PMM:

It's like the world's richest saying, 'Now we're raising train ticket prices by 500 percent' because they already fly planes
- It's like the devil dressing in vestments and ringing the bells for mass with his tail. I will say again, our predecessors did almost nothing in this regard - and this is the opinion of a European institution - period. However, we have initiated gigantic pro-climate changes in this truly vast area. We will also certainly do everything to pay the smallest bill for this compared to Western European countries. It's a bit like the richest people in the world saying, 'Now we're raising train ticket prices by 500 percent' - because they already fly planes anyway. It cannot be that the poorest bear the costs of climate change. Those who have developed fantastically must bear the greatest costs. And at the same time, we point out that we are the state that has reduced CO2 emissions the most since 1988: by over 30 percent - said PMM on RMF FM.

Polish PM: Today We Need a Good Compensation Package; We Discussed This at the European Council, and I Am Convinced It Will Be a Very Good Package for Poland
- Poland is not blocking this – Poland is simply in favour of this climate transition happening justly. Someone, at some point, could have developed fantastically after World War II, without any regard for climate considerations whatsoever. Today, we are a country that is not as highly developed as France, which has nuclear energy, or very wealthy Germany, or the Scandinavians, who have hydropower on the Scandinavian Peninsula. Today, we need a good compensation package, and we discussed this at the European Council. I am convinced that it will be a very good package for Poland – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Krzysztof Ziemiec's show on RMF.

PM:

This is what the next 10 days will look like, as none of the nominated candidates secured a majority
- This is a question all European leaders are asking themselves, and we are discussing it in a variety of bilateral and multilateral talks and teleconferences. This is what the next 10 days will look like, as none of the nominated candidates secured a majority... - the Prime Minister said in an interview with Krzysztof Ziemiec on RMF. Ziemiec asked the PM about the candidacies of Weber and Timmermans: - Neither of them secured a majority - and in particular, we will now discuss potential new candidates. The European People's Party won the elections, and it reserves the right to present its next candidate. We, on the other hand, have a large number of MEPs. Our electoral victory on May 26th was noticed everywhere in Europe. We are very conciliatory, compromising, but we want the voice of Central Europe, which is strongly expressed by Poland, to be heard well in Brussels. Our interests must be well protected there - the PM said.

PM on the "Salary Plus" Plan: So that Poles Earn at a European Level. This is a Multi-Year Program That We Have Placed at the Top of Our Priority Pyramid
- I listen to Poles, I listen to what they expect, I discuss it with ministers, and we conduct a review of individual ministries. This is precisely for what we want to achieve in the next five months and what we want to achieve in the next five years, to show a certain perspective, what we want to do, how we want to continue our program. Perhaps I will tentatively call it "Salary Plus." That is, so that Poles earn at a European level. This is a multi-year program that we have placed at the top of our priority pyramid - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on RMF FM.

PM Asked About Rumors of Tusk's Candidacy for EC President: This Issue Has Never Appeared in Public Discourse
- There was no discussion on this topic at all. This option is not seriously considered by anyone. This issue has never appeared in public discourse, and during a press conference, both Mr. Juncker, who made a joke, and Mr. Tusk himself denied it - the Prime Minister said on RMF FM, when asked by Ziemiec about the rumors concerning Tusk's candidacy.
