Macierewicz:

The number of lies TVN has told about the investigation into the Smolensk tragedy truly exceeds all acceptable limits. Defending TVN's lies seems simply very strange.

- The number of lies that TVN has uttered on the subject of the investigation into the Smolensk tragedy truly exceeds all acceptable limits. So, the genesis related to the special services, as I've already said, has immense significance. Therefore, it's worth remembering it when speaking about TVN. Defending TVN's lies seems simply very strange – Antoni Macierewicz stated in an interview with Dorota Kania on Polskie Radio 24.

- I have no intention whatsoever of attacking foreign owners. I am merely stating that the personnel of TVN, the journalism of TVN, is based on individuals who promote people from the former special services – he added.

Macierewicz:

We Welcome Western Investments, But Their Media Influence Should Have Limits; I Hope Such Legislation is Introduced in Poland
- We are very happy with foreign Western investments in our country, but they have their limits in the media. It is very good if foreign representatives participate and operate within them, but only within a certain specified scope. I hope such legislation will be introduced in Poland, because sometimes there is an impression that Polish social life is medially dominated from a perspective that is often simply incompetent, poorly acquainted with Polish conditions, and very focused on brutally attacking the activities of governments aimed at improving the situation of the Polish population - Antoni Macierewicz said on Polish Radio 24.

08:07

Macierewicz:

Continuing the Development of the Bełchatów Mine and Power Plant is Crucial

- I can talk about, for instance, how important it is to continue the development of the Bełchatów mine and power plant. I say this not because I am a Member of Parliament, but because it is one of the most important, if not the most important, enterprises from the perspective of Poland's energy sovereignty, supplying one-third of the electricity for the entire country. Its development is an absolutely fundamental issue, which is why undertaking new economic initiatives that will develop Bełchatów is very important - said Antoni Macierewicz on Polish Radio 24.


08:34

Gowin:

It was clear from the start that this fight would be very close. I was certain of PAD's victory

- It was clear from the start that this fight would be very close. I was certain of President Duda's victory, I even made a bet, but I predicted a slightly larger margin, 52 to 48. On the one hand, the smallest margin, as you say, on the other hand, the highest number of votes, so one can look at these results from both perspectives - stated Jarosław Gowin in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


08:36

Szczerski:

President Duda's First Second-Term Visit to Rome and the Vatican – Likely Early Autumn This Year

"The President, even during the first presidential debate, stated that he would like to pay his first visit of his second term, also after the pandemic, to Rome and the Vatican, as it would be symbolic. Italy, which had a difficult pandemic situation, was able to overcome it and is returning to normal. We are indeed trying to ensure this happens. This will likely be in early autumn this year" – said Minister Krzysztof Szczerski on Jedynka radio.


08:43

Szczerski:

In a second term, the President becomes a dean in international relations, as few individuals win the presidential office twice through popular vote, granting them significant authority.

It is the nature of things that a second term has a different character because the circumstances of holding office are different. It is a term in which the president also becomes a dean in international relations. One can say so, because there are not many individuals who win the presidential office twice through popular vote, and these are usually people who are subsequently recognized in international relations as individuals with great authority. This, in turn, changes the country's position because the opportunities for influence are greater” – said Minister Krzysztof Szczerski on Radio Jedynka.


08:46

Gowin:

We Must Create a New, More Convincing Offer for the Younger Generation
Regarding the conclusions drawn from this campaign, one is undeniable. We lost the election among young voters, the younger generation - stated Jarosław Gowin in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - We must create a new, more convincing offer for the younger generation. We have 3 years for this, and now we need to focus on analyzing the research results, and secondly, on drawing conclusions - he continued.

08:54

Gowin:

The Core Conclusion is That Poland Must Be Mended

- I hope this will be a certain leitmotif for President Duda's second term. The core conclusion is that Poland must be mended, because 10.5 million voters for President Duda, 10 million voters for Rafał Trzaskowski – it's split in half, and moreover, a very deep split, because the emotions were strong – stated Jarosław Gowin in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.


08:59

Gowin:

Decentralization or even repolonization must occur through market methods. Statutory repolonization would contradict EU law
“We did not discuss repolonization, what Minister Kowalski calls repolonization. If anything, I prefer to talk about decentralization, but this decentralization, or even repolonization, must occur through market methods,” stated Jarosław Gowin in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24. “This [statutory repolonization of media] would be completely contrary to EU law, whereas there are mechanisms that are successfully used in countries which, for both the editor and myself, and probably for the majority of viewers, are a good point of reference when it comes to democratic standards, such as Germany,” he continued.

09:55

Emilewicz:

First, We Should All Rejoice in the President's Victory, and We Will Likely Discuss a Reshuffle, If It Happens, After the Holidays

“[Decisions on government changes] will be made by the leaders of the parties in the United Right camp. Today, we primarily want to celebrate the victory of President Andrzej Duda. It is a time to thank all voters – not just the President” – said Deputy Prime Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus. 

“First, we should all rejoice in this victory, and we will likely discuss a reshuffle, if it happens, after the holidays” – she added.


09:58

Emilewicz on the Tourist Voucher: If It's Successful, We'll Want to Keep This Program Longer, and Then Expanding to Other Groups Would Be Possible

"We assume that if this solution, the tourist voucher, is successful, which today is a COVID-related, one-off solution, we will want to, I will be convincing, I will be talking with colleagues in the government, with the Prime Minister, so that we keep this program for longer, and then expanding it to other groups, I think, would be possible" – said Deputy Prime Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz on Radio Plus. 


10:09

Gowin:

I See No Reason to Replace Prime Minister Morawiecki
- First, programmatic decisions, because it is clear that we need to develop a program for the next 3 years in conditions much worse than anticipated last autumn when we won the elections, as no one foresaw the pandemic then - stated Jarosław Gowin in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - I see no reasons why we should replace Prime Minister Morawiecki. Please note that one of the most important chords of Polish and European politics in the coming months will be negotiations regarding the future EU budget. I believe that Prime Minister Morawiecki is excellently suited to conduct these negotiations - he continued.

We've prepared a special website, protestwyborczy2020.pl. On this site, you will find all possible forms and instructions, so that you can independently file a protest or fill out a form we've already prepared. Through this website, we also offer all legal and logistical assistance regarding electoral protests. We know that these elections were important, we are aware of the irregularities – said Barbara Nowacka during a press conference.

11:36

Tomczyk:

As an electoral committee, we are preparing an electoral protest to be sent to the Supreme Court to summarize the entire campaign and show the scale of manipulation and propaganda.

- As an electoral committee, we are preparing an electoral protest that will be sent to the Supreme Court. This is to summarize the entire campaign from the committee's perspective, to show the scale of manipulation, the scale of propaganda, and the scale of what we were up against - said Cezary Tomczyk during a press conference.

PM:

We have a plan for further integration, for Orlen to further take over PGNiG, to avoid competing in certain foreign markets where we don't need to compete with each other.

"I wanted to congratulate you, to thank you for your enormous commitment in carrying out this process. This process is one of the most important processes for shaping the Polish economy. Ahead of us are decades of investment in new technologies, research, development, implementation, and in the energy transformation, for which Orlen, an enlarged Orlen, is a key entity. To carry out such a complex economic process, appropriate capital strength is necessary. Capabilities that emerge with scale are essential. Our companies, great Polish champions, are only medium-sized corporations on a European scale" - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

"Our intention is a plan for further integration, for Orlen to further take over PGNiG, to avoid competing in certain foreign markets where we don't need to compete with each other, and where we can increase our capabilities to utilize synergies in the retail market" - he added.


15:10

Czaputowicz:

We Recovered 83% of Ballot Packages from Poles Abroad. This is a Very Good Result and System Efficiency. In 2015, the Return Rate was 66%

We are seeing a significant increase in the number of Poles participating in elections. We are very pleased about this. It shows that Poles living abroad feel a connection to Poland, are aware of their belonging to Polish society, and exercise their rights. In this situation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' task is to ensure that Poles living abroad can exercise their constitutional rights, i.e., participate in elections” - Minister Jacek Czaputowicz said at a press conference.

We sent out ballot packages - 480,000 packages. Of these, we received back exactly 399,360 envelopes, which constitutes 83%. This is a very good result. We were surprised by such a good outcome, such a positive response from Poles, as well as the efficiency of the system. In 2015, this return rate was 66%, which is a significant increase” - he added. 


15:23

Czaputowicz Asked About Suggestions Regarding KO's Motion for His Resignation: I Attribute It to a Certain Nervousness, Anticipation of the Final Result, and Hopes of Reversing the Electoral Outcome
“It is an electoral process and emotions are very high. I attribute it to a certain nervousness, anticipation of the final result, and hopes of reversing the electoral outcome. In my opinion, that is where they come from. I do not want to appear as someone involved in political disputes. I avoided making statements during the election campaign” – said Minister Jacek Czaputowicz at a press conference.

17:51

Fogiel on potential PiS-PSL coalition: No such talks. The government coalition has stable parliamentary support.

- There are no such talks. As for the governing coalition, it has stable parliamentary support. We recently had the best proof of this during the vote of confidence for Prime Minister Morawiecki's government, but of course, we always say this and make our position clear: whether in local government or in the Senate, if someone wants to join the 'good change', wants to work for Poland, and believes our program is something they identify with, then our doors are always open - Radosław Fogiel said in an interview with Adrian Klarenbach on Polish Radio 24.


17:55

Fogiel:

Platforma May Face Turbulence. Trzaskowski Has Grown Significantly in Political Standing

- Setting aside political sympathies and antipathies, and approaching this as analytically as possible in my case, it's true that Platforma may face some turbulence. A new leader has emerged; of course, Rafał Trzaskowski was a vice-chairman of PO, but he has grown tremendously in political significance – said Radosław Fogiel on Polskie Radio 24.


19:48

Budka:

Today I met with sociologists. I commissioned specific analyses. A lot of work lies ahead of us in the East

- Now we are drawing conclusions, analysing. We have already spoken with Rafał Trzaskowski, with the campaign staff, tomorrow the Board of the Civic Platform, so we are acting very quickly. Tomorrow there will be a report on the campaign activities. Today I had a meeting with sociologists. I commissioned specific analyses. A lot of work lies ahead of us. In politics, it is important to use experts. The analysis is primarily where something didn't go as planned. A lot of work lies ahead of us in the East - Borys Budka said in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.


19:53

Budka on Reasons for Trzaskowski's Defeat: Scaring People with Trzaskowski and Colliding with a Campaign Costing Tens of Millions of Public Funds

- I assess the campaign team's work very well, their commitment very well. The clear message, the clear communication. It was just a little bit lacking - said Borys Budka on Polsat News.

- What happened? - Dorota Gawryluk asked.

- Unfortunately, scaring people with Rafał Trzaskowski and colliding with a campaign that, in our estimation, cost tens of millions of public funds - replied the leader of Civic Platform (PO).


19:58

Budka:

President Duda Did Not Win in a Sporting Competition

- What public media are doing, where two billion zlotys were pumped in to make it Andrzej Duda's campaign headquarters, where Rafał Trzaskowski has been attacked non-stop in recent days. This shows that unfortunately, President Andrzej Duda did not win in a sporting competition - said Borys Budka on Polsat News.


20:04

Trzaskowski:

It was indeed close, but it was known from the start that it would be difficult

I always believe the glass is half full. Lots of energy. Firstly, a big thank you to all those who voted for me. A big thank you to all the opposition competitors, because they also mobilized a lot of people to cast their votes. It was indeed close, but it was known from the start that it would be difficult, because on the other side there was the entire state apparatus, propaganda, all institutions, the entire Council of Ministers, a lot of money, and on our side there was common sense and a lot of citizens. I am very grateful for this, and it gives us a lot of hope for the future – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


20:07

Trzaskowski:

I am the Mayor of Warsaw. I have no intention of resigning

- First and foremost, I am the Mayor of Warsaw. No, I have no intention of resigning. It is a wonderful job that I really enjoy, and I also remember how I had a week of deliberations when I decided to run for the highest office in the state, because Warsaw is an absolutely fascinating thing, building a city - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).


20:16

Trzaskowski:

There will be an attack on local governments, even stronger

- We have to be together again [local government officials] because we will be the next target of this monopoly of power, which cannot tolerate independent institutions, and there will certainly be an attack on local governments, even stronger. The finances of local governments are in a very difficult situation right now, as we emerge from the epidemic, a crisis is approaching, and the government is not helping us, but rather hindering our actions. Therefore, we must be together, and there is truly something to build. Because we must continue to fight for Poland to be a democratic state, for there not to be a government that tries to make all independent institutions dependent on itself. So, there is indeed a lot to do
- stated Rafał Trzaskowski in TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


20:21

Trzaskowski:

We Must Not Be Offended by Political Parties, But Rebuild Them. We Certainly Need to Open Up to New People, New Ideas

- First and foremost, we have political parties, and I appeal to everyone that we must not be offended by political parties, but rather rebuild them. And I spoke with Borys Budka that we certainly need to open up to new people, to new ideas. We must draw conclusions from this campaign - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- To rebuild means, above all, to clearly define our program, to discuss it, to clearly show everyone what we are actually about. It seems to me that the narrative we constructed during the election campaign with citizens, local governments, but also with those political parties that supported me, is a narrative about a free, proud, European Poland, one in which people are not divided into the equal and the more equal, a Poland in which we stand by every weaker person, by everyone who is attacked. I believe this is a beautiful narrative, and our goal at the moment is to prepare such a program, such a programmatic basis for the party itself, so that it resonates and so that the Platform looks completely different in the future, but we must do much more, namely, we cannot leave this incredible civic energy, because it was a civic campaign, to itself, but we must try to involve as many people as possible and build even more alongside the party - he continued.


20:26

Obajtek:

This Merger Has Been Discussed Since 1998, for 22 Years, but There Was No Courage to Execute It. This is How Large Concerns Are Built in Europe. There Was Great Determination from Orlen, Prime Minister Morawiecki, and It Succeeded.
- We cannot be manipulated in this way, and it is normal that we will buy oil through an integrated concern, and the more oil we buy for the region, the better prices we will get. It will pay off for all of us. This merger has been discussed since 1998, for 22 years, but there was no courage to execute it. This is how large concerns are built in Europe. There was great determination from Orlen, Mr. Prime Minister Morawiecki, Sasin, and Deputy Prime Minister Emilewicz, and it succeeded - said Daniel Obajtek in GW TVP.

20:28

Obajtek:

We Must Unite and Undergo Transformation, Combine R&D Funds, as Hydrogen May Be Our Future and Requires United Forces
"This is the EC's approval and we will implement remedial measures for a year, and both brands will remain, but we will achieve full integration. This is why we want to acquire another concern, to create a large concern that will have significantly greater investment capabilities, which will build strength in other markets. For this, we must be united and undergo transformation, combine funds for research and development because perhaps in the future we will use hydrogen and for this, united forces are needed. Such synergies among concerns in Europe happened much earlier; we pondered for 22 years, and if we had done it earlier, the concern's strength would have been much greater," said Daniel Obajtek on GW TVP.

20:30

Obajtek:

This Year We Will Spend 8 Billion on Investments, Lotos is Also Needed for Petrochemical Industry Contribution, and These Investments Will Be Significantly Higher with Optimized Costs
- In such a large industry, investment is necessary. This year, we will spend 8 billion on investment. Lotos is also needed for its contribution to the petrochemical industry, and these investments will be significantly higher with optimized costs. Synergy will lead to higher profits and higher investments - said Daniel Obajtek on GW TVP.

20:31

Trzaskowski:

It's clear one move, one party isn't enough; we need to broaden our reach, we need to cooperate. The civic energy that has been unleashed must be utilized.
I won't speak of uniting anything, because naturally, I feel I am the custodian of the great hope that has emerged in Poland. However, I don't want to talk right now about consolidating everyone, as first, we need to discuss with everyone else what future cooperation should look like. Each political party, perhaps also Szymon Hołownia's movement, which he wants to establish, has its own autonomy. But it's important that we cooperate with each other. Because it was evident in this second round of elections how close it was. It's clear that one move, one party isn't enough; we need to broaden our reach, we need to cooperate, that this civic energy which has been unleashed must be utilized – stated Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

20:32

Obajtek:

Building a Multi-Energy Company Serves the Creation of a Champion to Drive Poland's Energy Transformation
- This is the hard work of myself, Prime Minister Morawiecki, and Minister Sasin; it's the building of a European champion, the creation of a company tasked with significant investment. Building a multi-energy company serves the creation of a champion that has the mission to build Poland's energy transformation. From low-emission sources to zero-emission sources, and to achieve this, we must be an integrated concern. The very shift from coal to gas technology is already an optimization - said Daniel Obajtek on GW TVP.

20:34

Trzaskowski:

Today is certainly not the time for maliciousness and blame-shifting

- I believe that today is certainly not the time for maliciousness and blame-shifting. Because I see various comments where frustration and an attempt to shift responsibility onto someone else sometimes dominate. I believe that first and foremost, we should all start with ourselves – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


20:34

Obajtek:

MOL Has Revenues of 70 Billion, OMV Has 100 Billion, and We Will Have 200 Billion and Be the Strongest Company in This Part of Europe. We Will Utilize the Energy Transformation Fund.
"MOL has revenues of 70 billion, OMV has 100 billion, and we will have 200 billion and be the strongest company in this part of Europe. We will utilize the energy transformation fund," said Daniel Obajtek on GW TVP.

20:35

Trzaskowski:

It's already visible today that PiS wants to toughen its stance. They want to attack free media and perhaps eliminate them. They want to attack local governments, they want to continue finishing their pseudo-reform of the judiciary.
PiS, it's already visible today, wants to toughen its stance, they want to attack free media and perhaps eliminate them. They want to attack local governments, they want to continue finishing their pseudo-reform of the judiciary, meaning further limiting the independence of courts, and we must have a response to this - stated Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts after Facts).

20:36

Obajtek:

Orlen's Profits Skyrocket Under Current Government, Fuel Mafia Era Ends
- During the PO (Civic Platform) government's tenure, over 8 years, Orlen's profit was 2 billion 900 million PLN. In the span of 4 years, Orlen has made a profit of 23 billion PLN. Of course, the crisis and the pandemic are causing a decrease in revenue, but we will survive this period because the company previously generated very large funds. This entire pathology of the fuel mafia has finally ended. The mafias have stopped destroying our national business. It was a draining of Poles because if less fuel was sold at stations, prices were higher. The mafias plundered the budget's profits, but Poles also lost a second time because refineries did not operate at full capacity, and the unit price at the station was higher. The more is produced in a shorter period of time, the lower the price is - said Daniel Obajtek in GW TVP.

Trzaskowski on the President's Invitation: 'It Was Renewed. I Couldn't This Week. I Proposed the End of the Month, Whenever the President Has Time. We'll Be Preparing the Warsaw Uprising Anniversary Then.'

The invitation [from PAD] was renewed. I couldn't make it this week. I proposed the end of the month, whenever the President has time. We will then be preparing for the next anniversary celebrations [of the outbreak] of the Warsaw Uprising, so I will be seeing the President, and we will meet at some point during that time” – said the Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24.

Trzaskowski on meeting with President Duda: We'll see if spouses join. I think primarily the two of us should meet. It's not about putting on a show, but about seriously discussing the expectations of the other half of Poland.

"We'll see [if spouses join]. I think primarily the two of us should meet. It's not about putting on a show, but about seriously discussing what the expectations of the other half of Poland are towards the President. I will certainly make many gestures, because I believe Poland needs to be stitched together" - said the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, in an interview with Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24.

Zybertowicz to Kowal: Tell me, Paweł, how did you feel when there wasn't a single Polish flag at Rafał Trzaskowski's last election night event?
- Tell me, Paweł, how did you feel when there wasn't a single Polish flag at Rafał Trzaskowski's last election night event? – Andrzej Zybertowicz asked Paweł Kowal at the beginning of Kropka nad I. - I've learned one thing in life: people sometimes have many flags in their hands but little Polishness and respect for others in their souls – replied Paweł Kowal. And all of this was in response to the host's opening question about Jarosław Kaczyński's words regarding Polishness in Rafał Trzaskowski's heart.

Zybertowicz:

The cover of Fakt, controlled by German capital, was clearly a provocation – it photographed the president with text configured to elicit a subconscious reaction
- Whether Germany interfered in our elections will probably be described by some counterintelligence officer in their memoirs someday. However, the cover of the daily Fakt, controlled by German capital, whose employees are, according to its editor-in-chief, all Polish passport holders, was clearly a provocation – it not only abused Rafał Trzaskowski's narrative but also photographed the president with text configured in such a way as to elicit a subconscious reaction: this man has a problem with inclinations – said Andrzej Zybertowicz in Kropka nad I.

Before 2015, There Was One Television. I'd Turn on Polsat's Wydarzenia, then Fakty, then TVP Wiadomości, and Everywhere Was the Same Information and a Lack of the Same Information
"- Before 2015, there was one television. I would turn on Polsat's Wydarzenia first, then Fakty, and then TVP Wiadomości, and everywhere there was the same information and a lack of the same information. And only when I turned on TV Trwam did I learn that another layer of reality existed," Andrzej Zybertowicz said on Kropka nad I.

Zybertowicz:

And Why Did Bronisław Komorowski Bring That Pennant to You? Did He Think You Were Closer to Civic Platform Than He Was?
- The opposing candidate, along with a group of private broadcasters, without waiting for agreements between the campaign teams – which is a part of political culture worldwide, that teams negotiate with each other – came forward with a debate proposal, Andrzej Zybertowicz said on Kropka nad I. - And why did Bronisław Komorowski bring that pennant to you? Did he think you were closer to Civic Platform than he was? Zybertowicz said to the host after her intervention, recalling a debate from 2015. - And do you know where that pennant ended up? So please watch it again and without such suggestions, Monika Olejnik replied.
