- Failing to fulfill promises to the 'Frankowiczs' on such a scale, in my opinion, is merely a minor scratch on the credibility of Law and Justice. PiS is a credible party - said Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

Kasprzak:
I Am Not Withdrawing My Senate Candidacy
In the whirlwind of Polish politics, Pawel Kasprzak, a prominent figure, has made a definitive statement regarding his aspirations for the Senate. Amidst speculation and perhaps differing interpretations of his political trajectory, Kasprzak has unequivocally declared that he will not be stepping down from his bid to secure a seat in the Polish Senate. This stance, communicated through his official social media channels, underscores his commitment and determination to pursue his electoral goals. The statements, available via the provided Twitter links, offer a direct insight into his political resolve, indicating that he intends to see his campaign through to the very end, regardless of any prevailing narratives or pressures.
This declaration is significant as it signals a steadfast adherence to his political ambitions. In the often-dynamic and unpredictable landscape of Polish politics, such clear affirmations of intent can shape public perception and influence the discourse surrounding the upcoming elections. Kasprzak's resolve suggests a belief in his platform and his potential to represent his constituents effectively in the Senate. His commitment to continuing his candidacy is a key development in the ongoing political narrative, drawing attention to his campaign and his vision for the future of Poland.

„This is another example of how PO politicians treat people, with what contempt they treat ordinary people. A politician is a mission, it is service, and here we are dealing with people who are having a great time and are contemptuous instead of representing, instead of serving the people” - said Minister Mariusz Błaszczak on Radio Jedynka.

Błaszczak:
Trzaskowski Claims Local Government is Far from Ideology, Yet Introduces Demoralizing LGBT Programs for Children
„Everything that is happening in Warsaw is connected with the ecological disaster, with President Trzaskowski's lack of action against it, with his theories that local government is far from ideology. Meanwhile, quite the opposite – he is introducing demoralizing LGBT [programs] for children” – stated Minister Mariusz Błaszczak on Jedynka radio.

„[Politicians] have been postponing this issue [of healthcare] because it is indeed very difficult. If this problem isn't solved, we will never say we are in the 21st century, nor will we say that we live the same as citizens of other European countries. Everywhere [life expectancy] is increasing, while in our country it is falling” - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, Civic Coalition's candidate for Prime Minister and Deputy Marshal, in an interview with Jacek Żakowski on TOK FM Radio's Poranek.

Dworczyk:
Schetyna Lies, Morawiecki Repeatedly Raised Swiss Franc Loan Issues with KNF
- Grzegorz Schetyna, I say this with regret, is lying. For the umpteenth time, and it is a lie that has no basis in any facts. Therefore, if we are talking about facts, then they are as follows. Today, the Prime Minister, and at that time the bank president Mateusz Morawiecki, repeatedly pointed out the problem of Swiss franc loans during meetings with the KNF and advocated for limiting lending activities in francs. One quote from January 2009: supervision should prohibit the granting of loans in Swiss francs. This is a quote from Mateusz Morawiecki from one of the interviews given at that time. Because BZ WBK did not grant these loans for a very long time, its market share in mortgage loans dropped from over ten percent to two percent - stated Michał Dworczyk in a conversation with Beata Michniewicz in "Trójka's Political Salon".
- Only when, after 2008, due to market loss, BZ WBK began to grant these loans, were the criteria for their approval extremely conservative. Grzegorz Schetyna is cynically lying. And one last fact to present on this matter. Regarding the number of Swiss franc loans granted, BZ WBK was the second to last bank among the twenty largest banks in Poland that granted Swiss franc loans. The share in mortgage loans overall in BZ WBK was a few percent, while in other banks this share reached over forty percent - emphasized the Head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

Dworczyk:
Wojciechowski is an excellent candidate. I hope he will be approved, as there are no substantive reasons for him not to be.
09:02
- To my knowledge, no work is underway on changes in this area at this time. The budget quite precisely inscribes the 30-fold limit, and I am unaware of any work being conducted on this mechanism - stated Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka Political Salon," regarding whether there is a compromise idea concerning the ZUS contribution limit.
09:02
Spychalski:
We are terribly concerned by the Polish Banks Association's press conference. Banks could have said: It's worth considering whether to propose some systemic solution from our side.
- We are terribly concerned by what took place yesterday, namely the press conference of the Polish Banks Association. The ZBP said something to the effect that this is a single verdict in an individual case. Basically, it has no bearing here. If someone wants to resolve or change their agreement, they should go to court. I think it's a shame. I think that the banks, which are heavily burdened by Swiss franc loans, could have come forward and said: ok, at this point, it's worth considering whether to propose some systemic solution from our side, from the banks' side - said Błażej Spychalski in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on the Poranek Siódma9 program.

"I am a realist. I believe that in a few days in October, we will be talking with representatives of other opposition parties and will reach an agreement on how to create a good government and how to find a place for everyone. I have [candidates for ministers]. We will likely discuss with representatives of other opposition groups, and I cannot present them with a done deal regarding my vision. They also have their own vision, which is why we must [decide this] together" - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, Civic Coalition's prime ministerial candidate and Deputy Marshal, in an interview with Jacek Żakowski on Radio TOK FM's Poranek.
"I will present one more minister in this campaign from an area that interests me, but not today. And that will be all" - she added.

„This is not the most important thing in these elections. It certainly doesn't help us. I won't hide it, but we must be aware of the scale. We are talking about an absolute provocation, which TVP is engaging in a week before the elections” - said Sławomir Neumann from Civic Platform (PO) in an interview with Marek Kacprzak on the program „Tłit WP”.

„I wish for everyone that Wirtualna Polska and other private media are not pluralized like TVP, because then we will truly live in a country resembling Turkey, where 150 newspapers were shut down, not in democratic countries. This truly threatens us” - said Sławomir Neumann of Civic Platform (PO) in an interview with Marek Kacprzak on the program „Tłit WP”.
11:10
Kowal:
Without Private Media, There Will Be No Future Elections
- If after the elections it turns out that the main private media, I'm talking about large private media that have the capacity to reach not just the Twitter bubble, not just intellectuals, not just the intelligentsia in Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Wroclaw, etc., but can genuinely shape public opinion, for example, by reporting on the Banas affair – said Paweł Kowal in an interview with Grzegorz Sroczyński in the Morning Conversation on Gazeta.pl.
- If these media were not to exist, it means that there will also be no future elections, because the future elections will already be crippled. Because elections are not just an act of voting. Recently, I saw, forgive my expression, one journalist chuckling, 'There is no democracy, there is voting.' That's precisely the point, that voting alone does not constitute democracy. Russia also has voting. So, the point is that normal election campaigns should be possible, that citizens should be able to choose, meaning there should be diversity and pluralism – added the Civic Coalition candidate for the Sejm.
12:05
„These are tapes allegedly from local elections. They have been released at precisely this moment when we are entering parliamentary elections, when Poles are dealing with very important matters, they want to make a crucial choice and know what politicians are proposing regarding the judiciary, healthcare, and education, and this is what Poles want to discuss. I will not be dealing with tapes during the campaign. Voters will judge politicians at the ballot box. We don't have colleagues who are a burden to us” - said Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska from Civic Platform (PO) at a press conference.

- Today we were supposed to focus only on that during the conference, but life and the situation are dynamic, and a classic figure from the Civic Platform pops out of the box - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski at a PiS press conference.
- And hiding within him is Sławomir Neumann, the head of the Civic Platform club, and his rather interesting thoughts on politics, Poles, voters, and people who probably considered themselves allies of the Civic Platform - Radosław Fogiel continued, quoting the tape published today by TVP Info.
- Up until now, these types of formulations, principles of loyalty 'until death,' were rather characteristic of entrepreneurial family organizations typical of southern Italy, not politicians. I believe that in politics, we should primarily be guided by principles, honesty, and not by the idea that if you belong to my group, my family, then I will defend you, and if you leave, I will destroy you - Fogiel added.

- We are asking if this is the Civic Coalition's stance? What does Grzegorz Schetyna say to this? Is this also his opinion, does he also assess voters this way, the residents of Tczew, or when substituting Tczew with other towns, voters in provincial and municipal Poland? Is this also the opinion of Marshal Kidawa-Błońska? - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski at a PiS press conference.
- And the second question: who will be the new head of the KO club? Because I don't think Chairman Neumann will continue to be it? - Sobolewski continued to ask.
13:47
- Before the election, they're trying to reheat old dishes and show something that's a jumble of sentences taken out of context and indeed elements of unparliamentary language, for which Sławomir Neumann has today apologized to everyone. And it seems to me that he will be careful in the next parliament not only about what he says, but also how he uses punctuation marks - stated Grzegorz Schetyna, commenting on the recording published by TVP Info.

Krajewski:
CBA unequivocally stated in its communiqué that it does not possess a system for mass surveillance of Poles
„The Central Anti-Corruption Bureau has unequivocally stated in its communiqué that it does not possess a system for mass surveillance of Poles, and this was the accusation from a commercial television station which produced a report based largely on statements from either anonymous individuals or those politically engaged on the Civic Platform (PO) side” - said Jarosław Krajewski of Law and Justice (PiS) in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.
14:18
Krajewski:
I See Huge Changes Compared to How the Services Operated Under PO Governments. The Fundamental Principle Restored is the Ethos of Polish Service Officers
„For 4 years, I monitored the actions of special services as a member of the parliamentary committee on special services. I must say that I see huge changes compared to how the services operated during the PO governments. I think the fundamental principle that has been restored is the matter of the ethos of Polish special service officers” - said Jarosław Krajewski from PiS in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.
14:29
Kidawa-Błońska:
We will abolish the RTV license fee, ensuring no party influences public media content. We will restore the KRRiT's constitutional duties and abolish the RMN.
„The Civic Coalition has prepared solutions. We will abolish the license fee because this money should not go towards such programs and broadcasts. Once and for all, we will ensure that no politician, no political party has influence over the content and what happens in the programs. Programs should be independent and professionally managed. We will restore the KRRiT's constitutional duties, which were taken away from them, and we will abolish the RMN. Poles need objective, well-organized media where they can obtain truthful information” - said KO's candidate for prime minister, Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, at a press conference.
„I am very glad that the issue of the quality of public debate has become an important topic for the Civic Coalition. I appeal for us all to start with ourselves, to change our language, to use language full of culture, because everything can be said in a different way, without offending or violating dignity” - added MEP Magdalena Adamowicz.

„A formal completion of what was announced by President Trump during our last meeting in New York. Indeed, I hope that visa-free travel between Poland and the United States will soon become a reality. The procedure for admitting Poland to the Visa Waiver program has begun. This means that all formal requirements have been met by Poland. This has been approved by the American administration, and the procedures are now underway” – said President Andrzej Duda at a briefing.
„As we were told in the United States, these are now technical matters. It takes a while, but we can expect that in a relatively short period – I don’t want to specify how long – this will be implemented, and Poles will indeed be able to travel to the USA without visas” – he added.

Borys:
Poland's economy is fortunate the ruling doesn't mean a Swiss franc 'doomsday'. Courts will handle these cases for years
- Poland's economy is fortunate that this ruling doesn't mean a Swiss franc 'doomsday' because it's not automatic. However, courts will be deliberating these cases for years. There is a certain risk that it will impact credit growth and, to some extent, affect the economy – said Paweł Borys in an interview with Agnieszka Mosór on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń" program.

Buda:
Neumann's Conversation Reveals a Para-Mafia Institution. The Only Gain for Civic Platform Will Be Membership Numbers. Likely, All Individuals with Legal Troubles Will Immediately Join PO
- The sense of voting for Civic Platform will be immediately reviewed. This conversation [Neumann's] suggests a para-mafia institution that protects its own. I fear one thing. The only gain for Civic Platform will be membership numbers. Likely, all individuals with legal troubles will immediately join PO. Perhaps they will even sign up in penal institutions. They win elections there, now they will be members - said Waldemar Buda in a conversation with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.
20:07
- It's good that there is this declaration, but I don't think anyone doubts it's purely political. It's a certain deal that was made because we declared that we are buying F-35s. What kind of deal it will be, I'm not talking about visas but about military equipment, I'll show you when the equipment arrives. It's good that this has finally happened, that we will be able to travel to the USA without visas – Krzysztof Gawkowski in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.
