Czarzasty:

We decided to function within a grand coalition, and I personally continue to support this idea

- I don't change my mind every two months. Sometimes there's a storm, sometimes there's hail. But generally, one must be consistent. We decided to function within a grand coalition, and I personally continue to support this idea - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News' "Graffiti".


08:06

Czarzasty:

SLD Referendum Likely on June 29th. I Believe a Broad Coalition Should Be Formed. We Decided on It, and There's No Point in Making a Fool of Ourselves

- I know what I have to do. Discipline my party, which is already disciplined. I have until the end of June to make decisions [regarding the coalition]. There will be a referendum, likely on June 29th. 23,000 colleagues will make a decision on this matter. But I wanted to state clearly, because one needs to have guts in such situations. Leaders must take responsibility for a project they have committed to. I will express my opinion. I believe the European Coalition, a broad coalition, regardless of its final name, should be formed. Because we decided on it, and there's simply no point in making a fool of ourselves – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News' "Graffiti".


08:13

Czarzasty:

I Met with WKK Yesterday

- Yesterday we met [with Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz] for an hour and a half. It was a conversation between me and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. And these are our discussions. We talked about many matters, many aspects. Władek has different factions within his party. Yesterday, I listened to Mr. Sawicki, who said on RMF [Radio] that he spoke with Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, who also foresees the possibility of entering into a coalition with PiS. I was not present at that conversation, but if it took place, it means it was a bad conversation - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News's "Graffiti".


08:17

Czarzasty:

All Law Changes in Poland Are Introduced by the Sejm, and We Must Fight for the Sejm

- When I hear people suggesting we might focus on the Senate, or city mayors, I want to tell my future partners one thing: all changes to laws in Poland are introduced by the Sejm, and we must fight for the Sejm. If anyone has no desire to fight for the Sejm, they should simply wish us all the best, sit back in their armchairs, and keep their fingers crossed – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

Neumann on the Polish Coalition: There Is No Coalition, Only a PSL List. It's a Bad Idea

- I believe that this idea of the PSL going it alone, because it's obvious that this is an independent start, there is no coalition, only a PSL list. I believe that this is a bad idea – said Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Interview".


08:30

Neumann:

Smaller Parties Benefit from Coalition with Civic Platform; They Should Show Some Respect

'- In the local government elections, Nowoczesna [Modern Poland] introduced 30 councillors to regional assemblies. They never achieved this independently. In the European elections, both the Left and the PSL gained MEPs. They might not have achieved this on their own. So, I just want to show that these smaller parties do not fare badly in a coalition with the Civic Platform. They have their successes from it. It's worth them showing a little respect for that' - said Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's 'Morning Interview'.


08:30

Spychalski:

Polish-American Relations Have Never Been Better

"It is no secret that we are talking very strongly and very intensely with the United States on energy issues. In this regard, we already have enormous successes. We are talking about Polish and American successes. We are interested in a partnership with the United States, and this is happening today. Our relations are truly great, and Polish-American relations have never been as good as they have been recently," Minister Błażej Spychalski said in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on the morning program of the Catholic radio station 'Siódma9'.


08:35

Neumann:

Biedroń's Project is Slowly Ending. He Has Already Tasted Brussels

- I believe Robert Biedroń's project is slowly coming to an end. It is clearly visible that he has already tasted Brussels. Yesterday, we heard from his partner that he is convinced Robert should be an MEP for five years - Sławomir Neumann said in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Interview".


08:38

Neumann:

Our MPs and candidates will spend their holidays in rural Poland, convincing Poles to vote in the autumn

- I know one thing. Our MPs, and they probably know this already, but our activists and our candidates will also hear it. They will spend their holidays in rural Poland. In small Polish towns, convincing Poles to vote in the autumn. These will be our holidays, because we have to learn this lesson - said Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Conversation".


09:10

Ociepa on Electricity Prices: It's Difficult to Be Responsible for the European Commission. We Are in Constant, Intense Dialogue

- Thanks to our intervention, we managed to freeze these prices, and of course, this entails some element of risk. We have already saved for several months. However, it is difficult for me to be responsible for the European Commission. We are in constant, intense dialogue - said Marcin Ociepa in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "The Heart of the Matter".


09:14

Kamiński:

European Coalition's Result is Decent, But Definitely Below Expectations

“The European Coalition project is not anyone’s personal fiefdom. Grzegorz Schetyna is one of the most important, if not the most important, architect of this coalition, but it’s not about going to someone personally, but about forming a project that should be successful. We must give Schetyna credit that he managed to do this, and it was a significant achievement. The result is decent, but it is definitely below expectations, because we are not forming this coalition, and the entire coalition cooperation makes no sense if individual people get into various parliaments. They can ensure that in their separate political parties” - said Michał Kamiński of PSL-UED in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.


09:16

Kamiński:

I hope my friends from the Polish People's Party will heed the advice to go on a joint list of the entire, united opposition

"I hope my friends from the Polish People's Party will heed the advice I am giving from the bottom of my heart, to go on a joint list of the entire, united opposition. The banner is important, but it is secondary. Above all, assuming we have taken the first, important step, we need to draw conclusions from the campaign mistakes, because they are obvious. Drawing conclusions from mistakes today does not mean a personal war today" - said Michał Kamiński from PSL-UED in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.


09:18

Ociepa:

Local Government Officials Undermine Their Authority. They Have Their Own Separate Authority in Poland. But When They Step into Schetyna's Shoes, They Become Part of Civic Platform

- It is dishonest for a mayor who received a mandate based on an election program promising to build a bridge or renovate a hospital to then use that mandate to essentially fight the government, as some are doing. I am not criticizing the decision of one or another mayor to run for the Senate. I criticize the situation where local government officials form an anti-local government movement and engage in the opposition-government dispute in Poland because they act to the detriment of their cities. In this sense, they are dishonest towards their residents. Secondly, they weaken their own authority, because local government officials have their own separate authority in Poland. However, when they step into Grzegorz Schetyna's shoes, they become part of Civic Platform - said Marcin Ociepa in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" (The Core of the Matter).


09:26

Piontkowski:

Broniarz Won't Be Solely Deciding Whether Teachers Strike

– Mr. Broniarz will not be the sole decision-maker on whether teachers decide to strike or not. Teachers will also certainly consider the situation of other public sector employees, and unfortunately, there aren't such substantial raises for them as teachers are receiving, because there simply isn't that much money in the budget. Teachers will likely also look at how the recently concluded strike was perceived. We also want to talk with teachers, including trade unions, about the future prospects of the teaching profession – stated Dariusz Piontkowski in "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

Morawiecki Meets Weber at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister

The Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, Mateusz Morawiecki, held a meeting with Manfred Weber, the leader of the European People's Party (EPP) in the European Parliament. The meeting took place at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

The official Twitter account of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland shared a photo from the meeting with the caption: "Meeting with @ManfredWeber, President of the EPP Group in the @Europarl_EN. Discussed current EU affairs." The tweet can be found at https://twitter.com/PremierRP/status/1136908262568333313.

The meeting likely focused on key issues facing the European Union, potentially including the upcoming European Parliament elections (which had recently concluded or were imminent at the time of this report), the future direction of the EU, and Poland's role within the bloc.

Manfred Weber, a German politician, has been a prominent figure in European politics for many years, serving as the leader of the largest political group in the European Parliament. His meetings with national leaders, such as Prime Minister Morawiecki, are often indicative of ongoing discussions and negotiations regarding European policy and party alliances.

The precise details of the discussions were not fully elaborated in the provided information, but the context of the meeting suggests a high-level exchange on significant political matters within the European political landscape.


11:29

Müller after Morawiecki-Weber meeting: At this stage, the Polish government will not yet nominate a candidate it wishes to support for the position of Commission President. The government's stance will be known at the next European Council meeting.

- During today's meeting, issues concerning the appointment of positions within the European Commission and other EU institutions were discussed. At this stage, the Polish government is striving to maintain a programmatic and geographical balance within the positions of the European Commission and other EU institutions. At this stage, the Polish government will not yet nominate a candidate it wishes to support in its bid for the position of President of the European Commission. The Polish government's stance will likely be known at the next European Council meeting, although this is only the first stage of these deliberations - said Piotr Müller during a briefing outside the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

Kukiz, Liroy, and Jakubiak's Sejm Press Conference:

We Learned Kukiz's Condition is Including the PSL.
- We were supposed to announce the plan for Paweł Kukiz to join the party that Marek Jakubiak and Piotr Liroy-Marzec are currently forming. A federation that was going to be called Jakubiak-Liroy-Kukiz. Whether it will be called that, we shall see. We have agreed on the programmatic basis for such a party's actions. Today, we learned that Kukiz's condition for joining the agreement is the inclusion of the PSL, which surprised us a bit - stated Maciej Maciejowski, vice-president of Skuteczni, at a briefing in the Sejm. - Today, I am happy that we can bring to life and officially present to you the Jakubiak-Liroy Federation, of which we are the leaders - said Piotr Liroy-Marzec. - We also tried to invite Paweł Kukiz, whom our entire club knows, we come from him. We wanted to invite him to stop being offended by Konfederacja, to start talks about programmatic points - he added. - Paweł officially said at the meeting today that he is waiting for the PSL's decision. I will say officially: I do not think anyone in Konfederacja will agree to the PSL running in the elections together - Liroy emphasized.

PMM:

We Present Our Unique Blend of Republican-Solidarity Values, Centered on Human Dignity

Pointing out that liberal or neoliberal values – sometimes misunderstood – dominate this world. Sometimes values in quotation marks, sometimes without. We present our unique blend of republican-solidarity values, with human dignity at the core of its value sphere. It is this human dignity that sets the boundaries of freedom, not freedom from something, as is usually understood in the Western cultural world” - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the Polska Wielki Projekt (Great Polish Project) congress. 


13:26

PMM:

We've Shifted the Switch Towards Social Justice, Because It Revitalizes the Socio-Economic Life of the Silent Majority. This Silent Majority May Have Given Us Such a High Electoral Victory

Dignity is our middle ground between nominalism and extreme realism or conceptual realism, from which the values of the Enlightenment, and sometimes anti-values of the Enlightenment, later evolved. We are not afraid to point out that this is precisely the central value, and human dignity is our azimuth for the future. Our efforts towards improving the state, its effectiveness and efficiency in five areas: economic policy and institutional efficiency, social policy, defense, and historical policy and foreign affairs – they oscillate around this fundamental azimuth. That is precisely why we have shifted this switch towards social justice. Because we believed that it would bring back to socio-economic life that silent majority” – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the Poland Great Project congress. 

This silent majority, which may have given us such a high electoral victory in the recent elections a few weeks ago” – he added.

Civic Platform Files Complaint Against State Protection Service: "The Prime Minister Unnecessarily Endangered Many Lives"

"We are filing a complaint with the prosecutor's office against officers of the State Protection Service (SOP) following this shocking behavior on the road in the Legionowo district. It was a great shock to us when we saw how the convoy, which was transporting the Prime Minister from one festival to another, was moving, how the State Protection Service and all its equipment, armored cars, were being used, unnecessarily endangering the lives and health of many people on the road, pushing them to the shoulder so that the Prime Minister could make it to the distribution of some cake or election sausage. This is shocking information about how state bodies are being used in an election campaign. A Prime Minister should not behave like this" - said Robert Kropiwnicki from Civic Platform at a press conference in the Sejm. - "We believe that the Prime Minister unnecessarily endangered the health of many, many people. They have not learned from the accident of former Prime Minister Szydło in Oświęcim, from the accident of Mr. Macierewicz, and from many other accidents in which the SOP was involved".

"These people cannot be above the law. They cannot carelessly toy with human lives. If Prime Minister Morawiecki wants his life to be endangered by incompetent drivers who drive in violation of regulations, that is his personal choice, but these armored cars, pushing aside ordinary road users, are unacceptable" - added Civic Platform spokesman Jan Grabiec.

PiS Submits Amendment to Electricity Act to Sejm
- Following the adoption of the amendment, the situation for approximately 98% of end-users will not change in the second half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2019. This means these recipients will pay a reduced price (the 2018 price) for the entire year 2019. Medium and large enterprises will be covered by co-financing under de minimis aid in the second half of 2019, and energy-intensive enterprises will be beneficiaries of a mechanism to be introduced by the act on the compensation system for energy-intensive sectors and sub-sectors - stated the justification for the amendment to the electricity act, which PiS submitted to the Sejm today. https://twitter.com/MichalOlech/status/1137023304366272519

18:17

Kukiz:

I didn't set a condition about the PSL; I said to wait with any 'technical agreement' details until the situation with PSL, PO, SLD, and Wiosna is clarified, and then hold a conference.

- I didn't set a condition about the PSL; I said to wait with any 'technical agreement' details until the situation with PSL, PO, SLD, and Wiosna is clarified, and then hold a conference. So, I suspect around the middle of next week - Paweł Kukiz wrote on Facebook.

- The conditions for the 'technical agreement' presented by Marek Jakubiak and Piotr Liroj were absolutely unacceptable. I have no intention – as I've said many times – of being connected by any 'bridge' to Mr. Korwin. Even if I never see the Sejm again - emphasized the leader of Kukiz'15.

Müller:

Shooting Beavers is Not an Option Right Now, and That Won't Change. The Prime Minister Has Decided We Won't Introduce Such Changes. The Matter is Closed.
"Shooting beavers is not an option right now, and that's how it will stay, because we are not planning any changes in this regard. The Prime Minister decided today that we will not introduce any such changes, so the matter is closed in this respect. [The Minister of Agriculture] is aware. These are decisions at the government level. This topic will not be touched. We are leaving the beavers alone, and there is no need for anyone to do anything in this regard," - said government spokesman, Minister Piotr Müller, in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News.

19:29

Müller on Changes to the Teachers' Charter: "We are implementing the agreement with Solidarity, even though Chairman Broniarz did not sign the document"

We are implementing the agreement with Solidarity. Chairman Broniarz unfortunately did not sign this agreement, but we will implement it because Solidarity agreed to implement another package of increases from September. This is good news for teachers” – said government spokesperson, Minister Piotr Müller, in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News.

Müller on the so-called 500+ for people with disabilities: We want to implement the package regarding assistance for people with disabilities during this term

“Work in this area is already underway. We want to implement the package regarding assistance for people with disabilities during this term. There are no delays. I know we would all like to implement everything immediately, but let us consider that the PiS government is consistently fulfilling its promises from 2015, Morawiecki’s five-point plan from last year. And now the new PiS five-point plan” – said the government spokesperson, Minister Piotr Müller, in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News.


19:45

Zandberg:

Civic Platform's Hegemony as the Embodiment of the PiS Opposition Strengthens PiS. People Simply Don't Want Civic Platform Back.

- The hegemony of Civic Platform as the force embodying the PiS opposition is strengthening PiS. Simply put, many people do not want Civic Platform to return. And that is what drives them to the ballot box - said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.


19:51

Żukowska:

I've Always Been, and It's No Secret, a Proponent of a Left-Wing Coalition. And I Have the Right, Just Like Czarzasty, to Voice My Opinion.

- I have the right to my own opinion. I have always been, and it's no secret, a proponent of a left-wing coalition. And I have the right, just like Chairman Czarzasty, to voice my opinion on this matter – Anna Maria Żukowska said in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.


19:58

Zandberg:

The debates about who drank vodka with whom 30 years ago in Magdalenka feel absurd

- As I see on television over the past few days, that we are arguing and seriously discussing who drank vodka with whom 30 years ago at a villa in Magdalenka, I have a sense of absurdity. We live in a world with a climate crisis. If we don't stop it, we will have a climate refugee crisis in a dozen or so years. We live in Poland, which has a housing crisis, where a million people are still working on precarious contracts - said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

Bartoszewski on PSL's Parliamentary Election Bid: 'This Cannot Be Predicted Yet, Because PSL is the Only Democratic Party in Poland Right Now'
'This cannot be predicted yet, because PSL is the only democratic party in Poland right now. It works in such a way that if the Supreme Council of PSL and the management of PSL have a proposal, that proposal is considered and voted on by all members. The voivodeship councils in PSL will now meet, and then the district councils, and this will come to us at the end of June, regarding which direction we should go' – stated Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach", when asked whether PSL would run in the Sejm elections alone or with Platforma Obywatelska.

20:22

Bartoszewski:

I Always Said I'm Not Against Civil Unions

- There's no question that it bothered us [LGBT issues in the European campaign]. That is to say, I personally have always said – I'm not a party member and perhaps have a bit more freedom – that I am not against civil unions, especially since most civil unions in Poland are not same-sex unions, but rather people in the countryside living together without formal marriage and even having children, and this needs to be legally regulated. As for the Polish People's Party (PSL), the PSL is ready to look into this, but the PSL says no to same-sex marriages and no to child adoption - stated Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach". As he pointed out, the Law and Justice party (PiS) played this topic very cleverly, because decisions on worldview issues are not made in Europe.


20:25

Paszyk:

If the retirement age was lowered today, the PSL would certainly not have a hand in raising it

- One must be responsible in politics. If the retirement age was lowered today, then certainly the Polish People's Party, which I have the pleasure of representing, will not have a hand in raising the retirement age after the next elections or any elections thereafter - said Krzysztof Paszyk in an interview with Danuta Holecka on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.


20:26

Bartoszewski:

Kaczyński Made a Catastrophic Mistake by Letting Himself Be Outflanked from the Right

- This is a colossal mistake by Chairman Kaczyński, whom I consider a very good politician, but in my opinion, in this instance, he made a catastrophic error because he allowed himself to be outflanked from the right, which he never permitted before - stated Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


20:34

Żukowska:

I'm not like Nowacka, dissolving the coalition the day after losing elections. If the European Coalition project was established, we won't abandon it overnight. If it cannot be maintained, we'll be open to talks with the left.

- I am not like Mrs. Barbara Nowacka, who would dissolve a coalition the day after losing elections. A tragedy, therefore, let's flee and look for some new political reality. I am currently referring to the electoral coalition. The United Left, of which Barbara Nowacka was the leader. I am talking about the coalition that ran in the parliamentary elections - said Anna Maria Żukowska in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

- If this project (the European Coalition) was established, we will not abandon it overnight. If it cannot be maintained, and there is such a risk because the Polish People's Party (PSL) is leaning towards the conservative side, then we will be open to talks with the left - added Żukowska.
