As announced, the Civic Coalition's lists in all cities are to be presented today. At 10:00 AM in Warsaw, a presentation of the Warsaw list candidates for the Civic Coalition will take place with the participation of PO leader Grzegorz Schetyna, and at 11:30 AM in Pruszków, a presentation of candidates for the list covering the Warsaw suburbs.

At 10:30 AM in Łódź, a press conference will be held by Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, during which the outgoing President of the Supreme Audit Office will announce his plans.

- Yesterday I expected such a decision [the resignation of Deputy Minister Piebiak], and it happened because every hour was further damaging PiS. My question is whether Deputy Minister Piebiak's practices are not represented more broadly within the Ministry of Justice, and whether the "green files" mentioned in connection with this slanderer affair are not also being compiled on political rivals within the PiS camp. Therefore, it is in PiS's own interest to investigate this thoroughly and more broadly than just concerning one deputy minister - stated Paweł Poncyljusz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- In my opinion, the fact that this is surfacing means that the scale of it could be much larger. I repeat: in my opinion, this could hit PiS politicians the hardest, and there are no limits to where this ends. I can fear that materials are being gathered on any of PiS's people. It is in the interest of Prime Minister Morawiecki and Chairman Kaczyński at this moment to clarify this matter - he added.

- Knowing the reality of the Ministry of Justice, I don't believe that Zbigniew Ziobro knew nothing about what Minister Piebiak was doing. This is not Ziobro's working model. He is rather a person who oversees what is happening in the ministry. It's possible that this was the furthest reaching action some collaborators within the ministry undertook, but only time will tell what the real situation is - stated Paweł Poncyljusz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- This is outright PRL. What Mr. Piebiak is doing is PRL, SB methods of compromising people and then drawing them onto some list of collaborators who are zealous informants or something similar - he emphasized.

- We have submitted what has been accepted by the Polish opposition, it is called the Senate pact. From the moment this pact was submitted, the parties began to discuss it seriously. That is, local government officials, PSL, Platforma, and Lewica. The effects so far are good. What's missing is the final dot on the i, which we are waiting for. This final dot on the i must be put by Platforma - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in a conversation with Michał Rachoń on the program "Jedziemy" on TVP Info.

- I said that [Antoni Macierewicz is a politician who was one of the best prepared for the role of Minister of Defence], but the truth is that I have dozens of accusations against Minister Macierewicz, regarding how he slandered people, fired generals, and even through Misiewicz, when he hired incompetent people in PGZ and brought in Autosan, Exatel, and shipyards for PGZ, when he had absolutely no idea about it, that he didn't mention that many programs he bravely presented at press conferences, like the purchase of Rak and Krab self-propelled howitzers or the bringing of American troops to Poland, are Platforma Obywatelska programs, that the Territorial Defence Force (WOT) is a concept prepared by General Pacek with Minister Siemoniak, but he [Macierewicz] constructed it differently – stated Paweł Poncyljusz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- Minister Macierewicz, with his Smoleńsk madness and cynicism, is absolutely to be condemned, and I have no doubts about that – he added.

- The fact that he resigned is nothing to praise him for. He should bury himself in shame and report himself to the prosecutor's office. This is a scandal - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Michał Rachoń on the TVP Info program "Jedziemy".

- A vote of no confidence against Zbigniew Ziobro will likely be necessary, because Mateusz Morawiecki believes that the dismissal of Mr. Piebiak closes the matter. But it does not - said Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM's "Morning Show".

- What needs to be done is to also inform in public media. I go to these media outlets, I accept invitations. I operate under the assumption that it is also a place where we can say that what public media present is a distortion of reality - said Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM's "Poranek".

- If it's a [civil partnership bill] project that addresses the Civil Code, where we regulate inheritance matters, access to medical information for partners, then my hand won't even tremble. We need to do something about it. A separate and very deep discussion should arise regarding where this is to be situated and how to ensure that the family in the Polish legal system is not equated in all aspects with a civil partnership. I'm thinking primarily about children. We then have the risk of reaching child adoption, which is not yet common even in many EU countries. Yes, only and exclusively [my concern about civil partnerships is solely related to child adoption] - stated Paweł Poncyljusz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- The pact has become a reality. Even if agreement wasn't reached in a couple of places, firstly, there's still a possibility to finalize it. I believe in most cases it has been reached. Perhaps two constituencies remain contentious. Let's be blunt. We've managed to assemble what we'd call a non-aggression pact – said Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM's "Poranek".

- There is no pact regarding the Senate. I completely deny it - stated Piotr Zgorzelski in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1. - There is no need to build any coalition. Because one puts forward their own candidate, they collect signatures, register, and run - added the politician from PSL.

- There are no common lists for the Senate. This is because the Senate election system is a majority system, so there are no lists there, only candidates. And from the very beginning, since June 1st, when we first announced the formation of the Polish Coalition and the PSL's lists, we said we would field our own candidates for the Senate, especially in constituencies where we calculate a realistic chance of winning a seat. Our main political forces are directed towards the Sejm, as we aim to achieve the best possible result there. Therefore, we will likely field 18-19, perhaps 20 candidates for the Senate, and this will be the case in some constituencies. Perhaps in 10, maybe 5 [we will have overlapping candidates with Civic Platform and the Left], everything will become clear in time. It is also up to our coalition partners to assess the value of our candidates and, if necessary, not to field counter-candidates. These are agreements at the voivodeship, regional level, and these talks are still ongoing - stated Marek Sawicki in an interview with Łukasz Jankowski during the morning program of Radio Wnet.

- We are also considering a motion for dismissal and a debate that we will initiate in September. Today, we are giving it time and awaiting Jarosław Kaczyński's decision. If such a decision is not made by the end of the week, there will be a motion to dismiss Minister Ziobro - Grzegorz Schetyna stated during a press conference.

- We are on the home stretch. It's a matter of polishing the final provisions and the last electoral districts, but an agreement will certainly be reached. I can say that directly today – said Grzegorz Schetyna during a press conference.

The Civic Platform leader was also asked about the candidacies of Kwiatkowski and Gawłowski.

- Final decisions from our side, the Civic Coalition, by Friday morning at the latest. Then we will hand over the list of candidates – stated Schetyna. 

- There are likely no doubts that if Prime Minister Morawiecki does not dismiss Zbigniew Ziobro, it means he feels complicit in everything that has happened at the Ministry of Justice and considers it normal. This means he considers the former security service (esbeckie) methods, which can be boldly spoken of, used during the PRL era against the opposition, against opponents – meaning looking into their private, personal matters and using them against them – to be a method that the entire Law and Justice party (PiS), including Mateusz Morawiecki, also approves of - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer at a briefing in the Sejm.

- I have made the decision to run in the parliamentary elections. I will be running for the Senate. For this position, where there is a greater chance of implementing good initiatives for the residents of Łódź and the Łódź Voivodeship beyond political divisions. I have also decided that I will be an independent candidate - stated Krzysztof Kwiatkowski at a conference in Łódź.

- We want to address the proposal submitted today by Grzegorz Schetyna. The proposal for a bill on separating the functions of the Prosecutor General and the Minister of Justice. We will begin by stating that Grzegorz Schetyna falsely attributed to the late President Lech Kaczyński the claim that he supported such a separation of these functions. As we all remember, President Lech Kaczyński always advocated against separating these functions - stated Anita Czerwińska at a PiS briefing.

- The President vetoed the Civic Platform's bill on separating the functions. The bill then returned to the Sejm, where with a 3/5 majority vote from the PO, PSL, and SLD caucuses, the President's veto was overridden. We believe that this kind of leaning on the authority of the late President Lech Kaczyński and attributing words, stances, and actions to him that did not take place is wicked and shameful - added the PiS spokesperson.

– The idea of separating the functions of the Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General, first and foremost, and most importantly, raises serious constitutional doubts. We, as PiS, simply believe that it would be an unconstitutional act. This is because the Polish Constitution clearly and explicitly states that among the tasks and responsibilities of the Council of Ministers is ensuring internal security and public order in the state. The prosecution service, and the functions it performs, clearly fall within this scope of ensuring internal security and public order. Therefore, excluding these competencies from the jurisdiction of the Council of Ministers would go against what the legislator, the creators of the Constitution, intended – stated Radosław Fogiel at a PiS briefing. According to the deputy spokesperson of the ruling party, a prosecution service deprived of the minister's oversight is much more susceptible to various local interests and cliques becoming entangled within different branches of the prosecution.

- Oh no, he's brilliant. We'll erect a monument to him for what he's doing. He's simply sinking the Platform. We are very happy about this because the Platform is a harmful formation. The worse, the better - said Marek Suski in an interview with Adrian Klarenbach on Polish Radio 24.

- From our point of view, he's brilliant. Grzesiu, don't give up, hang in there - added the politician.

- Minister Ziobro rules [what happens in the ministry], but of course, he doesn't rule over every single strange post. What happened is a matter of standards. Let's look at these standards, because the minister said today to one of the television stations that he does not accept this type of behavior. As soon as he found out, heads rolled – Michał Woś said in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.

- There is no possibility that Minister Ziobro did not control the ministry. Nobody believes that he did not know what his right-hand man was doing. But even if it is true that he was unaware of this hate industry organized by Piebiak and his people, then all the more so, how can such a man lead a ministry if he doesn't know what his closest associates are doing – said Borys Budka in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

- Who brought charges against Mr. Neumann? The prosecutor's office, which is in the hands of a politician, the party leader. In the hands of someone who uses the prosecutor's office for political purposes - said Borys Budka in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Events and Opinions" on Polsat News.

- Today's Poland, governed by PiS, differs from the Poland governed by PO-PSL in that then there were the equal and the more equal. Then, politicians in power could feel impunity; they could break the law with impunity. Today, every citizen, regardless of whether they are an ordinary Kowalski or an important politician from the ruling party, PiS, or the opposition, is treated the same by the state services - stated Jacek Sasin in a conversation with Michał Adamczyk on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

- If Mateusz Morawiecki believes that the inhabitants of the Silesian Voivodeship do not deserve a debate, then he is only testifying to himself. I treat the inhabitants of my voivodeship very seriously - said Borys Budka in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

- It indeed turned out badly that Minister Piebiak got entangled in such activities. Activities that today, if we thoroughly examine what we are dealing with, resemble settling scores within the judicial community between those judges who supported PiS's judicial reform program, Judge Piebiak, who was also employed in the Ministry of Justice by our predecessors, but that's absolutely no accusation, because he became very involved in the ministry's work during this term, and the other side, which remained in Iustitia and mercilessly fought these reforms - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

- In this matter, Minister Piebiak indeed erred, as did his collaborators in the ministry, and the reaction is immediate. Immediately after these details were revealed, Minister Piebiak resigned. His collaborators entangled in this matter are also leaving their jobs at the ministry – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

- Such a swift decision regarding Minister Piebiak's resignation. It closes this matter. The opposition will undoubtedly want to drag it out, because they will want to falsely and deceitfully claim that this type of activity, online hate, attacks on opponents, is a specialty of PiS. They are behaving like a thief caught red-handed. They say: 'it wasn't me' or they accuse everyone around. Let them start with themselves, let them look inward, let them remove compromised politicians. We await Neumann's resignation, the resignation of other politicians involved in hate speech. We await the removal of Ms. Jachira from the electoral list - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

- A system has been created that lays the foundation for a totalitarian regime. If we spoke about this three years ago, over three years ago, when the law on the prosecutor's office was being created, some looked at those who warned us as people who didn't know what they were saying. Meanwhile, the law on the prosecutor's office was created in such a way that two people in Poland, namely Ziobro and Święczkowski, have insight into all proceedings. They can issue orders to any prosecutor in Poland, and surely no one believes that this prosecutor's office will investigate anything in the case of Piebiak and those hate mongers from the Ministry of Justice - stated Borys Budka in a conversation with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
