Bielan on the Tourist Voucher: We Hear Again That the Chamber of Obstruction Does Not Want This Solution. It Shows the Great Problems We Face in Poland When Power is Divided Between Different Political Camps

We would like this act to come into force as quickly as possible, hence the very rapid work in the Presidential Palace, the government, and I think in the Sejm. The Sejm is considering this act at the earliest possible session, but we hear again that the chamber of obstruction, which the Senate has become under PO rule, does not want this solution to be implemented. This shows the great problems [we face in Poland] when power is divided between different political camps, and it shows what would happen if a PO candidate became president. All government initiatives would be blocked. While the Senate can drag out work on an act for up to 30 days, the president can simply veto the act” – said Adam Bielan, MEP from PiS and spokesman for Andrzej Duda's campaign staff, on Jedynka radio.


07:48

Bielan:

Trzaskowski Has a Long History of Fighting the Government as Mayor of Warsaw. If He Became President of Poland, He'd Have Even Greater Opportunities to Block, and He Would Certainly Use Them
“Trzaskowski has a long history of fighting the government as the Mayor of Warsaw. If he became President of Poland, he would have even greater opportunities to block the government’s actions, and he would certainly use them. He himself speaks of ‘burning with an iron,’ he espouses rhetoric of vengeance. Simply put, for at least 3.5 years until the parliamentary elections, there will be conflict, chaos, and paralysis, because the Polish constitution does not divide competencies between the government and the president clearly enough. We will have either overlapping competencies or blocked actions” – said PiS MEP Adam Bielan, spokesperson for Andrzej Duda's campaign team, on Jedynka radio.

07:57

Bielan:

We Shouldn't Worry About Polls Right Now. At This Stage, They No Longer Hold Much Significance

We shouldn't worry about polls right now. At this stage, they no longer hold much significance. The election result on June 28th is what matters. Poles will decide who becomes president” - said Adam Bielan, PiS MEP and spokesperson for Andrzej Duda's campaign team, on Radio Jedynka.


08:13

Karczewski:

Polls Strongly Mobilize Our Electorate

- I'm thinking about the 50% ceiling. I think that these polls you, Madam Editor, are talking about, strongly mobilize our electorate, including our members, supporters, and encourage them to work more intensively - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".


08:14

Karczewski:

PAD will win in the first round. Minimally, with just over 50%

- I believe [in the first round]. All the time… Officially, I'm saying this. I am fully aware of where. Both officially and unofficially, and I can tell you, Madam Editor, the same thing after the cameras are off. I believe [that President Duda can win in the first round]. Do you want to bet? I can bet. I really want the President to win in the first round. It's also a big saving. We can bet. Please do. I believe that President Andrzej Duda will win in the first round. Minimally, with just over 50% - stated Stanisław Karczewski on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".


08:29

Karczewski on Duda-Trump Meeting: PAD Will Discuss Important, Crucial Matters. This is a Great Opportunity, a Chance That Cannot Be Wasted

- No leader, no head of state would refuse an invitation from Donald Trump, where the situation is exceptional. The President [Duda] will discuss very important, crucial matters. This is a great opportunity, a chance that cannot be wasted – stated Stanisław Karczewski on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

- I am surprised by Mr. Trzaskowski's appeal, who says: do not make decisions. How can we not make such important decisions for us, for Poland, for our development? I would only appeal to Mr. Trzaskowski to refrain from making appeals - he continued.


09:04

Grodzki:

Epidemic Management Chaotic from the Start. When Cases Were 200 a Day, We Were Confined to Homes; Now Nearly 500 Cases, Restrictions Eased.

- The management of this epidemic has been chaotic from the very beginning. First, there was talk that China was far away, then senators were supposed to put ice in their underwear, then masks were completely useless, then masks are worn mandatorily. When there were 200 cases a day, we were locked in our homes for good; now there are nearly 500 cases a day, and restrictions have been relaxed. There is no order or coherence in this – said Tomasz Grodzki in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

- Only now have we started testing people, and the stories about how prepared we were for the pandemic should be dismissed as fairy tales. We were completely unprepared, and in the early stages of the pandemic, we managed it in complete chaos – added the Marshal of the Senate.


09:11

Grodzki:

We'll Likely Pay a High Price for President Duda's Trip. There's an American Saying: There Are No Free Lunches
- We will probably have to pay a lot for this trip of Mr. President Duda. In America, there's a saying that there are no free lunches. If Mr. President Duda is throwing a lifeline to President Trump, or vice versa, it won't be for free. Every time President Duda goes to America, it costs all of us taxpayers a lot of money – Tomasz Grodzki said on TVN24.

09:18

Grodzki on Second Round Support: Talks with Konfederacja are being conducted by both Duda's campaign and representatives from our side

- Conversations aimed at convincing voters who cast their ballots for other candidates in the first round, and whom we want to vote for President Trzaskowski in the second round, are being held in the privacy of offices, not necessarily in the spotlight - said Tomasz Grodzki on TVN24.

- Personally with Krzysztof Bosak, I don't know, but as far as I am aware, talks with Konfederacja are being conducted by both President Duda's campaign and by representatives from our side - added the Marshal of the Senate.

First Sitting Prime Minister Visits Krakow City Hall. PM Meets with Majchrowski

Yesterday, a meeting took place in Krakow between Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Mayor Majchrowski. According to our sources, the discussion focused on future investments in Krakow that can be implemented through cooperation between the government and local authorities. One of the Prime Minister's close associates emphasizes that this is the first sitting Prime Minister to visit Krakow City Hall.




10:19

Trzaskowski:

Today Poland Has One Million Unemployed, So We Must Fight for Every Job and Stimulate Investments Here and Now, Close to Us

Today Poland has one million unemployed, and therefore we must fight for every job and stimulate investments, but not large investments that may materialize in a few years, or perhaps not, but investments here and now, close to us, which are needed by cities like Włocławek. That is why I have the idea for regional development centers,” – said Rafał Trzaskowski, candidate of Civic Coalition for president and mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, in Włocławek.


10:21

Trzaskowski:

We Won't Let Them Take Away Our Pride in the Last 30 Years

It is thanks to your work that Włocławek can change for the better today, thanks to you, thanks to local government officials. What I want to tell you is that we will not let them take away our pride in the last 30 years. We will not let them take away the pride in the hard work you have done” – said Rafał Trzaskowski, KO candidate for president and Mayor of Warsaw, in Włocławek.

Cichocki Writes to Brudziński: A Perfect Opportunity for Civic Debate on Poland's Most Important Issues Arises in Białystok. I Propose Both Our Candidates Jointly Answer Voters' Questions

- This coming Saturday, June 20th, at the same time on the market square in Białystok, presidential candidate Szymon Hołownia and President Andrzej Duda will be meeting with voters. Thus, a perfect opportunity arises for a civic debate on the most important issues for Poland. I propose that both our candidates jointly answer voters' questions. Such a debate would demonstrate that it is possible to discuss matters important to our citizens without shouting each other down at rallies - wrote Szymon Hołownia's campaign manager Jacek Cichocki in a letter to Andrzej Duda's campaign manager Joachim Brudziński.

Hołownia Announces 24-Hour Live Coverage of His Campaign:

Would You Like to Spend a Day in a Presidential Campaign?

- Would you like to spend a day in a presidential campaign? Feel the campaign emotions, travel across Poland in a camper van, and peek behind the scenes of the campaign? Now you can! - Hołownia wrote on his Facebook page.
 
- This coming Saturday, June 20th, at 12:30 PM, a 24-hour non-stop live broadcast from the campaign will begin. Yes - 24 hours of continuous live coverage. From the road, from my hometown, from places that are personally important - and not only - the candidate added.

In the previous presidential campaign, Andrzej Duda's team opted for a similar 24-hour campaign stunt. 


10:53

Biedroń:

Beyond Taking a Selfie, Is PAD Even Prepared for a US Visit? How Much Will Poland Pay? How Much Will It Cost Us?

- As the Left and I, as a presidential candidate, would like to ask from this place, how were the preparations for this visit conducted, what is the purpose of this visit, and beyond taking a selfie, a photo, is President Duda even prepared for this visit? How much will Poland pay for it, how much will it cost us? And these are the fundamental questions we are asking today as the Left, as a presidential candidate - stated Robert Biedroń at a briefing in front of the Presidential Palace.


10:57

Biedroń Presents Draft Bills on Civil Partnerships and Marriage Equality, Appeals to Other Candidates for Clear Declarations

- I would like to present two draft bills. The first bill concerns the regulation of civil partnerships. This is a bill on civil partnerships, which has been introduced to the Polish parliament in various forms numerous times, but has been rejected each time. However, the second bill, which today ensures that all citizens of our country will have equal rights when it comes to marriage, is the bill on marriage equality. This is a historic bill, never before submitted in the history of Polish parliamentarism. The bill was prepared by the "Love Does Not Exclude" organization, to whom I would like to sincerely thank for your hard work - stated Robert Biedroń at a briefing in front of the Presidential Palace.

- I would like to ask my colleagues running in the presidential elections not to bury their heads in the sand on this matter. To clearly and distinctly declare which side they stand on, because this is the moment for declaration - he continued.

- If we are for equality, for the Constitution, then dear Szymon, dear Rafał, support the marriage equality bill today, because every democrat, male and female, should stand on the side of equality today - emphasized the Left candidate.

Sobolewski:

Filed Election Lawsuit Against Presidential Candidate Rafał Trzaskowski Over One of His Recent Campaign Lies

- I want to inform you that just a moment ago, on behalf of the electoral committee of presidential candidate Andrzej Duda, we filed an election lawsuit against presidential candidate Rafał Trzaskowski for one of the several lies he managed to utter recently during the election campaign. I also want to immediately note that I will not specify which one at this moment, as I do not want to make their job any easier – stated Krzysztof Sobolewski at a press briefing.

- We demand a correction of the untrue information, a lie that Rafał Trzaskowski uttered at one of his election rallies, and the publication of these corrections in the media where those words resonated from that election rally – he continued.


12:10

Trzaskowski:

Farmers and the countryside have received no concrete aid, despite this being an absolute priority for the government. Even last year's drought payments haven't been fully disbursed.

Farmers and the countryside have received no concrete aid, despite this being an absolute priority for the government. I keep saying that many societal groups have been left to fend for themselves. It must also be clearly stated that the government has abandoned farmers with their problems. Even last year's drought payments haven't been fully disbursed, that's what I'm hearing here. The government promised that 3% of GDP would go to rural Poland. They also promised to equalize direct payments, and of course, direct payments have not been equalized” - said Rafał Trzaskowski, the Civic Coalition's presidential candidate and the mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, in Poddębice.


12:14

Trzaskowski:

I Propose a Concrete Disaster Relief Program So Farmers Can Count on Support in Difficult Situations

I propose a concrete anti-crisis program precisely in the event of disasters, meaning a disaster relief program, so that farmers can count on support in such difficult situations. Today, we are constantly talking about the fact that, unfortunately, the feeling is that despite numerous promises, the government has left farmers to fend for themselves in this difficult situation. We are absolutely and decisively against such a situation” - said Rafał Trzaskowski, candidate for president from Civic Coalition (KO) and Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw, in Poddębice.


12:20

Trzaskowski on PiS's Electoral Lawsuit: 'Another Absurdity. The Rulers File a Lawsuit and Don't Even Inform Us What It's About'

"This is another absurdity. The rulers are filing a lawsuit and haven't even informed us what this lawsuit is about. I've never heard of such a situation before. It shows that there is simply absolute, total chaos in the ranks of the rulers, that they can't even decide what kind of lawsuit they want to file" - said Rafał Trzaskowski, the Civic Coalition's presidential candidate and Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw, in Poddębice.


12:25

President Duda: I Appeal to Buy Polish Products as Much as Possible

- First and foremost, the demand is clear. I have no doubt that there is a need for greater promotion of Polish products and increased availability of Polish products for our potential buyers. What does that mean? First and foremost, these words are directed to all my countrymen, all consumers. Ladies and gentlemen, I appeal to you to try to buy Polish products as much as possible - said President Andrzej Duda in Pińczów.

Trzaskowski at a Rally in Ciechocinek During a Downpour: 'Today I Have a Very Small Umbrella, But If I Become President, I Will Have a Huge Umbrella and Will Shield Everyone With It'

One thing I promise you. Today I have a very small umbrella, but if I become president, I will have a huge umbrella and will shield everyone with it” – said Rafał Trzaskowski, candidate for the Civic Coalition (KO) for president and the mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, in Ciechocinek.

I will not win alone. I will only win if you help me, only together” – he added. 


13:55

President Duda: Justice is More Than Just the Judiciary, and Equal Treatment Isn't What Some Now Shout For, Demanding Minority Rule Over the Majority

- If Poland is to be a truly equally developed state, if it is to be as written in the Polish constitution, if Poland is to be a just state, then justice is not only the judiciary, and equal treatment is not only what some are now shouting about lately, demanding minority rule over the majority, but above all, justice means that an appropriate measure will be applied everywhere so that one can live and function normally - said President Andrzej Duda in Jędrzejów.


13:58

Duda:

Today, after the last five years, we are one of the US's best allies, as evidenced by President Trump's invitation

- I want to deepen our alliance with the United States. Much has been achieved over the last 30 years. Today, after the last five years, we are certainly one of the US's best allies, as evidenced by the invitation I have now received from President Donald Trump – said President Andrzej Duda in Jędrzejów.


14:01

Duda:

Above All, I Want to Achieve One Thing: That You in Our Country Earn as Much as They Earn in Wealthy Western European Countries

- First and foremost, I want to achieve one thing: that you in our country earn as much as they earn in wealthy Western European countries. I am convinced that this is possible. We have made an unprecedented change in our country over the last five years – said President Andrzej Duda in Jędrzejów. 


14:06

Duda:

The Family Must Be Based on Its Most Important Foundation: Tradition. This Tradition Must Be Guarded, and We Cannot Allow It to Be Taken Away. We Cannot Allow Pseudo-Modernity to Be Imposed.
The state must care for the family, and this family must be based on its most important foundation, namely tradition. This tradition must be guarded, and we cannot allow it to be taken away. We cannot allow pseudo-modernity to be imposed in this regard. We know perfectly well what allowed us to survive the most difficult moments in our history. It was the family that allowed us to survive, a family that had children, that raised these children in Polishness, sometimes quietly teaching Polish history, saying who is a hero and who is a traitor – said President Andrzej Duda in Jędrzejów.

14:54

PM Morawiecki: Poland Played a Constructive Role at the European Council, Taking a Step Forward

- Today, Poland played a very constructive role during the negotiations, as this European Council should be interpreted. We have certainly taken a step forward. This was another stage of negotiations regarding the great European recovery fund and the significant fund intended to support the multiannual financial framework. Poland integrates several points of view, and it is important that Southern Europe views this crisis differently, as do several very frugal countries – the wealthiest, incidentally, smaller countries of Western and Northern Europe, and Central Europe. Poland is striving to integrate and reconcile several perspectives. We are succeeding quite well in this. The fact that we have certainly taken a step forward today is also connected to our proposing new, interesting solutions based on new own resources, but progressive from the perspective of Central Europe. This means, for example, a levy on large international corporations for using the single market rules, i.e., for being able to sell their products and services to consumers on the single market, but also, for instance, a financial transaction tax, where it is known that Western markets are much more financially developed. Therefore, they should pay more into the EU budget – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.


14:54

PMM:

Today the EU Needs a Strong and Swift Response. We Cannot Waste Time on Protracted Negotiations

- Today the EU needs a strong and swift response. We cannot waste time on protracted negotiations, which is why I propose certain compromises, where it seems Poland is precisely at the central point where perspectives and different viewpoints intersect. Our economy is holding up very strongly. Comparing our economic data to what is happening in Western Europe, for instance, as recently reported by GUS or Eurostat, we can be optimistic - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

- Today we are talking about new funds from the upcoming EU budget perspective. Combined with the European Recovery Plan, amounting to even around 160 billion euros, this is over 700 billion PLN for the next few years, which can support economic development, economic recovery after the coronavirus, and support economic recovery after the coronavirus - he continued.


15:40

PMM:

I have great hopes for PAD's visit to the USA. It is a very good, important visit, another meeting between President Duda and President Trump

- I have great hopes for this visit [of the President to the USA]. It is a very good, important visit, another meeting between President Duda and President Trump. We know that we have advanced discussions regarding defense, but also technological cooperation. The President, with whom I spoke yesterday, also told me about his plans, about his proposals regarding attracting additional American investments, and specifically those involving highly advanced technology, and this is an excellent plan. Today here in Poland, we need exactly this, and that is why I am also pleased that one of the important, one of the important analytical institutions presenting foreign direct investment has shown that Poland is number 1 in the world in attracting these investments over the past few months - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

PAD Committee Demands Trzaskowski Retract Statement About Nearly a Million Job Losses in Poland
Today at 10:30 AM, I filed a motion with the District Court in Warsaw. At that time, I said that I would not discuss the subject of the motion, partly to avoid making things easier for our competitors, our rival Rafał Trzaskowski. I learned that some journalists were wondering which of the untrue statements might have been the subject of the motion, our lawsuit, one could say, to the court – stated Krzysztof Sobolewski at a press briefing. - I want to quote what we are demanding as the electoral committee of presidential candidate Andrzej Duda from Rafał Trzaskowski. We demand a retraction of the following statement: I, the undersigned Rafał Trzaskowski, declare that on June 14, 2020, during a meeting with voters in the market square in Wrocław, I disseminated untrue information, claiming that in Poland, almost a million people have recently lost their jobs. And this is what we have submitted as our motion to the court. In addition, we will demand the publication of this retraction, of course, if the court grants our motion, in the media where this information, this quote from the rally, appeared. According to our calculations, there were at least 10 media institutions, both electronic and print – he continued.

17:44

Trzaskowski in Bydgoszcz to PAD Supporters: We Hear Trumpets. Trumpets Are Okay Now, Because I'm Speaking, But During the National Anthem It's a Bit Weak. But I Greet Everyone.

"I wanted to warmly welcome all of you, and also welcome the supporters of Andrzej Duda, whom we can hear somewhere behind us. We also hear trumpets. No need to whistle. Trumpets are okay now, because I'm speaking, but during the national anthem it's a bit weak. But I greet everyone" - said Rafał Trzaskowski, the KO candidate for president and the mayor of Warsaw, in Bydgoszcz.

Ministry of Health: Szumowski Transmitted Recommendations for Postal Elections in Two Municipalities Exclusively to the National Electoral Commission. Baranów (Wielkopolskie Voivodeship) and Marklowice (Silesian Voivodeship)

The Ministry of Health (MZ) has reported that former Minister of Health Łukasz Szumowski forwarded recommendations to the National Electoral Commission (PKW) concerning postal voting exclusively in two municipalities: Baranów in the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship and Marklowice in the Silesian Voivodeship.

This information was shared via the official Twitter account of the Ministry of Health.

The tweets provided:

The context surrounding these recommendations likely pertains to decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding the organization of elections.


18:04

Trzaskowski at a rally in Bydgoszcz to a group of PAD supporters: I am not your enemy. I am a person who wants to talk to everyone. You watch too much television that calls itself public.

I am not your enemy. I am a person who wants to talk to everyone. You watch too much television that calls itself public. It rarely happens, but I do sometimes meet someone on the street who starts asking me. 'Mr. Rafał, what are you doing?' I ask: 'What television do you watch?' Then it turns out it's the television that calls itself public. 'Do I really look so terrible? Do I really speak in a language you don't understand?' A conversation begins, and at the end it's: 'You know what, maybe not, maybe you're perfectly normal.'  I say: 'Well, you see, maybe you should switch channels? Maybe you should smile at each other?' Maybe, ladies and gentlemen, we need to demand that public [television] debate focuses on issues like fighting climate change, about every job, and not asking 'Why is Trzaskowski holding his ear?'. A little seriousness, because this is our money” - said Rafał Trzaskowski, KO candidate for president and Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw, in Bydgoszcz.


18:31

Duda:

Today You Don't Have to Work Until 67, You Have the Right to Retire. That's the Difference. If Someone Talks About Freedom, Freedom Is Now

- We live in Poland, where nowadays, especially at every turn, people refer to the constitution, particularly those who protest the most. It's a pity, however, that when they had the opportunity to wield power in Poland, no one supported families the way it's happening today. Where was Article 18 of the constitution then? Couldn't they read it? That the Polish state in a special way cares for and protects family, motherhood, marriage, and parenthood. After all, this provision is also unequivocal that the family is to be supported by the Polish state. Was it supported back then when they laughed that one could eat sorrel and mirabelles, and they said this about children, about whom it was known that they went hungry, that 800,000 children in Poland were hungry? Really? Was that respecting the constitution then? Was that respecting fundamental constitutional rights? The constitution is only now being implemented and only now is it being observed. If only because we lowered the retirement age they had raised - said President Andrzej Duda in Kielce.

- Today, you do not have an obligation to work until the age of 67, you only have the right to retire, women at 60, and men at 65. The right to retire, and whoever wants to can continue working. That's the difference. If someone talks about freedom, then freedom is now. If someone talks about respecting citizens' rights, then these citizens' rights are being respected right now, as a result of decisions that I have pushed through - added the President.


18:39

President Duda Questions Opposition's Inaction on VAT Fraud: "Were They Not Intelligent Enough or Simply Unwilling?"

- Someone please explain to me, ladies and gentlemen, if it turned out that reforming the National Revenue Administration (KAS) and making a few legal changes was not that difficult, indeed not very difficult, to prevent this gigantic VAT theft, then what? Were today's opposition, who were in power then, not intelligent enough to do it? Or perhaps they just didn't feel like it? - President Andrzej Duda said in Kielce.


18:44

President Duda: Judges Must Live Impeccably, or Change Professions
“It is precisely judges who must be the first to abide by the law. They are to be exemplars of the rule of law. People observe them, after all, they also live in society. They are your neighbours. You know them, especially in smaller towns, perhaps not here in Kielce, a large city. But in smaller towns, everyone knows the judges. They observe them daily. They are to be social role models. They must live in such a way that nothing can be held against them, and if not, then please, change professions, if one is not undertaking it,” – said President Andrzej Duda in Kielce.

18:51

Hołownia:

As President, I Would Sign a Ban on Fur Farming, I Will Advocate for a Ban on Bird Hunting. We Will Introduce Legislative Changes So That a Horror Like the One in Radysy Does Not Repeat.
- As president, I would sign a ban on fur farming, and I will advocate for a ban on bird hunting. We will introduce legislative changes so that a horror like the one in Radysy does not repeat. If this doesn't change, we will have an even bigger problem with shelters, from which someone will again try to make a decent income. These are dogs taken from that slaughterhouse, in such a terrible condition due to human neglect, that you cannot turn this into a business venture - said Szymon Hołownia during a briefing at a Warsaw shelter.

18:51

Head of the Paluch Shelter: Not Everyone Has the Courage to Adopt a Shelter Animal, Especially a Difficult One Requiring Work
- At the sight of the Hołownia couple, the dog ran away, but they were not discouraged and kept coming back for three months, taking him for walks, building a relationship with him, until they could finally take him home. Not everyone has the courage to adopt from a shelter, especially a difficult dog that requires work, and not everyone is able to dedicate three months to regularly visit the shelter and build a relationship with the dog. The Hołownia couple did just that - said the head of the Paluch shelter during Szymon Hołownia's briefing. - Thank you for that memory, because working with Grafit was not easy. He was a dog that caught our eye from the very beginning precisely because he had his own character, because he looked defiantly at everyone who passed his kennel. Other dogs would jump, bark, try to get attention, but he watched with distance and superiority, as if he wanted to show that we had to earn a relationship with him, not the other way around. We had to spend countless hours with Grafit in his kennel. And when he came to us, we thought he would live outside, because he was a dog who had never been inside a building, but he ended up living with us at home. Incidentally, by visiting Grafit, we met another dog who was surrendered for the May long weekend four years ago, and this was his second time at Paluch. We've now been together for four years. It's become a family tradition; my in-laws and parents each have two dogs. Grafit ran away from us in the forest, scared by a herd of wild boars, and it took five days of searching the woods until we finally got him back thanks to a Facebook campaign - said Hołownia.

Hołownia:

Following the Example of President Lech Kaczyński, as He Was the Only President to Hold Such an Office, I Wish to Announce That Barbara Borzymowska Will Become Plenipotentiary for Animal Rights Protection at the Presidential Palace
- Our level of sensitivity and awareness regarding animal welfare is growing, and this is something the president should pay attention to. Therefore, following the example of President Lech Kaczyński, as he was the only president to hold such an office, I wish to announce that Barbara Borzymowska will assume this position. For 11 years, she has been creating a unique place in the Wrocław city hall: the Center for Friendly Human-Animal Relations. Therefore, immediately after the elections, I will reactivate the position of Plenipotentiary for Animal Rights Protection, created by Lech Kaczyński – Basia will become that plenipotentiary - said Szymon Hołownia.

Trzaskowski:

If I Become President, I Will Veto Any Law Raising the Retirement Age. Don't Be Fooled by Public Television; We Listen to Poles and This Decision Should Be Left to Them.

The lesson is clear. I want to state clearly here that we must create clear conditions for people to work in Poland, for this work to be rewarding, for it to be worthwhile to work as long as possible, but I also want to state clearly that if I become President of the Republic of Poland, I will veto any law that seeks to raise the retirement age. Do not be fooled by what public television says, because we learn, we listen to Polish women and men, and today this decision – who wants to work for how long – must be left in the hands of citizens, but appropriate conditions must be created for this, and this requires respect for work, which is so lacking today, and we have had enough of this too” - said Rafał Trzaskowski, candidate for president from Civic Coalition (KO) and Mayor of Warsaw, in Bydgoszcz.

Siemoniak:

Trzaskowski's Important Declaration on Retirement Age. We've Been Saying for Years: Nothing Given Will Be Taken Away

- An important declaration by Rafał Trzaskowski [on retirement age], which I hope will cut through the narrative of President Duda's campaign, who presents himself as the sole defender of social matters. We've been saying for years: nothing given will be taken away. This applies to 500+, the retirement age, childbirth allowances, and various other things. While we may differ politically from President Duda on some points, this is about people, citizens. No one can be harmed here, and Rafał Trzaskowski says this very clearly. President Duda, in his campaign, is flitting between investments, water reservoirs, and accusing the opposition of wanting to take anything away from anyone. It's very good that this is being voiced by Rafał Trzaskowski before the elections - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in a conversation with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


19:48

Siemoniak on Raising the Retirement Age: We Need Different Solutions. It Was a Mistake Then, and We Won't Repeat It. We Paid a High Political Price and We're Drawing Conclusions. We're Not Like PiS, Who Never Make Mistakes and Always Succeed

- Many years have passed. We are wiser from various experiences, including people's assessments. Simply put, we need different pension solutions, and that's clear, and we admit: it was a mistake then, and we will not repeat that mistake. We paid a high political price and we are drawing conclusions. We are not like PiS, who never make mistakes and always achieve successes - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

Szydło:

The President is in good shape and has so much energy that I am calm

- Day by day, the whole team is gaining more strength, and energy is carrying us along. We're having fantastic meetings here today in the Świętokrzyskie region: Pińczów, Jędrzejów, Kielce. Truly a wonderful atmosphere. Above all, the most important thing is that the President is in good shape and has so much energy that I am calm – said Beata Szydło in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program “Gość Wiadomości” on Polsat News.


19:58

Szydło:

Isn't it hypocritical for Trzaskowski to say he'll never sign a bill raising the retirement age, when he was a minister in the PO-PSL government that did just that?
- I will ask such a question to Chairman Trzaskowski, the chairman of Civic Platform. Isn't it hypocritical that he says today that as president he will never sign a bill that raises the retirement age, and this is said by a man who was, after all, a minister in the Civic Platform and PSL government, which extended this age without giving public opinion any reason - said Beata Szydło on Polsat News.

20:07

Szydło:

Social Programs Introduced by Our Government, Initiated by the President, Have Indeed Improved the Economic Situation of Polish Families. These Facts Cannot Be Drowned Out by Shouts of 'We've Had Enough'

- If Rafał Trzaskowski truly listened to Poles, not just those in big cities, not just those who were doing well when the Civic Platform was in power, in the circles where he primarily operated as a Civic Platform politician, but if he listened to those Poles who, like today here in Świętokrzyskie, in Pińczów, Jędrzejów, are actually testifying that thanks to programs beyond just 500 plus, which is obviously the most important, flagship one, but indeed all social, pro-family programs introduced by our government over these five years, initiated by the President, have indeed improved the economic situation of Polish families, these are facts. These facts cannot be drowned out by shouts of 'We've had enough' – said Beata Szydło on Polsat News.

Bosak on TVP: 'I'd like to thank you for the invitation, because it's a historic one. After 5 years of PiS rule, for the first time someone from the independent right is a guest on this program.'

"I'd like to thank you for the invitation, because it's a historic invitation [to TVP]. After 5 years of PiS rule, for the first time someone from the independent right is a guest on this program. I'd like to greet all voters of Konfederacja and supporters of the ideological right from the conservative-liberal, libertarian milieu," said Krzysztof Bosak, Konfederacja's presidential candidate, in a conversation with Danuta Holecka on TVP Info's 'Gość Wiadomości'.


20:30

Bosak on Grodzki's Statement About Talks with Konfederacja: There Are No Such Talks. It's a Lie

"Regarding Marshal Grodzki's statement, it is a lie. There are no such talks. Marshal Grodzki also spoke about a conversation with the PiS staff. It seems to me that these are complete fabrications," stated Krzysztof Bosak, the Konfederacja presidential candidate, on TVP Info.


20:30

Bosak on Support for Trzaskowski in the Second Round: Wilk Expressed His Private Opinion, Which is an Expression of Immense Irritation with the Governing Party's Style of Rule
"Jacek Wilk was not speaking on behalf of Konfederacja. Jacek Wilk expressed his private opinion, which is an expression of immense irritation with the governing party's style of rule. Marshal Grodzki's statement was immediately refuted on his Twitter profile, simply calling it a lie. There were no such conversations, nor will there be, because there is no need for any such conversations. It is rather the politicians of PiS and Civic Platform who should consider whom they will want to support in the second round of the presidential election, should the Polish people choose me for that second round" – said Krzysztof Bosak, Konfederacja's presidential candidate, on TVP Info.

20:31

Bosak:

If Americans See Their Strategic Interests in Defense Cooperation with Poland, We Shouldn't Pay Millions of Dollars for It

"The situation in which our authorities are currently negotiating, where the Americans demanded hefty fees for the presence of these troops, or even worse – our side offered to pay millions of dollars for it, a situation where the Americans requested that allied troops be exempt from Polish law, is an unfavorable situation for us. If Americans see their strategic interests also in defense cooperation with Poland, then we should not pay millions of dollars for such cooperation. It should simply be allied cooperation," said Krzysztof Bosak, Confederation's presidential candidate, on TVP Info.


20:31

Bosak:

Duda's Washington Visit is More of a Favor the White House is Doing for the President on the Home Stretch of His Campaign

"I think President Andrzej Duda's visit is more of a favor the White House is doing for the president on the home stretch of his election campaign, so he can appear in the company of the American president. I don't think any significant decisions will be made there" - said Krzysztof Bosak, the Confederation's presidential candidate, on TVP Info.

Kukiz:

Phasing the Voucher This Way Means an MP Earning 8,000 PLN with Two Children Gets 1,000 PLN, While an Elderly Person with a 1,200 PLN Gross Pension Gets Nothing
- Phasing the voucher this way means an MP earning 8,000 PLN with two children will receive 1,000 PLN, while an elderly person with a 1,200 PLN gross pension will not get a single grosz. I am generally an enemy of socialism, but of socialism that is purely electoral; throwing scraps just before elections is simply disgusting. It's hard to treat this in any categories - said Paweł Kukiz.

20:32

Bosak:

Duda Should Openly State in the White House What He's Never Said Outside Poland: Poland Will Not Pay Any Unlawful Property Claims from Jewish Circles in the USA

If something important could be said there [in the White House], President Andrzej Duda should openly state what he has never said outside of Poland, what he has never said in English, namely that Poland will not pay any unlawful property claims from Jewish circles in the United States, and that we will not respect the American law 447, which calls on us to implement the so-called Terezin Declaration on the return of so-called ownerless property” – said Krzysztof Bosak, a Confederation candidate for president, on TVP Info.


20:35

Kukiz on Kosiniak's Poll Numbers: 'Remember What My Poll Results Were in 2015. Today, It's Cemented by the System, Electoral Law, Media, and Money'
"Please recall what my poll results were in 2015," Paweł Kukiz said on the program "Kropka nad i" when asked about the poll numbers for Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, whom he supports. "It is cemented by the system, electoral law, media, and money. One of the mainstream candidates would have to run over a nun in a crosswalk for this to change," Kukiz stated.

20:36

Kukiz on the 'Witch Hunt' Against LGBT: 'What You Wanted to Kill With Will Kill You,' He Tells PiS. 'You Cannot Humiliate and Despise Another Human Being.'
"What you wanted to kill with will kill you, and I'm directing this towards PiS. You cannot humiliate and despise another human being. I won't be drawn into these disputes by either PiS or PO about sexual orientation and making it the number one topic. I used to cooperate with the LAMBDA association and know these circles very well, but today I am irritated by the loudness of this environment, yet one cannot react with aggression and humiliate another person," Paweł Kukiz said on Kropka nad I.

20:39

Kukiz:

Brutality Stems from Poland's Proportional Representation System, Enabling Minorities to Rule Majorities and Exercise Absolute Power
- Brutality stems from the party system in Poland based on proportional representation, which allows a minority to rule a majority and possess instruments for exercising absolute power. If you add to this the character traits of the party leader or leaders, we will see increasing brutality. The key is what WKK proposes, and previously I, and even earlier Wincenty Witos – single-member constituencies and a Member of Parliament accountable to the voter, not the party leader - said Paweł Kukiz on Kropka nad I.

20:41

Kukiz on Duda's Veto of European Regulations at His Request: It was a Package Deal, It Also Concerned the Judiciary
- It was a package deal, it also concerned the judiciary. The President had no reservations about agreeing with Kaczyński on setting the signature collection deadline to three weeks - said Paweł Kukiz.

20:43

Kukiz:

In 2015 I Didn't Go to the Second Round, and Similarly Now, If Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz Doesn't Reach It and No Candidate Accepts My Demands, I Won't Participate
"In 2015 I didn't go to the second round, and similarly now, if Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz doesn't reach it and no candidate accepts the demands that are crucial to me – the demands for systemic changes – then I will not go to the polls in the second round," said Paweł Kukiz on Kropka nad I.
