- The problem with Civic Platform was not that they gave 98%, but that they withdrew from it after the election (...) And now it has been given again. And this is the credibility of Civic Platform, like Amber Gold. You are as credible as Amber Gold, nothing more - stated Andrzej Dera in Dariusz Ociepa's "Breakfast at Polsat News".

It's visible that the President [Andrzej Duda] has a gigantic problem, I don't know how he became a doctor of law. He has a gigantic problem with fundamentally respecting the law – stated Marcin Kierwiński in Dariusz Ociepa's "Breakfast at Polsat News".

The President's behaviour is embarrassing. If Minister Dera says that the president signed something he disagrees with because he feared a financial penalty, then that is truly unreasonable, and I can't call it anything else before Christmas Eve. I think President Andrzej Duda is behaving like a toddler – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Dariusz Ociepa's "Breakfast on Polsat News".

- The President has mainly compromised us so far, now he is harming Poland. He is leading Poland towards Polexit. I say this fully consciously. The President is harming Poland when he talks about the EU threatening our sovereignty - stated Bartosz Arłukowicz on TVN24's "Kawa na ławę".

- For some time now, we have been hearing the narrative that the ruling party is trying to lead Poland out of the EU. This is just your narrative, unconnected to any facts. You are trying to convince Poles that we want to leave the EU. No, I declare. The Prime Minister, the President have said this, and I and many others will repeat it: we have no intention of taking Poland out of the EU - stated Andrzej Dera on TVN24's "Kawa na ławę" (Coffee on the Table).

Additional Parliament Session. Friday's Sejm session will commence at 11:00 AM with the first reading of a government bill proposing a reduction in excise duty on electricity.

Subsequently, the Senate session will begin at 5:00 PM, addressing the aforementioned amendment.

Health Committee Session. During the additional Sejm session, the parliamentary Health Committee will convene on Friday at 1:00 PM. Health Minister Łukasz Szumowski is expected to present information "on irregularities that allegedly occurred in the Department of Pharmaceutical Policy and Pharmacy of the Ministry of Health, and on the off-site meeting of the Ministry of Health's leadership in Serock."

Possible Publication of Supreme Court Act Amendment. A few days ago, President Andrzej Duda signed an amendment to the Act on the Supreme Court – reversing the so-called 'pension purge,' meaning reinstating judges to their positions, including Małgorzata Gersdorf – but it has not yet been published in the Journal of Laws. It is possible that this will occur during the holiday period, perhaps as early as the coming week.

PAD in Greater Poland. On Thursday, President Andrzej Duda will visit the Greater Poland Voivodeship. At 12:30 PM in Poznań, he will participate in a Holy Mass for the intention of the Greater Poland Uprising participants. At 2:05 PM, he will lay a wreath on the grave of General Stanisław Taczak. At 4:40 PM, PAD will attend the ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the Greater Poland Uprising. Additionally, at 2:45 PM in Mosina, the President will participate in a patriotic ceremony honoring the Greater Poland Uprising participants.

- To be clear, the 98% rebate was a mistake. Because it means lower revenues for local governments, by, I believe, 1 billion 700 million PLN, but it should have been reinstated - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer on TVN24's "Kawa na ławę" (Coffee on the Bench). However, she admitted that during the campaign, a commitment was made that had to be honored due to the trust between citizens and local government.
