Following recent fumbles with attendance by both PiS, which was losing votes, and the opposition, whose MPs were either mistaken or absent with reduced turnout on the ruling side, only two PiS MPs were absent from the chamber (Wawrzyk, Szumowski - likely due to government travel), three KO MPs (Lenz, Mucha, Mrzygłodzka), three PSL-Kukiz MPs (Tyszka, Sawicki, Bejda), one from Confederation (Bosak), and one from the German Minority (Galla).
Across the entire Sejm, only one MP abstained from voting - Paweł Kukiz.

Mariusz Kamiński, President Lech Kaczyński, and Chairman Jarosław Kaczyński – They Were Labeled as Crackpots, but Today We Know They Cured Us of the Cancer of Corruption
„From 1993 onwards, such an environment was created by the Republican League, of which Mariusz Kamiński was one of the leaders. This environment, of course, was built by the later president, then head of NIK, and even earlier, vice-chairman of ‘Solidarity’, Mr. President Lech Kaczyński, and the chairman of PC, Jarosław Kaczyński. You know this. You don’t need to delve deeply into history books. These individuals were labeled as crackpots, as people who didn’t understand the principles of the modern economy. Today we know, today even people from your side of the political spectrum admit, that we rid ourselves of the cancer of corruption thanks to these people” – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during a parliamentary debate.

"It is with regret that I read in your program that you want to abolish the Central Anticorruption Bureau. What do you want to establish? The Central Corruption Bureau?" - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said during a Sejm debate.

Under the Cover of Night, You're Introducing Two New Taxes. On Small Alcohol Bottles and Drinks. The Goal is to Take 3 Billion PLN from Poles. This is a Lobbyist Law, Beer Won't Be Subject to This Tax.
After a break, the Sejm resumed its session on the act concerning pro-health consumer choices. The session was taken over by Deputy Marshal Gosiewska.
- Under the cover of night, you're introducing two new taxes. On small alcohol bottles and on drinks. The goal is to take 3 billion zlotys from Poles, not a word about health or obesity - said Civic Platform MP Jarosław Urbaniak: - In the justification itself, you assume that sugar consumption will remain at the same level. This is a lobbyist law, beer will not be subject to this tax, nor will sugary yogurts. This is the result of your social consultations.

The Sejm, on the last day of its session, will resume its proceedings at 9:00 with a block of votes. Today, MPs will adopt the budget bill, which in practice means this block will last several hours – first until 11:30, when a break will be announced, and then from 13:00 until 19:00. Additionally, a bill concerning the introduction of the so-called sugar tax will be voted on.
At 7:30 in Warsaw, volunteers from Kosiniak's team and campaign chief Magdalena Sobkowiak will collect signatures for the presidential candidate's support lists.
At 11:40 in Warsaw, Bartosz Arłukowicz will hold a conference to present the billboard and campaign slogan for Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. At 12:00, the campaign staff and election slogan for Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz will be presented.
At 19:45 in Jelenia Góra, a press conference will be held by Robert Biedroń along with Małgorzata Szmajdzińska, Robert Obaz, and Marek Dyduch, preceding a Charity Ball organized by the Jerzy Szmajdziński Foundation.
Furthermore, the majority of the provisions of the law disciplining judges, referred to by the opposition as the gag law or repressive law, will enter into force today.

Sobolewski:
Convention to be preceded by PiS Political Council meeting, sole agenda item a resolution recommending President Duda's candidacy
- Everything will be clear tomorrow. We start at noon, and the convention will be preceded by a meeting of the PiS Political Council, whose sole agenda item will be a resolution recommending the candidacy of President [Duda] - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski in an interview with Katarzyna Gójska on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.
- It will not be [the presentation of the election staff] tomorrow. I can say that. The PiS staff, in this case for the presidential candidate President Andrzej Duda, has been functioning since the autumn/summer of 2018. It is a team that dealt with local, European Parliament, and parliamentary elections. So, a permanent campaign, for almost two years now, has resulted in such a team, one could say, being transformed into a staff once the official election campaign began; it has been functioning for two years. There are no surprises or novelties here. Simply, such a team is constantly working - continued the Chairman of the PiS Executive Committee.
07:38
Sobolewski:
There Will Be Another Major Convention for the Presidential Candidate
- I lean more towards the second version [presentation and summary at tomorrow's PiS convention]. There will be time for details later. There will definitely be another major convention for the presidential candidate. One more. In due course - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski in an interview with Katarzyna Gójska on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.

- Of course, it did. Ms. Lichocka showed that finger. Ms. Lichocka, primarily as she was leaving the podium, it is very clearly visible on the video how she behaves, what her facial expression is, how she smiles with such contempt and arrogance at us, at the opposition - stated Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.
08:27
Scheuring-Wielgus:
PiS Fears Any Opinion Other Than Their Own, Dictated by Kaczyński, and Wanted to Show Their Might
- This stems primarily from the fact that PiS fears any opinion other than the one they express, which is, as it were, recommended to them by Jarosław Kaczyński. But they also wanted to show their strength, to demonstrate, 'We will show you who is right here, and we will show you that you are nobody' - stated Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.
08:30
Scheuring-Wielgus:
Lichocka's Explanation is Worse Than What She Did. Because She Buried Herself With It
- In general, the explanation of MP Lichocka is worse than what she did. Because she buried herself with it. If she had gone to the podium and simply apologized, I think everyone would have understood, because when an MP apologizes for their reprehensible behavior, I also think it makes an impression - stated Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.
08:32
Scheuring-Wielgus:
If Lichocka had even a shred of honor, she would resign from her parliamentary mandate entirely
- I think that if Mrs. Lichocka had even a shred of honor, she would resign from her parliamentary mandate entirely. Yes, Madam Editor. You know perfectly well that politicians in Poland are described as idlers, the least liked people precisely because of such behavior, and she showed the middle finger to all of them, not only to the opposition in the chamber, to the opposition's voters, but also to those for whom we wanted to allocate this money, these 2 billion – stated Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet.

I Did Nothing Wrong. I Didn't Make Any Vulgar Gesture, But My Movement Was Used to Portray It That Way. The Scale of the Hate Campaign Impressed Me
- I did nothing wrong. I didn't make any vulgar gesture, but my movement was used to portray it that way. Indeed, the scale of this hate campaign that we are now seeing on social media, I must admit, impressed me - stated Joanna Lichocka in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

“As it stands, we see that they [the President and the Prime Minister] themselves cannot agree on who will go where, and hence this friction on the president-prime minister line. If I receive such an invitation from the President or the Prime Minister, I will represent the Civic Platform at all ceremonies, because unfortunately, for the last 4 years, it has been completely forgotten to commemorate this sad anniversary concerning Polish Katyn in a dignified manner,” said PO Chairman Borys Budka in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on Radio Trójka.

Budka:
Lichocka Gave the Middle Finger to All Poles Who Think Differently from Her. This is the True Face of This Government
"I think the more people hear this translation [by Lichocka], the more even her supporters will understand… This is not showing the middle finger to us. The Member of Parliament will not offend us. MP Lichocka showed this middle finger to all Poles who think differently from her. This is the true face of this government" - said the Civic Platform (PO) leader Borys Budka in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on Radio Trójka.

Budka:
I respect the office of the President, but I have no respect for a man who breaks the constitution
„I respect the office of the President, but I have no respect for a man who breaks the constitution and fits into a very bad scenario of destroying Poland, which this government has been pursuing for 4 years. I have no respect for a president who, against the constitution, does not appoint three properly elected judges [of the Constitutional Tribunal]” – stated PO (Civic Platform) leader Borys Budka in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on Polskie Radio Program 3.

Arłukowicz Presents Kidawa-Błońska's Campaign Poster:
A Real President, a Certain Future.
- We stand at the beginning of the most important election campaign in 30 years, a campaign that will define our future, the future of our families, our children. A campaign that will decide the future of Poland and Europe. We are entering a very difficult fight. I appeal to all Poles, we want to instill optimism in you. Impossible things can also be done, and they can be achieved. We must believe that the campaign will be victorious. We want to present a narrative, our motto, which will carry us through the streets of cities and towns across Poland on our journey. We will traverse Poland from north to south, and east to west. We want to show you the theme of our narrative, what we want to discuss with Poles in the coming weeks - said Bartosz Arłukowicz at a press briefing.
12:24
Arłukowicz:
The Symbol of Our Campaign Will Be a Hand Extended to Poles, Not an Accusing Finger
- We have presented our slogan - Poland needs a real president. Poland needs a president whose boss is Poles, not a president whose boss is Jarosław Kaczyński. Poland is drowning in chaos today. If we look at our schools, hospitals, courts. Poland also needs a certain future. That's why today we are embarking on this grand campaign journey with Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. A journey directed at people of goodwill. We will conduct this campaign with people of goodwill and we will run a campaign for people who wish Poland well. The symbol of our campaign will be a hand extended to Poles, not an accusing finger. We want to traverse Poland far and wide, we want to convince the younger and older, girls and boys, women and men, grandmothers and grandfathers to change Poland. We need change in Poland today - said Bartosz Arłukowicz at a press briefing.

Lichocka:
I Haven't Changed My Mind. I Didn't Make Any Offensive Gesture. It Was Manipulated by the Hate Industry Orchestrated by PO
„I haven't changed my mind. I didn't make any offensive gesture. It was manipulated by Civic Platform. This hate industry orchestrated by Civic Platform is astonishing. The scale of manipulation, lies, and context changes is simply shocking. But I will repeat once again: yesterday I did not make any vulgar gesture. There were no such intentions” - Joanna Lichocka from PiS told journalists in the Sejm.

Lichocka:
As public opinion can be misled, I wish to apologize to all who felt offended and express my regret

- I have very unpleasant memories from 2015, and at the same time, I have a certain reproach towards myself. I did not foresee that something like this could happen in an organized manner. I connect this with decisions made within my opponent's campaign team, where decisions were made to hire internet companies that conducted organized, consistent hate campaigns, slandering me and my family, fabricating a whole series of situations, and promoting a false image. Unfortunately, they were effective – said Bronisław Komorowski in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on "Fakty po faktach" TVN24.

- It is solely a fragment of the election campaign. But it is also evidence that President Andrzej Duda's campaign team is probably simply afraid that they might fall victim to the weapons they used against me in 2015. He who sows the wind reaps the storm. After five years, the president who won, not only but also through organized hate campaigns, has himself confirmed that the invoices published by Gazeta Wyborcza for those specific companies were indeed genuine invoices - said Bronisław Komorowski in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).
19:58
- When it comes to Ms. Lichocka, there are still some limits to boorishness in politics and parliament. It turns out that straw from shoes might show for many people, but sometimes it's the MP's slippers that emerge - said Bronisław Komorowski in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

Czarnecki:
The Matter is Clear. MP Lichocka Apologized, and That's Good
- The matter, I think, is clear. MP Lichocka apologized, and that's good. Such situations should not happen. It creates an opportunity for various interpretations; it's better not to create such situations. The apology is a fact - said Ryszard Czarnecki in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on "Fakty po faktach" on TVN24.
20:31
- This was intended, as I understand it, as a gesture of triumph by Ms. Lichocka. There's no denying it, you have a majority in parliament, and you use this majority in a manner that is sometimes less than decent. In a sense, this gesture rhymed with how PiS very often utilizes its Sejm majority - said Adrian Zandberg in a conversation with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
20:35
Zandberg:
Morawiecki is Obsessed with Proving His Budget Balances, Ignoring Health and Public Service Crises
- Mr. Morawiecki is obsessed with proving that his ledger's 'debit' and 'credit' sides add up. However, there is no economic or social reason to cling to this obsession with a balanced budget when we are facing such a profound crisis in healthcare and public services - said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
