political Cabinet of the Minister of Health.

Another source for 300POLITYKA claims that Matczuk resigned for personal reasons, and the decision was made some time ago.

I will congratulate [Jarosław Kaczyński] on surviving this electoral defeat. You know politics better than I do and you know that if someone tries to explain themselves by relying on charts and saying they won the election, even though it's clear they didn't win, to put it mildly, and lost in many places, it means they're finding it hard to take. Today I saw such a Kaczyński, one who's been through a lot, after a difficult Sunday into Monday - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie".

- Donald Tusk fell before the Amber Gold commission. He wanted to escape his responsibility when he was prime minister. He admitted that he was not interested in abuses, he was not interested in theft, that he agreed to over 18,000 Poles losing their life savings, because it wasn't his job – said Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.

- One could say so [there are two winners of the election]. Because Poland has divided very clearly when it comes to voters. Our spectacular victories in the first rounds in cities, and in the second as well, we won where the opponents were representatives of PiS. I am talking about independent, civic, and KO candidates - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie".

- I want to win, I want to stop PiS. I want to win the European Parliament, Sejm, and Senate elections against them. To stop them, and we took the first step now. We showed that this march of PiS for power, after all, they were going for full power in local governments, has been stopped. KO and those independent candidates whom we supported did this - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski in "Wydarzenia i opinie" on Polsat News.

- I am full of concerns regarding provocations. I hear from which side. From the extreme side. Both the extreme nationalist and the extreme left, the radical left – said Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.

I believe that he [Robert Biedroń] will be looking for his place on the political scene, he will want to test himself in the European Parliament elections. I believe that these European Parliament elections, and then the elections for the Sejm and Senate, will be a joint campaign. In reality, it will be one election. Because the time isn't that long – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions). There will come a time when we will integrate circles. Those that are pro-democratic, pro-European, that respect civil liberties, the rule of law, the Constitution – added the PO leader.

– It was Mr. Jakubiak who broke his own back, concocting plans to create a political party. I repeatedly explained over these three years that Kukiz’15 is not a party, that Kukiz’15 does not receive subsidies, and does not support taking 30 million PLN from the taxpayer's pocket – said Paweł Kukiz in an interview with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program „Kropka nad i”.

There may be 27 (members of the Kukiz’15 club – ed.). If Wojtek Bakun becomes the mayor of Przemyśl, Mr. Majka will take his place. He is a person close to Kornel Morawiecki. It seems to me that he will not join the Kukiz’15 club. Since he is Mr. Kornel Morawiecki's man, let him go directly to Mr. Kornel Morawiecki – Paweł Kukiz said in a conversation with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program "Kropka nad i".

Did Tusk do well? Certainly, when it comes to rhetoric, when it comes to PR skills, he is a master. I have no doubts - said Paweł Kukiz in an interview with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program „Kropka nad i”. - Master and Margarita is a nice comparison. Generally, I did not like the rhetoric of the entire commission – Kukiz added.

“There will be time for deeper analysis later. It’s been two days since the election results were announced. We must draw conclusions. For us, work and humility are most important. We want to work hard for Poles and we will work even harder in government to convince people of our program and our vision for Poland,” said the president-elect of Chełm, Jakub Banaszek from the United Right, on TVP Info’s “Gość Wiadomości.”

“Patriotism is the fruit of the tree of memory. We greatly need this tree. I thank everyone who waters this tree, who cares for it, because only on this foundation can we rebuild the memory of our great history and build our contemporary identity. Thanks to these values, we will look to the future with even more confidence and achieve the goals we set for ourselves,” said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the Guardian of Memory gala.

-- CHANGES IN THE CHANCELLERY OF THE PRIME MINISTER. TOMASZ MATYNIA IS THE NEW DIRECTOR OF CIR - we write on 300POLITYCE. https://300polityka.pl/news/2018/11/06/news-300-zmiany-w-kprm-tomasz-matynia-nowym-dyrektorem-cir/ -- 300POLITYKI LIVEBLOG: Banaszek asked about the defeat of ZP candidates in larger cities: We must draw conclusions.

Kukiz: Jakubiak broke his back by coming up with plans to create a political party. I have explained many times over the past three years that Kukiz'15 is not a party.

But in unofficial conversations, they admit that his return to Poland as a presidential candidate would be a very serious strengthening of the opposition.
