- It was simply time to cut through this entire spiral of various slanders, various lies that have recently been directed at the government. We also needed to clearly cut through various kinds of speculation, rumors spread about the government's political base and political support. That is why this tool, provided for under current law, was used. Yesterday showed the unity of United Right – said Michał Dworczyk in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's "Jedziemy".
08:08
- First, I heard shouts from the Sejm tribune, which Borys Budka stormed, shouting something at all of us, when, without offending anyone, we were simply talking to each other. So those were the first voices I heard, that it's a scandal, why are we talking. Those voices were what I heard primarily. Well, there's action, there's reaction, and then these shouts in the Sejm have recently become, I think, a common practice. Let's recall that yesterday, during Prime Minister Morawiecki's speech, these shouts could be heard for approximately one-third of the speech, and they were shouts from the opposition - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".
- I didn't hear. Several ministers and those accompanying me in the conversation started speaking louder, so I don't know exactly what the President [Jarosław Kaczyński] said during the evening debate on the dismissal of the Minister of Health. We were primarily talking with Łukasz Szumowski about what he would be saying from the Sejm tribune shortly, and we focused on that - the Deputy Prime Minister continued.
08:08
- When any offer came in from the Ministry of Health, that offer was sent on, first it was verified whether it was necessary equipment. If it was necessary equipment, if the certificates attached to the offer matched, then it turned out that some of those certificates were falsified, but they were verified quickly at the beginning, as was possible. When it turned out that the application met the formal requirements in this regard, it was forwarded by email to the Central Anticorruption Bureau, which again, in a very short time, checked basic information about the offeror, and after confirmation by the CBA, the ministry made the purchase. There were companies that were flagged by the CBA as unreliable, and then purchases were not made. But the CBA had literally a few hours for that. And why was that? Because that's how the market looked then – said Michał Dworczyk in "Jedziemy" on TVP Info.
08:18
Emilewicz:
Dispute - Yes, War - No
- Dispute - yes, war - no. I think this should really become the fundamental message accompanying this chamber. It is inadvisable to shout at each other, and Representative Budka is truly known for his rather arrogant provocations here directed at many representatives of the coalition, including myself. Therefore, I recommend calm, and I recommend it from both sides of the political scene - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz on TVN24's "One on One".
08:20
- Yesterday, President Jarosław Kaczyński did nothing inappropriate. As I repeat, he stood up at the moment the debate began in order to step aside for a moment. Nothing happened there that could have upset MP Budka to the point of him shouting at all of us - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in "Jeden na jeden" on TVN24.

Sobolewski:
The President's Signature Traits, Besides Credibility, Are Also Conversations with Poles
“The President’s signature traits, besides credibility, are also conversations with Poles. Throughout his 5-year term, the President has visited all counties, and as part of this campaign, until it was frozen by the coronavirus pandemic, the President traveled, met with Poles, and talked. We want to continue this now as well, as we are unfreezing this campaign starting yesterday. Today, PAD is setting off to Silesia in the Dudabus” – said Krzysztof Sobolewski from PiS on Polskie Radio Jedynka.

Zandberg:
Every Time PiS is in Trouble, Needing to Explain Something Serious, Kaczyński Appears to Insult Someone, Yell at Someone, Behave Vulgarity
“I have a feeling that Kaczyński is doing this deliberately. Every time PiS is in trouble, when they would have to explain something serious, Kaczyński appears, insults someone, yells at someone, behaves vulgarly, and the entire public opinion starts talking about that, instead of talking about what is actually inconvenient for PiS,” Adrian Zandberg from The Left said in an interview with Krzysztof Skórzyński on TVN24.

- I am glad, I defended Jan Śpiewak, I believed that the court's verdict was unfair, in the sense that Jan Śpiewak is above all a social activist, someone who truly did not want to profit from lawsuits, he was not a party to privatization lawsuits in any way. He was a young man who got involved because he felt something bad was happening to people. For that, he was convicted. It was wrong that he was convicted, it is good that he has been pardoned. We need people like Śpiewak, who stand up for the weaker - said Maciej Gdula in a conversation with Robert Mazurek on RMR FM.

Budka:
Lichocka's Gesture Was Seen by All, Now We Have Kaczyński's Statement. We Demand an Apology for Millions of Poles Addressed by Mr. Kaczyński
- I am here with Rafał Trzaskowski to support Sebastian [Kościelnik]. Sebastian has encountered the entire machinery of the PiS state. Sebastian has encountered the worst aspects of the PiS government. The arrogance of power and the conviction of impunity. For nearly three years, Sebastian has had to prove his innocence. Sebastian was convicted before the trial even took place. He was convicted by PiS ministers who, in the media, tried to shift the blame onto him simply because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Today, we state clearly: There are no equals and more equal than others. This government cannot be allowed to be above the law. No one can stand at the parliamentary podium or at a rally and insult others simply because they hold different views. Yesterday in the Sejm, Mr. Jarosław Kaczyński once again showed his true attitude towards people like Sebastian, towards the parents of Igor Stachowiak, towards people who dared to oppose this government. We saw the gesture of MP Lichocka, everyone saw it. And since yesterday, we have had Jarosław Kaczyński's statement. I want to say this clearly: We demand an apology, we demand an apology for the millions of Poles to whom Mr. Jarosław Kaczyński directed his words - Borys Budka said in Oświęcim.
09:31
- We are fed up with some being more equal than others. Mr. Sebastian's case shows that if anyone enters into conflict with this government, they cannot expect to be treated equally. Many times people asked me why we defend the constitution, why we defend independent courts. These were difficult conversations. I often asked: why don't you, the people who didn't come to these courts, mobilize? They said: because it doesn't really concern me. Exactly this kind of case, like Mr. Sebastian's, shows that it concerns absolutely everyone - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Oświęcim.

Trzaskowski:
PiS Held a Vote of Confidence to Confirm Majority Support and Ruin Our Celebration. We Wanted to Talk About Community Yesterday, and the Rulers Decided to Divide Again.

Sobolewski:
We are submitting documents confirming the electoral committee of PAD's intention to participate in the elections scheduled for June 28
- We are in front of the PKW headquarters. I am about to enter to submit the documents that primarily confirm the electoral committee of presidential candidate Andrzej Duda's intention to participate in the elections scheduled for June 28, and at the same time, I am declaring the renewed intention to run and participate in the elections by the candidate supported by the United Right, namely President Andrzej Duda - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski at a press briefing.
- In our case, in the case of the electoral committee of presidential candidate Andrzej Duda, we do not need to collect signatures, because our candidate has officially been the candidate supported by the United Right since February. No changes have occurred, so we are going today to complete the formalities so that we can participate in the elections on June 28 - he continued.

Biedroń:
Śpiewak Had the Courage to Fight Warsaw's Wild Privatization. I'm Glad He Was Pardoned
Robert Biedroń, a Member of the European Parliament and former Mayor of Słupsk, has commented on the pardon of Jan Śpiewak, a prominent activist fighting against the irregularities in Warsaw's reprivatization process. Biedroń expressed his satisfaction with the decision, highlighting Śpiewak's courage.
"Jan Śpiewak had the courage to fight against the wild reprivatization in Warsaw. I am glad that he was pardoned," wrote Biedroń on his Twitter account, linking to a tweet from the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda.
The tweet from the Presidential Chancellery stated: "President Andrzej Duda, acting on the request of the wife of the convicted Jan Śpiewak, has pardoned Jan Śpiewak." This decision follows a lengthy legal battle concerning Śpiewak's actions related to his investigation into the reprivatization of a property at 48 Twarda Street in Warsaw.
Jan Śpiewak, an investigative journalist and activist, has been a vocal critic of what he describes as corrupt practices in the restitution of former property owners' assets in Warsaw, particularly in cases where the legality of the original dispossession is questionable and where heirs are often difficult to identify.
Biedroń's statement underscores the sentiment shared by many who see Śpiewak's activism as a crucial effort to bring transparency and accountability to a contentious issue in the capital city. The pardon is likely to be seen as a victory for civil society activists and a recognition of the importance of their work in uncovering and addressing historical injustices and potential corruption.

Sobolewski:
Apparently, Only One Political Group Took Yesterday's Words Personally
- Observing what has been happening in the Sejm for over a decade and the behavior of parts of the opposition, which can be counted in the dozens, hundreds of actions unbecoming of a Member of Parliament, yesterday's words were apparently only taken personally by one political group. So, I don't think so, and this is a culmination of what we experience there in the parliamentary benches day after day during Sejm sessions, when MPs from the opposition, from one group, I want to clearly emphasize, behave in a manner unbecoming of a Member of Parliament - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski at a press briefing.
11:47
„The election campaign and political life are governed by certain norms of social behavior, norms of a civilized state, norms in which certain principles should be respected. For several days now, we have been witnessing from the side of PiS, from the side of public media, and affiliated groups and media, a constant campaign of contempt and hatred. Today, we read another thing in Onet – about a campaign that was conducted against Rafał Trzaskowski, in which people connected with the Ministry of Justice, who worked for Mr. Patryk Jaki and are currently associated with Deputy Minister Kaleta, evidently participated. We ask, is this how the campaign is supposed to look according to PiS? Do Mr. Brudziński, Mr. Bielan, or even Mr. Duda feel comfortable that all restraints have broken and all boundaries have been erased? Is this how politics should look in 2020?” asked Barbara Nowacka of Civic Coalition during a press conference.
„Will people who worked for Solvere work for Andrzej Duda, or are they currently running the campaign? Will these kinds of unworthy attacks also be used in this campaign? How far can the haters go?” she added.

As sources speaking to 300POLITYKA have announced, Szymon Hołownia will deliver a key speech before the Belvedere Palace on Saturday, after which he will embark on a campaign trail to the strongholds of PiS to meet with Andrzej Duda's voters.
- Tomorrow's event will consist of two strong points. Szymon Hołownia will present something that has not yet been seen in Polish political campaigns - say the candidate's campaign staff, emphasizing that the campaign trail is based on a multifaceted and precise analysis of the country's electoral geography, supported by modern technologies. The start is scheduled for 12:00 PM in front of the Belvedere Palace in Warsaw.

Trzaskowski:
We've received reports of money being taken from seniors' accounts for a propaganda TV subscription. I call on the government for an amnesty.
- I am very pleased to be in Chrzanów once again. Fantastic reception, thank you all very much. I knew we had to support a good candidate for mayor. I was not mistaken. It was Robert [Maciaszek] who always encouraged me to get involved in local government, stating clearly that the most important decisions are made here, close to the citizens. And today, here in Chrzanów, Robert and I discussed primarily the need for senior policy, because the President of the Republic must be a strong president who stands by all those who need support, especially our seniors, who today give us so much brilliant, fantastic energy. And both Robert here in Chrzanów, and I in Warsaw, and many other local government officials take care of Universities of the Third Age, they ensure that seniors can continue to participate in our social life at full speed, but also care for those seniors who need support. And the President of the Republic should also stand close to seniors and support them, because it is from you, precisely from you, that this positive energy, which we need so much, emanates - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing in Chrzanów.
- And I wanted to take this opportunity to refer to an issue that moved me yesterday, because we have all received information that today, unfortunately, money is often taken from seniors' accounts for a subscription to pay for propaganda television. And I want to clearly appeal to the government for an amnesty. Such things have happened before, so today we must resolve this matter once and for all. People cannot be forced, especially people in difficult situations, to pay a subscription for propaganda, and even more so, they cannot be forced to do so by taking money from their accounts, and this is my clear appeal to the government: let's resolve this matter once and for all - he continued.

- I don't know the case files exactly, I don't know all the details. I hope the President always bases such decisions on merits - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing in Chrzanów. When asked if he would submit a restitution bill to the Sejm if he becomes president, he replied in the affirmative.
13:59
Trzaskowski:
Kaczyński and the ruling majority have once again staged a spectacle of dividing us into better and worse. I am simply saddened by such a day.
- The words spoken by Jarosław Kaczyński should never have been uttered. Even less so on the day of the June 4th celebration. I lament, I simply lament, I am saddened that on a day when we were all smiling, building a sense of community, wanting to talk about what unites us and what divides us, President Kaczyński and the ruling majority have once again staged a spectacle of dividing us into better and worse. I am simply saddened by such a day - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing in Chrzanów.

Trzaskowski:
The More Problems the Rulers Create, the Greater the Mobilization Among People. I Think This Attempt to Create Problems with Signature Collection Will Backfire
"This also shows the spirit in the nation. The more problems the rulers create, the greater the mobilization among people. I think this attempt to create problems with signature collection, with registering, will backfire, because today people, and I see it on your faces too, simply want change," said Rafał Trzaskowski, the Civic Coalition's presidential candidate and the Mayor of Warsaw.

- We finally need a multi-year plan, not more discussions around a table. We need a multi-year plan to achieve Poland's climate neutrality and decarbonization in 30 years, and we must do this in solidarity with the miners, because we are not to protect the mines, we are to protect the miners, and we must finally move in the direction we will have to go anyway, as evidenced by the business decisions of energy companies – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing.
16:30
Hołownia:
Today, the President Should Convene the National Security Council and Demand Systemic Solutions for Water Retention Funding Instead of Talking About Digging Ponds
- Today, the President, instead of talking about digging ponds, should convene the National Security Council (RBN) and demand systemic solutions from the government, a systemic approach to co-financing small water retention programs, in order to achieve this, to support Polish farmers, Polish local governments, all those who are interested in this, who truly want assistance from the state in retaining water in Poland - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing.

Trzaskowski:
This Journey Through Poland Recharges Our Batteries, Gives Us Plenty of Energy. Everywhere We Go, Hundreds, and Sometimes Thousands, of People Come to Manifest Their Displeasure with What They Observe in Poland Today
“We are celebrating 30 years of local government throughout. This is an incredibly important occasion for us, because without local government, our cities, towns, villages, and regions would not be changing so rapidly” – said Rafał Trzaskowski, the Civic Coalition's presidential candidate and Mayor of Warsaw, in Wieliczka.
“This journey through Poland recharges our batteries, gives us plenty of energy. I wanted to thank you very much for that. Everywhere we go, hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of people come to manifest their displeasure with what they observe in Poland today” – he added.

- Today, the United Right camp governs Poland. The United Right camp, which yesterday gave its government another vote of confidence by voting in the Sejm when the Prime Minister requested that trust. Yes, it was I who proposed this to the Prime Minister. I said: they are pulling at you from every side. They are hindering you, undermining your policy. They are undermining your successes, casting doubt on them. You need to take a firm stance. Do the MPs still stand firm as the United Right, are they together, do they want to continue implementing this program? It turned out they do - said President Andrzej Duda in Katowice.

- We've caught a new wind in our sails. We've just been through a difficult period for all of us. There was a time when, theoretically, there was no campaign, no goal, no election date. The date is here now. This awareness of the finish line is incredibly liberating - said Szymon Hołownia on Polsat News.

Hołownia:
We Will Try to Propose a Campaign Model That Truly Hasn't Been Seen Before
- We will try to propose such a model for conducting this campaign, for direct contact with voters, as has truly not been seen before, and the very thought of it brings me great joy today - said Szymon Hołownia on Polsat News.

Hołownia:
Trzaskowski's Arrival Shifted the Landscape, Even for Kosiniak-Kamysz. Those Voters Were Leaving Kidawa for Him. Ours Stayed. Now We Need to Gain Another 10 Percentage Points.
- Our results are roughly at the same level they were before Rafał Trzaskowski appeared. They haven't increased, they are where they were. This shows that Rafał Trzaskowski's appearance radically changed the situation, even for Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. Those voters were leaving Kidawa specifically for him. Ours stayed. We now need to build another 10 percentage points over these three weeks – said Szymon Hołownia on Polsat News.

Hołownia:
I'm Not a Fan of Śpiewak's Language, I Think He Went Too Far. He Offended Someone. However, the Pardon Was a Good Decision Because What Happened with Reprivatization Cries Out to Heaven
- I am not always a supporter of Jan Śpiewak's language, and I believe he definitely went too far in this statement. He offended someone. However, it was a good decision, I'm talking about the pardon, because what happened with reprivatization, what happened around this topic and the level of its unresolved nature, cries out to heaven - said Szymon Hołownia in Polsat News.
