"We have shown with previous announcements that we act swiftly. It's not the case that we postpone work. An announcement was made on Saturday that the minimum wage will increase to 2,600 zloty from next year. This is more than the government initially planned. The proposal presented by the Minister of Family was 2,450 zloty. That's what the government initially accepted as a proposal for talks in the tripartite committee. This is the beginning of a process to raise the minimum wage up to 4,000 zloty within 4 years" – said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin on Jedynka radio.

Sasin:
If We Win the Election, the 13th Pension Will Be Statutorily Guaranteed; It Will Be a Permanent Mechanism Introduced into the Legal System. Then Similarly, the So-Called 14th Pension.
“The 13th pension will be a permanent mechanism. We will adopt a law that will guarantee it, it will be a statutory mechanism for the 13th pension to be paid out every year. If we win the election, such a permanent mechanism will be introduced into the legal system. Currently, we have an additional proposal regarding 2021, and then we would also like to implement it as a permanent mechanism, so it will be not only the 13th, but the 14th pension, or the 13th pension twice a year. We will present the details in the coming weeks” – said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin on Jedynka radio.

Emilewicz:
We've spoken about maintaining the 13th pension from the start, so it's not a new social transfer
- We've spoken about maintaining the 13th pension for retirees from the very beginning, since we introduced it, so it's not a new social transfer. There is a draft budget, it has passed the first reading in the Council of Ministers. We still have to work on it, so this next 13th pension will be secured - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" program.

The Voivode as Government Representative for Security and Communication Matters – That's Needed. Not a Voivode Dealing with Schools and Healthcare
- In the current system, many tasks of the voivode and the regional marshal overlap. This is unnecessary. There should be clarity on who is responsible for what. The voivode as the government's representative in the region, handling matters related to security and communication, yes, that is needed. But not a voivode dealing with schools, not a voivode dealing with healthcare - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- The IPN had a role to fulfill, and it certainly did not fulfill it. Scientific research is certainly needed, because we should learn about our history, research it, and become acquainted with the documents held by the IPN - Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska said in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

- It was not consulted with me. [If it had been consulted with me] I would have definitely said that it is difficult, demanding, requires consultation, and that's how it will eventually happen with this announcement - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego," when asked if it was consulted that PiS would announce such a program at Saturday's convention.
08:26
- Politics always requires compromise. This compromise also lies with our partners from PiS - stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.
- Since it was announced at the convention, it means it's a joint project.

Grabiec:
Kaczyński told entrepreneurs to pay employees more without asking if they could afford it
- President Kaczyński proposed that entrepreneurs pay their employees more, without asking if they had the means to do so. We all want employees to earn more; that is naturally a goal for politicians. We are in favour of people earning more, but the state budget should participate in this. More funds should be generated through taxes so that they remain in employees' pockets. Work must pay off - said Jan Grabiec in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on "Sedno sprawy" on Radio Plus.

Grabiec:
We are four weeks before the elections, the party ruling Poland today has not presented any program at all
- We will discuss this in detail at subsequent conventions [regarding the costs of the Civic Coalition's program]. It is certainly over 30 billion zlotys. We have calculated this.

“We have an appetite to achieve a truly magnificent result in Warsaw. The people standing behind me guarantee that this result will be excellent. We are starting our campaign and you will be able to meet us everywhere, to talk with us. Warsaw is an extraordinary city. Warsaw and Mazovia are one connected organism. Really, Mr. Prime Minister Sasin, there is no need to divide Warsaw and Mazovia. We will not allow ourselves to be divided. You say this is necessary to secure EU funds. You can secure EU funds, because the statistical division has already been made. If you can't lobby for this money, we will gladly help you, because we want Warsaw and Mazovia to develop wonderfully. You can't convince Warsaw and Mazovia, so you want to split this well-functioning organism” - said Civic Coalition's candidate for Prime Minister, Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, at a briefing.
10:29
Kidawa-Błońska:
Our program states that people who work must be rewarded, but it cannot be that President Kaczyński automatically sets the minimum wage
"For us, work is very important, and in our program, we say that work should pay off for people, that people who work must be rewarded, that a person who works must feel important, that it is they who generate the prosperity of our society, our country. But it cannot be that Mr. President automatically sets the level of the minimum wage," said Civic Coalition's prime ministerial candidate, Deputy Speaker Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, at a briefing.

Rosati:
Proposal to Raise Minimum Wage to 4,000 PLN in 2023 is Unrealistic and Dangerous for the Polish Economy, Completely Detached from Economic Realities
„30 days before the end of the election campaign, the party governing Poland for the last 4 years has no election program. At the last congress – supposedly programmatic – President Kaczyński presented loose ideas for changes that would occur after the autumn elections, but it immediately turns out that the ministers of the PiS government are questioning these proposals, undermining them, and in particular, the Minister of Entrepreneurship is doing so in relation to proposals that harm entrepreneurs. The statement by the Minister of Justice, who says that PiS does not pay attention to entrepreneurs and does not care whether entrepreneurs will be able to pay salaries, is quite absurd. All of this shows how profoundly detached from reality the current authorities are, how they have lost touch with reality over these 4 years, how little they know about the problems that Poles are living with today” – said PO spokesperson Jan Grabiec at a press conference in the Sejm.
„The proposal to raise the minimum wage to 4,000 PLN in 2023 is unrealistic and dangerous for the Polish economy, it is completely detached from economic realities. It means an annual increase in the minimum wage in enterprises and the public sector, including local government, by over 15%. Labor productivity in Poland, during the good economic conditions of recent years, grew on average by 3-3.5%. Raising the lowest wages completely detached from labor productivity means a huge increase in costs for businesses, as well as for public sector entities” – added Dariusz Rosati.

– We are traveling here and observing, checking the situation in education in Radom. There are very valuable and interesting initiatives. We visited a nursery, the first nursery built in the Szydłowiec poviat under the Maluch program, launched during our time. A special place where children are excellently cared for. Talking to the ladies who run this nursery, we learned that it was also very important that we introduced a one-year maternity leave, so that children enter the nursery at the age of 12 months, because such children feel much better in the nursery, adapt better, and develop. But these are nurseries and kindergartens, whereas what is happening in primary and secondary schools is a real drama. And it cannot be that someone invents a reform and doesn't consider the costs that this will entail for the children, because after all, children are the most important. Teachers and local governments have bent over backward to solve this problem. And we have returned to a situation I remember from my childhood. I remember schools where we had to attend in shifts. As a first-grader, I went to school at, I remember it today, 5:10 PM. Many, many years have passed, we live in the 21st century, and it is only because PiS did not listen to the opposition, the voices of teachers, local government officials, and parents, that children have been subjected to such a fate. And this is no longer politics, because it is harming people. People are suffering, and we need to find a solution here as soon as possible. Parents cannot watch without emotion what fate has befallen their children. Tired teenagers at 6 PM are unable to learn as if they had started classes in the morning – stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a press conference in Radom.
– Chaos was introduced, and this chaos exists. It needs to be fixed as soon as possible. People of honor, if they make a mistake, they admit to it. I appeal to Chairman Kaczyński: if you have made this mistake, please fix it as soon as possible. It cannot be that entire age groups are condemned to very difficult learning conditions. Teachers to very difficult conditions for teaching our children and grandchildren. Fix this mistake, and if you cannot fix this mistake, then let us do it, because we have solutions on how to solve the problem of education, so that school is friendly, so that children feel they are the most important there, so that teachers have time to dedicate to their work. This chaos must be stopped immediately. If you do not know how to do it, we will do it very gladly, because there is no time to wait here anymore – added the KO candidate for Prime Minister.

- I spoke with the Minister [Emilewicz] and I don't know exactly what she meant, but I want to primarily present a certain perspective. Because today we think of 4000 PLN as something very high, but it's structured so that 3000 PLN will be reached by the end of next year, practically in 1.5 years, at the beginning of 2021, and 4000 PLN by the end of 2023. This is an evolution, an increase in minimum wages, which – I imagine – will also pull up productivity, work efficiency of individual employees, and will also be beneficial for employers - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Łowicz.
- We are raising the minimum wage to 2600 PLN from next year, and I am convinced that this growth trajectory, this growth path that we have proposed, will serve well to increase the efficiency and innovativeness of Polish enterprises, the quality of work, but also employee satisfaction - added the head of the Polish government.

PMM:
Poland Can Be Better. It's Good We're in the EU, But Politics Must Be for Polish Families, for Everyone Who Needs Support
- For these past twenty-odd years, since Poland became free, I have often heard that things cannot get any better, that we already have the best possible politics and economy. But I did not agree with that. I disagreed with it. I believe that Poland can be better, that it's good we are in the EU, but politics must be politics for Polish families, for everyone who needs support. That is why we have initiated our changes - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Łęczyca.

- Today, the whole world knows what for us was an obvious truth: that the war began here, 80 years ago, that Poles were exterminated primarily by Germany, but also by the Soviets, that Poles heroically fought for freedom and democracy on all fronts of World War II. The words of the German President in Wieluń and Warsaw will be important in 10 and 100 years, because it was precisely these words that acknowledged the historical truth. Who initiated the battle for historical truth? Let's be clear. The Law and Justice government - said Mateusz Morawiecki during an election meeting with the residents of Łęczyca.

'On the Other Side, We Have a Powerful Force of Media. Very Often Deceitful Media.'
- On the other side, we have a powerful force of media. Very often deceitful media. Media that are in the hands of people who often do not wish us well. That is why we need to talk, to show our effectiveness - said Mateusz Morawiecki during an election meeting with the residents of Łęczyca.

Tomorrow at 4:00 PM, a session of the parliamentary Committee for Justice and Human Rights is scheduled to take place, during which the motion to dismiss Zbigniew Ziobro from the position of Minister of Justice, filed by the Civic Platform-Civic Coalition (PO-KO) club, will be considered.
It is also possible – the new schedule has not yet been released – that the opposition's motion will be considered by the Sejm (Polish Parliament) tomorrow evening as well. The largest opposition club submitted the motion at the end of August, which was made available today on the Sejm's website and referred for consideration to the aforementioned Committee for Justice.

A break in the Sejm's session until October 15th may be announced at its upcoming meeting, which begins tomorrow, according to information obtained by 300POLITYKA. In such a scenario, the Sejm session would be continued after the parliamentary elections. The Presidium is meeting today at 9:00 PM to discuss this matter.

Member of Parliament Agnieszka Pomaska, at a press conference in Gdańsk, posed a question to the Minister of Interior and Administration, Mariusz Kamiński, asking if he issued the order for armed boarding of the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior. "I have the impression that the border guard's intrusion onto the peacefully-oriented Greenpeace ship was a show of force under the leadership of the new minister, Minister Kamiński, who has taken over supervision of most services in Poland," Pomaska stated. The MP also recalled that the Civic Coalition's program includes phasing out coal for individual home and apartment heating by 2030, for system heating by 2035, and for energy production by 2040.
The Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior blocked the import of coal from Mozambique in Gdańsk yesterday. The peaceful protest aimed to draw the Polish government's attention to the urgent need for climate protection actions and the necessity of transitioning away from coal.

Sasin:
We Need to Debate Concrete Issues. It's Difficult to Debate with Kidawa-Błońska When She's Not a Real Prime Ministerial Candidate, and Civic Platform Has No Real Program
- We really need to debate concrete issues. It's difficult to debate with Ms. Kidawa-Błońska when she is not a real candidate for prime minister, not a real leader, and most importantly, Civic Platform, her party, Grzegorz Schetyna's party, has no real program - stated Jacek Sasin in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" on Polsat News.
19:57
Sasin:
I Will Definitely Not Decide for the Prime Minister. Personally, I See No Point in Such a Debate
- I will definitely not decide for Prime Minister Morawiecki. Personally, I see no point in such a debate [with Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska]. It's a waste of time - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" on Polsat News.
- We respect the opposition, opposition parties, and democratic procedures above all. It is the voters who will decide who wins these elections, but having experienced the last 4 years, how Civic Platform behaved, what arguments it used, we can predict what such a debate will look like. It will be invective, so-called fake news, false information. There will be no substantive discussion there - added the Deputy Prime Minister.
- We prefer to dedicate this time, and the Prime Minister certainly will as well, to conversations with Poles, because much more comes from this debate, from conversations with voters, with ordinary citizens of our country - emphasized Sasin.
20:02
Sasin:
No Veto from Gowin on Minimum Wage
- This program was consulted within the leadership, within the leadership of the United Right. If Prime Minister Gowin had any reservations about this program, it was certainly a good time to discuss them. Today we also had a discussion on this matter at the Council of Ministers, and I did not have the impression that this was a distancing. It was a good discussion about these proposals. We all agreed that they were very good and beneficial proposals for Poles. In no case [was there a veto from Jarosław Gowin regarding the minimum wage] - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

At the same time, the unofficial information we reported on 300POLITYCE is being confirmed. An adjournment will be announced tomorrow, and the continuation of the session will occur on October 15th and 16th, meaning after the elections. Therefore, tomorrow will be the last day of the Sejm session before the elections.

- To counter these ritual condemnations [regarding Piebiak], the government side is ritually recalling Judge Łączewski, who conspiratorially wanted to meet with a certain well-known journalist to coordinate anti-PiS actions with him - said Andrzej Zybertowicz in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

- "I dream of a Poland where no one will need to be reminded what good manners are." Kidawa-Błońska said this on Friday, and on Saturday, after the Law and Justice convention, during the convention, Grzegorz Schetyna wrote "Jarek, finish up," and Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz wrote "Kaczyński, you don't understand anything." It turns out that old dogs, Schetyna and Sienkiewicz, cannot be taught new tricks - said Andrzej Zybertowicz in an interview with Monika Olejnik on "Kropka nad i" TVN24.
