Zdrojewski:

The protest regarding the nomination of a candidate to replace the late Kornel Morawiecki should be considered favorably. It seems to me that the law was violated.

- One of them [the electoral protest filed by PO] certainly raises no doubts for me. It should be considered favorably. I am thinking of the nomination of a candidate to replace the late [Kornel] Morawiecki. It seems to me that the law was violated here, because the nomination of a candidate to replace a deceased person is very strictly defined by law, and unfortunately, the regulations were breached - stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" program.


07:50

Zdrojewski:

No One Called with a Transfer Offer. I Treat It as a Compliment

- No. No one called [with a transfer offer], and I treat it as a compliment – stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".

Zdrojewski on Marshal Selection: The Opposition Won the Senate Elections. It Would Be Foolish Not to Capitalize on This Victory

- If the opposition has gained a majority, and has indeed won the Senate elections, it would be a great folly on the part of the opposition itself not to capitalize on this victory. Moreover, this is what voters expect, and it must be respected – stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- At the moment, we are dealing solely with speculation from the opposition's side. I strongly deny it, there are no coalition agreements. We are waiting for them. I believe that the first serious candidate who appears should be the result of preliminary, perhaps coalition, agreements among the coalition partners – he continued.


07:58

Zdrojewski on the Senate: It should not be an upper house of destruction, but one that functions reliably and works on better law. Borusewicz is currently the natural candidate for Marshal.
I have my own thoughts on how this chamber [the Senate] should look in the event of an opposition victory. I believe it should not be an upper house of destruction, but one that functions reliably and works on better law, and that is crucial. The guarantee of such work will primarily be those individuals who possess both high political experience and high competences, including moral ones and discipline. There are several such candidates in the opposition. Currently, Bogdan Borusewicz is the natural candidate [for Marshal of the Senate], owing to his distinguished record, his competences, and also the fact that he was a well-regarded Marshal – stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

08:10

Zdrojewski:

A mere facelift won't suffice for Civic Platform. A serious personnel overhaul is needed, as well as rectifying programmatic, ideological, and fundamental value proposals that have become muddled.
"I believe Grzegorz Schetyna – I've said this before – knows what decision he should make. Grzegorz knows, I know. We are awaiting that decision," stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piasecka." "First and foremost, a facelift is not enough for Civic Platform. Everyone knows this very well. A serious personnel overhaul is necessary, but also rectifying everything that has become muddled recently, meaning programmatic proposals, ideological ones, and proposals on fundamental values. I've also spoken about this from time to time, but there isn't much time for it. In these programmatic principles, Civic Platform was all over the place, which undermined its credibility. A clear message to voters is also needed," he continued.

08:13

Zdrojewski:

The Civic Platform Should Be a Centrist Formation with Strong Wings

- [Answer why the Civic Platform is going from one defeat to another] Because it is inconsistent, it has not regained credibility. Its messages were very often incomprehensible even to its own electorate. It was unable to mobilize a broader electorate and too often engaged in purely ideological disputes, rather than those based on fundamental, principled values that are embedded in the Polish economy, Poland's national interest, and Polish law - stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".

- The Civic Platform should be a centrist formation with strong wings, both right-wing and left-wing, and one must remember that today it will be more difficult because the left has found its place in parliament - he added.


08:35

Fogiel:

The media's portrayal of bloody factional fights and incredible quarrels within the United Right doesn't reflect reality. This surrounding narrative might help some let loose their emotions.

The picture the media paints, of some bloody factional fights or incredible quarrels within the United Right, does not reflect reality,” said PiS Deputy Spokesperson Radosław Fogiel on Jedynka radio.

[Lipiński's words] are directed at all of us. Adam Lipiński is an experienced politician, Vice-Chairman of PiS, and he says it's always worth remembering. This media narrative might help some to let loose their emotions,” he added. 


08:36

Fogiel:

Will we be ready to present the full government composition and immediately seek a vote of confidence for the Prime Minister on November 12? I won't answer that yet, but I don't rule it out.
"The date [of the first Sejm session] has been set in such a way as not to raise constitutional doubts. The aim was to ensure there were no doubts about the start date of the works. Will we be ready to present the full government composition and immediately seek a vote of confidence for the Prime Minister? I won't answer that yet, but I don't rule it out" - said Radosław Fogiel, Deputy Spokesperson for PiS, on Radio Jedynka.

Sasin:

Discussions Underway on Government's Composition; Morawiecki to Remain Prime Minister is Certain

- Discussions are underway regarding the composition of this government. Today, one certainty can likely be stated – that Mateusz Morawiecki will remain the Prime Minister of this government. We announced this before the elections, and it remains current. However, as for the exact structure of the government, let alone the personnel, I simply cannot say. These are deliberations in which I am not participating; these are discussions between the leader of PiS, the largest party in our coalition, United Right, and our coalition partners, Minister Ziobro and Prime Minister Gowin, as well as the Prime Minister himself. These discussions are currently taking place among this quartet. There will be a moment when a broader group will have to refer to these arrangements. I am referring here to the statutory bodies of the party, the political committee. Then, more will likely be known – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Łukasz Konarski on Radio Zet.


09:29

Sasin:

I See Myself in a New Government. If I Didn't, I Wouldn't Be in This Government Either
I see myself in the new government, of course, if I didn't, I wouldn't be in this government either. After all, this will be a government of continuation. In such a [position], where I can best prove myself in the perception and conviction of the head of this government, that is, Mr. Prime Minister, and also my political boss, that is, Mr. Prime Minister Kaczyński - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Łukasz Konarski on Radio Zet.

Asked if he would, in colloquial terms, handle the State Treasury if necessary, the Deputy Prime Minister replied: - I have extensive experience in government work, and in various positions, both administrative, parliamentary, and local government, so I can truly imagine myself in various roles. However, my imagination is one thing, and the decisions and convictions of my superiors are another.

09:34

Sasin:

We all want the election results to truly reflect voters' preferences. If there are doubts, especially with a large number of invalid votes, a recount is worthwhile.

We have trust, I can personally say: I trust the state institutions. There are certain procedures, there is the Supreme Court, which resolves and analyzes election complaints and should do so. The fact that there are election complaints is nothing new. They have occurred after every election. They have never caused great emotions and should not cause them now either. This is something completely natural, every political force has the right to file such complaints, and everyone uses this right. And it's good, because we all want to have the conviction that the election results truly reflect the voters' preferences. If there are doubts, and in the case of such a large number of invalid votes, they can arise, it is worth recounting and taking a closer look – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Łukasz Konarski on Radio Zet.


09:49

Müller:

I Don't Rule Out a Small Deficit Next Year Due to Potential Withdrawal from the 30-Fold Rule

- The draft budget actually assumes equal revenues and expenditures, but I don't rule out the possibility that, due to, for example, a potential withdrawal from the 30-fold rule, some small deficit may appear next year. Just as in all previous years. Moreover, a small deficit is not a problem in itself, but we simply assumed such a balanced project because it also encourages all ministries and public institutions to seek savings - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- I think this is a probable scenario [a budget with a small deficit]. I think so [more probable], due to the potential withdrawal from the 30-fold rule. Perhaps this deficit may appear precisely for this reason - emphasized the government spokesperson.


09:50

Müller on the Implementation of the 'Five': I Hope No One Will Block This in the Senate

- The entire 'five' [package of proposals] will be adopted within the scope we announced. In the case of the 13th and 14th pensions, we are talking about a law that will introduce the 13th in 2020 and the 14th in 2021. I hope no one will block this in the Senate, especially since the Senate has 30 days to respond to laws, so I assume there will be no problem here, whereas the Sejm will certainly pass it within this timeframe. Of course, in the case of the bypass construction program and the program to equalize agricultural subsidies, this is a plan, a program. For bypasses, it will be a schedule of actions with a clear plan of where these bypasses will be built. In the case of agricultural policy, we are waiting for the new commissioner and then we will establish the plan with him - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.


09:54

Müller:

Discussions Ongoing Regarding Final Personal Division of Ministries

- Discussions are still underway regarding the final personal division of ministries. Deputy ministers will be the next step - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- I think over half is already 100% clear, and in most cases, final decisions are being made - added the government spokesperson.

Kozielewicz:

PiS's Electoral Complaint Lacks Merit. Arguments Presented Do Not Justify Claiming Electoral Law Violations Affected Senate District Results

We received over 70 complaints. This number is similar to the elections held 4 years ago. Roughly 100 electoral complaints are usually filed with the Supreme Court after every parliamentary election. The Supreme Court forwards the complaints filed with it to us, and we take a position on the submitted complaint. Regarding the PiS complaint, we opined today, reiterated our stance, and concluded that this complaint does not deserve to be considered. This is our position because the arguments raised within it do not justify the assumption that electoral law was violated to such an extent that it would have influenced the outcome in this Senate district” – said the Chairman of the National Electoral Commission (PKW), Judge Wiesław Kozielewicz, in an interview with Roch Kowalski in the Sejm.

According to the PKW, there is no such reason [for a recount of votes]” – he added.

Terlecki on Banaś's Resignation: No Such Suggestion. Perhaps the CBA's Reservations Are Unconvincing

"“I don't know [what's in the CBA's note regarding President Banaś]. I haven't read it. [President Banaś's explanations] were submitted to the CBA. The CBA will respond to his remarks, and then we will learn about the [reservations]. The question is, what kind of reservations are they? We don't know either. Perhaps they are unconvincing. Mariusz Kamiński did not present specific charges regarding these statements. They are being investigated,” said Deputy Speaker Ryszard Terlecki from PiS in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

“No, there was not,” he added, when asked if there was any suggestion during his meeting with Marian Banaś for the President of the Supreme Audit Office to resign.


12:54

Terlecki on PKW's Opinion on PiS Election Complaint: 'Then They Won't Recount'. 'If There Are No Grounds, There Will Be No Recount.'

Then they won't recount” - commented Deputy Marshal Ryszard Terlecki on the PKW's opinion regarding the PiS election complaint - “I don't know if we will appeal. Curiosity might have been a shorthand. We want to know if all procedures were carried out correctly. If there are no grounds [for a recount of votes], then there won't be one.”

Gowin:

These Attempts to Drive a Wedge into the United Right Camp are Ridiculous

Raś:

Tusk Should Run for President, and Schetyna Should Resign

- I believe that Donald Tusk should run [in the presidential elections] and I would gladly help him in this election. I think this is the best choice for Poland - stated Ireneusz Raś on Radio Wnet. - I deliberately believe that Grzegorz [Schetyna] should resign - added the PO politician.


14:21

Terlecki on New NIK Law: It's Still Being Considered

- It's still being considered - stated Ryszard Terlecki when asked in the Sejm about a potential new law concerning the Supreme Audit Office (NIK) that would lead to the dismissal of its president.


14:32

Pietrzak:

PKW Doesn't Reject Proposals; It Expresses Its Position. The Negatively Opinionated Complaint Concerns Senate District 75 (Katowice)

- The PKW doesn't reject any proposals. It has expressed its position. Yes [a negative position]. [It concerns district] 75 [Katowice] - stated the head of the National Election Commission (KBW), Magdalena Pietrzak, in an interview with Roch Kowalski. - Logic dictates that it will be similar [that other protests will be similar] - she added, emphasizing that the decision within the PKW was unanimous.


15:40

Kaczyński:

This Beautiful Victory Over the Forces of 'Poland Minus' Must Be Crowned by Success in Next Year's Presidential Election. Duda is the Natural Candidate.
Gaining an absolute majority in the Sejm allows us to govern independently, and thus to continue building 'Poland Plus'. But this beautiful victory over the forces of 'Poland Minus' must be crowned by success in next year's presidential election. The re-election of President Andrzej Duda, who is the natural candidate for the highest office in the state for Poles who desire a better life and adhere to traditional values, will be a guarantee of building a prosperous, just, solidary, and strong Republic. Time passes very quickly, which is why, starting today, I would like to appeal to you for another, greater mobilization than before, and for even more strenuous work. And I ask this of you, once again congratulating you on your success and thanking you for the beautiful fight, with all my heart - wrote PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński in a letter to the newly elected parliamentarians.

16:19

Zdanowska:

Budka as Head of the Civic Platform-KO Parliamentary Club Would Be an Excellent Choice

Hanna Zdanowska, the mayor of Łódź, has stated that Borys Budka would be an excellent choice to lead the Civic Platform-KO (Koalicja Obywatelska – Civic Coalition) parliamentary club. She expressed this opinion in a tweet posted on October 25, 2019.

The tweet, which can be found at https://twitter.com/hannazdanowska/status/1187360471667617792?s=12, reads:

"Borys Budka would be a great head of the Civic Platform-KO parliamentary club. This would be an excellent choice!"

This statement comes amidst discussions within the Civic Platform regarding the future leadership of the parliamentary club following recent political developments.

President Duda Asked About Running for President: "I Still Feel Like a Young Man. I Can't Imagine Myself in Retirement"

- The campaign is ahead of us, it hasn't even been Christmas yet, we still have the 101st anniversary of regaining independence to celebrate, there are still many different events before the campaign begins, especially before it officially starts. I still feel like a young man. I can't imagine myself in retirement - said President Andrzej Duda in a conversation with Father Grzegorz Moj in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.


19:20

Zdrojewski:

I keep saying Schetyna knows what decision to make, but it would be tactless to suggest to Grzegorz what decision he should make right now

Everything is untrue. Generally speaking, I keep saying that Schetyna knows what decision to make, that we don't have time and this decision should be made quickly, but in my opinion it would be tactless to suggest to Grzegorz at the present moment what decision he should make” - said the future senator Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.


19:22

President Duda: If a Law Eliminating the Eugenic Premise for Abortion Reaches My Desk, I Will Most Certainly Sign It

- I have always declared that if a law eliminating the eugenic premise for abortion reaches my desk, I will most certainly sign such a law. There is no doubt about that - stated President Andrzej Duda in an interview with Father Grzegorz Moj on "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.


19:23

Zdrojewski:

Grzegorz Himself Said Before EP Elections That He Wouldn't Get a Second Chance, That He Had to Win These Elections. He Lost These Elections. Political Responsibility for Defeats Always Rests with the Leadership, Especially the Chairman

I know he has a lot of trouble with a large electoral group that has repeatedly pointed out that the Platform's leadership is not our greatest asset. [I am speaking] about the Coalition's elections, about Platform voters. Grzegorz himself said before the EP elections that he wouldn't get a second chance, that he had to win these elections. He lost these elections. Political responsibility for defeats always rests with the leadership, especially the chairman” - said future senator Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.


19:25

Zdrojewski:

PSL Did Not Disappoint, SLD Returned to Parliament, Konfederacja Got In, PiS Marginally Improved Its Result. Only the Civic Platform Lost

The parliamentary elections could have ended in a draw. PSL did not disappoint, achieving a much better result than expected. SLD returned to parliament. Konfederacja got in. PiS marginally improved its result. Only the Civic Coalition, the Platform, lost” – said future senator Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) on Polsat News.


19:28

President Duda: The Constitution is Important, and I Always Strictly Adhere to its Provisions. Don't Worry, I'm a Lawyer.

- I always abide by the constitution. The constitution is important, and I always strictly adhere to its provisions. Father, please don't worry, I'm a lawyer; my actions are always well-considered. As for the opposition, well, there will always be those who make accusations - said President Andrzej Duda in an interview with Father Grzegorz Moj in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.


19:33

President Duda on Polish Diaspora Voting: We Need to Think About How to Prevent Such Long Queues and Increase Polling Stations

- We need to think about how to prevent such long queues. That is, how to simply have more points where votes can be cast. We need to draw some conclusions from this, and I hope the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do so - said President Andrzej Duda in a conversation with Father Grzegorz Moj in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.


19:36

President Duda on the Istanbul Convention: "Indeed, the convention contains completely unnecessary threads of an explicitly ideological nature"

- Indeed, the convention contains completely unnecessary threads of an explicitly ideological nature. When it comes to protection itself, protection against domestic violence, protection of women, please remember that we already had good legislation in this area - said President Andrzej Duda in an interview with Father Grzegorz Moj on "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.


19:39

President Duda: I Believe the Path I've Taken Was the Right One. I Listen Primarily to My Fellow Countrymen
I believe the path I've taken was the right one. I listen primarily to my fellow countrymen. These direct meetings, which I have been conducting and continuing for four years of my presidency so far, are an extremely important element for me - said President Andrzej Duda in a conversation with Father Grzegorz Moj in 'Unfinished Conversations' on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.

Jacek Bury: Decision Expected Next Week on Joining the Civic Coalition Club

- You can expect a decision next week regarding joining the Civic Coalition club - stated senator-elect Jacek Bury in an interview with 300POLITYKĄ, referring to media speculation – as reported today by major news services – about the senator's accession to the largest opposition party's club. 


20:09

Bosak:

From Our Perspective, Ms. Witek Doesn't Appear to Be an Independent Person Capable of Holding the Speaker's Position
- There were no discussions with our club; I asked all the club offices if they were interested in talking about the division of seats in the chamber, but no one was interested. From our perspective, Ms. Witek does not create the impression of an independent person who could serve as Speaker, possessing almost dictatorial power in the Sejm - Krzysztof Bosak stated on Kropka nad I.

20:14

Tomczyk:

We Are in an Exceptional Situation, as Politics Has Returned to Parliament
- Marshal Karczewski will not be the Marshal of the Senate, because the opposition has the majority there. As for Mr. Mateusz Morawiecki, he must obtain an absolute majority. Today we are in an exceptional situation, as politics has returned to parliament. On one hand, we have the Sejm with a majority mainly from PiS, but also the Senate where the opposition has the majority and it will be an arena of confrontation - said Cezary Tomczyk in 'Kropka nad I'.
