- Absolutely [I see a consequence regarding Vladimir Putin's words]. It's a consequence of many years, especially concerning President Duda, because in recent – one could say – weeks or months, we had, for instance, a grand, important speech on September 1st, highly praised, even by opposition leaders. That also touched upon historical matters and mentioned Stalin's fatal role. That [reaction] was gradual. First, there was a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then the Russian ambassador was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there was a statement from Deputy Prime Minister Gowin, followed by a statement from Prime Minister Morawiecki. This battle – it seems to me, looking at the world press reactions in the past few days – I believe we have won. However, let's remember that the most important clash awaits us this year, likely at the turn of January and February, in connection with the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp - stated Adam Bielan in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I can say that directly after the holidays, on December 27th, President Andrzej Duda convened a meeting at the Presidential Palace, with experts, but also politicians, and then decisions were made regarding the timing of various statements. The president was in Warsaw, he nominated a new member of the Monetary Policy Council, and then a multi-hour meeting took place at the Presidential Palace - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".

Bielan:
We Assume Russian Actions Are Spread Out Over Time. We Will Have One Climax, Likely Towards the End of January
- A lot of ill will would have been needed to interpret it that way. This Christmas and New Year period primarily concerns Russian politicians, who go quiet at this time and do not speak to the media, which might be good from our perspective in the context of this battle for historical politics. Secondly, President Duda began to act on this matter directly after Christmas, meaning on December 27th. And thirdly, as I said, we assume that Russian actions are spread out over time. We will have one climax, likely towards the end of January - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

Bielan:
Pawłowicz Announced She Would Leave Twitter Several Times. I Think Those Tweets Were Inappropriate
- Last year, an active CDU politician was nominated to the Constitutional Court in Germany. In Poland, in the 1990s, MPs, for example from the Freedom Union, also ended up in the Constitutional Court. I will not comment on the Twitter activity of Professor, MP [Krystyna Pawłowicz]. She has also announced several times that she would withdraw from Twitter. I think those tweets [about Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska] were inappropriate - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I continue to promise that these [electricity price] hikes will not be felt by individual consumers, by families. Because, as I announced, we are preparing legislation to compensate for this increase in energy prices. As for the concept, it was prepared last year, but we are currently finalizing the details - stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.
- Within a few weeks, I believe it [the legislation] will reach parliament. We are talking about compensations, which means something that will be implemented after the year-end settlement. It's not like we have some legislative emergency right now. This law needs to be well-prepared because it will be a settlement for many millions of consumers, so we need to be logistically well-prepared for it - emphasized the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State Assets.

Brudziński:
I believe media professionals won't let this go; the issue will be explained from the ground up, and then PO will have to back down. Grodzki must resign.
- As the classic says, it's an obvious obviousness [the need for Tomasz Grodzki's resignation] - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program "Jedziemy".
- The majority is not the majority of PO. These are also votes from PSL senators. The question for Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, also a doctor by the way, is what he thinks about it. The question for Włodzimierz Czarzasty and representatives of the left, who also very often talk about the need to clear the bad atmosphere in the doctor-patient relationship - Brudziński continued.
- I believe media professionals won't let this go; the issue will be explained from the ground up, and then PO will have to back down because behind all of this will be citizens, people demanding the truth. Grodzki must resign - emphasized the PiS MEP.
08:48
Brudziński:
Grodzki's Resignation is, to quote a classic, an Obvious Obviousness for the Vast Majority of Poles
- What the scenario will be in the case of Grodzki's resignation, that remains to be seen. We will discuss this matter, but the fact that Grodzki should resign is, to quote a classic once more, an obvious obviousness for the vast majority of Poles - stated Joachim Brudziński in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program "Jedziemy".

Miller:
The Lack of a Candidate Means Staying at the Starting Blocks While Others Have Long Since Begun the Race
- The name of the left-wing presidential candidate was supposed to be known by mid-December, then by the end. Meanwhile, it's January and we only have unconfirmed speculations about Mr. Śmiszek. It seems to me that this is related to solidifying the message that since the Left obtained over 12% in the parliamentary elections, now the Left's presidential candidate must achieve more, otherwise it will be said that the Left is in decline. Consequently, no one wants to take a risk, because probably few expect that the Left's candidate can exceed these 12%. I think that's why neither Zandberg nor Biedroń want to take up the challenge - Leszek Miller wrote on Facebook.
- However, the lack of a candidate means staying at the starting blocks while others have long since begun the race - the former prime minister emphasized.

Tomczyk:
We Decided to Prepare a Notification of Suspected Criminal Offense by PFN Board Members
- We are here today in connection with the financial report of the National Heritage Institute of Poland for 2018. Today, information circulated in the media about how PFN's money was spent, and it's a truly terrible picture that shows money being spent irresponsibly, that millions of zlotys are being spent non-transparently, that millions of zlotys are leaking somewhere to foreign companies, that no one knows the purpose of PFN's activities, but also no one knows the effects of PFN's activities. Today, it can be boldly said that PFN has turned into a national shame. PFN, which was supposed to promote Polish interests abroad, today brings disgrace to the Republic of Poland. Today, not only Poles and Europeans are talking about PFN, but also the media worldwide, because no one has yet invented a vehicle that would cost taxpayers over PLN 100 million and at the same time completely miss the goals it was supposed to achieve. We all remember Prime Minister Szydło, who said that Poland would be proud of PFN. Madam Prime Minister Szydło, Poland is not proud of PFN. We are ashamed that such a foundation exists in Poland. Today, this is also a test for Prime Minister Morawiecki, and we appeal for the immediate liquidation of PFN, which does not fulfill its goals, which spends money unreasonably and improperly, which brings Poland disgrace and shame. Today, we have decided to prepare a notification of suspected criminal offense by members of the PFN board in connection with Article 296 of the Penal Code, i.e., causing significant financial damage - stated Cezary Tomczyk at a briefing in the Sejm.
12:41
- I would like to remind you that 2018 was a year of local elections. We do not have the report for 2019, and PFN will likely do everything to ensure we do not see it for a very long time. We will demand to be informed about the expenses for 2019 sooner than the end of 2020 - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer at a briefing in the Sejm.

Nowacka:
PiS is destroying not only Riad Haidar but the healthcare system. They've ruined institutions, courts, education, and are now ruining healthcare.
- A few days ago, we received information that was outrageous, and outrageous in several dimensions. Both politically and on a purely human level. By a decision of the hospital director in Biała Podlaska, who is associated with PiS, the head of the hospital department, Civic Coalition MP Riad Haidar, was dismissed. Haidar is the head of the neonatology department, he has been the head of this department for 30 years. He has saved thousands of children. I was in his hospital a few years ago, I witnessed the great love he has for his work, his patients, their parents, but also the reciprocity that flowed towards him, how important he was to the children he saved, how wonderfully he built the hospital, how respected he was among the staff. He was the director, he was the head of the department until essentially the end of this year. For political reasons, his contract as head of department was not extended, with the claim that he wouldn't cope. Riad was coping, he was also a member of the regional assembly for over two terms, a member of the city council, and all along an excellent, outstanding doctor and a good man. At this moment, PiS is destroying not only him personally, but also the healthcare system and such an important department as neonatology for the entire region in Biała Podlaska. By taking away a good doctor, they are simply causing harm. Harm to children and parents. They are causing this harm for purely political motives. They've ruined institutions, courts, education, and are ruining the healthcare system. And now, precisely to show that if you're not with them, they will destroy, they are destroying both the doctor and the entire local community - stated Barbara Nowacka at a briefing in the Sejm.

Sikorski:
If Poland Had a Truly Proportional System, Without D'Hondt, PiS Would Have 199 MPs Today and Couldn't Demolish the Judiciary or Target the Media
- I will vote for Kidawa-Błońska [in this year's presidential election]. The incumbent president always has some advantage, some edge. Bronisław Komorowski also had one, and we remember how it ended. The campaign team is already working, I am talking with Kidawa-Błońska's politicians and strategists. Please be patient a little longer, and the campaign will begin - Radosław Sikorski stated in an interview with Anita Werner on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
- Please remember that if Poland had a truly proportional system, without D'Hondt, PiS would have 199 MPs today and couldn't demolish the judiciary or target you, the media. So the Senate is not enough, because it only has a delaying role, but the president should be an organ that moderates some of the ruling party's revolutionary ideas. This president is not, and it seems to me that the collective wisdom of Poles should prompt them to restore a safeguard in the system - the former Minister of Foreign Affairs continued.
19:54
- These [presidential elections] are primarily a matter of being or not being for Polish democracy, because as President Kaczyński said, they want to take the last strongholds in the judiciary right now, for example. And then we will have a system where the government will never lose again, and democracy is precisely a system where the government can lose - stated Radosław Sikorski in an interview with Anita Werner on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

I am surprised the court found Piotrowicz guilty based on a lawsuit from two specifically named judges, when their names were not mentioned in the statement. It was, however, a general statement.
– I am surprised by the fact that the court found Judge Piotrowicz guilty based on a civil lawsuit filed by two specifically named judges, when their names were not mentioned in the judge’s statement. I am curious as to the basis on which the court concluded that precisely this duo was offended by Mr. Piotrowicz. It was, however, a general statement – Radosław Fogiel said in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.

I have the impression, especially concerning the trip to Brussels, that the Marshal is trying to create a separate foreign policy center within the Senate.
- If the Marshal believes that external bodies should have the decisive or at least significant voice regarding Polish law, that is his opinion. However, I have a certain impression, especially concerning this trip to Brussels, that the Marshal is trying to create a separate foreign policy center within the Senate - said Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Wydarzenia i Opinie" (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

Borys:
The President, Likely on Vacation Today, Didn't Intervene Strongly or Consult the Opposition on Matters Like President Putin's Attack
- I was surprised that the President, who is likely on vacation today, didn't intervene strongly or consult the opposition on matters like President Putin's attack - said Piotr Borys in an interview with Danuta Holecka on TVP Info's program "Gość Wiadomości".
20:34
- In the language of diplomacy, a response one level down is also a very clear signal. I will repeat once again. Elevating this matter, this statement, to the highest level would be playing into Russia's scenario. This is precisely what Russians expected from us, and they miscalculated. And that's very good. We executed a masterstroke - said Marcin Horała in an interview with Danuta Holecka on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.
