Błaszczak on Poland's Weather Situation: Military Aid Needed. Soldiers from Małopolska Territorial Defense Brigade Deployed on Sunday
There is such a need [for military aid], and appropriate decisions have already been made. Soldiers from the Małopolska brigade of the Territorial Defense Force were deployed on Sunday. Voivodeship crisis management teams decide whether such a need exists. President Andrzej Duda participated in a meeting of the Małopolska crisis management team - said Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Piotr Gocek on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on Polskie Radio Jedynka.

Biedroń:

Voters Have Their Own Minds in the Second Round and Will Make Independent Decisions; No Matter How Many "Platformer" Campaigners, Grzegorz Schetynas, or Tomasz Liszes Try to Blackmail Us, The Left Has Its Own Mind and Will Make Rational Decisions

- I haven't said anything like that [regarding support]. I am open to talks. I invite Rafał Trzaskowski. Let's sit down and talk about our vision for Poland, about what Rafał Trzaskowski has to offer. Similarly, I would like to talk with Andrzej Duda. Both of them are canceling further debates. There was supposed to be a debate at your place on TVN, on Polsat. These candidates canceled them. We can't buy a pig in a poke. We need to know what views these candidates hold. I am happy to talk; I am a man of dialogue. Left-wing voters expect to have the opportunity to vote for their candidate in the first round, and I ask for their votes for that. In the second round, voters have their own minds and will make independent decisions. No matter how many "platformer" campaigners, Grzegorz Schetynas, or Tomasz Liszes try to blackmail us, The Left has its own mind and will make rational decisions - stated Robert Biedroń in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


08:06

Biedroń:

Two Candidates Are Avoiding the Debate
I would primarily like to meet with all these candidates, just like, I believe, my other colleagues would, but there are two candidates who are avoiding this debate. It's astonishing. How do they expect to reach the second round, how do they expect to count on the support of Polish women and men, if they don't want to talk to Poles, if they avoid these conversations? - stated Robert Biedroń in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

08:15

Biedroń:

Duda is Heading Across the Pond While We Have a Flood Here. I Expect the President to Cancel His Visit and Convene the National Security Council.

- Today I have a series of meetings, we are discussing these terrible floods, downpours, this climate catastrophe we are facing. Unlike President Duda, who is heading across the pond, and we have a flood right here today. Moreover, I expect President Duda to cancel this visit, to not go to the USA, because we have a truly difficult situation today. I expect him to convene the RBN [National Security Council], for us to meet and discuss what is happening in Poland – stated Robert Biedroń in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


08:17

Sikorski:

This Campaign is Strange – All Candidates Pretend the President Rules Poland

- I think this whole campaign is a bit strange in the sense that all candidates are pretending the president rules Poland. Meanwhile, we know that the head of the executive power in Poland is the Prime Minister, and it's the government that rules Poland, not the president – said Radosław Sikorski in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia ZET".


08:26

Sikorski:

I hope Trzaskowski's victory will be just the beginning. Let's recall, the ruling party has a very slim parliamentary majority, just a few MPs.
I hope that Rafał Trzaskowski's victory will be just the beginning. Let's recall, the ruling party has a very slim parliamentary majority, just a few MPs, so what happened to Jarosław Kaczyński in 2007 might happen again – said Radosław Sikorski on Radio ZET.

08:30

Hołownia:

Just as Kukiz Doubled His Poll Numbers in the Last 7 Days Before the Election, I'm Convinced We'll Land Between 20% and 30%

We know enough about how the citizens of the Republic of Poland work during a campaign, not various Warsaw circles. I also know that the mobilization is truly full. Just as Kukiz managed to double his poll results in the last 7 days before the election, achieving a real result above 20%, so I am convinced that we will land between 20 and 30, in a good place” - said presidential candidate Szymon Hołownia in an interview with Jan Wróbel on Radio TOK FM's Morning program. 


08:32

Sikorski on Trump and Duda: They Want to Show Supporters They Aren't Internationally Isolated. A Blind Man Will Lead the Deaf

- The gentlemen are in trouble. Trump is far behind Joe Biden. President Duda's dynamics are also bad, as polls already show Trzaskowski ahead of him, so they want to show their supporters that they are not as internationally isolated as they are. They need each other here. A blind man will lead the deaf - said Radosław Sikorski on Radio ZET.


09:10

Nitras:

I hope we will present healthcare proposals in Lublin. The comprehensive program will be shown on Wednesday or Thursday.

- Rafał Trzaskowski has presented a great many program assumptions in this campaign, and from the very beginning, he decided that he would present individual assumptions. Today, in the Lublin region, we had, I don't know if we will manage it, I hope we will manage to present his healthcare proposals in Lublin, which is also partly, because after all, he was the first to talk about 6% of GDP. And tomorrow in Podkarpacie, he will present further elements. However, from the outset, we assumed that we would show the comprehensive program at the end of this campaign. I would expect, after this announcement, perhaps on Thursday, or maybe even tomorrow, the comprehensive program will be presented. - stated Sławomir Nitras in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


09:15

Nitras:

Trzaskowski's Activity Is Modifying Other Candidates' Programs. See How Mr. Duda Abandoned His Major Investments for Local Ones

- Trzaskowski's activity is modifying other candidates' programs. See how Mr. Duda abandoned his major investments for local ones. Why? Because it was Rafał Trzaskowski's project. This is a very fundamental point of Trzaskowski's program - stated Sławomir Nitras in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

Trzaskowski Decides Warsaw Shelter Will Accept 100 Stray Dogs from Radysy "Slaughterhouse": Our Shelter Currently Has a Record Low Number of Residents
"Due to the dire situation at the shelter in Radysy, I have decided that we will offer to take in 100 stray dogs from there to the Paluch Shelter. Our shelter currently has a record low number of residents, so we will easily find space for the animals in need," announced the Mayor of Warsaw on Twitter.

PMM at RKS Skra Stadium: A Beautiful Athletics Stadium Was Supposed to Be Built. To Trzaskowski's Two Names, Laziness and Lies, We Must Add Incompetence

- This view here behind us, it's not a view from some disaster movie, but we are in the heart of Warsaw. In a place where, according to Rafał Trzaskowski, a beautiful athletics stadium was supposed to be built, was supposed to be renovated. This is Skra Warsaw. The famous Skra Warsaw, where Irena Szewińska, Władysław Kozakiewicz trained, and even our Olympian Anita Włodarczyk not too long ago - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a press statement in front of the RKS Skra stadium in Warsaw.

- To Rafał Trzaskowski's two names, laziness and lies, we must add incompetence, the inability to fulfill basic promises. Incompetence, which he showed in managing, in quotation marks, the ecological disaster 'Czajka' - the Prime Minister continued.

- We extend our hand to Rafał Trzaskowski and ask for this stadium to be handed over, because in a year this Skra Warsaw stadium will be celebrating its beautiful centenary. For this centenary, we want to carry out renovations instead of Mr. Rafał Trzaskowski, and we will carry out these renovations if the capital city hands over this beautiful stadium, a stadium with tradition - he added.


09:39

Nitras:

Yesterday I Saw Mr. Morawiecki Shouting at a Rally, Insulting Opponents, the President of Warsaw, Someone He Should Be Cooperating With

- As you can see, we sold this guide, 'How to Run a Bad Campaign,' to President Duda, because today he's falling into every trap, some are laughing, he announced a decorative pond and he's falling into every one of those ponds up to his knees. When I look at PiS's campaign staff and the President himself, when I see this aggression, because it's not accidental. For two days now we've seen such total aggression, as if dehumanizing political opponents, not just us, everyone. Talking about some plagues, comparing it to a pandemic, yesterday I saw Mr. Morawiecki, who – I don't want to use overly strong words, but simply in a manner that mocks the gravity of the prime minister's office – shouted at a rally, insulted his counter-candidates, the President of Warsaw, a man with whom he should be cooperating – stated Sławomir Nitras in TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".


09:44

Nitras:

Trzaskowski Exceeds 30% in Two Recent Polls

- Well, no, two polls from the last two days, in which Rafał Trzaskowski precisely exceeds 30%, which is very important for us. And these are serious polls, Kantar, if I remember correctly, and Ipsos - stated Sławomir Nitras in the "Piasecki's Talk" on TVN24.

- It is known that it is easier to cross the 20% threshold than 30%. Likewise, it is easier to cross 30% than 40%, but the last two days have brought two polls that clearly show a change in trend - he continued.


10:06

Sawicki:

Trzaskowski has quieted down issues related to ideologies, including LGBT, but we know which side he's on. He's on the more left-wing side.

Rafał Trzaskowski, for the needs of the election campaign, has currently quieted down issues related to ideologies, related to matters such as LGBT, but we know which side he is on. He is on the more left-wing side. I believe that supporters of Robert Biedroń should have no doubts whatsoever about potentially supporting Rafał Trzaskowski. I will remind you that the PSL electorate was very confused during the European Parliament elections when the main theme of the elections was a worldview issue” - Marek Sawicki from PSL-Koalicja Polska said in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski in “Sedno sprawy” on Radio Plus.


10:13

Sawicki on Second Round Support: "The Supreme Executive Committee Gathers on June 30th. We Will Likely Discuss It, but I Still Believe Kosiniak-Kamysz Will Make it to the Second Round."

"Regarding these elections and a potential second round, the Supreme Executive Committee [of the PSL] is gathering on June 30th. We will likely discuss it, but I still believe that Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz will indeed reach the second round, and we won't face the dilemma of whom to vote for. Primarily, the Supreme Executive Committee meeting is in connection with the financial report. It simply needs to be accepted and submitted to the National Electoral Commission, but current political matters, including the campaign, will probably be discussed as well," Marek Sawicki from the PSL-Polish Coalition said on Radio Plus.

The Ministry of Health has reported 300 new cases of coronavirus infection in Poland. Of these, 129 were recorded in the Silesian Voivodeship. Tragically, 16 people have died.

PMM:

Margaret Thatcher Didn't Know What a Giant VAT and Tax Gap PO's Government, the Government Rafał Trzaskowski Was Part Of, Would Create

- Because Margaret Thatcher didn't know what a giant VAT and tax gap the PO government, the government in which Rafał Trzaskowski was a part, would create, as he joined Donald Tusk's government in 2013. By largely eliminating VAT mafias, which can be confirmed in European Commission documents, this is a very well-documented process today. Thanks to this, we have indeed recovered money from the abyss it was falling into during the PO's rule. Therefore, we are taking from VAT mafias, tax criminals, smugglers of cigarettes, fuel, and alcohol, because there was a lot of it. A gigantic scale, before we came to power, and the data attests to this. Thanks to this, several dozen billion new funds have become available for the local roads fund, which I announced today here in Bydgoszcz that we are also expanding to cities with county rights, meaning Bydgoszcz will also benefit from this - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Radio Pik, when asked about critics of the 500+ concept who point to Margaret Thatcher's statement that there is no such thing as public money.

PM:

Warsaw's Family Businesses Falling Due to Trzaskowski's Incompetence; I Appeal to Him to Get to Work
Yes, indeed, we are dealing with a phenomenon where, as a result of Mr. Trzaskowski's incompetence, family businesses are still failing constantly, especially in Warsaw. Therefore, I appeal to Mr. Trzaskowski, the Vice-Chairman of Civic Platform, to stop his political marketing, as he is an undisputed child of Donald Tusk and political marketing, but to get to work, to finally fulfill his numerous unfulfilled promises - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Radio Pik.

11:01

PMM:

I Would Ask Mr. Trzaskowski Why He Can Change His Mind Every 15 Minutes

- I would indeed ask Mr. Trzaskowski why he is capable of changing his mind every 15 minutes, because we've also seen truly bizarre situations recently, such as when he didn't remember that he was an MP 4 years ago, and when asked if he voted against lowering the retirement age, he also denied it, despite it being known that he voted against lowering the retirement age, and thus in favour of maintaining the increased retirement age against the will of Poles - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Radio Pik.


11:27

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

As the Polish Coalition, we are submitting a project to lower VAT from 23% to 15% and from 8% to 5%

As the Polish Coalition, we are submitting a project for a broad, civic agreement. We are submitting a project to lower VAT from 23% to 15% and from 8% to 5% – on basic food products, on services, on fuel, on matters related to the purchase of, for example, coffee and tea, which currently have 23% VAT, and after the reduction, it will be 15%. This is a chance to lower the cost of living in the era of the coronavirus, in a situation where food prices are rising dramatically, when the grey and black markets are expanding, inflation is growing, we must curb it, we must stimulate consumption” - said in Lipno the candidate of the Polish Coalition for President, PSL chairman Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.


11:42

Duda:

We Now Have a Favorable US Administration in the White House. They Judged Us Fairly, Granting Visa-Free Travel for Poles, and I'm Pleased. Finally, Normalcy.

- Unfortunately, I have to meet with you at such an early hour today because, as you know, I still have a trip across the big water ahead of me, but it will be short, you know it well. I know you know it well because we meet here, and in Zakopane, and in Poronin, and in Nowy Targ, and in Chicago, and in various other places, and it's the same people, and they change; sometimes it's someone from Chicago, and sometimes it's someone from here. That's how it is with you, but it's also some satisfaction for me that it's not like before, when someone left, they wouldn't be back for years because they couldn't return, go, because they didn't get a visa, right? He he he. And now there isn't, there aren't those visas, thanks to your discipline, thanks to the improving situation in Poland, that you no longer need to work in Chicago or other places in America, that you can earn decent money here, but also that we now have a favorable administration in the USA, in the White House. There are people there who like us, who looked at us well and judged us fairly, and thanks to that, we now have visa-free travel for Poles, and I am pleased with that. Finally, normalcy - stated President Andrzej Duda in Poronin.

President Duda: Upcoming Presidential Election Will Shape Poland's Future for Years, Possibly Decades

- These upcoming presidential elections are elections that will set our direction for the coming years. They will shape Poland's development for the coming years, and who knows, perhaps even for decades, because we have this unique opportunity that for 30 years we have been living in an independent, sovereign, truly free country, above all where we decide for ourselves. We are the ones going to the polls, in these elections we vote, we choose the authorities in these elections, we watch who keeps their promises and who does not, who pursues what policy for Poland, what are the effects of this policy, starting from major international matters for Poland, down to how much I have in my wallet, how I live, what my situation is, what my family can afford, at what level we live, whether I have to leave for the proverbial great water, to America, to earn money there, because I cannot earn it normally here in our country. All of this is an answer to these questions. What Poland will be like in the future. I will tell you this: I want to continue the policy that I have been implementing for the last 5 years - stated President Andrzej Duda in Poronin.


12:06

Komorowski in PiS Spot: "It was like this with me, it will be like this with Trzaskowski". Duda's campaign shows how Trzaskowski changes his mind on key issues - rafalnieklam.pl appears in the next installment
500+, lowering the retirement age, adopting the Euro, same-sex marriage, automatic refugee acceptance - these are topics where PiS highlights Rafał Trzaskowski's inconsistencies in his views. 300POLITYKA is the first to publish another spot referencing the negative message of the incumbent president's re-election campaign concerning Trzaskowski, undermining his credibility. PiS campaign strategists are consistently fitting Bronisław Komorowski's shoes onto the KO candidate and are focusing on highlighting a certain inconsistency in the Warsaw mayor's views, fueled by Trzaskowski's gaffe at a press conference in Sorkwity regarding his parliamentary votes on the retirement age. PiS strategists are also promoting the narrative of Trzaskowski being detached from reality, elitist, and "Varsovian" - as seen in the spot published on Saturday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC87YYvxCVk&feature=youtu.be Andrzej Duda's campaign strategists are strongly focused on defining Rafał Trzaskowski before he can shape his image with voters. They are doing exactly what George W. Bush Jr.'s re-election campaign did to John Kerry, who at one point seriously threatened the incumbent US president's re-election chances. Republican strategist Karl Rove attacked by ridiculing the democratic senator's international connections, his detachment from the reality of the American family from the provinces, even suggesting his "Frenchness" and mocking his fondness for cappuccino. The PiS campaign is strongly committed to promoting its message - it has also launched a special landing page http://rafalnieklam.pl, where the spot has been placed. The KO candidate's strategists responded over the weekend with a spot reminding the incumbent president of unfulfilled promises, including those for borrowers with Swiss franc loans or regarding the tax-free amount. As we hear, this message is to be reinforced with new campaign materials.

12:07

President Duda: "As long as I have strength, I will defend our traditional Polish family model. No experiments on children."

- And as long as I have strength, I promise you, I will always defend our family, the traditional family, according to our Polish model, as it is known here in Podhale. And I will not allow experiments on the unknown to be introduced here, especially experiments using children. I do not agree with this. I do not agree with this, and that's final - President Andrzej Duda stated in Poronin.


12:54

Bielan:

Elections in 5 Days, Yet Trzaskowski Still Won't Reveal His Program. Our Opinion: The Answer Might Be Simple. Trzaskowski Has a Long History of Saying One Thing Before Elections and Another After.

- The PO candidate, or KO, I'm already getting confused about what that formation is called today, has not revealed their election program to this day. In 5 days we have elections, and Rafał Trzaskowski still refuses to say what election program he is running with. Why is this happening? - ask other contenders, not just our candidate, President Duda. I've heard such questions from Robert Biedroń. In our opinion, the answer might be very simple. Rafał Trzaskowski has a long history of saying one thing before elections, and something completely different after the elections - stated Adam Bielan at a press briefing, presenting a spot that we published on 300POLITYCE.


13:01

Fogiel:

President Kaczyński to Participate in Tomorrow's Event Organized by PiS Youth for Youth

- I can confirm that President Kaczyński will participate in tomorrow's event organized by young people associated with PiS and aimed at young people, addressing issues that interest young people. Certain proposals developed by young people themselves will be presented there. Regarding the President's participation in the campaign, his involvement has been continuous since its very beginning. The PiS party, with all its structures, is engaged in the campaign, and President Kaczyński heads and manages the party, overseeing that this campaign machinery functions as it should - stated Radosław Fogiel at a press briefing.

Corporate Performance Review with Andrzej: Trzaskowski's Camp Uses 'Sharp Shadow of the Fog' Music to Highlight PAD's Unfulfilled Promises

Against the backdrop of music that the President once rapped to from "Sharp Shadow of the Fog," Rafał Trzaskowski's campaign team, in their latest spot, imitates a corporate performance review.

In the recording, members of the "committee" point out to Andrzej, who resembles the President, that at the beginning of their collaboration, he had many ideas that were meant to benefit the company. Among them were: the elimination of "garbage" (likely referring to burdensome regulations or unsustainable practices), respect for citizen-initiated legislative projects, 100,000 affordable apartments, aid for "frankowicze" (people with Swiss franc mortgages), tax-free pensions, a reduction in VAT to 22%, and subsidies for farmers.

The questioned Andrzej replies that "he owes everything to this list, and people can continue to admire it." At a key moment, Rafał Trzaskowski peeks into the room with the line, "I'm here, just in case."

When asked by the "committee" members why the contract should be extended, Andrzej, offended, stands up and argues that it is his due. The spot concludes with the slogan, "Perhaps it's time to reconsider?" Thus, in the final week of the campaign, Trzaskowski's team is concentrating their message on highlighting Andrzej Duda's unfulfilled promises.

Duda:

Before the first round in 2015, no poll showed I could win it. Since then, I've approached polls with great reservation. I practically don't pay attention to them at all.

Let's first see what happens this coming Sunday. I remind you that before the first round of the presidential elections in 2015, no poll showed that I could win the first round. I have always approached polls with great reservation. Since then, I have approached them with very great reservation. I practically don't pay attention to them at all. When it comes to my campaign, I'm doing my thing, and that's simply it, and my countrymen will judge me” - said the incumbent President Andrzej Duda in Zakopane, running for re-election.

Over Eight Years of PO Rule, CIT and PIT Revenues for Local Governments Grew by PLN 12 Billion. In Four Years of Our Rule, That's PLN 20 Billion. If Local Government Officials Don't Appreciate This, I Think They Haven't Delved Deeply Enough into Their
- The facts are that while over eight years of PO rule, revenues from CIT and PIT for all local governments in Poland – as municipalities, counties, and voivodeships benefit from this support from the central budget through these taxes to varying degrees – increased by PLN 12 billion. In four years of our rule, that's PLN 20 billion. It's easy to compare these two figures - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a media statement in Poznań. - If local government officials don't appreciate this, I think they haven't delved deeply enough into their own accounts, into their own accounting. Every accountant working in any local government office would certainly confirm these words - he added.

13:45

Hołownia:

The European Union Must Return as the Leitmotif of Our Foreign Policy

- The European Union must return as the leitmotif of our foreign policy, which at the moment is being conducted, as I would say, as a bipolar thrashing about between Donald Trump's Washington and some ideas that might be realized with Hungary. Our strength lies within the EU, and the money is there too - said Szymon Hołownia during a press conference.


13:52

Hołownia:

Regarding the US, we are dealing with a partner who doesn't so much love and adore as much as they like to sell dearly. The question is whether it will be in our interest, or solely a political interest for Duda.

- We don't really have the slightest idea what will be worked out ad hoc at the meeting between President Trump and President Duda, how much Poland will have to pay for it, under what conditions these soldiers, because they are the ones being discussed, will come to Poland, what will happen with the offset if we want to buy American helicopters as part of the Kruk program. These are all unanswered questions, and we know that when it comes to the United States, we are dealing with a partner who doesn't so much love and adore as they like to sell dearly many things produced in the States. The question is whether it will be in our interest, or solely a political interest for Andrzej Duda three days before the election – said Szymon Hołownia during a press conference.


14:02

Hołownia:

We're doing everything to prevent Poland from facing a dilemma between a house fire and a broken hand – choosing between Duda and Trzaskowski

- We are doing everything to prevent Poland from finding itself in such a difficult situation where it will have to choose between a house fire and a broken hand, meaning between Andrzej Duda and Rafał Trzaskowski. However, the mobilization within our movement allows me to be optimistic in this regard. Regardless of the outcome, whether I become president or not, the civic movement that has emerged on its own – I didn't decree it, but it's evident – has grown. I thought we'd have 2,000 volunteers when I started; we now have almost 15,000 across Poland, with 18 offices, thousands of wonderful social initiatives that have already taken place, and 14 program documents that we have developed. Such potential cannot be wasted, and therefore, this movement will continue to work for the good of the Republic – said Szymon Hołownia during a press conference.

Trzaskowski:

It's Systemically Wise for an Independent, Strong President from a Different Political Camp to Scrutinize the Government and Stimulate Action

Every government needs to be held accountable. It is systemically wise for an independent, strong president, from a different political camp than today's, to be able to scrutinize the government, to stimulate action when it's needed, as in matters of mining, to ask difficult questions, and to propose certain solutions. Those in power bear responsibility for them, but a strong president should be a person who not only holds them accountable but also proposes concrete solutions to certain issues, who is ready for cooperation where it is possible, and who is firm where the citizens' interests need to be defended” – said Rafał Trzaskowski, the Civic Coalition's presidential candidate and Mayor of Warsaw, in Urszulin.

Piotr Duda: Trzaskowski Has Civic Platform in His DNA

- Indeed, as one of the candidates put it, modernization. How those poor souls must have toiled in 2011 to lie so much during the election campaign. Only to decide in 2012 to raise the retirement age, without consulting society, let alone trade unions. If anyone has the legitimacy to speak on this matter and speak out loudly, it is the 'Solidarity' trade union. It was the National Commission, at its meeting in Katowice, that decided we would collect 500,000 signatures within 1.5 months, because that's all the time we had. To submit a motion for a referendum. How many did we collect? Almost 3 million. Did we submit the motion? We did. How were we all treated in the Sejm? In my speech, I said clearly: you lied in the morning, at noon, in the evening. Donald Tusk - there will be no raising of the age. Vincent Rostowski - there is no need for that. Bronisław Komorowski - there is absolutely no need for that. They sat there, without even batting an eyelid, in the parliamentary benches. And then the Prime Minister's speech. How dare you scoundrels come to the Sejm and ask for a referendum? We will decide what the retirement age will be. And Mr. candidate Trzaskowski will not escape this. Because he has Civic Platform in his DNA and is a hardened liberal, and we know that perfectly well. And let him say it openly today: yes, I will become president, I will raise the retirement age. Because they have it in their blood, let them say it loudly, let them simply not be ashamed of it - stated Piotr Duda.

Trzaskowski:

I would ask the President to inform the public why he is going to Washington. I have sent a letter to the President on this matter

- Security and allied issues are the most important matters, because they concern the raison d'état. We hear that President Duda is traveling to Washington, but unfortunately, we do not know for what purpose. Neither the parliament nor the public has been informed about this. And therefore, I would ask the President to inform the public why he is going to Washington. I have sent a letter to the President on this matter. Because when it comes to issues concerning the stationing of American troops in Poland, there is agreement here. This is one of the few examples of continuity in foreign policy, because I remind you that it was the PO and PSL governments that negotiated the bringing of American troops to Poland, and here the PiS government implemented it. We really have continuity here. However, we are receiving various signals that the Americans want to relocate their nuclear weapons, we are receiving signals that perhaps talks are also underway regarding the construction of a nuclear power plant in Poland. And that is why I appeal to the President to clarify these matters unequivocally and to clearly inform the public that it is not about relocating nuclear forces, to clarify whether these talks will indeed concern perhaps the construction of a nuclear reactor. If not, then the public should know about it, - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing in Lublin.

- Because either the matter is extremely important and very serious decisions will indeed be made in Washington, but then parliament should be informed, the National Security Council should be convened, or very important decisions will not be made there, and then the question is, of course, why this visit is taking place a few days before the elections. I hope that President Duda is not going to Washington solely for the immediate purposes of his or President Trump's campaign, hence this letter and hence these questions. These doubts must be clarified - he continued.

Trzaskowski:

It's Rather Strange That PiS Is Trying to Hold Me Accountable for Campaign Promises After a Year and a Half, While President Duda Suddenly Stated His Promises Were Spread Over 10 Years

- Regarding the issues concerning Skra, I would first note that it is rather strange that PiS is trying to hold me accountable for campaign promises after a year and a half, while President Duda suddenly stated that his promises were spread over 10 years. But the Prime Minister probably doesn't have all the information he should have. Because he should well know that the Skra matter is still in court, and unfortunately, we haven't recovered the keys to the facility yet. So that we could even begin to invest in Skra. However, I remember the government's promises, for example, to build a sports and entertainment hall near the National Stadium, and if the Prime Minister truly wants to fulfill promises and invest in sports, I would expect him to fulfill that promise - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing in Lublin.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

I Will Pay Special Attention to the Armaments Industry and Companies Paying Taxes in Poland. This Could Be the Next Driving Force
– For me, as the future Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, I will place special care and attention on the armaments industry and companies that pay taxes in Poland. This could be the next driving force – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Toruń.

16:06

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

I'm calling on all candidates once again, it's not too late yet. Don't be afraid of debate

- I'm calling on all candidates once again, it's not too late yet. Don't be afraid of debate. I think that opposition candidates like Rafał Trzaskowski, in particular, won't suffice with one debate on government television, but rather there should be debates on other channels. I am ready - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Toruń. 


17:16

Trzaskowski:

What we need today is to put the nation's interest, the citizens' interest above party interest

What we need today is to put the nation's interest, the citizens' interest above party interest. That is the most important thing today. We need a president who can rise above their own political circle and who can face the most important problems, and these most important problems today are healthcare, security, equal opportunities in education, the issue of fighting climate warming, the fight for clean air” - said in Lublin the Civic Coalition (KO) presidential candidate, the Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski.


17:20

Trzaskowski:

Not everyone in Poland had the chance to become a father. Some were deprived of this chance – either by ideology or by sheer stubbornness. If I become president, I will do everything to restore the government's in vitro program.

“We are meeting on Father’s Day. I greet my kids from here, from Lublin. Not everyone in Poland had the chance to become a father. Some were deprived of this chance – either by ideology or by sheer stubbornness. If I become President of the Republic of Poland, I will do everything in my power to restore the government’s in vitro program” – said Rafał Trzaskowski, candidate for president from Civic Coalition (KO) and Mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, in Lublin.


17:24

Trzaskowski:

They Try to Hold Me Accountable for All Promises After 1.5 Years as Warsaw Mayor, Where Much Has Been Achieved, While They Themselves Flee Accountability, Constantly Suggesting Diversionary Topics.

They try to hold me accountable for all my promises after 1.5 years as the mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, where a great deal has been achieved, while they themselves are fleeing accountability, constantly suggesting diversionary topics. So let's ask. Since you promised us a strong state, you said that the Polish state had not been strong before, why have you so dramatically weakened this state? Why? Today, this is evident in the epidemic and post-epidemic situation: there is no rational plan for exiting the epidemic. We don't even know what stage of the epidemic we are at, because the government does not deem it appropriate to inform us” - said Rafał Trzaskowski, the KO candidate for president and the mayor of the capital city of Warsaw, in Lublin.

We demand a report regarding the epidemic, clearly prepared conclusions for the future, because it is this future that needs to be taken care of today” - he added.


17:32

Trzaskowski:

No One Knows Why President Duda is Going to the US. No Parliamentary Discussions, No Public Information, Yet We Hear About Nuclear Weapons and Atom Power Plants.
Today, we must build a community. We must strive to solve problems together, to jointly address what is most important. Today, I want to give you one example of why this is not working for now. We have one example in foreign policy where the previous government and this government were able to reach an agreement, namely the issues concerning the presence of American troops on Polish territory. There are few things that unite us. Today, we learn that President Andrzej Duda is going to the United States, but no one knows why or for what purpose. There were no discussions in parliament, no one informed the public why the President is going to Washington, and yet we hear various things, we hear about the transfer of nuclear weapons, the construction of nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants. No one is informing us whether the President will be making important decisions in Washington, or if it's solely about immediate issues related to the political campaign, and this concerns the security of all of us. If we want to rebuild our community, we must discuss such matters together" – said Rafał Trzaskowski, Civic Coalition's presidential candidate and Mayor of Warsaw, in Lublin.

17:36

Trzaskowski on Counter-Protests at His Rallies: "It Should Make Us Happy. If Someone Wants to Appear, Even for a Moment, in a Positive Crowd, to Recharge Their Batteries with This Incredible Energy and Smile, They Must Appear Among Us."

Very often at our meetings, something distracts us, doesn't it? Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry about it, because the only chance for someone to gain some visibility sometimes is precisely the attempt to gain visibility at our meetings, because nowhere else in Poland do so many people gather. Therefore, it's no wonder that people try to gain visibility at such meetings, and it should absolutely make us happy, because it means that if someone wants to appear, even for a moment, in a positive crowd, to recharge their batteries with this incredible energy and smile, even for a moment, they must appear among us” - said Rafał Trzaskowski, candidate for president from Civic Coalition (KO) and Mayor of Warsaw, in Lublin.

President Duda: Medical Fund Bill Submitted to Parliament Today

- The bill concerning the Medical Fund, which has been anticipated for some time and widely discussed in the media, was submitted to the Sejm by me today. Thus, as they say, it has entered the Marshal's desk, officially reaching the Marshal of the Sejm, Elżbieta Witek. Esteemed ladies and gentlemen, the bill provides for the establishment of this fund, which will be under the purview of the Minister of Health. The fund will be capitalized at 4 billion PLN annually. However, this year, as we have already passed half of it, the fund will have 2 billion PLN - President Andrzej Duda stated before his departure to the USA.


19:20

President Duda: I Appeal to the Entire Polish Political Scene. Strategic Relations with the United States Have Always Been an Element of Absolute, All-Party Compromise

- This visit demonstrates a very good level of relations between Poland and the United States. Very strong allied ties. I am immensely pleased with this and I also appeal to the entire Polish political scene. Strategic relations with the United States have always been an element of absolute, all-party compromise, that these relations must be strengthened and it is important that they are as good as possible. I am asking now, too, for a compromise approach to this matter - said President Andrzej Duda before departing for the USA.


19:25

Duda Before Departure to the USA: During the Rule of Civic Platform, of Which Trzaskowski is a Member, Russia Attacked Ukraine, and Poland Relied Solely on Our Army

- From the very beginning of my presidency, I have been striving to strengthen Poland's security. During the time when Civic Platform, of which Mr. Rafał Trzaskowski is a member, was in power, Russia attacked Ukraine, and Poland was entirely reliant solely on the presence of our army. Many people were very fearful. In 2015, immediately after being elected President, I began implementing a policy of NATO presence in our country as a guarantee of security. Today, Alliance troops are present in Poland, and American troops are present in Poland. This is the result of calm and effective policy. I commit to continuing to implement such a policy - said President Andrzej Duda before his departure to the USA.

Schetyna's Silence and a Street Poll: "What Do Warsaw Residents Think About Trzaskowski's Successes?" PAD's Campaign Quickly Responds to KO Candidate's Video and Releases a New Clip

PiS has released another video spot where the narrator addresses the KO candidate as "Rafał" and suggests that Trzaskowski is unaware of the problems of "ordinary people." Therefore, as stated in the clip, the actors' statements are confronted with a street poll among Warsaw residents.

- Hi Rafał. Tell us, why are actors featured in your campaign videos? We decided to ask Warsaw residents what they think about your successes - says the voice-over in the new clip from Andrzej Duda's campaign team, which 300POLITYKA is the first to publish.

- Rafał, presidents are elected by ordinary people - the narrator continues. 

The spot is woven together with statements from Warsaw residents, who, when asked about the successes of the capital's mayor, respond with "hard to say" or "bad." The clip also features the silence of Grzegorz Schetyna when asked about PO's successes in the capital – from a press conference in Goleniów during the previous local government campaign.

Our interlocutors from Andrzej Duda's campaign team emphasize that his campaign has the ability to respond instantaneously to the video spot published today by Rafał Trzaskowski's campaign team.

Trzaskowski:

I'd like to know precisely why the President is going to Washington
- I'd like to know precisely why the President is going to Washington. Regarding the strengthening of the American military presence in Poland, there is agreement on that. However, when it comes to issues like nuclear weapons, as there are allegedly suggestions about that, or, for example, the construction of a nuclear power plant, it would be worthwhile to discuss it beforehand so that at least the parliament or public opinion is aware of it – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".

Trela on President's US Visit: It's a Setup for Presidential Elections, a Quick Photo Op to Appeal to PiS Electorate to Win

- Under normal circumstances, if we weren't in an election campaign, I would have high hopes and great expectations for this visit, but now there are no illusions, no doubts that this is a setup for the presidential elections, a quick photo op to appeal to the PiS electorate to win the presidential election - said Tomasz Trela in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości" program.

Dworczyk on the Fire Truck Giveaway Campaign for Voter Turnout: 'A Very Interesting, Innovative Way to Mobilize Participation in Elections'

We are seeing manifestations of many pro-turnout campaigns. These campaigns are organized by both non-governmental and governmental institutions. One of these campaigns is the one you mentioned, related to the handover of fire trucks to Volunteer Fire Brigades (OSP). They are an incredibly deserving organization; volunteer firefighters have immense merits. It is a very interesting, innovative way to mobilize participation in elections” - said the Head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery, Minister Michał Dworczyk, in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's 'Kropka nad i'.

Dworczyk on Emilewicz's Speech at Jasna Góra: She Said if She Knew It Would Cause So Much Emotion, She Probably Wouldn't Have Done It and Would Pay Attention to It in the Future

Prime Minister Emilewicz did not speak from the pulpit, she was at a pilgrimage of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, planned and postponed due to Covid-19. The Prior of Jasna Góra seated her in a designated spot, and then, at his request, she took the floor, speaking not, as you say, from the pulpit, but from a lectern, addressing only the entrepreneurs in the context of various risks we have recently had to face due to the epidemic. I must say that it caused a lot of emotion. I spoke with Prime Minister Emilewicz, and Prime Minister Emilewicz said that if she knew it would cause so much emotion, she probably wouldn't have done it and would pay attention to it in the future,” said the Head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery, Minister Michał Dworczyk, on TVN24.

Kwaśniewski Sent Polish Troops to Iraq Solely for a Press Conference with Bush in the Rose Garden

- President Aleksander Kwaśniewski sent Polish troops to Iraq solely for the purpose of appearing at a joint press conference with President Bush in the Rose Garden. President Andrzej Duda is going there to discuss security matters, and for the first time in history, thanks to President Andrzej Duda's efforts, within the NATO forum, and thanks to direct, very good relations with President Trump, we have several thousand American soldiers on our territory, and this presence of American soldiers will be strengthened - said Adam Bielan in an interview with Edyta Lewandowska on TVP Info's program “Gość Wiadomości”.

President Duda to Announce Another Major Google Investment on Wednesday, Creating Over 3,000 Well-Paid, Promising IT Jobs

- Further investments will be announced in the coming days. President Duda spoke about a major Microsoft investment, and we know that tomorrow he will announce another investment, a very large one, even bigger than Microsoft's, Google's. This will create over 3,000 well-paid, very promising jobs in the IT sector, in modern technologies. I repeat, we have the best relations in the history of Polish-American relations - said Adam Bielan on TVP Info.

Dworczyk on TVN: Turning into an Attacking Stakeholder in the Current Campaign. Olejnik: We've Been Building Free Media for Years and Are Part of Democracy. It Probably Hurts You That Poles Learned About 70 Million for Ballots. 'True Heroism, Everyone Is P

We are truly facing a situation where, during this conversation, you and your station are simply turning into some kind of politically attacking stakeholders in the current election campaign. I don't recall, Madam Editor, you considering Bronisław Komorowski's appearance in the Jasna Góra chapel, Donald Tusk's appearance in a church, or a number of other politicians' speeches as scandalous in this way. I don't recall your editorial colleagues appearing with such indignation. Really, let's apply the same standard to everyone” - said Minister Michał Dworczyk on TVN24 in the context of Deputy Prime Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz's speech at Jasna Góra.

My station is free media. We've been building this free media for many years and we are part of democracy. I wanted to tell you that we criticized the Toruń and Łagiewniki churches, and it's not me criticizing, but the spokesperson for the Episcopate who said that the Church cannot get involved in the election campaign. It was the spokesperson for Jasna Góra who stated that something bad had happened. Please don't blame the journalists. I am terribly sorry that you have such complaints about us [ironically]. I know it probably hurts you that it is thanks to us that Poles learned that you spent 70 million on electoral packages that are fit for the bin. I ask, who will bear responsibility for this” - replied Monika Olejnik.

This is true heroism, Madam Editor, indeed, talking about this in such a difficult situation when everyone is being persecuted, because that's how I understand your words. Let's be serious. We live in a democratic country. Everyone can say what they want. I appealed for something else. Either you are objective, independent journalists, or you do not attack politicians from the United Right in such a selective, one-sided manner” - Dworczyk added.
