Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will participate in the COP25 Climate Summit in Madrid. At 9:00 AM, the head of the Polish government will attend a meeting of European leaders, and at 10:30 AM – the official opening ceremony of the summit. A working session of heads of state and government is scheduled for 11:30 AM.

Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska will be in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The Deputy Marshal of the Sejm will meet with students in Koszalin at 10:15 AM, and at 2:15 PM, a press conference will be held in Szczecin. A meeting with representatives of Szczecin's and the voivodeship's cultural circles is planned for 3:00 PM, and at 5:30 PM – a pre-primary election meeting with delegates and members of Civic Platform in Szczecin.

- The current legal status is such that, according to the Polish constitution, the President of the Supreme Audit Office can in practice cease to hold their entrusted office only as a result of their own decision. If that does not happen, and we know that precisely such appeals were made, then it seems difficult to find another legal path besides amending the fundamental law - stated Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Katarzyna Gójska on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on Jedynka radio.

- This week, a new minister of sport will be appointed, or rather appointed, who will take over the duties. She will be a decorated athlete - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Katarzyna Gójska on "Sygnały dnia" on Polish Radio Channel One. 

- The situation appears ambiguous at best. I haven't read the report myself, but people who have read it say there are grounds for the President to leave his current position, and the legislative solutions we are potentially discussing, well, of course, their potential implementation should absolutely guarantee the independence of the NIK President. On the other hand, if we were to consider a solution like introducing the possibility of dismissing the head of NIK by a qualified majority of votes in the Sejm, it seems that this would safeguard against political attacks - said Michał Dworczyk in a conversation with Katarzyna Gójska in "Sygnały dnia" on Polskie Radio Jedynka. 

- Marian Banasi will not be forced to make specific decisions. Of course, discussions can be held, especially since he was recommended by us for the position he currently holds and the president has expressed his stance - stated Sebastian Kaleta in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Talk."

- Given that he has worked with us for several years within the government, and was also appointed to his current position by our political camp, it is not surprising that he listened to a certain political stance on the situation surrounding him - the Deputy Minister of Justice continued.

- Of course not, because Mariusz Kamiński has great merits for our camp. Specifically, in the area of the efficient operation of the services, among other things - stated Sebastian Kaleta in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" when asked if Mariusz Kamiński should consider resigning.

- The Supreme Audit Office Act can be reviewed to see how the competencies within the Supreme Audit Office itself can be arranged. However, the most important thing is that the term of office of the President of the Supreme Audit Office stems from the constitution - said Michał Woś in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' 'Graffiti'.

- Let's wait for further steps. If [Marian Banaś] doesn't resign, certainly the camp leaders will present a further plan of action. I don't know [what that plan is] - stated Sebastian Kaleta in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Talk".

- I think that legislation should be introduced which would allow, in connection with these doubts, to shorten the term of office of the NIK president. Perhaps appropriate legislative changes should be made, but also taking into account the opposition's participation - continued the Deputy Minister of Justice.

- There were recent elections, judges could have taken off their robes and run in the elections. Nobody has to be a judge. If they are a judge, they should behave like a judge, meaning they should be apolitical. Let them engage in public activities, but in a way that is compatible with their impartiality or independence. If they stand shoulder to shoulder with opposition politicians, shouting slogans associated with the opposition and with social unrest, then they are simply politicians, and I am not at all surprised that disciplinary actions are being taken against such judges - said Michał Woś in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti" program.

- We certainly know the regulations in force in France and Germany. In France, for example, the events we witnessed yesterday in Wrocław, in Gorzów Wielkopolski, with a Member of Parliament speaking before a judge. Mr. Pinior, who was speaking to judges… We know the French and German regulations that very strictly discipline judges for political activity – stated Sebastian Kaleta in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego," when asked if there would be a disciplinary law for judges. - We are analyzing and it is not impossible that solutions analogous to those in France and Germany will be introduced into the legal system, given the fact that yesterday we saw several truly disturbing scenes concerning the apolitical nature of judges in Poland – said the Deputy Minister of Justice.

- This is a complex legal issue. If someone is a minister of a specific area, they must have, according to the act on administrative departments, a specific department. The Ministry of the Environment is one department, and we have two ministers, - Michał Woś said in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- I hope it will be at the beginning of the year. If we allow 30 days for the Senate, then I think it will be January, - Woś added.

- We maintain our desire for this issue surrounding the head of NIK to conclude in the most anticipated way, that is, through Marian Banaś's resignation. I appeal for him to make a responsible decision. I am aware of the difficult situation President Banaś finds himself in. He disagrees with the charges and would like them to be clarified by the prosecutor's actions. I believe and wish for the head of NIK to clear himself of the charges, but at this moment, for the good of the institution and the good of Poland, he should resign so that we do not have this scandalous spectacle again, as we did with Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, the previous head of NIK. He remained in office for over two years while facing prosecution charges – said Jacek Sasin on Trójka.

- This is actually a question for President Banaś. Marshal Witek announced that she is still awaiting the minister's resignation today. We hope the minister made such a decision over the weekend. Whether it comes true, we shall see. I am not aware of any further discussions. The meeting that took place [last week] was the only one, and it was extraordinary due to the situation. The governing party's expectations were expressed quite clearly - stated Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Marcin Wikło on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour".

- Plan B involves work on legislative solutions that, in extraordinary situations... whether amending the law or some additional solution that would, in extraordinary situations, allow for, of course with maximum safeguards, because the independence of NIK as such is very important. If NIK is to fulfill its function, independence must be guaranteed, but we had an example of the previous NIK president appointed by Civic Platform facing prosecutorial charges. There are situations where solutions might be needed to remove, recall, or perhaps suspend, and I'm just speculating for now, the incumbent NIK President. It's a matter of finding a balance, so that scandalous situations do not occur, and on the other hand, that this valuable independence is protected - stated Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Marcin Wikło on TVP1's "Kwadrans polityczny" (Political Quarter Hour).

- He clearly abused his mandate. I didn't expect Robert Biedroń to behave in a way that would bring Poland good repute in the EU, but what he's doing is below any acceptable level. The first action, related to the sexual education bill – it was precisely at his request that the entire left-wing faction tabled this motion – the entire debate in the European Parliament was based on two vulgar lies. The message there was that the Polish government is pushing this bill, when in fact it was a citizens' initiative. And the second point was that the Polish government wants to punish educators, while the bill spoke of punishing pedophilia. If a person entrusted with a mandate of confidence behaves in this manner, slandering our country with vulgar lies, then what can be said about such a person – stated Zbigniew Kuźmiuk in a conversation with Michał Rachoń on the TVP Info program "Jedziemy".

I still hope for common sense and such a sense of state responsibility from the President [Marian Banaś] that in this situation, he should of course clarify, and I understand that he may have the right to ascertain whether the accusations against him are valid or not, but he doesn't have to do it while simultaneously being the president of the Supreme Audit Office, a constitutional body. It seems to me that this serves neither him nor the constitutional body. It's time to finally end this soap opera – stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Jacek Gądek on Gazeta.pl's Morning Conversation. It's no secret, we are both from Krakow, President Banaś and I. We knew each other from before the political period, and I truly believe in his sense of responsibility – she emphasized.

We should be truly calm about next year. If there's an increase, it won't be a drastic increase; if we consider the inflation rate, it really won't be a drastic increase – stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Jacek Gądek on Gazeta.pl's Morning Interview. – If it's five to seven [percent], it's really hard to talk about an increase, because if we take into account the inflation rate, we are essentially within the current price range – she continued. We know there will be no legislation on this matter this year. I believe we have introduced two price-forming elements into the system permanently, namely the excise duty reduction and the transitional fee reduction. And this is a systemic solution that influences the braking of energy prices – she emphasized.

- I also want to state very clearly that the Banaś affair is a PiS scandal, and we, as Civic Coalition, will not agree to attempts to shift responsibility onto the opposition. Suggesting any solutions like changing the Constitution or regulations is completely absurd, especially in a situation where Marian Banaś, hand in hand with PiS, led to the appointment of two PiS politicians as Vice-Presidents of NIK last week. According to our assumptions, we are dealing with a certain fiction, a certain manipulation of the situation, because even if Marian Banaś suspends himself or resigns, NIK will be run for many years by acting officials who were yesterday's PiS politicians - stated Tomasz Siemoniak at a briefing in the Sejm.

- Today, together with Prime Minister Siemoniak, we will ask Prime Minister Morawiecki to publicize and share the full timeline of the Banaś affair, the creation of the Banaś republic, with the public. We expect concrete answers to questions about when the CBA (Central Anticorruption Bureau) started dealing with Mr. Banaś’s case, when the proceedings were extended and for what period. We expect information on when Mr. Banaś responded to the original content of the report, when this report was completed, and when and to whom it was sent when it was finished. Did it immediately land on Prime Minister Morawiecki's desk, or was it sent to other PiS politicians? - stated Marcin Kierwiński at a briefing in the Sejm.

- We will also send a letter to Prime Minister Morawiecki to find out if Chairman Kaczyński was informed of the CBA report [concerning Marian Banaś] - stated Marcin Kierwiński at a briefing in the Sejm.

- It is clear to everyone that Poland has its goals to achieve, that the cost of transformation must be distributed fairly, and our demands must also be met so that we can talk about further reduction targets regarding CO2 emission reductions. We have our very difficult starting point, characteristic only of Poland due to our dependence on coal, and this starting point must be taken into account - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told journalists in Madrid.

As the head of the Polish government added, he participated this morning in a meeting with EU leaders to discuss the Union's common approach and the position of individual states regarding climate change and the climate conference itself.

- I made it very clear that Poland is, of course, one of the EU countries that has undertaken the commitments of the Paris Agreement, but at the same time, we also have our very characteristic starting point, and this was accepted with understanding - he said. PM Morawiecki indicated that among the EU leaders, he spoke about several issues that he considered fundamental.

When I hear PiS politicians' ideas about passing a bill to discipline judges, I see more of a need to pass a bill to discipline the president and the PiS government. It is the current authorities, by violating the constitutional order and EU treaties, who are stripping Polish courts of their independence - Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz said in the Sejm. - If such a bill appears, it will also be another test for President Andrzej Duda, who so far has behaved like Jarosław Kaczyński's lackey and carries out all instructions from Nowogrodzka Street - the MP continued. - Of course, I also count on the Senate playing an important role if such a bill appears. I expect that such a bill will be thoroughly examined for its compliance with the constitution and treaties. I hope that the Senate will organize a public hearing and seek the opinions of all institutions and legal authorities related to the judiciary - she added.

- We know that there are two paths that the law gives us today. On the one hand, it is bringing Mr. Banaś before the State Tribunal. If such a motion is submitted, Lewica will vote to bring Mr. Banaś before the State Tribunal. He should explain himself to the citizens, but also to the appropriate institution for judging public officials, regarding whom there are doubts about their morality and adherence to the law. And the second path. If the prosecution initiates an investigation into Mr. Marian Banaś and requests the lifting of his immunity, Lewica will also be in favour - said Marcelina Zawisza during a press conference in the Sejm. 

- In reference to media reports, I would like to communicate that no letter, as described in the article, has been received by the Chancellery of the Sejm Marshal's office. This also means that the Sejm Marshal could not have read it, let alone sent it back. At the same time, it should be emphasized that the Sejm Marshal did not meet with the driver from the Supreme Audit Office, who - according to reports on one of the portals - was supposed to arrive at the office of the second highest official in the state on Friday - stated CIS Director Andrzej Grzegrzółka in an interview with 300POLITYKA, referring to information from "Dziennik Gazeta Prawna" that Marian Banaś had resigned, but Marshal Witek had sent the letter back asking him to indicate the acting head of NIK, and he refused.

- PO requires a serious reform. A facelift won't suffice. To survive on the political scene, regain credibility, and better respond to current phenomena, changes are needed: in the way key decisions are made, in [our] agency, in [our] program offering, in the organization of party life, in the quality of communication with society, and also in leadership itself – wrote Bogdan Zdrojewski on Facebook. As he announced, starting today, he will be publishing his own "Program for the Platform" daily, meaning his own reflections, proposals, and thoughts.

This is another day of our pre-campaign. A pre-campaign that is very important for Civic Platform, as my colleagues have said. It gives us strength, energy, mobilization, because after the previous parliamentary elections, we noticed that people saw that there is hope for winning campaigns, for showing their strength and determination, and these meetings are very important. And contrary to all those who say that this pre-campaign might harm us, we will not allow ourselves to be divided. This campaign for us, as Civic Platform, is very good, mobilizing, not only for the candidates participating in these primaries, but also for the structures - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in Szczecin.

[People] want to feel that Polish security is guaranteed by a strong and well-functioning army, they want to feel that our foreign policy is conducted strongly and well, so that we are a serious partner in discussions - continued the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, emphasizing that people want politicians to seriously focus on healthcare, the climate, and to take themselves seriously.

- Yes, I am running in the elections for the head of Civic Platform. This is an unconditional announcement. Of course, I never close all doors. Political or interpersonal events can occur that might lead to some agreement, a broad consensus for the sake of Civic Platform and a new program. For now, I don't see that, hence it's just a small loophole. I confirm, I am running for the head of PO - stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM.

- There are too many mistakes, too many flaws to remain indifferent to them. For this reason, I say: a facelift is not enough, the changes should be quite profound. If [Civic Platform] does not make appropriate changes in the very near future, it could cease to exist in its current form, with its current banner, etc. - stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM.

- I believe that with Grzegorz Schetyna at the head of Civic Platform, we will not win the presidential elections - stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM. 

Regardless of who wins the presidential election, because certain changes have already occurred. The Senate elections alone showed that we are perhaps at a breakthrough moment. But one way or another, for the next three years or more, the team that, in my opinion, and this is my assessment, has done a lot of damage to Poland, will be in power. And will cause a lot more damage. That is why the perspective of three to four years is so important. We must repair and rebuild a political force that will be capable of not only defeating PiS, but truly presenting a more attractive offer than before – said Donald Tusk in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- The President has no power because he ceded his power to his political patron. This is one of the fundamental problems of this presidency - said Donald Tusk in a conversation with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

Poles were unequivocal in their assessment of the scandal that was the Polish government's lack of support for a Polish candidate for the head of the European Council. And from that moment, it is clearly visible, this is demonstrable, to use the language of a scientist, that from that moment on, the PiS authorities, primarily public media, decided to prevent this scenario. A huge amount of time, a huge amount of money, and a huge amount of ill will were invested to minimize the chances of my return, a quick return to Polish politics. And in my opinion, largely successfully – said Donald Tusk in a conversation with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts after Facts).

I am convinced that we can complain, and I am very sorry about it, that the amount of bad things that have happened in the last 4 years, the amount of injustice and such ordinary scoundrelism that burdens this government, has not yet made a significant dent in the thinking of many Poles, about half, 50%. Perhaps we still need some time. Perhaps the scenario is written in such a way that we need a Banaś and another Banaś, that the KNF example, Mr. Glapiński, were not enough, I don't want to list them. Very many events that disgusted many commentators, but somehow did not change the general social mood. Perhaps Poles, I'm talking about the decisive majority, need to see more of this evil to change their minds,

- The case of Judge Juszczyszyn is not a precedent. Attempts to intimidate judges in various ways have been ongoing practically since the first protests by this community. I have the highest regard for people who also have the right to sometimes feel alone and exposed, because they have become the primary enemy. In any case, I have the impression that the club of those blamed for everything has grown, now including the judicial community. And I have the honour of being in this club since its very beginning – said Donald Tusk in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- I see no reason for the opposition to participate in this government's self-discreditation in any degree or in any way. And it's not about whether to help or not help PiS [Law and Justice party], but if today Poles have a sense of chaos, legal, constitutional, and above all moral chaos in power, then they also have the right to believe that there is someone outside of this government who will not participate in this total mess, but will work on steering Poland out of this corner - stated Donald Tusk in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- This is something more. This is a philosophy of practicing politics. I know it very well, dating back to the 90s. I have known Jarosław Kaczyński really well since that time, if the word 'well' fits here. He never hesitated to use worthless, weak individuals who were ready to submit to him, to achieve his own goals. On many occasions, I had the opportunity to witness with what contempt he spoke about these people when they weren't listening - Donald Tusk said in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- I have watched various Speakers and Deputy Speakers in action. Even the late Deputy Speaker Lepper, known for his unconventional behavior, would not have come up with such an idea [to cancel the vote]. It wouldn't even have crossed his mind. So, as I recall the unease then, when PiS, LPR, and Samoobrona ruled, the 'Versailles' ended, and what would happen when Samoobrona started imposing standards. The standards were definitely higher than what PiS is presenting today. Today, if Andrzej Lepper were alive, he would likely be ashamed to co-govern with Kaczyński, not the other way around - stated Donald Tusk in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- We need to start with very practical, I would say politically simple, intellectually simple steps. The first, an obvious step, is an attempt to build a synthesis, a lasting agreement, as is the case in several countries in Europe, between Civic Platform and the Polish People's Party - Donald Tusk said in a conversation with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz in "Fakty po faktach" on TVN24.

- I know that such a radically left-wing idea might be an alternative to PiS, but in my assessment, it will not be beneficial for Poland at all. In reality, the most important thing from the perspective of Polish politics is the rebuilding of this moderate center, but also with elements of such a conservative tradition - Tusk added.

- I think indeed this first round will be the form of a real primary election, and it is important that those who do not want the continuation of this presidency, which at times seems – to put it brutally – a caricature of the presidency due to the president's extraordinary subservience to PiS and Chairman Kaczyński, will vote in the second round with full conviction for the opposition candidate. I would propose that for those who share my view, this principle be accepted as obvious - stated Donald Tusk in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach." - As we know, we are awaiting the resolution of this issue [the PO candidate] and I would not want to influence it with my public opinion. This is not an evasion of the question. I am convinced that Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska and Jacek Jaśkowiak have, they have different strengths, but both have serious chances to… I promised and in a way, a woman will have priority, because I promised Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska that I would support her with all my heart, before Jacek Jaśkowiak's candidacy emerged. So unfortunately, I will not be in Poland at that time. I will be in Poland, but only in the evening of the same day. My duties have been arranged that way, but I will accept another verdict with equal satisfaction, because I find good reasons to support both Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska and President Jaśkowiak in these elections - he continued.

- When I look at the fate of political parties, not just in Poland, but across Europe, I must say that when someone hands over the reins, nothing good usually comes of it. Power is taken, power is fought for. There must always be some kind of obvious determination. You see such a candidate when they enter the fray and take what they believe they should take, and then it will be clear whether they are a worthy successor or not. If it's going to be such persuasion, such as someone said, such public nagging: give up power, give up power. People don't give up power, people lose power, but they don't just give it up out of the goodness of their hearts - stated Donald Tusk in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

As 300POLITYKA has learned, on Thursday President Andrzej Duda will receive the oaths of office from the Constitutional Tribunal judges elected by the Sejm in November: Krystyna Pawłowicz, Stanisław Piotrowicz, and Jakub Stelina. Our source emphasizes that the ceremony will take place during the day.

The new judges will replace Stanisław Rymar, Piotr Tuleja, and Marek Zubik in the Tribunal. Their terms expire on December 3rd, but President Duda will be in London on Tuesday and Wednesday for a meeting of NATO leaders.

The Sejm will elect one more Constitutional Tribunal judge in the near future. Małgorzata Pyziak-Szafnicka's term expires on January 5th. Consequently, only Leon Kieres, whose term expires in July 2021, will remain in the Constitutional Tribunal from the so-called "old" judges, elected by previous ruling parties.
