The Joint Commission of the Government and Local Government will commence its session at 10:00 AM. At 11:00 AM, a meeting of the team for the professional status of education employees, with the participation of Minister Dariusz Piontkowski, will take place at the Ministry of National Education headquarters.

– I will be at the meeting [with the President]. Yes, Stanisław Tyszka and I will be there. We requested this meeting; we applied for it. One must persistently pursue it if one has good intentions, if one wants to block a bad law, and we will urge the President to veto this law [disciplining judges], presenting arguments. Also, ideas stemming from the round table, for instance, on judicial reform. Halting the chaos first, because this is a rescue operation. Two actions need to be carried out, to put it medically. First, a rescue operation; we need to save the patient whose health and life are in a dire state. And the repair of the National Council of the Judiciary. Because where does the problem lie? In the appointment of judges, the uncertainty of whether they are properly appointed. This is what the Supreme Court is talking about – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".

- Here, the Supreme Court reached out to the executive branch, including the president and the government, saying that until January 23rd, even the judgments of judges about whom there are doubts are valid, and they will not further adjudicate criminal cases. Let's quickly fix the situation by adopting a new KRS Act. We agree that there is chaos, but if we don't change the KRS Act, there will be no further certainty, and these cases will continue to be questioned. Therefore, this [judge disciplinary] act changes nothing - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- We will certainly compete with each other. I have no intention of tripping up opposition candidates, nor the PiS candidate, because that's not the point. We haven't had any such talks [regarding an electoral pact, an arrangement of opposition presidential candidates], I don't think... I will be in the second round, so I will encourage everyone to support me in the second round. [I'm building this conviction] on dozens of meetings, hundreds or thousands already, on the enthusiasm I feel, on the belief that we can win, that for the first time in 15 years the stakes are leveling for the opposition, that there isn't such a strong party. Previously, two parties dominated presidential elections for 15 years, and today Civic Platform is not as strong a formation as it was even 5 or 10 years ago - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- I'm assuming I'll reach the second round and fight Andrzej Duda, and I'm the only one with a chance to win against him in the second round - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- It is worth considering [a referendum on partnership unions]. Because if there were three questions, and even Paweł Kukiz himself mentioned during the campaign, in a referendum, 'Are you for partnership unions, for marriage, and for adoption of children by homosexual couples?' then for the first one, a majority would probably answer yes, for the second, no, [and for the third] no - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

"This is another signal that the Union does not want to be treated merely as a piggy bank for money, but as a community of values. If some countries need to be reminded of this, then it should be reminded based on evidence-based research. Facts and evidence must be gathered" - said Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki in an interview with Piotr Kraśko on Radio TOK FM's 'Poranek'.

- The Commissioner [Jourová] had meetings, she met with people. Her schedule was a bit strange, somewhat selective. There wasn't enough time to meet with, for example, KRS judges, judges of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court, so her schedule was a bit odd. There was a desire from their side for a meeting, for discussions, but from the communiqués following the meetings, it appears the talks were quite fruitful. This visit is on the basis that the Commissioner arrives in Poland with the purpose not entirely clear, because if she truly wants to discuss the justice system and how it looks in Poland and Europe, the EU, she should take a holistic view. As Minister Ziobro conveyed yesterday during his meeting with the Commissioner, he proposed that we can, of course, reach a compromise with the EU, with the European Commission, and implement solutions one-to-one that are adopted in the justice system, for example, in Germany. This was somewhat in the nature of a joke. Those are a heavens-better disciplinary measures, if we are to use such a word concerning judges, than those we proposed in the bill that is currently on the President's desk. So, we will see what the effect of the Commissioner's visit will be. I hope she didn't just talk, but also listened to what both Marshal Witek and Minister Ziobro had to say - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski on Poranek Siódma9.

"According to my informal, behind-the-scenes signals, they [the ruling party] realize they've gone one bridge too far and are trying to skillfully withdraw. The proposed compromise that Commissioner Jourova heard, which wasn't a compromise at all, is a bit amusing. This indicates they have absolutely no idea how serious European and global politics are conducted," said Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki in an interview with Piotr Kraśko on TOK FM Radio's Morning show.

- I am unpleasantly surprised by the situation that occurred yesterday in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, where Polish parliamentarians voted shoulder-to-shoulder with Russian representatives in the assembly for a resolution against Poland, stating that the rule of law is being violated in Poland. This is sheer schizophrenia, if a Russian representative, a parliamentarian, speaks about it, and additionally, a Polish parliamentarian, Mr. Śmiszek, was the author of an amendment that includes Poland under monitoring. Of course, these are insignificant resolutions, in reality, they express the stance of the council, the parliamentary assembly. I will emphasize one more thing: the assembly has 638 members, meaning 318 representatives of parliaments and 318 deputies, and 140 voted for the resolution. There were probably around 40 against, meaning even half of the assembly members were not present for the vote. This also underscores the significance of this resolution, it diminishes its importance. But what is more surprising to me is the significant involvement in this, unfortunately, of Polish parliamentarians – stated Krzysztof Sobolewski on Poranek Siódma9.

- Much is being said by the opposition that could suggest they want a Polexit, because they keep talking about Polexit. It's not us talking about it, it's the opposition all the time. Now they are saying that linking European funds to the rule of law, which I understand to mean they want to take money away from Poland, contributing to Poland not receiving European funds. Are they for this? I can directly ask Marshal Grodzki if he is for this, because I don't hear these voices directly from Brussels, from the European Commission, but I do hear them from Polish representatives, which in turn I can infer that they are discussing this with their friends from the EPP, perhaps they want to introduce such a principle, perhaps they are for it, like Mr. Śmiszek, they will create it, they will submit such an amendment, so that it applies and only hits Poland. The spirit of Targowica lingers on and is present, as can be seen - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski on Poranek Siódma9.

This is the creation of a legal monster. Poland has until now been a certain model when it comes to European countries. Today, the system created by PiS is creating a kind of legal monster, which leads to the fact that none of us, nor any of the viewers, can be certain that a verdict was final and unshakeable. They will not be able to be certain of the stability of the law – said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program “Jedziemy”. The question is how it is pieced together and what is taken. One can take various solutions from different countries and completely distort their meaning – the PO politician emphasized.

“The Treaties clearly state that European funds can only be withdrawn from a state that does not adhere to macroeconomic parameters imposed by the EC, or from a state that mismanages those funds. Poland, in terms of expenditure, is absolutely at the forefront. Scaremongering. I am absolutely [convinced]” – said PiS MEP Adam Bielan in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News. 

“The fact that there are Poles who want to punish the Polish state by withholding European funds shows the aberration we're dealing with on the opposition's side. Any withholding of European funds from us is not a withholding of funds from the government, but from the country” – said PiS MEP Adam Bielan in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News. 

"I hope nothing like [vetoing the disciplinary bill] happens. We will present our point of view. The president probably considered, and you'd have to ask him, that he should hear the opinions of the caucuses that requested a meeting with the president. The president has the right to talk to all citizens, including the opposition. It's obvious" - said Deputy Marshal Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

“We don't really see the need [to participate in the round table organized by the Polish Academy of Sciences]. The decisions have been made. The reform plan is being implemented. Discussion makes little sense today,” said Deputy Marshal Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

„I will cooperate normally with a government that has been elected in the elections. If they do foolish things, like they are doing today with the judiciary, I will block them. If they bring good, useful bills that will help citizens, then of course, I will sign them. I don't have an attitude of „no, just because” - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, leader of the Polish People's Party (PSL) and the party's presidential candidate, in a conversation with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's „Sedno Sprawy” (The Heart of the Matter). 

A hearing has been scheduled for February 25th at 12:00 PM – at the request of the Marshal of the Sejm – concerning the competence dispute between the Sejm and the Supreme Court, and between the President and the Supreme Court. The Constitutional Tribunal will consider the case with its full bench. The presiding judge of the adjudicating panel will be TK President Julia Przyłębska, and the rapporteur will be TK judge Krystyna Pawłowicz.

- The Constitutional Tribunal has suspended the application, from the date of its issuance, of the resolution of the combined Civil, Criminal, and Labour and Social Security Chambers of the Supreme Court of January 23, 2020 - reads the TK's ruling published in Monitor Polski.

In particular, this means that 1) the application of Article 439 § 1 point 2 of the Act of June 6, 1997 – Code of Criminal Procedure and Article 379 point 4 of the Act of November 17, 1964 – Code of Civil Procedure, as interpreted in the aforementioned resolution, is inadmissible; 2) the competence to adjudicate by a judge appointed to office by the President of the Republic of Poland upon the motion of the National Council of the Judiciary formed in accordance with the Act referred to in point I.1, in the procedure regulated by that Act, cannot be restricted; 3) judgments issued by adjudicating panels composed of judges indicated in point 2, have binding force.

Furthermore, the TK has decided to suspend the Supreme Court's competence to issue resolutions, if they were to concern compliance with national and international law, as well as the case law of international courts, regarding: 1) the formation of the National Council of the Judiciary based on the Act of May 12, 2011 on the National Council of the Judiciary and Article 187 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, 2) the procedure for presenting candidacies to the President of the Republic of Poland for the position of judge, regulated by the Act referred to in point 1 and Article 179 in conjunction with Article 144 § 3 point 17 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, 3) the exercise of the prerogative of the President of the Republic of Poland to appoint judges in accordance with the Act referred to in point 1 and Article 179 in conjunction with Article 144 § 3 point 17 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, 4) the competence to hold the office of judge by a person appointed by the President of the Republic of Poland upon the motion of the National Council of the Judiciary formed on the basis of the Act referred to in point 1, in accordance with the provisions of that Act and Article 179 in conjunction with Article 144 § 3 point 17 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland.

„Congratulations on the victory, an excellent result, a good campaign, and engagement. I want to thank everyone who was involved in this election. I want to thank Borys for these 4 years of hard work, as well as the national board and all the voters of Civic Platform over the past years. It wasn't an easy time. The party I took over 4 years ago was in a worse state than it is today” - said the former leader of Civic Platform, Grzegorz Schetyna, at a press conference.

„I'm not going anywhere. I'm not retiring from politics. I will support Borys Budka. I will support Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, her campaign, her activities in the coming months. I will do everything I can to protect this fragile majority in the Senate, because it is important for the entire opposition, for Polish democracy” - he added.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki met with U.S. Ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher. The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral relations and cooperation between Poland and the United States. Key topics discussed included defense, energy security, and economic partnerships. Both sides expressed their commitment to continued collaboration and advancing shared interests. The meeting underscored the robust strategic alliance between the two nations.

“I would like to appeal once again to everyone who has voted for PO at least once in the last 19 years, appeal to all those who once trusted us, and then perhaps, as a result of certain setbacks, stopped trusting us. Together, we can win the next elections. Dear KO voters, dear PO voters, for all of us, the most important goal is the presidential elections. The degradation of Poland began in the Presidential Palace. The repair of Poland will also begin in the Presidential Palace” – said PO chairman Borys Budka at a press conference.

„I have the impression that sometimes the Constitutional Tribunal and its judges forget that there is no legal possibility to halt a resolution that has the force of a legal principle. The Constitutional Tribunal examines the compliance of legal acts with the constitution. If anyone thinks that Ms. Pawłowicz, Mr. Piotrowicz, or Ms. Przyłębska have the power to halt Supreme Court resolutions, they haven't read the Polish constitution. There is a lack of legal grounds for action in this matter. There is no dispute of competence between the Sejm and the Supreme Court. This is clearly an example of how PiS is trying to exploit the Constitutional Tribunal for its own politics” - said the Civic Platform leader Borys Budka at a press conference.

- The Constitutional Tribunal's decisions are not surprising. It's easy to predict what they will be. Perhaps the time will come for some official stance on the content of this ruling, on how the Supreme Court will behave in this situation. Perhaps such a stance will have to be taken by the court itself, not its spokesperson. I can say at this moment, based on my feelings, that this ruling [by the CT] aims to prevent the enforcement of the three-chamber resolution [of the Supreme Court], and thus to prevent the enforcement of the CJEU ruling. If so, this is contrary to European law. It cannot be the case that any national tribunal or court blocks the enforcement of a ruling issued by the Luxembourg court. From the perspective of the principle of primacy of European law, which we accepted upon joining the EU, and the enforcement of the CJEU ruling, as this procedure adopted by the Supreme Court is a consequence of a ruling by the Luxembourg tribunal, one can also adopt the position that this ruling in no way obliges the Supreme Court or ordinary courts to take an official stance, because it simply cannot be effective in this context, but these are preliminary considerations for now. There is no official stance yet. It is unknown if and when it will be - stated Michał Laskowski at a press briefing.

NSZZ "Solidarity" is the most important social organization ever established in the history of the Republic – said President Andrzej Duda, who met with members of the National Commission of NSZZ "Solidarity" at the Presidential Palace on the occasion of the union's 40th anniversary.

It is an organization of a peaceful nature, fulfilling those grassroots, incredibly important social needs, starting with the need for freedom – emphasized PAD. During the ceremony, a minute of silence was observed for all deceased members of the union.

„This is a very important fact [the Constitutional Tribunal's decision], similar to yesterday's ruling by the Supreme Administrative Court, which did not share the view expressed by three chambers of the Supreme Court. In its justification for dismissing the motion related to one party's initiative to recuse an NSA judge, it dismissed the motion, indicating that there were no grounds for such a judge not to adjudicate as an impartial and independent judge. The most significant, because it is general in nature and binding throughout the common judiciary, is the ruling issued by the Constitutional Tribunal ex officio” - said Minister Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.

„This is an important fact in the face of attempts to create a certain chaos and muddle, legal anarchy in the Polish judiciary, given the differing opinions expressed by various state bodies and representatives of state institutions regarding the new legal situation that was supposed to occur, or according to others speaking out, did not cause or did not result in legal consequences due to the adoption of this resolution by the three chambers” - he added. 

„I would like to draw attention, within the scope of discussions taking place around the judiciary, that until the competence dispute is resolved by the Constitutional Tribunal, this resolution of the three chambers of the Supreme Court cannot have any consequences, which clearly follows from the Constitutional Tribunal's decision” – said Minister Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.

- The President should talk to the opposition every day. Not only in exceptional situations, at the end of his term, to notice that there is an opposition in Poland, that there are people who want to solve problems together. Today, if the president wants to solve problems together that the opposition did not cause, then first, veto the gag law. That's where the president should start, and that would be the beginning of joint problem solving. First, a veto, and then talks. Because it was not the opposition that led to the violation of the Constitution, it was not the opposition that created the gag law, it was not the opposition that destroyed the separation of powers in Poland. We want the law in Poland to be good and function, but it needs to be put in order, and the first element is to veto a bad law - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a briefing in Zgierz.

- Today, another leg of our tour across Poland. We are traveling and talking with non-governmental organizations, because these are very important organizations taking on the burden of many, many serious tasks. Today we will visit a place where a wonderful hospice and an animal shelter will be built. We will talk with people who are creating this civil and local government Poland. In these times, these organizations are taking on the burden of tasks that the state does not necessarily perform well. In Poland, in an aging society, there are still too few places where seriously ill people can receive good care. Most of them were created thanks to the determination of non-governmental organizations, people who saw the need to create such places. These are very important places, and I am glad that one of the most modern and best-prepared facilities is being built here, and I hope that soon the first patients will be able to be admitted there. They will receive good, professional care and support at this difficult moment in their lives - said the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm.

“Various interpretational doubts have arisen concerning my statement yesterday about the compromise proposal I presented to Commissioner Jourová. I would like to assure you that such a proposal was indeed made. There is an exact stenographic record of the conversation we had, extremely precise, with the Commissioner. I made such a proposal that if the Commission wished to engage in resolving the dispute in Poland, then as the Minister of Justice, I see a possibility of finding a good solution that should be satisfactory for all parties, because no one can question the compatibility with European law of such a solution, namely the adoption of the German model for appointing judges” - stated Minister Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.

- In Poland, our Constitution is binding, and solutions adopted in Germany are not compatible with the Polish Constitution. If we are creating law in Poland, we must do so in a way that is consistent with the Polish Constitution and EU law. And this is a trick by Minister Ziobro, because his proposals will neither solve the problem of the destruction of the separation of powers in Poland, nor are they actually consistent with the Constitution. We need to start with respect for the Constitution - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a briefing in Zgierz.

- Of course, I have spoken [with Borys Budka], and I have spoken several times already. Our expectations are shared: that the entire Civic Platform will engage in the campaign, and talking with my colleagues, I feel there is a desire for the campaign to start quickly and strongly. So, we are just waiting for information from Marshal Witek on when the campaign will begin, from when we will be able to conduct an election campaign, because we are waiting. There is less and less time. I am counting on, at the latest, February 6th, which is the deadline, for us to be able to fully start the campaign. Borys Budka has a very strong mandate from Civic Platform, which also assures us that we will work very well together. In the coming days, [we will learn about the campaign manager]. First, the election date, but I must assure you that our campaign team is complete. Everything is ready - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a briefing in Zgierz.

"Where was Judge Jerzy Stępień before? He was the Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Interior and Administration until 1999 in Jerzy Buzek's government. In the same year, he was elected directly from the deputy minister position to the Constitutional Tribunal. Where was Judge Leon Kieres before? He previously held the mandate of a Civic Platform councillor four times. He was also a PO senator twice and was subsequently elected to the Constitutional Tribunal immediately after ceasing his political functions. Where was Judge Adam Jamróz? Judge Jamróz was a Member of Parliament, Secretary of State in the Ministry of National Education and Sport, and in the same year he ceased to be a deputy minister and a Member of Parliament in 2003, he was elected a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal, just like Judge Janusz Niemcewicz, a Member of Parliament for the Freedom Union. Such examples can be multiplied," Deputy Minister Marcin Warchoł stated at a press conference.

On January 29, 2020, President Andrzej Duda held a meeting at the Namiestnikowski Palace with representatives of parliamentary clubs and circles. The meeting, announced by the official Twitter account of the President of the Republic of Poland (@prezydentpl), was part of ongoing consultations regarding the political situation in the country.

The discussions at the Namiestnikowski Palace, the official seat of the President of Poland, are a customary practice for the head of state to engage with various political actors. This particular meeting aimed to foster dialogue and understanding among different parliamentary factions, particularly in the context of the prevailing political climate.

The specific agenda and outcomes of the meeting were not detailed in the initial announcement, but such consultations often revolve around key legislative proposals, current governmental challenges, or significant national issues. The presence of representatives from all major parliamentary clubs and circles underscores the President's commitment to inclusive political dialogue and seeking consensus where possible.

The tweet from @prezydentpl, accompanied by the hashtag #PrezydentRP, served as a brief notification of the event, highlighting the President's active engagement in the political life of the nation. These meetings are crucial for the functioning of a parliamentary democracy, allowing for direct communication between the executive branch and the legislative bodies.

- In our opinion, the President is very convinced of these changes. He did not say whether he would sign it, but based on his statements, based on his defense of this law and his hundred percent conviction that these changes are necessary, we can infer, and I emphasize these are our feelings, that he will sign this law and thus deepen the chaos - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz after meeting with President Andrzej Duda.

- There was little interest from the President in a supra-political, broad agreement on the judiciary. It seems that a veto is not a decision the president is currently capable of making - added the leader of PSL.

- For the President, there is no doubt that, in accordance with the Polish constitution, Article 7, all public authorities act based on and within the limits of the law. The President also pointed out that the Supreme Court, and all other constitutional bodies and public authorities operating in the Republic of Poland, are bound by this principle. The President also very clearly drew attention to the need for reforms in the justice system, a postulate frequently put to him in national meetings. Here, the President spoke about this, and this point was also repeated by you members of parliament, that they too agree with such a postulate. I think I can say without any exaggeration that probably all sides of this meeting were convinced of the need for justice reform. However, in the detailed discussion, different positions were presented by the parliamentary clubs regarding the specific issues of this bill - said Paweł Mucha after the President's meeting with representatives of parliamentary clubs and a parliamentary circle.

Borys Budka, leader of the Civic Platform (PO), stated after his meeting with President Andrzej Duda (PAD) that there were "no constructive agreements whatsoever." He added that, in his opinion, the President had already made his decision, and the arguments presented by Duda were a repetition of Zbigniew Ziobro's narrative.

The tweet, which links to a Twitter post by Budka, further elaborates on the encounter:

Bez jakichkolwiek konstruktywnych ustaleń. Wg mnie PAD już podjął decyzję. Argumenty, którymi się posługiwał, były powtórzeniem narracji Ziobry. pic.twitter.com/Jk7V0W1tW0

"I am not retiring. I am not going anywhere. The end of a certain chapter. After 4 years, I am leaving Civic Platform. We are talking [about my place in PO] because it needs to be arranged in a completely new way. Every leader marks a new stage, a new idea, a concept for collaborators, people from my closest circle" - said former Civic Platform leader Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

"This is a matter of wisdom of the stage. Politicians mature. [Budka] stated that he is ready. He received such support. This means that Civic Platform, the people, trust him and he has 4 years to prove it. I received over 91% and I had 4 years to do what I intended to do" - said former PO leader Grzegorz Schetyna in a conversation with Dorota Gawryluk on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

„The party that rejuvenated very rapidly was the SLD, and it ended up from over forty percent to three to four percent. To all those who say that rejuvenation and new staff are needed, I say ‘be cautious’. We need calm and patience in transformation” - said former Civic Platform (PO) leader Grzegorz Schetyna in a conversation with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News's „Gość Wydarzeń” (Guest of Events).

„I believe that yes [the president will sign], that in a frenzy, a campaign of flexing muscles and confrontation, proving that he will sign. This is not good. This is a bad scenario that fits into the campaign, the party's presidential campaign and the conflict that will return” - said former PO chairman Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

– I believe this decision is unlawful, firstly because the Constitutional Tribunal cannot encroach upon matters reserved for the Supreme Court. Secondly, what kind of one-person ruling is this by the President, Ms. Przyłębska, and finally, the third point. I remember Mr. Zbigniew Ziobro, who is likely an authority for PiS, stating something on January 11, 2016: every law student knows that the Constitutional Tribunal has no right to deal with resolutions – said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

„If we now consider this resolution of the Supreme Court and today’s decision of the Constitutional Tribunal, the Supreme Court, in this resolution, has de facto suspended the application of part of a law in force in Poland, which it has no right to do, nor any shadow of authority in the constitution or the Act on the Supreme Court” – said Marcin Horała in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Wydarzenia i Opinie” on Polsat News.

- The era of cheap wages is over. The point is that the GDP, which is growing in our country, should also have a positive impact on the average Pole. Let's share this earned profit, because this profit is earned by everyone. Those who think about economic growth, employers and employees - said Piotr Duda in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

- Today, we also discussed with the President that we are entering this year with another important document that has been amended in the Sejm, specifically amendments to the Minimum Wage Act. The training allowance will no longer be included in the minimum wage. This is very important. In 2017, we excluded the bonus for night work, and in 2021, we will strive, as "Solidarity", to exclude the last remaining bonus, which is for hazardous and dangerous work. After all, it is a bonus for difficult and dangerous work, and it should not be included in the minimum wage - said Piotr Duda in an interview with Michał Adamczyk on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

- We went to a meeting with the President to confirm our opinion on the situation in the judiciary. In our opinion, the law must be obeyed, the Constitution must be obeyed, and the group most obligated to do so is the judiciary - wrote Ryszard Terlecki on Twitter after the meeting with President Andrzej Duda.
