At 10:30 AM, a conference titled "Law on the Retirement Benefits of Officers. Assessment of Effects, Possibilities for Change" will be held in the Senate.

At 12:00 PM, the Senate's Budget and Public Finance Committee will consider two bills that the Sejm passed a few days ago. These include an amendment to the Retail Sales Tax Act – concerning the re-suspension of its application – and an amendment to this year's budget-related law. The proponents are keen to have the laws come into effect on January 1st in the first case, and in the second case – on the day following their announcement, but still within this year.

At 6:00 PM in Poznań, an author's meeting will be held with the former President of the European Council, and currently President of the EPP, Donald Tusk.

- Based on the President's recent statements, it appears he assumes the direction of this legislative correction is positive. However, if serious representatives of concerned parties, genuinely concerned and not just politically agitated, wished to utilize the President's mediatory potential, I believe the President would be open to it - stated Andrzej Zybertowicz in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I have the impression that something bad has happened to a part of the opposition and some judges who seem to be playing along with the opposition. In simple terms, it's the 'cutting off my nose to spite my face' syndrome. But when a judge 'freezes their ears' with a certain style of ruling, they are, in a way, freezing all of our ears. One judge questioning the right of other judges to rule. This is unleashing a wave of structural chaos in the entire rule of law system, of which all Poles, businessmen, and citizens who go to court for inheritance, property, or other matters, could become victims - he added.

- I know about this situation from media reports, I'm talking about the meeting between the President and Mr. Jan Śpiewak. Perhaps Mr. Śpiewak will be able to count on an act of grace from the President. This is another example of how we talk today about incomprehensible court rulings - said Michał Dworczyk in a conversation with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- As far as I can tell, the efficiency of the judiciary has not increased. And the question now is whether it hasn't increased because there are structural errors in the reform points, or whether it hasn't increased due to a go-slow. After all, the judges themselves said that we must implement [the reforms] - stated Andrzej Zybertowicz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I have one regret concerning the Ministry of Justice. In my opinion, a white paper should have been compiled documenting those actions by judges and the judiciary that justify carrying out the reform, as well as certain oversight procedures - he continued.

If today, after a meeting with the Family Council, the Prime Minister decides that the government will take over this project, that we will begin work on this project, then I will invite representatives of all parliamentary clubs to the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, so that we can consider this project together, above party lines - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti" program.

- I would prefer PiS to have less controversial figures [than Stanisław Piotrowicz]. But it turns out that Mr. Piotrowicz has been around for a long time; I remember he is not someone who appeared with PiS overnight for a career. I remember he was the deputy coordinator minister during the first PiS era - stated Andrzej Zybertowicz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- This is a complex law, over a hundred changes in various legal acts. I think we will see the draft this week - said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- I said that households would not pay more, which is the same as saying there will be no price hike, and I stand by that. However, we have prepared certain legal solutions, which I will discuss once we have clarity on the URE's verdict. At that point, I will also talk about the legal solutions. These could also include compensation for consumers - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Interview".

"I had the impression at the election convention that people conducted a SWOT analysis – strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats – and calculated that Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska would be a better candidate in the format of the country's president. Firstly, she has been in politics for years. She was a government spokesperson, has been Deputy Marshal of the Sejm for years, was Marshal of the Sejm, she is a woman. The question is whether Poland is ready for a female president. In my opinion, it should be. She has the ability to easily connect with people" – said the Marshal of the Senate, Tomasz Grodzki, in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- This bill is absolutely necessary in the situation into which some judges, who want to be more politicians than judges, have driven us today. It is necessary, which means I will vote for it - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Conversation".

“President Duda truly has reasons to be worried, especially with strong candidates emerging in other political formations,” stated Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

"A change in the functioning of all party structures, including the leader, should occur, which would give the greatest chance of winning the presidential and parliamentary elections," said Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

“We discussed this at the convention. The timing [of Donald Tusk’s book signing at Agora] was such that getting home on a Saturday evening is harder because fewer planes fly. I drove 4.5 hours to Szczecin because there are no evening flights to Szczecin. I was invited [to the book signing], but getting home was problematic,” said Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

- Poland was the focus of this summit on this matter. It was Poland that led to solutions which, on the one hand, allowed us to avoid a major political crisis that the absence of any decision during the COP25 summit in Madrid would have represented. We have a decision; the EU, all these states that are ready today... In Madrid, yes [no decision], but not in Brussels. Normally, with this degree and level of diverging opinions, a political crisis should have occurred - stated Konrad Szymański in a conversation with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka Political Salon".

- We managed to avoid a political crisis, and Prime Minister Morawiecki contributed significantly to this - he added.

- I was invited by the President to the Presidential Palace. It wasn't a long meeting, just before the President's departure for a meeting in the Ardennes. We discussed my legal situation and the Warsaw reprivatization. The President said a few words about what was happening in Krakow, where a reprivatization mafia is also active. And we discussed this matter from Friday. He spoke about his experiences regarding reprivatization in Warsaw. I presented my legal situation; he was quite moved by the verdict and what is happening with my cases before the Warsaw courts - stated Jan Śpiewak in an interview with Marek Kacprzak on the WP program "Tłit".

- I will submit a pardon request to President Andrzej Duda. Such a request will most likely be submitted by me this week. The President said that he would consider such a request as soon as it arrives - he added, emphasizing that he will also be submitting cassation appeals to the Commissioner for Human Rights and the Prosecutor General.

Dariusz Joński, a representative of the Polska Inicjatywa (Polish Initiative), announced on Twitter that his party has presented 10 postulates to the Sejm, which they wish to discuss with Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. He further stated that their support for her candidacy for Marshal hinges on the results of these discussions.

The tweet, dated December 14, 2019, links to a Twitter post where Joński himself outlines these demands. While the specific content of the 10 postulates is not detailed in the provided text, the statement clearly indicates a conditional support for Kidawa-Błońska's political aspirations, placing significant emphasis on the dialogue and potential agreement with Polska Inicjatywa.

This announcement suggests a strategic move by Polska Inicjatywa to leverage their influence by setting clear conditions for their backing. The mention of Kidawa-Błońska, a prominent figure within Polish politics, points towards significant negotiations regarding the political landscape and potential coalition-building or policy alignment.

We want to address a topic today that many non-governmental organizations have previously highlighted. It is the issue of children and youth accessing pornography, and here are a few preliminary remarks on this subject. Various voices are being raised on this matter, but perhaps let's start with some fundamental statements, with statistics, and certain dangers that are undoubtedly linked to this very dangerous phenomenon. Firstly, we know that children as young as 12, 13, and 14 years old are increasingly encountering pornography, and this trend is growing. Studies based on a very accurate sample show that between the ages of 13 and 16, a growing number of boys, even around 60%, and girls, over 20%, also encounter pornography. This is an activity that certainly disrupts emotional functions, distorts the perception of sexuality, leads to very serious emotional deficits, and poses future threats to the mental health of today's young people, and later adults. Just as we protect children and youth from alcohol, and just as we prohibit drugs, so too should we rigorously verify access to pornographic content and materials with full severity - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during a meeting of the Family Council. We must be able to introduce mechanisms that effectively block access to this content and verify the age of the person accessing various materials. We must impose strict requirements on enterprises, companies, and entities that provide pornography. These requirements must fully verify accessibility according to age categories - PMM added.

- We had a very interesting, great, warm meeting in the Senate. And I am very grateful for the invitation. And thank you very much - stated Olga Tokarczuk after her meeting with the Marshal of the Senate, Tomasz Grodzki.

"We are having very intensive discussions today, among other things, about the rivalry between the Third Republic camp and PiS, the United Right camp, in the context of the upcoming presidential elections. We have PO's candidate, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, who has represented the Platform's structures in Warsaw for years. In my assessment, if someone were to try to compare the difference between the rule of the United Right and PO, the easiest way to do it is by observing how the Platform governs in places where it holds power. One such place is the capital city of Warsaw. I remember during the election campaign, when PO structures, led by the mayor, we showed years of neglect regarding waste management, we said it would end in catastrophe, that there would be price increases, and they responded that it was PiS nonsense. We are a few dozen hours after the city council session, which, together with the mayor, approved rates for waste collection in the capital city that are nearly 300% higher, and in extreme cases, 600% higher. And they say it's PiS's fault. The question needs to be asked: did Civic Platform lie to the citizens?" - said PiS MEP Patryk Jaki at a press conference in the Sejm.

- For any reaction from the head of state to occur, a proper request is needed. If a request is filed in this matter [for the pardon of Jan Śpiewak], the case will certainly be thoroughly examined. It is, in a sense, shocking, because one could say, in broad simplification, that a person who fought for justice, or at least acted with the conviction that he was fighting for justice in this very shocking matter of Warsaw's tenement houses, is convicted in a process, and a criminal one at that, so the situation is specific, but like any case, it requires thorough examination. If an appropriate request is submitted to me, it will certainly be thoroughly examined - stated President Andrzej Duda in a conversation with journalists.

As I have said many times - if even some of the accusations leveled against President Mariusz Banas in the media prove to be true, then I have no doubt that someone who has committed such actions cannot hold the position of president of such a very important institution as the Supreme Audit Office. Of course, the matter is very difficult. It concerns constitutional issues, but also very important state matters. Therefore, in this situation, I appeal to President Banas, also to a certain common sense and a sense of responsibility for state affairs” – said President Andrzej Duda.

„First and foremost, let's begin with the fact that these are solutions which, at least part of these solutions, because I understand that if you're talking about some kind of disciplining, first and foremost, let's begin with the fact that the rule in democratic countries is that judges do not comment on political matters and do not get involved in politics, and this is a norm that is primarily observed in Western European countries. Judges do not participate in current politics precisely so that later, when they adjudicate cases touching upon politics, there are no doubts that they stand on any of the political sides. This is necessary so that judges, also in the eyes of society, can maintain what is so very important, namely impartiality and the societal perception that they are impartial in the matters they adjudicate, thanks to which there is later also the possibility of building in society the perception that the verdicts issued by courts, i.e., by judges, are just verdicts. Such a system must finally be introduced in Poland” – said President Andrzej Duda.

„As we can see, especially in recent months or years, things are very bad in this regard here, and when we talk about the political impartiality of judges, then, unfortunately, in Poland, this is a situation that requires very deep analysis and very deep repair. I lament this. Regulations that will clearly and explicitly define in this regard what judges should not do and how they should not act, and how they should not express themselves, and what they should not do, are – as seen over the past few years – very much needed in Poland, and they exist in the legislation of other countries. I see nothing wrong with introducing similar regulations as in other countries. Of course, they cannot concern the adjudication by judges and the assessment of certain factual situations and the interpretation of legal provisions that judges make, but issues where judges manifestly, evidently, and premeditatedly act contra legem, then this matter is certainly very debatable” – he added. 

„It was to be expected that the European Commission would scrutinize the repressive law. If this law is enacted, Polish courts will become a remotely controlled toy in the hands of PiS members. European institutions truly see perfectly that the current government's actions are demolishing the foundations of an independent judiciary, and in return, PiS is building us a completely politicized judiciary. This is a complete negation of the principles that underpin the European Union. The European Commission and other EU institutions will not be fooled by slogans claiming that such solutions exist in France or Germany. The overall picture of the changes PiS has introduced to the court system in Poland is simply dramatic. If PiS does not halt its frontal assault, it will mean pushing Poland to the margins of the European Union, and in the future, simply leading Poland out of the EU” - said Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz from Civic Coalition at a press conference in the Sejm.

- I am very seriously considering running for the head of Civic Platform. I need a few more days to analyze this project. I have rather specific views on how a political party, our Civic Platform, should function. It certainly requires a greater social aspect. It must be a party that is with the people, with the communities, among ordinary people. A party that must be filled with energy, determination to win, and great responsibility for Poland. This is how I see Civic Platform, and I will make the final decision in the coming days - stated Bartosz Arłukowicz in Szczecin.

- For a long time, we have been saying that we have an outstretched hand. We appeal for a round table on the rule of law. If there is any proposal from the political class, from the ruling party, then of course we are ready to undertake talks, even today - said Krystian Markiewicz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- In this case, we are dealing with a situation where Mr. Śpiewak is dissatisfied. I understand that, I respect it. I respect him as a person, as someone who fights for important social causes, but that also doesn't mean that in these difficult, conflict situations, the court should not resolve the matter - said Krystian Markiewicz in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- Poles will discuss the justice system at the Christmas Eve table anyway, about the extraordinary political activity of a part of the judicial community, about the fact that trust in courts has been at a very low level for years, about the scandalous verdict that affected Jan Śpiewak. We have a fundamental problem with the justice system - said Deputy Minister Marcin Ociepa in Kropka nad I. - It is inadmissible anywhere in the world for judges to be politicians. A judge cannot demonstrate - said Ociepa.

- For five years you've been destroying a normal state, so don't tell us what's normal and what's not. It's like one person pouring cold water on another without being a firefighter. In a normal situation, I wouldn't pour water on anyone or anything, because I'd be crazy - said Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Michał Kamiński, on Kropka nad I.

- I am one hundred percent convinced that as long as there is a risk that some judges are taking actions against the Polish constitutional order, the legislature must act, because we must protect citizens from a situation where all rulings made over the last 30 years could be challenged through a procedure that has no basis in the Polish constitution - Sebastian Kaleta said in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

- The fact that this repressive or gagging law for judges is needed today shows that four years of efforts to subordinate the judiciary to the ruling party have failed. You have failed; the majority of judges still abide by the constitution – said Jan Grabiec in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.

- You're complaining that a person, whose leg is being ripped off alive, is shouting, and you want to steer the discussion towards the fact that it's not allowed to shout in company. Well, it's not allowed, unless someone is sawing you. People behave unconventionally because the government is unconventional. Judges have a moral obligation to uphold the Polish legal system, which is rooted in the European Union system - said Michał Kamiński in Kropka nad I.

- I am surprised by Jan Śpiewak's choice of path. It's a rather dangerous path because it seems he has been participating in this propaganda chorus for several days, justifying the need to muzzle judges - said Jan Grabiec in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" on Polsat News.

- I am certain that [the verdict] was delivered in the first instance several months ago, and I remember what Jan Śpiewak said then – that he was withdrawing from politics due to this verdict. But later, he stated that he was returning to politics. As I understand it, perhaps he has some proposals from PiS and wants to make an appearance today. He tried with the left – it didn't work out. Then he tried with Kukiz – it didn't work out. Today, he might be knocking on PiS's door. I warn Jan Śpiewak against this. It's not always worth sacrificing your life's path for popularity or for political presence - he added.
