- Time for correction. The first step has been taken regarding the disclosure of these salaries. I believe this is an important step. And the second is, I think, self-reflection and a correction related to whether this remuneration is adequate for the competencies and duties performed – stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". As she emphasized, such a correction should be carried out swiftly.

Sikorski:
The Draw in Polls is De Facto a Victory for the European Coalition, as PiS is Favored in Surveys
- This draw that we have in the polls is de facto a victory for the European Coalition, because PiS is favored in the polls. We know this from the local elections. The polls gave the ruling party 39%, but they received 33%, because we have fear in Poland. For the sake of peace, people prefer to tell pollsters that they will vote for PiS - said Radosław Sikorski in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program 'Graffiti' on Polsat News.

- If we earned in euros, not as much as at the NBP, but normally, we could also take loans in euros, without risk. The interest rate in euro is 0.5%, meaning Polish families and Polish businesses would have significantly cheaper capital. This would be a great stimulus for the economy - said Radosław Sikorski in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

Radosław Fogiel's Work Was Very Good. Young People Will Have Their Place in This Campaign
- The recent Law and Justice convention, after we presented the lists, the one featuring PiS's new 'Fab Five' was quite a significant event, including online. It showed the potential that lies dormant online among PiS supporters, and it's natural that a political party must have someone to coordinate certain tasks. Before this convention, the coordination was handled by Radosław Fogiel, a councilor of the Mazovian Voivodeship Sejmik. He is a close associate of Mr. Chairman Kaczyński as well. Previously, he also headed European Young Conservatives. This work at the convention turned out very well. Naturally, the campaign staff will be coordinated by Tomasz Poręba - said Paweł Szefernaker in a conversation with Marek Kacprzak on Wirtualna Polska's program "Tłit".
- I assess that the work done by the team coordinated by Radosław Fogiel is very good. Young people have their place in campaigns, election staffs, and they will also have their place in this campaign - Szefernaker added.

„This ‘thirteenth’ is not a classic, additional pension, because the mechanism is completely reversed. It will be the same amount for everyone. The Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) must prepare changes in its system so that payments can be made by May 1st, so the system must be simple. The law must be processed quickly to be adopted in early April. There isn't much time” – Minister Elżbieta Rafalska said on Radio Jedynka.

- The role of the PSL in this coalition. Today we have too strong a turn to the right. So that there isn't too strong a turn to the left, which we might have feared if the PSL wasn't in this coalition. We will stabilize. Worldview issues are not at the forefront today. Everyone should decide according to their own conscience – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" (The Core of the Matter).

Our People's Party Social Package Will Include Provisions for People with Disabilities, a 500+ Equivalent for Each Person with a Disability for Rehabilitation
- When there was a protest by people with disabilities in this location, we signed a pact for people with disabilities. The first point in this pact was a 500 PLN rehabilitation allowance, support for people with disabilities who need rehabilitation. These individuals require rehabilitation daily. This is the group most in need today. They have been overlooked, forgotten. There are no support projects for them today. This isn't just about individuals under 18 years of age; it's about many adults, including older individuals. Within our People's Party Social Package, there will be a component for people with disabilities, a 500+ equivalent for each person with a disability for rehabilitation – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the Sejm.

Rafalska:
Disability Support System Based on Three Pillars: Solidarity Support Fund, Responsibility Package, and Accessibility+
„Last May, together with Minister Czerwińska, we presented a roadmap for building a support system for people with disabilities. This system was based on three pillars. One of the pillars was the solidarity support fund for people with disabilities. The second was the social responsibility package. The third pillar is Accessibility+” – said Minister Elżbieta Rafalska at a press conference.
„Ten programs have been planned, 3 days are related to services for people with disabilities, and 3 of them concern housing. Today, I signed one of these programs concerning care services for people with disabilities. This program is aimed at individuals with a significant degree of disability” – she added.

PMM:
I am immensely pleased we are at this moment of a wonderful police station rebuilding program, closed down by our predecessors
"I am immensely pleased that we are today at this moment of our program, a wonderful program of rebuilding police stations, previously closed down by our predecessors. In 2019, in July, we will still be enjoying and celebrating the centenary of Marshal Józef Piłsudski's decree on the reconstruction of the Polish police. Already today, we have the great joy of being able to show the actual reconstruction of police stations, police morale, and the creation of a formation that serves the security of Poles" - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Dubeninki.

We are constantly talking with Civic Platform regarding electoral lists, and I am convinced we will soon announce formal accession to the European Coalition
„We have submitted our accession [to the European Coalition]. We are constantly talking among others with Civic Platform in the context of electoral lists, and I am convinced that in the near future we will be able to announce our formal accession to the European Coalition” – said Ryszard Petru from Teraz! in an interview with Karolina Lewicka in „Political Interview” on TOK FM.
„We are discussing specifics: places on the lists and the names of people running, and the formula of operation, so that everything can be coordinated, so that the European Coalition speaks with one voice not only on European issues, but also on those that will be the subject of the election campaign” – he added.

We will check if 'Misiewiczes' and 'Rusycystki' are also crammed in there - stated Robert Biedroń in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

„I don't see it as PiS imposing any narrative. This topic was imposed not because there are European elections and a European campaign is coming, but because of Kaczyński's tapes, the Srebrna affair, the envelope which was - as the Austrian businessman said - handed over at Nowogrodzka Street. This [the so-called Kaczyński's Five Points] is an attempt to cover it up” - said Sławomir Neumann, chairman of the Civic Platform-Civic Coalition parliamentary club, in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions).

We're Collecting Candidates for EP Lists Until March 10th. Kopacz Will Choose Her Constituency. We'll Discuss Placements Later
„We are collecting candidacies until March 10th. I haven't seen [Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz's] application yet. I haven't seen a signed form from him. Without such an application, there is no discussion. There is no decision. Until March 10th, we are collecting proposals of people who could be candidates. From them or from regional boards of the Civic Platform. We will have this on the table by March 10th,” said Sławomir Neumann, the leader of the Civic Platform-Civic Coalition parliamentary club, in an interview with Polsat News.
„Prime Minister Kopacz will choose the constituency in which she will run. We will discuss placements later,” he added.

- People are like that. They think, well, I got 500 zł for my child and it's good because I deserved it, but that doesn't necessarily mean that out of gratitude I will vote for PiS. Please note that 80% of Poles will benefit from 500+, but far fewer will vote for PiS. People don't want to feel they are being bribed - said Bronisław Komorowski in an interview with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program “Kropka nad i”.

PLN 1.3 Billion from the State Budget for Public Television Should Be Counted Towards PiS's Election Campaign Spending
- Public television is losing viewers, but it's receiving money. You know, this 1.3 billion PLN from the state budget, which means from our money again, including the money of PiS's opponents or indifferent people, is being given to Mr. Kurski's television. In my opinion, this should be included in the balance of money spent on the election campaign by Law and Justice - stated Bronisław Komorowski in an interview with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program "Kropka nad i".
