The European Parliament will vote on the directive on copyright in the Digital Single Market, known as ACTA2. This will be the final vote on the directive, which, according to a growing number of critics, will introduce de facto internet censorship. The voting block in the European Parliament will begin at 12:30 PM and last until 2:30 PM.

At 12:00 PM, the VAT investigative committee will question Jerzy Martini, a former member of the Tax Law Consultative Council at the Ministry of Finance.

The government session will commence at 10:00 AM, and ministers will address, among other matters, the regulations introducing a one-off benefit for pensioners and disability pensioners, the so-called "Emerytura Plus" (Pension Plus).

At noon, the Presidential Couple will participate in the third edition of the Summary of the "Action to Aid Poles in the East." At 3:35 PM, the President will visit a pharmaceutical plant in Wrocław, and at 5:30 PM, he will meet with the residents of Wołów.

At 4:30 PM, the parliamentary constitutional accountability committee will convene. The agenda includes the item "assessment of evidence collected in the case of the preliminary motion to bring the President of the Supreme Audit Office, Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, to constitutional responsibility before the State Tribunal," as well as current affairs. The session will traditionally be closed to the media.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will examine today – at the initiative of the Commissioner for Human Rights – the first extraordinary appeal. The case concerns inheritance rulings within a farming family. The hearing begins at 1:00 PM.

- Today, more and more decisions, important decisions, are made in Brussels. Important decisions for Poland, of course. The party leadership, with my approval and request, of course, agreed that I would be a candidate for the European Parliament. I am one of many deputies. It would certainly be very difficult to obtain a mandate in a difficult district for us, because one can never have too much humility. We are currently enjoying high approval ratings in the polls, but as Jarosław Kaczyński said on Saturday in Wrocław, you don't win elections with polls, but with hard work - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- We decided that to defeat our competitors and put up a strong fight in the West Pomeranian-Lubusz constituency, we need a strong list. Hence my presence on the list, the presence of Minister Rafalska, Minister Golińska, and MEP Hoc - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I am not ashamed of those words [addressed to Jacek Kurski regarding the EP], which is why I haven't deleted them [from Twitter]. However, by running for the EP today, I hope that together with my colleagues, we will have a real impact on what happens in the EP - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I am absolutely satisfied with the earnings I achieve as a national parliamentarian, a minister today. Let's leave it at that. Life in Brussels is more expensive, as you know, Mr. Editor, firstly, and secondly, I am truly not going to Brussels to improve my financial status. I want to work very hard there. If I deserve the votes of the residents of West Pomerania and Lubusz Voivodeship, I assure you: it will not be a wasted mandate, and I will strive to earn this salary very diligently, hard, and substantively - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I've been hearing about taking over the party since 1991. When I joined Porozumienie Centrum back then, I was already hearing that Jarosław Kaczyński was a burnt-out politician, and he was 40 years old then, an old politician who would no longer play any role on the political scene. Let's drop this numerology. I am one of several vice-presidents, and being in the European Parliament doesn't mean I'm resigning from co-leading PiS. I have no intention of emigrating to Brussels - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- Certainly before the elections, I will want to ask the Prime Minister for leave during this most intensive campaign period, which is in May, after the May long weekend. However, when I relinquish this mandate or position will depend largely on the voters, whether I achieve the mandate of a Member of the European Parliament, and secondly, or primarily, on the Prime Minister's decision - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- The Prime Minister, in consultation with our party's leader, Jarosław Kaczyński, will decide who my potential successor will be - added the Minister of the Interior and Administration.

- [Marek] Falenta will be caught, brought in, and my predecessors, including those politicians who, like last-minute bunglers, let themselves be recorded in the Sowa & Przyjaciele [Owl & Friends] bar, perhaps their blood pressure will drop, and even certainly their blood pressure will drop. Falenta will be brought to custody and prison, the police will manage - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".

- That is not true [that PiS gave PLN 1.3 billion to TVP for propaganda]. Television is not just TVP Info, it's also many other programs, regional centers, as well as information about what's happening on the ground, in individual voivodeships. It's also culture, history. Yes, I like [TVP's 'Wiadomości']. I watch television very rarely. I watch TVN and I don't like TVN. I watch all the news. I try to compare - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- The funds for Jarosław Kaczyński's 'Five' are in the budget. No, not [from the deficit]. I'm talking about this year. The budget is doing well, I am convinced that strong economic growth will also continue - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- I deeply respect the work of teachers. I would like to say that. It is very hard work - stated Stanisław Karczewski in a conversation with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM. - In previous years, the Civic Platform government did nothing for teachers. Not only that, the number of teachers and schools decreased - he continued. As the Marshal of the Senate emphasized, he would like teachers to earn really well, and that is the goal.

We will never achieve, and no one can achieve, no government can achieve, the elimination of all queues. The doctor and the staff working there should perform appropriate selection. Seeing such a patient, intervention should be immediate. Patients who come in, and who actually come in sick, with minor ailments, with trivial ailments – these create a bottleneck in the emergency departments. That is the bottleneck – stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM, referring to the death of a patient in the hospital in Sosnowiec. - I know there are [queues]. Certainly, this situation will not change from minute to minute, nor from day to day, nor from year to year... – he continued. – But it is very important, significant: that there should also be nighttime and holiday care to relieve the burden on emergency departments – and we have done that – added the Marshal of the Senate.

"I have spent a very long time on European integration matters, and this could be an argument both for and against," said Deputy Minister Konrad Szymański in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet. "This market of names shows that PiS has a very wide bench of various candidates who would certainly prove themselves in the function of a commissioner in specific fields. Because all these candidacies also have their political profiles, professional profiles. So this shows that we have people to choose from."

„For an agreement to be reached, both sides must want it. From the side of the three trade union centers, practically one argument is put forward: one thousand zlotys, which in the annual scale, with all derivative allowances, amounts to approximately 17 billion zlotys. The government proposes an increase in September. We are currently in the process of implementing a salary increase for teachers and we want to accelerate the increase that was planned for January of next year, to September” - Deputy Prime Minister Beata Szydło said on Jedynka radio. 

„We want to appeal to teachers not to consider a strike during the examination period, because this is a blow to young people” - said Deputy Prime Minister Beata Szydło on Jedynka radio - „I have the impression that he [Broniarz] is motivated by political intentions”. 

Of course, [Poland in the EU] should remain. I am of the opinion that we should not be outsiders of the EU. We should not propose breaking up the EU, but rather wait and together lead a reform, based on which the EU will be reshaped into EEC states - stated Marek Jakubiak in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus. - We want a return to the EEC, which means we simply want a return to common trade, no borders, and that's nothing strange - he added. - The Union must be reformed. Korwin-Mikke believes that in the end it will fall apart anyway, so one can boldly speak of its disintegration. Nationalists talk about Polexit because they are aware that the EU will not survive in its current form. But they are going to the EP to simply reform it - Jakubiak emphasized.

- We always arrive at results gradually. I think the danger of a strike during exams is serious enough that some positive resolutions will occur beforehand. The government cannot afford a 1000 PLN increase all at once, but various increases have already happened, various proposals for teachers - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with TVN24.

- The ZNP headquarters is like a representation of the political opposition. Of course, the ZNP headquarters, but I think that assessing social sentiment and citizens' attitudes towards the proposed strike, they will also be willing for serious talks - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with TVN24.

"It cannot be the case that the government is downplaying this teachers' protest, as it is currently doing, as we saw yesterday. We are in a dramatic situation also because the government is manipulating numbers and facts, and on top of that, it is trying to pit teachers and unions against each other. This is unacceptable and shameful. The chairman of 'Solidarity', Piotr Duda, is playing a very strange role. Teachers from 'Solidarity' support the strike, they are active participants in this protest, even in the most dramatic form - through a hunger strike" - said Andrzej Halicki from Civic Platform at a press conference in the Sejm.

"Yesterday, the whole of Poland held its breath, and certainly parents, teachers, and students held their breath. We are in the situation of the greatest crisis, the greatest conflict in decades. Everyone expected these last-chance talks to be serious. The government put on a farce. The ministers arrived at the meeting unprepared, without concrete proposals, repeating what has been known for a long time. These are not serious solutions and proposals. Suddenly, in the middle of an election campaign, Prime Minister Szydło appeared unprepared, without any concrete proposals" - added Krystyna Szumilas.

- Ordinary members of "Solidarity" are walking hand in hand with us. The fact that the "Solidarity" leadership has a different view is a problem for the "Solidarity" leadership. We down here work together, we are organizing this action together, we are striking. I don't think I have the standing to judge "Solidarity". I am not entirely convinced that the decisions made in the education section of "Solidarity" are decisions that are approved by the leadership, i.e., by Piotr Duda. All I can say is that teachers are protesting here, and Mr. [Piotr] Duda should attend to his own affairs and not interfere with teachers' matters – stated Sławomir Broniarz in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Polityczne Graffiti". According to the head of ZNP, Duda is trying to "position this protest according to his own expectations".

- With great joy, I can share the information today that the Council of Ministers has adopted the draft bill concerning "Emerytura Plus". Our seniors, our pensioners, our mothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, fathers are the custodians of our tradition. They have passed on all their knowledge to us. It is also this love that they have showered us with, and today, within our means, we want to provide pensioners with certain additional funds. This is precisely the minimum pension, "Emerytura Plus", for everyone in the same amount, as it seemed a bit fairer to us to divide it in this way. If someone has a slightly higher pension, they will also receive the same amount as someone who receives a lower pension - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. He added:

"Generally, in our economic and social program, we focus on dignified earnings for Polish families and Polish employees. We talk about European levels of earnings, and from the perspective of those who are no longer working, we want their pensions to be increasingly dignified year by year, taking into account various aspects, especially the rise in prices, but also economic growth. And this year is the first year in 30 years where we have such a triple action. For pensioners, action for pensioners that benefits all pensioners. Firstly, it was a cash indexation, at least by PLN 70 per month. When you multiply that by 12, it's PLN 840 annually, and this was something that was also noticed as beneficial for those pensioners who receive the lowest pensions. The second aspect, an element of our program for pensioners, is precisely what we are presenting to you today, namely "Emerytura Plus". And the third is the reduced PIT in the autumn, because with the reduction of PIT from 18% to 17%, mathematically speaking, that's a 6% reduction, and thus it's a noticeable amount. Again, it will be slightly different for those who have pensions of PLN 2500, 2800, 3000, and different for those who have PLN 1500 or 1700, because that's how taxes work, but for everyone, it will proportionally be a small, negligible, but still a financial boost in the autumn. Thus, our triple actions are, in my opinion, very important and good."

Credibility is absolutely priceless to us. So while some are looking for dictatorship in Poland, we are increasing pensions and will certainly continue to do so in the coming years. This program to improve the fate of retirees is planned for many years. Emerytura Plus (Pension Plus), our current program, is an expression of immense gratitude. It is not, as some say, mainly our political competitors, a gift. I absolutely do not call it that and I disagree with calling it that. It is something that is meant to improve your fate, even just a little. You built Poland, you rebuilt Poland after World War II, then through the difficult years of the Polish People's Republic, when you had to queue for practically everything, in times of scarcity, you raised us, and this is something that must be appreciated – that you laid the foundations for a free, strong Poland. Retirees are also the authors of our current economic success, through which we try to give back to retirees as much as we can in our social programs. The fact that Poland is flourishing beautifully today and is becoming stronger year by year is also thanks to retirees – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

The European Parliament has voted on the directive on copyright in the Digital Single Market, also known as ACTA2. This will be the final vote on the directive, which – according to a growing number of critics – will introduce de facto censorship on the internet.

The budget isn't bottomless. The budget isn't elastic. What we have managed to achieve now is also strongly connected to the repair of public finances and the elimination of certain ailments, because Poland suffered from certain ailments, and its finances and economy were previously sickly. That's how I see it. We have brought these outbreaks of disease under control, and thanks to this, there are funds for the " wyprawka " for children, for the 500+ program for the first child, for various social groups, for pensioners' " Emerytura plus " [Pension Plus]. The Local Government Roads Fund, a very developmental one, with 5-6 billion PLN for local government roads, for local governments. The Bus Connection Reconstruction Fund – another developmental fund. The tax cut I mentioned also entails further expenses, and there are limits to budgetary possibilities somewhere, so as to stay within the deficit – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

- The budget deficit is an important issue, and we are strictly adhering to the EU, European frameworks. We want to stick to them. I even brought a chart with me. This is a chart of the deficit of the entire public finance sector, meaning the deficit that the EU looks at. When you see these deep red bars, those are the years of PO and PSL. The deficit reached 8% [of GDP]. It exceeded 7%. Then it fell to around 5%, then around 4%, then it rose again to over 4%. This means that in at least six out of the eight years of our predecessors, the allowed threshold of 3% was exceeded. Here, the Cassandra-like prophecies of our political opponents emerged at the beginning of 2016, stating that the deficit would grow. Meaning these red bars should lengthen again. Meanwhile, the deficit decreased during our government's tenure, despite the major social and development programs we initiated. Now, we have ambitions to keep ourselves as much as possible within the bounds of the budget deficit this year and next, 2-3% [of GDP], not to exceed 3%. However, the fiscal impulse we implemented is itself around 2% of GDP. Therefore, the assumption of an increase in this deficit is something entirely natural. As I discuss with economists, financial institutions, or in Brussels, for example, recently at the European Council, this is something absolutely understandable and is confirmed as a fundamental macroeconomic action in the context of economic cycles and our specific economic cycle we are currently in - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

- Indeed, a deficit occurred in February, and this deficit will likely persist until the end of the year. This is because we soon have "Emerytura plus" (Pension Plus) and we will be financing that as well. There is a certain level of expenditure assumed in the budget, and we operate within certain frameworks here, the Public Finance Act, etc. - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

- Today there was a very constructive, positive discussion with the Minister of Finance at the Council of Ministers, tomorrow we have another session with the Minister of Finance, and indeed with the Minister of Family as well, where we will discuss 2020 and 2021, because we are responsible for the stability of public finances on the one hand, and on the other hand for the fastest possible economic development under the current circumstances, which will translate into social goals, intergenerational solidarity, social cohesion, and social inclusion - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

- The deficit, compared to last year, will most likely increase. Both this year and next, but when compared to what our predecessors maintained in their years, we will certainly not only not reach such levels, but we will strive to decisively keep within those limits, which are most important from the EU's perspective, i.e., a 3% budget deficit - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

“It must be emphasized that PiS is for expanding the area of freedom, therefore we always stand on the side of freedom and on the side of rights. We believe that first and foremost, we must prioritize human freedom and freedom on the Internet. That is why we advocate for expanding areas of freedom, which is why we firmly say 'no' to censorship on the Internet” - stated MEP Jadwiga Wiśniewska from PiS in Strasbourg.

- I am not familiar with the course of the vote. Personally, I voted 'for', and what's more, I worked on this directive from the very beginning. It, as you know very well, was handled by the legal committee of the European Parliament, of which I had the honour of being a member 15 years ago - stated Tadeusz Zwiefka at a briefing in the EP. Meanwhile, another PO MEP, Michał Boni, wrote: - We failed to remove Article 13 from the final text of the directive. I am very sorry that the voices of so many European citizens were not taken into account. https://twitter.com/MichalBoni/status/1110511776985165824

The draft bill concerning a one-time monetary benefit for pensioners and disability pensioners in 2019 – the so-called "Emerytura Plus" (Pension Plus) from Kaczyński's "The Five" package – was adopted by the government today. It has already been sent to the Sejm and referred for an opinion to the BL. MPs are expected to address the proposal at an additional Sejm session next week.

UPDATE: The draft has already received its Sejm print number and has been referred for its first reading to the Sejm Committee on Social Policy and Family.

18 MEPs from PiS voted against the adoption of the controversial copyright directive, which critics argue includes internet filtering, a link tax, and copyright for photos from sporting events and matches: Ryszard Czarnecki, Edward Czesak, Anna Fotyga, Beata Gosiewska, Czesław Hoc, Marek Jurek, Karol Karski, Sławomir Kłosowski, Zdzisław Krasnodębski, Urszula Krupa, Zbigniew Kuźmiuk, Ryszard Legutko, Stanisław Ożóg, Bolesław Piecha, Ryszard Piotrowski, Tomasz Poręba, Jadwiga Wiśniewska, Kosma Złotowski and - as the nineteenth: Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, who ran on the PiS list but is an independent in the European Parliament. All PSL MEPs voted against: Andrzej Grzyb, Krzysztof Hetman, Jarosław Kalinowski and Czesław Siekierski. In PO, only the following opposed the directive: Michał Boni, Danuta Jazłowiecka, Adam Szejnfeld and Róża Thun. Among SLD deputies, the following were against: Lidia Geringer de Oedenberg and Adam Gierek.

Only PO politicians voted for the adoption of the directive among MEPs from Poland: Tadeusz Zwiefka, Bogdan Zdrojewski, Marek Plura, Julia Pitera, Barbara Kudrycka, Agnieszka Kozłowska-Rajewicz and Danuta Huebner, as well as Kazimierz M. Ujazdowski, who is currently associated with PO. The rest of the Platform's deputies did not vote at all. Krystyna Łybacka did not vote from the SLD. Abstained: SLD MEPs: Janusz Zemke and Bogusław Liberadzki.

- The European Union. I am immensely glad that we are in it. Just as our Holy Father John Paul II urged us, who said we should join the European Union when the matter was before the referendum. That we should go, but that we should remember our faith and our values, that this is what the European Union truly needs from Poles and Poland today. I ask that no one in our country who seriously regarded this greatest Pole forgets these words. Because today attempts are being made to steer us in a completely different direction. And this is not a good direction. We must uphold these very values and we must carry these values - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting with residents of the Wołów district.

- There are social groups today that require support. More precisely, they simply require ordinary appreciation. Teachers belong to such groups. Do teachers in Poland earn well? Ladies and gentlemen, no. Teachers in Poland do not earn well. Everyone knows this perfectly well. Is the quality of education in Poland good? It is not as good as we would expect, and it must constantly be improved. This must happen in a certain correlation. We want, I greatly want, teachers to earn more, but I also want Polish schools to be of the highest quality - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting with residents of the Wołów county.

“I cannot say that I do not respect [the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling on the National Council of the Judiciary], because I myself am a retired judge of the Constitutional Tribunal, but on the other hand, I am aware of what many constitutionalists emphasize and raise, and I myself realize that there are individuals in the Tribunal who have been elected to occupied seats” - said judge Wojciech Hermeliński, the outgoing chairman of the National Electoral Commission, in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM.

“I will not say, like one representative of the authorities about a previous ruling, that it is an opinion issued over coffee and cookies, but the accusations that appear and will appear, that the ruling was issued by a court improperly constituted, will recur. I would not like to define it that way, but, unfortunately, such is the reality. The accusations concerning this ruling, that it was issued by individuals who should not have participated in issuing the ruling, will be repeated” - he added.

- Can we say girl, boy? A daughter, a son? - Bogdan Rymanowski asked Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on the program 'Wydarzenia i Opinie' on Polsat News.

- Everything points to a daughter, though much still lies ahead - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

- I believe that if any change were to be made to this program, it should be a limitation for the wealthiest. I would offer different incentives for a faster return to professional activity. In my opinion, this is unnecessary. We signed a declaration, which Platforma also signed, that we will leave the existing programs as they are - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Wydarzenia i Opinie' on Polsat News.

- If an agreement isn't reached by April 8th due to the government's fault, I will ask President Broniarz to postpone the strike, not to coincide with the exams, but to take place immediately after these exams, so that the strike happens, but not during the exams - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.

"I am prepared for any eventuality. I am not welded in. If any judicial body, in this case a disciplinary body, determines that I have violated the law in some way, I will of course agree to it. Thank God I am a healthy person and I would truly manage. This is not the only field where I could find fulfillment. However, should we pack our bags? That would be, I would say, very dangerous and a double-edged sword, because you know that the voter's favor, as they say – rides on a piebald horse, and the situation could return, and excuse me, what? And again, the principle of revenge? Well, surely that's not the way forward" – stated the spokesperson for the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), Maciej Mitera, in an interview with Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz for Wyborcza.pl, when asked about the opposition's announcements that if they win the election, they will reverse all changes and the National Council of the Judiciary will have to pack its bags.

In my opinion, the Constitutional Tribunal is appointed for this, despite these labels, substitutes, neo-KRS, neo-Tribunal. There is a certain order, and I believe that the body authorized to do so has spoken, and since it has spoken, it's the Roman example, causa finita - stated Maciej Mitera in an interview with Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz on Wyborcza.pl. When asked what would happen if the EU's Court ruled precisely the opposite, that the KRS is illegal: - This needs to be analyzed. I respect the rulings of all authorized bodies. Please note that the ECJ, Luxembourg, has its own powers here in the context of examining the EU system. Our Tribunal is appointed for something else. The ECJ is not an extraordinary Constitutional Tribunal, a court for everything, as it were. It has its competences, our Tribunal has competences. Let's not run ahead of ourselves. We will see and consider this ruling. - I am not among the rulers. I am a judge, a representative of this third branch of power. These are decisions for the rulers. Please ask government representatives - added the KRS spokesperson.

- Platforma [Civic Platform] today struck together with those who violated freedom of speech, they struck at freedom of speech. But also at credibility, because we remember that just a few days ago, Platforma said they would never agree to freedom of speech being violated. This is the credibility of Platform politicians. They say one thing, do another - said Beata Szydło in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

We are aware that these salaries are too low and need to be increased, but we are doing it successively and within the budget's current capabilities, which cannot afford to allocate an additional 17 billion [zlotys], as that's how much it would cost. But we want to propose other solutions. Beyond this raise, because I'll remind you again, the raise that was planned for next year will be implemented in September. Additionally, we want to talk about other solutions, and we are also awaiting proposals. I believe we will reach an agreement. Currently, the priority and the most important matter are the students' exams, so they can take place - said Beata Szydło in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on TVP Info's program "Gość Wiadomości".

- I sometimes get the impression that Chairman Broniarz is more of a politician than a union leader. Besides, his appearances with Civic Platform politicians and in various other political forums are already widely known. Let's not forget that Mr. Broniarz also has his own union elections this year. He himself confirmed that he has been the head of the union for 24 years. This year he will be running for re-election - said Beata Szydło in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on the TVP Info program "Gość Wiadomości".
