07:31

Błaszczak:

President Trump Will Visit Poland As Soon As Possible

- It was stated that President Trump will visit Poland as soon as possible, whenever it is feasible. This is also important in light of our negotiations concluding with this declaration; this favorability from the White House was palpable - said Mariusz Błaszczak in a conversation with Krzysztof Świątek on "Sygnały dnia" on Polskie Radio Program 1.


07:34

Błaszczak on F-35 Costs: We Can Achieve the Same Price as the Belgians

- I believe we can achieve the same price as the Belgians - stated Mariusz Błaszczak in a conversation with Krzysztof Świątek on "Signals of the Day" on Polish Radio's Jedynka.


07:53

Gowin on the Banaś Case: I am surprised by this information. It naturally requires verification.

- I am surprised by this information. It naturally requires verification. I am all the more surprised because Marian Banaś is a man with a remarkable biography during the communist era, and after 1989 he has always been a state official, known for his very decisive actions. His recent achievements in the fight against the VAT mafia are undeniable - stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Interview".


08:03

Gowin:

If Security Services Had Raised Substantial Objections to Banas's Declarations, He Would Have Resigned

- If substantial objections had been raised by the security services regarding the credibility of Marian Banaś's [asset] declarations, I am convinced that even considering himself innocent and striving to clear his good name in court, he would have resigned - stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation."


08:04

Fogiel:

At this moment, nothing can be blamed on the head of NIK's conduct, as he seems to be doing everything to ensure the matter is clarified. There will be no witch hunt from our side.

- We are proceeding from the assumption that no one is guilty until their guilt is proven. For now, we have a situation where one television station broadcast a report that suggests some improper connections or improper actions by the head of NIK. Mr. Banaś denies this, announces a lawsuit, and at the same time is taking unpaid leave. A control procedure by the Central Anticorruption Bureau is underway. The situation may not be 100% clear. We are waiting for clarifications, for concrete facts. At this moment, nothing can be blamed on the head of NIK's conduct, as he seems to be doing everything to ensure the matter is clarified. There will be no witch hunt from our side - said Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Stanisław Janecki on Polskie Radio 24.


08:06

Gowin:

I Trust the Services. I Had That Trust Even When Bondaryk Led, for Example, the ABW, Because By Definition I Trust Democratic State Institutions

- I have trust in the services, regardless of whether Mariusz Kamiński is at the head of the services or whether people... I'm talking about my position. I had that trust even when General Bondaryk, for example, headed the ABW, because by definition I trust democratic state institutions – stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- Minister Suski has the right to his opinions, I have the right to mine – the Deputy Prime Minister added.


08:09

Fogiel on Jachira: Voices Are Also Rising That There's Too Much Talk About Her, That the Candidate Herself is Being 'Pumped Up'

- Voices are also rising that perhaps there's too much talk about her, that, using political slang, the candidate herself is being 'pumped up'. This is the question. To what extent can one remain silent, tolerate various things based on a cold, political calculation - said Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Stanisław Janecki on Polish Radio 24.


08:32

Müller:

We have no rule of law problems in Poland. The latest opinion of the ECJ Advocate General indicates this.

There are no treaty-based grounds [to link the EU budget to the rule of law]. These are actions of a political nature. We have no rule of law problems in Poland. The latest opinion of the ECJ Advocate General indicates this, but it is an attempt to create tools of a political nature. The assessment of whether someone is compliant with the rule of law or not would be left at the EU level to politicians who have their own interests” - said government spokesperson, Minister Piotr Müller, on Radio Jedynka.


08:39

Müller:

What Biedroń and other Polish politicians say in the European Parliament, attempting to weaken the Polish commissioner's candidacy, is surprising to me

What Robert Biedroń and some other Polish politicians in the European Parliament are saying, who are de facto trying to weaken the candidacy of the Polish commissioner in some way - is surprising to me,” said government spokesperson and minister Piotr Müller on Jedynka radio.


08:43

Emilewicz on the Banaś Case: Perhaps it would have been more skillful if he hadn't changed his deputies at this moment. I haven't spoken to the President; I don't know why he did it.
President Banaś probably did nothing unlawful regarding the selection or non-selection of presidents. Perhaps it would have been more skillful [if he had waited], especially since the thing he did, taking unpaid leave… [It would have been more skillful] if he hadn't changed his deputies at this moment. We realize the situation is quite difficult. I haven't spoken to the President; I don't know why he did it. In any case, we know his statement. For now, I understand we are waiting for the matter to be clarified, and here, as in no other case, it will not be a matter swept under the rug in any way - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in a conversation with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

09:02

Emilewicz on Abolishing the 30-Times ZUS Contribution Limit: "We, Premier Gowin and I, Will Certainly Hold Talks with a Major Coalition Partner"
  • Currently, as it stands. The Sejm will ultimately make the decision. We will adopt the budget act at the turn of September/October. I think we have time to discuss it further - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet. - Let us have the chance to discuss it further in the Sejm. Two days ago, the Prime Minister also said that the Sejm would decide on this - she continued. - The budget act is most often adopted at the turn of November and December or in December - she added.
  • We, Premier Gowin and I, will certainly hold talks with a major coalition partner, convincing them, presenting the arguments we have been presenting all along. Abolishing the 30-times limit in 15-20 years could be dangerous for ZUS, as paying due pension benefits may be difficult from such a high amount. Secondly, 380,000 taxpayers benefit from the 30-times limit today. 29% public sector, 71% private sector. The 29% from the public sector will certainly pay, and we will see that revenue impact on the budget, but I assume the 71% will look for other forms of taxation, self-employment, various others, and we will not see that assumed revenue impact. And the third point, we are consistently committed to attracting talent, to showing young engineers and IT specialists that it is worthwhile to stay in Poland today and not leave, and this is an important element - emphasized Emilewicz.
  • We realize today that those earning the most in Poland have the lowest labor burden compared to those earning the least. So the discussion about the 30-times limit has its roots here somewhere. I think we will convince the Sejm on this matter, that we find a solution - she concluded.

09:30

Gliński on the Banas Case: "The matter is closed - according to our standards." The President is taking leave until clarification. Explanatory procedures are ongoing.

It is difficult for me to say [whether the services acted professionally in the Banas case]. I am not dealing with it, I am not analyzing it. The matter is closed - according to our standards. The President is taking leave until clarification. Explanatory procedures are ongoing” - said Deputy Prime Minister Piotr Gliński in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News.


09:33

Gliński:

I don't know if Banaś is on first-name terms with anyone. He might have met someone somewhere. These are tabloid arguments. Kwiatkowski had prosecutorial charges

"I don't know if Mr. Marian Banaś is on first-name terms [with anyone]. He might have met someone somewhere. We cannot talk in this way. These are tabloid arguments. Krzysztof Kwiatkowski had prosecutorial charges" - said Deputy Prime Minister Piotr Gliński in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News.


09:45

Morawiecki to Zembala: Healthcare is a matter of Polish national interest, and you certainly have an ally in me in this way of thinking

- Healthcare is a matter of Polish national interest, and you certainly have an ally in me in this way of thinking. Professor, we have known each other for many years, and I know that we share a common perspective on healthcare - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a meeting with medical experts and the management of the Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases.


09:50

Morawiecki:

Joint Efforts Will Make Silesian and Polish Medicine Admired Globally

- Our joint efforts will certainly lead to Silesian and Polish medicine being admired worldwide and will serve Polish patients well - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a meeting with medical experts and the management of the Silesian Center for Heart Diseases.


09:53

Śpiewak:

The Start is Happening Under the SLD Banner. Czarzasty is the Biggest Winner of This Situation and Will Be the Beneficiary of These Elections

- In effect, the SLD has absorbed Wiosna and Razem. The Start is happening under the SLD banner. Also, the money and all resources will be controlled by the SLD. Therefore, Włodzimierz Czarzasty is the biggest winner of this situation and will be the beneficiary of these elections - stated Jan Śpiewak in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.


09:54

Śpiewak:

It's shocking that Poland can build the world's most expensive sewage treatment plant, ruin it, and then pretend no one is responsible. In a civilized democratic state, there would be resignations, audits.

- It is indeed shocking that in Poland, the world's most expensive sewage treatment plant can be built, ruined, and then it can be pretended that no one is responsible. No, that's not acceptable. In a civilized democratic state, there would be resignations, audits. I understand that Rafał Trzaskowski is not personally responsible for this, especially since it was Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz's investment. But that doesn't change the fact that the responsible individuals in this company should be dismissed, and a thorough debate should take place about what happened and what happened to that money. And that, I understand, is a task for the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA) – stated Jan Śpiewak in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

Civic Platform Files Complaint with Prosecutor's Office Regarding Banasi's Apartment Rental Prices. Witczak: Any Normal Pole Would Already Face 10 Audits, Tax Surcharges, and Criminal Tax Proceedings

"State authorities are silent, waiting for this to blow over. State authorities are not taking any action. We do not hear of the prosecutor's office taking action ex officio, or the Central Anticorruption Bureau expanding its investigation or accelerating its examination of Mr. Banaś's financial statements. We are forced to step in for the state authorities and today file a complaint with the prosecutor's office regarding the possibility of a crime related to the glaringly low rental price for three properties by the current President of the Supreme Audit Office. If a normal Pole had valued the rental of their properties so drastically low, they would have already faced 10 audits, tax surcharges, and finally, criminal tax proceedings. We hear of no such thing happening to Marian Banaś" - said Mariusz Witczak from Civic Platform at a press conference in the Sejm.


10:41

Grabiec:

We cannot allow someone who hasn't clarified their ties to the criminal world to decide on NIK's leadership

We cannot allow someone who hasn't clarified their ties to the criminal world, who hasn't explained what business they conducted with a gangster from Krakow, to decide on the leadership of NIK. If, according to PiS politicians, Mr. Banaś should be removed from public duties, if even PiS admits this, then this removal primarily concerns key personnel decisions such as dismissing the NIK vice-presidents and appointing a new vice-president” – stated PO spokesperson Jan Grabiec at a press conference in the Sejm.


11:18

Schetyna:

Since 2015, We've Stressed the Importance of Good Cooperation Between Government and Local Authorities, the Proactiveness of Local Officials, and the Need for Effective Coordination

At all our meetings since 2015, we have conveyed how important correlation and good cooperation are between the government administration and local authorities, how important the proactiveness of local officials, regional authorities, and individual cities is, how much good coordination is needed, and the need for European funds for infrastructure investments” – said PO (Civic Platform) leader Grzegorz Schetyna in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. 


11:23

Budka:

I decided to issue a challenge to the Prime Minister in the form of a video, a spot where I encourage the Premier not to fear a debate.

- Instead of a substantive debate about our voivodeship, instead of talks about how to solve the most important problems, we are dealing solely with PR stunts. The Prime Minister comes, waves to the people, and flees. He is afraid of an open conversation about Silesia because he is afraid to answer the questions that are posed daily by the residents of our voivodeship. We are showing that there is no special program for Silesia. No idea how the voivodeship is to develop in the future. What's more, we are dealing with things that are scandalous. Coal imports are growing on an unprecedented scale, while extraction in Silesian mines is declining. Waiting lists for doctors are growing, and healthcare funding is decreasing. Problems in education, just look at the schools where young people have to study until late in the evening. Raging inflation is most evident in rising energy prices. For the Silesian metropolitan cities alone, energy prices planned for next year are higher by about 60%. There are no answers to these questions from Prime Minister Morawiecki, which is why I, as someone competing with Mateusz Morawiecki, a candidate for MP in the Katowice district, decided to issue him a challenge in the form of a video, a spot where I encourage Prime Minister Morawiecki not to fear standing for a debate, answering difficult questions, [and to understand] that he is not from here and therefore will not be well received. We in Silesia are very hospitable, even if someone is from outside, they can count on us having a good, substantive discussion. Provided that he wants to face these most difficult questions - stated Borys Budka at a briefing in Katowice.

11:54

Neumann:

Tusk Would Be the Best Candidate in the Presidential Election
I hope, and have been saying this for several years, that Donald Tusk would be the best candidate in these elections. For now, he is still the President of the European Council. We never expected such declarations to be made sooner than after the parliamentary elections in Poland, stated Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Jacek Gądek on Gazeta.pl. Donald Tusk can also help us particularly in European relations. These five years of his activity in Europe today can be an incredible asset for Poland in restoring Poland's position in Europe, continued the head of the Civic Platform club.

11:56

Neumann on Jachira: I will ask and appeal for her to change her language a bit

- I will ask and appeal for Mrs. Klaudia to change her language a bit. I wouldn't hold Klaudia Jachira up today as some model of bad manners or behavior in politics, because over the last four years we have been saturated with bad behavior and insults from the government - stated Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Jacek Gądek on Gazeta.pl.

- We have to be different. We are running in these elections, and it would be good for Klaudia to know this, to restore normality in Poland. To be different from what we have today - added the PO politician.


12:02

Kidawa-Błońska:

This ZUS and the declarations now being made by Prime Minister Morawiecki are very dangerous for businesses
This ZUS [Social Insurance Institution] and these declarations that Prime Minister Morawiecki is now making are very dangerous for this type of business [creative industry], because here people most often work on contract for specific work, and arbitrarily setting what salaries should be, dismantles entire projects. Projects are now signed for several years – said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska during a press conference in Toruń.

12:05

Kidawa-Błońska:

I Demand of All Candidates on Our Lists What I Speak Of: Respect for Other People, Civilized Behavior

- I demand of all candidates on our lists what I speak of: respect for other people, civilized behavior, and avoiding actions that may shock public opinion. I am for us to have discussions, not to lead to tense or unpleasant conversations – said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska during a press conference in Toruń.


12:08

WKK:

We Expect an End to Electoral Committee Hate Speech. We Also Expect Schetyna's Decision to Withdraw Support for Jachira

- The wave of hate, first online, then in the Sejm, and now at meetings, is flooding Poland and destroying our national community, breaking down national unity. This is the greatest threat to state security and interpersonal relations. We are divided, and unfortunately, this has been fueled for many years by the two largest political groupings, behaving like pyromaniacs. These two largest groupings behave like pyromaniacs. They set fires, then shout that it's burning, but they have no intention of putting it out. What is needed here is genuine goodwill to end the Polish-Polish war, this hate speech that is pouring out from all sides. As the PSL Electoral Committee, and more broadly, as Koalicja Polska, we expect an end to hate speech by electoral committees – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a briefing in the Sejm.

- Ms. Jachira has become a symbol of this, unfortunately, once again causing this hate to pour out in unexpected quantities. It will not be normal, not only for the campaign, but for normal interpersonal relations, if we do not stop this wave of hate. Of course, the government television also contributes its bit to this, and here President Kaczyński also has influence to stop what is happening in the public sphere. Either we will talk to each other normally, debate, even sharply – it's not about the debate being young or shallow. It can be sharp, but it must be within the bounds of decency. I would like these last weeks of the campaign, performed by all electoral committees, to simply be normal and rational. It is impossible to build a strong society if that society is so divided. We also expect Grzegorz Schetyna's decision to withdraw support for Ms. Jachira, because this is harmful to public life as a whole – added the PSL leader.


12:10

Kidawa-Błońska:

Silesia Must Change. Those Working in Mining Must Find Jobs and New Roles in Generating New Energy

- The mines that are currently operating will be closed when their reserves are depleted, unless we create clean energy sooner. Perhaps this can be done more quickly. Beyond that, Silesia must change. People working in mining must find jobs and new roles for themselves precisely in the generation of new energy, new environmentally friendly energy sources - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska during a press conference in Toruń. 


13:28

Gowin:

No Reason Today to Discuss Banaś's Resignation

“Mr. Chairman Marian Banaś has a multi-decade career of service to the state. The doubts that have recently arisen must be clarified. Appropriate state institutions are conducting these clarifying actions. There is no reason today to discuss the resignation of Mr. Chairman Banaś,” stated Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin at a press conference in the Sejm.


13:29

Gowin on Banaś: No Charges or Evidence of Law Violations

The predecessor of President Banaś faces prosecutorial charges. Despite this, I never called for President Kwiatkowski's resignation, because I believed he was a person deserving of being able to clear his good name. I can repeat the same about President Banaś. To date, there are neither any charges nor any evidence that he has violated the law” – said Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin at a press conference in the Sejm.


16:03

Lubnauer:

We Will Definitely Turn Off the Tap for Rydzyk

- I think that for the sea of hate and animosity that has flowed from the pulpits in recent weeks, it won't be politicians holding their bishops accountable, but those faithful men and women who were deeply outraged by it. It won't be us who decide, but those who attend those services, what consequences will be faced for inciting hatred against fellow humans, contrary to Christian love - said Barbara Nowacka during a panel titled 'Women on Politics Three Weeks Before the Election' at EFNI in Sopot.

- And we will definitely turn off the tap for Rydzyk - added Katarzyna Lubnauer.

Kantar for TVN: PiS grows by 1 point to 40%, KO loses 2 points, Konfederacja above the threshold

Here are the results of the Kantar poll commissioned by TVN:

PiS - 40% (+1)

KO - 28% (-2)

Lewica - 10% (-1)

Konfederacja - 7% (+1)

PSL-Kukiz'15 - 5% (-1)

3% refused to answer (-1), and 7% chose the option "don't know/difficult to say" (+4).

The telephone poll was conducted on September 25-26 on a nationwide representative sample of Poles aged 18 and over. The sample size was 1005 people. The possible margin of error is 3 percentage points.


17:26

Kaczyński:

We Delivered More Than We Promised, Our Word Matters

- Indeed, credibility is the most important thing in politics. Absolutely fundamental. Without credibility, there is no democracy. Because if a vote is to mean anything, such a situation only occurs when electoral promises are kept. If they are not kept, if various things are said during an election campaign that are not subsequently done, then that vote is essentially a fiction, merely the fulfillment of a full procedure that truly has no meaning. Well, what we have – I believe – changed in Polish public life is that this vote has had meaning. Please look behind me, at this board. We have fulfilled not only what we announced during the [parliamentary] election campaign, but also what we announced during subsequent campaigns, local government, European, and also during the term of office. Simply put, we have done more than was announced. One could say that our word means something. Thus, the act of supporting PiS in 2015 had real significance. It was an act of democracy, of true democracy - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS convention in Płock.


17:28

Kidawa-Błońska on Public Media: They Must Be Completely Changed, Function Differently, Because We Must Reclaim Them for Citizens

- Every citizen has the right to information, to honest information, not to sick commentary. Public media are meant to be a guarantor that the information contained within is true, that something really happened in one form or another. We do not have such media. We have media where there is only commentary, and what's more, false commentary. The media must be completely changed, they must function differently, because we must reclaim them for citizens - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska during the panel titled 'Women on Politics Three Weeks Before the Elections' at EFNI in Sopot.


17:35

Kaczyński:

Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz Participated in Rallies Against Czajka Construction

- We know that Ms. Gronkiewicz-Waltz participated in rallies against the construction of Czajka. When she was a candidate for the mayor of Warsaw. That is, she traveled to that part of Warsaw where this construction was met with opposition and there she said, absolutely not. that it would not be built. Then, when she became [Warsaw's] mayor, of course, this construction was carried out for enormous sums of money, PLN 4 billion. Many warned that this was not the best solution - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS convention in Płock.


17:45

Kaczyński:

We Aim to Create a Polish Version of the Welfare State, Where Poles Live No Worse Than Our Western Neighbors

- We want to do something that will be the beginning of a path towards a situation which – I believe – will be a desirable, appropriate situation for every Pole. Or perhaps for almost every Pole. We want to create a Polish version of the welfare state. A situation in which Poles will live no worse than our western neighbors and at the same time will be able to have an adequate level of comfort ensured in various areas of life. Because it's not just about what's in your pocket, although that is very important and certainly decisive for the coming years. It's also about various other areas of life, starting with transport and ending with culture – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS convention in Płock.


17:50

PJK:

There's a propaganda trying to sow uncertainty among retirees. Next year, there will be a 13th pension.

- I want to assure you once again, because there is a propaganda that tries to introduce uncertainty among retirees. Next year, there will be a 13th pension. I want to strongly emphasize this. It exists and it will continue to exist. But in the following year, and also permanently, there will be a 14th pension as well - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS convention in Płock.


17:57

Kaczyński:

We Simply Want to Defend the Normal Polish Family. That is Our Goal. And We Want to Protect Children from Demoralization and Significantly Premature Sexualization.

- Part of our tradition is also family tradition. And I'm speaking about this in a dual sense. Firstly, it's about the traditions of individual families; each has its own tradition, and the vast majority are good traditions. But also about the traditions of the simple, normal Polish family. One where there aren't two dads, two moms. But it's normal. Of course, sometimes it happens that there are children and only a mother, or much less often, only a father. But we simply want to defend this normal Polish family. That is our goal. And we want to protect children. Children from demoralization, from significantly premature sexualization. From all that is proposed to us by those who simply want to destroy the present society, the society that created the foundations of Polish civilization, but also European and all of Euro-American civilization. They even say it directly in France, for example. We are not here by accident. We are here to destroy you. We cannot allow ourselves to be destroyed, to destroy the Polish family - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS convention in Płock.

Ziobro:

Is There Something Wrong If a Judge-Deputy Minister of Justice Suggests to the Head of the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS) Employing a Judge in an Administrative Position? I See Nothing Wrong With It
"Is there something wrong if a judge, who is also a deputy minister of justice, suggests or proposes for consideration to the head of the KRS the employment of some judge in an administrative position, in order to guarantee better cooperation within the Ministry of Justice? I see nothing wrong with that. The KRS cooperates [with the Ministry of Justice], this is that cooperation. It is not as if there is a Great Wall of China between the Ministry of Justice and the KRS" - said Minister Zbigniew Ziobro on Polish Radio 24, referring to RMF FM's information regarding the employment of Tomasz Szmydt.

Ziobro:

Revealed Materials from Hater Group Include No One from the Political Circle or My Close Associates in the Ministry of Justice

Please note that in these revealed materials [from the hater group], there is no one from the political circle, people I have worked with for years, who are close to me in the Ministry of Justice. Minister Jaki is not there, nor Warchoł, Romanowski, Woś, Wójcik, and many others. There are no people employed in the political cabinet, no people employed in the press office,” Minister Zbigniew Ziobro stated on Polish Radio 24.

Jarosław Kaczyński: Polls are good, but elections are won at the ballot box, not through polls

- We can win these elections, but remember, ladies and gentlemen, that elections are not won by polls. Polls are good, but elections are won not through polls, but at the ballot box. And they are won at the ballot box when many citizens go to the ballot box. The more citizens who go to the ballot box, the greater our chances are – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at the PiS convention in Płock.

Siemoniak:

Everything PiS Has Said for These Four Years Must Be Completely Rejected. They Couldn't Guard One of the Most Important Offices in the State
I believe this is a very serious matter [concerning the NIK president]. It shows that everything PiS has said for these four years must be completely rejected. They couldn't guard one of the most important offices in the state – said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

19:57

Siemoniak:

I believe one of this pair, Donald Tusk or Kidawa-Błońska, will be president

- I think it will be a very difficult choice here, because I consider both of them to be very good candidates who have a chance to win the election against President Andrzej Duda - said Tomasz Siemoniak in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' on Polsat News.

- I believe one of this pair, Donald Tusk or Kidawa-Błońska, will be president - Siemoniak added.

Woś:

Poles Will Hold Us Accountable for Our Four Years and Simultaneously PO and PSL for Their Eight Years

Poles will hold us accountable for what we have done over the past four years, and at the same time, they will hold Civic Platform and the Polish People's Party accountable for their eight years. After all, they remember who raised the retirement age – said Michał Woś in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.


20:03

Woś:

Let's Wait for the CBA's Explanations. For Now, the Biggest Storm is Around a Report by a Man Who Already Apologized to Mr. Szeremietiew in 2008

- Let's wait for the CBA's explanations, for this procedure to be completed, because I will remind you that for now, the biggest storm, the media storm, is around a report by a man who already apologized to Mr. Szeremietiew in 2008, who was then slandered in a similar vein - said Michał Woś in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.


20:07

Sawicki:

I would advise my KO colleagues to focus more on the programmatic aspects of their own proposals, rather than solely on total criticism.

- I would advise my colleagues from Platforma or Koalicja Obywatelska to raise the programmatic issues of their own proposals more, rather than solely focusing on this element of total criticism and discrediting everything - said Marek Sawicki in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.


20:11

Sawicki on PSL's Poll Results: We're Paying the Price for the European Coalition

- I think we are paying the price for the European Coalition. I was against building the European Coalition. That's why Koalicja Polska was formed - said Marek Sawicki in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.


20:12

Zandberg:

The Left is a Threat to PiS Because You Can't Scare People with the Left
- A role in these high ratings might be played by effective PiS blackmail, which sounded like: yes, we also steal and are dishonest, but if we are in power, at least there will be some pro-social policy and something for those living in smaller towns. And that's why the growing strength of the left is a threat to PiS, because you can't scare people with the left, claiming it's a return... – said Adrian Zandberg in Kropka nad I.

20:14

Sawicki:

Ministers in today's PiS government were ministers in the AWS government and sold off the Polish economy
Ministers who are in the PiS government today were ministers in the AWS government and sold off the Polish economy as it came, Marek Sawicki said in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

20:18

Sawicki on coalition with PiS: The question is how much PiS will change. I don't really believe it can change. Today, PiS's main opponent is the PSL, and the level of aggression directed at us is unnecessary.
I cannot imagine a coalition with PiS, which is waging war. However, the question is how much PiS will change. I don't really believe it can change. Today, the main opponent for Law and Justice is the Polish People's Party, and the level of aggression directed at us is completely unnecessary - said Marek Sawicki in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program „Wydarzenia i Opinie” (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

20:18

Zandberg:

I won't be told that the welfare state must be married to Jarosław Kaczyński. For the left, it's a welfare state without Jarosław Kaczyński
- I would like this Poland after 2019 to be a secure welfare state, where people have social security, but there is a guarantee of the rule of law, human rights, respect for minorities, and serious treatment of women's rights. I won't be told that the welfare state must be married to Jarosław Kaczyński. For the left, it's a welfare state without Jarosław Kaczyński - said Adrian Zandberg on Kropka nad I.

Sasin on the Opposition: They Have No Real, Positive Vision for Poland, No Offer for Poles, and All They Can Boast About in This Campaign is Building Hatred, Divisions, and War. This is Their Idea of Politics, Campaigning, and What Poland Should Be Like

- Our competitors from Civic Platform, the opposition, more broadly speaking, have no real, positive vision for Poland, no offer for Poles, and all they can boast about in this campaign is precisely building hatred, divisions, and war. This is their idea of politics, campaigning, and what Poland should be like. We do not accept this - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".


20:20

Zandberg:

The Left Will Do What PiS Didn't Dare. First Issue on the Table: The Failed 'Mieszkanie plus'. Failed because PiS Feared Developers
- The Left will do what PiS didn't dare. The first issue on the table: the failed 'Mieszkanie plus' program. It failed because PiS feared developers, because they didn't create a public entity to cooperate with local governments - said Adrian Zandberg in 'Kropka nad I'.

20:28

Zandberg:

The notion that every entrepreneur in Poland dreams of crushing employees is largely untrue. I was one of the few politicians in Poland who in 2015 said that introducing a minimum hourly wage would not lead to mass bankruptcies.
- The notion that every entrepreneur in Poland dreams of crushing employees is largely untrue. I was one of the few politicians in Poland who in 2015 said that introducing a minimum hourly wage would not lead to mass bankruptcies, and I met with highly respected economists who often, in their studies and even in this TVN studio, said there would be drama, an collapse of businesses. Years have passed, and in this matter, I have been proven right - Adrian Zandberg said on Kropka nad I.

20:35

Sasin:

Since 2005, We've Faced a Massive Hate Campaign Against PiS. These Civic Platform Circles Have Waged a Ruthless War on PiS Since 2005. Let's Remember How Fiercely the Late Lech Kaczyński Was Attacked.
- Unfortunately, this is something that our competitors, primarily from Civic Platform or the Civic Coalition, the party of Grzegorz Schetyna and Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, are fueling. This spiral of hatred. It's not as if it only concerns politicians and political life. This entire discussion also spills over to those who observe it, including those who participate emotionally. It's no wonder that then, in such an atmosphere that has been built in our country, physical attacks and physical threats to politicians and public figures can occur. Since 2005, we have been dealing with a massive hate campaign against PiS. These Civic Platform circles have been waging a ruthless war of hate and very sharp words against PiS since 2005. Let's recall today how fiercely the late Lech Kaczyński was attacked, what an object of precisely such a hate campaign he became - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

20:38

Sasin:

I have no doubt Jachira will not be removed or disciplined; she was put on the KO list precisely to behave this way. This is Schetyna and Kidawa-Błońska's deliberate work.
I have no doubt that there will be neither any removal of Klaudia Jachira from the list nor any disciplinary action. She was taken onto the Civic Coalition's list precisely to behave this way. This is absolutely the deliberate work of Schetyna and Kidawa-Błońska. These individuals have precisely this kind of idea for the campaign and for the next Sejm. Because they want to turn the next Sejm into a circus, a place where extraordinary things will happen – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

20:39

Zandberg:

"I Feel a Wave of Hope on the Streets. It's Truly Time to Overturn the System Ruling Poland, Because the Banaś Case Shows Someone Has Become Too Confident, Feels Unbeatable, and Believes They Can Do Anything."
"The President may be mistaken, because I feel it on the streets. I've just gotten off the left-wing bus, and I feel this wave of hope, and we feel it at left-wing gatherings. It's truly time to overturn the system that rules Poland, because the Banaś case shows that someone has become too confident, feels like they have no one to lose to, and believes they can do anything. Bad news for PiS is this: you will be held accountable for this," said Adrian Zandberg in Kropka nad I.

20:42

Sasin:

In Light of What We See Today, Palikot Appears as a Moderate Politician

- In light of what we see today, Janusz Palikot appears as a moderate politician. It's really going too far. It's the same policy all the time. Back then, Donald Tusk created Janusz Palikot and his small party to have people who would conduct this campaign of hatred directed either at President Lech Kaczyński or PiS. Today, Grzegorz Schetyna and Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska need Mrs. Jachira, Brejza and his haters in the Inowrocław city office, Soku z buraka [Beetroot Juice - a pejorative nickname for an online portal], which – as we hear from journalistic investigations – is funded by public money from the Warsaw city hall. It's truly a whole, enormous machine of hatred and propaganda, designed to attack political opponents, and what's worse, it's a machine financed by public money – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on TVP Info's “Gość Wiadomości”.


20:55

Sasin:

Unfortunately, in Poland, the media create a protective umbrella for opposition politicians

- What PO politicians have been doing in Brussels for the last 4 years is something that could not happen in any civilized country. It could not happen in any democratic country. In every normal, civilized, democratic state, society would reject such politicians. Unfortunately, in Poland, we have a situation in the media where a large part of the media protects, has created such a protective umbrella or a lampshade over opposition politicians, [which is why] this has not happened in Poland yet. No citizen who identifies with their country can accept and support politicians who not only report on their own country, in a manner inconsistent with the truth, because that is the crux of the matter, and now the opposition leader Grzegorz Schetyna, with Mrs. Kidawa-Błońska standing next to him, as we saw in "Wiadomości" [News], is demanding that Poland does not receive European funds. That Polish farmers do not receive direct payment funds, that billions of euros, which are due to us, do not reach Poland, because after all, we also create this budget, we also contribute money to this budget - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości" [Guest of the News].
