Szydło:
I firmly deny. I will not run for president next year. I will strongly support Andrzej Duda's campaign
“These are just speculations. I firmly deny. I will not run for the office of President of the Republic of Poland next year. I will support his campaign, I will strongly engage in President Andrzej Duda's campaign” – said Deputy Prime Minister Beata Szydło in an interview with Piotr Gociek on “Sygnały dnia” (Signals of the Day) on Polish Radio Channel One.

- I don't think it will be surprising [government reconstruction]. The personalities are not the most important thing; the program of Law and Justice is the most important. Colleagues who are competent will come, - said Marek Suski in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.

Poręba:
Elections are won by mobilization. In these elections, it had a special character
- I agree [that mobilization is key]. The essence of every election, elections are won by mobilization. In this case, it was known that in the European elections, very difficult, always the most difficult from PiS's point of view, this mobilization had a special character, important for us, from a campaign headquarters perspective, to achieve such mobilization. Certainly, it was also achieved with significant participation from President Kaczyński, who was at the forefront of this campaign, with tremendous commitment from Prime Minister Morawiecki, Prime Minister Szydło, and many other PiS politicians, but also through the message we had during this campaign - stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

In This Campaign, We've Made a Great Effort to Stay Up-to-Date with Public Sentiment

Neumann:
Some who hoped May 26th would be the day we defeat PiS are now vehemently attacking the Civic Platform
“There are various comments. Some people who were hoping that it would be this Sunday, May 26th, that we would defeat PiS, are today with great commitment trying to attack the Civic Platform. If [the campaign] had been successful, we would have won the elections. To make a decision about the future campaign, which starts today, we need to draw conclusions coolly and after good analysis, not after reading a few articles” – said the head of the Civic Platform-KO parliamentary club, Sławomir Neumann, in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

Poręba:
We cannot forget about young people. We opposed ACTA2 and that was clearly seen. This message was registered in the minds of young people
- In this campaign, and again in the next one, we cannot afford to forget about new, young people entering adulthood and also voting. We also took a principled stance on ACTA2 in this campaign. We were against it in the European Parliament, and it's an important topic for young people. That was clearly seen, we observed it in various places and studied it in great detail, and indeed, the ambiguous voting of Civic Platform in the EP, sometimes for, sometimes against, was certainly not beneficial from the perspective of the European Coalition. However, we said from the beginning: these regulations adopted in the EP are simply harmful and significantly limit freedom on the internet - stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
- This is a message that we strongly highlighted in March or April, and it has also had an impact and I think it has been registered in the minds of young people who will vote in the future or have already voted in these elections - added the head of the PiS campaign team for the EP elections.

Neumann:
I Appreciate Everyone Who Already Knows on Monday Why We Lost the Election. I Admire People Who, Without Data, Can Today Decide What Influenced the Election Outcome
“I appreciate everyone who already on Monday knows why we lost the election or why someone managed to win the election. I admire people who, without data, can today decide what influenced the election outcome. I know one thing. The coalition proved its worth as a form. We stood up to PiS. This is not Hungary, where the largest opposition party has 16% and Fidesz has 52%” - said the head of the PO-KO parliamentary club, Sławomir Neumann, in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

The coming months require great humility from us. We cannot fall into blind optimism. We must continue to work hard
- I think the coming months require great humility from us. We cannot fall into any grand hurray-optimism. We must continue to work very hard, travel around Poland, meet with people, humbly solicit every vote, and consistently fulfill our election promises - stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
09:08
Poręba:
Who will be chief of staff, which individuals will lead the next campaign – these are decisions for the party leadership
- We'll see. For now, we are in the process of forming our delegation in the EP, and I'm also involved in certain discussions regarding the future of the ECR group in the EP. Decisions of this type, who will be chief of staff, which individuals will lead the next campaign – these are already decisions for the party leadership. We'll see what they will be – stated Tomasz Poręba in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News's "Graffiti".
- I am not the one making the decisions. It is very hard work, but also very satisfying. However, I will say this: I still have many things to do in Brussels, especially at the beginning of the process when a group is being formed and various kinds of meetings are needed – he added.

I Congratulate Łukacijewska on Her Result in Cisna, but if She's So Great, Why Didn't She Win in the Neighboring Municipality?
„I congratulate Ms. Ela Łukacijewska on her result in Cisna, but if she is so great in Cisna, why didn't she win in the neighboring municipality? It means, you know, if we are going to analyze the result through one municipality in Podkarpacie. In Podkarpacie, we were disgracefully defeated by PiS. And if we are going to draw conclusions from the fact that we won precisely in the municipality of Cisna because Ela Łukacijewska, with all due sympathy to her, lives in this municipality” - said the head of the Civic Platform-KO club, Sławomir Neumann, in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

Schetyna:
There is no alternative to a united opposition
- Just like with the Civic Coalition, which we built for the local government elections, this one [European Coalition] was built, dedicated to the European Parliament elections. That is clear. However, the very essence of a coalition, the cooperation of opposition parties, political environments that are in opposition, makes sense, and I am convinced we will continue it, because there is no alternative to a united opposition. In a formula that must lead to the building of a common electoral committee in the October elections. Absolutely yes. There is no alternative to an opposition that cooperates, builds a common program, and conducts a joint campaign - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Salon polityczny Trójki".

- Today we are analyzing this data and drawing conclusions from it. We fought as best we could. Of course, we will present these conclusions next week. We are analyzing this data, the numbers, and talking with sociologists. We had a meeting with the regional leaders. We are analyzing this situation to make a good diagnosis, because only by making a good diagnosis do we have a chance to prepare a good campaign, a good political idea for October - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon".

Ministers moving to Brussels can at best receive compensation for unused leave
"We can say at best that departing ministers, on this occasion as with others, can at best receive compensation for unused leave, but that is usually a few, a dozen or so days. This is stipulated in the Labor Code" - said Minister Łukasz Schreiber in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" (The Core of the Matter).

Schetyna:
Those from Lower Positions, Doubting Their Chances, Didn't Always Give Their All. This Must Change. Our Lists Will Consist of Those Who Will Fight 100%.
- Where mandates were fought for from the first or second positions, certainly yes [the Polish People's Party gave their all]. However, this applies to all candidates and all parties. There wasn't that feeling that these were elections for everything, and that a mandate wasn't important, or rather, the mandate wasn't the most important thing, but the most important thing was the result for the European Coalition. And those from lower positions, not believing in securing a mandate for themselves, didn't always give their all. This must change. Today, I can absolutely say that the lists we will build for October will consist of those who will fight 100% - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon".

Schetyna:
Civic Platform National Council Meeting on June 8th. I Will Present a Plan Leading Us to the October Elections
- We are discussing within Civic Platform. If anyone were to say that organizational changes are needed - 100% agreement. I myself will prepare for June 8th, we have a National Council meeting, and I will prepare, I will present a plan leading us to the October elections - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon".

Schetyna:
Introducing an internal electoral process within Civic Platform now would result in a constitutional majority for PiS
– I will not [ask for a vote of confidence], because introducing an electoral process within Civic Platform now would result in a constitutional majority for PiS in the parliamentary elections. This means that PiS's victory would then be undisputed, because we cannot, four months before the elections, begin an internal electoral process within Civic Platform or a verification of the leadership of the board, the chairman, due to insufficient time – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon".

A Lot Will Happen on June 4th in Gdańsk. Important Things That Will Influence the October Victory Campaign.
- We are talking, I am talking, with all [the leaders of the European Coalition]. However, we are preparing a scenario. It is June 4th, and we will all be seeing each other in Gdańsk. We have been invited by Mayor Dulkiewicz. I have also agreed to other conversations. A lot will certainly happen there. Such important things that will have an impact on – I am convinced – the victorious campaign in October – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon."

Neumann:
We are considering lifting the boycott of TVP and fighting on that front too
- Representatives of Nowoczesna, PSL, and the left wing used to go to TVP. The European Coalition was represented, and only Platforma representatives were not at TVP. We are discussing this. What TVP is doing, with its message, the lies it exposes practically in daily editions of "Wiadomości" is something that causes disgust. But we are looking at it realistically and wondering if perhaps we need to lift it and go fight on that front as well. We are talking about it. There is no decision today. I think next week will be the moment when all of this will be announced and shown - stated Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

A meeting of the newly elected Members of the European Parliament with SLD leadership has just concluded at the SLD headquarters in Warsaw. As we hear, Professor Bogusław Liberadzki has been re-elected as the head of the delegation, and Marek Balt as treasurer. The 5-member delegation will, as before, remain in the S&D faction.
As our interlocutors emphasize, the SLD delegation will be led by Bogusław Liberadzki, undisputed until now as the former leader and Vice-President of the European Parliament, and by fresh blood, the youngest in the delegation, Marek Balt, known for his uncompromising stance.

I am not aware of anyone planning to resign" – said PiS MEP and outgoing Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, Beata Mazurek, in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

I Think PiS Will Launch Further Social Transfers

Hetman:
Decision on Running in Parliamentary Elections Within Three Weeks
- That's a very difficult question. Because, of course, the heart always suggests running under our own banner, the PSL. However, we must take into account the political conditions on the political scene here in our country. We need to discuss this matter within the PSL. I think that within the next three weeks [a decision will be made regarding running in the parliamentary elections]. We want to begin broad consultations within our structures tomorrow - stated Krzysztof Hetman in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM.

I Will Not Be Head of the Ministry of National Defence, I Never Aspired to This Position
- I will not be [Head of the Ministry of National Defence], I never aspired to this position. I have been working for Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki for a year and a half, and I hope it will stay that way - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

Tomorrow We're Hitting the Road Again
- I'm going to the Supreme Council of the Polish People's Party (PSL) with the proposal that we start hitting the road again tomorrow. Back to it. One campaign is behind us, and tomorrow we're heading out for more meetings. I've been traveling all the time, the last few weeks have been thousands of kilometers, dozens, hundreds of meetings, and I will be everywhere it's possible - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).
- As a democratic party, we want to discuss this with our supporters and members. So these meetings will also aim to answer in which direction we should go [towards the parliamentary elections] - added the PSL chairman.

We Must Work Day and Night, Persuade People of Our Program, Show It, and We Will Find the Best Formula to Start
- The question is whether such a broad coalition, like the one we had, because some are proposing to invite other groups. I cannot imagine it. I said this before the elections, I cannot imagine it. But some are also floating the idea: perhaps the opposition should be in two blocs, a liberal-left bloc and a centrist-Christian democratic bloc. I think we must work from dawn till dusk, persuade people of our program, show it, and then we will find the best formula to start – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
20:25
WKK:
We Will Not Ally With Those Who Seek to Incite Religious War in Poland
- We will not form a coalition [for the parliamentary elections] with those who in any way want to incite a religious war in Poland and will embrace ideological matters under their banners. Poles have rejected this approach and this idea - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

Many predicted: you'll go together, you'll get 0 seats. That didn't pan out.
- Many predicted: you'll go together, you'll get 0 seats. That didn't pan out. So I believe that we will also make a good decision this time, but it must stem from social support. This cannot be done on such a broad list that will have some ideological twist. I can't imagine that anymore - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
