At 3:45 PM, the Senate Committee on Budget and Public Finance will work on amendments to the Act on Supervision of the Financial Market.

Today, the Court of Justice of the EU will also hold a hearing of the parties concerning the decision to suspend the application of provisions of the Act on the Supreme Court.

„We have several documents. We are still waiting for some because the Ministry of Finance is preparing the remaining documents. This won't be our only activity, our only ministry, as we need to gather documentation on this legislative process and look for documents that flowed between individual ministries and offices” – said Sławomir Neumann, head of the Civic Platform club, on the morning program of Radio TOK FM. 

“The most important people in the government, from PiS, are trying to appropriate many areas of life and, by nationalizing, repolonizing, appropriate them for themselves, politicize them, take them over, and benefit from them. They use people for this who perhaps previously participated in minor scams. If a person has been bought twice, they will be bought a third time. They don't cause trouble. Here [regarding KNF] is an example of the actions of people, the highest officials responsible for protecting the financial market. The President of the NBP, the head of the KNF, the head of the BFG, and the Prime Minister's Chancellery are involved in this procedure. There is talk about the Minister of Justice and his contacts in the banking sector. All of this shows that the most important people in the state have decided that now is the time to cash in on having power” – said the head of the Civic Platform club, Sławomir Neumann, in an interview with Jacek Żakowski on TOK FM.

- There will be a conference. I'm looking forward to it too. Let's wait a little longer. I don't know anything about it. I certainly can't wait. I believe that today we should do everything to seek common ground. All hands on deck. Everyone who wants to serve a democratic, open, European Poland should be utilized, and today I will announce one of the first important personnel decisions. I think it will be a decision that will strengthen this project, which has been building for two months now - said Robert Biedroń in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News, when stated that Krzysztof Gawkowski would stand next to him and join the new project.

- This matter requires thorough consideration. I can only say that the mere fact of the KNF Head meeting with billionaire Czarnecki is extremely irresponsible. The relevant institutions will clarify the rest – said Elżbieta Rafalska in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the programme “Gość Radia ZET”.

- He won't intimidate me. Ziobro can scare his colleagues. With recordings, tapes, or whatever else. I am not afraid of Ziobro, his prosecution office, or his accusations – Sławomir Neumann stated during a press conference in the Sejm.

- I will gladly tell Ziobro that the same accusations could be leveled against him. Everything he does, personally overseeing investigations concerning PiS members and activists, they are always quashed or hidden deep in a drawer – Neumann added.

- I think it is necessary [to establish a parliamentary inquiry committee]. PiS has been talking all the time about the absence of the separation of powers, but rather about mono-power. That all power, judicial, prosecutorial, and executive, should be concentrated in one pair of hands. And today we have a situation where the gentlemen from PiS: Mr. Morawiecki, Mr. Glapiński, Mr. Ziobro, are shifting responsibility. It wasn't me, it was a colleague. Even though I signed it, and in reality, he recommended it to me, they are pointing fingers. What right do we have to believe them – as the opposition, as voters...? - Sławomir Nitras said on RMF FM.

- I hope [CJEU] will uphold this interim measure, which we are already implementing, because it would be somewhat problematic if we presented the ability to implement it. As a constitutional body of the state, I am already implementing this ruling - stated Małgorzata Gersdorf in a conversation with journalists.

- An amendment [to the Supreme Court Act] is not needed at the moment. It might be needed after the court's ruling. I don't know what the government's plans are, in which direction this amendment is supposed to go, what it's supposed to look like. I don't know why they are so insistent on this amendment right now. I think there will be some catches for us - she added.

- The ruling party actually has two options today. The ruling party has the opportunity to clarify this affair, which is the biggest affair of the Third Polish Republic in terms of public finances. It can clarify this affair by appointing a parliamentary investigative committee and distancing itself from all those connected with corruption and pressure on bank owners – said Jan Grabiec in the Sejm.

- There is also a second path. They can choose a path of intimidating bank owners, of blackmailing or threatening opposition representatives who want this matter clarified. We have heard statements from the Prosecutor General, Minister Ziobro, who threatened opposition politicians, saying that if they deal with this matter, they themselves will be held accountable by the prosecutor. Today, the Senate committee is deciding which path to choose. Whether the path of clarifying this matter, or the path of erasing traces and continuing this practice – Grabiec added.

„Our support for special economic zones, the recovery of tens of billions in taxes that were flowing out of our country, was a theft of our money. Today, for small and medium-sized Polish companies, we have proposed the lowest tax in the European Union – 9% – and large corporations will pay a fair tax of 19%. This is a reduction in tax burdens while simultaneously caring for Polish entrepreneurs” – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the Congress 590 in Jasionka.

“Two years ago, we proposed a Constitution for Business, and later its implementation, which has been a reality for half a year. Now, you the entrepreneurs, know perfectly well that the most spectacular, visible economic changes, such as changes in demand, taxes, and one-off, soaring acts of economic law, do not change reality as much as what we call the impact on the supply side of the Polish economy, meaning freeing you from various shackles. This is not visible from one day to the next, but it is happening. It has become our reality, and this also causes our economic growth to contribute so clearly to the highest economic growth in Europe today,” said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during Congress 590 in Jasionka.

"In this octave of the centenary of our independence, our great celebration, I want to say that our eagle, the eagle of our economy, must soar as high as possible. I believe that through cooperation, such as has emerged and which we are showing can be possible, this eagle will soar high, as high as possible," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during Congress 590 in Jasionka.

“We have a very good situation in the banking sector. In the context of the irregularities that have recently emerged, we have acted decisively. We acted faster, significantly faster, immediately, simply put, compared to our predecessors. Documentation has been secured. All personnel changes have been implemented. A new acting [head of KNF] has been appointed. I am convinced that the situation will be clarified in a short period. Financial supervision institutions are operating correctly within the broader macroprudential context” - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a press conference in Jasionka during the 590 Congress.

– As promised, I would like to introduce you to a person who is not indifferent. A guy who has shown that values and a certain vision for the state, for the development of our country, are more important to him than positions, certain privileges, and a certain place in some structures. Krzysztof Gawkowski is with me, and as of today, he is joining the team I am building within the Biedroń Movement. A team that will be the best team in the world, made up of people like Krzysztof – stated Robert Biedroń at the briefing. Gawkowski will be responsible for building structures.

- Today in Poland, there is a choice between Civic Platform and Law and Justice, Law and Justice and Civic Platform. We are not condemned to live in a Law and Justice Poland that breaks democracy, disrespects the Constitutional Tribunal, and to which values and principles dear to people are alien. But we also do not deserve to be condemned again to choose Civic Platform, which, while it may not have broken systemic matters, forgot about the common person – stated Krzysztof Gawkowski at a briefing.

- Robert has entrusted me with the task of fighting for good structures. So today, Robert, I promise you that by February 3rd, which is the convention opening the political movement, the political party, the grouping that will be created in every district, Robert Biedroń's movement will have its structures, its representatives, not at the level of parties that will meet at gatherings, but we will encourage people to create a common idea with us. Not only through engagement, but through their ideas, projects, showing what kind of Poland they want in 2019 - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski at a briefing.

"We are dealing with another scandal. Moments ago, we attempted a parliamentary intervention at the KNF. The Act on the Exercise of the Deputy and Senator's Mandate grants us the right to parliamentary intervention in state administration bodies. The KNF is such a body. Unfortunately, representatives sent their lawyer, who informed us verbally that it is not a state administration body and would not admit us for the purpose of our parliamentary intervention" - reported Marta Golbik from PO.

"We will be addressing Prime Minister Morawiecki, to whom the KNF reports, to request the documents that we attempted to obtain during today's intervention" - she added.

"We must ask what the KNF has to hide, that today they sent us a lawyer who decided we could not enter the KNF today. We came here in good faith, on behalf of the citizens of the Republic of Poland, who expect us to clarify what is the biggest scandal in the history of the Third Polish Republic, namely the KNF affair" - argued Paulina Henning-Kloska from Nowoczesna.

- Krzysztof Gawkowski is heading out to the field starting today. He is to tour 380 districts and build structures everywhere. I already have structures in every electoral district, I have coordinators, both district and regional - said Robert Biedroń in a conversation with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- I'm a big supporter of SLD and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my older colleagues in faith to find themselves in parliament. They should also be represented. I support them, I'd like SLD to also have a place on the Polish political scene, because it's abnormal that there's no left-wing party in the Polish parliament - said Robert Biedroń in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

Warszawa - Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS) has officially recommended Witold Kozłowski, a local government official and businessman, for the position of Marshal of the Małopolska Voivodeship. The decision was announced following a meeting of the party's regional authorities.

Witold Kozłowski, who has been active in local politics for several years, is known for his pragmatic approach and commitment to regional development. His nomination is seen by many as a sign of the party's focus on continuity and stability in the region.

The Małopolska Voivodeship, located in southern Poland, is a significant administrative region with a rich cultural heritage and a growing economy. The Marshal is the chief executive of the voivodeship's self-government and plays a crucial role in its administration and development.

"We believe that Witold Kozłowski possesses the necessary experience and vision to effectively lead the Małopolska Voivodeship," stated a spokesperson for PiS. "His dedication to public service and his understanding of the region's challenges make him an ideal candidate for this important role."

The recommendation from PiS is a significant step, although the final appointment will be subject to a vote by the Małopolska Regional Assembly. However, given PiS's strong representation in the assembly, Kozłowski's appointment is widely expected to be confirmed.
