Nowoczesna Celebrated Its 4th and Final Birthday. MP Szłapka Becomes Trustee of the Bankruptcy Estate and is Holding Talks with MP Tyszkiewicz Because They Know Each Other from Komorowski's Campaign

- Nowoczesna celebrated its 4th and final birthday. It was created in opposition to PO, not PiS. MP Szłapka has become the trustee of the bankruptcy estate and is holding talks with MP Tyszkiewicz because they know each other from Komorowski's campaign. MP Szłapka will carry this banner. MP Zembaczyński speaks of a different civilization, President Komorowski of paying taxes, who else discredits voters if not your side? - said Jan Kanthak from Solidarna Polska at Woronicza 17.

Mucha:

Voter turnout grants a strong mandate to our MEPs and to the winning party; the Polish Prime Minister's voice in discussions on European posts is backed by the Polish people's choice.

- The President appealed to Poles to vote in large numbers, and I am glad that this was a historic breakthrough. The increase is over twenty percent. It also grants a strong mandate to our representatives in the European Parliament, but it also grants a strong mandate to the winning party. We must say it plainly and honestly: no party has ever achieved such support in any election. The Polish Prime Minister's voice in discussions on European posts is backed by the Polish people's choice. Poles were not convinced by the anti-PiS slogan. In the Latarnik survey, the KE was unable to prepare a common answer to simple questions - said Paweł Mucha on Woronicza 17.

Kierwiński on PSL's Idea for a Polish Coalition: We Wish Them Success, but We Know One Thing: We Will Definitely Talk with the PSL Too

- I must say that this is quite a risky strategy on the part of the Polish People's Party. We wish them success, but we know one thing: that we will definitely talk with the PSL too - said Marcin Kierwiński in Dariusz Ociepa's program "Śniadanie w Polsat News".

Sellin on Schetyna's Leadership: 'I Wish He Maintains Leadership. Then I'll Be More Confident About the Election Result'

- I wish Grzegorz Schetyna maintains that leadership [in Civic Platform]. Then I'll be more confident about the election result - said Jarosław Sellin in Dariusz Ociepa's program "Śniadanie w Polsat News".

Piechna-Więckiewicz on Suski's Tweet: Makeup or a Handbag Wouldn't Help Mr. Suski in Talks with Robert Biedroń, Because Such Boorishness and, Unfortunately, Homophobic Behavior Cannot Be Covered Up in Any Way

- Makeup or a handbag wouldn't help Mr. Suski in talks with Robert Biedroń, because such boorishness and, unfortunately, homophobic behavior cannot be covered up in any way - Paulina Piechna-Więckiewicz said on Dariusz Ociepa's program "Śniadanie w Polsat News".

Sonik:

Refusing to shake the Prime Minister's hand at an official ceremony is a sign of uncivilized behavior and arrogance that effectively contributes to our group's defeat.

Neumann:

EP Election Turnout Was High, But Parliamentary Elections Will Likely Exceed 50%. Everything Is Still on the Table

- What is most important is the high turnout for the European elections. 45%. Fully agree. It has never been this high, but it is still low compared to the turnout in the parliamentary elections, which will likely significantly exceed 50%. Everything is still on the table and can be played for - stated Sławomir Neumann on TVN24's "Kawa na ławę".

Zgorzelski:

We've had talks with Non-Partisan Local Government Officials, UED Group Joining. Zdrojewski and Hall Spoke Favorably of Our Project

- You can't say that the leading representatives of the PSL spoke negatively about the European Coalition, at least you won't hear that from me. We planned this project for the EP elections. In our opinion, it gained very good support. 38.5%, second place. This is not a failure at all. However, it ended on the day of the EP elections - stated Piotr Zgorzelski in "Kawa na ławę" on TVN24. - We are drawing conclusions, and the conclusions are that for a political project to be complementary and effective, besides a program catalog and program goals, which we agreed on, there must also be a catalog and system of values that unites the groups forming a coalition. Here, it was a bit more difficult for the PSL in the presence of parties that represented left-wing values. Therefore, we decided that between PiS and PO, it is worth creating a third proposal for our citizens, a centrist one, to define a new playing field – added the PSL politician. - We have already had talks with the Non-Partisan Local Government Officials, the UED environment is joining. Bogdan Zdrojewski and Aleksander Hall spoke favorably about our project. I could go on like this – Zgorzelski noted.

Neumann:

The May 26th elections showed that there are two blocs in Poland. I don't see any chance for a third force to emerge.

- Certainly, the elections on May 26th showed that there are two blocs in Poland. The ruling and the opposition, which didn't win, but this 38.5% is a foundation to rebound higher and try to win the autumn elections – stated Sławomir Neumann in TVN24's "Kawa na ławę".

- I don't see any chance for a third force to emerge in the middle. A third force, with the D'Hondt method, is even more weakening. We need to build a programmatic, good, common offer, because one of the reasons for the Civic Coalition's (KE) troubles is that the message was common in the European elections, but a lot was played out in internal, Polish matters. If we agree on all this and defend the program, then such an opposition bloc has a chance to be a serious alternative – added the head of the Civic Platform parliamentary club.

11:51

Szłapka:

Unification with Civic Platform is an Option, but No Decisions Have Been Made. For Now, It's Much Better to Function as a Coalition and Close Cooperation of Independent Parties.

- We are before a series of talks with Civic Platform. We will discuss cooperation. This is one of the options [unification with Platform], however, no such decisions have been made. For now, I believe it is much better to function as a coalition and close cooperation of independent parties, Platform and Nowoczesna. Generally, yes [I prefer Nowoczesna's independent existence] - stated Adam Szłapka on TVN24's "Kawa na ławę".

Sasin on Government Reshuffle: June 4th is as Good as Any Other Day This Week, and Symbolically Perhaps Even Better

It is the Prime Minister's prerogative [to make changes in the government]. The Prime Minister will inform about it at the appropriate time, when all decisions have been made and can be communicated - stated Jacek Sasin on TVN24's "Kawa na ławę". - This reshuffle must happen in the coming week. June 4th is as good as any other day this week, and frankly, symbolically it might even be better. Because if we talk about democracy functioning excellently in Poland today, we are a week after fully democratic elections, the society has expressed its view. The effect is a government reshuffle, so June 4th, which initiated Poland's march towards democracy, is a symbolically good day for such democratic procedures to take effect - added the minister in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

I Proposed the Implementation of the 'PSL - KOALICJA POLSKA' Project, PSL's Independent and Subjective Participation in Sejm Elections". Pawlak Publishes Recording from the National Council

- At the National Council, I proposed the implementation of the "PSL - KOALICJA POLSKA" project, for PSL's independent and subjective participation in the Sejm elections with a program aimed at active Poles. Some in the PSL were afraid of independence. It is therefore worth recalling my words "The great seem great to you because you are kneeling - STAND UP!" (1995, PSL Congress) - wrote Waldemar Pawlak on Facebook.
