- This is the same Antoni Macierewicz who has immense merits for the Polish state, for our state's sovereignty, who fought very strongly against the totalitarian regime during communism, and that is why the President made the decision for him to be the Senior Marshal of the Sejm - stated Błażej Spychalski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".
- Four years ago, the President adopted certain assumptions regarding the Senior Marshal of the Sejm. Four years ago, the President appointed the late Kornel Morawiecki as Senior Marshal precisely so that his achievements from the opposition era would be duly appreciated by the organs of our state. Four years ago, he made such a decision, and today, continuing the same policy, the same assumptions, the same assumptions that were adopted, he appointed Antoni Macierewicz. Simply put. Macierewicz's achievements for the Polish state, for our sovereignty, and independence are undeniable - emphasized the President's spokesperson.
08:13
- The President had knowledge [about PiS candidates for the Constitutional Tribunal]. Yes. Of course. The President is informed, consulted on many matters, and also had knowledge on this one. This is not a matter of acceptance. It is the Sejm that makes the choice - stated Błażej Spychalski in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".
08:22
Spychalski:
I Think Tusk Disappointed Many of His Supporters
- I think Donald Tusk has disappointed many of his supporters. Certainly, when Tusk talked about why he is not running, he poured a bit of cold water on both Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, because if he was saying that difficult decisions, the burden of difficult decisions, prevents him from running, then I'm very sorry. Kosiniak-Kamysz raised the retirement age, and Kidawa-Błońska was the government spokesperson - stated Błażej Spychalski in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

„Andrzej Duda has no merit here. If anyone deserves credit, I would attribute it to Ambassador Mosbacher, whose visa policy, lack of refusals… This is an administrative decision. Polish-American relations after 1989 have been exemplary, regardless of which government is in power in Poland” - said Sławomir Neumann, a Member of Parliament-elect for Civic Coalition, in an interview with Joanna Komolka on Radio Zet.
08:35
"I'm a bit concerned because I hoped this decision would be different, but I respect it. I respect that [Donald Tusk] said it quickly. He said it now, that it will also help the Platform. Tomorrow we have a national board meeting, we've been having this discussion for a week. I was and am a supporter of primaries, but week by week there is less and less time to conduct them properly," said Civic Coalition MP-elect Sławomir Neumann in an interview with Joanna Komolka on Radio Zet.

Karczewski:
Tomorrow we have the Political Committee. We will certainly discuss the government's composition
- Tomorrow we have the [PiS] Political Committee. It's difficult for me to predict what will be on the committee. We will certainly discuss the composition of the government, but whether Prime Minister Morawiecki will present the government's composition tomorrow or at some later time, I don't know - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Dorota Łosiewicz on TVP1's "Kwadrans polityczny" (Political Quarter Hour).
08:46
- I don't know [if I will be the Senate Marshal for the new term]. Chances exist. There are no guarantees. The senators will decide, we will decide - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Dorota Łosiewicz on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour".
08:57
Karczewski:
Of Course We Are Talking. It's Completely Natural to Talk in Politics. If There Were No Talks, Borusewicz Wouldn't Have Moved From Us to Civic Platform in 2007
- Of course we are talking. I would be dishonest if I said we weren't talking. Politics is dynamic. I won't say [with whom] now. We are talking. It's completely natural to talk in politics. If there were no talks, Bogdan Borusewicz wouldn't have moved from us to Civic Platform in 2007, but he did - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Dorota Łosiewicz on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour".

Karczewski:
I Think There Will Be Political Transfers
- I think there will be political transfers. I think there will be. That's what we're aiming for. I'm not sure. We are talking, and Civic Platform is also talking - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Dorota Łosiewicz on TVP1's "Political Quarter of an Hour".

"We are talking about visas. This is a huge achievement for President Duda. This year, declarations between the presidents regarding the increased presence of American troops in Poland were signed twice. This is undoubtedly also a success that strengthens defense and security. The argument of military cooperation has always been raised. The American side remembers this perfectly" - said Minister Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info.

Sienkiewicz:
If Biedroń Runs, It's as if the Left Has No Candidate
“If Robert Biedroń runs, it will be as if the Left has not put forward any candidate. I do not believe in Robert Biedroń's ability to mobilize the electorate, after what has recently happened within his party and a certain way of speaking about his... It is difficult for me to consider this candidacy for any particular scenario” - stated Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, an elected Member of Parliament for Civic Coalition, in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM Radio's Morning show.

Constitutional Tribunal Judge Selection Process to Be Re-initiated in New Sejm Term
12:24
- I saw some post online. Someone scanned our email. Please do not spread panic. Please do not talk about a closed Sejm. Everything will be arranged so that you [journalists] can work freely, to report in detail on the first session of the ninth term of the Sejm. The conditions will be changed to the extent that perhaps the place where we are [in front of the column hall] will be the main area for media activities, instead of the one above us [at the tables]. This is a certain retouching, but it aims for such, let's say, communicative values. There will be a lot of people, the connection between the Sejm and the Senate is also very important - stated the Director of CIS, Andrzej Grzegrzółka, at a press briefing in the Sejm, when asked why restrictions would be introduced on November 12th, during the first session of the Sejm of the new term.
Yesterday's CIS communication informed: - On Tuesday, from the beginning of the day, the area around the so-called journalists' table will be out of use. Therefore, please move or secure all equipment by the afternoon of November 8th. For journalists and media representatives on November 12th, room no. 106 will be available in the immediate vicinity of the main hall, with the possibility to follow the broadcast from the Plenary Chamber. The number of seats for media representatives in the gallery above the chamber will be limited - accreditations will apply.
The communication also indicates that the gallery will be available only to camera operators and photojournalists. This information was confirmed by the Director of CIS, arguing that the gallery will be practically full, and the sector very small. - It will be organized in such a way that you will be able to work normally and freely - he emphasized.

Czarnecki:
As far as I know, Pawłowicz didn't run in elections because she knew she'd be a Constitutional Tribunal candidate. I can reveal years later, she was also a serious candidate for the CT 4 years ago.

Zandberg:
The Idea of Macierewicz Leading the First Parliamentary Session Seems Unnecessarily Confrontational
- We have addressed the President with a letter because we believe that the idea of Mr. Macierewicz leading the first parliamentary session seems unnecessarily confrontational - said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
- It seems to me that the President, by making this decision, did not serve himself well either, because Antoni Macierewicz is a highly controversial politician and, to put it mildly, a controversial figure for a significant portion of Polish women and men, not just on the left, but often among conservatives - Zandberg added.
20:01
Zandberg:
I can imagine Civic Platform supporting a Left candidate in the second round. On one hand, there's the Left, which can reach an agreement, and on the other, there's chaos and indecision in the liberal camp of the Platform.
20:04
Gawkowski:
We Will Field Our Own Candidate, We Want To and We Will Definitely Do It This Year
- The Left says yes: we will field our own candidate, we want to and we will definitely do it this year - said Krzysztof Gawkowski in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Events and Opinions" on Polsat News.
20:06
Tyszkiewicz:
I am a staunch supporter of quick, dynamic primaries. It's clear that the greatest expectations will be placed on the Civic Platform candidate.
- I am a staunch supporter of quick, dynamic primaries because primaries give a candidate the greatest mandate. It's clear that the greatest expectations will be placed on the Civic Platform candidate - said Robert Tyszkiewicz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.
20:09
Gawkowski:
There Will Be a Second Round of Presidential Elections Because Duda Won't Win in the First. He's Not Aleksander Kwaśniewski. He's in a Different Political League.
- There will be a second round of presidential elections because Andrzej Duda will not win in the first round. He's not Aleksander Kwaśniewski. He's in a slightly different political league - said Krzysztof Gawkowski in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.
20:11
Tyszkiewicz:
These are presidential elections where one must reach beyond the party electorate
- This is precisely the point, that these are presidential elections where one must reach beyond the party electorate - said Robert Tyszkiewicz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.
20:16
Śmiszek:
The Left Will Present Its Candidate at the Turn of the Year, Possibly Late December
"The Left will certainly put forward its candidate. The Left will present its candidate at the turn of the year, possibly late December. We have excellent candidates who are suited to hold this office. Robert Biedroń is one of the most popular politicians on the centre-left" - said MP-elect of the Left, Krzysztof Śmiszek, in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i" (The Dot on the i).
20:24
Horała:
Pawłowicz's Language in the Sejm Was Colorful and Decisive, Within Parliamentary Debate. In Her New Role, She Will Certainly Be More Restrained in Court.
„I presume that in her new role as a Constitutional Tribunal judge, because it is a different role, [Krystyna Pawłowicz] will behave differently. Every adult adjusts their statements. We talk differently with colleagues over a beer, differently with our mother or grandmother, and differently at an official event. We adapt our language to the role. [Pawłowicz's language in the Sejm] was very colorful, decisive, and fit within the bounds of parliamentary debate. In her new role, Professor Pawłowicz will certainly be more restrained in court” - said Marcin Horała, a newly elected Law and Justice MP, in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
