The Sejm will address the projects included in the so-called anti-crisis shield today. MPs will resume deliberations at 12:00 PM with the first readings of three government projects. Subsequently, second readings will take place, with a break scheduled between 2:30 PM and 4:00 PM in case amendments are submitted.

A two-hour block of voting will commence at 4:00 PM. During this period, the government's proposals will be voted upon, and MPs will also deal with the budget act following its work in the Senate. The session, according to the plan, is expected to conclude at 6:00 PM.

Earlier, at 10:00 AM, Robert Biedroń will hold a press conference on the government's "anti-crisis shield."

Fitch, one of the three major rating agencies, has scheduled two potential dates for reviewing Poland's rating this year - the first is set to take place today.

- I will certainly not participate in the debate, in the discussion [in the Senate]. I will listen, if it is necessary to be there, if I have a negative result, I will observe remotely and listen to the PO senators, but I will not participate. This shows that PO politicians do not realize the threat at this moment - said Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Katarzyna Gójska in "Sygnały dnia" on Jedynka radio.

- Parliamentarians come from different places. In medical terminology, this is called "importation". Each of us senators can import the disease into the Senate, and the Senate, and perhaps yesterday the Sejm, could become a kind of Polish Wuhan - added the former Marshal of the Senate. 

- First and foremost, the ruling party cannot deceive Poles by claiming we are not dealing with an extraordinary state, as provided for by the Constitution, while simultaneously introducing restrictions which, according to constitutionalists, can only be implemented in this specific manner. We have many good regulations, they just need to be utilized. Meanwhile, what is the government proposing today in the anti-crisis shield? Besides many good solutions, often drawing from ideas we've been suggesting for weeks, there is, among other things, a proposal for a prosecutor to be able to order a 3-month arrest for a suspect without judicial review. There is a proposal to exempt public officials from criminal liability under the Penal Code if they fail to fulfill their duties or abuse their powers in the fight against the coronavirus. These are scandalous regulations. Instead of dealing with what is most important, what entrepreneurs are waiting for – exemption from social security contributions, subsidies for wages, tax deferrals, debt forgiveness from ZUS – today the Sejm will focus on regulations that Minister Ziobro is adding, which are so absurd that one doesn't even want to comment on them - stated Borys Budka on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

- The Bundestag can work, the US Senate was able to adopt legislation overnight, whereas yesterday we lost a day in parliament because of PiS. We were all gathered, we could have adopted anti-crisis solutions, adopted good solutions in the form of extending benefits, limiting social security contributions, deferring taxes, writing off part of the tax, and subsidies for wages. We lost the whole day so that PiS would have better working conditions, so they wouldn't have to come to work, so they could work remotely. I just ask, what is more important, the economic security of millions of Poles or the working comfort of a few dozen people? Let us have such an elementary sense of the great duty we have to perform as parliamentarians. Today, we should have already passed these good solutions that we are proposing. Today, we cannot divide Polish entrepreneurs into those who employ up to 9 people and those who employ more. The one employing up to 9 people will receive very simple assistance, but the one who already has 12 employees will have a stack of documents to fill out - stated Borys Budka in "Jeden na jeden" on TVN24.

- It's unbecoming [to take selfies in masks in the Sejm given the gravity of the situation], because the situation is definitely serious. But it's also different than usual, so perhaps some people, not fully grasping the seriousness of the situation, wanted to document their presence in the Sejm at such a special moment - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- I see that an alliance between PiS, the Left, and PSL has formed [yesterday in the Sejm]. It's all a matter of perspective - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in a conversation with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- I believe we were [in the Sejm] to make important decisions, and I regret that we only discussed the Sejm's rules of procedure, the introduction of remote voting, and not the most crucial matters. Because yesterday, we could have made the most important, necessary decisions - he continued.

- I believe that PiS wants to do everything, I don't want to say, to use the phrasing that they are doing it, breaking all the rules, but it seems that even in the shadow of the coronavirus and this great pandemic, they are doing everything to push for the May 10th elections, which is complete absurdity, but I see determination on their side - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- We are considering the possibility of remote voting, but the way the entire procedure was prepared is simply catastrophic. I haven't received a login. I haven't received a login, maybe Rafał Trzaskowski, who has been the mayor of Warsaw for a year and a half, got mine - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- I don't rule out that some information that has appeared in public space, suggesting that some former activists may have supported signature gathering, may have occurred. Every citizen has the right to sign for multiple candidates - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Marcin Wikło on TVP1's "Kwadrans polityczny" (Political Fifteen Minutes).

- I don't have trust, I don't believe in remote voting. I don't trust the organization of the Sejm's work. I've been here for 4 years and I see how it all looks, and I know that today, here and now, we need to help, and I am astonished that this bill was not processed yesterday - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in a conversation with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- Even on the far left, which is at the opposite pole of the political scene, there is an awareness that we need to act together. The same applies to PSL. Other parties, PO and Konfederacja, behave differently. This surprises me. We are in a difficult situation, facing a huge global challenge of a massive economic crisis. It will be a very tough period - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Marcin Wikło on TVP1's 'Political Quarter'.

- This is the decision of Civic Coalition as such and, of course, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska [regarding what would happen if the elections were postponed]. I believe that if these [presidential] elections are postponed, then everything will reopen - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- It's hard to say how much time there will be. I don't know what the scenario would be. I believe that the elections should definitely be postponed. And they should take place when we can say that the pandemic is over, that we are past this very difficult, hard stage of our country's functioning. Then we can move on to the election campaign - continued the Civic Platform leader.

- A budget without a deficit is not a value in itself at the moment, but thanks to its implementation, thanks to the budget that was adopted, we now have an airbag, we have a reserve that allows us to get through the crisis more easily. Imagine what would happen if we had tens of billions in deficit. In such a situation, the state would essentially be bankrupt right now - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Marcin Wikło on TVP1's "Political Fifteen Minutes".

"A fair approach to the matter should sound like this: okay, we postpone the elections, but to spring of next year, meaning by a year. If the opposition were to support this type of solution, then I would very gladly try to convince my colleagues from the United Right that this scenario is worth considering" - said Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

Ryszard Terlecki, the Sejm Marshal and a key figure in the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, has made a provocative statement regarding Borys Budka, the leader of the opposition Civic Platform (PO). In a tweet published on March 26, 2020, Terlecki declared, "We must finally admit it - Budka is our mole in the totalitarians." This statement, delivered with characteristic bluntness, has ignited a firestorm of controversy and debate within the Polish political landscape. The tweet, which links to a Twitter post from Terlecki's official account, suggests a deliberate strategy by PiS to undermine the opposition by placing Budka as an informant or agent provocateur within their ranks. This accusation, if taken at face value, implies a level of Machiavellian maneuvering that is both surprising and alarming. Terlecki's choice of the word "totalitarians" to describe Budka's party is also noteworthy, reflecting the sharp ideological divide and the confrontational rhetoric often employed by PiS against their political opponents. The implications of such an accusation are significant, potentially impacting public trust in opposition leaders and further polarizing an already deeply divided electorate. The full context and potential repercussions of Terlecki's statement are yet to unfold, but it is clear that this remark has injected a new, highly charged element into the ongoing political discourse in Poland.

“Prolonging the current method of combating the epidemic would, within a few weeks, lead European economies, not just the Polish one, to a state of very deep collapse. Overdosing the medicine could prove more dangerous than the disease, hence we must already today think about the second phase of the fight against the epidemic, and this fight must be much more targeted. We should identify the social groups most at risk from the epidemic. Obviously, these are the elderly and those with specific illnesses. Scientists must determine what these illnesses are. These two groups must be subjected to further, very careful quarantine and care. The rest of us must bear the burden of lifting the Polish economy out of the collapse. Otherwise, in 2-3 months, we will be talking not about job losses, but about the lack of funds to treat the sick” – said Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

As the chairman of a Senate committee, I was asked to convene a session in the usual manner on Tuesday morning, which means that the Senate majority is not considering a remote session after all.

Tests of the remote voting system are underway in the Sejm – enabled by a regulation amendment adopted yesterday – but opposition MPs are reporting on social media that the system is either not working at all or is freezing. The parliamentary session, at least according to the plan, is scheduled to resume at 12:00 PM.

"We find ourselves today in extraordinary circumstances, with the entire world battling the coronavirus pandemic. To what extent these circumstances are unusual, days, weeks, is evidenced by the comments of some EU leaders, for example, the Prime Minister of Italy, who says it's the most difficult time since World War II. Chancellor Merkel says similarly. We Poles experienced the nightmare of World War II, and later, during communist times, we endured much suffering, so we do not make such comparisons, but what is happening before our eyes is certainly the biggest challenge of recent decades" - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in the Sejm.

„We believe that we must slow the spread of the coronavirus as much as possible, while simultaneously recognizing the enormous damage this is doing to the economy, that it is destructive to the European and Polish economies. The data coming from Western Europe shows that our actions are appropriate, often proactive. We derive no particular satisfaction from this. We are simply convinced that we must act quickly today” – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

„I ask the High Chamber that everyone unanimously adopts the package we have prepared. Our anti-crisis shield is a good instrument for this stage of the coronavirus's development and the fight against the virus in the economy. We must act swiftly. We want to ensure that these instruments are operational in the coming days,” Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in the Sejm.

“Today, we must unite in the fight against the economic consequences that are already gripping the economy. This crisis is definitely hitting both the demand and supply sides, consumption, and investment, and it has a distinct character” – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

“Many analyses show that this curve [of infections in Poland] is proceeding differently. This is a spark of hope. It is not a victory yet, but it is a light at the end of the tunnel. The slowdown will enable our healthcare system to provide better medical services, to better care for the sick, so that we don't see the terrible situations we are witnessing in Spain and Italy, such as segregation. We want to avoid this at all costs” - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

„The funds we have offered are sufficient to cover 40% of salaries for all companies, micro, small, medium, and even larger ones, that commit to retaining, holding on, maintaining downtime, and reorganizing their work in a way that preserves as many jobs as possible. This is fundamentally necessary” – Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in the Sejm.

"I believe in a V-shaped economic recovery. At worst, a U-shaped one, but with a short recession or slowdown period. This means it's good to be able to preserve all the attributes, all the microeconomic parameters of your companies' operations as broadly as possible," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

„Where would we be, dear compatriots, without the repair of public finances, without tens of billions of zlotys, 70-80 billion, that we recovered from the hands of VAT mafias? These are funds we have allocated to social policy, and this social policy serves as a very important buffer today. We are maintaining the entire 500+ program, including for the first child. It is a social buffer for families” – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

“Unfortunately, today the European Union has not provided a single eurocent for the fight against coronavirus. It is evident that in such very difficult times, states, national states are the most important. Poles appreciate this. All EU citizens appreciate this, because unfortunately the EU’s reactions are what they are; everyone can observe them” – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

“Yesterday, sitting here [in the Sejm], I heard a concert of wishes. Dear representatives of the opposition, you know that I am open to dialogue. In the last few weeks, I have personally met with you several times in a direct format and additionally several times in the RBN format convened by the president. You know perfectly well that we can listen, incorporate certain ideas, but at the same time, you must realize that today, credibility in global financial markets determines the ability to carry out any economic actions. There are countries that have already gone bankrupt” - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

„Thank you very much, Madam Marshal, for preparing a special procedure to convene Sejm sessions safely, maintaining the distance we keep from each other, in accordance with the recommendations of epidemiologists, and to deliberate almost constantly on the subsequent elements of the shield” - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

"It's crucial to do this [adopt the anti-crisis shield] almost immediately. Each day of delay means tens of thousands unemployed. We have proposed solutions to counteract this. I am convinced that these are the best possible solutions, tailored to our capabilities, to our budgetary and fiscal situation" - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

- It would be dishonest to give such guarantees that the shield will cover all costs incurred by entrepreneurs. It would be dishonest on our part to be able to guarantee everyone the maintenance of their current incomes. But it is honest to assure that we are doing everything to protect jobs - said Łukasz Schreiber during his speech in the Sejm.

- We are here today with a sense of responsibility, but also with a sense of the great duty that lies before us to help all those who find themselves in a very difficult situation. Today we are talking not only about the Polish economy and health, but also about values that should guide us all. Solidarity, community, a sense of collective responsibility are things that should be of the greatest value. I regret that once again you are trying to divide Poles. I regret that, contrary to many appeals that are emerging today, you are dividing Polish employees into better and worse, employers into better and worse. You want to help only the chosen ones, without considering that it makes no difference today whether an employee works in a tiny shop employing 3 people, or in a factory employing several hundred people; they will be equally affected by the consequences of the crisis - stated Borys Budka during a Sejm session.

- Today, once again, you are exploiting a great global tragedy to attack the values upon which the European community is built. It is unbecoming, Mr. Prime Minister, to refer to the experiences of World War II and simultaneously demonstrate the weakness of the EU. No, Mr. Prime Minister, it is precisely thanks to European communities that Europe was rebuilt after World War II, peace was guaranteed, and today, more than ever, we need European solidarity, not an attack on common values. You don't understand the modern world, Mr. Prime Minister. You don't understand that community isn't just your party's community. That community and responsibility are needed precisely at such a moment - stated Borys Budka during a Sejm session.

"Yesterday I said that you cannot win against the coronavirus with lies. We must tell the truth. I know this truth is painful, but even the most painful truth will allow us to find wise solutions. We will not defeat the coronavirus if we do not have trust, and this trust is needed for our work more than ever before. A medical rescuer must trust the patient that they are telling the truth. A nurse and a doctor must trust the minister, who, if they say there is equipment and there are tests, then they truly exist" - said Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in the Sejm.

- How do you plan to keep people at home? You won't keep a hungry person at home. They will go out to find money to buy food. If we want to stop the epidemic, as Minister Szumowski appeals, then we must ensure people have the means to live during this short period - said Izabela Leszczyna in the Sejm. 

- I appeal once again: do not divide Poles into better and worse. End this division that your leader proposed a few years ago into a better and worse sort. Today is a great time of trial, but today is a time of trial for all of us, to demand elementary principles in a sense of responsibility. Social solidarity, equality before the law, but also a community that we must rebuild together. And today, in the anti-crisis package, you tried to add solutions that have nothing to do with fighting the crisis. You wanted prosecutors to be able to lock people in their homes for 3 months without any oversight. These were your ideas. Only thanks to our intervention, with an amendment, you changed this, but you are still trying to sneak in a provision that will grant impunity to officials who will get rich from this tragedy. You are proposing to eliminate official offenses involving the failure to fulfill duties or exceeding powers. This is a disgrace, Mr. Prime Minister. You should never have done this - stated Borys Budka during the Sejm session.

- Today, Mr. [Prime Minister Morawiecki], by listening to your boss's voice, a very bad one that speaks solely of electoral interest, you are not introducing a state of emergency. This is your shame and your personal responsibility – stated Borys Budka during a Sejm session.

- Our club's motion for the second reading [of the so-called anti-crisis shield projects] without referral to committee has been submitted - stated Ryszard Terlecki during the Sejm session.

- The Left will not agree when the Prime Minister conjures reality, claiming that everything in our country is in order. Let's be honest. More could have been done and we could have been better prepared for the epidemic. Those in power slept through a lot of time when all services, both Polish and foreign, were raising alarms. There was a shortage of masks, protective suits, and disinfectants in warehouses. But the time for accountability will come, and so will the consequences. In this difficult time, we should be a political and social community. We, as The Left, declare such cooperation - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski during the Sejm session.

- Willingness to cooperate does not mean that we will uncritically accept and support all government proposals. The Left has an obligation to the citizens, but not to the authorities. That is why I say clearly and unequivocally: we negatively assess many government proposals. Haste, short-sightedness, and sometimes a lack of reflection are visible in them. These are sometimes simply harmful and dangerous solutions, anti-worker and anti-citizen, which the Left will not support - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski during a Sejm session.

We will not allow a medicine to be administered today that could harm the Polish economy more than the illness itself. We will not allow the state to shift the costs of the crisis onto citizens, employees, and entrepreneurs. The Left will never agree to the government imposing shock therapy as part of the crisis. On behalf of the Lewica (The Left) parliamentary club, I clearly declare that there is no consent for hiding wage cuts for employees within regulations. Even more so, there is no consent for halving salaries. We will not allow restrictions on rest periods and longer working hours. There is no consent for introducing restrictions on civil rights and freedoms through the back door. There is no consent to limit the activities of non-governmental organizations. We do not agree to the introduction of a police state, which you want to propose to us today," stated Krzysztof Gawkowski during a Sejm session.

- Now the question is for all of us, here in this chamber, all parliamentarians. Will we pass the solidarity test? Are we capable of putting aside our infighting, all of this, these barbs, and normally apply the principle of solidarity. But solidarity must be two-way. We supported your law granting gigantic powers. We did not submit amendments in the Senate to this special coronavirus law. But you must now seriously consider our amendments to this law. Do not say that when the opposition submits something, it's a wish list. When we spoke of voluntary ZUS two weeks ago, two months ago, it was a wish list for you. But when Mr. President signed it, you say: yes, that's a good idea - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the Sejm.

- Mr. Prime Minister, for me, during a crisis, the opinion of a real expert is important. Polish entrepreneurs. Ms. Hanna, who runs a travel agency, Mr. Stanisław, who has a transport company, and Mr. Jan, who writes to me: "It's a bit shoddy that the government considers revenue, not profit, and from February. For example, I have low margins, but my revenue in February was over PLN 15,600, and I'll have to pay ZUS, even though in March I already have a huge drop in revenue, and almost zero profit." This is the voice of a real expert - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the Sejm.

“I have the impression that you do not realize the gravity of the situation employers and employees find themselves in. Entrepreneurs are withholding decisions. The future of Polish families is being decided today. What we received is not an anti-crisis shield, but a media and bureaucratic one” – said Jakub Kulesza from Confederation in the Sejm. 

- A final request to the Speaker. Parliament should not suspend its sessions. It should work continuously, every day. A session should be held every day. In two weeks, I expect a report from the Prime Minister on the implementation of the anti-crisis act. We will win this fight only through solidarity and responsibility - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the Sejm. 

- A very interesting, engaging speech by MP Leszczyna, from which I noted one sentence: people need public money. I would like to remind you of quotes from your speeches when our government proposed social programs like 500+ and then its extension to the first child. At that time, you were of a completely different opinion and did not then say that these people needed public money. But it's an interesting change - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz during a Sejm session.

"We truly understand that time is of the essence and we don't want to debate until Monday like the Left just for the sake of debating longer. We need to debate as long as necessary. We mustn't extend this time, but there are certain things we must say. We don't know the most basic things" - said Sławomir Nitras from Civic Platform in the Sejm.

"I'd like to ask how many people lost their jobs in Poland. How can we pass laws when the government doesn't present the simplest, most basic information?" - he added.

– We are submitting dozens of amendments that will make this leaky, cardboard anti-crisis shield actually a tool that will protect you. This is a test for you, Mr. Prime Minister, for your credibility. You have been failing one test for a long time, by not introducing a state of emergency, you are not giving hundreds of thousands of people, who are affected daily by your decisions, the opportunity to claim compensation. In our amendments, we guarantee the waiver of ZUS contributions for all entrepreneurs affected by the coronavirus, the effects of this epidemic, without exception, but also for employees in all sectors, regardless of the size of the employer, the scale of economic activity, and the type of activity. We guarantee minimum wages from the state budget. You promised a rational budget, today is your test. You spoke about no deficit, today is the time to help people regardless of who they work for. A declaration from an entrepreneur should be the basis for providing assistance. Finally, start trusting Polish entrepreneurs. Today you are seizing more bank accounts, conducting more administrative enforcement. It's high time to say: stop. An entrepreneur's declaration should be the basis for providing this assistance. Fast, three-day VAT refunds. Employers need this money to pay wages. You are holding it in state treasury accounts. 20 billion for healthcare, concretely, from European funds, let's allocate it precisely for those who fight the coronavirus daily, for personal protective equipment, for hospital equipment. 20 billion PLN for healthcare, you gave 2 billion to TVP, we want to give 20 billion to healthcare. Care allowance for you, dear parents, who from Monday will be with your children again because they will not be attending schools, kindergartens, nurseries, but also for those whose children are over 8 years old – stated Borys Budka during the Sejm session.

– Flexible working hours. This is the basis for quickly reacting to changing conditions. Reduction of rents for both catering and retail premises, because simply business cannot be conducted in them. Bank guarantees for all companies without exception, without dividing them into industries, without categories of better and worse sorts, and finally, quick working capital loans. This is very important to be able to react very quickly. We would like to discuss these dozens of amendments in detail, to show what concrete solutions we are presenting, but unfortunately, such a work mode has been introduced – he continued.

- The minister somehow found PLN 70 billion for banks. There is no money for the unemployed, no money for workers, but there is money for banks. President Duda asked the banks to somehow ease things for people. What did the banks do? They shortened the loan repayment period, making the installments larger, and the banks will profit even more from this. What kind of situation is this at all? The President of the Republic asks banks for mercy. Who is really in charge here? - said Maciej Konieczny in the Sejm. 

The provided text is a link to a tweet. Therefore, a direct translation of the article's body is not possible. However, I can translate the title as requested.

The content of the tweet itself, based on the provided Polish title, is a political statement by Donald Tusk addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and urging for national unity, truth over propaganda, and responsible political action, including postponing elections.

- It is a pity that you did not conduct an authentic dialogue with the trade unions, with employers within the framework of the RDS. This is a body that should function in this way. The President is its patron, so I think he would have done much better if he had ensured dialogue between employees, trade unions, and the government, instead of the ' gospodarskie' visits he was making at that time - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the Sejm.

- Do we need the Central Communication Port today? Are any gigantic purchases, such as of F-35s, needed today? Is this a key issue for the coming years? Investment in economic security is the primary matter today, because without jobs, without our security, everything else will truly take a backseat - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the Sejm.

Jadwiga Emilewicz, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development, expressed her hope on Twitter that the Marshal of the Senate, Tomasz Grodzki, will speed up the convening of a Senate session for Monday. She emphasized that as an experienced doctor, Grodzki should understand the urgency of the situation, comparing it to sudden illnesses where immediate action is crucial.

In her tweet, Emilewicz stated: "I hope that Marshal Grodzki will expedite the convening of the Senate session for Monday. As an experienced doctor, he should know that in cases of sudden illnesses, one cannot wait, one must act immediately."

This statement suggests a perceived urgency on the part of the government or at least Deputy Prime Minister Emilewicz regarding the need for legislative action, which she believes should be addressed by the Senate as soon as possible. The analogy to sudden illness highlights the critical nature of the matters at hand, implying that delays could have significant negative consequences.

The specific reasons for the urgent need for a Senate session were not detailed in the tweet, but it is likely related to ongoing political or economic issues that require parliamentary deliberation and decision-making. The reference to Grodzki's medical background serves to underscore the speaker's expectation that he would grasp the necessity of prompt action.

- Before we start changing the constitution, let the government finally start enforcing its provisions and introduce a state of natural disaster. We have a state of natural disaster. That's why we're wearing gloves and masks here. I didn't want to scare you and you, sir, so I took mine off out of affection for you and all the viewers - said Izabela Leszczyna in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Wydarzenia i Opinie' on Polsat News.

„We face an armageddon for employees and employers. Swift action is needed. We are ready at all times to improve this package, because it is already evident that it is [imperfect] today” – said the Polish Coalition's presidential candidate and PSL chairman, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, in an interview with Andrzej Morozowski on „Kropka nad i” on TVN24.

“A week ago I said that I would not question Andrzej Duda’s mandate, even if he were president until next spring. There is nothing more important today than health and life. In practice, it is easiest to introduce a state of natural disaster, and today there are not only all the premises for its introduction, but the mechanism used in a [state of natural disaster] is already being applied” – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, the Polish Coalition candidate for president and leader of the PSL, in a conversation with Andrzej Morozowski on “Kropka nad i” on TVN24.

- If it turns out after the holidays that we, Poles, have collectively achieved this goal [of lowering the curve of new infections], it will be possible to begin the process of the state's evolutionary unfreezing, primarily the economy - stated Jarosław Gowin in an interview with Danuta Holecka on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

- This is not a topic [presidential elections] for today. Today, it is a third-tier issue. As I said, we are fighting for the lives and health of Poles. We are beginning a very difficult fight to save jobs and living standards. We can return to the issue of election timing after the holidays. Then we will know what the situation looks like and whether it is possible to hold elections within this constitutional, May deadline. That would be best - he continued.

“My election staff has transformed into a crisis team, helping those returning to Poland, seeking support for hospitals” - said the candidate of the Polish Coalition for president, PSL chairman Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Andrzej Morozowski on “Kropka nad i” on TVN24.

„The fact that PiS activists were collecting signatures for Mr. Marek Jakubiak is something that should probably be asked of him and the PiS activists themselves. If this is the case, it means they have two candidates, and Andrzej Duda's votes could soon split. An interesting situation” - said the Polish Coalition presidential candidate and PSL leader Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Andrzej Morozowski on "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.
