- There will be one big, wonderful march, and if there are any incidents, well. It's like in any city in Poland or town in Poland, something might happen somewhere, but that doesn't mean that city, Warsaw or Ostrołęka, is a bad city. If there's an incident, an excess, that's how it should be treated - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat.

- A compromise has been reached here. It will be a safe march, and at the same time full of joy, because regardless of what various provocateurs might do, it will be a large, multi-thousand march of white and red hearts, flags - he added. As PMM said, there is only joy in his heart, because these circumstances are a very happy time. - After years of bondage, we were able to regain our freedom. Today, we can build our state ourselves, more justly - he stated.

- Some are clearly always looking for differences, others are trying to build local Poland, local roads, the dignity of our families, but also jobs, and decreasing unemployment. This is my primary goal, i.e., Poland's strong position in Europe. The EU is a Polish project. We are part of the EU, we will be part of the EU, because we believe that together with the EU we can truly compete better in the whole world now, because it is such a great challenge + these elements of security - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat.

- I invite everyone to the march, to the ceremonies. I already invited them on September 1st at Westerplatte. I wish this day were truly a day of unity. If some have forgotten about this, are still trying to inflame the situation, then we forgive them - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a conversation with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat.

• A strong EU is the foundation of a strong Polish economy. Today, the foundation of Polish independence is a strong transatlantic alliance. A strong EU, of course, but above all, one cannot forget that a strong state, efficient institutions, ones that can provide social programs, as we have done, is what makes the economy and society one, and then a strong, sovereign homeland is built – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat.
• Anyone who talks about Poland leaving the EU harms Poland. I appeal to everyone not to make such various statements, completely unsubstantiated by reality, because they are simply various kinds of delusions and phantasmagoria. In reality, nobody is aiming for this. We are in favor of Poland pursuing its interests, and it pursues them within the framework of the EU – PMM added.

- Most likely, a United Opposition project for these elections [to the EP] is possible, and consequently, it could be another electoral sequence where the result will be surprising for those who unite, because there is always such a bonus - stated Piotr Zgorzelski on TVN24's "Kawa na ławę".

- Thank you for this beautiful ceremony, that you listened to the appeal, that you came with white and red banners. That there is a sea of white and red flags. That in such an amazing way, we can pay tribute to those to whom we owe a free, independent, sovereign Poland. Those who regained it in 1918, who later fought to secure its borders, defended it in 1939, fought in the underground to regain it. Then they did not agree with the communist Soviet yoke and continued to fight. They died. Those who took to the streets to protest, to demand decent living conditions, work, wages, and ultimately, simply freedom. Those who died and suffered so that we could regain Poland and thanks to whom we regained it. Today we have it, and the white and red flags can freely flutter above us and we can joyfully sing the Dombrowski Mazurka - stated President Andrzej Duda during the ceremony for the 100th anniversary of regaining independence.

- Squabbles never serve the building of a strong state. Squabbles hinder it. The Second Polish Republic, which unfortunately, after just 21 years, was defeated by Soviet and Hitlerite invaders, by Russians and Germans, also learned this. How difficult it was afterwards to return to a free Poland, to regain independence – stated President Andrzej Duda during the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of regaining independence.

- I would like the reconstruction of the Saxon Palace, which we are inaugurating here today, to be a symbol of this return. I would like the palace to stand again, to be a visible sign of this growing Poland. I would like it to be a public building that every one of my compatriots can also see from the inside and in which they can attend to their various matters - stated President Andrzej Duda during the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of regaining independence.

A monument to Ignacy Daszyński was unveiled in Warsaw. The event was accompanied by posts on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of SLD Poland, sharing photographs and updates from the ceremony. The first tweet, with the hashtag #Warszawa, shows the monument itself and the gathered attendees. The second tweet features a photo of the delegation laying a wreath, highlighting the commemorative aspect of the occasion.

- I am convinced that regardless of where anyone comes from, we are happy to have a free Poland. This is the basic condition for Poland to become stronger, happier, and wealthier - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the Family Picnic "100th Anniversary of Independence". He added:

"Today, we can arrange our home ourselves more justly, more effectively. With this celebration, we confirm our capabilities, our outlook to the future. This celebration is also a great commitment to the heroes of 100 years ago."

According to preliminary police estimates, over 200,000 people are currently participating in the march in Warsaw

The provided link is a tweet from Leszek Miller. The tweet itself is: "Przez chwilę myślałem, że nasi przyjaciele z PO zapomnieli, że jeszcze żyję. Okazało się, że Donald Tusk i Bogdan Wenta (błąd, chodziło o Grasia, visible typo) mnie odwiedzili." (For a moment I thought our friends from Civic Platform had forgotten I was still alive. It turned out that Donald Tusk and Bogdan Wenta (error, it was supposed to be Graś) visited me.)

- A joint march is a huge success. We already know that there are very, very many people [at the march]. Perhaps it will even reach 200,000. We are delighted, there were beautiful ceremonies on Piłsudski Square, a wonderful speech by the president. It is a great day - said Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Niezalezna.pl.

- The smooth proceedings of state ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining independence, including the "For You Poland" march, are the result of cooperation between services subordinate to the Minister of Interior and Administration and the Minister-Coordinator of Special Services. To date, no terrorist or extremist incidents have been recorded. The Warsaw march is the largest gathering secured by the Warsaw Police in its history. The ABW, together with the Police, has so far detained about 100 people who were identified in operational actions as posing a threat to the security of the ceremonies – emphasized the Ministry of Interior and Administration in a statement prepared with the Minister-Coordinator of Special Services.

"Actions aimed at securing the ceremonies began a few days before November 11th. As a result of the actions taken, the ABW and the Police prevented the organization of concerts intended to be held under the auspices of far-right groups. The Border Guard is also conducting its operations, carrying out procedures for individuals presenting themselves for border control. As a result of these actions, entry into the territory of the Republic of Poland was prevented for individuals from environments posing a threat to security and public order, including citizens of Russia, Sweden, and Ukraine.

Furthermore, the Police and the ABW prevented the holding of three conferences where totalitarian ideology was to be promoted. On November 8-11, this year, the ABW, together with the Police, carried out procedural activities against individuals whose behavior could pose a threat to internal security and the state's public order. As part of these activities, approximately 100 people were detained, and the residences of some of them were searched. The ABW cooperated with the Border Guard, to whom it provided information about foreign activists from far-right, left-wing, and neo-fascist groups.

The operating methods and tactics of Police officers during the security of the National Independence Day celebrations were adapted to the number of participants in the march. To date, the services have not recorded any major disturbances of public order. A special operations staff, under the supervision of the Police Headquarters (KGP), is operating at the Capital City Police Headquarters to coordinate the actions of officers. During the security operations, the officers in the capital are supported by officers from other police garrisons and units.
