At 10:00 AM, the European Coalition convention will take place in Szczecin. At 12:00 PM, also in Szczecin, the regional convention of PiS will be held with the participation of party leader Jarosław Kaczyński and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

At 10:30 AM, a media briefing is scheduled at Szczecin-Goleniów Airport with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Minister of the Interior and Administration Joachim Brudziński, and the West Pomeranian Voivode Tomasz Hinc.

At 1:00 PM, the opening of the radiotherapy unit at the Provincial Hospital in Gorzów Wielkopolski, a visit to the new Emergency Department (SOR), and a tour of the Air Ambulance base will take place. Civic Platform leader Grzegorz Schetyna will participate in this visit. At 1:30 PM, a European Picnic will be held in Rose Park.

- Here in Szczecin, as visible under a magnifying glass, is the indolence of the PiS government. It will soon be two years since the keel was laid for the ferry construction. Everyone is talking about it, not just here in Szczecin, but across the country. During this time, practically nothing has happened there. This piece of metal continues to rust more and more, and Prime Minister Morawiecki and Minister Brudziński do not have the courage to admit their mistake and apologize for this propaganda. Meanwhile, thanks to effective negotiations by the provincial board at the EU level, we have provided local shipbuilding companies with 10 million euros in EU subsidies for further investments and development – stated Grzegorz Schetyna at a convention in Szczecin.

- This is precisely what shows that they engage in politics of propaganda and such pathetic deception, while we simply act. This is the difference, the difference between the European Coalition and PiS – he added.

- We all see how, as usual before elections, in every campaign, Mr. Kaczyński and his associates pretend to love the EU. We have already started getting used to this. Wolves dress up as lambs, they want Poles to forget how they called the union an imaginary community, how they removed European flags from central offices, calling them rags. They are trying to hide that they are opponents of a united, solidaristic Europe, who shamelessly go there only for high salaries. For their own salaries, because that is the truth – stated Grzegorz Schetyna at a convention in Szczecin.

- Thanks to EU funds, and only thanks to them, will we finally tackle the smog problem. We will simply do it. This is our election promise - stated Grzegorz Schetyna at a convention in Szczecin.

The PiS campaign headquarters has announced a tour of "PiS Buses" featuring Deputy Prime Minister Beata Szydło and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

At 1:00 PM in Krakow, Szydło will hold a press conference. Following this, at 3:00 PM in Zakopane, a meeting with residents is scheduled, and at 5:00 PM in Nowy Targ.

Morawiecki's press conference is planned for 4:00 PM in Łódź. A meeting with the residents of Ozorków will take place at 5:00 PM, and with the residents of Sieradz at 6:30 PM.

- For now, the threat of halting European funds for Poland is real. For now, serious leaders from the West are saying that hard borders should be imposed on countries like Poland. These are scandalous ideas and must be fought against, but it is the current government that has exposed Poland to this. Because it is politicizing the courts, the prosecution service, and the police. Because it is building a party-state. We will not agree to this. Because there is simply no place for such a state in the EU - stated Grzegorz Schetyna at a convention in Szczecin.

- They have spread an umbrella of protection over hooligans, over nationalists, and most shamefully, over pedophiles. This is a disgrace. I don't know how Joachim Brudziński can look in the mirror. I know police officers, I myself was the head of the Ministry of Interior. I know how many brave people are there, and do you think they wouldn't crack down hard on pedophiles? After all, they have children themselves. They just need to be allowed to do their job. Free them from these vain mandarins, networks of party obligations and interests. I will repeat once again: a police officer must not be afraid to go after a criminal. A victim must not be afraid to report a crime. It is the criminal who should be afraid. And he will start to be afraid, I promise you that. Stories like those in Podkarpacie will not be imaginable. They will never happen - stated Grzegorz Schetyna at a convention in Szczecin.

"Yesterday's words from the Primate of Poland, with apologies and a declaration to fight pedophilia, are valuable. But it is clear that the time has passed when any institution could deal with this issue independently. Only the state can and will be effective in this matter. That is why yesterday's words from the de facto ruler of today's party-state in Poland are so false. Mr. Kaczyński's words about the sexualization of children. Mr. Kaczyński, you understand nothing. Nothing. You do not know where the real threat to Polish children comes from. Why are you running away from the problem of pedophilia? It is evident that you and your government will not solve this problem. We must and will ensure the safety of our children and will put an end to indulgence and conspiracy of silence. We will put an end to it once and for all. Because anyone who raises a hand against Polish children raises a hand against the Polish state"

- We will win these elections in May, and we will win the autumn ones. We will restore peace and common sense. Poland will be governed not by Kaczyński's electoral calculations, but by law. The Constitution and the Penal Code. Poland will not be on the margins of Europe, but again among its leaders. We won't be missing out on 100 billion from the EU. We will simply get them back. We will end the healthcare collapse. Thanks to EU funds, we will fix it. We will stop dividing Poles, we will start uniting Poland. We will rediscover what is common to us all. It will be normal, Polish and European - stated Grzegorz Schetyna at the convention in Szczecin.

- I have the impression that we were all fooled, drawn into whether it was staged or not, because honestly, I felt sorry for the Prime Minister this morning, I had the impression it was truly vile (...) but then suddenly, if the voices of indignation flow towards the tabloid, what a scandal, and rightly so that such a publication appears, and what does the minister from the Prime Minister's Chancellery do next? They go and give a very extensive interview to that very newspaper - stated Anna-Maria Żukowska on Dariusz Ociepa's "Breakfast at Polsat News", referring to the "Super Express" publication concerning Morawiecki's children.

- On Tuesday, there will be a presentation of political parties and groups that will support the European Coalition in the European Parliament elections - Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced on Radio Zet. He revealed that one of them will be the Union of European Democrats.

The leader of the peasant party admitted that there will be at least several new partners. - The Union of European Democrats will definitely be there, our coalition partner in the parliamentary club in the Sejm, led by its chairwoman Elżbieta Bińczycka. It is the successor to the Freedom Union, a democratic party, a thought of Tadeusz Mazowiecki - he said.

WKK emphasized that political parties will be presented first, and later social organizations, including those from the healthcare sector. - This is an important signal that the European Coalition is attracting the most political and social groups, because it will not be just political parties - he added.

- Yesterday, a TVP journalist, in the context of Sekielski, primarily asked me about Polański. In this regard, it was clear that they are already preparing a narrative intended to defend the Church with the implication of 'it happens everywhere' - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer on TVN24's "Kawa na ławę" (Coffee on the Bench).

- We have prepared changes to the Penal Code where these crimes will be punished very severely. Much more severely than currently. Because today it is often the case that even suspended sentences are handed down. Practically no punishment, as they say, a suspended sentence, meaning nothing at all. So, there will be no suspended sentences [for pedophilia]. There will be severe penalties, perhaps even up to 30 years in prison. And this will apply to everyone, regardless of where they come from or what social roles they fulfill. Those to whom children have been entrusted, who are responsible for children, will be punished particularly severely. And this naturally applies to priests too, but it applies to everyone, including well-known celebrities – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a convention in Szczecin.

- There is no reason why homosexual couples in Poland should be able to adopt children, so that this entire assault of anti-culture in Poland is also introduced. It is already being introduced, we must repel it - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a convention in Szczecin.

– The age limit for criminal responsibility in Poland, when it comes to the victim's age, is set very low. 15 years old. It will be raised because it's necessary. One must be tough here, and I warn: let no one speak of ephebophiles or similar justifications, meaning that if the victim is a bit older, then it's alright. No, it's not alright. Punishment must be applied to everyone – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a convention in Szczecin.

- Does this mean that the crimes, because they were crimes and particularly repulsive crimes of some, few priests, justify attacks on the Church, offending Catholics? No, that's no basis – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a convention in Szczecin.

- We need to encourage people to go to the polls. Because we sometimes encounter a phenomenon: yes, you improved our lives and we will definitely support you in the parliamentary elections, but we don't go to these European ones. Here, in this region, there are many such attitudes. We need to overcome them. It is our great duty, all of ours, because their only chance is that our people don't go. Because if our people go, they have no chance. But whether they go is a matter of effort for all of us, each of us - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a convention in Szczecin.

- I want to quote one number here. 15 billion PLN in unused funds during our predecessors' time for railways. So, those who say that we are not utilizing anything, they are the devil who has not only dressed in a chasuble but also in an alb, and is now ringing his tail and all that, his horns for mass. Let's not be deceived. One number. Everyone who talks with friends, acquaintances, with local media. You did not utilize 15 billion PLN for railway development - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a convention in Szczecin.

- The briefing is dedicated to the inauguration, in the final stretch of the campaign, of our PiSbus initiative, involving a tour of Poland by PiS buses. Now, PiS politicians are heading out across Poland to more intensively, more strongly, and to be even closer to the people, to persuade them to vote in the elections that await us on May 26th. Our PiSbuses, which will carry both Prime Minister Szydło and Prime Minister Morawiecki, and our candidates, will reach the furthest corners of Poland – municipalities, districts, and cities – precisely to remind people of the stakes of these elections, the decisions awaiting us on May 26th, for both Poland and the entire EU – stated Tomasz Poręba at a briefing in Krakow.

- For us, the stakes of these elections on May 26th are precisely the defense of the right to the Polish złoty, the right for parents to raise their children, not homosexual couples, the maintenance of social benefits such as 500+ and 300+, or lower pensions, but also ensuring that products in Poland are of the same quality as in the West, or the right for our faith and our values to be respected and honored. These are the stakes of these elections, and everyone who participates in these elections, who goes to vote, must ask themselves whether they want a Poland where all these things will be respected, honored, and valued, or a Poland that will go in a completely different direction – added the head of the PiS campaign staff.

- These are very important elections. Perhaps the most important of all European Parliament elections we have participated in so far. The stakes are very high. The stakes are high for Poland, but also for each of us. We often don't attach enough importance to European Parliament elections, and we strongly urge you this year, on May 26th, in just two weeks, to go and vote. Vote to support people who will look after Poland's affairs, the affairs of Poles there, in the European Parliament, but who will also, thanks to this, ensure that the EU develops, that Europe is a safe place for Europeans, a strong, developing EU that provides guarantees of security and a decent life for every European. In Poland, we will be making this choice: whether we want everything that has been implemented in the last 4 years, which is good for Poles, which meets the expectations of many groups, this economic development, social projects and programs, to be realized and continued, or perhaps some political force will emerge that will want to abandon them - stated Beata Szydło at a briefing in Krakow.

A representative of the Confederation, the far-right political party, has accused the public television broadcaster TVP of banning their members from appearing on air. The accusation comes amid increasing political tensions and accusations of media bias in Poland.

The Confederation, which has a strong anti-establishment and nationalist stance, claims that TVP, funded by the state and widely perceived as being under the influence of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, is deliberately silencing their voices. This alleged ban is seen by the party as a "shameful method" employed by PiS to limit their visibility and reach during a crucial political period.

The statement, shared via the Confederation's official Twitter account (link provided: https://twitter.com/KONFEDERACJA_/status/1127585807789895680), suggests a systematic effort to exclude their representatives from public discourse on state television. Such accusations highlight ongoing concerns about the neutrality of public media in Poland and its role in shaping political narratives.

The Confederation is demanding an explanation from TVP and calling for equal access to public broadcasting for all political parties. The situation underscores the polarized media landscape in Poland, where accusations of bias and censorship are frequently leveled by various political actors.

At the European Coalition's election convention in Szczecin, Grzegorz Schetyna responded to Jarosław Kaczyński's words that "whoever lifts a hand against the Church lifts a hand against Poland," by saying: "Mr. Kaczyński, you understand nothing, nothing. Anyone who lifts a hand against Polish children lifts a hand against the Polish state."



The European Coalition contrasts these two quotes in a new video promoted online, following the Sekielski brothers' film "ONLY DON'T TELL ANYONE" which surpassed 4 million views in just over a day.

- Following a successful PiS convention in Szczecin with Jarosław Kaczyński, we are concluding the PiS chairman's visit by one of the beautiful lakes - Joachim Brudziński wrote on Instagram. Meanwhile, on Twitter, the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration added that "after a tough week, nothing tastes better than a Sunday sausage around a bonfire in West Pomerania."

The Law and Justice (PiS) party leader, Jarosław Kaczyński, will be a guest on TVP2's "Question for Breakfast" tomorrow morning. The discussion – as announced by the public broadcaster – will focus on life, family, and private passions.
