Mitera:

I'm Not in Favor of Creating Laws for 25 People

- I am not in favor of introducing legal solutions and changing the law ad hoc and for, let's say, 25 people – stated Maciej Mitera in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego", when asked about the announced so-called bill to discipline judges.

- If you ask me, I am not in favor of creating laws for 25 people. Everyone makes mistakes because they are human, and to err is human – the spokesperson for the National Council of the Judiciary continued.

Budka on Banaś: I Still Maintain It's a Setup
I still maintain that this is a setup. After all, it's convenient for PiS to have a person at the head of the Supreme Audit Office about whom there are such doubts. Someone who will not be involved in controlling, for example, the spending of funds from the Justice Fund in a clandestine manner – said Borys Budka in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

08:05

Budka:

In this contest with Duda, the only person who has a chance to defeat him is Kidawa-Błońska

- I have signed up and have not hidden it from the very beginning for Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. I value Jacek Jaśkowiak, he is a good local government official. However, it seems to me that in this contest with Andrzej Duda, the only person who has a chance to defeat him is Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska - said Borys Budka in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".


08:09

Mitera on Juszczyszyn: I Wouldn't Recall the Delegation. That's My Personal Opinion
- Judge [Juszczyszyn] doesn't need defending. The judge is certainly a courageous man, which he has demonstrated here, but forgive my expression, this isn't a kind of bravery, but rather fulfilling his duties - stated Maciej Mitera in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation." - Regarding the suspension, I won't comment, it raises certain doubts. But I'm saying, that's the president's decision. I always express the hope that whether it's the president or any judge, they know what they are doing. I won't comment. As for recalling the delegation - if you ask me again, I wouldn't recall the delegation, but that's my personal opinion - added the KRS spokesperson.

08:27

Sawicki:

Shaped as an artist in the TVN environment, and now he's called a candidate of the Catholic Church. It's like mixing fire and water. If someone other than Kosiniak reaches the second round, 80% of the PSL electorate will likely support Duda.
- He was shaped as an artist in the TVN environment, and today it's being said that he is a candidate of the Catholic Church. It's like mixing fire and water. Perhaps we should stick with the proven Kosiniak-Kamysz. Perhaps if Mr. Jaśkowiak and Zandberg run, they are equally strong candidates as Kosiniak, and each has a chance to reach the second round, but this also means that if they gather 15-20% each, the incumbent president will certainly not win in the second round. If someone other than Kosiniak-Kamysz is in the second round, then likely 80% of the PSL electorate will support President Duda – said Marek Sawicki on Krzysztof Ziemiec's show, "Kwadrans polityczny" on TVP 1.

08:47

Wojciechowski:

I Represent the Entire EU and Will Fight to Improve the Situation of All Farmers

- I represent the entire EU and will fight to improve the situation of all farmers in the EU, so that it is worth being a farmer in Europe and in Poland. This will primarily be a fight for a common budget for agricultural policy. The current demands are not sufficient to achieve these ambitious goals of agricultural policy, which is why my great task will be to fight for the best possible budget. This will be the main point of my activity. The point is to prevent cuts to what has already been cut – stated Janusz Wojciechowski in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program "Jedziemy".

- 15 countries are below the EU average, so this is not just a Polish problem. These are mainly Central and Eastern European countries, but also some so-called 'old Union' countries like Spain, Portugal, Sweden, or Finland. I think many countries will be interested in improving the situation of farmers – the EU Commissioner for Agriculture continued. - I think the German presidency will be a time of key decisions – he emphasized.


08:51

Wojciechowski on Cooperation with Timmermans: It's Coordination, Not Supervision
It's coordination, rather than supervision. Mr. Timmermans is responsible for the European Green Deal. I will ensure that agriculture participates in this Green Deal – stated Janusz Wojciechowski in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program "Jedziemy," when asked about his cooperation with Frans Timmermans. - Disputes within the Commission, discussions, that is natural, it's part of politics, and the EC is a political body – he continued, emphasizing that he will ensure equal standards for everyone in the EU. - Attention must be paid to the observance of all rules, by all countries – added the EU Commissioner.

08:54

Wojciechowski:

I Will Ensure Rules Are Adhered To Equally by All Countries, and I Believe This Can Be Achieved

- I will ensure that rules are adhered to on equal terms by all countries, and I believe this can be achieved. Following my conversations with President von der Leyen, I see that she is determined to act in this direction, and I think this will be a Commission that functions well and avoids unnecessary conflicts. I believe the Commission will achieve its goals through dialogue and equal treatment of all states – stated Janusz Wojciechowski in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program "Jedziemy".


09:02

Sawicki:

It's Impossible to Unite Jaśkowiak's and Zdrojewski's Views in One Party. If PO Doesn't Reform, It Will Become a Left-Wing Formation
- Perhaps Tusk was thinking that the conservative wing of PO, which isn't entirely satisfied with the leftward turn, would be interested in closer cooperation with PSL. This must be an independent choice, because it's impossible to unite Mr. Jaśkowiak's views and the views of Mr. Zdrojewski, for instance, within one formation. If there isn't some order established within PO, it's clear that Platforma, in this edition, will be a left-wing formation, and therefore these conservatives will certainly be seeking their identity - said Marek Sawicki to Krzysztof Ziemiec on TVP's 'Political Quarter Hour'.

09:04

Czarzasty on Banaś's Refusal to Resign: 'I Think It Will Be Very Difficult. The More He's Attacked, The More He'll Believe He's Innocent'

- I think that right now it will be very difficult, because the more [Marian Banaś] is attacked, the more he will believe that he is innocent. It seems to have become an internal situation at this point, or he has some documents, information that makes him feel immune to punishment. It's very possible [he has leverage] - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.


09:07

Czarzasty:

There's a way to dismiss Banaś, but it would require exposing all the dirty deeds that have occurred

- This is a fight for very important percentage points for PiS, because if PiS doesn't solve this problem, and no one will help them, let's be clear - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- We will not lend a hand to this, I don't know what Mr. Grzegorz Schetyna will do, but the Left certainly will not, because simply all this hypocrisy related to purity, justice, honesty and law has simply poured out and fallen apart. The crystal of PiS's personality, the crystal of their honesty, has cracked once again. Because there is a way to dismiss this Mr. Banaś, but it would require exposing all the dirty deeds that have occurred - the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm continued.

- And it's very simple, in accordance with the law on NIK (Supreme Audit Office). Article 17, point 3 states that someone convicted by a legally binding judgment for committing a crime can be dismissed by the Sejm - emphasized the chairman of SLD.


09:07

Sawicki on Tusk's Role: Do We Need a Patron? We Are Not Looking for Godfathers
- Donald Tusk is not yet a senior politician, so one can say that in global politics, he belongs to the middle generation. In Polish politics, we have been dealing with an offensive of the young for several decades. When Tusk started building Civic Platform, he was a young man, just as Pawlak and Kalinowski were in their thirties when they built the new PSL. Today, Kosiniak-Kamysz represents that generation. Do we need a patron? We are not looking for godfathers - said Marek Sawicki in TVP's "Political Quarter Hour".

09:10

Czarzasty:

No one will change the constitution at PiS's whim. If you make a mess, you have to clean it up yourself

- No one will change the constitution at PiS's whim. Because the constitution must be respected, not broken. Simply hands off the constitution in this matter. If you make a mess, you have to clean it up yourself - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.


09:14

Czarzasty:

We Won't Rush the Presidential Candidate Decision

- That's why our approval ratings are good, because wisdom has arrived and foolishness has departed. And that's an important matter. And I wanted to tell you one more thing, that we will not rush the decision regarding the presidential candidate, because I am observing two individuals who, so to speak, have already stepped back... they have weak traction. Yesterday, in his speech, an interview with Mr. Donald Tusk, he clearly said: he started quickly and took so many bullets in various places on his body that he decided to withdraw from this whole fight - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

Prime Minister Appoints Barbara Socha as Government Plenipotentiary for Demographic Policy

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has appointed Barbara Socha as the Government Plenipotentiary for Demographic Policy. This appointment signals a continued focus on addressing Poland's demographic challenges.

Nitras on the Banaś Case: We Want to Know the Charges and the Full Timeline of Services' Actions in the Sejm Session. If Kamiński Continues to Withhold this Knowledge from the Sejm, We Will Demand His Resignation

- We want to know the charges in the Sejm session and we want to know the full timeline of the services' and Mr. Kamiński's actions in this matter. We also want to know who knew and at what stage they knew - said Sławomir Nitras during a press conference in the Sejm.

- If this information does not appear or if it is insufficient, if Mr. Kamiński continues to withhold this knowledge from the Sejm, which appoints the President of the Supreme Audit Office (NIK), we will demand the resignation of Minister Kamiński - Nitras added.

Investigation Underway Regarding Banasi's Financial Statements, Among Other Matters

The prosecutor's office has initiated an investigation concerning various aspects, including the financial statements of the head of the Supreme Audit Office (NIK), Krzysztof Banasi. The inquiry is looking into irregularities related to Banasi's declarations and his business activities.

This development follows allegations of undeclared income and potential conflicts of interest that have surrounded the NIK president for several months. The investigation will examine whether Banasi accurately reported his assets and liabilities, and if his professional responsibilities as the head of the Supreme Audit Office were compromised.

The prosecutor's office has stated that the investigation is in its early stages and further details will be released as the inquiry progresses. The case has garnered significant public attention, given the high-profile nature of the Supreme Audit Office and its crucial role in overseeing public finances.

Krzysztof Banasi, who was appointed head of NIK in August 2019, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. He has maintained that his financial affairs are in order and that he has acted in accordance with the law.

Presidential Office Head Asked About Turkey's Stance on Blocking NATO Support for Poland: 'I Spoke with Erdogan and I Hope We Find a Good Solution'

- NATO is an alliance of almost thirty states. There are many interests and, of course, this is a vast area for discussion and negotiation. I spoke with President Erdogan yesterday and I hope we find a good solution - said President Andrzej Duda during the NATO Engages session "Defence and Deterrence for a New Era".

PMM:

Danuta Dmowska-Andrzejuk Nominated as Candidate for Minister of Sport
I present to you the candidate for the office of Minister of Sport. A decorated épée fencer, a strong and decisive woman of success, a brilliant conversationalist. It is safe to say that Danuta Dmowska-Andrzejuk, more than most, has golden hands for sport. And long may it remain so! I am pleased that we will be able to cooperate within the Council of Ministers - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced on social media.

Government Expresses Concern Over Judges Undermining Others' Status and Manipulating EU Court Ruling

- The rule of law is based on independent courts. It is impartial judges, who are subject only to the laws and the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Undermining the status of judges and the finality of their judgments strikes at the constitutional foundations of the rule of law. It leads to legal chaos in Poland. It causes concern among Poles regarding the validity of court rulings, which resolve several million cases annually - the Government Information Centre announced in a statement, informing about the government's adoption of a position on the situation in the judiciary, submitted by the Minister of Justice.

Therefore, the Council of Ministers expresses concern over the conduct of those judges who, through their public statements and actions, question the status of other judges, thereby manipulating the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union issued on November 19 this year. Appeals by some judges to others to refrain from adjudicating are an unprecedented action that infringes upon judicial independence and undermines confidence in the judiciary. The wording of Article 179 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland clearly states that the act of appointment to the office of judge is not subject to judicial review. Similar conclusions are drawn from the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The Council of Ministers holds the position that the basis of the constitutional order in Poland is and must be an independent judiciary based on impartial judges. The negation of judicial impartiality is their undertaking actions that undermine the constitutional order and fit into the context of political disputes.

Ensuring confidence in the judiciary by adopting an apolitical stance, as expressed in Article 178(3) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, is one of the most important duties of persons holding judicial office. The Council of Ministers notes with concern some events that occurred during rallies organized by the judges themselves in recent days, particularly the admission of formulating demands of a political nature or using uncensored language that does not align with the standards of public debate.

Courts must be impartial, honest, unbiased, and enjoy unquestionable authority. Poles must regain faith that they go to court for justice and do not wait for it for years. Therefore, the government's intention is to continue reforms aimed at improving the functioning of courts and rebuilding trust in them, guaranteeing judges actual independence from corporate pressure from their own environment, as well as from political pressure.

Grodzki Appoints New Head of the Senate Chancellery

Senator Tomasz Grodzki, Marshal of the Senate, has appointed a new head of the Senate Chancellery. The information was published on the official Twitter account of the Polish Senate.

The tweet, accompanied by a link to a social media post (https://twitter.com/PolskiSenat/status/1201876731738677248), confirmed the appointment. The new head of the Chancellery will be responsible for the administrative and organizational functioning of the Senate.


16:04

Budka:

The current parliamentary majority, PiS and its affiliates, bears full responsibility for this chaos and what is happening in the judiciary.
We have just heard about a bizarre resolution by the Council of Ministers concerning issues related to the judiciary. It must be emphasized that the current parliamentary majority, meaning PiS and its affiliates, bears full responsibility for this chaos and what is happening in the judiciary. Let me remind you that it was PiS that led to the situation where we have three so-called 'dubler' judges in the Constitutional Tribunal. It is PiS that is responsible for the complete politicization of the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS). It is PiS that has led to the situation where we do not have an independent prosecution service, and its structures are completely subordinate to a politician, the Minister of Justice. Let me remind you that as a result of changes pushed through by the Minister of Justice, Zbigniew Ziobro, and the Ministry of Justice, we are dealing with a KRS composed unconstitutionally, with unconstitutional regulations regarding disciplinary proceedings in the Supreme Court, and we are facing a situation where even several hundred judges in Poland may be appointed in violation of the Polish Constitution and European law. The attempt to blame Polish judges for the situation created by this government and this majority is complete hypocrisy and duplicity, because let me remind you that it was PiS that retreated like a crab from anti-European and unconstitutional changes concerning the Supreme Court. Let me remind you that it was PiS that, contrary to the Constitution, appointed 15 judges to the KRS, nominees of the current authorities. Let me remind you that it was PiS that led to the situation where the method of electing some judges of the Constitutional Tribunal is in conflict with final rulings of that tribunal. I want to emphasize once again that, in accordance with the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), Polish judges have not only the right, but above all the obligation, to examine whether judgments in Poland are issued by individuals who are independent and were chosen through a constitutional procedure – stated Borys Budka at a press briefing in the Sejm. - If this government now adopts such resolutions, it only proves that it does not understand what European law is, what a CJEU ruling is, and unfortunately, it is heading for a confrontation with EU bodies and, above all, it violates the Polish Constitution, which in Article 173 guarantees the separation of the judiciary from the executive and legislative powers – continued the head of the Civic Platform-Civic Coalition (PO-KO) club.

WKK Asked About Hołownia: It's Good for Poles If They Have an Interesting Choice
I am very happy if there will be a level playing field. Fair play. It's only good for Poles if they have an interesting choice, among various candidacies, political options, but also a candidate, I understand, from outside of politics - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' (Guest of Events) on Polsat News.

WKK on Cooperation with PO: A Moderate Center Already Exists. It's Polska Coalition

- We are separate political parties that can cooperate, for example, we cooperate in the Senate. This agreement was achieved, but we are not obligated to each other in any way. We are not in a ruling coalition today. Each has its own subjectivity - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' on Polsat News.

- A moderate center already exists. That is the Polska Coalition, and if anyone wants to support it, I warmly invite them - added the leader of PSL.

PO Seems to Have Chosen a Turn to the Left, and That's the Space Where Schetyna Wants to Build His Formation Today, Because I Don't See That Conservative Anchor There

- "Platforma seems to have chosen a turn more to the left, and I think that's the space where Grzegorz Schetyna wants to build his political formation today, because I don't really see that conservative anchor there," said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Dorota Gawryluk on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' on Polsat News.

WKK Asked About His Election Staff: "I Want to Present Some Important Things Before the Holidays"

If anyone in Poland today could call for Banaś's resignation, it should be someone with the most enduring and largest social mandate; 8.5 million people trusted the President.

- If anyone in Poland today could call for Marian Banaś, President of NIK, to resign, it should be someone possessing the most enduring and largest social mandate, because it stems from direct election, over 8.5 million people have trusted the President. He expects this call and for this matter to be treated seriously - Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń" program. 


20:24

Jackowski:

I Didn't Vote for Banaś. I Consciously Abstainded from the Vote.

- I did not vote for Mr. Chairman Marian Banaś. I abstained from that vote and did so consciously. I had doubts. But I wanted to say that nearly 300 PiS parliamentarians, in my opinion, may feel enormous discomfort because they voted in good faith for a candidate who seemed practically ideal - said Jan Maria Jackowski in an interview with Monika Olejnik on "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.

Budka:

The Prime Minister's Humiliation – A Crash Course in Reading After a Final Chance Meeting

- First and foremost, this is the Prime Minister's humiliation, because I will remind you that last weekend he said he would review this report. As it turns out, he only undertook this rapid lesson in reading when Jarosław Kaczyński and Mariusz Kamiński invited Mr. Banaś for a last-chance conversation. Only after this conversation did the Prime Minister speak - Borys Budka said in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i" (Point Over 'i').


20:32

Budka:

If Someone Pretends Banaś is Bad While Asking Him to Submit Deputy Candidates, That's the Height of Hypocrisy
- You don't collaborate with people who break the law. Meanwhile, if someone here pretends that Banaś is bad, but on the other hand asks Banaś to submit candidates for deputies, then I'm very sorry, that's the height of hypocrisy - said Borys Budka in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
