Kierwiński on PiS's Self-Amendment to Electoral Law Changes: PiS Wants to Steal Free, Independent Elections from Poles. This System Clearly Creates Room for Electoral Fraud
Yesterday, we witnessed disgraceful scenes. There were haggling between members of the ruling coalition over who would have more power within this coalition. We are of the stance that the Polish Sejm should be dealing with what is currently most important for Poles – health security, the fight against coronavirus, and economic security issues,” said PO Secretary General Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference. “PiS, with this project, wants to steal free, independent elections from Poles. This electoral code that has been presented is a code for the complete politicization of elections, which eliminates the National Electoral Commission (PKW), which effectively transfers the implementation of the electoral process from the hands of the independent PKW to Minister Sasin. This code contains a host of solutions based on regulations that will be issued later by the relevant ministers of the PiS government. One could say that the PiS party is conducting the elections. This system clearly creates room for electoral fraud,” he added.

Hołownia on Electoral Law Changes: If Porozumienie MPs Vote Yes, They Will Dismantle Polish Democracy Under the Guise of Economic Responsibility

"If the MPs of Porozumienie decide to vote for this legislative monstrosity that Jarosław Kaczyński is proposing today, they should remember that history will remember them. It won't be Jarosław Kaczyński who gives them awards or grades, but society and history will be the ones to judge them. They will find themselves in a situation where, under the guise of responsibility for the Polish economy, they will finally dismantle Polish democracy" - said presidential candidate Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

Szumowski:

Infection numbers are rising and will continue to do so. Limiting them depends solely on us. It seems nothing indicates the epidemic will subside in the coming weeks.

- Yesterday, the day before yesterday, you saw the numbers were around 400. This shows that the number of infections is rising and will of course continue to rise. Whether we manage to limit it depends solely on us. It seems that nothing indicates the epidemic will subside in the coming weeks. Therefore, together with the Prime Minister, we are analyzing further possible actions, our actions in the coming weeks - stated Łukasz Szumowski at a press conference in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

Hołownia:

Only a Naive Idiot Would Believe Kaczyński Would Use Undemocratic Elections Only Once

"Only a naive idiot would believe that if Jarosław Kaczyński is given a tool like unfair elections, conducted under the cover of the army, police, and perhaps other services, elections that open the door to many falsifications, and above all, non-universal elections, he would use this only once and certainly not use it in the future" - said presidential candidate Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

Szumowski:

Soon we will likely ask all medical staff to wear masks permanently at work

- We are at a stage of the epidemic where soon we will likely ask all medical staff to wear masks permanently at work, in order to protect their colleagues and patients. We know that horizontal transmission of the virus is increasing. We want this protective equipment to be available everywhere, because we need to protect medical professionals, first and foremost medical professionals in the broad sense of the word, starting from laboratories and ending with transport personnel working in hospitals - stated Łukasz Szumowski at a press conference in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

Dworczyk:

Medical Protective Gear is a Global Challenge; Poland Secures 31 Million Masks and 17.5 Million Pairs of Gloves in 10 Days

Recently, a number of unverified, and in part entirely distorted, pieces of information have appeared in the media regarding the demand for and availability of protective equipment, tests, and other supplies essential for combating the coronavirus epidemic” – said the Head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery, Minister Michał Dworczyk, at a press conference.

Protective equipment for medical personnel, for the services, is a challenge faced not only by Poland today, but by Europe, all European Union countries, and one can also say more broadly – the entire world. Following Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki’s recommendation, an intensive campaign to replenish this key assortment has been carried out over the last 10 days. A number of items have been contracted abroad, primarily in China, but also in other manufacturing countries, which have already begun arriving at healthcare facilities and hospitals. 31 million medical masks, 28 million masks with HEPA filters, 17.5 million pairs of disposable gloves, over 1.5 million protective suits, nearly 2 million goggles. These are just the purchases and contracts from the last 10 days” – he added.

Dworczyk:

The Recommendation is Clear: To Forego Travel This Holiday and Stay Home

- The recommendation here is unequivocal. We should limit movement as much as possible. This is, of course, a serious problem and a significant challenge, as Easter is a time when we usually met with family, when Poles traveled between cities. But here, as Professor Szumowski said, we are trying to protect human life. Not just health, but human life. Therefore, the recommendation is clear: to forgo travel this holiday and to stay home this holiday - stated Michał Dworczyk at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).
