Dworczyk:
If PiS Wins the Election, Then a 13th Pension is Certain in 2020
- I can declare that if PiS wins the election, then a 13th pension will definitely be in place in 2020 - stated Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.
- Has the editor seen the 13th pension written into the 2019 budget? Because a larger part of the funds for pensions comes from the Pension and Disability Insurance Fund (FUS), and the funds are secured there. However, a portion of the funds is in the budget, and this money is allocated within individual ministries. Similar to this year, there will be no major problem in transferring these funds through internal reallocations between ministries - continued the Head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
Asked why there is no law regarding the 13th pension, the PiS politician replied: - We don't know who will be governing Poland after October 13th. - We don't want to put our potential political opponents, who might win, in a difficult position - he emphasized.
08:15
- The PSL, in what it says, may of course have its programmatic ideas [Tax-Free Pension], but it is completely unreliable. We proposed lowering the retirement age - we implemented it. The 13th Pension - we implemented that, and in 2021 there will be a 14th pension. Admittedly, not for everyone, but for many pensioners who have the lowest benefits - stated Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.
08:31
– The Governing Council was under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Gliński, but of course, the leaders of the United Right, including primarily Jarosław Kaczyński, authorized this text – stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet, when asked who wrote the PiS program.
– Jarosław Kaczyński is the leader of our camp, he is a very charismatic figure, and it is obvious that many of his thoughts are developed in this program, but the text was edited by a team led by Deputy Prime Minister Gliński – he added.
08:35
- Now, in the final stretch, MPs are getting nervous. Everyone has events in their constituencies. I received dozens of requests and excuses about not attending this or that part of the session, and unfortunately, also for votes, because they have extremely important events at home and must be there. Therefore, we decided there's no reason to push this through now during the campaign - said Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Paweł Lisicki on "Salon polityczny" on Radio Trójka.

Bielan:
We Had a Program We Ran On in the 2015 Elections; Naturally, We Wanted to Update It

- We want to change the Constitution. Jarosław Kaczyński announced this yesterday. Because all these changes concerning immunities, for politicians as well as judges and prosecutors, require a change to the Constitution. We don't have that majority - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.
When pointed out that changing the Constitution requires 307 MPs, the PiS MEP replied: - We would need to have 307 votes on our own, which will be very difficult to achieve, or find allies for changing the Constitution. We will persuade parties that make it into the future parliament to change this.

Bielan:
If we look at the last 4 years and compare freedom of speech and media to the situation under our predecessors, I think media freedom in Poland is flourishing
- An absurd accusation [that the creation of a journalistic self-government is about silencing or eliminating inconvenient journalists]. If we look at the last 4 years and compare freedom of speech and media to the situation under our predecessors, I think media freedom in Poland is flourishing – stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.
- If we compare how critical the media are of the government, which is their role, to the situation in 2007-2015, when the vast majority of media were rooting for the prime minister, for the rulers... We remember that cover 'Tusk, you must!'. It was so symbolic. We remember famous statements about our media. Generally, I think that currently we have much greater pluralism in the media and much greater freedom of speech in relation to the Platform's governments – he continued.

Bielan:
We Have Strong Private Media in Poland That Are Highly Critical of Us. Media Pluralism Is Certainly Greater Than Under Our Predecessors

Fogiel:
There Will Be No Civil Partnerships
"As PiS, we are drawing a clear line. There will be no implementation of what is journalistically referred to as the Rabiej plan – first civil partnerships, then so-called homosexual marriages, and finally child adoption. There will be no civil partnerships. We are not enemies of people living together, functioning together, regardless of the reasons or circumstances, having certain rights. The issues of inheritance or doctor's visits are raised, but all of this can be regulated within civil law, without the need to undermine the foundation," said PiS Deputy Spokesperson Radosław Fogiel on TVP1's 'Political Quarter Hour'.

- We appreciate that the Civic Platform has faced the truth and openly admitted to the systemic use of hate in its electoral campaign, but this also causes astonishment and indignation - stated Michał Dworczyk at a press conference.
12:29
- Today, this hashtag #SilniRazem, under which – it’s hard to describe it otherwise – a terrible sewer of hate is pouring out online, has become the campaign slogan of Civic Platform. This bus, which we've nicknamed the 'hate bus,' is traveling across Poland with this hashtag to sow hatred - stated Radosław Fogiel at a press conference.

PiS Program Will Be Financed by Budget Revenues. This is the PiS Electoral Program, Not an Excel Spreadsheet
„The source of financing [for the PiS program] will be budget revenues. This is the PiS electoral program, not an Excel spreadsheet. If the voters decide to entrust us with their confidence and we indeed manage to gain such support that we will be in power for 4 years, we will implement everything that is written in the program. There is no mention of raising taxes there. PiS has been the only party that has lowered taxes over the last 10 years” – said PiS Deputy Spokesperson Radosław Fogiel at a press conference.
13:36
“This is not a unilateral decision [by the Prosecutor General to revoke a deputy's immunity - as stipulated in the PiS program - editorial note]. It will be a decision made by the Supreme Court. These are proposals. They require not only statutory changes but also constitutional changes. A broader consensus needs to be found here. [The proposal] was put forward because we see no grounds for a parliamentarian who steals anything from a shop to be protected in any special way” - said Minister Michał Dworczyk at a press conference.
“There is no provision stating that we want to strip judges and parliamentarians of their immunities. No, there is no such provision. It only limits hiding behind immunity. A parliamentarian, while performing their duties at the parliamentary rostrum, will still be protected by immunity” - added PiS Deputy Spokesperson Radosław Fogiel.
13:36
Fogiel:
A journalistic self-governing body would be composed 100% of practicing journalists, governed autonomously.
"At the core of this proposal lies a rather unsurprising observation: journalists are a profession of public trust, wielding significant influence over shaping attitudes and societal decisions. Recognizing the importance of the journalistic profession, our program indeed includes a proposal to create something akin to a legal, corporate counsel, or bar association – a body composed 100% exclusively of individuals actively engaged in journalistic work, and governed autonomously by journalists themselves. If we were to implement such a solution, and this is a matter for broad consultation with the community, then it's not a question for us politicians," stated Radosław Fogiel, Deputy Spokesperson for the Law and Justice party (PiS), at a press conference.
14:14
Tomczyk:
Minister Brudziński, the provision regarding the journalism profession, essentially imposing a muzzle on free media, should be withdrawn from PiS's agenda as soon as possible.
- The profession of a journalist in Poland was indeed regulated. It was regulated in the Polish People's Republic. In many places around the world, the profession of a journalist is regulated. For example, in Belarus. I don't know if we want to adopt either of these models here in our country. I will only remind you that the constitution clearly states in Article 14 that the Republic of Poland ensures freedom of the press and other means of social communication. Today, PiS is de facto moving towards Belarus. Towards the East, towards standards that should never apply in Poland – said Cezary Tomczyk in the Sejm.
- This is a simple step towards Belarus, it is a simple step towards the kind of parody dictatorship that Kaczyński is offering us. Today we are appealing to Joachim Brudziński with such an appeal, or rather a call to action. Minister Brudziński, this provision concerning the journalism profession, which de facto means imposing a muzzle on free media, should be forgotten and withdrawn from PiS's agenda as soon as possible – added the MP.

Kidawa-Błońska:
I wanted to ask Law and Justice representatives not to put the hashtag 'Strong Together' on my billboard, because that hashtag is not on my billboard.
„I wanted to ask the representatives of Law and Justice not to put the hashtag 'Strong Together' on my billboard, which everyone knows, because that hashtag is not on my billboard. And my billboard was presented like that at a conference at Nowogrodzka. I would ask you not to change the content and appearance of my billboard” - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, the KO candidate for Prime Minister, at a press conference.
„To everyone who uses this hashtag, I ask you to be careful with your words. Let's be mindful of what we write and how we write it, let's not hurt anyone. Let's not deceive and let's tell the truth” - she added.

PMM:
We Will Stand Guard Over Normalcy. Our Political Competitors Want to Serve Us a Cultural Revolution, Some Ideological Whims. We Don't Want That.
- PiS will continue to stand guard over Polish families, the Polish economy, Polish capital, Polish values, and we will simply stand guard over normalcy. Our political competitors want to serve us a cultural revolution, some ideological whims, imported from the West. We don't want that. We want normalcy, and if there's a revolution, let it be a revolution of dignity – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Pajęczno.

PM:
I Spoke With Entrepreneurs About Minimum Wage Today. They Weren't Big Businessmen, Just Small, Micro, Medium. Not One Signaled the 2600, 3000 PLN Problem To Me
- Today I spoke with entrepreneurs about the minimum wage. They weren't big entrepreneurs, just small, micro, medium ones. Not one signaled to me, not a single one signaled to me this problem of 2600, 3000 PLN. Because one even told me that even in such districts they have to pay employees more, and that is our economic philosophy. We want people to earn more. European-ness in practice means higher salaries. This is PiS's program - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Pajęczno.

- Not enough [women have top spots on the Lewica lists]. Ladies and gentlemen, 48% of candidates on the Lewica lists are women. When it comes to the top positions, we likely have the largest number, but indeed, it's not enough. And this is SLD's fault – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program “Wydarzenia i opinie” (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

I think it's going well, and then I will, however, be a supporter of consolidation - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Wydarzenia i opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

Poles Haven't Truly Recognized Kidawa-Błońska's Impact; Schetyna Still Calls the Shots
- Judging by the polls conducted after Mrs. Kidawa-Błońska's support for the Civic Platform, the answer is no. The democratic side should cooperate with each other, but I think Poles haven't truly appreciated the real change that Mrs. Kidawa-Błońska is currently driving the party. Because I think we still see Grzegorz Schetyna, and he is the one making the decisions, certainly making them - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News's program 'Wydarzenia i opinie' (Events and Opinions).

– Observing the actions of Civic Platform, especially those of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and subsequent prime ministers of these liberal governments, one must even go back to the Liberal Democratic Congress and then how it transformed into Civic Platform, they are doing the same thing. It is an anti-worker, anti-union, and I'm not afraid to say, anti-social party – said Piotr Duda in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on the TVP Info program “Gość Wiadomości”.

- Employers should clearly understand that a better-paid employee will be a better employee. Productive. The point is that low wages are simply a barrier to development, and it's high time to catch up with that old 15. It's been almost 30 years since the transformation period, and it's high time for our employers to understand that they can compete, but not only with labor costs, salary costs, but with margins, innovations. That's what we should focus on - said Piotr Duda in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.
