08:01

Müller:

Voters who supported Bosak or Hołownia must ask themselves if they prefer cooperation or conflict between the president and the government

- Let's look at the facts. At this moment, we have two candidates. We have Andrzej Duda and Rafał Trzaskowski when it comes to the second round. One can only choose from these two candidates. Therefore, a voter who cast a ballot for Krzysztof Bosak or Szymon Hołownia must ask themselves whether they prefer to choose this element of cooperation within the government, or rather conflict between the president and the government - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".


08:02

Gowin:

Poland's Democracy is the Biggest Winner of the First Round

- I consistently strived for democratic elections to be held in Poland, and Poland's democracy is the biggest winner of this first round - stated Jarosław Gowin on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".


08:03

Gowin:

Every Democratic Verdict Must Be Respected, That's True. However, There's No Doubt That Trzaskowski's Potential Victory Will Mean Escalation of the 'War at the Top'
As with many other journalists, you did not finish the sentence I uttered on Friday. The meaning was such, and that was the conclusion, that every democratic verdict must be respected, and that is true. However, for me, there is no doubt that Rafał Trzaskowski's potential victory will mean an escalation of the 'war at the top.' Andrzej Duda's victory will mean 3 years of stability, which we need in order to fight the epidemic and its economic consequences – stated Jarosław Gowin on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

08:08

Gowin:

Trzaskowski Would Be a President Aiming to Overthrow the United Right Government and Herald a Cultural Revolution in Poland, I Hope This Doesn't Happen

Rafał Trzaskowski would be a president, I hope this doesn't happen, whose aim would be to overthrow the United Right government. Secondly, he would be a herald of a cultural revolution in Poland, and this would naturally antagonize Poles, concentrating public life on issues that should be the domain of… – stated Jarosław Gowin in the program „Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.


08:10

Müller on Issues with the Electronic Voter Registration System: Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Present Information Shortly

- I have just asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for information on this matter. Regarding the situation from last night, I know that such a situation occurred [on Monday] late in the evening. As far as I know, backup options for registration were also activated, including via embassy email addresses - said Piotr Müller on Polsat News.

- Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will present information on this matter shortly. I just asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson for such an explanation to be issued, and this relevant information will appear on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website today - added the government spokesperson.


08:14

Gowin:

Duda's Result is Very Satisfying. It Confirms He Was a Good President

- President Duda's result is very satisfying. I believe it confirms that he was a good president, and in a sense, it also confirms that the United Right's governance serves Poles well. However, no polls indicated a victory in the first round - stated Jarosław Gowin on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".


08:16

Müller:

We Must Use the Most Effective Tools to Support the President. Undoubtedly, Personal Meetings, and Secondly, Showing What the Situation Would Look Like if Trzaskowski Could Become President

- We need to look at the current situation in the election campaign and use the most effective tools to support the President - said Piotr Müller on Polsat News.

- Undoubtedly, personal meetings are one thing, and the second thing is showing the alternative of what the situation would look like if Rafał Trzaskowski could become President - he added.


08:24

Gowin:

I Believe in Our Candidate's Victory, But It Requires Very Hard Work and Immense Commitment, Not Just from Us United Right Politicians, But Also Our Voters and Supporters

- I certainly believe in our candidate's victory, but this victory requires very hard work and immense commitment, not only from us, the politicians of the United Right, but also from our voters and our supporters. Every day, I myself hand out leaflets at marketplaces and travel across Poland, meeting with voters. I am convincing them that electing Andrzej Duda is a chance for three stable, safe years and for concentrating on what should be the sole priority of the Polish state at this moment – fighting the epidemic and fighting for Poles' jobs - stated Jarosław Gowin in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


08:55

Siemoniak:

Polls show a draw, an even fight in the second round, and everything is still ahead of us
- The facts are as follows. Rafał Trzaskowski is in the second round. Polls show a draw, an even fight in the second round, and everything is still ahead of us - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - My intuition tells me that all these analyses are not worth much at this moment. There will be a different turnout in the second round. There are votes from candidates who did not advance to the second round, and we will see what these voters do, and there is this rule that an incumbent president has never won in the second round if they did not win in the first - he continued.

09:08

Siemoniak:

The Fight Will Be Decided in District Towns and Smaller Localities. This is the Stake in the Election. And Trzaskowski is There Every Day and Wins Voters There

- Rafał Trzaskowski is traveling. The battle, the fight will be decided in district towns and smaller localities. This is the stake in the election. And Rafał Trzaskowski is there every day and wins voters there - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".


09:36

Sasin:

Elections Not Yet Decided, Nothing is Predetermined. President's Activity Will Be High, Presenting a Vision of an Active, Collaborative Presidency

This is certainly a very good starting position for President Andrzej Duda before the second round of elections, but it must also be stated very clearly that these elections are not yet decided, and truly nothing is yet predetermined. The fight will continue until the very last moment. The activity from the President's side will be very high, and a vision of an active, but also a collaborative presidency will be presented” – said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on Radio Trójka.


09:39

Sasin:

If Trzaskowski became president, he would be a president of war, confrontation. He would lead us, Poles, into a state of stagnation and an inability to seize development opportunities facing Poland.

I absolutely do not believe in cooperation between Trzaskowski and the government, with the parliamentary majority. If he became president, he would be a president of war, of confrontation, who would very strongly use the tools given to him by the constitution, in the form of vetoes, slowing down, blocking the government's actions, simply to show that this government is unable to do anything concrete in Poland. He would lead us, all Poles, into a state of stagnation and an inability to seize the development opportunities facing Poland” – said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in a conversation with Beata Michniewicz on Polskie Radio Program III.


10:15

Trzaskowski:

A Debate is Being Organized by Television and Portals for Thursday. I Hope President Duda Will Participate
A debate is being organized by television, by online portals for Thursday. I hope that President Andrzej Duda will take part in this debate, because today we have so many problems to solve that we need to talk. I think everyone who is running, aspiring to the office of President of the Republic of Poland, must take up this challenge - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Tczew. I will, of course, participate in this debate and I am, of course, addressing the President. I appeared on TVP, even though I expected what that debate would look like. The main criticism of the debate on TVP is one: diversionary tactics. Today, we must organize a debate in which we will talk about real problems - he added.

10:21

Trzaskowski:

Server Issues Occurred. Clear Appeal to the Ministry to Extend Registration for Overseas Voters by 24 Hours
There were numerous problems with voting abroad. Recently, there were server issues. Therefore, a clear appeal to the ministry to extend the registration period by 24 hours for all those who wish to vote and are outside the territory of Poland – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Tczew.

10:27

Trzaskowski in Tczew: 'This Bridge is Symbolic, as Five Years Ago Duda Shouted Loudly He'd Renovate It. I Will Ensure It Becomes a Branch of the WWII Museum and We Will Renovate It.'
- The place is symbolic because exactly five years ago, President Andrzej Duda stood in this very spot and shouted very loudly that he would renovate this bridge, that he was taking on this challenge and that this bridge would be renovated. Today, President Andrzej Duda is shouting just as loudly at his other rallies, but unfortunately, regarding the renovation of the bridge in Tczew, absolutely nothing has changed - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Tczew.

- I declare here that I will ensure this bridge becomes a branch of the Second World War Museum in Gdańsk and that we will renovate this bridge, because it holds immense value - he added.

10:32

Trzaskowski:

If a PiS President Wins, Don't Fool Yourselves, There Will Be Revenge on Local Government Officials. We Are Already Enemy Number One Because We Firmly Stood in Defense of the Rule of Law and Justice.

- Unfortunately, if PiS wins the elections and a PiS president wins the elections, don't fool yourselves, there will be revenge specifically on local government officials. We are already enemy number one for the ruling party because we firmly stood in defense of the rule of law and in defense of justice. We did not release your data for the May 10th elections because there was no legal basis for it – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Tczew.

Trzaskowski to TVP: Just try to reach an agreement with other TV stations, don't be afraid. Other journalists don't bite

- The debate on TVP deals only and exclusively with surrogate topics. I have an appeal to you regarding this. Don't be afraid, don't stage another setup, because these setups are terribly tiring, your eternal manipulations, exaggerations of problems are tiring. Just try to reach an agreement with other TV stations, don't be afraid. Other journalists don't bite. Even if they ask objective questions - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Tczew.


10:44

Trzaskowski on Managing Warsaw: We're in the 21st Century, Not the 19th. I've Strengthened the Ability to Convene Remote Crisis Staffs

- I returned to Warsaw a few days ago just as the heavy rains began. I have strengthened the capability for remote management. That's what it's all about, we're in the 21st century, not the 19th. I've reinforced the ability to convene remote crisis staffs, so that connections are immediate, so there's no need to wait even a minute, so we can be in constant contact with the people managing crises in Warsaw - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Tczew.


10:47

Trzaskowski:

I hope we can create a program for all opposition candidates

- Today, tomorrow, and in the coming days, I will be discussing program proposals. I will be talking about program proposals that are my own, but which also take into account what is important for other candidates. I hope that we will be able to create a program, a program for all opposition candidates. So that this change can happen on July 12th - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Tczew.


10:58

Trzaskowski and Supporters Declare a Manifesto of Values:

I Believe in Poland.

300polityka was the first to see Rafał Trzaskowski's latest promotional video, in which the campaign team outlines the candidate's vision for Poland. The campaign team used fragments of the President of Warsaw's speech from Wrocław.

Simultaneously with Trzaskowski, his voters deliver individual sentences. The image is divided into two parts. Trzaskowski occupies the larger portion, while individual supporters take up the smaller one. The campaign team strives to showcase a broad spectrum of voters: from children, young people, through individuals with disabilities, ethnic and national minorities (Silesians and Kashubians), users of sign language, professional groups (teachers), to seniors.

The leitmotif of the video is the declaration "I believe in Poland," which Trzaskowski and the voters then expand upon. Together, they speak of a Poland that "is one for all, with equal opportunities, free from lies, where there are no better and worse, equal and more equal, where the stronger help the weaker, in a Poland within the European Union."

"It's high time to change Poland," say the voters, and Trzaskowski adds that "we will do it together." In the second part, supporters introduce themselves (by first name or full name) and explain the reasons why they will vote for Trzaskowski.

This is the first video to appear before the second round of the presidential elections. Trzaskowski's associates declare that before the electoral runoff, the candidate is entering a new phase of the campaign, of which this video is one element. Campaign team members emphasize that no actors appear in the recording, but rather real supporters.

With 11 days left until the repeat vote, the President of Warsaw is set to go on the offensive. He is preparing new initiatives, and the campaign team also plans to leverage Andrzej Duda's lack of declaration regarding participation in the debate organized by TVN, Onet, and WP.

Kidawa-Błońska:

All services were active, and without their good performance, Warsaw wouldn't be clean today. Work is ongoing in some places, but the city is functioning.

- These services were active, they performed their tasks, the fire brigade, municipal services, all services were active, and without the good performance of these municipal services, Warsaw wouldn't be clean today. Indeed, there are places where work is still ongoing, but the city is functioning. The city is functioning, we have vice-mayors, we have directors of bureaus. Warsaw is not managed single-handedly by a finger. It's a whole well-connected system - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- We noticed that during the pandemic, it's possible to function excellently by connecting online. For several months, we all worked and operated this way, and in crisis situations, this is how one can act. There was a downpour, and after the downpour, it's clean. We don't know what weather anomalies await us, because July is ahead of us, and July is indeed a difficult month for our weather - she continued.

Budka:

We Demand the Prime Minister Account for the Alleged 58 Billion Zloty Meant to Benefit the Silesian Voivodeship. Mr. Prime Minister, It's Time to Look Residents in the Eye and Say, 'We're Sorry, We Deceived You'

Perhaps no one remembers the slides Deputy Prime Minister Morawiecki regaled us with, talking about the sustainable development program, but everyone here, in the voivodeship, remembers the program for Silesia, which turned out to be merely a PR tool, a program that brought nothing good for Silesia. Today it's time to check the work of a Silesian MP. Mateusz Morawiecki is an MP from Katowice who promised huge investments in the voivodeship, and it turned out that all of this was just PR stunts. There is no concrete implementation of the program for Silesia. It turned out to be empty promises. Instead of tens of billions of zlotys that were supposed to be pumped into the Silesian voivodeship, symbolic sites remain, such as the unrealized train station in Sosnowiec” – said the Civic Platform leader, Borys Budka, at a press conference.


We demand that Prime Minister Morawiecki account for these alleged 58 billion zlotys that were supposed to benefit the Silesian voivodeship. We listen to the voices of Silesian trade unionists, who clearly state that the program for Silesia turned out to be a big sham and that there are no concrete investments that would change our region. Mr. Prime Minister, enough lies, it's time to leave the Warsaw offices and look the residents in the eye and say, 'We're sorry, we deceived you'” – he added.


11:22

Budka on PAD's Participation in TVN, Onet, and WP Debate: 'I Can't Imagine the Commander-in-Chief, a Person Who Should Show Courage in Times of Crisis, Cowarding So Much.' If He Refuses the Debate, He Will Prove to Be a Coward.
'I can't imagine the Commander-in-Chief, a person who should show courage in times of crisis, to be so cowardly, that President Andrzej Duda, after 5 years of his presidency, is afraid of objective journalists. This is cowardice. It is unprecedented that the head of state, a person who after 5 years is running for re-election, is afraid to face the public opinion, is afraid to answer difficult questions. Perhaps he is afraid of why he did not fulfill specific promises, why he did not help people with Swiss franc loans, why he did not equalize direct subsidies for farmers. And finally, why instead of 2 billion for blunt propaganda and money for Jacek Kurski, this money did not go to healthcare. If Andrzej Duda does not stand up for the debate, which is being organized by independent media and independent journalists, he will prove to be a person who has chickened out at the finish line of the election campaign. He will prove to be an unreliable person, whom we will not be able to count on in times of trial' - said the leader of Civic Platform, Borys Budka, at a press conference in Sosnowiec. 

12:15

Trzaskowski:

They're Apparently Preparing Many Tax Hikes. That's Why I'm Clearly Stating I Will Veto Any Tax the Government Wants to Introduce
We saw how eager the ruling party was to hold elections as quickly as possible because the Morawiecki deficit is growing, and we are also hearing reports that the government itself is convinced it is not coping with the situation and will have trouble managing the economic situation. Apparently, many tax hikes are being prepared. That is why I am clearly stating that I will impose a tax veto on every tax that the government wants to introduce, which will be a burden for Poles – said Rafał Trzaskowski during a press briefing in Kartuzy. 

12:19

Trzaskowski:

Today We Launch podatkidudy.pl. The President Signed Laws Increasing at Least 30 Taxes and Other Financial Burdens

- Today we are also launching the website podatkidudy.pl, because in these recent years, the President has signed laws increasing at least 30 taxes and other financial burdens. One can give numerous examples here, such as the "power tax" which translated into energy prices, excise duty, or finally, waste disposal fees – said Rafał Trzaskowski during a press briefing in Kartuzy. 


12:20

President Duda's Plea: Media Unite for One Presidential Debate

- There's been some confusion around debates since yesterday, and I'll say this: I see the media are ceasing to discuss the elections and the substantive issues that genuinely interest Poles, and have started a discussion about the debate itself. I have a proposal. You all know perfectly well that I have always participated in debates. I participated in the debates in 2015, both the joint ones where all candidates took part, and later with President Komorowski. This year, I've already participated in two debates, something no president has done before. So, when it comes to debates, I truly have experience and I don't fear them. However, I have one request. Let the media agree amongst themselves. We have three major television stations in Poland: TVP, Polsat, and TVN. Please, come to an agreement, organize one debate, to which other media outlets can also join, and in this way, calmly, together, we will conduct this debate, so that the discussion is not about the debate itself, but about Poland. This is my proposal. Of course, Poles are very interested in the debate. But let it be in a spirit of unity. It's probably not a terrible problem for three television stations to sort this out, not to compete with each other, not to look for mutual connections, 'this television is connected to that one, that one to another,' 'this one supports this person, that one supports that one.' No. Please, organize it together, decide together what the questions in the debate will be, how it will look, reach an agreement on this matter with the campaign staffs. I think this is the best solution, and I sincerely ask all three television stations for this. I would be very happy to participate in such a debate, which would be a truly calm debate, and not some kind of race in terms of proposals – stated President Andrzej Duda in a conversation with journalists.


12:35

Duda:

If Poland Committed to Compensating for 2019 Drought Losses, It Must Fulfill Its Promise

“We have repeatedly discussed the issue of drought compensation payments. We spoke with the Prime Minister. If the Polish state has committed to compensating for all damages from the 2019 drought, then it cannot be the case that a portion of those acknowledged damages is not compensated. Either Poland is a serious state, or it is not. We manage Polish affairs so that everyone feels and knows that Poland is a serious state. So be it, we will have to find those few billion zlotys and compensate for these acknowledged damages. There is no room for discussion here,” said President Andrzej Duda, who is running for re-election. 


12:52

Morawiecki:

A Choice Between Duda's Plan and the Revolution of Customs

- We truly need to make a good choice between what is called Duda's plan, an investment plan, and a plan for the revolution of customs, a plan of chaos, a lack of cooperation. We know perfectly well that today each of our opponents can promise anything. But when they were in power, it's worth remembering the previous crisis, what they did. They raised VAT, they raised taxes, they took away the Open Pension Funds (OFE), they raised the retirement age, and we are trying to raise the standard of living for people and be with the people. That is why mobilization and understanding are so important, that this is about Poland's development model. One that is meant to create a modern, people-friendly, prosperous Poland, one where you can also be in Łęczna, return after university, technical school, high school, vocational school, or trade school and find work here. Is it for a Poland that only drains the greatest talents, various people, to large centers or forces them to emigrate - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Łęczna.


13:38

Bielan:

We're Launching 'Poland Connects Us' Campaign - Hundreds of Meetings Nationwide

- We would like to speak about a campaign that we are launching today, before the second round. The campaign is called 'Poland Connects Us' and it will involve thousands of our activists, volunteers, parliamentarians, local government officials, as well as other individuals who do not hold any official positions. From today, we are starting hundreds of meetings across the country. It won't just be President Duda who will be persuading people to vote in these elections. These elections are important not only for the President, for us, the campaign staff, but they are important for the entire country, which is why hundreds of meetings will begin to take place throughout Poland starting today. At the same time, we are appealing to all our sympathizers and volunteers to download campaign materials. Starting tomorrow, banners, election posters, and leaflets will be available for pickup at our regional and district offices. We appeal for involvement in this campaign. Mobilization is very important - stated Adam Bielan at a press briefing.

President Duda: Burdening all smartphones with a fee (tax) for ZAiKS would be, in my opinion, unfair and constitutionally flawed. Owning a smartphone doesn't mean you use copyrighted works.
- In my opinion, burdening all smartphones with a fee (tax) for ZAiKS (copyright for creators and artists) would be unfair and constitutionally flawed. Owning a smartphone doesn't mean you use copyrighted works – President Andrzej Duda wrote on Twitter. https://twitter.com/andrzejduda/status/1277938131824762884?s=12

14:39

Bielan:

We Urge Trzaskowski, the Mayor of the Capital, Whom Warsaw Residents Pay to Be Here During Such a Crisis and Solve Problems, Not to Flee Them
- The campaign is, of course, very important, but we are calling on Rafał Trzaskowski, the host in Warsaw, the mayor of the capital, whom Warsaw residents pay to be here during such a crisis and solve problems, not to flee from these problems, just as he did in the case of the coronavirus, when he fled by taking sick leave L4, then, according to his spokeswoman, it turned out that he was simply overworked, not to wait for help from the government that will rescue him – as was the case with the failure of the Czajka sewage treatment plant, but to be on site, like any good host, a local government official. Rafał Trzaskowski often refers to issues of self-governance and solving these problems. The campaign can wait a few dozen hours, while unfortunately Rafał Trzaskowski has not been in Warsaw for many hours, he is not present at crisis management team meetings – stated Adam Bielan at a press briefing.

PAD's Campaign Strikes Back at Trzaskowski's Message, Launches Website on Tax Cuts

As 300POLITYKA has learned, the launch of a website detailing tax and fee reductions between 2015 and 2020 is President Andrzej Duda's campaign's response to the Civic Platform's accusations and their website launched today. The entire online campaign will also revolve around this website, focusing on the Civic Platform's history of raising taxes and tolerating VAT carousel fraud.

- "The campaign is quickly responding to the Civic Platform's attempt to win over free-market voters," a campaign staffer for the president's re-election told us.

The website lists, among other things, a reduction in personal income tax (PIT) to 17%, zero PIT for young people, lower corporate income tax (CIT) for SMEs, "Small ZUS," the restored lower retirement age, and the repealed hydrocarbon tax.

- "During my five years as president, I have made every effort to significantly increase the standard of living for Poles and ensure my countrymen live better lives. That is why we introduced, among other things, zero PIT for the Young, 'Small ZUS' and 'Small ZUS Plus,' we lowered CIT for SMEs, and much more," wrote President Duda in the introduction.

The official presentation of the website will take place at 3:15 PM during a press conference with Piotr Müller, Waldemar Buda, and Radosław Fogiel, during which the politicians will attack the credibility of the Civic Platform candidate by listing taxes raised by the PO, including VAT, the disability insurance contribution, and car excise duty.

Hołownia Forms "Poland 2050" Civic Movement: We Want to Reach Mid-21st Century as Wiser, Deeper People in a Green, Solidary, Democratic, and Safe Poland

"This is not the end of the road, but its beginning. Many people treated my plans to run for president with reserve. They said, 'What is this, where did this person come from, who is behind him?' Now we know that 2,693,397 Poles are behind me. Some of them are participating in the movement that built this campaign. These are local government officials, activists, and volunteers gathered in "Szymon's Team." There are about 15,000 of them in Poland at the moment. It's surprising that from many places we are receiving signals that this number is not decreasing after the elections, but is growing, that people are only now starting to join us, believing that as a third voice on the political scene in Poland, we are capable not only of ending the era of the political duopoly of PiS and Civic Platform, but that we are capable of building on the ruins of this duopoly the thing we all care about" - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

"The movement we are creating today has, in fact, already been formed. We do not operate from the top down. We are sanctioning what has been born on its own and what has arisen on its own from the bottom, in the Poland we know and the Poland we would like, in a Poland of friends, of neighbors, of solving our real problems. From this wonderful momentum that contributed to this campaign, a civic movement will now emerge, which will take the form of an association and the name "Poland 2050" - he added.

"2050, because it is the time of a generation, roughly 30 years. This is the time frame taken into account in all demographic studies and climate forecasts. We want to reach the midpoint of the 21st century after 20 years as wiser, deeper people, in a Poland that is green, solidary, democratic, and safe" - said Hołownia. 


16:50

Hołownia:

I don't have my candidate in the second round, but I will vote. I will vote against something. Against the vision of the presidency, the vision of Poland presented by President Duda and PiS over the last 5 years.

First, I believe it is a civic duty to go to the polls. It is not only a right, but also our civic obligation. We cannot and should not shy away from taking responsibility for the fate of the community, because our decisions determine not only our own comfort and our own future, but the fate of the entire Polish community. I have voted in all elections in which I was eligible to vote since I turned 18. I do not intend to change this habit. I appeal to all those I can reach and who value my opinion or can at least consider it, to participate in these elections” - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

I, one of the 30 million 300 thousand Poles eligible to vote, can say directly today that I do not have my candidate in the second round. It so happened that I don't have one, but I will go to the polls and cast my vote. I will cast my vote, as I have had the privilege to do many times under Polish conditions, not for something, but against something. Against the vision of the presidency, the vision of Poland presented by President Andrzej Duda and his party - PiS over the last 5 years” - he added.

Our movement will not endorse any of the candidates running for office in the second round. We are a movement of free people. Each of us will make decisions according to our conscience, and so it should remain. I am not the master of your consciences. You will decide for yourselves, feeling your own responsibility, and I intend to respect this freedom, because this is how I want to build Poland” - Hołownia said. 


17:42

Trzaskowski:

We're Just 10 Days Away from Winning the Election. Determination, Faith, and the Strength I See in You Will Be Needed in the Campaign's Final Stretch

- We are only 10 days away from winning the election, which is why we need to try really hard over these last 10 days, above all to convince everyone who is still undecided. Determination, faith, and the strength I see in you will be needed in the final stretch of the campaign – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Chojnice.


17:43

Budka:

I hoped Szymon would be a positive person, voting for, not against. I believe in Hołownia's voters

"We are fighting for every vote. Every voter of Szymon Hołownia is just as important to us as Szymon Hołownia himself. I had hoped that Szymon would be a positive person, one who tries to vote for, rather than against. For me, it's important to show voters what unites us, to show that if they wanted change in the Presidential Palace, then Rafał Trzaskowski is precisely the symbol of change. I believe in Szymon Hołownia's voters" - said PO Chairman Borys Budka in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on "Political Interview" on TOK FM.


17:46

Budka:

This Isn't About Poland 2050. It's About a Poland That Could Soon Become a One-Party State. If Hołownia's Voters Want to Build Their Movement, the Guarantee of That Possibility Lies in a Change at the Presidential Palace.

The question is, what is more important. Whether we have a strong president, independent of Nowogrodzka, or some personal ambitions. We are saying clearly. Now is the time to vote responsibly. This isn't about Poland 2050. It's about a Poland that could soon turn into a one-party state. If Szymon Hołownia's voters want something new in politics, if they want to build their movement, then the guarantee that this will be possible is a change at the Presidential Palace” - stated Civic Platform leader Borys Budka in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM’s “Political Interview”.


17:46

Trzaskowski:

Mr. President, let's talk, but not on TVP Info; let's not stage another setup

- Today, unfortunately, we have a President from PiS who does not ask these difficult questions, who unfortunately cannot be an independent president, and who is even afraid to come to an open debate and does not want to discuss what is truly important to us. Therefore, once again, for the umpteenth time today, I address Mr. President. Mr. President, let's talk, but not on TVP Info, let's not stage another setup, but simply talk honestly about the future - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Chojnice.


17:49

Budka:

You Can't Be Offended by Election Results. You Can't Say 'This Isn't My Poland' or 'My Poland Will Be in 2050.' Poland Is Here and Now. Anyone Who Doesn't Vote Will Side with Duda

You cannot be offended by the election result. You cannot say that this is not my Poland, that my Poland will be in 2050. No, Poland is here and now. Poland is this specific, black-and-white choice. Today, everyone who does not go to these elections will be on Andrzej Duda's side. There will be huge mobilization there. It is important that we mobilize even more on the other side. That's why I hope for reflection, I believe it will happen. I know that Szymon Hołownia's voters will, in the vast majority, simply go to vote, and I thank them very much for that” - said PO chairman Borys Budka in TOK FM.


17:51

Trzaskowski:

Rulers and TVP Info Question Me Using 'Chernobyl' Comparisons. Are You the Ones Jeopardizing Our Youth's Future by Polluting the Environment?

- The rulers and TVP Info sometimes question me using phrasing like 'Chernobyl,' because we remember they use such comparisons during breakdowns. However, we have the right to ask: in a situation where you are polluting the environment, when you turn your backs on the biggest challenges facing the world, are you not inadvertently jeopardizing the opportunities for our youth? - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Chojnice.


17:56

Trzaskowski:

Hołownia Said There Must Be a Municipal Veto, a Veto on All Initiatives Aimed at Harming the Environment, a Democratic Veto. Mr. Szymon, I Agree With You On Everything.

- Today, Szymon Hołownia clearly stated what he cares about. He spoke about the necessity of a municipal veto. He said there must be a veto on all initiatives that aim to harm the environment. He spoke about the need for a democratic veto. Mr. Szymon, I agree with you on everything. Of course, these demands will be part of my program - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Chojnice.


17:57

Budka:

For 5 years, Duda was accustomed to the fawning eyes of some public television presenters. Today, he thinks Poland should look like this: without difficult questions, with propaganda he agreed to spend 2 billion PLN on.

[The TVP debate in Końskie] is a classic fix. The President is a coward. I am not afraid to use these words. If he were a responsible person, a statesman, which he tries to portray himself as, and not just a transmission belt from Nowogrodzka, he would stand manfully to the debate. He would stand face to face, he would talk about Poland. What will public media offer? More absurd questions about very unimportant matters that do not interest Poles? Only worldview issues, when people are losing their jobs, when the Polish economy is slowing down, when unemployment is increasing? For 5 years, President Andrzej Duda was accustomed to the fawning eyes of some public television presenters. Today, he thinks Poland should look like this: without difficult questions, with propaganda, for which he agreed to spend 2 billion zlotys this year alone, with reports in the so-called "Wiadomości" (News), which are in fact spots for Andrzej Duda, not reliable information” – said Civic Platform chairman Borys Budka in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM's "Political Interview".


18:00

Trzaskowski:

A Commission to Rectify Wrongs Will Be Established in the Presidential Chancellery. For All Those Harmed by This Government

- A commission to rectify wrongs will be established in the presidential chancellery. For all those who have been harmed by this government. Where everyone will be able to report as a witness, to speak about the successive scandals of those in power, and there are plenty of them - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Chojnice.


18:00

Budka:

Participating in the TVP Debate Will Be Rafał's Decision, But It Must Be a Debate, Not a Staged Event Like Public Television Programs

[Participation in the TVP debate] will be Rafał’s decision. We want to talk primarily about the program, about the vision for Poland. This is meant to be a duel between two individuals fighting for voters’ votes. These will be campaign team decisions, but it must be a debate, not a staged event that looks like public television programs. We see what is happening. It’s not for no reason that Kurski remained at TVP, despite Andrzej Duda promising something completely different” - said the Civic Platform (PO) leader Borys Budka on TOK FM.


18:07

Trzaskowski:

Once a president called his political rival, whom he probably disliked and who is now in Brussels, 'a chicken'. Today, unfortunately, that word is used against you, Mr. President. Karma returns, Mr. President.

- I don't know if you are aware that once the president called his political rival, whom he probably disliked – because, generally speaking, PiS politicians are constantly fighting a shadow, an imaginary enemy, so he probably disliked this rival – who is now in Brussels. He said, he used the word 'cykor' (chicken). Today, this is a very popular word among young people, on social media. But today, Mr. President, and I lament this because the authority of the president is very important, today, unfortunately, this word is used against you. This energy returns, this karma returns, Mr. President - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Chojnice. 


19:49

Komorowski:

I believe the chances are very even and the final result will not make a big difference in the number of votes cast for the candidates.
I believe the chances are very even and the final result will not make a big difference in the number of votes cast for the candidates, because naturally President Duda has an advantage at the moment in terms of percentage and the number of votes he received in the first round. But Rafał Trzaskowski has a greater chance of acquiring new voters, because he has a pool to draw them from - said Bronisław Komorowski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

19:53

Komorowski:

Trzaskowski Should Consciously Make Gestures Today That Show He Doesn't Want to Be President of a Single Political Party

- He [Trzaskowski] should consciously, starting today, make all gestures, take all actions that would indicate he doesn't want to be president of a single political party. That was President Duda's mistake - said Bronisław Komorowski on Polsat News.

- He must show that he is better in this regard than President Duda, who is entangled with a political party - added the former president.


19:58

Komorowski:

"Platforma was an incredibly important vehicle in the first round. In the second round, Trzaskowski won't lose PO supporters' votes. His task is to win over those who are not enthusiastic about PO."

- I suggest that he [Trzaskowski] take steps that would demonstrate a conscious distancing from party politics, in favour of supra-party politics. Platforma was an incredibly important vehicle, without which he would have achieved nothing in the first round. In the second round of the election, in my opinion, he will not lose the votes of Platforma supporters, and it turned out there are very many of them, almost 30%. His task is to win over those who are not enthusiastic about Platforma. I believe there is full understanding within Platforma as well - said Bronisław Komorowski on Polsat News.


20:02

Komorowski:

It seems to me the assumption was that 500+ was meant to help with the demographic crisis. Nothing has budged. Trzaskowski could present a more in-depth family policy package.
- It seems to me the assumption was that [500+] was meant to help with the demographic crisis. Nothing has budged - said Bronisław Komorowski on Polsat News. - Rafał Trzaskowski could present a package, a more in-depth family policy package with a head, not just emotions - added the former president.

20:08

Rymanowski on Attracting New Voters: We'll See Who is a Better Hunter. Komorowski: Hunting Isn't About Dragging a Boar to Your Side. That's Not a Good Comparison

- Rafał Trzaskowski has a better chance of catching voters from the different electorates of his previous rivals. The question is whether that will be enough to make up for the 13% difference - Bronisław Komorowski said on Polsat News.

- We'll see who is a better hunter - stated Bogdan Rymanowski.

- In hunting, it's not about dragging a boar to your side, it's about something completely different. That's not a good comparison - replied the former president.


20:28

Bielan:

This Result Gives Us a Very High Chance of Victory, But Not Certainty. We Cannot Be Demobilized

- This result gives us a very high chance of victory, but it doesn't guarantee that victory. We cannot be demobilized, which is why I appeal to everyone who is keeping their fingers crossed for the President to get involved in our campaign that we launched today – 'Poland Unites Us'. Election materials, banners, posters, and leaflets are available for collection at our regional and district offices. We very much ask for your help in distributing these materials. Thanks to you, we can celebrate victory in two weeks - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Danuta Holecka on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".


20:31

Hołownia:

If Trzaskowski takes the 4 demands seriously and without selectivity, committing to them, it will be a signal for many of my voters

I am pleased because it means that if Rafał Trzaskowski becomes president, Poland will be one point better off. We, my movement and I, do not fight like lions to fence off our demands so that no one else can ever use them. We wrote them to be implemented and to change Poland. If Rafał Trzaskowski takes these 4 demands seriously, without selectivity, and commits to observing them, it will be a signal for many voters who supported me” - said Szymon Hołownia, leader of the Poland 2050 movement, in an interview with Diana Rudnik on „Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24.


20:32

Hołownia:

Duda Should Not Be President For Another Moment, While PO Candidate's Program Was Rushed

"I believe that Andrzej Duda certainly should not be the President of the Republic for another moment, while the PO candidate prepared his program on his knees, at the last minute. The Civic Platform also behaved as they did during this campaign. This is not the way of doing politics that is my ideal or is close to me at all. However, this unfortunate presidency that we currently have must be ended," said Szymon Hołownia, leader of the Poland 2050 movement, on TVN24.


20:34

Bielan:

All these public opinion pollsters hyping Trzaskowski are backfiring

- The polls conducted before the first round underestimated President Duda's result and overestimated our main rival's. I'm pleased with the effect, because it only mobilizes our supporters and voters to go to the polls. So, all these public opinion pollsters hyping Rafał Trzaskowski are backfiring. Our polls will not scare us. We will work very hard until the last day, until the last hour – stated Adam Bielan on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości" program.


20:42

Bielan:

Trzaskowski is the Most Left-Leaning Mayor of the Capital; He is Implementing a Leftist Agenda for the First Time in History, Introducing the LGBT Card and Other Leftist Group Demands, Funding These Groups

- I am convinced that the voters of Konfederacja, which was built around the idea of the Independence March, will not be fooled by these overtures from Rafał Trzaskowski. Rafał Trzaskowski is the most left-leaning president of the capital; he is implementing a leftist agenda for the first time in history, introducing the LGBT card and other demands of leftist groups, and he is funding these groups, for instance, by financing events like the Warsaw Biennale, where workshops on almost street fights are organized. This is fodder for extreme organizations like Antifa, for example, and I am convinced that Konfederacja voters are perfectly aware of this. Moreover, I am pleased by the declaration of Krzysztof Bosak, who ran and achieved a decent result; I congratulate him on that, and who said today that he will participate in the elections and will definitely not vote for Rafał Trzaskowski. So, the conclusion is obvious. We thank Krzysztof Bosak for this support - stated Adam Bielan in "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.


20:44

Bosak:

We Respect the Intelligence and Autonomy of Our Voters and Don't Want to Tell Them Whom to Support
- We will not support either of these gentlemen, nor will I say which one I am closer to. We respect the intelligence and autonomy of our voters and do not want to tell them whom to support, because we believe that neither of these gentlemen has striven in recent years of their public careers to implement our program of economic freedom, social conservatism, or safeguarding our state's sovereignty. What awaits us over the next two weeks is social engineering. Duda's and Trzaskowski's campaign teams will be vying with each other in various tricks, gestures… - Krzysztof Bosak said on Kropka nad I.

20:47

Bosak:

Our Confederation Optics Suggest No Significant Differences Between Duda and Trzaskowski. Both Follow Politically Correct Mainstream.
"- Our optics in the Confederation are that both Andrzej Duda and Rafał Trzaskowski do not differ significantly. Duda started in the Freedom Union, Trzaskowski was educated as a Eurocrat. On the issue of the EU and international policy, I have not registered any significant differences between them. Both follow the politically correct mainstream, avoiding any troublesome topics like the overbearing presence of the American ambassador in Warsaw, the frozen Stop 447 law, or the property claims of Jewish organizations from the USA. Neither of these gentlemen has uttered any politically incorrect statements. Denunciation of the Istanbul Convention - this is a popular postulate among Polish conservatives. Full protection of unborn life. When we are told that they differ profoundly from each other, we say that this is not the case," - said Krzysztof Bosak in Kropka nad I..

20:47

Bielan:

We are ready for a debate before the second round, but not at Trzaskowski's campaign headquarters at TVN on Wiertnicza Street, but on normal terms.
- President Duda is the first Polish president to participate in debates before the first round. His predecessor Bronisław Komorowski, but also other presidents seeking re-election, always refused to debate before the first round. They said that a potential debate would only take place between the first and second rounds. President Duda participated not in one, but in two debates - stated Adam Bielan on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości". - We are, of course, ready for a debate before the second round, but not at Rafał Trzaskowski's campaign headquarters, located at Wiertnicza Street, at the TVN headquarters, but on normal terms. Recently, after a debate in which Rafał Trzaskowski did not perform well, Trzaskowski disliked both the questions and the format of that debate, which is why, as I understand it, TVP is changing the format today and is giving the floor, the questions, to viewers and voters - he continued.

20:56

Bosak:

My Campaign Goal Was to Increase Support Among Women, Exit Polls Partially Showed Success, and I Plan to Continue in This Direction
"I expressed my feelings regarding Mr. Janusz's statements in a post on my Facebook. The situation he described might have occurred a hundred years ago, whereas today women independently decide on their political preferences. In fact, I set my goal for this campaign to increase support among women, which I declared from the beginning, and exit poll results have partially shown the achievement of this goal, and I intend to continue in this direction. I will try to convince Janusz Korwin-Mikke, but a politician who is nearly 80 years old has such crystallized views that I might not succeed in convincing him. He has his own style; one can love him or hate him, but we all know him because he is so distinctive" - said Krzysztof Bosak in Kropka nad I.

20:58

Bielan:

I know Witek is ready to convene a Sejm session on the tourist voucher instantly. But the Senate's stance on this matter also shows what could await us if someone like Trzaskowski became president

- I know that Marshal Witek is ready to convene a Sejm session instantly as soon as the Senate finally deals with this issue [the tourist voucher act], but we are still waiting for it. But the Senate's stance on the tourist voucher also shows what could await us if someone like Rafał Trzaskowski became president – stated Adam Bielan on TVP Info’s “Gość Wiadomości”.


21:01

Bosak:

Different Formats Could Give Candidates Perfect Excuse to Avoid Debate. TVP Debate Was Clumsy, But Still Better Than No TVN Debate
- I wish all the major television stations would agree and hold one debate. Different formats across different media outlets can provide both candidates with the perfect pretext to avoid a debate. The station we are speaking on has made it easier for both these gentlemen to wriggle out of debates. The TVP debate was very clumsy, but still better than the TVN debate, which didn't happen at all - said Krzysztof Bosak on Kropka nad I.
