The Sejm will resume its deliberations at 9:00. An hour later, at 10:00, a three-hour voting block will commence. Subsequently, at 13:00, questions on current affairs are scheduled, and at 15:15 – a current information session, requested by the Civic Coalition parliamentary club, "regarding the involvement of state institutions in the electoral process during the presidential elections in the Republic of Poland, including the organization of elections by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the use of the RCB alert sent before the second round of elections, and the involvement of public media."

Emilewicz:

I See No Grounds to Invalidate the Elections

- We conducted the [presidential] elections under very difficult conditions, and they are not being questioned. Electoral protests, of course, can be filed until Thursday, in accordance with the law. I see no grounds to invalidate the elections. An electoral act was prepared, passed by the parliamentary majority, and under these difficult conditions, the elections were successfully held. Despite all the harassments that the opposition coalition accused us of, such as that we would not admit a new candidate, that we would not consider it, that it was a new electoral cycle. Everything happened in accordance with the law under very difficult conditions - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".

Emilewicz:

Today, the challenge for all of us, responsible politicians, is to lower the temperature of political disputes
This campaign indeed had a very high temperature of political disputes, too high in my opinion, but the opposition also did not hold back. If you are quoting these statements, we remember various remarks directed not only at opponents but also at voters – stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24. - Today, the challenge for all of us, responsible politicians, is to lower the temperature of political disputes. To achieve a situation where, when we walk down the street, and people who did not vote for President Duda recognize us, they will not behave inappropriately on the street because of it, as this will lead us into a dead end. And today, this responsibility rests to a very large extent on President Duda – the Deputy Prime Minister continued.

08:17

Emilewicz:

A Conversation with Cities and Their Residents Awaits Us. Kowalski is a Very Young Politician; Uttering Three Decidedly Too Sharp Sentences Leads to TVN Citations, Boosting His Recognition. Sometimes These Statements Are Calculated for Such Purp
I would rather say that a conversation with cities, with the residents of cities, awaits us, because we should draw very detailed consequences from these elections as well. Member of Parliament Kowalski is one of the deputy ministers, he is also a very young politician, and I understand that his temperament leads him to utter three too sharp, decidedly too sharp sentences, which results in editor Piasecki quoting him on TVN, thus increasing his recognition. I think that sometimes these statements are calculated for such goals - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

08:23

Emilewicz:

We Must Certainly Consider How to Re-engage with Young People Who Voted in Large Numbers for the President 5 Years Ago, But Not Necessarily Now

- We must certainly consider how to make it happen, how to re-establish contact with young people who voted in large numbers for the president 5 years ago, but not necessarily now, and with city residents, which I have been talking about for a long time, since the Energia Plus program - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


08:28

Emilewicz:

The Prime Minister Was Actually Charged Over the Shield. I Don't Understand This Report, I Don't Know What the Editor-in-Chief of 'Wiadomości' Meant by Constructing Such a Report

- I haven't seen this report [from Monday's 'Wiadomości'], but the Prime Minister was actually charged over the shield. Per saldo, over the shield. I don't understand this report, I don't know what the editor-in-chief of 'Wiadomości' meant by constructing such a report - stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


08:32

Emilewicz:

It's fake news that PM Morawiecki could be dismissed. He has a very strong position today, primarily due to his ability to govern the country in times of crisis.

- I believe it's complete fake news [that Prime Minister Morawiecki could be dismissed]. I think he has a very strong position today, primarily due to his ability to govern the country in times of crisis – stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

Müller on Expanding the Coalition: 'If there are MPs, Senators Who Want to Join in Changing the Country, We Are Open to Such People'

- In politics, one should not, at least usually, be too firm and say that something is impossible. President Andrzej Duda, even before the elections, announced that he would like to be the patron of such a coalition of Polish affairs. Therefore, if there are individuals, politicians, MPs, senators who would like to join in changing the country, in positive programs, in reforms, then of course we are open to such people - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Salon polityczny" (Political Salon) on Radio Trójka.


08:40

Müller on the Prime Minister's Campaign Activities: There Were a Few Towns Along the Way with Rallies, No Meetings with Local Officials. These Were Financed from the President's Electoral Committee Budget

- Regarding all campaign expenditures in President Andrzej Duda's campaign, and I hope similarly in Rafał Trzaskowski's case, there are reports. These will be submitted precisely in the coming weeks, and they contain all invoices, for example, for campaign-style events, various rallies - said Piotr Müller on Radio Trójka.

- If [the Prime Minister's campaign activity] has the character of a campaign rally, as for instance, there were a few towns along the way with rallies, there were no meetings with local officials, it was a typical political rally, and then it was financed from the budget of the President's electoral committee - added the government spokesperson.


08:41

Müller:

Even if errors occurred in the electoral process, lessons must be learned, but they do not affect the outcome, as the margin between candidates is too large

- We need to analyze the errors that appeared, as in every electoral process, in every organizational process. However, their scale absolutely does not affect the election result. Even if some errors occurred, both in Poland and abroad, lessons must be learned from them, but they do not affect the election result, because the margin between candidates is too large – said Piotr Müller on Radio Trójka. 


08:54

Kowalski Responds to Emilewicz: Real Politics is Done on the Ground, Not on TVN. And Since I've Been in Politics 4 Times Longer Than You and Led Winning Campaigns in Opole in 2002/2014, I'd Be Happy to Tell You Over Coffee How to Win in Cities

Czaputowicz on PAD recording: The matter is being investigated by relevant services, including internal MFA procedures

The matter is being investigated by relevant services, including internal MFA procedures. Indeed, the minister-coordinator of services informed yesterday that a person working at our representation at the UN was providing information. Consequences will certainly be drawn against this person if this procedure confirms all these actions” - said Minister Jacek Czaputowicz on Jedynka radio.


09:17

Czaputowicz on PAD's Recording: These are Russian disinformation activities, possibly aimed at causing discord between Poland and Ukraine. The questions posed to President Duda indicate this.

"These are disinformation activities – that is how we assess it – by Russia, possibly aimed at causing discord between Poland and Ukraine. The questions posed to President Duda indicate this. I want to say that his answers were appropriate. They did not expose Poland to misunderstandings with any state, and from a foreign policy perspective, there are no objections" - Minister Jacek Czaputowicz said on Radio Jedynka.

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Tusk's Tweet: He's a bad president, but still the President of the Republic. Before we loudly guffaw about this situation across Europe, let's consider whose game we're playing. Isn't this exactly what the Russians wanted?

- Russian "pranksters," most likely linked to the services, are making fun of Andrzej Duda. He's a bad president, but still the President of the Republic. Before we loudly guffaw about this situation across Europe, let's consider whose game we're playing. Isn't this exactly what the Russians wanted? - wrote Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Twitter, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in Donald Tusk's government, and recently a close associate of Szymon Hołownia, referring to Donald Tusk's post from yesterday.

Müller on Government Changes: I Would Expect Some Adjustments After the Holidays, But I Don't Rule Out They Could Happen Sooner

- At the moment, we are analyzing the legislative work schedule and, under this schedule, towards the strategic goals we previously declared, we may adjust the government's structure and personnel in the future. However, no decisions have been made in this regard at the moment - said Piotr Müller in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- There are no decisions in this regard. Every minister must expect that they can be dismissed in any week of their tenure. However, at the moment, we have breathing room to focus on preparing the legislative work schedule. Ministers must always be ready, but I would expect some adjustments after the holidays, although I do not rule out that they could happen sooner - he added.

Marchewka:

PAD Promised a 14th Pension, Length-of-Service Pensions, and a Medical Fund. None of These Promises Are on the Horizon for Realization

„We must say it frankly. In the election campaign, PiS charmed Poles with successive promises. The campaign is over, and it turns out that many of these promises are simply election demagoguery. President Andrzej Duda won the election largely thanks to the support of pensioners. He promised a fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and even twenty-fourth pension. He promised length-of-service pensions, a Medical Fund, and it turns out that none of these promises are on the horizon for the current government to fulfill. We are essentially asking whether PiS politicians consciously deceived voters by making these promises without coverage, or if they deliberately concealed the state of the economy and public finances ” – said Arkadiusz Marchewka from Civic Coalition at a press conference in the Sejm.


14:20

Budka:

Elections were neither fair nor universal. They were dishonest, and we demand basic decency. The entire state apparatus was illegally engaged on one candidate's side

- You are not yet at the stage of throwing candidates into prison, as in so-called Eastern democracies, so they cannot run, but you have engaged the state apparatus to discredit candidates. When we talk about all these irregularities, we want to emphasize once again: the elections were neither fair nor universal. The elections were dishonest, and we demand basic decency, to show the public opinion how the entire state apparatus was illegally engaged on the side of one candidate, the incumbent president. You lied, you lie, and you will lie, and unfortunately, this is the motto of the current authorities - stated Borys Budka in the Sejm.


15:09

Wawrzyk on Overseas Elections: Over Half a Million Poles Involved. Commissions Worked Non-Stop for a Month. People Collapsed from Exhaustion. Some Required Resuscitation. I Am Proud We Managed to Conduct These Elections Efficiently

We were able to organize these elections in such a way that not only was the turnout several percentage points higher than when you organized them, but also a greater number of people participated in these elections [outside the country]” – said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Piotr Wawrzyk in the Sejm.

The elections, which took place in two rounds – June 28 and July 12, involved over half a million Poles. The commissions, along with those assisting the commissions in these elections, worked practically non-stop for a month. There were cases where people fainted from exhaustion, where we had to call doctors. There were individuals who had to be brought back to consciousness. That's unfortunately how it was. For me, it is a reason to be proud that we managed to conduct these elections so efficiently” – he added.

KO Politicians File Election Protest with the Supreme Court on Behalf of the Committee
We have just filed an election protest with the Supreme Court on behalf of the committee, along with Ms. MP [Nowacka]. We want the Supreme Court to examine all the allegations that have surfaced regarding the elections, both in the media and in the broader public sphere. Our protest includes allegations concerning violations of the Constitution, specifically the timing of the election announcement, a point repeatedly raised by prominent constitutionalists. We also have a significant allegation, in our opinion, regarding the activities of TVP and its support for only one candidate, while continuously discrediting candidate Rafał Trzaskowski. I believe we all witnessed this, but we want the Supreme Court to look into this matter. Our allegations also include, in our assessment, violations of proper procedure by government administration bodies and their support for only one of the candidates – Grzegorz Wójtowicz stated at a press briefing in front of the Supreme Court. We have attached over 2,000 individual notifications and irregularities to our protest, which I have received in recent days. More are still coming in; those verified have been submitted today. This amounts to thousands of irregularities – he continued.

Terlecki:

One Must Know How to Lose with Honor. The Civic Platform's Staff Challenged the Election Results. The Cheaters Cry That They Have Been Cheated. They Are Being Laughed At All Over Europe. Or Perhaps They Want to Swap Their Candidate Again? Budka N

The provided link points to a Twitter post by Ryszard Terlecki. Without access to the content of the Twitter post, a direct translation of the body text is not possible. However, based on the title, the sentiment expressed is critical of the Civic Platform (Platforma Obywatelska) for contesting election results. Terlecki suggests that they are acting dishonorably by not accepting defeat and implies that their actions are causing ridicule across Europe. The latter part of the title hints at speculation about internal political maneuvering within the Civic Platform, specifically mentioning the possibility of changing their candidate to Budka.


17:54

Karczewski:

It Would Be Good for the Senate to Return to the Right Path of Constructive Work

- It would be good for the Senate to return to the right path of constructive work. Work for Poles. It's impossible to work destructively, to obstruct, to put a spanner in the works, right – said Stanisław Karczewski in a conversation with Adrian Klarenbach on Polskie Radio 24.


17:58

Karczewski on Kaczyński's Resignation: 'Falsehood, Untrue, These Are Rumors'
'Falsehood, untrue, these are rumors, these are speculations. These are some fake news' – said Stanisław Karczewski on Polish Radio 24.

18:10

Kierwiński:

Elections Were Unfair. The Entire State, The Entire State Apparatus Was Involved in Creating a Praisesheet for the Incumbent President and Attacking All Opposition Candidates

We are most strongly stating that these elections were not fair, because the entire state, the entire state apparatus was involved in creating a praisesheet for the incumbent president and attacking all opposition candidates, ultimately Rafał Trzaskowski. We accept the election results in the sense that the State Electoral Commission published them, but anyone who has received information that improper things happened during the electoral process has the right to file a protest” – said the Secretary-General of Civic Platform, Marcin Kierwiński, in a conversation with Karolina Lewicka in „Wywiad polityczny” on TOK FM.


18:19

Kierwiński:

Trzaskowski Will Certainly Seek a Meeting if He Expresses Desire to Discuss Matters Important to Poles with PAD

If Rafał Trzaskowski says he would like to meet [with PAD] and discuss what is important to Poles, he will certainly strive for such a meeting. We are talking about this meeting as if it were some extraordinary initiative by President Duda” - stated Marcin Kierwiński, Secretary-General of Civic Platform (PO), on TOK FM.

Sienkiewicz on Election Protests: 'We Received Two Thousand Statements from People Across the Country Attesting to Abuses'

- We received two thousand statements from people across the country attesting to abuses. I won't even mention public television, which required exceptional audacity, such audacity from Jacek Kurski, to say that Rafał Trzaskowski was present in public television programs. He just didn't add that he was present in such a way that his Polishness was essentially denied, that every report about him was simply a hate-fest - said Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz in a conversation with Diana Rudnik on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".


19:51

Sienkiewicz on Trzaskowski's Friday Visit to Gdynia: He's Going with Gratitude for All Who Gave Him 10 Million Votes. All 4 Million Who Stood by Him Between the First and Second Round.

- He's going with gratitude. He's going with gratitude for all those people who gave him 10 million votes. All those people who, between the first and second round, numbering 4 million – a record for such great support in such a short time – decided to stand on his side – said Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz on TVN24.


19:56

Mastalerek:

I've Never Hidden My Belief That President Duda Serves Poland Well. If He Needs Me, I Will Always Be There for Him.

- I wasn't campaigning. I was in constant contact with the president, and here, at this table, sitting with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat, I said that I would always help the president. After all, I was asked a few months ago, right here, by Bogdan Rymanowski, what if help was needed in the campaign. I did not work in the campaign. I had no contract with the president's campaign team. Even with my neighbor, campaign manager Adam Bielan, the only thing we exchanged was a 'good day,' and I haven't seen him for probably several months now. However, I've never hidden the fact that I believe President Duda serves Poland well. If he needs me, I will always be there for him – stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".


19:57

Sienkiewicz:

No One is Talking About Changing Leaders. Budka is the Civic Platform Chairman, while Trzaskowski is the Candidate for People Who Haven't Always Aligned with the Platform.

- The elections are still three years away, so we shouldn't expect a great miracle here, because three years is a very long time. Over these three years, we must above all maintain contact with people who are not satisfied with the PiS government and President Andrzej Duda. We must give them encouragement, hope that this can be changed. And we must also change ourselves. I'm talking about the Civic Platform, about the Civic Coalition - said Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz on TVN24.

- No one is talking about changing leaders, because that would be absurd in this situation. Borys Budka is the Chairman of the Civic Platform, while Rafał Trzaskowski is the candidate for people who haven't always been on the same path as the Platform. He is the candidate for people who have sometimes not been involved in public life at all. It is obvious that he should be a guide, a form of assistance for these people, and also help them in what awaits us - he added.


20:00

Mastalerek:

I was convinced I was acting for Poland's good. I'm glad I could help. I don't overestimate my own role

- Of course, as the President himself said, I am not an active politician, I am not involved in that way. This was an activity on my part, both to help the President as a friend, but I was also convinced that I was acting for Poland's good. I am glad I could help. I don't overestimate my own role. After all, I work normally, I manage various matters. It was a difficult time for me. I'm glad my wife supported me. She was also for it, she immediately said that if you can help in any way, then help, she supported me in this - stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.


20:09

Mastalerek:

President Should Have Received Hundreds of Thousands, Even Up to a Million More Votes if 60+ Had Voted as Always; Real Support for the President in Poland is Higher

- I know one thing. No other candidate from this camp, the United Right camp, PiS, would have won these elections. They took place at the most difficult moment for the ruling camp, because it was a time when people were no longer afraid of the virus in such a way that they underestimated what the government, the ruling camp, had done, and yet it had gone far enough that perhaps they had forgotten certain merits. And this is what needs to be pointed out. It was the most difficult moment because the largest group of voters in Poland, namely voters aged 60+, who always have the highest turnout, precisely the highest turnout is in this group, this time had the lowest turnout. The president should have received from several hundred thousand to even a million more votes if people aged 60+ had turned out as they always did. Of course, between the first and second rounds it was managed, but despite this, the turnout was the lowest, so normally the support for the president, the real support in Poland, is higher – stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.


20:14

Mastalerek:

The Toughest Moment Was After the Elections Didn't Happen. Processes Unfolded Within the Ruling Camp. It Didn't Look Good. Fortunately, the President Came Up with an Idea He Convinced the Prime Minister Of, and the Prime Minister, as I Understa

- In my opinion, the most difficult moment was after the presidential elections did not take place. At that time, certain processes naturally unfolded within the ruling camp. It didn't look good. There were mutual accusations. Fortunately, at that time, the President came up with an idea that he convinced the Prime Minister of, and the Prime Minister, as I understand it, convinced the PiS Chairman, because without Jarosław Kaczyński, it certainly couldn't have happened, and they cut through it with a vote of confidence, and this was a moment when Rafał Trzaskowski had gathered 1.6 million signatures, he was entering, there was freshness - stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.


20:16

Mastalerek:

Regardless of the Final Outcome, Trzaskowski Saved Civic Platform

- Regardless of the final outcome, Rafał Trzaskowski has saved Civic Platform, because it could have gone differently for this party, and it seems to me that he is their strongest candidate today - stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Guest of Events" on Polsat News.

- However, it was of course immediately known that what Roman Giertych wrote on Twitter, after signing the LGBT card, that Rafał Trzaskowski was making the biggest political mistake of his life, was known even when he was nominated, that it would come true - he continued.


20:19

Mastalerek:

President Duda Shows Great Class, Extends a Hand Right on Election Night. It's a Historic Moment...

- First and foremost, the President is showing great class, extending a hand right on election night. This is a historic moment because no president, after being elected, has ever started by extending a hand and then followed up with a series of various gestures. This was the presidency of Andrzej Duda, and of course, campaigns are filled with great emotions, and a campaign is often different from a presidency. But it's very good that the President is showing class. On the other side, I see there are some squabbles and disagreements between the smaller parties and PO. One must also know how to lose – stated Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".


20:24

Mastalerek:

The Result Was Predictably Close, Mirroring the 2015 Presidential Race
- I think it was clear, at least since the parliamentary elections, that the result would be close, but let's be honest. It's the same difference as in 2015 between Bronisław Komorowski and President Duda, and I even heard some opposition-leaning media wanted to say it was a tie with a slight edge. I would like to tell those media outlets to tell Bronisław Komorowski that he tied the election in 2015 - stated Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

20:30

Mastalerek:

Was the Entire Warsaw Apparatus Working for Trzaskowski? Can the City of Warsaw Run a Voter Turnout Campaign, But the Government Cannot?

- I have a question for Borys Budka: was the entire apparatus of large self-governments, large cities, or the entire Warsaw apparatus working for Rafał Trzaskowski? Can the city of Warsaw run a voter turnout campaign, but the government cannot run such a campaign? - stated Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).


20:39

Mastalerek:

I haven't spoken with the President about the Chancellery at all. These are the President's affairs. It's always his choice.

- I haven't spoken with the President about the Chancellery at all. These are the President's affairs. It's always his choice. However, I don't like questions about my career, because I believe it has no significance for people - stated Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".
