Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will be visiting Lower Silesia. At 10:45 he will visit the Toyota factory in Wałbrzych, and at 11:50 he will give a statement to the media in Szczawno-Zdrój.

At 13:30, Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz will hold her press conference on green investments within the ministry.

- The new head of the European Commission very clearly emphasized that she would like there to be balance in the European Commission, in the European Union, and that the Central and Eastern European region, which is particularly important from Poland's perspective, be appreciated. It is evident that these consultations regarding the staffing of important positions in the Commission are aimed at creating such a balance - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Katarzyna Gójska on "Sygnały dnia" on Polish Radio Channel One.

– *No, I didn't [fly with Marshal Kuchciński]. In fact, I regret it, because now I could have told you how pleasant it was, but I didn't fly, so I have nothing to talk about* – Ryszard Terlecki stated in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

– *It seems to me that everything is explained in great detail. The Marshal has a huge number of various duties, meetings, and also foreign trips, because he represents the Polish parliament, and he also has his constituency, so he is the head of the Podkarpackie region, so these trips are fully justified and I see nothing unusual here, apart from the silly season. It happened that he took his son or daughter. This doesn't change the situation of the flight in any way* – the head of the PiS parliamentary club continued. As he emphasized, the plane is flying with the Marshal anyway, so whether he picks up an MP, a journalist, or his son, nothing extraordinary is happening.

- I'm from Krakow, so I wouldn't repay. But I don't see a need [for Marshal Kuchciński to repay money for flights]. I think we're overreacting, and it also seems to me that with so many important things happening, dealing with such a detail is a bit like a summer lull effect - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

- Generally, I agree. We shouldn't exclude, as they say, anyone for various reasons, for their various differences, but we also need to understand those who resist such propaganda or promotion that aims to distinguish these communities. I'm thinking of people who organize these cyclical marches or parades, traveling from city to city. Who oppose such somewhat pushy propaganda - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

"What makes me happy today is that marches and demonstrations against hatred are being organized across Poland. What happened in Białystok, and especially what happened a moment after, is disturbing. A rainbow, colorful Equality March proceeds, where people demand dignity, are insulted and spat upon, and then the police apprehend some of them. They receive very light punishments. For almost a full day, the Minister of Interior remains silent. PiS politicians, who usually speak loudly and radically on much more trivial matters, are silent. They do not stand by the citizens who are demonstrating their right to exist in society, they do not stand by freedom, equality, human dignity, but by cowardly silence, they grant permission for hatred," said Barbara Nowacka, leader of Inicjatywa Polska, in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News.

“For what benefit, if not political, do parties suddenly announce such a joint initiative during an election campaign and try to make a topic out of it? Today, the topic should not be the [left-wing] demonstration in Białystok, but what to do to stop PiS from inciting hatred against non-heteronormative people and any other group that comes to their mind” – said the leader of Inicjatywa Polska, Barbara Nowacka, in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News.

„Grzegorz Schetyna doesn't want to go to Białystok for the demonstration organized by Mr. Czarzasty. We are in favour of registered partnerships and we will implement them. We will defend every person being destroyed and insulted by PiS, but people cannot be blackmailed into participating in their demonstration” – stated Barbara Nowacka, leader of Inicjatywa Polska, in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News.

- Today, the presidium of the [PiS] Political Committee will convene. We will finalize the lists in 23 constituencies. And on Tuesday, the entire Political Committee will meet to approve these lists. Then we will announce them. I think we will announce them rather in the constituencies, presenting the individual candidates - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

- We don't know [how many people from Kukiz’15 will be on PiS lists]. There are indeed a few individuals who have declared they will not run in a coalition or on a joint list with PSL. Some of them have approached us. We'll see. There are indeed a few people. Yes, [Tomasz Rzymkowski's name] might appear – stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

- The President likes to scare us like that sometimes. We're already a bit used to it, so we treat it with a smile. Of course, none of us can imagine the President retiring, and he certainly won't after the elections. As for what will happen in 10 or 20 years, we'll see. He likes to joke around with us like that sometimes - stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden" (One on One).

- We had a statement from the Minister of National Education - Dariusz Piontkowski, who said that such marches should not be organized. Well, more delicately. Whether they should be organized. Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin distances himself from this. Other PiS politicians also say they respect the freedom to organize gatherings, and at the same time, a statement emerges from the Lublin Voivode Przemysław Czarnek, who says he is for banning such marches, and there is silence, no reaction, no attempt at discipline - said Adam Bodnar in an interview with Jacek Żakowski on TOK FM's "Poranek".

„[Krzysztof Szczerski] is a very good candidate. I have the pleasure of knowing the professor, both as a scientist and as a politician. It is worth remembering that in 2014, when the PiS program was being developed, the international section of that program was written, among others, by the professor. He is an outstanding politician, as he gained a great deal of experience at the office of President Duda. The Three Seas Initiative, the President's own concept, with Professor Szczerski in the background. It is worth reading some of the good books he has authored. A man who possesses many essential competencies needed for this position [of commissioner]” - said Prof. Waldemar Paruch on TVP1’s “Polityczny Kwadrans”.

- For many years, he worked at the Supreme Audit Office in various positions. As Deputy Minister of Finance in our government, he carried out a reform of the tax service and in 2016 was appointed head of the National Revenue Administration, and now he is the Minister of Finance - Ryszard Terlecki told PolskieRadio24.pl, thereby confirming that Marian Banaś is PiS's candidate for the position of President of the Supreme Audit Office.

As we wrote on 300POLITYCE, the election will take place at next week's additional Sejm session on July 31. Then, later in the same week, the Senate will approve this candidacy, and the swearing-in will likely occur at another additional Sejm session on August 30.

Marek Kuchciński, the Marshal of the Sejm, has announced that he will cover the costs of flights taken by his family members on a government plane. The funds will be transferred to charitable organizations. This decision comes after public scrutiny regarding the use of official aircraft for personal travel. Kuchciński stated his intention to reimburse the state for these expenses and direct the money towards good causes, aiming to mitigate the controversy surrounding the issue.

"This is yet another instance where the opposition, lacking anything substantial to accuse the PiS government of, creates some fictitious, non-existent scandals. We remember the times when Prime Minister Tusk would fly his girlfriend's boyfriend on a government plane, while Marshal Borusewicz would dash home on a government plane to walk his dog. That was the moment to be outraged, not now. Marshal Kuchciński is the second highest-ranking official in the state. It has always been the case, this wasn't introduced by PiS, that such individuals are entitled to flights on a government plane, and when that plane is flying, it truly doesn't matter whether there's one or four people on board, the cost remains unchanged" - said Marcin Horała of PiS in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

„[Kuchciński] wants to be holier than the Pope, showing that if there is controversy, even though he has every right to do so, even though there is no question of any breach of law or abuse of power, if there is a societal perception that it's a lack of modesty, then the Marshal will rectify it and donate this small amount of funds to social causes. Although, there will probably be a problem with how to value it, because when a plane flies, the cost of the flight doesn't change depending on the number of people. Perhaps we will adopt the value of LOT tickets” – said Marcin Horała from PiS in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski in „Wydarzenia i opinie” on Polsat News.

„Standards in PiS are very strange. There is an affair. The Marshal is indeed entitled to a government plane, but his family is not. If someone treats a government plane as a private taxi, hiding this information, it means the Marshal has something to be ashamed of. If the government refuses money to people with disabilities, denies many social groups, and the Marshal flies his whole family on state money. This is an example of arrogance and hubris” – said Marcin Kierwiński from PO in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on "Wydarzenia i opinie" on Polsat News.

– I noted with great sympathy the leader of the Warsaw branch of the Polish People's Party, Mr. Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski, who announced his presence, who believes that such marches against violence unite people above political divisions – said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

– I would be happiest if I saw Minister Witek and the Prime Minister in Białystok on Sunday – continued the leader of Razem.

– Millions of Poles want the state and politicians to tell them that their safety is important to them, the most important thing, that they can say it together. I have such hope that this will succeed, but I am also convinced that this is our duty, because my state is the Republic of Poland, not a bandit-Nazi Republic, and it is the duty of politicians to bravely stand in its defense – stated Zandberg.

- We are diverse, and this is something we've been saying for years. People who dislike the Law and Justice government are very diverse and hold very different views, and the attempt to reduce them all to a single denominator was simply bound to fail – said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- Professor Bartoszewski is a member of the Polish People's Party (PSL). There will be many People's Party members from Podlasie. I wanted to very strongly agree with Adrian Zandberg here. Poland is one. There is no Poland A, there is no Poland B, there is no provincial or big-city Poland, and that is why we should all, especially politicians, ensure that every citizen simply feels good in this Poland, as if in their own home - said Piotr Zgorzelski in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on "Fakty po faktach" on TVN24.

- That statement by Marshal Terlecki [that he didn't regret not flying with Marek Kuchciński because he could have said how pleasant it was] was not only brazen towards the public, but bordered on contempt for all those who listened. I was an eyewitness to that scene and I thought to myself: no way - stated Leszek Miller in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- It is better if there are three blocs in the opposition that have ideological cohesion first. Secondly, it is a tripled number of candidates who can fight PiS, and thirdly, we in the opposition have made a commitment that we will compete amongst ourselves, while the opponent is on the entirely opposite side - said Piotr Zgorzelski in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- I was in favour of maintaining the European Coalition because, yes, the coalition lost, but only by 7 percentage points. Moreover, PiS won in Poland, but lost in Europe. This awareness that they lost in Europe should become increasingly noticeable within PiS. I think the grimaces they're putting on, intended to cover this up, are only masking their anxiety about what will happen next, because the issue of the Commissioner and so on is approaching. So I was in favour of this broad coalition, but alas, the PSL took out the first brick from this foundation, and now there's a different idea. The PSL probably decided they couldn't do otherwise, because they got scared that the slogans of cultural and societal leftism were negatively impacting their electorate, they retreated, and now we have a different landscape. We'll see what all this ends up with - stated Leszek Miller in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's 'Fakty po faktach'.
