Monday marks the first day of the COP24 climate summit, which is being held in Katowice. Starting at 8:30 AM, the President will welcome leaders and state delegations, and at 10:00 AM, he will officially open the summit and deliver a speech. The plenary session is scheduled for 11:40 AM, followed by a press conference with the President and the UN Secretary-General at 12:30 PM. At 6:30 PM, Andrzej Duda will participate in a concert celebrating the centenary of Polish independence. Also scheduled for today are meetings between President Duda and the presidents of Slovenia, Montenegro, Nigeria, and Switzerland.

At 12:00 PM, the Sejm's Committee on Regulations, Parliamentary Affairs, and Immunities will address Stanisław Gawłowski's statement concerning the Sejm's consent to press criminal charges. The committee will also consider motions regarding Sławomir Neumann and Andrzej Halicki. Originally, the Sejm was to vote on a motion to grant consent for criminal prosecution and the application of pre-trial detention during the previous session, but Gawłowski renounced his immunity almost at the last minute. Consequently, the motion has been sent back to the committee for an opinion.

I have repeatedly said in our conversations that there are too many disputes in Polish politics, that they are too deep, that instead of being one nation, we are becoming two hostile tribes - stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego." He added:

"Prime Minister Morawiecki, incidentally, belongs to those PiS politicians, and I say this as a coalition partner, who have always tried to avoid escalating conflicts. Secondly, we should react to what is happening beyond Poland's borders, and we can see both the escalation of the war in Ukraine and major problems, internal perturbations within the EU. This is a moment when we, Polish politicians, should focus more on what unites us than what divides us."

- If anyone in Polish politics is acting strongly and ruthlessly today, it is rather opposition politicians - stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- We will win or lose these elections depending on how Poles evaluate the quality and honesty of our work. I have never questioned the thesis that sharp polarization serves the opposition - added the Deputy Prime Minister.

- In my opinion, quelling disputes is in line not only with the interest of the United Right, but with Poland's raison d'état. I cannot imagine Prime Minister Morawiecki making these types of declarations solely on his own behalf. The government is an emanation of a certain parliamentary majority, a certain camp, whose leading figure is President Jarosław Kaczyński – stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- We have reached a compromise with Brussels. For some of us, it's a bitter one, for me, less bitter. We'll see how it goes [from here]. We reached a compromise on the Supreme Court. As you may recall, I voted for that law, but I wasn't happy. And today it's clear that my predictions at the time have come true. The justice system needs reform, but it must be done by streamlining procedures, computerizing courts, and limiting jurisdiction - stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- So far, there are not only no proofs but even no indications that anyone else was involved in these scandalous behaviors [of the former KNF head] - stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- We appointed him [the KNF head] and we bear political responsibility for that. We supervised, but none of us had any knowledge that Marek Chrzanowski might make proposals that are certainly contrary to ethical standards, and perhaps, even quite likely, contrary to regulations as well - added the Deputy Prime Minister.

- I cancelled that meeting [with the US ambassador]. That is true, but I do not intend to speak about the motives, because Minister Kopcińska issued a statement on behalf of the Prime Minister and the government in this matter. Ambassador Mosbacher apologised, one could say, in any case, she expressed regret for her not entirely standard conduct, and I consider this matter closed - stated Jarosław Gowin in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- My colleagues, it seems to me, are thinking about this a bit too nervously. Taking anything out of the party to the outside, to the media, is simply reckless and unwise. It's very good that they [Warsaw SLD] adopted such a position, because everyone in the party has the right to voice their opinion. Let's leave the head of Warsaw SLD aside, one of 11 vice-chairmen, he has the right to his own opinion - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM, referring to the resolutions of Warsaw SLD revealed by 300POLITYKA.

Just as the president of every country should stand guard over the Constitution, so should the leader of every party stand guard over the principles of that party. I did not agree in Warsaw for SLD activists to run on the Civic Platform lists - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- I can cooperate with Civic Coalition and perhaps I will cooperate on partnership terms. Civic Coalition + SLD + PSL + other parties. This is normal. We've done this in several cities in Poland. For example, in Łódź or Lublin. There is no agreement for an SLD member to run on another party's list. There isn't, there wasn't, and there won't be. If anyone understands this differently, I invite them to join another party - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in a conversation with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

“Naturally, in our final year of governance, especially considering it is a year in which we will have European elections and then national elections, we will aim to make few changes, apart from those that are obviously necessary and related to the state of the Polish justice system or other areas requiring reform” – said the Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Adam Bielan, on Radio Jedynka. 

“We fulfilled 100% of the ECJ’s recommendations, so in our opinion, the subject of the dispute no longer exists. The complaint should be withdrawn from the ECJ. So far, it has not been. Let's wait for the final decision of the [European] Commission. The college of commissioners has not yet dealt with this matter. This case fits into the electoral calendar not only in Poland but also in the EU. Commissioner Timmermans is his faction’s candidate for the head of the EC, he has started his election campaign, and the dispute with Poland and Hungary is an important element of his electoral activities” – said the Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Adam Bielan, on Polskie Radio Jedynka. 

- The Democratic Left Alliance managed very well under the SLD-Lewica Razem banner. In Świnoujście, Gniezno, Częstochowa, Rzeszów, in many cities simply - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM. He added:

"I do not agree with the SLD cooperating with PiS at any level. I do not agree with SLD members running on other parties' lists. Incidentally, the same Sebastian Wierzbicki was over the moon when Ryszard Kalisz ran on the Europa Plus list, and he was in the SLD and we expelled him from the party. There must be consistency in this matter. There is no discussion on this matter."

“I am pleased with the ambassador's words of apology, which we could read in one of the weeklies. I hope this matter is now closed” – said the Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Adam Bielan, on Polish Radio's Jedynka.

At this moment, after three years, we have paid off the party's debt, and we have achieved a real 6.7% of the vote. This is the fourth result. I am not satisfied with this, but I know one thing: there are seven mayors with SLD credentials nationwide. This is the second-best result after Civic Platform - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- I am considering, like any politician, various options. Together with Civic Platform, Nowoczesna, and potentially with the Polish People's Party and other parties. We are considering many options. The first option we are considering is an agreement among all left-wing forces. We have had very successful talks with the Together party. Today I am meeting with the leadership of the Green Party in Wrocław. We are in talks with Robert Biedroń. The first matter and the first direction is a common left-wing list. Certainly, the Democratic Left Alliance will not be to blame if the list does not come into being, because we want it to. The second option we are considering is the one according to Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz's concept, which involves creating two fronts during the European elections. One pro-European, which would be formed by the Polish People's Party, Civic Platform, Nowoczesna, the Democratic Left Alliance, and other parties that would wish to join. The second would be parties led by PiS. There is a third option, we can also go it alone at any time - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

„It would certainly have been better, more spectacular, if the most important figures had come [to the climate summit], so treating their absence or non-attendance as good news is a mistake. The summit has many facets, so the presence of leaders is one, a very important part, but only one of many. I hope the discussions that have been prepared will yield some results and that this summit will be a success” - said former President Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.  „Poland - due to its policies - has become a less friendly place. The signal is that we had no guests on November 11th, that we are not invited to important discussions concerning regions like Ukraine, and another signal is that we lack attractive power. Poland does not have politicians who can pick up the phone and persuade Angela Merkel or Emmanuel Macron to come, because that's how it's done” - he added. 

"For 3 years we have lived in a country where divisions are becoming deeper. Unfortunately, I deeply regret this. Not only do we have two tribes, two bubbles, in which we live separately, but soon the most sought-after profession will be a translator from Polish to Polish, so that we can even communicate. When saying the same thing, we understand completely different things" - said former president Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- When it comes to Leszek Miller, I maintain a great distance. Because I treat him the same way as Mr. Cimoszewicz, Belka, Kwaśniewski, or the late Oleksy, as the identity of my party. I will never speak ill of him, and I believe that this is also the identity of my party. However, I would have some well-intentioned advice for Prime Minister Miller: I think his limit for nominating female presidential candidates in our country has already been exhausted - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM, referring to Leszek Miller's idea for Monika Jaruzelska to be the SLD's candidate in the presidential election.

I haven't been invited [to the three-year government review] yet. This week is packed with events. We have no Council of Ministers tomorrow, as a significant portion of the Council will be in Katowice for the climate conference - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Polityczne Graffiti". - We have over a hundred delegations, thirty heads of government, and it's very undiplomatic to make rankings. Arnold Schwarzenegger will certainly be an attractive guest - the minister added.

- It's hard to say today that Poland is not the most pro-European country in Europe. Let's look at what's been happening over the last few days near the Arc de Triomphe, let's see what's happening in Paris and what discussions are taking place in Germany. We understand our geopolitical position and strategic goals. Today, that goal is the European Community, which doesn't mean we don't want to discuss this community – stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News's "Polityczne Graffiti".

- I think it's worth discussing the euro area, but it's not a zero-sum game. Having the ability to conduct monetary policy protected Poland during the previous economic crisis from being at the core of that crisis. We emerged unscathed because we have significant attributes for conducting monetary policy. Joining the euro area is not an unrealistic prospect, but certain macroeconomic conditions must be met – added the minister.

I don't want to do anything for the liberals. I don't want to be in a relationship with Civic Platform on the basis of a praying mantis that eats its partner during intercourse. Not on one list. A coalition is a coalition. If it even comes to one - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- In my opinion, the best option is to create a left-wing list, based on our current partners: the Together party, the Green party, and Robert Biedroń's movement. I believe this would be best for Poland. This is because creating a two-bloc Poland, with PiS and Civic Platform, could potentially cause things important to social democracy – such as a secular state, civil liberties, and tax systems – to disappear from the political agenda for several years. Therefore, I would like to build a progressive bloc – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

“The inauguration of COP24 in the centenary year of the Republic of Poland regaining its independence and its return to the international arena is doubly important for me. Organizing the climate summit is proof that, just as reborn Poland did 100 years ago, our country today actively works for peaceful cooperation between states, based on the principles of respecting international law, equality, solidarity, and mutual respect. Secondly, just like 100 years ago, Poland is today ready to take its share of responsibility for international security. This time also in the dimension of climate policy. We are ready to support the negotiations planned for the next two weeks on decisions of key importance for our future and future generations” - said President Andrzej Duda during the inauguration of COP24 in Katowice. 

“The negative consequences of climate change are felt in all regions of the world, although to varying degrees. Halting them requires coordinated action and cooperation from all parties to the climate convention in the spirit of the Paris Agreement. Through international, solidarity-based cooperation, economic, scientific, and social development is possible at a global level. I am convinced that technological progress, which impacts the pollution of our planet and thus climate change, can simultaneously contribute to its purification, improving living conditions for people worldwide and enabling sustainable development” - said President Andrzej Duda during the inauguration of COP24 in Katowice.

„Utilizing domestic natural resources, and in Poland's case, coal, and basing energy security on these resources does not stand in contradiction to climate protection and progress in the field of climate protection. In Poland, greenhouse gas emissions are continuously falling, and the Polish economy is reducing its emissions intensity while developing dynamically” – stated President Andrzej Duda during the inauguration of COP24 in Katowice.

“We have all heard about how the President of the National Bank of Poland, Adam Glapiński, filed 6 applications for interim measures with the District Court in Warsaw to prevent the potential filing of lawsuits aimed at eliminating media articles describing the KNF affair from circulation. This is an affair that concerns corruption at the highest levels of power, reaching both the KNF and the most important figures from PiS. We all see how ineptly law enforcement agencies are acting in this regard, how the prosecution is failing, how the services subordinate to Mariusz Kamiński are failing. The only possibility of explaining this affair at the moment is through media information, as PiS expresses no will whatsoever to establish a parliamentary investigation committee in this Sejm term” – said Arkadiusz Myrcha from Civic Platform (PO) at a press conference in the Sejm.

“The action taken by the NBP President should be read clearly. This is an attempt to introduce censorship and sweep this matter under the rug. Filing applications for interim measures at a time when PiS has taken over the courts and control over them can directly signal that they will use them to prevent PiS's scandals from seeing the light of day” – he added.

“The action taken by President Glapiński exhausts the elements described in Article 44 of the Press Law, i.e., suppression of permissible criticism. Consequently, we are filing a notification with the prosecutor's office to initiate proceedings to determine whether President Glapiński is using his office to introduce censorship in Poland and restrict the media in terms of permissible criticism” – he explained. 

- I heard an allegation of exceeding authority. I pleaded not guilty. I also ask you to please not shorten my surname. Please use my full first and last name. This case was once investigated by an independent prosecutor's office. It was dismissed due to a lack of any evidence of breaking the law. The Prosecutor General changed, Zbigniew Ziobro became the Prosecutor General, and he recently announced that he would ensure I would hear charges. That is why, in a beautiful place like Jelenia Góra, there was also a prosecutor who brought such a charge. I expect a swift referral of the indictment to the court so that I can defend myself in court, because the matter is absolutely straightforward and is being stretched by the prosecution in this case - stated Sławomir Neumann in a conversation with journalists in Jelenia Góra.

The Sejm's legislative committee has positively reviewed and deemed the statements of MPs Neumann, Halicki, and Gawłowski to be formally correct concerning the expression of consent for criminal prosecution.

President Andrzej Duda will participate in the funeral ceremonies for George H.W. Bush.

This was announced by Minister of National Defence Mariusz Błaszczak on Twitter.

The President's Office also confirmed the participation of the Head of State on Twitter.

„The strength of a coalition lies in the fact that parties with different programs, goals, and values cooperate within it, united by something at the end. I believe that the vision of a common parliamentary club can also be a matter of responsibility and a way to find various paths to agreement and effectively defeat PiS. Yes, I am a supporter of a common Civic Coalition club. I believe that we should strengthen the Civic Coalition's banner, either by expanding it or by deepening it. I think that deepening this cooperation in the form of a common parliamentary club gives us the opportunity to send a clear signal to people that the KO is not a temporary creation for a single election, but a solid, real, political entity capable of defeating PiS in the autumn of 2019 and in the European Parliament elections” - said Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz, head of the Modern party's parliamentary club, in an interview with Tomasz Lis for Newsweek's online program. 

- No, I'm not afraid, because this case is entirely political. Please note: a few weeks ago, three weeks ago, the big KNF scandal broke out, we learned about those scandalous recordings where a PiS nominee demands a bribe, and suddenly Minister Ziobro emerges: ah, in a few weeks, one of the prosecutors will press charges against Sławomir Neumann. I ask, how did the Prosecutor General know three weeks in advance? Is he personally handling this case, does he personally have this knowledge, or perhaps Ziobro simply issued a political order for Neumann in this way? Perhaps the prosecution was dealing with this matter, but because the big KNF scandal erupted, they needed to cover it up with something, hence prosecutors were ordered to hastily bring charges against Neumann - stated Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" on Polsat News.

- This filing is obviously frivolous – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's program "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions), referring to PO's filing to the prosecutor's office today concerning Adam Glapiński. He added:

"No one can prohibit the publication of material. Only a court can do that. Every citizen has the right to do so, and President Glapiński also has the right to pursue this legal avenue. This is absolutely nothing extraordinary. Someone who files a report to the prosecutor's office stating that another citizen intends to exercise their right to seek a court injunction against the dissemination of false information, should not be involved in public life at all."

- Nothing happens twice. Poles won't be fooled the way they were in 2015. They are now three years wiser. It wasn't the opposition that called the European flag a rag. It wasn't the opposition that spoke of an imaginary community [about the EU]. It wasn't a deputy prime minister from the opposition, but from this government, who said that CJEU rulings don't need to be followed. These are facts we will present - stated Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

I can agree here – nothing happens twice. Poles will certainly not be fooled by this fake news from the Civic Platform a second time. This was fake news [about Polexit] that the Civic Platform used in the local government campaign. As can be seen, some residents, especially in large cities, were convinced that it was a real scenario. We are not leaving the EU anywhere – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" on Polsat News.

- We are discussing this [a joint list for the EP elections]. I think this will be one of the main topics of the convention, which it seems [SLD] wants to hold in January. I would advocate for it, especially since I believe that Robert Biedroń's experiment, which he is currently pursuing, is very interesting, the meetings, building a completely new approach for his own movement, he should be given a chance. He should even [go it alone] – stated Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions).

- It's no pleasure [3 seats in the EP if SLD goes alone]. I believe that a joint European list, which could win these elections and prevent PiS from claiming they've won for the fifth time in a row, is a psychological breakthrough, especially in the context of the parliamentary elections that will take place a few months later – added the former president.

- There is no chance in court for such a thing to stand, because it would contradict the constitutional principle that introduces freedom of speech in Poland, and if we are talking about a corruption scandal, then of course the media have the right to write about it, and any attempt to block this reporting will bring the opposite of the intended effects. I am convinced that whoever advised President Glapiński did not do a good job – stated Roman Giertych in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

„I am not planning to create any new party. I do not rule out running for the Senate next year. I will seek the support of opposition parties. We'll see, there is still a year to go” - said Roman Giertych in an interview with Monika Olejnik on "Kropka nad i" on TVN24. 

Giertych on Removal of NBP Articles: I have no chance in court for something like that to be upheld, as it would contradict the constitutional principle of freedom of speech. Kwaśniewski: A joint European list could win the European Parliament elections and allow us to tell PiS that we have won for the fifth time. Sasin to Kierwiński: Nothing happens twice. Poles will not be fooled again by fake news about Polexit. Kierwiński: Nothing happens twice. Poles will not be fooled by what they were fooled by in 2015. Sasin: The PO's notification regarding Glapiński is unserious. Kierwiński on charges against Neumann: This matter is entirely political. It was meant to cover up the KNF affair. Gasiuk-Pihowicz: The vision of a common parliamentary club can also be a matter of responsibility and seeking various paths to agreement and effectively defeating PiS. I am in favor of a common Civic Coalition club. Spychalski: The President will participate in the funeral ceremonies of George H.W. Bush. The Sejm committee positively opined and deemed the declarations of MPs Neumann, Halicki, and Gawłowski formally correct regarding consent to criminal prosecution. Neumann: I heard the charge of exceeding authority. I pleaded not guilty. PO files a notification with the prosecutor's office regarding Glapiński. Myrcha: The actions of the NBP president can be interpreted directly. It is an attempt to introduce censorship and sweep the KNF matter under the rug. https://300polityka.pl/live/2018/12/03/ ***** EVENTS ON POLSAT NEWS -- CLIMATE SUMMIT IN KATOWICE. -- POLAND STANDS BY COAL AND INTENDS TO CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. -- THE PRESIDENT WILL ATTEND GEORGE BUSH'S FUNERAL. -- LECH WAŁĘSA ALSO RECEIVED AN INVITATION AND - INTERESTINGLY - ASKED THE PRESIDENT FOR HELP IN ORGANIZING THE TRIP - Dorota Gawryluk. -- LECH WAŁĘSA ASKED THE PRESIDENTIAL CHANCERY AND THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS FOR HELP IN ORGANIZING THE TRIP - Agnieszka Milczarz: He sent the request this morning.
