"If we wanted to engage in politics solely to secure seats in the Sejm, just to pack ourselves into the Sejm, then of course. We should have continued the European Coalition a month ago. After all, we have a safe 20-30 mandates for the PSL. We don't care what our voters say, whether we lose voters, whether PiS wins these elections or not, whether they will have an independent majority. We only care about what happens to the 20-30 MPs from the PSL. If that's how we are to treat politics, then that's not what it's about."

– We would be people consumed by pride if we decided that we would win the elections. Even more so, speculating about a constitutional majority, and it doesn't look like we can have a coalition partner who would provide those missing votes – said Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Piotr Goćek on "Sygnały Dnia" on Jedynka radio.

- The second party can also lose, for example, 7 or 5 percentage points to PiS, but if there are two blocs, PiS will not necessarily have a majority on its own. In Małopolska, we have governed many times without ever winning elections. Neither has Platforma. There was even a year when the percentage difference between first and second place was over 10%, and it wasn't the one who won the elections that governed, but the one who had the ability to create an interesting, good coalition. This is also the case after these local government elections, and the d'Hondt method in local government is worse than in the Sejm - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- The preliminary draft assumes that the commission will include representatives of the Sejm, not necessarily members of parliament, but representatives of the parliament. Importantly, a 3/5 majority was proposed to avoid insinuations that the commission is not to have broad support. There will be a 3/5 majority and such a provision is in the draft. There should be a representative of the Prime Minister, the President, the Children's Ombudsman, and it should be an expert group that will also have powers related to the pedophile registry - said Michał Woś in an interview with Dorota Kania on Polskie Radio 24's "24 pytania".

- Why is PiS ruling alone today? Because a lot of votes were wasted. Because they didn't cross the threshold, but no offer was built that would give a chance for a stable crossing of the threshold. If PSL goes with a broader format, it will easily cross the threshold. If an agreement with Civic Platform isn't reached, because that would be more than just PSL, it would be the Polish Coalition, and that's why we must do everything to ensure votes aren't wasted, and also to mobilize voters - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego."

- A united opposition causes some voters to simply not go to the polls - the PSL chairman emphasized.

- [The deadline is] this week. This is not my deadline, this is a natural deadline for all of us. Representatives of Civic Platform are also talking about this - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- What ruined the election result? What did we discuss during the European campaign? About same-sex couples adopting children, which is unconstitutional, not in the Constitution, and which, moreover, most parties do not want to introduce - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- And he [Rafał Trzaskowski, by signing the LGBT charter] made a mistake - emphasized the PSL chairman. - It's just that if the PSL sets certain conditions, it means it will also have the strength, as it did in the coalition between PO and PSL, to stop leftist deviations, dangerous leftist deviations - he stressed.

"There is no decision from the President as to when he will announce the election date, and similarly, there is no decision from the President regarding when the parliamentary elections will be held. The President has not yet made these decisions. Various political circles are approaching the President with their requests, and this is how we interpret what Prime Minister Morawiecki said, i.e., a suggestion, a request to the President, that the elections should be on October 13. Other entities, such as Paweł Kukiz, have sent letters to the President" - said the President's spokesperson, Minister Błażej Spychalski, in an interview with Jan Wróbel on Radio TOK FM's morning program.

- We should look at ideological issues a bit differently, because we've become accustomed, from previous elections – I'm not talking about European ones – to a classic perception of ideological matters. However, in both of Jarosław Kaczyński's speeches [at the PiS convention in Katowice], there were two speeches, both very important and to be read holistically, a new ideological battleground with the opposition is outlined. In the European elections, PiS clearly stood in defense of the normal world, based on the principle of peace, stability, and development. President Kaczyński spoke very clearly about this, while the opposition on the other side offered an idea of revolution and radicalism during this campaign – stated Waldemar Paruch in an interview with Piotr Goćko on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

- I personally, as Marek Szolc sitting here, believe that the retirement age in Poland should be higher. Because we are living longer and in better health. I encourage all voters to attend on Friday and Saturday [at the Civic Coalition's program forum]. I don't want to spoil the surprise. I won't betray my colleagues who are dealing with the pension sector. We will present great solutions - stated Marek Szolc from the Modern party on TVP Info.

- Regarding the specific constituency, this information will be provided soon. Whether it will be Kielce or another city is still to be decided. It will certainly be an important electoral district where we can also fight for additional mandates, because it is also important for the Prime Minister to play the role of a locomotive in a constituency that is significant - stated Piotr Müller in a conversation with Adrian Klarenbach on TVP Info.

"In the 21st century in Poland, people cannot be treated, their lives cannot be saved, because they lack the most important thing that can give them relief – medication. They leave the pharmacy, throw up their hands, unable to continue their treatment. The situation is dramatic" - said Sejm Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a press conference.

"Over 500 medications are missing. These are very important medications. This is the biggest crisis in drug availability in Poland's history. There are shortages of vaccines for children and adults. People come to us and say they received one dose of the measles vaccine and the second is unavailable in pharmacies. There are shortages of medications for asthma patients, and insulin for people with diabetes. It's a major crisis, and the Ministry is not reacting. The Ministry should immediately conduct an emergency purchase and an audit of drug availability" - added the head of Civic Platform's staff, Krzysztof Brejza.

- This verdict concerns me, but in reality, it concerns everyone who struggles with hatred and vitriol online, who has to face threats from anonymous accounts - says PO MP Cezary Tomczyk to 300POLITYCE.

Today, the man who anonymously threatened the Civic Platform politician with death on the internet received a one-year suspended prison sentence for two years and a fine.

- This verdict shows that no one on the internet is anonymous. Even if someone uses an anonymous account, there is still a person on the other side who is responsible for their actions - the parliamentarian emphasized in a conversation with 300POLITYKĄ.

Tomczyk dedicates this verdict to all those fighting against online hate, because - as he says - this problem can affect any of us. - There comes a moment when you have to say: stop the hate - he added.

„This will be a benefit of 500 zlotys per month, which we want to take effect from October 1st of this year. Time is quite tight, as there are very few Sejm sessions ahead of us. That is why today, after a very long and fruitful discussion at the Council of Ministers, we are implementing this project for people with disabilities. It is part of the Accessibility+ package, which we announced a year ago, primarily concerning the removal of various barriers, but in a broader sense, it aims to increase the possibilities of obtaining additional funds for rehabilitation, medication, and support for those who care for disabled individuals” - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

„In the most intuitive, and at the same time, humane way, we have decided to initially include those individuals who have a ruling of total disability related to the inability to function independently in society. We are linking this entire system with the ruling system. The ruling system must be honest and fair, and work on this system, as I announced a year ago, has been ongoing in recent months, and today ZUS is hiring new examining physicians” - he added.

- The government will address lowering the personal income tax (PIT) from 18% to 17%, a 6% reduction, or 1 percentage point. This is the most noticeable, widespread reduction in PIT for 24 million Poles in many years. We will address this next week - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM). 

„I will encourage everyone to engage in talks. The city of Gdańsk is an example of a place where various solutions can be developed through dialogue. The August Agreements are a prime example. I will also ask Mr. President Andrzej Duda – once the legislative process in parliament concludes – to consider the matter of signing this act [concerning Westerplatte]” – said the Mayor of Gdańsk, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, at a press conference in the Senate.

„We witnessed an attempt at conversation, a discussion. I will only say this: the City of Gdańsk's offer regarding real cooperation on the memory of Westerplatte is still valid. My offer is to contribute land to a newly established institution, but with influence over its structure and co-management of this future institution. We heard from Minister Sellin today that it is actually unclear how the Westerplatte Museum will look, that perhaps a competition will be announced, perhaps some bodies will convene to discuss it. I am very happy about this, because the memory of Westerplatte should be discussed, debated” - said Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, Mayor of Gdańsk, at a press conference in the Senate.

– The thought comes to mind that perhaps student solutions should be utilized. I don't know if there's still a chance for that, but perhaps students who didn't get into any school could look for a suitable one abroad – said PiS Senator and Deputy Minister of Science Andrzej Stanisławek in an interview with "Kurier Lubelski".

The government spokesman has already reacted to these words on Twitter. – The government strongly distances itself from Deputy Minister Stanisławek's statement. It is flagrantly contrary to the government's actions. In view of this fact, appropriate consequences will be drawn – wrote Piotr Müller.

- I would like to apologize to everyone who felt offended by my statement to „Kurier Lubelski”. I did not authorize the statement given over the phone. During the conversation, I mentioned that I deal with international student exchange and that such an exchange for secondary schools is worth developing. However, this has absolutely no connection with the ongoing recruitment for the first grades. Out of a sense of responsibility for the good of the United Right camp, I have decided to resign from the position of Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education - wrote Andrzej Stanisławek in a statement published on Facebook.

The Smoleńsk Subcommittee has summoned Krzysztof Tomczyk for an interrogation. The politician announced this on his Twitter account. The announcement was made in reference to a link to his Twitter profile, which included the message: "I have been summoned to appear before the Smoleńsk Subcommittee. I will definitely show up. I am not afraid of any questions." The Subcommittee is investigating the causes of the 2010 plane crash in Smolensk, Russia, in which Polish President Lech Kaczyński and 95 other people died.

- I know that Minister Piontkowski will now be meeting with the mayors of larger cities and will discuss this issue with them to resolve it. Our shared concern, both of local government and the government, is to ensure that the fewest people feel disappointed in connection with these admissions to post-primary schools - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

- Whether it will be considered by the government next week is not yet decided. However, this act will certainly be resolved during this term, I can assure you. I want to unequivocally declare that the reduction of income tax from 18% to 17% will happen this term and will be effective this year - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

“The Constitutional Tribunal works, it functions and, contrary to various media reports, thus comparing a year-round workload in previous years with a few months' work [this year], I must say that 37 cases have already been resolved. Tomorrow there will be a plenary hearing, next week there will be a plenary hearing, so the Constitutional Tribunal will have a vacation this year, but a very short one” – said its President, Julia Przyłębska, in a conversation with Danuta Holecka on “Gość Wiadomości” on TVP Info.

“The Tribunal is absolutely not paralyzed” – she added.

„The case has been submitted to the Constitutional Tribunal. The President exercised his prerogative. He could sign the act, veto it, or refer it to the Constitutional Tribunal for review before signing. I have already appointed the rapporteur, as the case will be heard by the full bench. Judge Justyn Piskorski has been appointed. The judge is already reviewing the case, and the entire bench is considering it. The entire matter is being processed” – said the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Julia Przyłębska, in an interview with Danuta Holecka on "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

„I am appalled by the Supreme Court First President's recent statements” – said the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Julia Przyłębska, in an interview with Danuta Holecka on „Gość Wiadomości” on TVP Info.

„It is untrue that the Tribunal does not submit reports. The Tribunal submits reports every year. I am questioned in both the Sejm and the Senate. I have grown accustomed to it, but I disagree with politicians criticizing and presenting untrue theses. However, if the highest judge of the Republic, the First President of the Supreme Court, says this, does not weigh her words, makes assessments and presents untrue theses, I consider it a transgression of boundaries. I do not assess this in terms of ethics, but I believe that the First President should reflect and weigh every word. This is a form of slander” – she added.

„I would expect the First President to apologize to the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. If someone dislikes a court ruling, a Tribunal judgment, they can express their opinion, they can disagree with it, but it does not provide grounds for making such accusations, because it is untrue, and I can assure everyone that there is no situation at the Constitutional Tribunal where it acts on the prompt of any entity. Nor is there a situation where the Constitutional Tribunal commissions judgments to be written externally” - said President Julia Przyłębska in an interview with Danuta Holecka on "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

The Prime Minister's Office has accepted the resignation of Deputy Minister Stanisławek.

The announcement was made via a post on Twitter by Piotr Müller, the government spokesperson.

– Greetings from the Presidential Palace. Serious, fruitful talks about Poland. We had very similar views with the President on many issues – says Piotr Liroy-Marzec in a recording published on Facebook.

– Warmest regards – adds President Andrzej Duda.
