Gowin on Turczynowicz-Kieryłło in PAD's Staff: 'It's Not My Idea, Though We've Been Cooperating with the Lawyer for a Long Time'

- It's not my idea. Although we have indeed been cooperating with the lawyer for a long time. She represented not only Porozumienie, but the entire United Right camp in last year's Senate elections. She is also our party's expert on judicial reform matters. But the decision for her to head the campaign was President's own decision - said Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Stanisław Janecki on Polish Radio 24.

Budka:

There is a struggle for Kaczyński's succession

- We see that perhaps Mariusz Kamiński has had his child taken away from him, namely the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA), something he created, by handing it over to Zbigniew Ziobro, a man who destroyed the independent prosecution service and turned it into an absolutely politicized institution - stated Borys Budka in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

- There [in the ruling camp] is a struggle for Jarosław Kaczyński's succession. It is a struggle of people opposed to Morawiecki, it is the Prime Minister himself who is trying, along with Jarosław Gowin, to build his own camp somewhere, and of course the insatiable Zbigniew Ziobro, who is already dreaming of being Kaczyński's successor, President Duda in the palace - he continued.


08:00

Budka:

Let PiS Submit a Bill to Amend the NIK Act. It's a Path Without Constitutional Change to Remove Someone Facing Charges

- First and foremost, there are no proposals from PiS. There have been and are no proposals. I say this with full responsibility. Apart from the Prime Minister's verbal declarations, no papers have been put on the table. Let PiS submit a draft bill that can amend the NIK Act. This is a path without changing the Constitution, through which a person facing charges can be removed from their position. This is permissible. Suddenly, PiS is trying to pretend to be great constitutionalists, while for nearly 5 years they have been destroying individual institutions. Banaś is Kaczyński's man, Kamiński's, Prime Minister Morawiecki's, and today's attempt to shift this onto the opposition is unserious. I repeat once more: let PiS bring a solution to parliament, let Prime Minister Morawiecki state what his plan B is - stated Borys Budka in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24's "One on One".


08:00

Gowin on CBA's Actions Regarding NIK: "From the Perspective of President Duda's Campaign, It's Not a Comfortable Situation, But Services Must Act Within the Law, Not Campaign Interests"

- Attributing political motives to the CBA's actions is, in my opinion, a complete misunderstanding. From the perspective of our candidate, President Duda's, campaign, it's not a comfortable situation. However, security services cannot be guided by campaign reasons; they must act in accordance with the law. I am convinced that the CBA's actions towards Tomasz Kaczmarek and President Banaś were dictated solely by legal reasons – said Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Stanisław Janecki on Polskie Radio 24.


08:03

Budka:

PiS Tries to Pretend They Have a Plan for Banaś. They Don't. PiS is Panicked About What Evidence Banaś Collected on Their People While Head of the Tax Administration

- I am convinced that this operation around Banaś is, firstly, a panicked attempt to divert public attention from Lichocka, from that obscene gesture, but above all from the fact that instead of PLN 2 billion for oncology, these two billion will go towards propaganda. But there's a second, very important aspect. PiS is trying to pretend they have some plan for Banaś. They have no plan. PiS is panicking about what evidence Marian Banaś collected on their people when he was still the head of the tax administration. Because that's the core of it. What are they looking for? Documents regarding his asset declaration? That's a disgrace. They are looking, I am convinced, for evidence of what Banaś might have on his promoters, his until recently colleagues from PiS - stated Borys Budka in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".


08:04

Gowin:

CBA Raised Alarms Last Spring About Discrepancies in Then-Deputy Minister Banaś's Financial Declarations, But We All Saw Banaś as a Fearless Sheriff

- The question is whether the greater part of the responsibility lies with the services or with us politicians. Post factum, it turned out that the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) had already raised alarms in the spring of last year that something was not adding up in the financial declarations of the then-Deputy Minister Marian Banaś, but we all had this image of Marian Banaś as a fearless sheriff who fought VAT and fuel mafias, and so on. And indeed, he did fight them - said Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Stanisław Janecki on Polskie Radio 24.


08:10

Budka on Public Media Compensation: I See No Other Option for the President Than to Veto This Harmful Bill
I would like the president to veto this harmful bill [on compensation for public media]. Our difference from PiS is that we care about Poland, about patients, about ensuring that Polish taxpayers' money is allocated not to propaganda, but to the most important needs. Once again, I want to emphasize that the president should not hesitate for a single day longer. Today, it's about showing basic decency, after which one takes a side – either the side of those who engage in propaganda, manipulation, and hate every day, or the side of the camp of those in need. I see no other possibility for the president than to veto this harmful bill – stated Borys Budka in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

08:13

Budka on Potential Veto: We'll Call the Bluff. We Will Immediately Submit a Bill Guaranteeing These Funds Won't Go Back to PiS Media After PAD's Potential Victory

- We will immediately say: we're calling the bluff [after a potential veto of the public media compensation act]. We will immediately submit a bill to parliament that will guarantee these funds will not return to PiS media after President Duda's potential victory. Today, the guarantee that public media will not receive these 2 billion PLN is a change in the Presidential Palace, because all the evil began in the Presidential Palace in 2015, and this evil can be bid farewell to in the May elections - stated Borys Budka in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".


08:26

Fogiel on PAD's Campaign: We Don't Rule Out an Event More Focused on Programmatic Issues

- We don't rule out some event that will be more focused on programmatic issues, but of course, the President will simply talk about them during the campaign, on the Dudabus route, during meetings with Poles - said Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Katarzyna Gójska on "Sygnały dnia" on Polish Radio One.


08:26

Budka:

Tusk May Attend Convention Next Saturday, or He and Kidawa-Błońska May Devise Other Forms of Support. They're Meeting This Weekend.

- Yes, [Donald Tusk] promised that wherever he is needed, he will get involved. He is the head of the EPP, he is a member of Civic Platform. Yes, I believe he is needed in a specific format. He will be speaking with Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska this weekend. They will jointly determine the format. Yes, [they are meeting this weekend]. Perhaps next Saturday, February 29th, Donald Tusk will be present at the convention here in Warsaw, or perhaps he and Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska will devise other forms of supporting our candidate – stated Borys Budka in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".


08:40

Budka:

We Established a Political Council for the Party Leader. I Asked Highly Experienced Individuals to Support Me as Leader, Especially on Key Decisions, and Schetyna, as Former Sejm Marshal, is One of Them.

- I want to work with people who share a common vision of politics. Grzegorz Schetyna is one such person who will certainly be very active in this campaign. However, I am a person who looks to the future. We have established a political council for the party leader. I have asked individuals with extensive experience to support me as leader, particularly in making key decisions, and Grzegorz Schetyna, as a former Marshal of the Sejm, is one of the people who automatically joined this council - stated Borys Budka in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".


09:11

Szczerski:

We Can Say We Are Focused on a 'Yes' Campaign, While the Other Side is Focused on an Attack Campaign

“I think this shows a very important difference in how campaigns are conducted. The President's campaign is a positive campaign, aiming to convince people to support the program and the candidate. We can say we are focused on a 'yes' campaign, while the other side is focused on an attack campaign. Everyone voting in May should ask themselves whether they want permanent attack and conflict to prevail in Poland for the next 5 years,” said the head of the Presidential Cabinet, Minister Krzysztof Szczerski, on Radio Jedynka.


09:13

Szczerski:

We Have an Accumulation of Negative Emotions. This is the Opposition's Idea for Voter Mobilization

On one hand, we have an accumulation of negative emotions, a campaign focused on attacks. In all the messages, commentaries, and speeches of various opposition candidates, as well as the main candidate Kidawa-Błońska and her associates, there is a great deal of focus on arousing negative emotions. This is the opposition's idea for voter mobilization” - minister Krzysztof Szczerski, head of the Presidential Cabinet, said on Radio Jedynka.  


10:03

Lubnauer:

Less Money for Crucial Polish Policies, More for Less Significant Ones
Of course, I'm keeping my fingers crossed [for Prime Minister Morawiecki at the EU budget summit] for two reasons. Firstly, it concerns finances for Poles, for Poland, and these are important finances for energy transformation, for farmer subsidies, for infrastructure development. Therefore, these are things that are very important to all of us, so we will all be happy with success. At the same time, I see that he very much needs this gesture of support, because everything indicates that the losses we will incur compared to the previous EU budget perspective will be the greatest for us and Hungary - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus. - It ended in defeat and it ended in defeat. It will likely end in defeat, and this is in the sense that it is the result of initial policies where we failed to build alliances, for example, with France. Cooperation with France regarding, for instance, agricultural policy came too late, because it is known that there will be less money for this agricultural policy. Thus, there will be less money for policies that were very important to us, such as cohesion or agriculture, while there will be more for policies that are less significant from Poland's perspective. And that was a mistake - she continued.

Terlecki Ahead of Witek-Banaś Meeting: The Marshal Will Inquire About NIK's Functioning Amidst Unusual Occurrences

I think the Marshal will be interested in how NIK (Supreme Audit Office) is functioning at a time when various unusual things are happening there. Please ask the Marshal [if she will demand Marian Banaś's resignation]” - said Deputy Marshal Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

Immunity applies to individuals, not premises. This will be decided by a court or the Constitutional Tribunal. It seems to me that immunity applies to the person, not the premises” - he added.

Lubnauer:

Discussions about Modern's Finances Primarily Benefit Right-Wing Media. Petru's Calls Also Serve Them. I Won't Provide Them with More Fuel.

- I think we will leave it to the listeners to judge what happened regarding Modern's finances. We have a case in Strasbourg. I am not [frightened]. I have no doubt that what I said was the truth and only the truth. I always try to speak the truth, because from a politician's perspective, it is simply much more comfortable. Undoubtedly, the current board is always formally responsible for [debts], but when it comes to when the issues related to the loss of funds from the subsidy primarily arose, it was due to errors made in 2015. I wanted to say that at the time I wasn't even a member of Modern - stated Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- Above all, I know one thing. Discussions about Modern's finances primarily serve right-wing media, and I have become convinced of this previously, honestly speaking. Similarly, the calls that Ryszard Petru writes also mainly serve right-wing media. I will not provide them with any more fuel - she continued.

Sobkowiak:

In Record Time, Under 10 Days, We Gathered a Quarter Million Signatures for Kosiniak-Kamysz's Candidacy

- I am pleased to inform you that as the first committee, in a record time of less than 10 days, we have gathered a quarter million signatures for Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz's candidacy for president. I would like to thank everyone who participated in this signature drive from this very spot - said Magdalena Sobkowiak during a briefing before the National Electoral Commission (PKW).


12:59

Witek after meeting with Banaś: Speaker of the Sejm can only intervene when the personal inviolability of the NIK President is violated or when an arrest or detention occurs. This situation did not happen.
- I have analyzed all the documents related to this matter, which also pertain to what I, as the Speaker of the Sejm, can do. So, ladies and gentlemen, in accordance with the Constitution, as well as the Act on the Supreme Audit Office and the Act on the performance of the mandate of a Member of Parliament and Senator, the Speaker of the Sejm can only intervene when the personal inviolability of a Member of Parliament or the President of the NIK is violated, because it is the same formal immunity, or when an arrest or detention occurs. Such a situation did not happen, and therefore, as the Speaker of the Sejm, I could not intervene in any way - said Speaker Elżbieta Witek after a meeting with the President of the NIK, Marian Banaś. - I told the President and the Vice-Presidents that this matter, including the search, has no, absolutely no connection with the Supreme Audit Office - added the Speaker.

13:05

Witek After Meeting with Banaś: The Neumann Doctrine Does Not Apply Here, and No One Will Be Protected If They Break the Law

- On the one hand, NIK has the right to audit all subordinate institutions, and on the other hand, the doctrine of Mr. Neumann does not apply here, and no one will be protected if they break the law. So far, no charges have been filed. For now, the proceedings are solely regarding the matter. I told the President and the Vice-Presidents that I would ensure the immunity is respected if anyone tries to violate it. But in my opinion, and also the opinion of the Sejm Analysis Bureau, after I urgently requested their opinion following the first letter from the President, the BAS opinion, dated today, indicates that the constitution has not been violated, meaning that formal immunity does not protect places or premises, but only a natural person - said Marshal Elżbieta Witek after a meeting with the President of NIK, Marian Banaś.


13:10

Witek after meeting with Banaś: The President agreed with me that he will use his right to appeal, but also to file an appropriate motion with the Constitutional Tribunal

- President Banaś was concerned about the way the audit was conducted, but he agreed with me that he will exercise this right, which I mentioned, the right to appeal, because anyone who feels wronged has the right to do so, but also to file an appropriate motion with the Constitutional Tribunal, because every citizen concerned about the violation of law, if they believe so, can also seek an interpretation from the CT - said Marshal Elżbieta Witek after meeting with NIK President Marian Banaś.

Fogiel:

Szłapka Suggested Łowicz Hospital Has Issues with its Pediatric Ward, Claiming it Faces Closure. This is Fake News
Our press conference is dedicated to information that emerged yesterday, following a visit to Łowicz. The Dudabus stopped in Łowicz, among other places. The President met with residents. We saw very emotional scenes from this visit online and in the media, an enthusiastic reception. A few visitors were not so enthusiastic. Unfortunately, Mrs. Kidawa-Błońska's campaign team did not miss the opportunity yesterday to present information that is untrue, fake news. The spokesperson for the Marshal's campaign, Adam Szłapka, suggested that the hospital in Łowicz has a problem with its pediatric ward, which is supposedly under threat of closure. This is an absolute falsehood – stated Radosław Fogiel, Deputy Spokesperson for PiS, at a press conference.

PM in Brussels: Our Economy Overtakes the UK, and the Republic is Now Germany's Sixth Largest Trading Partner

- During a break from difficult negotiations in Brussels, I have wonderful news for you! Poland is becoming a driving force for the entire European economy! Even our largest economic partner – Germany – admits this. German trade with Poland and the other Visegrád Group countries – the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia – has increased over the past year to over 300 billion euros! Poland's share alone is estimated at over 123.4 billion euros – an increase of 4.2% year-on-year. Thanks to this, our economy has overtaken Great Britain, and the Republic is now the sixth largest trading partner of the Federal Republic of Germany. All of this was achieved primarily thanks to the incredible diligence and creativity of Poles! I am proud of our achievements – they motivate me to work even harder at today's summit and in the coming months – wrote Mateusz Morawiecki in his Facebook post.

Mastalerek:

The President Understands Poland and Poles Deeply, He Has Them in His Heart. If He Shows Himself as He Truly Is, He Will Achieve a Good Result, and That Will Be the Key to Victory

- The President understands above all Poland and Poles deeply, he has them in his heart, and I think that if he shows himself as he truly is, he will achieve a good result, and that will be the key to victory - stated Marcin Mastalerek in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.


19:37

Mastalerek:

The End of the Parliamentary Campaign, the Last Three Weeks, Was Truly Fatal for PiS. There Was No Idea. I'm Posing the Thesis That Two More Weeks and PiS Would Have Lost Its Majority.

- Poles understand far less than politicians or journalists imagine, and I'm looking a bit more broadly. The end of this parliamentary campaign, those last three weeks, were truly fatal for PiS. There was no idea there. I'm posing the thesis that two more weeks and PiS would have lost its majority. If this campaign had lasted another week or two, PiS wouldn't have had a majority in the Sejm. Please look at the Senate. If the rules from the Senate, as Paweł Kukiz wanted, single-member districts, were in effect in the Sejm, PiS wouldn't be ruling today - stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".


19:41

Mastalerek:

If after the parliamentary elections, PiS had maintained PAD's outstretched hand and PMM's normality, we would now be wondering if the President would win in the first round.

- There was a very good moment after the parliamentary elections, where the President [Duda] came to the first Sejm session and appealed for a hand of reconciliation, went down and shook hands with all the party leaders. Mateusz Morawiecki gave a speech, an expose on normality. Things were going well. And suddenly, it's the start of the campaign again, it was the ruling camp who knew when this campaign would be. It's simply poor - stated Marcin Mastalerek in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

- If PiS had conducted the end of the campaign well, then with everything they did for Poles, they could have achieved 50%. 50% was realistic in the parliamentary elections. And this campaign, especially the end, was bad. And if after the parliamentary elections [PiS] had maintained President Duda's outstretched hand and Prime Minister Morawiecki's normality, we would now be in this studio wondering whether the President would win in the first round or not - he continued.


19:46

Mucha:

PiS Always Campaigns on Fighting 'Arrangements,' But Ends Up Investigating Themselves

- The situation [regarding Banaś] increasingly reminds me of the end of the PiS government from 2005-2007. Let's recall that PiS always comes to power under the banner of fighting some 'arrangements,' and at the end of their rule, they end up fighting an 'arrangement' within themselves - Joanna Mucha said in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


19:48

Mucha:

Banaś is currently using NIK to secure his protection

- Marian Banaś is currently using NIK to secure his protection and ensure his continued functioning, rather than for the Polish state to control its own institutions - said Joanna Mucha in a conversation with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


19:51

Mastalerek:

The Day After PiS Convention, Not a Word on Major Horizontal Portals

- Today, the key is whether the ruling camp will draw conclusions or not. Regarding the convention, I think it's worth referring to the 2015 convention, because I understand it was meant to have similar results. Back then, Andrzej Duda's big convention in February was necessary for several reasons. PiS had suffered seven defeats, and there was a need for faith and hope. To show an American style, so that people, engaged volunteers, but also people, would believe that victory was possible. And that's why the convention was on such a grand scale, and it gave hope. I wonder why such a convention is being organized today, why a million zlotys are being spent on it, because for the last 5 years everyone has known that PiS, the ruling camp, knows how to organize such conventions. Surely, I think the money could have been spent better, because such conventions are needed by Robert Biedroń when he launches his project, or by Ryszard Petru when he did his at Torwar, or indeed back in 2015. However, I always wanted to be a footballer, I even trained, and often it happens that spectators watch a match and wonder why the coach isn't substituting that player, and he had some assumptions that the player was fulfilling, but people don't know about those assumptions. So perhaps there were some secret assumptions and this convention fulfilled them, but seriously speaking, the day after this convention, on the largest horizontal portals, there was not a word mentioned about this convention - stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".

Gdula:

Banaś was vetted by ABW. There's a long questionnaire where an intelligent high school student could spot irregularities. This didn't happen, so Kaczyński was deceived by his own people.

- Banaś was vetted. He was vetted by the ABW. There is a really long questionnaire, based on which an intelligent high school student could determine that there are some irregularities. This did not happen, so President Kaczyński was deceived by his own people when it comes to reviewing the assets of Marian Banaś - said Maciej Gdula in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


19:59

Mastalerek:

I Don't Understand How Such Timing Can Be Chosen, Debating 2 Billion in a Controversial Matter the Week the Campaign Begins
It is obvious that this topic [1.95 billion for public media] will appear in the main election debate. I don't believe that an opponent will not bring up this behavior. Regarding the compensation, if it has been known for a very long time when the elections will be held, then I don't understand how such timing can be chosen, debating 2 billion in a rather controversial matter the week the campaign begins. One could prepare for all of this - stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

20:04

Mucha on Changing the Head of the CBA: The Change Was Made When Morawiecki Was Leaving for the EU Summit, Meaning He Couldn't React. Ziobro is Making a Lichocka Gesture to His Own Prime Minister

- At what time, at what moment was this change made. Well, it was when Prime Minister Morawiecki was leaving for the EU summit, that is, when he could not react in any way, he was too busy to carry out any reaction in the country. So, additionally, Ziobro is making a Lichocka gesture to his own prime minister – said Joanna Mucha in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


20:04

Mastalerek:

Either the ruling camp wakes up or stops imitating the 2015 campaign, or things could get complicated

- Do you know why I'm saying this? Because there's still a lot of time until the election. And either the ruling camp wakes up or stops imitating, copying the 2015 campaign, or things could get complicated, because the president has served his office very well and this needs to be shown in the election campaign. You can't just copy - stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".


20:08

Mastalerek:

Those who set up cameras or microphones in 2015 came to believe they could run election campaigns and were strategists

- Today, I think that people who were setting up cameras or microphones in 2015 came to believe that they could run election campaigns and that they were strategists. They probably believed they were doing that back then, in 2015, but I also see early signs. There is Adam Bielan, he is a person with great knowledge. A new face in politics [campaign manager] is always interesting and worth giving a chance - stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

The President Has His Achievements, Significant Presidential Achievements. Poles Are Proud of Him. He Meets President Trump, Melania Trump, and Together with Agata Duda, They Look Like a Million Dollars
The President has his achievements, significant presidential achievements. Poles are proud of him. He meets President Trump, Melania Trump, and together with Agata Duda, they look like a million dollars. The President has achievements regarding the UN Security Council, regarding NATO bases, meaning everything that a president in Poland deals with, and I see that the campaign staff or the support are doing everything to make it a referendum – are you for PiS or not, are you for healthcare or not – stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".
