At 9:30 AM in the Ministry of National Education (MEN), a press conference will be held by Minister Anna Zalewska and Deputy Minister Maciej Kopeć. The topic: additional solutions for teachers. Discussions with educational trade unions.
At 10:00 AM, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will meet with rescuers involved in the rescue operation at the Rudna Mine in Polkowice. Also at 10:00 AM, a hearing will take place before the verification commission for Warsaw's reprivatization.
At 10:15 AM, Nowoczesna will present its new film "You have the right" (Masz prawo). The spot aims to remind people of Nowoczesna's values and goals, focusing on 5 programmatic points: You have the right to be entrepreneurial, You have the right to a secular state, You have the right to choose, you have the right to clean air, you have the right to European values. We wrote more about the film on 300POLITYKA the day before yesterday.
At 11:30 AM in Gdańsk, the city commissioner, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, and the Marshal of Pomerania, Mieczysław Struk, will hold a press conference on the future and financing of the European Solidarity Centre (ECS).
The Sejm will resume its proceedings at 9:00 AM - there will be questions on current affairs. At 11:15 AM, current information is scheduled regarding Poland's energy policy, particularly the PiS government's halting of renewable energy development, in the context of electricity prices - at the request of the Nowoczesna club. These points were originally planned for yesterday but were moved due to delays in the proceedings.
In the afternoon, Senate committees will begin work on some of the bills that were adopted by the Sejm members during the night. At 5:00 PM - the "Mama4+" program and the bill concerning salaries at the National Bank of Poland (NBP), and at 5:30 PM - changes to the Electoral Code.
07:36
During a night voting session, MPs passed draft legislation concerning salaries at the National Bank of Poland (NBP), the "Mama 4 Plus" program, and amendments to the Electoral Code. The Senate will address these proposals at its Friday sitting. The Law and Justice (PiS) party, however, opted not to use the expedited procedure for the draft legislation regarding compensation for public media, which has been referred to the Culture Committee.
The next Sejm session – a continuation of the current one plus another – is scheduled for February 20-22. Furthermore, the Senate will not convene again until a month later, from March 20-22. If PiS does not decide on an additional Senate session after March 22, or another additional Sejm session before February 15, the issue of public media financing could be delayed until the end of March/early April.

You Can't Have a Bank Account, But You Can Have a Bank. It's a Luxury Few of the World's Richest Can Afford, and Kaczyński Probably Belongs Among Them
07:58
- I am building a social movement that will transform into a political party on February 4th. I have already raised enough money to organize an event at Torwar and to tour Poland. Several hundred thousand zlotys, which I raised thanks to the shop where people can buy t-shirts and hoodies. It works, it functions - stated Robert Biedroń in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego”.

Biedroń:
I Will Run for the European Parliament, Probably Not Take the Mandate, and Run for the Polish Parliament

Biedroń:
Poland's Political Curse is Our Constant Focus on Names
- The curse of Polish politics is that we constantly think in terms of surnames. What will the surnames be. And I would like us to think in terms of values, a certain moral backbone, which will give me the certainty that the people elected to the European Parliament will represent the values that are close to me and to the movement I am creating - stated Robert Biedroń in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - I will observe them until the last moment and will announce these names when I am 100% sure that it is these people - he added.

Biedroń:
I'm Not Close to Civic Platform at All. But If I Were to Form a Coalition in the Future, It's Obvious I'd Be Closer to a Coalition with PO, and a Coalition with Kaczyński is Unimaginable for Me
– Definitely not [I am not equidistant to PO and PiS]. I see what PiS is doing, and it is undoubtedly the biggest threat since 1989. No, I am not closer to either Civic Platform or PiS. No [not equidistant], I am not close to either Civic Platform or PiS. I am a progressive politician, and my values are different from those of conservatives who fraternize with Orban. My values are definitely different from Jarosław Kaczyński's, who, when it comes to progress, is its antithesis. Unless today's tapes reveal something new – stated Robert Biedroń in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".
– I am not close to Civic Platform at all. But if I were to form a coalition in the future, it's obvious that I would be closer to a coalition with Civic Platform, and a coalition with Kaczyński is unimaginable for me, because one cannot symbolically extend a hand to Kaczyński in politics, in political life – he added.

Biedroń:
People Believed in Kaczyński's Effectiveness. It's a Disaster, Because This Man Destroys Everything
08:27
- As Kaczynski says openly on the tape, that paying would be an action detrimental to the Srebrna company and the transfer of these funds from that company, it's a setup of this kind, where he agrees with the Austrian, that the Austrian will sue the company, and then Kaczynski will come and they will sign a settlement. If it comes to court, to a court case, he will testify in favor of the Austrian. These are fictitious actions, which, firstly, fictitious actions involving the court are a crime, of course, they must be, they should be. Furthermore, if the transfer of these funds from the Srebrna company, by paying the due amounts, because Kaczynski admits this, would be a crime, then it would be even more so a crime through fictitious actions - said Jacek Rostowski in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program 'Guest of Radio Zet'.

Dulkiewicz:
Reduced subsidies for ECS reflect public authority standards. This is a difficult, very difficult situation
„A difficult, very difficult situation. We are not talking about a higher subsidy, but about the one that has been granted to the ECS since its opening. [The reduction of subsidies] reflects the standards of public authority, when on October 25th, two months before the end of the budget year, an institution receives such information” - said the commissioner of Gdańsk, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on Radio TOK FM's morning program.
08:35
„Does memory have a price? Can the memory of Solidarity, the peaceful revolution that changed Gdańsk, Poland, Europe, and the world, be traded? This situation is emotionally unacceptable, and this is how the Prime Minister of the Polish government, a minister, behaves” – stated Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, the Commissioner of Gdańsk, in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM Radio's Morning Show.
08:38
"The goal is to take over the European Solidarity Centre, to tell its story in our own way to some extent. That's what it's about" - said Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, Commissioner of Gdańsk, in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on Poranek Radia TOK FM.
09:06
"The crafted image of an elderly gentleman in one pair of shoes, and with uneven laces at that, is simply untrue. He's not saying someone might get that impression" - said Sławomir Nitras from Civic Platform (PO) in a conversation with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM Radio's Morning Show.
09:07
Nitras:
Any other politician in Poland would today face CBA scrutiny and a prosecutor's investigation.
„Following what has been revealed, any other politician in Poland would today face CBA scrutiny, a prosecutor's investigation, and evidence seized by the CBA, ABW, and the Ministry of Justice. The problem is that if you look at the top echelons of power, at the coordinator of special services, at the head of the CBA, these are all people who worked at or for Srebrna. They are not focused today on revealing the truth, on making the state function. Quite the opposite. The entire state, all state institutions, are focused on proving that everything is in order” - Sławomir Nitras from PO said in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM Radio's Morning Show.
09:18
- Doubts that arose in the EU, that this act [concerning electricity prices] might infringe upon the operator's independence, and hence the need for solutions that will address the technical side of a certain negotiation process, and Minister Tchórzewski says he will prepare such a project. When the project is ready, it will likely be passed. It's not the most urgent matter, but I don't think it's a complicated project, and it won't affect energy prices - stated Marek Suski in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon". He added that energy prices are expected to remain at an unchanged level. - Fortunately, the European Union has not questioned energy prices themselves - stated the PiS politician.
09:26
Nitras:
All State Institutions are Focused on Protecting One Man
„All state institutions are focused on protecting one man, who formally and informally governs this state, who manages companies, and breaks the law on political parties” – said Sławomir Nitras from Civic Platform (PO) in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM Radio's Morning program.
09:31
Nitras:
Only removing Jarosław Kaczyński from power can allow this matter to be clarified legally
„Only removing Jarosław Kaczyński from power can allow this matter to be clarified legally. And the chance to remove Kaczyński from power is the public assessment of these facts. The political removal of Kaczyński from power enables a political trial for Kaczyński. In the interest of the state, which is in absolute crisis today, it is necessary to clarify [this matter]” – said Sławomir Nitras from Civic Platform (PO) in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on Radio TOK FM's Morning program.
09:55
Niesiołowski:
I haven't given or taken any bribes. It's a classic cover-up to hide Kaczyński and his tapes. A simple, banal matter. They invented it. A big operation.
„If the CBA wants to detain me, then go to Kamiński with it. I have no charges. I don't know [the businessmen]. It's about Kaczyński's cover-up. A classic cover-up to hide Kaczyński and his tapes. A simple, banal matter. They invented it. A big operation. I haven't given any bribes to anyone, nor have I taken any” – said Stefan Niesiołowski from PSL-UED in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

The content of the letter from Pomeranian parliamentarians to Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki:
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
We are writing to you with an appeal for the urgent decision to restore the state budget's previous level of funding for the activities of the European Solidarity Centre in Gdańsk in 2019 and subsequent years, in the amount previously declared by Deputy Prime Minister Piotr Gliński (and his predecessors), i.e., PLN 7,146,000.
The European Solidarity Centre is a public institution and a modern cultural facility that preserves the memory of the historical Solidarity movement. It also serves as a museum commemorating the Polish bloodless revolution of 1980-1989 and the fall of communism in Europe. It is a significant educational center, a place for meetings and debates, and for practicing solidarity and civic attitudes.
The European Solidarity Centre is also a place that reminds Europe and the world that the transformations in Central and Eastern Europe and the fall of communism began in Poland and in Gdańsk. The open, friendly space of the ECS headquarters is visited annually by nearly a million people from Poland and abroad.
We believe that all who invoke the legacy of Solidarity and feel connected to its ethos should support the activities of the ECS. In this situation, drastic cuts to this institution's budget, which may lead to equally drastic reductions in planned activities for the current year, must be perceived by the community of Gdańsk and Pomerania (as well as guests from Poland and abroad) as an act of political revenge against a defiant city and a defiant institution. This is especially true in a year when we will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the June 4, 1989 elections, the assessment of which in the narrative of your government and party significantly differs from that presented at the ECS.
However, the Polish national interest should supersede current political narratives. It is in its name that the ECS operates, and it is in its defense that we address this appeal to you, Mr. Prime Minister.
Sincerely,
Pomeranian Parliamentarians

This is the first in a series of films discussing the party's values. The creators are focusing the production's message around 5 freedoms: the right to be entrepreneurial, the right to a secular state, the right to choose, the right to clean air, and the right to European values.
- At Nowoczesna, we believe that every Pole has the right to live in a better Poland, has the right to personal freedom, economic freedom, and the right to Europe – this is how party leader Katarzyna Lubnauer introduced the spot.
During a press briefing organized for the spot's premiere, Nowoczesna politicians emphasized that the values presented in the film have been pursued for over 3 years in the Sejm in the form of legislative packages. - We have presented ready-made solutions that we will implement, but these are not all our proposals – Lubnauer stated.
- We want to get richer. We have the right to decent work and a European wage. We have the right to a state that wants to make our lives easier, instead of throwing obstacles in our way – Paweł Pudłowski said during the briefing. Therefore, he added, Nowoczesna advocates for increasing the tax-free allowance to PLN 15,000. - A higher tax-free allowance means more money in Poles' pockets – added the Chairman of the Nowoczesna Parliamentary Club.
Another value that the spot's creators refer to is the right to a secular state. -We have the right to a secular state, a state that is ideologically neutral, a state where no church controls the government, where no clergyman dictates laws to ministers or dominates public ceremonies – said Katarzyna Lubnauer.
In January, Nowoczesna submitted a bill prohibiting the financing of religious education from the state budget. The party leader also announced the submission of a bill concerning the abolition of the conscience clause from public healthcare facilities and an audit of the financial empire of Tadeusz Rydzyk. - We will check every zloty that has been transferred from the state budget to Rydzyk's foundation's account. And we will ensure that all abuses are punished – Lubnauer emphasized.
- The state cannot interfere in your life choices. The state cannot tell you how to live – says Monika Rosa in the spot. A modern state is also a state for every citizen. Nowoczesna will fight for marital equality. - The bill on registered partnerships, submitted to the Sejm, is only the first step – Rosa explained.
The MP also announced further efforts to liberalize abortion laws, recalling the bill on conscious parenthood submitted by Nowoczesna to the Sejm. - We also cannot remain silent any longer about women's rights, about the right to decide for themselves. The "Black Protests" stopped PiS's barbaric proposal, but today we must take another step – argued Rosa.
11:03
- This is an illustration of what we, the urban movements, often talk about – we have a cardboard state. A cardboard state where unclear and pathological rules govern the issuance of building permits. A cardboard state where one can call a bank director and arrange a loan over the phone. All of this demonstrates the weakness of state institutions, their politicization, but the problem is that our elites like it, our elites benefit from it, and this example, this non-obvious example of the skyscraper on Srebrna, where it's actually unclear why some skyscrapers are built and others are not, shows that this is not just Jarosław Kaczyński's problem, but a problem of our entire political class – said Jan Śpiewak in an interview with Piotr Maślak on Gazeta.pl's "Poranek".
11:07
Śpiewak:
"Zoning Conditions are an Absolute Pathology. If PiS Wanted to Learn Anything from this Scandal, They Should Abolish Them."
- You can also see here that the Warsaw City Hall and the Warsaw branch of Civic Platform are inconsistent, because in 2016, Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, in the plan that was being developed for this area, which had been in the works for 15 years, which already shows the pathology, agreed to the construction of a 180-meter skyscraper for one of the most important parts. So, this is a change of decision by the Warsaw City Hall, and I would like to hear an explanation as to why the Warsaw City Hall, first through Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, said that it was possible to build 180 or 190 meters there, and now Rafał Trzaskowski comes along and says 30 meters. This is complete arbitrariness, I absolutely do not understand it. A local spatial development plan should have been created there, which should have been consulted with the residents, and based on such a local plan, a building permit should have been issued. Zoning conditions are an absolute pathology that was allowed into Polish law in 2003, and it is an absolute scandal. If the Law and Justice party wanted to learn any lesson from this scandal, they should abolish these zoning conditions (W-Z) - said Jan Śpiewak in an interview with Piotr Maślak on "Poranek" Gazeta.pl.

„PO występuje do CBA z wnioskiem o pilne zbadanie oświadczeń majątkowych składanych przez prezesa PiS. Ujawnione dzisiaj kolejne nagrania z życiowego biznesu Jarosława Kaczyńskiego, jakim jest deweloperka, budowa wieżowca, pokazują prezesa PiS jako osobę o skłonnościach od manipulacji. Te nagrania potwierdzają prawdopodobieństwo dokonania oszustwa. Dlaczego w oświadczeniu majątkowym prezes PiS twierdzi, że nie prowadzi działalności gospodarczej, że nie zajmuje się prowadzeniem działalności? Domagamy się równości w prawie. Nie ma świętych krów” - mówił na konferencji prasowej w Sejmie Krzysztof Brejza z PO.
„W polityce najważniejsza jest wiarygodność, a najgorsze, co można zrobić, to oszukać własnych wyborców. To, co wyłania się z tych słów, to próba oszukania własnych wyborców, ukrycia faktów, utrzymania mitów co do osobistej uczciwości i skromności Jarosława Kaczyńskiego. Tej wiarygodności już nie ma. Ta wiarygodność upadła. Prezes Kaczyński na nagraniach przyznaje, że nie może pozwolić na to, żeby opinia publiczna dowiedziała się, że występuje w roli bardzo zamożnego człowieka” - mówił Cezary Tomczyk.
„Jest zastanawiające, że po kilku dniach ujawniania kolejnych taśm, dziwimy się, że CBA tą sprawą nie zajmuje się z urzędu. W państwie, w którym władzy zależałoby na transparentności, już po pierwszych nagraniach kontrola zostałaby wszczęta. Nie została zapewne dlatego, że większość ważnych pracowników służb specjalnych w przeszłości związana była ze spółką Srebrna” - dodawał Marcin Kierwiński.

Marshal Struk Increased ECS Subsidy by PLN 200,000, the City of Gdańsk by Half a Million. We Want to Set a Good Example
- The information presented by Prime Minister Gliński and Minister Jarosław Sellin, we would like to present together with Marshal Struk to the council of the European Solidarity Centre, because this is the body that sets the directions for the institution's work, but also deals with the acceptance of the financial plan. Next Saturday at 12 p.m., a special, extraordinary meeting of the council of the European Solidarity Centre has been convened, during which, together with the Marshal, we will present the details of the proposal from one of the institution's organizers, i.e., the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. The second piece of information I wanted to share with you is, as some of you may already know, the Marshal, as one of the organizers, has increased the subsidy for the European Solidarity Centre by PLN 200,000. New information: the city of Gdańsk is increasing its subsidy by PLN half a million, because we want to set a good example - said Aleksandra Dulkiewicz during a press conference at the ECS.

"As [Jakub] R. told me, the main goal for R. to be in that office was to settle Srebrna 16. The problem is that there are open restitution claims there, and as long as these claims are not resolved, it is impossible for anyone to build anything there," testified lawyer Robert Nowaczyk before the restitution commission.

The Łódź prosecutor's office intends to charge Stefan Niesiołowski with corruption. Investigators have already sent a request to the Marshal of the Sejm to waive the MP's immunity.
"Extensive and meticulously gathered evidence, obtained through, among other means, operational control, indicates that Stefan Niesiołowski, in connection with his role as an MP from January 2013 to the end of 2015, repeatedly accepted personal benefits in the form of sexual services in exchange for actions taken on behalf of companies belonging to businessmen he was acquainted with. As a result of Stefan Niesiołowski's efforts, companies, previously operating in the restaurant and hotel industry, secured lucrative contracts for the supply of coal fines and phosphates for Grupa Azoty Zakłady Chemiczne Police S.A.," the prosecutor's office informs in a statement.
17:29
- Personally, I am pondering the longer-term, more lasting consequences of the change in Mr. Kaczyński's image. Until now, he was the kind of guy who walked around with untied shoelaces, unfortunately sometimes with his fly undone, and now it turns out he's a fellow who, as the plenipotentiary of his secretary, conducts business worth one billion two hundred or three hundred million zloty - said Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM's "Political Interview".
- It seems to me that for many PiS supporters, these are quite simple people, this may be shocking. It was easier for them to accept a man with an unbuttoned shirt on his belly than a man who arranges such deals, and in such a convoluted way - Cimoszewicz added.
17:40
- The very fact that such a sensation explodes today, concerning events no older than four years, gave me the impression that it is a sign of some panic within PiS. An attempt to relativize everything and mix everything up, so that people would just shrug their shoulders or consider it all one big cabaret - said Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz in a conversation with Karolina Lewicka in TOK FM's "Political Interview".
18:46
- On January 30th, i.e., yesterday, President Andrzej Duda signed the budget bill for 2019 dated January 16th, 2019 - the Chancellery of the President announced.

Niesiołowski Announces Readiness to Waive Immunity. The Question Remains: Why Did the Prosecutor's Office Reveal the Entire Matter Today, Given the Alleged Acts Date Back to 2013-2015?

Further talks were held today with representative trade unions regarding the salary regulations for teachers. Anna Zalewska and Maciej Kopeć participated in the meeting on behalf of the Ministry of National Education (MEN).
- I am pleased that the conversation was constructive and fruitful, where everyone collectively acknowledged that we must care for the well-being of our children. We presented concrete figures that ultimately lead to a real increase in salaries. The goal of every meeting is to reach compromises, and I hope we managed to achieve a compromise today. We are meeting various expectations of trade unionists halfway – said the head of MEN.
As informed in the statement "Breakthrough in talks with teacher trade unions. We have an additional approx. PLN 1 billion for raises from September 1, 2019":
"After the president signs the budget law, the second tranche of the announced increase will be granted, with equalization from January 1st this year. Another, accelerated salary increase will occur already from September 1st of this year, not, as we previously assumed, from January 2020. Funds are secured in the budget for these commitments. Thus, within 21 months, teachers will receive a higher basic salary from PLN 371 to PLN 508 depending on their professional promotion level. Counting the salary indexation, these amounts will be from PLN 400 to PLN 548. In summary, teachers' salaries will increase by a total of 16.1% compared to March 31, 2018."
19:46
Zalewska:
I Encourage Trade Unions to Meet Us Halfway. That Halfway Point is PLN 500 in September
– First and foremost, I suggest and encourage trade unions to meet us halfway. That halfway point is PLN 500 in September, compared to what it was in March 2018. The budget has already been signed, as we hear. Consequently, from January, compared to March of last year, it will be PLN 300 in the minimum wage – said Anna Zalewska in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program 'Wydarzenia i Opinie' (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.
19:52
- We have the Law and Justice electorate for whom all these materials will not change their worldview. [Jarosław Kaczyński's perception, ed.] will not change for a simple reason. The description presented in Gazeta Wyborcza adds nothing new regarding knowledge about Jarosław Kaczyński - said Waldemar Paruch in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.
19:57
- This is a scandalous situation. Fundamentally, I really don't understand why they aren't letting Kaczyński build those two towers. I see no reason, especially since even taller towers are being built nearby, at a short distance – said Paweł Śpiewak in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.
20:27
Bartoszewski:
Politicians' Language Has Become Unacceptable. This Applies to Both the Ruling Party and Civic Platform. The Only Exception, a Glorious Exception, is the PSL.
- The language of politicians has become unacceptable in recent years, and this is partly a reflection of what's happening online. Certain things should not be said. This applies to both the currently ruling party and Civic Platform, which ruled previously. The only exception, a glorious exception in our Sejm, is the Polish People's Party (PSL) - stated Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski in a conversation with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program "Kropka nad i".
20:37
Bielan:
The Last Week Shows How Important This Year Will Be in Polish Politics. It's Clearly Visible That the Old Establishment Will Fight Fiercely.
- The last week shows how important this year will be in Polish politics, how important the European elections first, and then the parliamentary elections will be. It is clearly visible that the old establishment will fight very fiercely. It wants to return to power, and each of us Poles should consider whether they are living better today or lived better under the rule of Platforma - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Danuta Holecka on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

Paweł Śpiewak: This is a scandalous situation. I mean, fundamentally, why they aren't letting Kaczyński build those two towers, I really don't understand that very well.
Paruch on GW tapes: They won't change anything in the PiS electorate's perception of the world.
Zalewska: I encourage trade unions to meet halfway. This halfway point is 500 PLN in September.
Ministry of Education: A breakthrough in talks with teachers' trade unions. We have an additional approximately 1 billion PLN for pay rises from September 1st.

Cimoszewicz on the Niesiołowski case: It gave me the impression that this is a sign of panic in the Law and Justice party (PiS).
