Bodnar:

I Will Not Resign
I will not resign. I have not considered it. I keep repeating that I have exactly one year, two months, and one day left until the end of my term - stated Adam Bodnar in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - [The option of resignation was not considered]. However, when the words "for the sake of peace" [of the Marshal of the Senate] are used, what does that mean? Is it for the sake of citizens' peace, or for my own peace? And in a situation, which happened a few days earlier, when information from my private life was used to attack me, I could of course wonder what this "peace" was meant to signify - the RPO (Human Rights Ombudsman) continued.

Dworczyk on the 500+ for the Disabled: The Bill Will Be Presented to the Government Tomorrow. I Hope Parliament Will Address It in July

- The bill that will ensure this PLN 500 benefit for the disabled will be presented to the government tomorrow. I hope the Council of Ministers will adopt this bill. Consequently, this bill should be submitted to the Sejm in the coming days, and I hope the Sejm will address this bill in July - said Michał Dworczyk in a conversation with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News' "Graffiti", when asked about yesterday's publication by 300POLITYKA.


08:09

Bodnar on Cohort Bulge: "It Seems to Me that in This Situation, Local Governments Truly Did Everything in Their Power"

- I believe that from the very beginning, all individuals observing the education reform process clearly stated: there will be a problem with the cohort bulge. I believe that the Ministry of National Education [should resolve this problem]. Yes, it seems to me that in this situation, local governments truly did everything in their power. I corresponded regularly with local government units. Various calculations were presented to me on how they were preparing for this, and it followed from them that they truly took their responsibility seriously. - stated Adam Bodnar in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

Dworczyk on Prime Minister's Words Regarding Election Date: 'A Thought Shortcut Occurred, Which the Media Later Made a Big Deal Of'

- A thought shortcut occurred, which the media later made a big deal of. We are dealing with a misunderstanding that has been clarified, because the Prime Minister spoke yesterday and emphasized that setting the election date is the exclusive prerogative of the President - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News's "Graffiti".


08:17

Dworczyk on the Pedophilia Commission: If Work is Completed Today, the Draft Will Be Presented to the Council of Ministers Tomorrow

- The matter has absolutely not died down, it has not disappeared. We are keeping our promises. Today, at the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers, the draft of this bill, also led by Prime Minister Sasin, will be discussed. If work can be completed today, this draft will also be presented to the Council of Ministers tomorrow, so that it can go to parliament in July - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News' "Graffiti".


08:36

Sasin:

We don't believe the election campaign needs to be extended indefinitely. It would be good to resolve the issue of governance for the next four years as soon as possible.

- We don't believe this election campaign needs to be extended indefinitely; it's ongoing anyway, even though there's no formal campaign at the moment. It would be good to resolve the issue of governance for the next four years as soon as possible – said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Marcin Wikło on TVP1's “Political Quarter Hour”.


08:39

Sasin:

The Opposition Today Follows in Komorowski's Footsteps. PO Cannot Communicate with Poles
- The opposition today is following in the footsteps of Bronisław Komorowski. This performance in Węgrów, in many places across Poland, these clumsy conversations, these answers to the question of what is your program: 'Come to Warsaw, and you will find out.' All of this shows that the opposition, Civic Platform, cannot communicate with Poles - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Marcin Wikło on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour."

08:44

Sasin on the Westerplatte Affair: What Dulkiewicz is doing is complete absurdity. Building the conviction that the Polish state is something alien, a malignant growth

- What President Dulkiewicz is doing, and following her lead, also politicians from the opposition, Civic Platform, is some kind of complete absurdity. Building the conviction that the Polish state is something alien, a malignant growth in relation to local government - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Marcin Wikło on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour".


08:51

Kwieciński:

Rejecting Evil, We Must Seek Good. This is the Main Challenge in All Actions

- This means we must seek good. If we reject evil, it means we must seek good, and it seems to me that this is the main challenge in all actions - stated Jerzy Kwieciński in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon", when asked about Jarosław Kaczyński's weekend remarks.

Szydło Heads to Węgrów for 12:00 Meeting with Residents

Radio Zet Publishes Kantar Poll Commissioned by Civic Platform:

Only a United Opposition Has a Chance to Fight PiS.
"Only a united opposition has a chance to fight PiS" - Radio Zet reported in the morning, citing a Kantar poll. According to the station, 40% of respondents declare support for PiS in the upcoming autumn elections, and only a united opposition - also consisting of PSL and SLD - has a chance to compete with PiS, as they are 3 percentage points behind the leader.  300POLITYKA confirmed with Kantar Public that such a study was indeed conducted. The client was Civic Platform, which Radio Zet's website failed to mention. - I confirm, the study was indeed carried out. The client was Civic Platform - Urszula Krassowska from Kantar wrote in an email. - If the opposition goes to the elections separately, PO can count on 26% of the votes, Wiosna on 6%, and PSL and SLD would find themselves outside parliament. Kukiz'15 has a chance to get into the Sejm as well - Radio Zet quotes the results of the study. The poll was conducted on July 3-4, 2019, on a sample of 1000 adult residents of Poland. According to Radio Zet, 77% of respondents declare their intention to go to the polls.

Czarzasty:

Kaczyński Proposed a Vision for PiS to Include PSL and Kukiz. There's an Idea to Build a Broad Coalition on the Right.
Yesterday, many missed it, but Jarosław Kaczyński also proposed a vision for PiS to include PSL and Kukiz. This means there's an idea to build a broad coalition on the right. On the side that I also represent, this idea also exists. The problem is that this idea has become blurred. The question is whether anyone still believes in it or not. I believe in it and consider that the only sensible idea is to continue building the European Coalition, regardless of what name it will operate under in the future, because it is, firstly, the only possibility to implement a different vision for Poland, and secondly, to win against PiS - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in Onet Rano.

11:06

Czarzasty on Autumn Election Coalition: 'I'm Waiting for Schetyna's Stance. If He Decides to End This Project, He Simply Has to Say So'

- It seems that the PSL has gone its own way at the moment, or is trying to go its own way. I am waiting for Grzegorz Schetyna's position on this matter. Mine will not change. If Schetyna decides to end this project, and he has the right to do so because he is the leader of the largest party creating this project, then he simply has to say: we are ending this project, a project that was my dream project, Grzegorz Schetyna says, it simply didn't succeed and we couldn't reach an agreement. This, by the way, in my opinion, will be very poorly received. I am waiting for that - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in Onet Rano.

Kropiwnicki:

PFN Lost Court Appeal Regarding Absurd Campaign on Courts; We Request Gliński to Conduct an Audit of the Foundation

- In recent days, the Polish National Foundation (PFN) lost a court appeal concerning an absurd campaign under the slogan "Free Courts" [referring to "Just Courts" - ed.]. The PFN tried to prove that this campaign was a campaign that met the conditions for promoting and protecting Poland's image. This is obvious foolishness, and the court confirmed that this campaign was not carried out in accordance with the foundation's statute. Therefore, we are calling on Minister Piotr Gliński to conduct an audit of this foundation. This foundation reports to him. We will also request that the former presidents of this foundation, Mr. Cezary Jurkiewicz and Maciej Świrski, return 8.5 million PLN, which they spent from the foundation's funds, which are maintained by State Treasury companies - said Robert Kropiwnicki during a press conference in the Sejm.


12:26

Szydło in Węgrów: We Came to You to Talk, to Together Think About Poland

- We came to you to talk, to together think about Poland, just as for three days we have been thinking about Poland and about what is needed in our beautiful homeland, what programs are necessary, what still needs to be done, but also to listen to your opinions on how you perceive life in Poland right now, what you expect. That's why we are here today - stated Beata Szydło in Węgrów.


12:30

Szydło:

We are heading into the election campaign, well-prepared for the next elections, substantively and programmatically.

- For three days, we discussed new programmatic ideas in Katowice. It has become, one could say, a custom of PiS that we head into the election campaign, well-prepared for subsequent elections, substantively and programmatically. These programs are born on various levels and in various ways. And this programmatic convention in Katowice was, in a sense, a summary of all this, of all the analytical work that experts have been conducting for many months, which government members have prepared, which has been shaped in various working and expert groups precisely to prepare a cohesive and coherent program on the eve of the election campaign, which will, on the one hand, be a continuation of everything that has been implemented since 2015 by these four years of PiS government, but will also be a new perspective and a new way to meet the challenges that face all of us, but above all, it will be the fulfillment of Poles' expectations - stated Beata Szydło in Węgrów.


12:36

Szydło in Węgrów: This is not a joke, not a dog day, not child's play. Politics is a serious matter. On the threshold of the campaign, everyone seeking your vote must remember this.
There are politicians who think that politics is sometimes, one can get the impression, like summer dog days, some kind of joke, a provocation, some mockery of someone, and then we move on. As long as the PR is good and it keeps going. This is not the case. Because politics is about something completely different. Politics is about responsibility, first and foremost, hard, honest work. It's not fireworks, but the everyday reality that must be dealt with in order to solve problems. But politics is about serving other people, and everyone who enters politics must remember this, and those politicians who sometimes forget it should be reminded, and today I also want to remind them of this. This is not a joke, it is not the dog days, it is not some petty provocation or, one might say, sometimes child's play, but a serious matter. Yes, politics is a serious matter, and on the threshold of the election campaign, it is necessary for all those who are seeking your vote to remember this – stated Beata Szydło in Węgrów.

12:40

Szydło:

We Fulfilled Our Commitments
We made a commitment to Poles in 2015 to implement a program that was primarily the result of the expectations and needs for the change that citizens spoke to us about so often during meetings back then. And most of these things, both social programs and investment and development programs, have been implemented. Therefore, I can stand before you today and say openly, with my head held high: we have fulfilled our commitments, although it was not always easy, although our work did not always proceed as we would have liked, at that pace, but we overcame successive problems. We faced challenges and even when we made mistakes, we were able to learn from them and move forward. We were consistent and remain consistent in the plan we are implementing - stated Beata Szydło in Węgrów.

12:45

Szydło:

We've Finished Programmatic Work in Katowice, Now We're Heading Across Poland

- We have finished our programmatic work in Katowice, and now we are heading across Poland to discuss our projects, ideas, listen to you, and also to incorporate your ideas into our program. We are starting from here, from Węgrów - stated Beata Szydło in Węgrów.


12:48

Szydło:

All Poles Should Be Able to Talk to Each Other, Respect Each Other's Views and Opinions

- I think the most important message I want to resonate very clearly here, in your city, is that we all, all Poles, should be able to talk to each other, respect each other, our views and the opinions of others, because everyone has the right to have their own opinion, their own view on a given topic, including politics, but we should all respect each other, listen to each other, talk to each other, and when necessary, simply be able to cooperate skillfully, even [despite] differences - stated Beata Szydło in Węgrów.


12:51

Szydło:

Let's Not Allow Ourselves to Be Divided and Set Against Each Other. The Programs Prepared by PiS Are for All Poles

- Poland is the home of all Poles, Poland is one. It is our common home, and we must all take care of it, and there is a place for everyone in the Polish home. Let's not allow ourselves to be divided and set against each other. We differ, and we will continue to differ, because that is natural, and I think the most important thing is that the programs prepared by PiS, the programs implemented by the PiS government, are for all Poles - stated Beata Szydło in Węgrów.


17:34

President Duda: It was crucial we went to the elections and showed not just ourselves, but also our partners that we take the EU seriously

- It was extremely important that we went to these elections and showed not only ourselves, but also others, our partners in the European Union, that we take the matter of the European Union and this extremely important institution, the European Parliament, seriously, that we are indeed choosing our representation there, which has a strong social mandate - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting with residents of Chorzów.


20:01

Neumann:

I'm a Bit Disappointed, But Not Angry. A Bit, Because I Believe the PSL's Decision is Wrong and Dangerous for Them Too

- I'm a bit disappointed, but not angry. A bit, because I believe the decision the PSL has made is a wrong and dangerous decision, also for the PSL, and perhaps mainly for the PSL. Deciding to run independently in the elections is a dangerous game with the electoral threshold - said Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.


20:02

Neumann:

The Only Coalition Exists Today on the Opposition's Side is Civic Coalition and Local Government Officials

- The only coalition that exists today on the opposition's side is the Civic Coalition and local government officials. We have an election staff. On Friday and Saturday, we have a two-day program forum that showcases our program - said Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Events and Opinions" on Polsat News.


20:03

Neumann:

Szydło, wanting to put on a show in Węgrów, stood on a platform with a microphone and was given fruit by so-called accidental residents. These were PiS activists.

- The difference between us in campaigning on the ground is that Bartosz Arłukowicz, Barbara Nowacka, Grzegorz Schetyna, or any of us can talk to people without protection, and today, Mrs. Beata Szydło, going to Węgrów wanting to put on a show, stood on a platform with a microphone and was given fruit by so-called accidental residents of Węgrów. These accidental residents were PiS activists - said Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.


20:10

WKK:

An Opposition List Composed of Several Groups Would Achieve a Very Good Result, But Will Not Win the Election
This list, if it were composed of several groups, would achieve a very good result. But it will certainly not win the election. I am convinced of this after the European elections - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

20:12

WKK on the Equality Parade: Wearing a Colander on one's head and profaning one of the most important Christian prayers is disgusting

- Things happened there that would offend non-believers. Wearing a colander on one's head and profaning one of the most important Christian, Catholic prayers is unacceptable. It is, you know, disgusting - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.


20:15

Gersdorf:

Judges Voicing Dissent Against PiS's Quasi-Reforms Face Mobbing
- The influence of disciplinary spokespersons is enormous, as is that of the Ministry of Justice. What is happening is, so to speak, in labor law terms – mobbing against those judges who express their stance on these quasi-reforms being implemented by Law and Justice. Let us recall that they were introduced under the slogan of speeding up proceedings. This was the main slogan that citizens applauded, because these proceedings were taking too long, but not scandalously long as was claimed. However, these accelerations are not happening. It's even worse, as proceedings are longer, because such reforms never favor a judge's calm work and deliberation – Małgorzata Gersdorf said in Kropka nad I.

20:15

Gersdorf:

This 'Quasi-Reform' Aims to Replace Judges and Make Them More Compliant with Power, Which is Unacceptable in a State of Law
- This quasi-reform consists of replacing personnel and the intention is to make judges more compliant with power, which is utterly unacceptable in a state of law, because a state of law relies on the equal division of power. The judiciary is meant to be separate - said Małgorzata Gersdorf on Kropka nad I.

20:20

Gersdorf:

We're Now Called Post-Communists Because Slogans About Corrupt Thieves Didn't Stick
- Recently we are being called post-communists because those slogans about corrupt thieves didn't catch on, as there were no such cases, so now we are post-communists. It was 9 cases that were shown repeatedly and a lot of money was even spent on those billboards. Some citizens thought that perhaps they were thieves. Now they talk about post-communists - said Małgorzata Gersdorf in Kropka nad I.

20:25

Fogiel on Election Timing: The Nicer the Weather, and There's a Better Chance of Nicer Weather in Early October Than at the End or in November, the Better

- From my experience of 'wearing out my shoes,' as the current fashionable phrase goes, the nicer the weather – and there's a better chance of nicer weather in early October than at the end of it or in November – the better it is for the campaign, for candidate participation, and also for engaging voters, Radosław Fogiel said in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Wydarzenia i Opinie' (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.


20:26

Gersdorf:

The President is Misleading the Public. These are Fake News
- The President is misleading the public because there are no cases of judges in the Supreme Court who ruled reprehensibly during Martial Law. I want to remind you that the Supreme Court was re-established in 1990. This is now the new mantra, that we are post-communists. Just as they wanted to associate me with the PZPR [Polish United Workers' Party], claiming I stood somewhere with Gierek. These are fake news, but people have been fascinated by it - said Małgorzata Gersdorf on Kropka nad I.

20:26

Fogiel on Civic Platform in Węgrów: They went on a safari to Eastern Poland. We'll show it online, it'll be funny. Unfortunately, that's how it looked.

- A Civic Platform team went to visit a shop run by a Law and Justice supporter, just to mock him and upload a video to the internet. They went on a safari to Eastern Poland. We'll show it online, it'll be funny. Unfortunately, that's how it looked - said Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.


20:29

Fogiel on calling RMF FM journalist "funny": I wouldn't use such words. I think they weren't needed.

- I wouldn't use such words. I think they weren't needed. It's already the Marshal's decision [whether he should apologize], perhaps the Marshal and the mentioned editor will meet and sort something out - said Radosław Fogiel in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the "Wydarzenia i Opinie" program on Polsat News.


20:30

Gersdorf:

Among Prominent PiS Representatives Are Those Who Belonged to a Party; It's Not Terribly Degrading, One Needs to Prove Someone's Guilt. The So-Called Reform Was About Personnel
- Among prominent representatives of PiS are also people who belonged to a party. It's not terribly degrading, one needs to prove someone's guilt. This so-called reform is intended to replace personnel. It hasn't contributed to shortening proceedings or to better prosecution of disciplinary omissions, but rather there's constant pressure on judges to be compliant. Minister Ziobro said so himself during a convention. And the authorities cannot be judges of judges – said Małgorzata Gersdorf in Kropka.

20:38

Gersdorf:

It was to be expected that President Kaczyński would not testify. This shows that the so-called ordinary person has no reason to expect protection if they oppose the ruling party.
- It was to be expected that President Kaczyński would not testify. And what's more, the lawyers who submitted these motions were still full of trust in the judiciary and the prosecution. This is unfortunately the reality, but it shows that the so-called ordinary person has no reason to expect protection if they stand up against the ruling party or the state. And this is dangerous. And I would very much like to show citizens that proceedings are not conducted, that there are "extraction arrests" [detention for the purpose of extracting information], proceedings are prolonged and silenced. This means that if a citizen stands up against the state, the same will happen. It's not as if we can sit back and say, "This is Birgfellner, and why should I care?" because it could be that any one of us might care. The independence of the prosecution and the courts is the foundation of the rule of law - said Małgorzata Gersdorf in Kropka nad I.

20:41

Gersdorf:

We Have a Constitutional Tribunal That Is Compliant and Rules as the Authorities Wish, and Now We Are to Have the Supreme Court Like That Too
- This is a whole sequence. We have a prosecutor's office - we didn't protest much, and that's a mistake. We have a Constitutional Tribunal that is compliant and rules as the authorities wish, and now we are to have the Supreme Court like that too - Małgorzata Gersdorf said on Kropka.

20:48

Gersdorf:

The Constitutional Tribunal operates based on its current judges and functions as intended by the Ministry of Justice
- I don't know how the Constitutional Tribunal works, because we don't go there, and there are no reports like there used to be. It operates based on its current judges and, as is apparent, functions according to the intended goals of the Ministry of Justice - Małgorzata Gersdorf said in the program 'Kropka'.

20:52

Gersdorf:

The President Believes He Can Do Anything
- The President believes he can do anything. He believes he can step in for the judiciary and pardon, that he can make judgments. He cannot. The Constitutional Tribunal rules as it rules. One can issue a pardon, a safe-conduct without a conviction, stating that someone is innocent in a given case. This is not the rule of law and a state governed by law if we do not respect the competences of authorities - said Małgorzata Gersdorf in Kropka.

20:56

Gersdorf Responds to Olejnik: 'I wouldn't say anything' to Kaczyński, 'He knows what I think'
- I wouldn't say anything, because what is there to say? He already knows what I think - Gersdorf replied when Monika Olejnik asked what she would say to her colleague from years ago, currently the leader of PiS.

21:13

Błaszczak on the Opposition: They Simply Don't Respect People. This Was Visible on Various Occasions. They Also Don't Respect Democracy, Because They Mock Ordinary People

- Yes, I saw it, I saw [the situation from Węgrów]. Indeed, it is behavior that shows the true face of those who are in opposition today. That cackling at ordinary people. And again, it was the same [when they went the second time]. They simply don't respect people. Besides, this was visible on various occasions. They also don't respect democracy because they mock ordinary people, they don't respect views other than their own, and that is precisely cackling at democracy, because in a democracy, the nation chooses its representatives. We respect democracy, the elections that take place. We present an election program, we are credible. This is extremely important in a democracy. Prime Minister Kaczyński yesterday, at the conclusion of the PiS program congress, emphasized: credibility is the foundation, and stated that as the leader of the party currently governing, he would wish the opposition to discuss solutions and programs - stated Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Danuta Holecka on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".
