- I think one can quote Prime Minister Miller here, that a man is recognized in a certain way, and I think this will be a good end to Andrzej Duda's presidency. I would like this visit not to be part of an election campaign, but a well-thought-out strategy of the Polish government and the president. It doesn't seem well-thought-out, however, any relations with our partners, in this case the USA, should be assessed positively, provided, of course, they bring some results, because I dare to doubt, there is also an election campaign there, and much can still change there - stated Borys Budka in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
08:09
Budka:
Trzaskowski is an independent politician, a great candidate, and will be a strong president
- Rafał Trzaskowski is the face of this campaign, he is an independent politician, a great candidate, and will be a strong president. I am working in parallel for Rafał Trzaskowski; yesterday, for example, I had a meeting in Łódź with local government officials, with Mayor Zdanowska. We are discussing issues of local government financing and the disclosure of the true state of public finances - stated Borys Budka in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
08:14
Budka:
I Know PAD is Still the Favorite, That's Why I Always Ask for Support for Trzaskowski Wherever I Am
- I am proud of the election campaign. Of course, I know that Andrzej Duda is still the favorite, which is why I always ask for support for Rafał Trzaskowski wherever I am. Trzaskowski is also my candidate, the candidate of Civic Coalition, he is a civic and local government candidate, and he doesn't need such a great involvement of party leaders, although wherever he is, he enjoys the support of local government officials, and this shows the great potential of Rafał - stated Borys Budka in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

Szumowski:
I believe there will be municipalities where I recommend postal voting, but these will be isolated cases across Poland
“Analyses from the sanitary inspectorate and other units assessing patient incidence and the number of people in quarantine are currently being compiled. On Friday, I will be able to provide recommendations for the National Electoral Commission (PKW)” – Minister Łukasz Szumowski stated on Jedynka radio.
“I think there will be [municipalities where I recommend postal voting], but these will be isolated municipalities across Poland – those with the highest prevalence of the virus, meaning the highest number of sick individuals and the highest incidence rates” – he added.
08:19
Szumowski:
I am convinced that today's data from Silesia will be significantly lower. In reality, by the end of the week, this influx of data with high infection numbers should already be over.

Budka:
Ziobro, Sasin, and President Duda to Face the State Tribunal
- I stand by what we're saying. Both Zbigniew Ziobro and Minister Sasin will face the State Tribunal for what he did with the elections that did not take place, for illegally spending 70 million PLN – and today, Polish Post trade unionists are announcing a protest because the company is heading for collapse – and for the lack of proper oversight over companies in which the State Treasury holds shares – stated Borys Budka in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- Yes [President Duda also before the State Tribunal] for illegally failing to swear in three legally elected Constitutional Tribunal judges. That's one of the charges. Of course, the list of charges is longer – he continued.

Fogiel:
The Ideology Issue is Essentially Imposed. For Some Candidates, It Can Be a Good Way to Mobilize the Electorate. Biedroń Did Just That Throughout the Debate Yesterday
- The ideology issue is essentially a somewhat imposed topic, and as I say, I have the impression that for some candidates it can be a good way to mobilize the electorate. Besides, Robert Biedroń did just that throughout practically the entire debate yesterday – said Radosław Fogiel in an interview with Marek Pyza on TVP1's 'Political Quarter of an Hour'.
08:45
- MP Czarnek is of course aware that there is an attempt to use him against the campaign, against the candidate, but at the same time we are all aware that his statement is nevertheless being used for unfair attacks. MP Czarnek has repeatedly emphasized that his words referred to a specific case, showing a person in a photograph who behaved in a way that was at least non-standard - said Radosław Fogiel on TVP1.

We Saw How Trzaskowski Was Framed, Shown From the Wrong Camera So He Couldn't Speak to the Viewer
„We saw how Rafał Trzaskowski was framed, that he was shown from the wrong camera so that he couldn't speak to the viewer. Everyone received such information [about which camera to speak to], but then it turned out that the candidate was being filmed from two cameras, and then it turns out that intervention was necessary” - said Cezary Tomczyk, head of Rafał Trzaskowski's campaign and Civic Platform MP, on TOK FM.

Tomczyk:
I called over the floor manager and producer. I showed them how the shot was framed, and curiously, after the fourth question, Trzaskowski was already speaking to the correct camera.
„Yesterday I was on television. I called over the floor manager and producer. I showed them how the shot was framed, and curiously, after the fourth question, Rafał Trzaskowski was already speaking to the correct camera. We have witnessed a whole system of manipulation, which was visible as clearly as day. It is very good that everyone could see it” - said Cezary Tomczyk, head of Rafał Trzaskowski's campaign staff and Civic Coalition MP, in an interview with TOK FM.

Tomczyk:
Not only did they want us to stay at TVP for over 40 minutes after Duda left, but only Duda was allowed to drive onto the premises with people, with volunteers waving signs.
„The best part was at the end. Not only did they want us to stay at TVP for over 40 minutes after Andrzej Duda left, but only Andrzej Duda was allowed to drive onto the premises with people, with volunteers waving signs. All candidates yesterday and all campaign teams yesterday were absolutely outraged because no one was allowed onto TVP premises except for Andrzej Duda's volunteers. This no longer helps, because it is a system that is panicking” - said the head of Rafał Trzaskowski's campaign team, KO MP Cezary Tomczyk, on TOK FM.

Tomczyk:
It's understood the first round of these elections is a kind of primary for the democratic side, but let's conduct it with respect. Personally, I'd vote for Hołownia or Kosiniak-Kamysz if Trzaskowski wasn't in the second round.
“I am very bothered by all opposition attacks – from one, from another, from a third side, it doesn't matter which direction they are heading. You will not hear a single negative word from Rafał Trzaskowski about any of the candidates. Let's remember that Rafał Trzaskowski also employed such a strategy when he had 13%, when he started this race. There are no enemies on the opposition's side, only opponents. It's understood that there is a choice, that the first round of these elections is a kind of primary for the democratic side, but let's do it with respect for the other person, the other candidate. I have no doubts about this. I will say honestly, personally, I don't want to speak on behalf of the president [Trzaskowski]. If Kosiniak-Kamysz or Hołownia were in the second round of the elections, I would cast my vote for those gentlemen, if Rafał Trzaskowski were not there” - said Cezary Tomczyk, head of Rafał Trzaskowski's campaign and a Civic Platform MP, on TOK FM.

The Ministry of Health has reported 314 new cases of coronavirus infection in Poland. Of these, 88 cases were recorded in the Silesian Voivodeship. Additionally, 30 deaths have been attributed to the virus.
This information was disseminated through official channels, with details available via the following links:

- I made a decision, and last night, after the debate, precisely at night, as we were sitting on the cusp of yesterday and today, we met just before midnight, and parted at half-past one. I met with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister came to me, invited urgently, because I said I needed to consult with him and the ministers on this matter, in order to issue directives to the ministers on what needs to be prepared and what needs to be considered before the meeting in Washington. This consultation will take place literally any moment now - said President Andrzej Duda in Opoczno.
11:13
- I believe I have worked diligently these past five years. And I, and all those who participated in building the Polish state during this time. But this process has certainly not been completed, and in my opinion, it should be further advanced. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, to do this, I need another five years, which the constitution allows - said President Andrzej Duda in Opoczno.
11:16
Duda:
Many believe there's a chance to decide the election in the first round. Therefore, we must mobilize to the maximum by June 28th
12:07
Morawiecki:
In our first four years, we've laid the foundation for families to live more dignified lives
- I believe that our pro-family policy, our social policy, has proven that one can interpret his famous saying completely differently. Every happy family is happy in its own individual way, while the source of unhappiness for all families, or for families that are unhappy, is sometimes similar phenomena. Such as poverty, lack of prospects, lack of aid, and support for families. That is why our policy, our pro-family policy, this foundation of our social policy and policy in general – we are in politics to make Poland strong and for Polish families to be strong, lasting, stable, and to live with dignity. This is also the foundation of President Duda's policy, and to the extent we could, to the extent we were able, in these first four years, we have indeed taken care of this foundation so that families can live more dignified lives, to a lesser extent worrying about their basic material existence. Of course, many families still have to worry about this all the time, and we will strive to continue, for the next four years, together with the President, to serve Polish families, all of them, those with one child, those with several children, with two children. All our children, all children are wonderful, beloved - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a meeting of the Association of Large Families “Trzy Plus”.

"I had the impression that the ruling party and public television are completely detached from reality, because we were discussing problems that are not the fundamental, most important problems today, at a time when we are emerging from the epidemic. There was not a word about healthcare, not a word about aid for entrepreneurs, not a word about education, and yet today, when we talk in our families about the fundamental problem, it is the problem of the destruction of education by the ruling party. There was not a word about the natural environment. It appears that public television is completely out of touch, and along with public television, the rulers who decide what questions are asked" - said Rafał Trzaskowski, the Civic Coalition candidate for president and the mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, at a press conference.
12:41
„As President of the Republic, I will primarily ensure that these provisions on [gender] equality are not just on paper, but are implemented in practice. This particularly concerns wages, but also access to healthcare and the fight against violence. We know well that the situation in Poland is very difficult, and we must ensure that all provisions of the anti-violence convention are put into practice. What we discussed most was promoting education, talking to young people about equality and equal opportunities, and ensuring that all our girls know they can achieve absolutely anything in life. We also discussed returning to the labor market, which is fundamental today. Therefore, my program of free nurseries and kindergartens, which we have successfully implemented in Warsaw, I want to expand to the whole of Poland” - said Rafał Trzaskowski, candidate for President of the Republic from Civic Coalition (KO) and Mayor of Warsaw, at a press conference.
12:42
Trzaskowski:
I promise that if I become president, I will naturally establish a Council of Women at the President's office
„We need to ensure that women have just as much say in our social life as men. I promise that if I become President of the Republic of Poland, I will naturally establish a Council of Women at the President's office, and of course, a plenipotentiary, but I will ensure that these are not just symbols and words, but that women truly have a significant voice in the Presidential Chancellery” – said Rafał Trzaskowski, candidate of Civic Coalition for the presidency and Mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, at a press conference.

According to the justification, the presidential bill concerns the granting of a 500 PLN voucher for each child to individuals receiving child-rearing benefits as referred to in the Act on State Support for Child Rearing, intended to finance hotel services or tourist events carried out within the country; and the granting of an additional 500 PLN voucher for each child to individuals raising disabled children.
It can be assumed that the Sejm will address the proposal at tomorrow's session.
15:27
- The following areas have been defined for these talks. First is the issue of defense, meaning the problem of military and allied cooperation directly between Poland and the USA, and within NATO. Second is trade cooperation, meaning both bilateral relations between Poland and the United States, and the issue of US cooperation, partnership within the Three Seas Initiative - said President Andrzej Duda during a press conference.
- Another topic is cooperation in the field of energy, and here it is probably clear to everyone that there are two fundamental areas in which we cooperate. First is the issue of exporting and importing liquefied gas to Poland from the United States - the President continued.
- There is no denying that we also have plans to establish another gas terminal, this time most likely a floating one in the Port of Gdańsk, and in connection with this, naturally, these relations may also take on new dimensions in the future - he added.
- The last of the topics is security in the field of telecommunications. Of course, the development of 5G networks and technological cooperation also between Poland and the USA, and cybersecurity - he stated.
15:36
- The presidential debate should address issues that directly affect the citizens of the Republic of Poland today; these are the topics we should primarily discuss. Therefore, I have approached Zygmunt Solorz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of POLSAT, and Piotr Korycki, President of the Management Board of TVN Discovery Polska, with a request and proposal to organize a debate of the Candidates for the President of the Republic of Poland on their stations' airwaves - Szymon Hołownia announced on Facebook.

The Minister of Development, Jadwiga Emilewicz, addressed Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski on Twitter, questioning his contributions to the fight against the pandemic. She asked if, in addition to opposing government initiatives, he had presented any concrete actions.
The tweet, which included a link to a specific Twitter post from the Mayor, indicated a continuing political debate regarding the pandemic response in Poland. Emilewicz's statement suggests a perceived lack of proactive measures from Trzaskowski's side, particularly in contrast to the actions taken by the central government.
This exchange highlights the ongoing political scrutiny and public discourse surrounding the management of the COVID-19 crisis in Poland, with politicians from opposing camps often engaged in public criticism of each other's strategies and effectiveness.

Here are the results of the presidential poll conducted by Kantar on behalf of TVN:
Andrzej Duda - 40%
Rafał Trzaskowski - 32%
Szymon Hołownia - 10%
Krzysztof Bosak - 7%
Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz - 3%
Robert Biedroń - 2%
undecided - 6%
In the second round, Andrzej Duda would receive 48%, the same as Rafał Trzaskowski.

Duda:
If Local Government Thinks It Can Function Alone, a Pipe Bursts, and It Fails to Inform the Government for 29 Days
- As deputy minister of justice, I simply believed that without the support of central authorities, local government had no chance. Recently, life has shown that this is indeed the case. If local government has this problem, believing it can function on its own and handle everything by itself, then a pipe bursts. And for 29 days, it doesn't inform the government that it cannot fix it. And ladies and gentlemen, 3.5 billion cubic meters of sewage spills into Poland's largest river - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting with local government officials in Tomaszów Mazowiecki.
20:35
20:41
- I think it would be better if this visit [of President Duda to the USA] took place perhaps via video conference, teleconference. I don't know if today, in the era of the pandemic, when quarantine is in effect, borders are still closed, even with our neighbors, when Poles cannot go to work in the Czech Republic, wouldn't it be better to have a video conference - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with Dorota Gawryluk on "Gość Wydarzeń" Polsat News.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

- I presented my program in February. It's on my website. It's a shame that those who joined this race haven't presented their programs to this day. They aren't even on their websites - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
