Sasin:

I Approach Positions with Great Calm. The Important Thing is to Do Something Good for the Country
I haven't quite [gotten used to the sound of the Deputy Prime Minister title]. I don't know, I'd have to ask my family [if they are proud]. In general, I approach all positions and functions with calm and a certain reservation. All of that passes. The important thing is to do something good for the country. On the eve of [I told my wife about the new position] – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - One must always be cautious and restrained. Until the appointment is in hand, anything can happen – added the new Deputy Prime Minister.

Müller:

Several Legislative Ideas and Changes Can Still Be Implemented This Term

"After the next Council of Ministers meeting on Thursday, we will still be setting this legislative action plan next week. There are several ideas to implement, a few changes to realize within this term. This is the most important goal – the entire program associated with PiS's 'Five'. We are consistently implementing it," said government spokesperson Piotr Müller in an interview with Piotr Gociek on "Sygnały dnia" on Radio Jedynka.


07:59

Sasin:

Announced Program Congress to Develop Our Proposals for the Next Term

- This will be our collective thinking, of the entire formation. Various kinds of meetings will serve this purpose, including the announced program congress, which is to develop our proposals for the next term. I also want to get very actively involved in this. My main task, however, will be to coordinate the legislative work of the Council of Ministers. Based on my 1.5 years of experience as head of the Standing Committee, this position of Deputy Prime Minister, which also provides certain possibilities for overseeing the work of other ministries, will simply be easier and more effective - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" (Piasecki's Conversation).

- I want to actively participate in the preparation of this program - emphasized the Deputy Prime Minister.


08:07

Sasin:

We Are Not Certain We Will Win the Election. We Must Work Really Hard
Of course, we do not have certainty that we will win the election. We know that it will be a very difficult task, because the opponent is difficult and very strong, possessing many instruments to effectively disrupt our ranks – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". We must work really hard to win this election, also by preparing good programmatic proposals. The point is to show Poles why we want to govern – added the Deputy Prime Minister.

Kaczyński on Tusk's Speech: It Seems to Have Been As Usual. Great Expectations and Nothing Came of It

- I don't yet know Tusk's speech in detail, but I can say one thing. It seems to have been as usual. That means great expectations and nothing came of it. So I wouldn't talk about the start of the campaign just yet - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Poranek Radia Wnet.


08:52

Kaczyński on Drinking Vodka in Magdalenka: Tusk Has a Habit of Lying and Lies About Everything, Including This

- Donald Tusk was kind enough to say that my brother drank with Kiszczak and someone else in Magdalenka. I will clarify immediately that three people did not fraternize there during those events in Magdalenka. That was precisely my late brother, I admit it, Tadeusz Mazowiecki, and I also admit it, Władysław Frasyniuk. However, others truly went for such far-reaching, hypocritical fraternization and are rightly criticized for it, and that caused distaste even then. I knew about it then, of course, from my brother. So, Donald Tusk has a habit of lying and lies about everything, including this, even though he wasn't in Magdalenka at the time. He was simply a person of, let's say, not particular importance back then - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet's Morning broadcast.


08:58

Kaczyński on Tusk's Words: 'Everyone Has a Remote and Can Watch Programs Very Different from TVP, Fiercely Attacking Us, Led by TVN'

This is such an extremely primitive maneuver [by Donald Tusk] that I don't think anyone will fall for it. After all, everyone can have, and generally does have, a television remote at home and can watch a number of programs that are completely different from Public Television and fiercely, very fiercely attack us, with TVN at the forefront. But this also applies to other stations, smaller and larger, like Polsat, for example. Not to mention various radio stations. From this, it follows that TOK FM, for instance, is also on PiS's side. This is a truly great discovery. This is something that can only appeal to people who either lack the most basic knowledge or have the most extreme, ill will. Such a tactic is so completely detached from reality that it's simply not worth discussing – stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet's morning program.


09:07

Kaczyński on Brutal Campaign Remarks: "Very Specific Knowledge I Won't Share, Regarding What They Are Preparing in Various Dimensions"
- This is a matter of, on the one hand, knowing our opponents, but on the other hand, also having some very specific knowledge, which I will not share at this moment, regarding what they are preparing in various dimensions - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet's morning program, when asked about his remarks from election night that the autumn parliamentary campaign might be more brutal than the one we have just experienced.

09:13

Kaczyński:

It's Not in Our Interest to Be in Sharp Conflict with Russia. Russia's Decision to Change its Stance Towards Poland. Can We Expect This? This Could Be a Very Serious Problem

“It would have to be Russia's decision that it is changing its stance towards Poland. Can such a decision be expected, but I am talking here about a strategic decision, not various tactical games? I fear that this could be a very serious problem. It seems to me, although I would very much like to be mistaken, that [this will not happen]. If I were mistaken, I would be very pleased, because it is not in our interest to be in some sharp conflict with Russia” - said Law and Justice party chairman Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet.


09:15

Kaczyński:

I don't want to comment on Confederation's statements, as it's already a pro-Russian and simply harmful formation.

- I don't want to comment on Confederation's statements, as it's already a pro-Russian and simply harmful formation. However, I will repeat our declaration: PiS guarantees that when it governs, Poland will not pay for Germany's World War II crimes. If Jews have any claims, they should turn to Germany. Poles owe them absolutely nothing - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet's Morning Program.


09:17

Kaczyński:

Szydło's Result Was Even Better Than I Thought

"[Szydło's result] was even better than I thought, but I was convinced it would be very good. I believed she was capable of defeating Jerzy Buzek, and she clearly did" - said the leader Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet.


09:20

Kaczyński on the Election Battle: Is Poland Going to Get Better, as Under Our Rule?
- It's about whether Poland will continue to improve, as it has under our rule, although of course we are still very far from what it should be, or whether Poland will return to the way it was before, where things were getting better for a relatively narrow elite, and for others it was mixed. Sometimes, of course, something fell from that master's table, but that master's table was something external, abstract for a very large part of society. We are working in a direction to eliminate that table and, at the same time, ensure that everyone can receive as much as possible, although I repeat; the road to this is long - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet's Morning program, when asked what the battle in this election campaign and the 2019 elections is all about.

09:23

Kaczyński:

We will also have other program proposals. The process of preparing the program will be observable to a considerable extent

- The [Kaczyński's] Five is not yet fully implemented. From July, we will have PLN 500 for every child, and in the autumn there will be tax solutions. So these are already very serious elements. And secondly, we will certainly have other program proposals as well, but I don't want to talk about them at the moment. Besides, you will be able to observe the process of preparing the program to a considerable extent - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Poranek Radia Wnet.


09:26

Kaczyński:

I am troubled by the state of Polish public life, which has been consistently deteriorating since 2005

I am greatly concerned by the international situation, as it is full of points where something serious could happen with very grave consequences, which even if they do not directly affect Poland, will hit our country through other mechanisms, mainly economic. Furthermore, I am troubled by the shape of Polish public life, which has been consistently changing for the worse since 2005. Before then, it was also far from ideal, but what began to unfold from the moment a certain group failed to realize its plans and shifted from policy discussions to a policy of essentially waging war against its opponents, essentially rejecting democracy, because if someone claims that a certain formation that won a majority in elections has practically no right to govern and should be annihilated, then in reality, they are rejecting democracy” - said the leader of Law and Justice, Jarosław Kaczyński, in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet.


09:28

Kaczyński:

Salvini Wants to Form a New Group with Formations We Absolutely Cannot Accept

- Regarding Mr. Salvini, we have a problem here in that Mr. Salvini wants to form a new group [in the EP] together with such formations that we absolutely cannot accept. That's Ms. Le Pen's National Rally. There are, I believe, formations like the Alternative for Germany. For us, this is something we absolutely cannot accept - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet's Morning Program.


09:32

Kaczyński:

PiS Carries the Banner of Freedom Not Only in Poland but Also in Europe
"Law and Justice [carries the banner of freedom] not only in Poland but also in Europe, because, unfortunately, there is less and less of this freedom in Europe. It is being killed by political correctness, which is already beginning to transform into a system of administrative and also legal-penal restrictions," said Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of Law and Justice, in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet.

09:33

Kaczyński:

The moment I walked out to announce our election victory was one of great joy, and I'd like to relive it in a few months. My cat's purring also brings me joy.

"The moment I walked out to announce that we had won the election was a moment of great joy, and I would like to experience it again in a few months. Besides that, many different things bring me joy. Starting from very important matters like news of Polish successes in various fields, to the purring of a cat" - said the leader Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet.


09:36

Kaczyński:

I Don't Think Anything Else Will Change in the Government's Composition Before the Elections

"I don't think anything else will change [in the government's composition] before the [parliamentary] elections. However, it's good for the Prime Minister to be present in this conversation here," said Law and Justice leader Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with Krzysztof Skowroński on Radio Wnet.


09:41

Sawicki:

I encourage Kosiniak-Kamysz to speak out more often and not hide behind Schetyna's back

I warmly encourage my chairman, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, to start appearing in public more often, to speak more often, and not to hide behind the back of our former coalition partner, Grzegorz Schetyna” – said Marek Sawicki from the Polish People's Party (PSL) in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.


09:42

Sawicki:

Tusk Doesn't Feel the Realities, He No Longer Understands Polish Politics Well

There will be no white horse, and there will be no Anders’ Tusk on a horse returning to Poland. Donald Tusk doesn’t feel the realities, he no longer understands Polish politics well, and yesterday with his speech, instead of calling again for agreement and cooperation, he once again pointed to ‘them’ and ‘us,’ he showed these differences. He said that they are the losers, that they are the bad ones, and we are the good ones. This kind of politics is slowly becoming obsolete” – said Marek Sawicki from the PSL in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

Civic Platform Outraged by CBA Search of Nitras's Assistant's Home: "Special Services Are Trying to Find Dirt on Opposition Politicians"

The CBA knocked on the door of MP Nitras’s assistant’s apartment in the morning, conducting a search and securing materials in a case in which MP Nitras is completely uninvolved. We are dealing with a situation where it is clear that the special services, under the command of Minister Kamiński and PiS, are trying to find some dirt on opposition politicians. MP Nitras, known for his consistently accurate and astute diagnoses of the political situation in Poland, has been repeatedly sanctioned by the Marshal of the Sejm. Today, it is evident that these sanctions, which did not yield the desired results for PiS, are leading PiS to seek materials against MP Nitras. We perceive this as a baseless, disgraceful, political attack on one of the key opposition politicians” – said Paweł Olszewski from Civic Platform during a press conference in the Senate.

The Civic Platform does not agree with this eastern governance. We know that PiS politicians dream of a second Belarus, a second Russia. They dream of these games aimed at the opposition, these Putin-esque games. Why is the CBA entering Nitras’s assistant’s home, and why does the PiS service want MP Nitras’s computer? We know that MP Nitras is a thorn in the side of Jarosław Kaczyński and many PiS politicians. He is inconvenient for the PiS authorities” – added Krzysztof Brejza from Civic Platform.

TVP Info: It's possible that 6 EU countries will join Poland's complaint regarding ACTA2

- Besides Poland, 6 other EU countries were also against the copyright directive, including, for example, the Netherlands, and now it is possible that these countries will also join Poland's complaint, and will jointly sue the European Parliament and the Council before the CJEU in Luxembourg - said TVP Info correspondent Dominika Ćosić from Brussels.

Thank you and I look forward to our conversation, as we have important matters for Gdańsk and Poland - wrote the Mayor of Gdańsk, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, on Twitter. The meeting, initiated by the head of government, will take place at 1:30 PM - this information was provided to 300POLITYCE by government spokesperson Piotr Müller.

United Right Leaders Offered Me This Role Because Someone Is Needed to Continue Coordinating Humanitarian Aid

- The leaders of the United Right offered me this function because there is a need for a person who will continue to coordinate humanitarian aid and carry on what Minister Kempa was doing - stated Michał Woś in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM.

Sasin on Piontkowski's Verdict: 'This Doesn't Disqualify Him. The Case Wasn't Clear-Cut. It Absolutely Doesn't Undermine Piontkowski's Integrity'

In our assessment, [Piontkowski's verdict for official misconduct] is not something that absolutely disqualifies Minister Piontkowski. The case was not clear-cut,” said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on Radio Trójka. “Minister Piontkowski, as the marshal, was convinced that he was making a decision entirely in accordance with the law. This verdict, the conditional dismissal of the case, indicates that the court did not treat it as an intentional offense, something that would be particularly punishable or stigmatized. It absolutely does not undermine Minister Piontkowski's integrity.”


18:34

Sasin:

I Don't Foresee Further Modifications to the 500+ Program Before the Next Election

We have indeed made very fundamental decisions regarding the 500+ program, significantly expanding it beyond what we promised, which was 500+ for the first child. I do not foresee this program undergoing further modifications before the upcoming elections” -  said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on Radio Trójka.


18:37

Sasin:

I cannot guarantee if it will be this year or from the new one, but the funds for the so-called '500+' for the disabled will definitely flow
"We are working on it. Right now, the focus is on securing the financing for this project. It will be an expenditure of around PLN 3 billion. I anticipate that we will indeed have these funds. I cannot guarantee whether it will still be this year, within this year's budget, or only from the new year, but these funds will certainly flow to the disabled," said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on Polskie Radio Program 3.

19:40

Karczewski:

I thought Tusk's speech would be different. Not so politically, party-oriented towards PO members, but a bit broader

- I thought Donald Tusk's speech would be different. Not so politically, and indeed party-oriented towards PO members, but a bit broader - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Events and Opinions".


19:44

Karczewski:

Tusk Stood with Kwaśniewski. Post-Communists Run on His List

- It's worth knowing that back then 'Solidarity' stood against the communists, and we won those elections. 'Solidarity' won. And at this moment, Donald Tusk stood with Aleksander Kwaśniewski. Post-communists are running on his list. We will win, I agree. It will be a repeat of 1989. But I don't want to say we will win in that way - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions).


19:51

Karczewski:

The Senate Has Defined Tasks, It Fulfils Them, It Proves Itself. We Can Discuss Other Changes, But Absolutely Not an 'Assembly Chamber'

- Against. Because the Senate already has its defined tasks. It fulfils them, it proves itself. We can discuss other changes, about the future of the Senate, but absolutely not an 'Assembly Chamber'. I cannot imagine the Senate dealing with, limiting its activity in such a way - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Wydarzenia i opinie".

- We already have an established tradition here, we have our legislative path, and I cannot imagine it - emphasized the Marshal of the Senate.


20:23

Kownacki:

It wasn't a captivating speech that would make someone say: I don't support Tusk, but indeed this man has immense talent and charisma
- I don't know if the sun was bothering him, or if it distracted him. Weak substantively, unconvincing. In my opinion, he is nursing the wounds from that defeat on May 26th, which is also his doing. He couldn't find that connection with people that I've seen before. It wasn't a captivating speech that would make someone say: I don't support Tusk, but indeed this man has immense talent and charisma. He was tired, scared by what happened, not understanding it - said Bartosz Kownacki on Kropka nad I.

20:30

Tomczyk:

I've heard nothing from Kaczyński but scaremongering about the EU, Civic Platform, refugees, or Jews.
- The atmosphere was exceptional. These are words that were needed, words of hope and encouragement for those who voted in these elections. Today we know the situation: there's a 6 percent deficit compared to PiS, and this deficit must be overcome. Tusk says clearly: you must hold your heads high, and we must win these elections. Full mobilization is very necessary. I've heard nothing from Kaczyński but scaremongering when he spoke about the European Commission, Civic Platform, refugees, or Jews. Local government is the quintessence of democracy, because this power is close to the people - said Cezary Tomczyk on Kropka nad I.

20:35

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

We are building the Polish Coalition. This is not an auction for places on the lists. It's a proposal, a serious decision

Our decision is a serious one. This is a proposal, the final formula of which we will adopt at the National Council at the end of June, but we are building the Polish Coalition” – said the leader of PSL, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on ‘Wydarzenia i opinie’ on Polsat News.

This is not an auction for places on the lists. This is a serious proposal for Poles who expect a Christian, populist force in the political center, connected to tradition, culture, and open to the future” – he added.


20:39

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

An Excessive Leftward Turn Proved to Be a Mistake. I Don't Want to Repeat in the Next Campaign, in Every Sentence, That I Am Not a Supporter of Same-Sex Couples Adopting Children, and That Marriage is a Union of a Woman and a Man.

An excessive leftward turn proved to be a mistake. It did not bring success. I don't want to repeat in the next campaign, in every sentence, that I am not a supporter of same-sex couples adopting children, and that marriage is a union of a woman and a man. This caused us to lose some votes from people who did not vote because the leftward turn was too large” – said the leader of PSL, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on „Wydarzenia i opinie” on Polsat News.


20:46

Tomczyk:

The Marshal's Office, Elected by the Regional Assembly, Possesses Full Crisis Management Competencies
- The Marshal's Office of the voivodeship, elected by the regional assembly, has all the competencies for crisis management. Today, the voivodes have been reduced by PiS to the role of simply throwing resolutions in the trash. The Mazovian voivode is taking Piłsudski Square, and the voivode in Pomerania, when the storm hit and all of Poland rushed to help, what did he say? That he doesn't need the army to sweep leaves – said Cezary Tomczyk on 'Kropka nad I'.

20:48

Tomczyk:

It's No Coincidence That Trust in the Sejm and Government Stands at 30-35%, While Trust in Local Government Officials Reaches 60%
- It's no coincidence that trust in the Sejm and government stands at 30-35%, while trust in local government officials reaches 60%. People know that local government officials are close by; they see the sidewalks, they see the hospitals, they see the commitment. Polish local governments are a showcase to the world, because the solutions implemented here, also during Jerzy Buzek's time, are a global label – stated Cezary Tomczyk in Kropka nad I.
