At 9:00 AM, the first Sejm session after the elections in the history of the Third Polish Republic will commence, albeit with the previous composition. This will be a resumption of the September session. The proceedings will begin with the swearing-in of Edyta Kubik, who will replace the late Kornel Morawiecki.
Subsequently, the Members of Parliament will address, among other matters, changes to the Penal Code, educational law, and road traffic law. At 2:00 PM, the first reading of a civic bill to amend the Penal Code will take place, concerning the "provision of legal protection for children and youth against sexual depravity and demoralization." The session will conclude tomorrow, while on Thursday, the Senators will commence their work.
At 10:00 AM, a Council of Ministers meeting will be held, but the agenda has not yet been published.

- Regarding 'colleagues,' it's a rather colloquial term. It will be a person who will sit in the same room as my humble self, and I would leave it at that. However, the sovereign has decided, we respect the voters' voice. It's not for us to judge how Poles decided, whom they elected - said Krzysztof Sobolewski in an interview with Dorota Kania on "Polskie Radio 24".

Lubnauer:
My Impression is That No One Can Be Satisfied with These Election Results, Perhaps Except for Konfederacja
- You cannot be satisfied when you lose the Sejm, especially since it is in the Sejm that the governing majority is decided - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - My impression is that no one can be satisfied with the results of these elections, perhaps with the exception of Konfederacja - she added.
07:57
Lubnauer:
Looking at the Senate, I have the impression there are tough politicians there who won't be easily corrupted or bought.
- Certainly, the Senate will ensure there is no longer what I call legislative diarrhea. There will be no situation where a law, the seventh law amending the Supreme Court, can be passed in a single day - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".
- Looking at the Senate, I have the impression that there are tough politicians there who will not be easily corrupted or bought - continued the leader of Nowoczesna.
08:05
Lubnauer:
I can answer for myself as leader of Nowoczesna. Any discussions, reckonings, or summaries regarding Schetyna's leadership must take place within Civic Platform.
- I can answer for myself as the leader of Nowoczesna. We brought in 8 people [to the Sejm]. This is of course less than I wanted and expected. But nevertheless, we will certainly discuss what's next, both at the board meeting and in other statutory bodies. However, in the case of Grzegorz Schetyna, any discussions, reckonings, or summaries related to his leadership must take place within Civic Platform - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".
08:11
Lubnauer:
Yes, I am not satisfied that we lost the election as the opposition. Our goal was not to get our parties into the Sejm, but to win the election.
- We are dealing with a situation where PiS has a very small majority in the Sejm. Therefore, if we look at the level from which we started a year and a half ago in the assessments of commentators and politicians, we can say that we have taken a significant step forward. Yes, I am not satisfied that we lost the election as the opposition, that PiS will govern, because our goal was not, as some politicians say, to get our parties into the Sejm, but our goal was to win this election - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

Fogiel:
Now it's time for analysis. We will draw conclusions for the future. It's too early to say if everything was flawless
- Of course, now will be the time for analysis, for analyzing our own mistakes, analyzing the flows of electorates, who gained support from where, etc. We will draw conclusions from this for the future, so it is still too early to definitively say whether everything was flawless or if there were perhaps some slips. But when it comes to communicating the issue of the minimum wage, here I have the impression that everything was under control – stated Radosław Fogiel in a conversation with Paweł Lisicki in "Salon polityczny Trójki".

Sasin:
"We Truly Couldn't Have Expected More Than What We Achieved. PiS Achieves Something Unprecedented in the Third Republic for the Second Time in a Row – an Absolute Majority"

"Realistically looking at it [the Senate], we could have expected this. We took it into account. Senate elections were extremely difficult for us. The opposition did not pretend in the Senate elections, as they did in the Sejm elections, to be different, divided into several blocs. It was one, monolithic bloc against us. In many constituencies, candidates ran who rather took votes from us than from the opposition. In some places, we were a bit unlucky" - said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin on Radio Jedynka.
08:51
Sasin:
The Senate Won't Stop Us from Implementing Our Program
"The Senate won't stop us from implementing our program. I want to reassure everyone here. What we presented as our idea for a second term will be realized 100%, including our commitments for the first hundred days," said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin on Jedynka radio.
08:52
Fogiel:
The Senate is part of the legislative process, but the main burden lies with the Sejm. Senators can propose amendments to laws, and that's what we would expect. However, I fear we will face destructive actions from the opposition.
- The Senate is, of course, an element of the legislative process, but the main burden lies with the Sejm. Senators can propose amendments to laws, and essentially that's what we would expect from them. However, I fear we will face rather destructive actions from the opposition and a slowing down of the legislative process. Although we still have a sliver of hope that this can be avoided, and that our opponents appealed so much throughout the campaign for agreement and for quieting down disputes, perhaps the Senate, in a situation where there is practically a balance there, will be a good experimental ground – stated Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Paweł Lisicki on "Salony polityczny Trójki" (Trójka's Political Salon).
- We will want to at least give our opponents that chance. We'll see what comes of it – added the Deputy Spokesperson of PiS.

Siemoniak:
PiS's Mandate to Govern Further is Limited, Subject to Caveats
„PiS's mandate to govern further is limited, subject to caveats. I draw attention to the fact that the opposition received several hundred thousand more votes than the PiS list” - said PO Vice-Chairman Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.
10:23
Siemoniak:
The Senate's Role Should Be to Restore Parliamentary Oversight of the Executive, Which Was Lacking in the Sejm for 4 Years
„The role of the Senate, beyond its legislative powers, should be to restore parliamentary oversight of the executive branch, which was absent in the Sejm for the past 4 years. The government disregarded the Sejm. Ministers disregarded Sejm committees. Senate committees can hold ministers and various institutions accountable, deliberate, and create a space for public debate” - stated Civic Platform (PO) Vice-Chairman Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.
10:25
“There are many excellent candidates for the Marshal of the Senate, but I point out that the Civic Coalition is not the only decisive group in this regard. There are several senators from SLD, PSL, and several independents. The decision must be made within this group. This person must be chosen for the situation. It must be someone who, with their dynamism and position, will guide the Senate in rebuilding Polish parliamentarism” – said the Vice-Chairman of PO, Tomasz Siemoniak, in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.
11:08
Budka:
In My Opinion, Borusewicz is the Most Likely Senate Marshal
- Bogdan Borusewicz is being spoken of as a symbol, a person who is capable of uniting. Capable of uniting history with what is new. A symbol of Solidarity. However, we will be talking. He is one of those individuals about whom no one would have any doubts that he would be able to lead the work of the Senate correctly once again - stated Borys Budka in an interview with Łukasz Kijak on Gazeta.pl's Morning Interview.
- In my opinion, the most likely Marshal [of the Senate] is Marshal Borusewicz - emphasized the PO politician.
11:33
- There are truly various clubs that will decide this, not just the Civic Platform club, so on their behalf, I wouldn't be so quick to throw out names. I have my own political formation and we will present our decision. I truly recommend restraint to everyone in the opposition regarding throwing out names and deciding without discussion. Anyone trying to decide for us, without discussion, may be greatly disappointed – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

Kidawa-Błońska:
Two days after the election, facing difficult tasks, we're still discussing Schetyna. Personal matters are important and evoke emotion, but as a political force, we have other duties.
“*The decision on who will be the chairman [of Civic Platform] will be made by the members during the elections. For now, we are trying to organize the functioning of the parliamentary club. There must be a first session, we need to talk amongst ourselves. We have gathered in Warsaw yesterday and today. Give us a chance to talk*” - said the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, in an interview with journalists.
“*We are two days after the election, facing difficult tasks, and we are constantly talking about Grzegorz Schetyna. Personal matters are very important and evoke the most emotion, but as a political force, a party, and candidates, we have other tasks that we must resolve*” - she added.
14:18
- The elections are in January. Today we must establish the structure of the parliamentary club, in the Sejm and the Senate, and cooperate with the opposition. This is the challenge today, and I am not afraid of accountability. Today we have a meeting with the regional leaders. We will discuss the election campaign, the results, and the work of the campaign staff. Tomorrow we have a meeting of the national board and a meeting of the club. Everything is ahead of us. A democratic party, a democratically elected leader. We will discuss everything. I am not evading responsibility - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska from TVN's "Fakty".

PO-KO:
Information Received About Banas' Alleged Resignation
- Given that information has been received about Mr. Banas' alleged resignation, we will immediately demand from Madam Marshal Witek confirmation or denial of this information. If this information proves to be true, then we expect a clear declaration that it will not be the parliament of this term that elects the head of NIK. If the information turns out to be untrue, then we expect, as before, the resignation of the head of NIK - stated Borys Budka at a briefing in the Sejm.
16:00
Witek:
No Resignation Letter from Mr. Marian Banaś Has Reached Me. I Don't Know Where This Came From. Someone Spread Fake News
„I have kept my word, and there is no change [in the Sejm's work schedule]. No letter of resignation from Mr. Marian Banaś has reached me. I don't know where this came from. A moment ago, I received an SMS from a journalist, and I would like to deny this. I know nothing about this matter. Someone spread such fake news because nothing of the sort has happened” - said Sejm Marshal Elżbieta Witek in the plenary hall.
16:28
Karczewski:
I Appeal to Borusewicz to Respect the Choice of Poles from 4 Years Ago. They Chose Us - Senators, not for 3/4 of the term but for the whole one, which we must complete. Referring to laws passed by the Sejm is our duty.

Regarding President Andrzej Duda, I want to say this briefly. I will certainly do everything on my part for him to win the election.
- When it comes to President Andrzej Duda, I want to say this briefly. On my part, I will of course do everything to ensure Andrzej Duda wins the election. This is my fourth campaign in a row, I'm fired up - said Mirosława Stachowiak-Różecka in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.
20:04
- It's a matter for negotiation [the Vice-Premier role for Zbigniew Ziobro] between PiS and Solidarna Polska. We won't oppose it, because if I, as the leader of one of the three parties, of the two smaller parties within the ruling camp, am a Vice-Premier, it wouldn't be at all surprising if Minister Ziobro also became a Vice-Premier – stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Anita Werner on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts after Facts).
