- We want to buy, and we are buying, the best equipment. There are fields in which the United States is the undisputed leader. I'm thinking of artillery; I've managed to secure the purchase of the Patriot system, and HIMARS missiles - said Mariusz Błaszczak in a conversation with Henryk Szrubarz on "Sygnały dnia" on Polskie Radio Jedynka.

- We are still waiting for President Trzaskowski to wake up and take action that will lead to the resolution of the sewage treatment plant failure. From what we hear, this will take many months – said Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Henryk Szrubarz on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on Jedynka radio.

- I greatly respect and value Marshal Kidawa-Błońska, so I regret she was put in this role, but anyone who knows Grzegorz Schetyna, knows Polish politics, knows that he is a man who will not give up power to anyone – said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News’ "Graffiti".

- Nobody can be sure what will happen after the elections, because it will be the Polish people who decide on October 13th who will form a parliamentary majority. Talking about names, about who will or will not be prime minister, before then, is premature in my opinion - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

„Good ideas are worth implementing. After the recent statements by PiS politicians, I see that the only group having a problem with this decision are PiS politicians. This is the best proof that this decision is a good one. It was unexpected from them and is well-received by people on the street,” said Cezary Tomczyk from Civic Platform (PO) in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM Radio's "Poranek".

- If we have a parliamentary majority, one that allows us to form a government, then of course, yes [Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska will be Prime Minister]. I said it yesterday, I said it today and the day before yesterday. And I will say it tomorrow - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- In 2011, we were losing by 11 points a month, five weeks before the elections. These elections and the election campaign are truly only just beginning now, and all this complaining that nothing has happened in recent weeks or months is irrelevant. Holidays are ending, committees are registering, numbers are being drawn, names are in, and the real campaign is starting now – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

„Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska is an independent politician. Not only with her own achievements, but also a person who has her own independent position. I think [she has recognition] at the level of 70-80%. I remember research from a few months ago. Today, she must reintroduce herself as a candidate for prime minister” - said Cezary Tomczyk from Civic Platform (PO) in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on Radio TOK FM's Morning Show.

- It's difficult to be certain of victory when the polls don't favor the opposition and PiS maintains its lead. I believe that this decision [to nominate Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska] stems primarily from my many conversations with Małgorzata [Kidawa-Błońska], but it primarily stems from these many, many discussions we've had across Poland – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- I am the leader of the largest opposition party, and by necessity, every discourse between Kaczyński and me, at the PO-PiS level and regarding this conflict, which is strong and emotional, and real when it comes to the situation in Poland, has forced us to seek other avenues. If we hadn't found a new idea, and the best possible idea is Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, then we couldn't count on inviting or encouraging people to participate in these elections who are distant from politics, who are pushed away or alienated from politics by this kind of harsh, often aggressive, bad-emotion politics – he continued.

The parliamentary deputy, Konwiński, has reminded the public of the Law and Justice (PiS) party's voting record concerning legislation aimed at combating VAT evasion. This reminder highlights past parliamentary decisions made by the ruling party.

- The premise on which the question is based makes the question false – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet, when asked if he had listened to PR specialists from Israel advising him to step out of the spotlight.

Pressed on whether PR specialists from Israel had been hired and had advised him that he needed to step aside, the Civic Platform leader replied: - Exactly as you said. And I want to state very clearly that this situation is a well-thought-out move that is intended to create a new opportunity for the opposition, but also for Poles, primarily for Poles, so that they engage in these elections, so that they believe that Polish politics can change, that Polish politics, Polish politicians are drawing conclusions from what they hear on the streets, in public places, in conversations with voters. This is a new quality.

- It's not as if Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska is an accidental figure in politics. [Beata Szydło] was the person who ran the president's campaign. Please look and remember how she was treated by President Kaczyński, how decisions are made today, tomorrow, and yesterday at Nowogrodzka Street. It is Beata Szydło as prime minister, and now Morawiecki, who travel in government limousines with the Council of Ministers to Nowogrodzka Street to listen and receive instructions – he continued.

“First, let's get into the Sejm. We tell Grzegorz Schetyna: 'Grzesiek, you won't have 50% + 1'. Therefore, speaking firmly now that Ms. Kidawa-Błońska will be Prime Minister is a bit like with that Gowin and Macierewicz situation. She will be or she won't be. 'You informed your potential partners that this is how it should be. It could have been that way if the European Coalition still existed, and you were our leader as Kosiniak-Kamysz and I wanted, but that's no longer the case. You resigned from leading the opposition. On your own, because you couldn't manage, so it's difficult for us to accept now, but we are considering it warmly'” - said the head of SLD, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, in a conversation with Karolina Lewicka on Poranek Radia TOK FM.

- There will be a question about embarrassing matters: where the money came from, what Orlen's involvement is in the election campaign. An inquiry to those who spend this public money in Orlen, who are involved in the election campaign. We will expect full disclosure of the financing of this operation. I also want to know if the arrest of the former Orlen CEO, Jacek Krawiec, was coordinated with the preparation of this pathetic happening by Morawiecki and Brudziński - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- We will primarily focus on direct contact with people. Lots, very many meetings at this grassroots level, in county towns, in local communities. I believe that to also break the monopoly of public media and everything that is happening there, we must be in direct conversation with people, and this will be a different campaign than all previous ones - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- According to President Pence's words, President Trump wants to visit Poland this autumn. This is currently still being coordinated between the presidents' cabinets. I believe that in the next few days, we will know the answer to the question of when President Trump will arrive in Poland - stated Błażej Spychalski on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.

- At the end of 2022, the long-term gas supply contract with Gazprom expires. It is a monopolist. We will break free from this monopoly. The strategy is that the pipeline from Norway will be ready by then, and the gas terminal in Świnoujście will be expanded. Then, all our imports will come from the north - said Piotr Naimski in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski in "Sedno sprawy" on Radio Plus.

- We do not want this import, in the sense that we do not want structural coal imports into Poland. The entire coal mining sector in Silesia is undergoing restructuring. There are investments that take time. There are funds allocated for this. The goal is to balance our energy sector's demand for coal with the production of energy coal in Silesian mines. We import certain types of coal that are not produced in Polish mines, primarily for the retail market - said Piotr Naimski in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" (The Core of the Matter).

- We didn't talk about an embargo. We are in the European Union and we cannot impose an embargo on Russian coal, nor can we unilaterally, as Poland, impose duties on coal imported into the European Union, meaning into Poland - said Piotr Naimski in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's 'Sedno Sprawy' (The Core of the Matter).

The Sejm's Regulations Committee has begun work on a government amendment to the act on the performance of the office of a member of parliament and senator, according to which data on the assets of politicians' families will be publicly disclosed.

This is a result of the publication by "Gazeta Wyborcza," which reported on the Morawiecki family's plot of land in Wrocław, allegedly purchased at a price significantly below its market value.

- The President's decision [regarding running for re-election] is certainly still ahead of us. There is still a lot of time until the presidential elections next year, and I think that this decision will be made by the President sometime early next year, and the President himself will certainly announce his decision in this regard - stated Błażej Spychalski on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

- Poland is today talking about developing a method of taxation at the European level. Because indeed, we will have problems if every legal jurisdiction in Europe treats this matter in any other way - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Jacek Gądek on Gazeta.pl.

- The new commissioner, who will be responsible for competitiveness and the issue of free data flow, will realistically address this in the second half of next year, so we can realistically talk about this type of tax within a 2-year horizon - she added.

„When Marshal Kuchciński was dismissed by Jarosław Kaczyński, we said that it was just the tip of the iceberg, that the use of planes belonging to the Polish state by PiS politicians was the norm, that all important PiS politicians treated these planes like their personal cars. Yesterday's report on TVN24 shows the scale of this pathology. Over 1600 flights with HEAD status. It can be said that for 4 years, almost daily, a PiS VIP used a state plane for their own satisfaction, for their own comfort. These were not official flights, they were not official visits” - said Marcin Kierwiński from Civic Platform (PO) at a press conference in the Sejm.

„Today, we are asking a public question and demanding information from the Prime Minister of the Polish government on this matter, how much money was spent in total over 4 years on these flights. We want to know exactly, down to the last zloty, how much money was burned on fuel for these planes, even though PiS oligarchs could have traveled in other ways” - he added.

„We know why Marshal Kuchciński was dismissed - so that public opinion would stop talking about the flights of the President, the Prime Minister, Macierewicz, or PiS MPs. We said then that we would not let this matter go. All the documents that are appearing in public opinion are documents from parliamentary interventions. Today, TVN24 is also getting access to them. The matter is extremely serious. To this day, no consequences have been drawn against the head of the Chancellery of the Sejm, the head of the Information Centre of the Sejm. These people are still working in this building” - said Cezary Tomczyk from PO.

„We are very pleased that the ‘tankers of shame’ campaign has garnered such significant interest, such in-depth analysis of where the tankers come from, whether they are paid for, insured, how much they consume per kilometer, and whether they pollute the environment. In response to this, I want to inform you that the tankers are rented from a private company by the PiS Electoral Committee. The PiS EC logo is affixed to the tankers, and as for how they are paid for and how much they cost – in accordance with the Electoral Code, everything will be included in the financial report, which will be submitted to the National Electoral Commission (PKW)” – said Krzysztof Sobolewski, head of the PiS Executive Committee, at a press conference.

„It's interesting that four of our tankers concern Grzegorz Schetyna more than tankers from their time. Paraphrasing, one could say that you see a canister around your neighbor, but not the tankers in your own. We would very much like our opponents to address the figures we present, such as when 600 tankers entered, how they traveled across the country, sold illegal fuel, and no one noticed” – said PiS deputy spokesperson Radosław Fogiel at a press conference.

- You have long been engaged in a smear campaign against Poland, claiming that the procedure for nominating judges is politicized. In reality, in Poland, judges are selected by a council composed mostly of judges. However, in other countries, such as Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, politicians not only directly select judges, but politicians also become judges. As was recently the case in Germany. In Austria, judges are appointed by the politician president upon the proposals of government politicians. Where are these equal standards? These examples clearly show that the selection of judges in Poland is less politicized than in other EU countries. But you, Mr. President, still prefer your populist approach against Poland. Can you explain why a system where politicians appoint judges is less political, and a system where judges appoint judges is more political? - stated Patryk Jaki during a debate on the rule of law at a meeting of the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the Committee on Legal Affairs.

- One cannot use the argument of democracy due to having a majority and disregard the principles of the rule of law in doing so. This argument is unacceptable because it is an argument that was used by dictators in the 1930s in Europe. Let me remind you that every vile ruling of the Nazi courts was based on law. They were in fundamental contradiction with the rule of law, fundamental rights, but they were based on law - said Frans Timmermans.

- There is opposition against this [social] trust. The other side has a significant and very serious advantage in various media, constantly attacking, trying to find fault with everything, as they say. They're always inventing something. Every matter we handle is essentially deemed bad. Even if a law is later voted for, it's obvious for parliamentarians, but perhaps not for most of you. If there's a law that later receives almost 100% support, an hour or two beforehand there's still shouting against it. That's how it is. Because they can't accept anything. They can't accept anything good, even when for political reasons they realize they can't burden themselves with a vote against it. That's how it looks right now. And we must do everything, and this applies not only to PiS activists and our allies, but also to anyone who wants to act in the best interest of Poland during these heated days and weeks. We must do everything to reach Poles, to convince them, to tell them how it really is. Because even those tankers I mentioned, which are the topic of the day, will certainly not reach everywhere, not under every roof, as they say. Because where other programs are presented, there might not be a single word about them. Instead, there will be talk of some alleged abuses on our part, or that I, as an MP, performing my parliamentary duties, without having the slightest idea what it was about, replied to a certain lady who later turned out to be a hater. I sign dozens of such letters every day. But they even try to make a scandal out of that. And it's not about me, I'm not afraid of that, it's about making you realize what this is about, that they're not making a mountain out of a molehill, because there isn't even a molehill, it's just from nothing, from the fact that I'm performing my parliamentary duties, they're creating a scandal, while big scandals, involving billions, are simply not discussed – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS convention in Siedlce.

- A social market economy is, first and foremost, a fair distribution of goods. A fair distribution of what is generated by society. The state, as you know very well, has not had such a truly fair distribution of goods for a long, long time. This fair distribution of goods only began four years ago - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting with the residents of Sianów.

- Poland is so precious that people were ready to give their lives for it to exist. Therefore, we must strive with all our might to make it as strong as possible, to make it function as smoothly as possible. It must be governed honestly, we must recognize the ordinary person," said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting with the residents of Sianów.

- We reinstated the unfairly raised retirement age. Somehow, 500+ is being paid out, the retirement age has been lowered. Poland was supposed to collapse, yet here it is flourishing. Why wasn't this done until now? Why did we have to wait so long for us to start functioning like a normal, honest, Western state - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting with the residents of Sianów.

„Society, the citizens of our homeland, will be answering the following question in the elections: namely, whether we are to continue the good change, everything connected with our government's social policy, economic and financial policy, with the great repair of public finances, with our international policy, which strengthens not only our position and security status, but also our dignity, as we could recently see on September 1st, or whether there will be a reversal, a return to everything that was, that we know, that has been described” – stated PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński during the party's convention in Siedlce.

"A peculiar convoy with a tanker of shame has arrived in Siedlce. A tanker of shame and disgrace of the previous governments, the PO-PSL governments. For years, probably every day for 8 years, 600 such tankers entered Poland, which were sold without excise duty. Over these 8 years, this amounts to approximately 60 billion PLN in losses. This is an example of how Poland was governed. It is hard to imagine that smuggling on such a large scale would go unnoticed. Poland was being robbed during this entire time" - said PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński during a convention in Siedlce.

„We are in favor of a policy of sustainable development. We already did this during our previous governments. I know that the Masovian Voivodeship faces a difficult problem due to very high revenues in Warsaw. We want to resolve this issue. We want to resolve it, because even despite certain steps taken regarding the EU, which were indeed taken, it is not enough. It will have to be done in such a way that there will be a Warsaw and Surroundings Voivodeship and a Masovian Voivodeship” - said PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński during the PiS convention in Siedlce.

“I could say that Morawiecki retreated from Warsaw to Wrocław, and then from Wrocław to Katowice. Someone who misunderstands politics like Morawiecki in the context of an election campaign shouldn't speak so rudely. I'm not retreating from anyone. When planning to run in Warsaw, I said that the key was a debate with Jarosław Kaczyński, to which Joachim Brudziński replied that there was no chance or possibility, that Kaczyński doesn't debate” – said PO chairman Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

„I don’t regret the electoral results of my last, second-to-last, and earlier elections. Just like Kaczyński or others, I am among those on the front line of the political battlefield. In these elections, Poles expect an attempt to find common ground, a dialogue. This campaign will be very sharp, tough. It seemed to me that my decision and the demonstration that Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska is the best proposition, the best candidate for Prime Minister, shows that personal ambitions must be set aside to display how strong the desire to win is” – said PO (Civic Platform) leader Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) on Polsat News.

“Czarzasty must cross the 5% threshold for me to ask his opinion on appointing a Coalition Prime Minister. We will certainly find an agreement. I prefer to speak well or very well about the opposition, and we must work in parallel to achieve the best possible result” – said PO chairman Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on „Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- It's at a point now where everyone is attacking us today, from all sides. And PiS is afraid, I don't understand these fears from the Platform. We are not looking for an enemy in the opposition. Of course [I would make the same decision regarding the coalition again], because today one can choose the greater good, not the lesser evil, and the mobilization of individual electorates is visible. The liberal electorate with Platforma, the left-wing with SLD, or the centrist, and I think it will be beneficial for us and for Poles, for our choices, for the alignment of our views with whom we are voting, and that has been achieved. This is a chance for real choices of greater good, not the lesser evil – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

- There was no systemic reform. Cases are taking even longer in courts than before. These backlogs are still present. No reform of the justice system in Poland has taken place. It was just a personnel coup - said Anna Maria Żukowska in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” Polsat News.

- I will answer this question in two parts. The first part concerned Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, Madam Marshal, Gosia, because we are on first-name terms, I value her highly and like her, because she is a good person. And that is a personal assessment. The second is a political assessment. I understand that for 4 years, the way the government has been run is being criticized. Governing from the back seat by an ordinary MP, who as party leader does not take responsibility for himself, and I do not like that method. I believe entirely differently. That Poland needs to be restored to normality. This is a marketing ploy that was already used by Jarosław Kaczyński, and is now being repeated by Grzegorz Schetyna. I take 100% responsibility. If I am the leader of a party, then we, in the PSL, when we elect a leader, are convinced that he is ready to hold the highest offices, if the citizens entrust us with these offices and these positions, the places where power is exercised. So this is about restoring normality, because today the situation is abnormal, that the party leader who makes the decisions is not the prime minister - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" on Polsat News.

– Mr. Timmermans has dug his own grave. The entire debate about the justice system in Poland and the need for its reform stems from the fact that after the communist period, which after World War II was built by the Soviets on obedient judges, and these judges ruled until the 1980s, issuing sentences for political reasons and acquitting those who persecuted society, there was no thorough reform. The highest ranks of the judiciary were comprised of people obedient to the totalitarian system. Only these ignoramuses from Western Europe have no clue about it – said Krzysztof Bosak in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

- We persuade voters with our program, not with specific individuals we nominate as prime minister on behalf of the entire opposition. Civic Platform does not have the capacity to govern alone - said Anna Maria Żukowska in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the show “Wydarzenia i Opinie” Polsat News.

- The Confederation will enter the Sejm in October. In my opinion, this is clearly evident from the polls. Despite the fact that we are being silenced in the media, primarily the government-controlled ones - said Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.
