At 12:00 PM in Stalowa Wola, the #DobryCzasPL family picnic will take place with the participation of PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, and former Prime Minister Beata Szydło. Speeches will begin at 1:00 PM.

At 2:00 PM, the left-wing coalition of SLD-Razem-Wiosna will present their top candidates for the autumn parliamentary elections.

- If you're appealing to combat fake news, you need to do something about Prime Minister Morawiecki, as there seem to be two rulings on his words. And Marek Kuchciński's presence on the lists is a disgrace. These lists have several symbols: Zwiercan, Kuchciński, Andruszkiewicz. Lists of disgrace - said Marcin Kierwiński on Polsat News.

- I will not be running in these elections - stated Grzegorz Długi on "Śniadanie w Polsat News". - I believe there are so many excellent candidates that I don't need to. I am practicing my profession - he added.

The upcoming week in politics is primarily about the accelerating parliamentary election campaign. The opposition plans a joint conference regarding Senate candidates, the leftist coalition will hold a programmatic convention, and the parties within the Civic Coalition, led by Platforma Obywatelska, will convene their National Councils to approve electoral lists.

Opposition Senate Conference. According to unofficial information, the opposition plans to hold a conference next week, possibly on Monday, to announce an agreement on fielding joint candidates for the upper house of parliament. Our sources emphasize that Monday is a preliminary date, as details still need to be finalized between the individual parties.

Continued Campaigning. The upcoming week will primarily see the continuation of the election campaign, now officially underway after the president's announcement of elections. Individual parties that have registered electoral committees will continue to collect signatures for their lists. The deadline for registering committees is August 24th, but since this falls on a Saturday, the practical deadline will be the following Monday.

Civic Coalition National Councils. "We have reached agreements with our coalition partners. On Monday, the National Council of PO will convene, as will the decision-making bodies of our coalition partners: Nowoczesna, Inicjatywa Polska, and Partia Zieloni," Jan Grabiec told journalists. As reported by 300POLITYKA, the PO National Council was initially planned for the last Saturday but was postponed due to the long weekend. It will ultimately take place on Monday at 3:00 PM.

Publication of Draft Law Regulating Politicians' Flights. Michał Dworczyk announced at a recent conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM) that the draft of the so-called law regulating politicians' flights will be sent to individual parliamentary clubs for comments and opinions. "We will await them until Monday, 7:00 PM, and then, starting Tuesday morning, the draft will appear on the Public Information Bulletin website, and we will begin the official legislative process so that this project can be submitted to the Sejm session on August 30th," said the Head of the KPRM.

Leftist Convention. After presenting their lead candidates, the leftist coalition SLD-Razem-Wiosna plans to hold an electoral convention on Saturday at 1:00 PM, where they will inaugurate their election campaign and present their program for the parliamentary elections. "During the convention, we will present demands that are answers to the biggest problems faced by millions of Polish women and men. It's time that each of us no longer has to worry daily about the lack of affordable housing, the tragic state of healthcare and expensive medications, the destruction of the natural environment, and starvation pensions, the ZUS system that suffocates small businesses, and the trampling of women's rights," announced the organizers.

- If in 5, 10 years we want to live in a Poland that is much wealthier than today, much better, but in freedom, not subject to all that is happening, unfortunately, to the west of our borders, where freedom is in essence being liquidated, where people are already punished not only through so-called hate speech, but through administrative or judicial repression, for speaking their minds, so that this does not come to our country. Poland must be an island of freedom. It must be an island of freedom, of our freedom, of Polish freedom, and Polish freedom is precisely the right to have our sacred values respected, to live as we wish. For our lives to unfold according to the rhythm that was set centuries, millennia ago by those who created our faith. At the center of all this is the family, and it is this family, the normal Polish family, or even I would say not just Polish, simply a normal family, the one that the Polish Constitution also speaks of in Article 18, that we must defend. And it is precisely this family that Archbishop [Jędraszewski] is defending - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- I am pleased that in Poznań the prosecutor's office has dealt with those who – I apologize for this phrasing, but there is no other – slit the throat of the effigy of Archbishop Jędraszewski – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- We will not allow the Polish family to be broken, Polish children to be demoralized and sexualized from kindergarten, their childhood taken away. We will not allow drugs, we will not allow our homeland to become something that after some time will resemble a group of people who do not know what they are doing and who are, in fact, unable to make any decisions, and decisions are made for them by those who are conducting this campaign. Because that is the goal. And I repeat: this will not succeed in Poland. We will defend Poland - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- We will defend it [Poland] if, in October, on October 13th, the right decisions are made, and I must ask for this. I must ask all of you who are here, but also from this place, I ask everyone in Poland: support those who are developing Poland and defending Polish freedom, Polish custom, Polish tradition, and our religion. Support PiS, because that is the only way today. On the other side is what you have already seen, and let's not return to that. Someone once said, 'Let it be as it was.' It won't be as it was. It will be much worse. Therefore, I repeat once more: there is one option, PiS - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- For nearly 30 years, the elites of the Third Polish Republic convinced us that what had happened, what had befallen us, a state constructed in such a way, with such institutions as they were, i.e., the Third Republic, was the best that could have happened to us and absolutely nothing better could befall us. That's how we were convinced until 2015, and we believe that Poland can be better, that it is our fundamental commitment to strive year after year, term after term, for Poland to become ever better - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- From this perspective, PiS wants to be the party of Polish prosperity. We want to shatter these glass ceilings further, specifically for Polish families, because this is the foundation of our program and will remain the foundation of our program in the coming years. I hope, if you, the Polish people, trust us - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- We have a few weeks ahead of us, perhaps decisive for decades to come, so let's ask ourselves, our friends, our closest family, whether we want a state that is strong as steel, with a steel will to implement social programs, or a cardboard state; whether we want a state that looks with faith towards the implementation of its family program, or one again filled with doubters. We want to commit ourselves in the coming years to what is most important for Poland. Building a standard of living equal to or better than that in Western European countries. This is our goal. This is our benchmark today, but I believe that in a decade or two, relative to some countries, we will surpass that standard of living, we will live better, more beautifully, and also have much more freedom - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- We will not agree to the slitting of effigy throats, nor to any insults to Poles, Polish faith, the Polish language, or to historical lies - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at the PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- Those politicians who say one thing during their election campaign and then do another, and we certainly have such experiences, remember what Civic Platform (PO) said, we will not raise the retirement age, and then one of the first plans that was implemented was precisely raising the retirement age. We said: we will return to the previous retirement age and we kept our word many times. When we prepared drafts and programs, we said that everything would be realized. Today, after 4 years, we can say: yes, most of these projects have been realized, we have kept our word. But this is only the first step. We need more years to be able to fully realize this entire plan for building the Poland of our dreams. Poles have the right to feel like masters in their own country. All of them. Regardless of who they are, where they live, what their beliefs are, how old they are. Young people have the right to realize their dreams and ambitions. Families have the right to a dignified life. We all have the right to live in a safe, developing country, one that is our common home. And this is our greatest challenge and our greatest task that lies before us - stated Beata Szydło at the PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- Everything is in our hands. If we are together, if we support each other, respect each other, if there is a smile on our faces and a kind word for our neighbor, then I think everyone will be happy. Let's build such a Poland. It is our common home - stated Beata Szydło at the PiS family picnic in Stalowa Wola.

- We cannot allow this to happen [mutual destruction]. That is why a united left-wing club will be formed, which will consider how to ensure we are never divided again, because the left always wins elections when united, and loses when divided – stated Robert Biedroń in an interview with Diana Rudnik on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
