Monday's Political Agenda: 300 Days of Morawiecki's "Five-Point Plan", Schetyna on the "Kaczyński Affair", Justice Committee on Vote of No Confidence in Ziobro

At 8:30 AM in Warsaw's Praga-Południe district, the "300 Days of Morawiecki's Five-Point Plan" campaign will kick off, which we wrote about on 300POLITYKA. The head of government will visit Raszyn (at 10:00 AM, with Minister Andrzej Adamczyk), Białobrzegi (at 11:30 AM, with Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz), Jedlińsk (at 12:15 PM, with Minister Jerzy Kwieciński), and Zagańsk (at 2:10 PM, with Minister Teresa Czerwińska), respectively. In each location, the Prime Minister is expected to demonstrate how the promises made as part of the so-called "Morawiecki's Five-Point Plan" are being implemented in practice. At 4:35 PM, a meeting between the head of government and a large family is planned in Gołcza.

At 9:30 AM in Wrocław, Civic Platform leader Grzegorz Schetyna will issue a "statement regarding the Kaczyński affair".

At 2:30 PM in Warsaw City Hall, a declaration in support of the LGBT+ community in Warsaw will be signed. The meeting will be attended by the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, Aldona Machnowska-Góra, the coordinating director for culture and social communication, and representatives of organizations representing the LGBT+ community. 

At 6:00 PM, the parliamentary Justice Committee will issue an opinion on the PO-KO club's motion for a vote of no confidence in Minister Zbigniew Ziobro. The justification cites, among other things, scandals surrounding SKOKs (cooperative savings and credit unions) and the Financial Supervision Authority, and accuses him of violating the rule of law. 

A two-day summit of the Visegrád Group and Israel begins in Jerusalem. Poland will be represented by Minister Jacek Czaputowicz. Yesterday, the wPolityce.pl portal reported that the Prime Minister had informed Benjamin Netanyahu by phone about his absence. Earlier, the government had accepted Jerusalem's explanations regarding the Israeli Prime Minister's statement on Thursday about punishing those who accuse Poles of collaborating with Germans during the Holocaust.
