Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will participate at 9:30 AM in the ceremony to unveil a plaque dedicated to Kornel Morawiecki at Grunwaldzki Square in Wrocław.

At 11:00 AM, the President will take part in the conference "Social Service Centers – A New Quality of Social Policy". At 3:00 PM, Andrzej Duda will visit the MM Szynaka Interline factory in Nowe Miasto Lubawskie.

At 3:00 PM, the Sejm's Justice Committee will issue an opinion on the nomination of Rafał Wojciechowski for the position of Judge of the Constitutional Tribunal. Also at 3:00 PM, the Sejm's Rules and MPs' Affairs and Immunity Committee will hold the first reading of a draft resolution regarding changes to the Sejm's rules of procedure – this effectively concerns the election of a new National Electoral Commission (PKW).

- To maintain this schedule [regarding CPK], an amendment to the CPK Act will of course be necessary, and I will certainly present it this year. In 2020. Mentally, I am in 2020. We won't make any big leaps in 2019 - stated Marcin Horała in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- For now, we are sticking to the year 2027, although it is of course a world record, so sometimes records cannot be broken, but we still have a chance - he emphasized.

"PiS will certainly attempt to resolve this situation through legislation in some way. Here, they may not necessarily need the support of the opposition, especially the Senate," Krzysztof Łapiński said in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

“In my opinion, [the NIK's decision is] an absolutely unreliable attack. We are trying to defend ourselves, to clarify certain things. We disagree with these allegations. NIK concluded its inspection with a protocol many weeks ago. It was June. In July, we were presented with the post-inspection report, and then we submitted our reservations” – said Deputy Minister Michał Wójcik in an interview with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News.

„The Disciplinary Chamber will undoubtedly function. There is also a case concerning the National Council of the Judiciary and the Disciplinary Chamber pending in the Supreme Court, which will be decided. What will happen in a situation where there are two different rulings in the same court? In the Supreme Court, where a ruling was issued by a three-judge panel, it does not actually bind even other panels of the Supreme Court” - said Deputy Minister Michał Wójcik in a conversation with Wojciech Dąbrowski on Polsat News.

- We are calm. We disagree with the European Commission's remarks. However, we agree that further judicial reform is needed and we are ready to discuss it - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program "Jedziemy", when asked to comment on the words of the EU Commissioner for Justice regarding shortcomings in the rule of law in Poland.

- The annulment of general norms is within the competence of the Constitutional Tribunal. In Poland, the judicial system is not precedent-based. Each judge makes decisions independently. No one would want anarchy in the legal system, and calls for someone not to hold a judicial position have no legal basis - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Michał Rachoń on the TVP Info program "Jedziemy".

- Currently, comparative work is being conducted regarding disciplinary proceedings and the system of evaluating judges in other EU countries - he continued. - As a government, as representatives of the voters, we must ensure the balance of powers and, at the same time, the efficiency of the justice system. What Gersdorf is proposing will lead to a reduction in this efficiency - he emphasized.

- My father was always guided by a mission to spread freedom and solidarity, and these two values, intrinsically linked and inseparable, formed the quintessence of his life, the azimuth of his actions. Freedom, meaning the liberty to take risks, to experiment, to seek new solutions, for Poland, for the world, for people. And solidarity, meaning connecting people with each other, connecting nations, bringing them closer together, seeking peace, democracy, precisely through these two great values. And I am grateful to all those who remind us how deeply he cherished these two values, which are timeless, even beyond Poland, our homeland - stated Mateusz Morawiecki in Wrocław, during the ceremony of unveiling a plaque dedicated to Kornel Morawiecki.

- Kornel Morawiecki's life was a gift to Poland, a gift to the world. My father also wanted, and continues to want today, for Poland to be a gift to Poles as well - PMM continued.

"We should present a proposal that will allow us to get out of this stalemate. The situation is a deadlock. The previous president held the position despite facing prosecutorial charges. I couldn't imagine this 6-7 years ago, and yet it happened. I would prefer for the Supreme Audit Office not to be headed by Marian Banaś, for him to pursue his rights and be able to defend himself without holding this position" - said Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

"We were at the CBA with a parliamentary intervention, where we again attempted to gain access to the report on the assets of President Banaś. We were informed that a decision has not yet been made on whether it will be provided to us, however, from what we heard and from the doubts expressed by the CBA's legal department, we can assume with a high degree of probability that the answer will be negative. The legal department claims that MPs do not have access to the report because it has been handed over to the prosecution. We have not received information from there either, so we will be taking further steps" Marcelina Zawisza from The Left stated at a press conference.

„I can join the appeal of the First President of the Supreme Court and the stance that we should not lead to even greater legal chaos. What is happening in the Disciplinary Chamber, which was entirely formed by the neo-KRS, only leads to the deepening of this legal chaos. I earnestly appeal for the judges of the Disciplinary Chamber to refrain from ruling until a decision is made by the Supreme Court. I hope they will heed this appeal” – said Borys Budka, the chairman of the Civic Coalition parliamentary club, at a press conference. 

- Thank you for taking the time. I deeply believe that we will calmly and consistently build Poland as a just state, where those who commit crimes, those who engage in various kinds of wickedness, bribery, fraud, who deceive others, exploit them – that these people will be calmly, consistently, but ruthlessly punished, removed from their positions, and unjustly obtained privileges will be revoked, because this is elementary justice. I want us to reach a level where we can truly say: yes, Poland is a just, honest, democratic state, where authorities can be elected. These authorities are honest, and these authorities can also be held accountable in elections and on other principles, not that there are some authorities that no one has the right to hold accountable for anything, who are untouchable, and who were elected by who knows whom. I do not want such a Poland. I want a just and honest Poland, I want a Poland where every citizen is treated with respect and their concerns are heard. I ask you for support in striving for such a Poland and I wanted to wish you that it becomes exactly that. This will not happen overnight, but we are in a normal period, with normal parliamentary terms, capable of realizing this through honest, calm, diligent, and consistent work, consistent changes, and consistent repair of the Republic of Poland. We are all participating in this process. I ask you for support in this process - stated President Andrzej Duda - stated President Andrzej Duda in Nowe Miasto Lubawskie.

- I know the SOP commander personally, and therefore I can responsibly declare that the procedures and practices currently being introduced in the State Protection Service, I am convinced that they will eventually lead to the service operating like clockwork - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- It is a fact that some experienced drivers have left their jobs. Of course, there is no point in hiding that. They have been replaced by new ones who are trained. However, every year of work or service in such a formation, in such a position, brings experience that is extremely valuable - Dworczyk added.

- Every committee chairperson, including Ms. Biejat, should remember that such positions are not granted forever, and if someone performs, fulfills this function in a way that they are negatively assessed by other parliamentarians, they can expect to be recalled - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- In my opinion, someone else would be better suited for this position - Dworczyk added.

- Unfortunately, I already know that the opposition, to whom we proposed a solution requiring cooperation, has rejected this project. Now we must ask ourselves what the true intentions are of our colleagues from the opposition, who on one hand say the problem must be solved, and on the other hand, when we propose this solution, they wash their hands because they see their political interest in this matter not being resolved, but rather resurfacing constantly – said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program „Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

„I feel restless when I don't know what's going to happen. Yesterday morning we had a rehearsal and everything was known – what would happen, who should come out, what to say, in which direction to bow. I felt very calm on stage, and even had moments where I drifted off a bit. It was pleasant, calm, and excellently organized. I saw the emotion on the faces of the audience, the faces of my family, who were sitting nearby, in the front rows. I saw that it moved people. I had the impression that I was in an unreal world. I apologize for answering this way, but it truly didn't evoke great emotions in me. The moment I found out about the award evoked great emotions. Reading my Nobel lecture evoked more emotions in me. This was simply a ritual” – said writer and Nobel laureate in literature, Olga Tokarczuk, in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on "Fakty po Faktach" on TVN24.

„We talked [with the King of Sweden] about a multitude of matters. He is a very excellent interlocutor. Naturally, I delved into various things. Then, when I became a little bolder, I started asking him about hunting. I tried to show him the perspective from which I approach this horrible tradition. We clearly differed in our views, but I have the impression that we heard each other” – said writer and Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on „Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24.

- Unfortunately, everything indicates that a constitutional amendment would be necessary for this purpose [removing Banaś], because the constitutional guarantees for the immovability of the NIK President are very strong. This cannot be changed by an act of law. There is no agreement from the opposition, and therefore, I will state this thesis. Today, the opposition unfortunately bears responsibility for the fact that Mr. President will continue to hold this position – said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Monika Olejnik on "Kropka nad i" TVN24.

- This audit and report were ready in June. There were three post-audit recommendations. From these recommendations, suddenly 16 reports to the prosecutor's office emerged. In my assessment, I delved a bit into how this matter unfolded, I talked to people, I tried to find out, it seems there is no basis here to formulate such harsh assessments and accusations as has happened - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Monika Olejnik on "Kropka nad i" TVN24.

"I was raised in the cult of Maria Curie-Skłodowska. For me, from the very beginning, a woman has been someone strong who pursues a goal and does something important" – said writer and Nobel Prize laureate Olga Tokarczuk in a conversation with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on "Fakty po Faktach" on TVN24.

- I would strongly urge against undermining the work and service of SOP officers, because they are performing it excellently. I say this as someone who works with SOP officers on a daily basis, and I will continually appeal for respect for these officers - said Jacek Sasin in a conversation with Monika Olejnik on "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.

“I have my 5 minutes now thanks to the Nobel Prize, and then I'm closing this very extroverted part of my life and returning to my own life. To writing, to reading, to thinking. I have a book I've started, so I don't intend to just stop working. I'm also not the activist type, so I miss returning to what I do best” – said the writer, Nobel Prize laureate in Literature, Olga Tokarczuk, in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on “Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24.
