Kidawa-Błońska:

We are effectively already one foot outside the European Union
  • For now, we have no elections, for now, we have chaos, and we don't know what tomorrow will bring. There was an agreement that a bill would be prepared and elections would be held when a good bill enabling the elections was ready, and that bill is missing. Today, Chairman Kaczyński and his entourage are debating at Nowogrodzka, and we also don't know what they've come up with. From what we hear, the agreements between Mr. Gowin and Mr. Kaczyński are no longer in effect, hence the great chaos. Therefore, the question isn't whether I'm running or participating in the elections. For me, the question is what this will mean for Poland, because all the principles of our social life have been broken. State institutions are not functioning; in the Supreme Court, a fight is ongoing to preserve it as a constitutional body, to ensure there are professionals there, and that the law is applied there, so during such a - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
  • During such a creeping coup d'état, the most important thing is how to prevent it, how to stop it, and how to ensure we return to being a democratic country. In reality, we are already one foot outside the European Union - she continued.

Kidawa-Błońska:

Elections Must Be Safe for Poles and Conducted by PKW. Currently, There Are No Such Elections in This Form on the Table

- From the beginning, I've been saying, and I think it's clear to everyone. Elections must be safe for Poles, that's one thing, and the second is that they must be conducted by the PKW (National Electoral Commission). Currently, there are no such elections in this form on the table. There is no such law, there is no such possibility. In Poland, elections are conducted by the PKW, not a PiS official. We cannot pretend that PiS is not limiting our freedoms and demolishing what should be very important to us. Elections should take place. Elections are not just a moment of voting, but also a campaign period. So that Poles can talk to their candidates, learn about their programs, discuss, and ask questions. This opportunity is not available, and for a few weeks now, we have been discussing when this vote will take place, which is not yet a vote - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

Kidawa-Błońska:

Kaczyński is Rushing to Elections Because He Knows His Candidate's Ratings Will Plummet, and in Fair Elections, PAD Wouldn't Win

- The Prime Minister still lacks the courage to declare a state of natural disaster, which would solve all problems. I believe that President Kaczyński is rushing to elections precisely because he knows that his candidate's ratings will significantly decrease in a few weeks or months, and in a fair election, President Duda would not win – stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

Kidawa-Błońska on PM Morawiecki: I Don't Understand Why He Wants to Discard His Honor, Respect, Just Because He Lacks the Courage to Declare a State of Natural Disaster, Which Exists in Our Country and Everyone Knows It. I Don't Understand This Cowardice
I am surprised by Prime Minister Morawiecki, because in reality, he bears responsibility for all this chaos caused by these elections, as he has the constitutional tools to resolve this stalemate situation legally. I don't understand why he wants to discard his honor, respect, just because he lacks the courage to declare a state of natural disaster, which exists in our country and everyone knows it. I don't understand this cowardice - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

Hołownia:

The government's and President's recent actions defy common sense and the law; we will ensure maximum citizen oversight of the electoral process

Tomorrow's date will go down in Polish history. On this day, elections for the President of the Republic of Poland should have been held. Elections that are secret, direct, equal, and universal. These elections will not happen tomorrow – unlawfully, without any procedure, and, for now, without anyone being held accountable. When will they take place? We don't know. Today, all day long, party factions at the Central Committee on Nowogrodzka Street played their dirty games: they bluffed, argued, reconciled again, played cards with our lives, our freedom, behind our backs, over our heads” – said presidential candidate Szymon Hołownia in an online recording.

The recent actions of the ruling party and the current president defy not only common sense but, above all, applicable law and the constitution. From the very beginning, I said that due to the epidemic situation, it was justified to introduce a state of natural disaster as quickly as possible, which would further regulate the matter of elections in accordance with the constitution. This did not happen. Instead, we were subjected to deepening chaos in the state and increasingly strong social unrest” – he added. 

Today, on the eve of the elections, we don't know when they will be held, we don't know in what form they will be held, under what law. Whenever this happens, we will be watching the authorities closely. We will do everything to ensure that citizens have the greatest possible control over this process. We will launch citizen election oversight” – Hołownia said.
