At 9:00 AM, the Sejm will resume its session, and at 1:00 PM, MPs will hear the report of the Amber Gold investigative committee, although Marshal Witek suggested that schedule changes might be possible due to today's funeral of Jan Szyszko. A voting block is scheduled between 5:30 PM and 7:15 PM.

Today, the funeral ceremonies for Professor Jan Szyszko, former Minister of Environment and long-serving MP, will take place. The event is expected to be attended by the highest-ranking state officials. The ceremony will begin at 11:00 AM with a Holy Mass at the Roman Catholic Parish of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Warsaw. Afterwards, a funeral procession to the Roman Catholic Cemetery is planned, where the burial ceremony will be held.

Also today, a meeting of the national board of Civic Platform (PO) and a club meeting are scheduled, as announced yesterday by Grzegorz Schetyna. - Tomorrow [Wednesday], we have a national board meeting, a club meeting. Everything lies ahead of us. A democratic party, a democratically elected leader. We will discuss everything. I am not shirking responsibility - stated the Platform leader in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska from "Fakty" TVN.

At 1:00 PM, a press conference of The Left (Lewica) will be held in front of the Sejm, with the participation of Adrian Zandberg, Anna-Maria Żukowska, and Magdalena Biejat. The topic: The Left's response regarding the bill being debated by the Sejm that proposes a 5-year prison sentence for conducting sex education.

- A resignation [by Marian Banaś] is possible. It cannot be ruled out [that something will happen], although we will see. I have heard such information [that his financial statements are increasingly displeasing to the special services], indeed, but we will see what the official announcements will be - stated Patryk Jaki in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- From the very beginning, I was skeptical, without prejudging, of course, but it seemed to me that it was time for serious decisions. Skeptical of President Banaś's behavior, which, in my opinion, also explained all of this insufficiently - stated Patryk Jaki in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- He should at least consider resignation - emphasized the PiS MEP, adding that this matter was insufficiently explained by him and did not convince him.

- I wouldn't call it that [that PiS's victory is Pyrrhic], but I certainly feel that more could have been done and that we are missing the most important process happening in Poland right now from our horizon. From the horizon of the broad right-wing, but in reality from the perspective of Poland's good, and I won't hide that this is what matters most to me and my circle. For me, the most important thing now is not what they are saying in the media, that Ziobro would be Deputy Prime Minister, I immediately deny that. We are not interested in that. What interests us is what the plan will be for the next 4 years of governing Poland, because it is indeed the case that on the one hand we had objective, excellent economic indicators, economic successes, social successes, successes also in foreign policy, visa abolition, the Wojciechowski committee, a very weak opposition, and yet the opposition parties are gaining the majority of votes, the left is entering the Sejm strengthened after 4 years when it wasn't there. We have to ask ourselves today: why did this happen? In my opinion, it happened because we let up in holding the Third Republic accountable in many areas, and a process is ongoing, which I call the hostile socialization of society - stated Patryk Jaki in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- This process of hostile socialization of society involves the transformation of society's values from liberal-conservative to left-wing, and in some cases, one could even say radical-left. The process of socializing society is ongoing, and I want to explain what it entails. It means that currently in Poland, the attitudes of the majority of society are shaped by media that are predominantly liberal-left, by left-wing universities, and this is a process that, if we don't find some remedy for it, in 4 years this process will unleash several million new young people, and the right-wing will not only be swept from the Sejm, I believe, but to even regain power, it will have to transform itself into a left-wing party, just as happened in Great Britain - the PiS MEP continued.

A process of transforming Polish society from white-red to rainbow is underway. And a sad concluding point to this process was the recent statement by Polish university rectors that criticism of LGBT ideology should be punished - stated Patryk Jaki in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" program.

- The most important problem for the right-wing today is to halt processes that will make certain things irreversible in 4 years. I believe a discussion is needed on the shape of the media market in Poland, because show me another country in Europe where 70% of the media belongs to foreign capital. Around 70%. Print media - stated Patryk Jaki in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" program.

- The dominance of this left-liberal direction in the media is enormous in Poland - added the PiS MEP.

- No, we do not want [the Deputy Prime Minister position for Zbigniew Ziobro]. We want a discussion about what Poland should look like in 4 years – stated Patryk Jaki in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- We want to discuss how to reform the state. Particularly concerning media and education, we want to discuss further reform of the justice system. We want to talk about what is happening, for example, at universities, because you will agree that if we both value freedom, then punishing criticism of LGBT ideology is, in my opinion, a huge scandal, what the university rectors have done. Just like firing people from work, like at IKEA, for criticizing LGBT. I do not want such a society - stated Patryk Jaki in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- PiS won the Senate elections but does not have a majority, but I am convinced that we must seek this majority. What happened yesterday around the Senate, especially around the opposition's candidate for Senate Speaker, all these groups, shows what the situation would be like if the opposition had won the elections. It would be one big coalition of chaos. The media are scrambling over who should be Speaker. This shows what the situation would be like if this coalition of chaos ruled Poland. We won the Sejm elections and I am receiving many messages from voters via various communicators, voters are asking if PiS will have problems governing without that one vote in the Senate. It won't be easy, but it's not a problem to govern without a majority in the Senate, but on many issues, we are counting on a cross-party agreement - said Paweł Szefernaker on Jedziemy TVP Info.

- Filip Libicki is certainly suitable to be the Marshal of the Senate, but the senatorial majority will decide on this. Our three votes – Michał Kamiński, Ryszard Bober, Jan Filip Libicki – are crucial, they are extremely important – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- First, consultations must be held within the opposition, because it is the opposition that has the majority, not PiS. PiS did not win these Senate elections. They took first place, yes, but they do not have the majority, what they had for the last 4 years. I wouldn't be so quick to throw around names of marshals from one side or the other today. The two largest parties in the Senate and the Sejm must realize that there are still other political blocs remaining – continued the PSL leader.

- We want our representation to be respected, just like the representation of the left. Is there anything wrong with that? No, because if someone gets used to being the leader of the opposition before the elections, then after the elections there is certainly no opposition leader anymore, there are three equal blocs that are on the opposition's side - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- All nationwide committees entered the Sejm. As a result of the mandate distribution, we have the same number of mandates as we did before, but support in the elections was much higher, with a 61% turnout. A very strong mandate to govern. 2.3 million more votes were cast for PiS, while some time ago it was said that there was a ceiling of 5 million votes. Now there are 8 million votes. We gained two and a half times more votes than the opposition. No party has ever had such support and received more votes after 4 years in power. PO received a million fewer votes in 2011, and we now have 2.3 million more votes – said Paweł Szefernaker in Jedziemy TVP Info.

- In the election campaign, we also had an advantage over the opposition because we resolved many matters internally. This cohesion greatly aided our victory. When the lists were being decided, even if I didn't like someone on them, or had doubts, I didn't comment on it in the studio, but discussed it internally. The opposition, on the other hand, discussed these matters in studios. There's no reason to communicate with colleagues via the media; these issues should be settled within our own circle. The nature of any government reshuffle also needs to be settled within our own, coalition circle. I am convinced that Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will present the adjustments that will occur after the elections – said Paweł Szefernaker.

"In the case of any Member of Parliament, it's problematic, and if we are also talking about the head of NIK (Supreme Audit Office), meaning a person who is supposed to audit all state institutions, then they must be completely beyond such accusations or situations. Therefore, if this investigation by institutions fully subordinate to PiS and staffed by PiS members reveals irregularities, then I think Marian Banaś's career is over" - said former president Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Joanna Komółka on Radio Zet.

"I think so [Kwieciński would be acceptable to all sides]. I know the man, he is a statesman, he is a competent man. Of course, with right-wing political sympathies, but that doesn't change my assessment that he is a statesman, with experience in various governments. I call such people statesmen; every country needs them" - said former President Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Joanna Komolka on Radio Zet.

"There is no doubt that PiS will make efforts to gain someone over, but because senators are elected from single-member constituencies, and because the polarization in Poland is very deep, I cannot imagine any senator, including the independent ones, deciding to take such a step, which is clearly political corruption – something for something – they would clearly lose their reputation on the very first day of this new Senate's operation. Their reputation would be ruined for the entire four years in their constituency, in Poland, in various circles, in the media. I don't think anyone would want to take such a risk, even if the price in this corruption were the position of Sejm Marshal" - said former President Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Joanna Komolka on Radio Zet.

- We went into the elections with Mateusz Morawiecki as the candidate for prime minister. I would add that, in my opinion, PiS won the elections largely thanks to the implementation of Jarosław Kaczyński's 'Five.' The party leader proposed it at the end of February, and it was implemented by October. This programmatic concept was presented by Jarosław Kaczyński, and it was efficiently implemented by Prime Minister Morawiecki's government. This shows how efficiently we operated, and it is the best commentary on how a government should look moving forward - said Paweł Szefernaker on Jedziemy TVP Info.

I think such a decision has already been made [regarding the Prime Minister]. After all, we went to the elections with a candidate for Prime Minister. This was also clearly stated by the leader of our camp, PiS Chairman Jarosław Kaczyński. It seems to me that if the party also wins the elections and retains an independent majority, the matter is quite clear – stated Łukasz Schreiber in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus. - I don't know, you'll have to ask the MEP directly about that. I won't judge those words [by Patryk Jaki] at all. Because I don't see the need. It seems to me [that it is certain that Mateusz Morawiecki will be the Prime Minister of the new government]. I am not among the leaders of our grouping. In my opinion, it seems certain. I have no reason to believe otherwise. If we went to the elections with Mateusz Morawiecki as Prime Minister candidate, and we won the elections, I don't really understand what the sense would be in appointing anyone else as Prime Minister, especially when he enjoys such support and backing from the leader of our party – added the Minister in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

In connection with media reports claiming that the President of the Supreme Audit Office (NIK), Marian Banaś, has resigned from his position, we inform that this information is untrue. The President of NIK is on unpaid leave, and the tasks of the Supreme Audit Office are being carried out in accordance with the adopted work plan - it was stated in a communiqué.

„It's a draw with a slight edge, but it's a draw. Anything can happen here. I'm surprised that my fellow senators from PO are putting themselves forward, they dream of it. I will see what the situation is. It will be a political decision, an internal one for us, whether to put forward our own candidate. The situation here is open” – said the Marshal of the Senate, Stanisław Karczewski, in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News.

“[The Senate session] cannot not take place. Esteemed Mr. Speaker [addressing Bogdan Borusewicz], there is no possibility that an interrupted session will not be resumed. It is simply impossible according to the regulations. One cannot resign. There is no such possibility. I wanted to ask the Speaker to familiarize himself with the regulations” - said the Marshal of the Senate, Stanisław Karczewski, in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News.

"It seems increasingly unlikely [the election of a new NIK president by the old Sejm term]. We have now announced a break. But this Sejm surprises, so we will know after its conclusion what else might happen. The Sejm's regulations can no longer be changed," said Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

“Certainly, we need to talk about the campaign, how it looked and how it proceeded. That will definitely happen. This is natural, and then we will see how the discussion unfolds. There are different expectations from different people. I am focusing on the parliamentary club” - said Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

“Who will be the head of PO is not something I will decide; we will decide in an election. Elections in the Civic Platform are universal. We will talk about this [the date of the election] because we are entering the presidential campaign and we need to focus on running the campaign, not on internal campaigning” - she added.

"I don't know [if I would vote for Grzegorz Schetyna as PO leader], I would think about it. For now, we don't have such choices. Grzegorz Schetyna accomplished one very difficult thing. He had a tough time when we were in opposition. He managed to create the European Coalition. He was able to mobilize circles to join in a common campaign, and we succeeded in getting 51 seats [in the Senate]. Many things could have been done better, some worse. It's not as if the main problem we have is Grzegorz Schetyna. We have more of these problems" - stated Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

"No, I haven't considered [running for PO leader]. I don't rule it out, but I haven't considered it" - she added.

- It has fallen upon me to bid farewell today to a man who departed prematurely, and with whom I and my circle have walked together for 30 years. Professor Szyszko was an outstanding scholar, a man who achieved extraordinary, internationally significant accomplishments in his field. He was a man deeply connected to nature, especially the forest, which he truly loved. At the same time, he was someone with incredibly firm, decisive views. This applied both to public matters, his involvement in activities that for many years were extremely difficult, brought no profits, and on the contrary, one had to pay for them, as well as concerning matters of science, scientific convictions, and the immense knowledge he utilized, but which he also defended, as it was often the subject of controversy and attack. He was incredibly resolute and unambiguous in this regard. One could say he was as hard as steel. But he was also hard as steel when it came to another sphere of his convictions, his commitment. This was the sphere related to faith. He defended the principles of this faith, everything connected with the teachings of the Church, just as tenaciously as he defended all those other values or truths I have mentioned before – said Jarosław Kaczyński during the farewell to the late Jan Szyszko.

- He was an extraordinary, talented man. He departed prematurely, very prematurely, suddenly. And he departed, one might say, in battle. For until the last moment of his life, he fought for this great cause of rebuilding Poland to be continued. Perhaps the burden of this struggle, both the ordinary, even physical one, and the other burden, related to the constant attacks on him, were the cause, or one of the causes, of this premature, tragic death – the PiS leader continued.

- As MPs, we already have information that there will be an additional Sejm session, precisely to elect a new head of NIK - stated Izabela Leszczyna in a conversation with journalists. The Civic Platform MP added that Jarosław Kaczyński will force Marian Banaś to resign.

"We are outraged by this idea. We are resolutely opposed. The bill being processed in the Sejm endangers the safety of all children in Poland. This bill is an example of a way of thinking that is completely alien to us, a way of thinking according to which ignorance is better than knowledge. We have certain suspicions as to whose dictation this bill was written" - said Adrian Zandberg from Razem at a press conference in front of the Sejm.

- Without a doubt, there is this kind of expectation for a verification of leadership. I think that the chairman [Grzegorz Schetyna] should definitely seriously consider changing his inner circle if he wants to continue leading the party. The chairman's inner circle - said Rafał Grupiński in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska from Fakty TVN.

- I don't have the impression [that his leadership is being challenged by some colleagues from Civic Platform, especially the younger ones], I don't have such signals. We are talking about it. As I said and will repeat. The elections for the head of Civic Platform are in January or February. All members will decide. If someone today wants to accelerate them, to disrupt them during talks, the formation and arrangement of this Senate majority, then they have bad intentions and there will absolutely be no agreement here to yield to external blackmail – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska from TVN's "Fakty". 

"The Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA) has concluded its audit of Marian Banaś's asset declarations, which commenced on April 16th. The proceedings covered asset declarations submitted between 2015 and 2019. Currently, post-audit activities, as defined by Article 45 of the Act on the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, are underway, which include, among other things, the possibility for the audited party to submit objections to the audit report. Mr. Marian Banaś now has 7 days to submit his comments on the CBA's objections that were not clarified during the asset declaration audit. Until the conclusion of these activities, the CBA will not disclose the results of the proceedings," reads a statement from the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau.

- Of course, I congratulate the winners, but I place greater hope in those who lost the elections to the Sejm, even though they achieved truly very good results, and most importantly, thanks to united efforts, they achieved a great result in the Senate elections. In short, they won the Senate elections. I am referring to the opposition parties, and here is my sincere request, my heartfelt appeal, not to waste this spirit of unity in conflicts or a lack of respect or regard in relations between political parties. Above all, we cannot waste the human hopes associated with this outcome, and well over half of Poles unequivocally have their hopes tied to what was achieved in the Senate. And that is why every single mandate must be respected there, just as every single voter's vote is. And I would very much like the political parties represented in the Senate and the independent senators to sit down together as quickly as possible and find a solution that guarantees that this wish of the voters will also become a significant political reality. Similarly, cooperation in the Sejm, the opposition must recognize that all those Poles who voted for them want the opposition clubs to be faithful to certain principles, also to the most important ideas and values. I don't need to list them, but these are the most fundamental issues, and they should build a common language as quickly as possible. If what people demonstrated with such conviction on election day is wasted in conflicts, then no one will have reason to take satisfaction or reward from it - stated Donald Tusk in an interview with journalists in Brussels.

"Cooperation, peaceful coexistence in parliament" from Jarosław Kaczyński sounds like a stale joke at a failed stand-up show, but if we were to take his declaration seriously for even a second, one could reply, I would confidently reply: "Why in the Senate? Let's try to rebuild at least elementary trust anew, but not in the Senate, where you lost, man, but if you have good will, let's do it everywhere. And let's try to consider together what a real, honest reform of the judiciary should look like" - said the head of the European Council, Donald Tusk, in a conversation with journalists in Brussels.

- Given the current speculation about who will run in the presidential elections and when, this is an absolutely strategic matter. We have 4 years ahead of us where the PiS government will likely be in power. To stop, to prevent the PiS government from causing damage, we need the power of a presidential veto. This is truly the fundamental, strategic question. Will Poland waste these next 4 years, as we've had glimpses of in the last 4 years, or will Poles and political elites, through a wise choice of a presidential candidate, manage to persuade, to compel those in power to at least avoid mistakes, both internationally and, most importantly, domestically. Therefore, for me, the most important thing is, and I think everyone will agree with me on this, to choose a candidate in the presidential elections who will have the greatest chance of winning, not someone who just declares themselves, has a high opinion of themselves, and above all, a candidate who will be able to convince those who currently vote for our opponents, who will be able to convince Poles who, for various reasons, vote for PiS or hesitate between one option and another. This should undoubtedly be a joint effort of all those who in the recent elections voted, among others, in the Senate for today's Senate majority. This is not about choosing a candidate quickly, but wisely. So that they genuinely have maximum chances. This can be consulted by talking with people, experts, between political parties, by conducting research. There are dozens of methods to optimize this choice - stated Donald Tusk in a conversation with journalists in Brussels.

"I received such a proposal [to be President of the EPP] and many leaders of the parties that make up the EPP urged me to run for President of the EPP. It is not out of the question that this will happen. The decision will be made in November, but engagement in the EPP, unlike being the President of the European Council, does not preclude engagement in domestic affairs. I'm not talking about presidential elections here, but generally about my return to active public life in Poland. Potential leadership in the EPP will not stop me from fully engaging in Poland's affairs" - said the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, in an interview with journalists in Brussels.

- This procedure for selecting a [presidential] candidate should precisely involve objectively maximizing the chances of victory, not based on my own high or very high opinion of myself. Am I a person who can convince the undecided? I don't know. I wouldn't be so very convinced about that and I would absolutely accept, without any regret, another interpretation, that perhaps there are candidates who evoke less enthusiasm but will ultimately win over more people on the side that will, in effect, decide who wins these elections. So, it would be best at this moment to focus on a very thorough evaluation, on very wise and selfless deliberation, not to think about oneself and one's ambitions, and to make a sensible choice that would give the greatest chance, because there will be no guarantees, of victory. There are definitely several names that hold very serious hope here – stated Donald Tusk in a conversation with journalists in Brussels.

- It succeeded because there were three blocs. We mobilized more voters to the Sejm, who then also went and voted for the Senate. If there had been less mobilization of our voters, of the voters of the Left, there would have been fewer senators – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Dorota Gawryluk on the program “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

There is a majority elected by the citizens. PiS received a mandate for further governance. We respect the election results and congratulate the winners. They have the right to prove themselves. The fact that it is now more difficult for them, Jarosław Kaczyński has a problem. Zbigniew Ziobro, Jarosław Gowin, each will now have a much stronger position. I am not here to be a safety valve for Jarosław Kaczyński. We received a starting position, not a final one. My goal is to build a party, a formation, or a social movement that will achieve 15% in future elections and will decide about Poland – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program „Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- I believe that anyone in the opposition usurping the right to single-handedly nominate a candidate now is a mistake - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Dorota Gawryluk on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' on Polsat News.

- So, is Bogdan Borusewicz an usurpation? - the journalist inquired further.

- I don't know. I hope nobody nominated him, because it would be a disjustice to him - replied the leader of PSL.

- I wish the president today had much more courage than he does now. I wish the president could tell even our allies, I'm talking about the United States now, directly about the issue of the Kurds, because what is happening today to the Kurdish nation is terrible - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- We are still dealing with a media imbalance, we must state this very clearly. We have built a certain media pluralism, which did not exist at all in previous years, before our government. Information was, as it were, completely one-directional, one-format. Currently, we indeed have public television, where I have the pleasure of conducting this conversation with you today, but a significant portion of commercial media continues to strongly support the opposition. We must guarantee even more media pluralism so that we can also reach the residents of large cities with our messages, with the true information about the policies we are pursuing - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

- It's puzzling that there's a significant group of Poles who, de facto, vote against their own interests. They do benefit from the Law and Justice government, their material situation is improving considerably, yet they've likely been convinced that matters other than material ones are in a worse condition - said Jacek Sasin in a conversation with Michał Adamczyk on the TVP Info program "Gość Wiadomości".

- If it turns out that the opposition in the Senate gains a majority, makes a decision to go down the path of totality, and totally rejects everything that comes from the Sejm, even if these are good projects for Poles, it won't stop us either. At most, those 30 days that the Senate has to comment on each bill will have to be factored into our legislative work schedule - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on the TVP Info program „Gość Wiadomości”. 

- I know that many people who have entered the Sejm, the Senate, are responsible individuals. They want to act for the good of Poland, for the good of Poles. I think such people are perhaps, probably in every one of the political groupings. I think we can try to cooperate – said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on the program “Gość Wiadomości” on TVP Info.

- I vouched for them before the election, I vouch for them after the election. Senators are playing a key role today. Senator Jan Filip Libicki, Michał Kamiński, and Ryszard Bober, who is still the current chairman of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Sejmik. Truly very decent people, they know which side of the force they stand on - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on Kropka nad I.

- If someone usurps the right to lead the opposition, if they don't want partnership within the opposition, then they are on the wrong path. Such attempts have already been made. I remember the addresses some opposition politicians delivered in the previous term. It ended badly for those individuals - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on Kropka nad I.

"We cannot allow the election of the NIK President to be carried out by this Sejm; it should only be considered at the next Sejm session. We must not allow the motion to appoint the NIK President to be considered after the election of new MPs." - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Kropka nad I. "Will you block the Sejm? What will you do?" - asked Monika Olejnik. "I do not rule out that sometimes solutions are needed that are controversial, but in this case may be effective, because time is running out and the President has – after the announcement of the final results, which happened very quickly – 30 days to convene the first Sejm session, and here time works in favour of the opposition." - said WKK.

This idea [primaries] could impose a certain political dynamic. Candidates who begin debates among themselves, showing their vision for Poland – this would be the opposition seizing the initiative, and I am ready for it – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Kropka nad I.
