Chairperson Biejat should remember that nothing is given forever. No position is permanent.
“Madam Chairperson [Magdalena Biejat] should remember that nothing is given forever. No position is permanent. It will be the parliamentarians themselves, in consultation with the leadership of PiS, who will decide who will chair this [family] committee. It is normal for such political decisions to be made in this way,” said the Head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery, Minister Michał Dworczyk, on Radio Jedynka.

Today the Council of Ministers will adopt a regulation establishing a government plenipotentiary for demographic policy
“Today the Council of Ministers will adopt a regulation that will establish a government plenipotentiary for demographic policy. To my knowledge, as this will already be the competence of Minister Maląg, such a plenipotentiary, or rather a female plenipotentiary, will be appointed in the coming days. Regarding the plenipotentiary’s tasks, we can read that their duties include preparing a demographic strategy aimed at increasing fertility and promoting the traditional family,” said the Head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery, Minister Michał Dworczyk, on Radio Jedynka.

A Little More Patience and the Coalition Agreement Will Be Polished and Signed
„This is a natural negotiation process. The fundamental issues have already been discussed and agreed upon. Yesterday, Prime Minister Gowin said that their group is ready to sign this [coalition] agreement even this week, so I think that with a little more patience, this agreement will be polished and signed” - said the Head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery, Minister Michał Dworczyk, on Radio Jedynka.

Ziobro is Exercising Competencies Belonging to the Minister of Justice, as They Did to Previous Ministers
- The Prime Minister trusted both Zbigniew Ziobro and other ministers currently in the government. He trusted them in the sense that he appointed them. This was a few days ago. And he still trusts them. Minister Ziobro is exercising competencies that belong to the Minister of Justice and also belonged to previous Ministers of Justice. I think he has done so in a manner consistent with the law. Therefore, he has the right to do so, and similarly, previous Ministers of Justice also carried out such revocations of delegations or delegations – stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

They could search people at 6 AM for dressing monuments in 'Constitution' t-shirts. Yet, gallows with portraits are absolutely fine.
„The prosecution found no indication of a threat, no elements of hate speech. When there was the incident with the rainbow-colored Mother of God, the intervention was immediate, at 6 AM, to apprehend the person making photocopies of the picture. At 6 AM, they could also break into homes and search people who dressed monuments in t-shirts with the inscription 'Constitution'. However, gallows with portraits are absolutely fine. Something is evidently going very wrong in the Polish state” – said Barbara Nowacka of Civic Coalition in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- The matter of nominating candidates for Constitutional Tribunal judges is covered by the coalition agreement, which is being negotiated, and this point has already been negotiated and is not subject to any reservations. Indeed, I can confirm that in this round, PiS nominated its candidates for Constitutional Tribunal judges, and therefore takes responsibility for these nominations. As a coalition partner, we support them within the framework of the coalition agreement. However, for the next term, which falls, I believe, in January, for the election of the next Constitutional Tribunal judge, Porozumienie Jarosława Gowina will indeed nominate its candidate - stated Kamil Bortniczuk in an interview with Jacek Gądek during the Morning Interview on Gazeta.pl.
10:01
- I have been saying for a long time that for image reasons, it would probably be better to cut this series short. As for the facts, whether he has actually committed any offenses that should lead to him losing this position, we need to wait until the relevant services complete their work, reach concrete conclusions, and the appropriate state officials examine them and make the necessary decisions. I haven't heard anyone from the United Right environment claiming that Marian Banaś should be protected at all costs simply because he is from our circle - stated Kamil Bortniczuk in an interview with Jacek Gądek in the Gazeta.pl Morning Conversation.

This is a frivolous proposal. The Warsaw City Council decided to commemorate the Battle of Warsaw with a monument in the city center at Plac na Rozdrożu.
- This is a frivolous proposal [by Prime Minister Morawiecki regarding the construction of a triumphal arch in honor of the Battle of Warsaw]. Warsaw and the Warsaw City Council have decided to commemorate the Battle of Warsaw with a monument in the city center at Plac na Rozdrożu. This monument is being built. This was an initiative of the Warsaw City Council. If the Prime Minister suddenly comes up with such an idea, in my opinion, it shows a lack of seriousness on the part of the Prime Minister and a lack of seriousness on the part of this government. I would advise the Prime Minister that instead of provoking Warsaw on this matter, he should focus on problems that are currently very important in Poland, such as healthcare – stated Paweł Rabiej in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.
- This is an important battle, so the Warsaw conservation officer is currently working on the concept. It will certainly be a monument that commemorates it worthily, in an important location – continued the Deputy Mayor of Warsaw.

„We want to ensure the best possible living conditions for the animals we care for, as well as working conditions for over 300 volunteers who help us care for the animals every day. The modernization of the shelter is necessary to provide such conditions” - said Justyna Glusman, coordinator for sustainable development and green spaces of the capital city of Warsaw, at a press conference in front of the Prime Minister's Chancellery.
„We appeal to the Prime Minister to ensure that PPL [State Enterprise „Polish Airports”] issues a statement consenting to our carrying out a thorough modernization of the shelter, and that it enters into a long-term agreement with us so that we can carry out the necessary renovations. We are submitting a letter on this matter to the Prime Minister, and I hope that, in line with the Prime Minister's declarations, a meeting will take place where we can discuss the details and find a legal solution to this situation and the development of our shelter” - she added.

Siemoniak:
Today I Support Schetyna
- I support Grzegorz Schetyna, I believe he is a very good leader, and I have no idea if he will run in these elections, he hasn't said so. Some deadlines will be set by the Platform's authorities by when one needs to declare themselves. However, while I greatly value Borys Budka, I supported him in the elections for the club leader, we work closely together, I believe that at this moment, if Grzegorz Schetyna runs, I don't see a better candidate - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.
- As I say, if Grzegorz Schetyna, for some reason, were not to run, then I could consider this new situation. Today, I support Grzegorz Schetyna - added the PO politician.
13:31
- Today I will send an invitation to President Marian Banaś to attend a meeting of the Committee on Local Government and State Administration on December 10th at 12:00 PM. The purpose of this invitation is to provide the President with an opportunity to offer explanations in connection with matters that are quite widely known and raise strong doubts as to whether he is the right person for such a prominent position as President of the Supreme Audit Office (NIK). We will want to hear these explanations, and the Senate is the place where such explanations can be given, as the Senate participated by expressing consent in the appointment of the President to his current position - stated Zygmunt Frankiewicz at a briefing in the Senate.
- I think this falls more within the realm of good practice than a legal obligation. Moreover, sending a deputy does not resolve the matter, because the doubts concerning Mr. Marian Banaś's actions are not related to the activities of the NIK, but to his personal affairs, his business activities, and his activities as a state official elsewhere. Therefore, I don't think this will solve the problem. President Banaś must be present. If he does not accept the invitation, we will deeply regret it and consider the opportunity to clarify an extremely important matter for the entire country to have been missed - he added.

The parliamentary committee for state control, at the request of the President of the Supreme Audit Office (NIK), is issuing an opinion to the Marshal of the Sejm regarding the nominations of Tadeusz Dziuba and Marek Opioła for the positions of NIK deputy presidents. Marian Banaś appeared at the committee meeting, and upon entering the parliament building, he declined to speak with journalists. At the beginning of the session, the opposition called for an adjournment until the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) report is presented.
14:40
"To Chairman Banaś – regarding the submitted candidacies. Who did you consult these candidacies with? Did you speak with the candidates beforehand, or perhaps with someone from PiS leadership? Did you discuss the candidacies with Chairman Kaczyński? Have you spoken with Prime Minister Morawiecki in recent days?" said Marcin Kierwiński of Civic Coalition during a session of the Sejm's Committee on State Control.
14:54
– This is the president's prerogative and it's my initiative. I know both Mr. Dziuba and Opioła very well. One gentleman from working at NIK, with whom I had the honor to cooperate and later also as the chairman of a commission where he sat, and Mr. Opioła also for 4 years when I held the position of Head of KAS and Minister of Finance. He worked in a commission, I cooperated with him. I consider this cooperation very fruitful, and he is one of the best candidates. Both of them, whom I presented personally here. I am not consulting this with anyone – stated Marian Banaś during the session of the Sejm Committee on State Control.
15:16
- These are my questions, which I am posing publicly. To President Banaś. Is there a deal between you and the parliamentary majority, President Kaczyński, and Prime Minister Morawiecki? And this is a question I am also posing here, at the Committee on State Control, to Prime Minister Morawiecki. Is there a deal under which you will cover up the truth about President Banaś? - stated Sławomir Nitras during the session of the Sejm Committee on State Control.

I had no influence over who the building's tenant shared my phone number with. When I realized I was speaking to someone other than the tenant, I immediately ended the call.
- On September 2, 2019, Bertold Kittel from TVN appeared at my former tenement house and recorded with a hidden camera my phone conversation with the stepfather of the former tenant. I had no influence over who the building's tenant shared my phone number with. When I realized I was speaking to someone other than the tenant, I immediately ended the call - stated Marian Banaś during a session of the parliamentary committee for state control.

Banaś:
In Krakow, there are many hotels where you can rent a room by the hour. For example, to rest during or before a trip, or to prepare for a planned meeting.
- On September 21, 2019, TVN aired a program suggesting that a business other than hotel operations was conducted in my former tenement house. In Krakow, there are many hotels where you can rent a room by the hour. For example, to rest during or before a trip, or to prepare for a planned meeting. This can be easily verified online. I also want to clearly emphasize that throughout the entire lease period, I received no signals of any irregularities in the tenement house, neither from neighbors, nor from the police, nor from the municipal guard - stated Marian Banaś during a session of the Sejm's Committee on Public Control.
17:07
Banaś:
On October 1, 2019, I sued TVN for defamation
17:28
Banaś:
Linking me to the activities of individuals suspected of fiscal crimes, formerly employed by the Ministry of Finance, is manipulation and abuse
- Regarding the connections with dishonest officials of the Ministry of Finance, as you also asked about that. In recent weeks, a series of insinuations have also been published, suggesting that I was a patron to former Ministry of Finance officials who organized and participated in the criminal procedure of VAT fraud. I would like to emphasize that linking me to the activities of individuals suspected of fiscal crimes, formerly employed by the Ministry of Finance, is manipulation and abuse. The moment I, as the head of KAS (National Revenue Administration), received information about potential irregularities concerning individuals working in the Ministry of Finance, I immediately decided to dismiss them from their positions and terminate their employment contracts. This happened many months before their arrest. The above was also possible thanks to the establishment of the KAS internal inspection office by me in the spring of 2017 - stated Marian Banaś during a session of the parliamentary committee for state control.
17:30
Banaś:
I Have Never Betrayed My Duties Performed for the Public Good, Nor Have I Undertaken Any Illegal Actions
- In conclusion, I wish to emphasize that I have never betrayed my duties performed for the public good, nor have I undertaken any illegal actions. I consider any assertion to the contrary to be a violation of my legally protected personal rights. I will react decisively to such defamation of my good name – stated Marian Banaś during the session of the parliamentary committee for state control.

Fogiel:
United Right Coalition Agreement is Essentially Ready. Signing – Within Days
– The agreement is essentially ready. Leaders of the United Right have met several times, finalizing details. We have established programmatic issues, parliamentary work plans, areas of competence, and technical matters. The support of the entire United Right for Andrzej Duda in the presidential elections is obvious. It has also been agreed how we will operate in the event of any elections that may arise along the way. In principle, there shouldn't be any, but sometimes there are, for example, supplementary elections. The signing of the agreement will take place within days; it's a matter of the calendars of the leaders of PiS, Porozumienie, and Solidarna Polska. PiS treats our partners from the United Right as equals and with respect. We take into account their expectations and any doubts they may have – said Radosław Fogiel, Deputy Spokesperson for PiS, in "Rozmowa Niezależna" with Lidia Lemaniak.

I listened with astonishment as Banaś becomes a victim of TVN. It resembles Piotrowicz's story, who claims he was a victim of the communist system.
- I listened with astonishment as Marian Banaś is currently being portrayed as a victim of TVN. It strongly resembles the story of Mr. Piotrowicz, who, having received [something] in 1984, later claims he was a victim of the communist system as a prosecutor. It's a similar tune somewhere - said Barbara Nowacka in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

Banaś Appeared in Sejm During Discussion on His New Deputies; If PiS Had Doubts, They Wouldn't Let Him Choose Them

- [Banaś's words] made such an impression on me that I actually ask myself three times, because I have always spoken quite harshly about the President of NIK. I considered it to be an image burden for us, after what has emerged, and I know that if it concerned a person whose position is not constitutionally protected, then likely, regardless of how it ended, in order to protect the good name of the United Right, further steps would have been taken, as we have many examples - said Kamil Bortniczuk in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Events and Opinions" on Polsat News.
20:19
- To a large extent, yes [the coalition agreement is ready] - said Kamil Bortniczuk in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.
- And will the matter of the NIK president be there? - the journalist pressed.
- I saw the agreement, I read it, and I don't recall - Bortniczuk replied.
