Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will participate in the Cohesion Friends Summit in Prague. At 9:00 AM, a welcome for the head of government by Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš is scheduled. At 9:05 AM, a meeting of the heads of government of the Visegrad Group countries will take place, followed by a media briefing with the Visegrad Group prime ministers at 9:50 AM. At 10:55 AM, a family photo is planned, at 11:00 AM - participation in the plenary session, and at 12:30 PM - participation in a working lunch for heads of delegations.

At 9:00 AM in Katowice, President Andrzej Duda will participate in the opening of the fifth WADA World Anti-Doping Conference 2019. At 10:00 AM in the Sejm, the New Left convention on pedestrian safety will be held, and at 12:00 PM - on PiS's nominations to the Constitutional Tribunal. Also today, the Supreme Court will consider further election protests.

Furthermore, today the Court of Justice of the European Union will issue a ruling on the rules for Polish judges' retirement. This concerns the act on the organization of ordinary courts from July 2017, according to which the retirement age for judges of ordinary courts, judges of the Supreme Court, and prosecutors was lowered to 60 years for women and 65 years for men. Although the provisions have already been amended, the European Commission decided to uphold the charges.

- The Law and Justice party nominated these candidates, they were not agreed upon with Porozumienie. Soon, the MPs of Porozumienie will meet, and we will talk with our colleagues from PiS about these nominations - said Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Piotr Goćka on Polskie Radio Jedynka's "Sygnały dnia" program.

- We didn't nominate any candidate [for the Constitutional Tribunal]. We don't support any of these three and we won't vote for any of them, because what's happening with the Constitutional Tribunal today is simply a mockery - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- There was a conversation with Donald Tusk primarily about his bid for the leadership of the European People's Party, because the PSL is part of the EPP. It's natural that [we talk about] such matters - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" program. - It's normal that we discuss what's happening in Poland and in Europe. There's nothing wrong with that, but please, Mr. Editor, allow me not to discuss every minute of that conversation, because it would be inelegant - the PSL leader continued.

- I didn't personally participate in that, though I knew a little earlier - Stanisław Karczewski said in an interview with Łukasz Konarski on the program "Gość Radia ZET".

- We need to ask Donald Tusk [if he will run for president]. I haven't asked him the definitive, 100% question. Chairman Tusk is expected to speak soon. I think he will talk about it. The decision probably hasn't been made yet. What Donald Tusk will do, only Donald Tusk truly knows. Today I wouldn't bet big money on him running, but we'll see - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I don't know [if it was a decision of the entire United Right]. Today I listened to Deputy Prime Minister Gowin, and he was unaware of these candidacies - Stanisław Karczewski stated in an interview with Łukasz Konarski on the program "Gość Radia ZET".

- So you didn't coordinate with your coalition partners? - the journalist pressed.

- This is our right. We have the right to nominate, so talks may now commence. What will happen, I don't know.

- Could it be that Porozumienie will not vote?

- I think they will vote.

- And why?

- Because these are very good candidacies.

During a conversation with Stanisław Karczewski, Łukasz Konarski asked further questions regarding PiS's candidates for the Constitutional Tribunal. After one of them, the current Marshal of the Senate reacted in an exceptionally expressive manner.

- Is Stanisław Piotrowicz a constitutional authority? - the journalist asked on the program "Gość Radia ZET".

- Mr. Editor, well, okay, are we really only going to talk about the Constitutional Tribunal? I have already said everything I had to say on this matter - Karczewski replied.

- You don't want to say anything more on the subject?

- But Mr. Editor, are you going to interrogate me whether [he is] good, noble, or wonderful?

- Well, yes.

- I've already said it, thank you very much. You can ask some other questions. I have exhausted my options. 

„Among the palette of politicians who can run for the office of president, we have very recognizable politicians who have already achieved a great deal in Polish politics. Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, Donald Tusk, Rafał Trzaskowski, Radosław Sikorski. These are people who do not need to work on their recognition, so there is still some time to [carry out the selection of the candidate]” – said Marcin Kierwiński from Civic Platform (PO) in an interview with Krzysztof Ziemiec on "Political Quarter of an Hour" on TVP1.

„We are discussing this matter [primaries]. We have an agreement for the national board meeting this week. Opinions are divided. Personally, I am a supporter of… Primaries are just a tool for candidate selection. I am a supporter of us focusing more on analyzing who has the best chance to appeal to the broadest electorate in the second round. Both Donald Tusk, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, and potentially Rafał Trzaskowski, if he were interested, are politicians who can achieve a very good result in the presidential elections” - said Marcin Kierwiński from Civic Platform (PO) in an interview with Krzysztof Ziemiec on TVP1's „Kwadrans polityczny” (Political Quarter-Hour).

„As I look at what's happening, at this last week, at the growing interest, mainly generated by PSL politicians around Kosiniak-Kamysz, it seems to me that they are somewhat overdoing it in assessing the chances of the party leader. With great sympathy for Kosiniak-Kamysz, he is the leader of a party that is not the largest opposition party. If we were to place our bets on the chances of an opposition candidate winning, it would rather be the candidate representing the largest opposition party, meaning Civic Coalition,” said Marcin Kierwiński from PO in an interview with Krzysztof Ziemiec on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour".

- However, there were [in 2015] specific grounds regarding the flaws in the procedure for electing these [Constitutional Tribunal] judges. It concerned all five. Two were indeed elected in a scandalous manner, as if in reserve, while in the other cases, there was a flagrant violation of the election procedure itself and the nomination of candidates, hence the president's decision. However, I believe that we will now ensure that everything is done absolutely in accordance with the law and that the president will have no legal doubts that this selection has been made correctly - stated Jacek Sasin in a conversation with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus, when asked if there was a fear that the president might not accept the oath of office from the newly elected Constitutional Tribunal judges. - Let's stand on the ground of legal provisions. Of course, the president has the right to assess whether the selection itself was made correctly, and the president has made such an assessment in the past. I absolutely do not intend to take away this right from Mr. President, because the president stands as the guardian of the observance of law and the Constitution. It is the parliament's competence to select these candidates. Parliament must make this selection in accordance with the law, whereas as for whom it selects, that is exclusively the domain of parliament - the Deputy Prime Minister continued. When asked if, should the selection of Constitutional Tribunal judges be conducted in accordance with the law, the president must accept their oaths, he replied: - You are putting me in an awkward situation as someone who is supposed to tell the president what to do. I know the president and I know that the president perfectly understands his role in the system of power in Poland, and that role includes, among others, the role of guardian of the law and the Constitution. And I am convinced that if this selection is made with absolute respect for legal provisions and the Constitution, the president will have no doubts here.

- Let's give these individuals a chance to show that they are truly capable of fulfilling this function. One cannot assume a priori that someone will be a bad judge or a judge who will not cope with the function entrusted to them. I am absolutely convinced that this will be the case [that they will be politically independent] - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

"It is indeed difficult today to find people who are better, more comprehensively prepared to hold such a position [of a Constitutional Tribunal judge]. Not only because of their education, their legal knowledge, but also their experience within state structures, as this is also important when making rulings. Not just the knowledge of legal provisions themselves, but also the mechanisms of the state, how it operates, and these individuals are excellently prepared for this" – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus. "There is another characteristic that is common to both of these individuals. They are not people who fear expressing their views, even if they are controversial, even if they go against the established beliefs of the majority. It is also important, when being a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal, to be courageous" – added the Deputy Prime Minister.

Our announcements regarding the 13th pension as a permanent mechanism that will be repeated every year are absolutely still being upheld. Yes, this law will introduce a permanent mechanism for the annual 13th pension. This is what we announced before the elections, and we are absolutely not backing down from it. It will be one of the first laws that the government will adopt and send to parliament. This is, moreover, a project that is to be adopted within the next 100 days, as that was our announcement. The Ministry of Family is currently working on this project - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), commenting on the CJEU ruling, emphasizes that it concerns a historical situation that does not reflect the currently binding regulations. The Ministry notes that Poland does not question the obligation to execute court rulings, although it remains convinced that the changes contested by the European Commission did not infringe judicial independence.

The issue concerns the act on the system of common courts from July 2017, according to which the retirement age for judges of common courts, judges of the Supreme Court, and prosecutors was lowered to 60 years for women and 65 years for men. Although the regulations have already been amended, the European Commission decided to uphold the charges.

„As we catch up with Western countries, we must have the means for development. Cohesion funds serve this purpose. I am glad that some Western countries see it in a similar way. One of the fundamental principles of the community is to create equal conditions for competition, cooperation, and the sale of products and services on the single market. Cohesion policy and the common agricultural policy are among our primary goals for the coming years” - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Prague at the summit of the Cohesion Friends Group. „We must convince the richest countries, who have had more luck in history – like the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, or France – that this distribution of revenue costs was fair” - he added.

- It is very depoliticized [the Constitutional Tribunal]. These are specialists, professionals, people with enormous competence and enormous experience. So, certainly, these are not political appointments [to the Tribunal], but professional ones – stated Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

“[The Supreme Court] accepted that these deadlines cannot be counted in the same way as in procedural matters, in civil proceedings, that we are dealing with a different situation here. The National Electoral Commission, using the deadlines from the Electoral Code, established the election calendar well before the death of Kornel Morawiecki and indicated September 30 as the last day on which a candidate change, i.e., substituting another person for a deceased candidate, could occur,” stated Supreme Court spokesperson Michał Laskowski at a press conference.

“In the opinion of the Supreme Court, the deadline was not missed, and therefore this protest is unfounded. This is the first protest to be substantively examined. The remaining ones were dismissed without further proceedings. It was recognized that they did not meet the conditions for being considered. There were 15 such cases, and today another one has been substantively reviewed. Sessions are still ongoing,” he added.

The President made a decision today that the first session of the Sejm and Senate of the new term has been convened for November 12th. Barbara Borys-Damięcka has been appointed Marshal of the Senate, and the President has appointed Antoni Macierewicz as Marshal of the Sejm. The President placed great importance on ensuring that, just as it was in 2015, the Marshal of the Sejm would be someone with a distinguished opposition record. Someone who, especially this year, the 30th anniversary of the first partially free elections to the Polish Sejm, has immensely served the Polish state. Hence the decision for Antoni Macierewicz to be the Marshal of the Sejm - stated Błażej Spychalski at a press briefing.

- The President will participate in both the first session of the Sejm and the Senate. The President's addresses are planned for both the Sejm and the Senate. Naturally, he will participate. The first session of the Sejm is at 12:00 PM, and the first session of the Senate is at 4:00 PM - stated Błażej Spychalski at a press briefing.

Regarding the candidates for the Constitutional Tribunal: the state knows perfectly well how the procedure for selecting judges for the CT works. Judges for the CT are elected by the Sejm, and the President, in accordance with the Constitution, merely receives their oath. That is all I can say on this matter. The President greatly cares that these individuals, those who will serve as judges of the CT, guarantee that the CT's authority will become ever better, ever greater, and that is what the President cares about - stated Błażej Spychalski at a press briefing.

It is not entirely clear how the procedure for selecting Constitutional Tribunal judges will unfold. Theoretically, the new Sejm could make the appointments, but it is no longer convening. Therefore, the procedure might resume after November 12th.

- After deep consideration, I have decided that I will not run in the upcoming presidential elections. I am announcing this decision today because time is pressing, and I would not want to hinder the opposition's candidate selection process in any way. I believe we can win these elections, but for that, we need a candidate who is not burdened by the baggage of difficult, unpopular decisions, and I am burdened with such baggage from my time as Prime Minister. Especially since I have no intention of disowning those difficult decisions. I also want to emphasize that I will strongly support the opposition in these elections and that I will use every opportunity to continue strengthening Poland's position in Europe and the world - stated Donald Tusk in a conversation with journalists.

- This statement by Donald Tusk is definitely in his interest. The chances of him winning the presidential election in Poland were minimal. He didn't want to compete in a contest where he wasn't sure he had a high probability of winning - said Waldemar Paruch in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- It's not as if these elections are already won by Andrzej Duda. If we consider the parliamentary elections and compare that to the number of votes needed to win the presidential election, it seems he's missing about 500,000-600,000 more voters - said Waldemar Paruch in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' on Polsat News.

- It is highly probable that Andrzej Duda's second-round opponent will be a left-wing candidate rather than a centrist one - stated Waldemar Paruch in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

Let's wait for the clarification of Mr. Marian Banaś's case. Let's wait for the final information from the CBA. Let's wait for the final data that will emerge. I have no doubts. If it turns out to be unfavorable for Mr. Marian Banaś, there will be a change in the President of NIK – stated Waldemar Paruch in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program „Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- In reality, the first round of presidential elections will be a primary for the opposition. Only the second round will be the moment when everyone who has been eliminated can appeal to their voters: vote for the one who made it to the second round - said Krzysztof Łapiński in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.

- Donald Tusk, especially this spring, and I know this from a reliable source, let me put it this way, he relished in provoking PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński, with all those comments. He simply deliberately posted those tweets to upset him, specifically - said Ryszard Kalisz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program 'Events and Opinions' on Polsat News.

- Jarosław Kaczyński is simply testing how Porozumienie will react, without even informing Gowin about it. He wants to break them. In other words, he wants to provoke a conflict. Jarosław Kaczyński enjoys conflict management - said Ryszard Kalisz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.
