- 'I received an invitation from President Duda for Thursday morning, and I will of course accept it. Especially since it is the day before the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising. I will also be meeting with the President at the Uprising Museum and I am counting on a constructive conversation,' stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing. The meeting will begin at 9:30 AM.

Following that, at the Warsaw Uprising Museum, PAD will participate in ceremonies related to the 76th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising. At 10:50 AM, he will lay wreaths at the plaque commemorating the late President Lech Kaczyński, and at 11:00 AM, he will meet with the heroes of the Warsaw Uprising.

In turn, at 2:00 PM at the Belvedere Palace, President Duda will attend the ceremony for the presentation of commemorative plaques for the 'Place of Memory of the Battle of Warsaw 1920'.

“The Istanbul Convention - I think Minister Sellin commented on this best in recent days - under an absolutely justified reason or driven by an absolutely justified conviction that violence should be condemned, it attempts to introduce a different ideology. Many people, including the political community, assess this very critically. Today, this afternoon, the Prime Minister will present the government's stance on this matter [the anti-violence convention]” - said Minister Michał Dworczyk on Radio Jedynka.

- Solidarna Polska is a staunch supporter of denouncing the Istanbul Convention, and I hope that in a few hours today, the Prime Minister will respond positively to these expectations of ours – said Michał Wójcik in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on Polish Radio 3's "Political Salon".

- Talks are underway. However, for us as Solidarna Polska, the key is the program we are to implement, meaning what we are putting on the table. For us, the most important thing is to serve Poland well and Poles well - said Michał Wójcik on Radio Trójka.

- It is a scandal bordering on insolence that an EU Commissioner for Equality joyfully announces that some municipalities did not receive funds because she believes it should be otherwise, that they should vote one way or the other. There will never be consent to this. This is an intrusion into our autonomy, our sovereignty. We have our constitution, our legal order, and this is an insolent violation of the law. The Commissioner dislikes that some municipalities decided to adopt a declaration in essence, a declaration that carries no consequences and imposes nothing on anyone. A declaration stating that they do not want LGBT ideology. The Commissioner dislikes this, wagged her finger, joyfully announced it on Facebook, and then froze these funds - said Michał Wójcik on Radio Trójka.

- Let us remember that this meeting [between President Duda and Rafał Trzaskowski], and I can solemnly assure you of this, is not a courtesy call. It is a substantive meeting. President Trzaskowski will be there as the President of the Capital City of Warsaw, but also as the head of the Council of Polish Metropolises, and he has specific matters to discuss with the President, matters concerning his activities, the fact that these elections were not fair, and he will demand several key issues from the President, but the President of Warsaw himself will speak about this - stated Cezary Tomczyk in Onet Rano.

– I count on a substantive conversation with President [Duda]. This is not a courtesy visit, but I hope to discuss very important issues, primarily the conduct of the elections, because we all know that these elections were not fair. Let's hope the President draws consequences from this, because President's colleagues from PiS are constantly talking about even worse solutions, about the fact that some PiS bureaucracy is to organize future elections for us. In this context, it is worth discussing how to make future elections as fair as possible and how they should take place in a different atmosphere than the one where the entire state apparatus was engaged on one side – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing in front of the Presidential Palace.

- The second issue is that we definitely need to talk about free media, because unfortunately PiS wants to attack free media, and it's worth discussing how the president will act in this matter. And finally, a matter of immense importance to me, as I am here also as the Mayor of Warsaw, namely the issue of local governments. Because we hear that PiS has ideas about returning to communism, i.e., 49 voivodeships. We hear about very unfavorable plans for the division of Mazovia, which make no substantive sense, and unfortunately, there's the issue of local government funding. This is also a bill that I will submit to the president to equalize the funding of local governments, which are currently on the front lines of the fight against coronavirus, and it's worth discussing this. I hope the president will be much more independent in this second term. This is a huge opportunity for the president, and I hope that all the bad PiS projects that will hit local governments will be vetoed by the president - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing in front of the Presidential Palace.

- We also discussed many substantive matters, and I want to say this: it was a calm conversation, a calm meeting where we also talked about Poland's future, about how we want Poland to continue to develop, and above all, about how we want this direct policy to be implemented on the political scene. I must say that I am very pleased with this meeting with Mr. Rafał Trzaskowski, and I am also very pleased that politicians from all sides of the political scene accepted my invitation for July 24, for the anniversary of the National Defence Government - said President Andrzej Duda after the meeting with Rafał Trzaskowski.

- 'I thank God once again, here in this place, that the Warsaw Uprising Insurgents are with us. They are absolutely the greatest heroes, not only of today, this latest, 76th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising, but absolute heroes of our times too. I want to emphasize this with all my might, of our times too. Because it wasn't just service in the underground, service and blood shed during the Warsaw Uprising, but then it was years of activity, serving Poland, very often also opposition activities, aimed at making Poland truly free, independent, and truly sovereign' - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting with Warsaw Uprising Insurgents.

- In public discourse, many people also raise serious objections to the Istanbul Convention, namely that it infringes upon our legal order, that it has an ideological basis, that it incorrectly defines the real sources of violence against women, and that it does not provide effective tools to combat domestic violence. These are very serious doubts that cannot be ignored. These doubts must be addressed appropriately. As a government, we partially share these concerns and have reason to believe that the document may be inconsistent with the Constitution regarding, among other things, the state's impartiality in matters of worldview and parents' right to raise children in accordance with their conscience. Therefore, I have decided to refer the Istanbul Convention to the Constitutional Tribunal for examination of its compliance with the Constitution. Matters of such great importance should be considered within a transparent, lawful procedure - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

- We have initiated cooperation beyond the borders of our country. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been given a clear task regarding cooperation with other states in developing appropriate provisions that will not be saturated with any ideological content or worldview doubts related to the moral revolution that some wish to impose on us, and at the same time, will serve as a common denominator for several, a dozen or so, or perhaps several dozen states concerning provisions protecting victims of domestic violence - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

- It is not out of the question that, like several European countries, we will have to reintroduce quarantine, a 12-day or two-week quarantine rule, for individuals arriving from certain states, citizens of those countries, or our own citizens returning from some countries. We are considering countries in Southern Europe, and we are particularly analyzing the case of Spain, because there are indeed many coronavirus cases there – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

- Fortunately, the situation today is different than a few months ago. We have learned to live with the coronavirus to some extent, we are less afraid of this epidemic, and this is the first thing that is important. On the one hand, it's good, but on the other hand, it does indeed pose certain risks. Today we have a lot of new infections. This is connected to the fact that Poles have recently stopped adhering to certain provisions that are still in force, which is why the Government Crisis Management Team will re-evaluate certain things - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM), adding that the existing restrictions must be observed.

- At the moment, we still do not have a set of new restrictions or new recommendations from the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS) and the Ministry of Health (MZ), nor a return to any previous ones. However, it is not excluded that if the situation truly worsens, it will be necessary to further limit the spread of the coronavirus - PMM continued.

“This week, in accordance with the recommendations of the Minister of Health, flights to two European countries were closed precisely because of high infection rates there. We are monitoring this situation on an ongoing basis. We are in contact with partners from other European countries. If the epidemiological situation requires it, and in the case of Spain, anyone can deduce from the data generally available on the internet that the number of infections there is growing, if it becomes evident that flights to Spain and being in Spain significantly increase the risk of infection, then we are certainly ready to introduce restrictions regarding flights and quarantine” - said Deputy Minister Janusz Cieszyński in an interview with Piotr Kraśko in „Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24. 

- The ruling party has an independent majority; it doesn't need any coalition partners. Moreover, the mentality of PiS, and particularly its leadership, tends to eliminate any right-wing competition rather than celebrate that someone shares similar views - Krzysztof Bosak stated on Polsat News. 

- We can say today that thanks to the efficient cooperation between the President and the government administration from the very beginning of the pandemic, we have managed to reach a situation where we have not had, and I hope we will not have, scenes like those we knew from television and media reports concerning Italy, France, Spain, as well as other countries where there was a shortage of hospital beds, where there was no access to ventilators, where there were alarming situations of a sudden surge in infections. The fact that Poland pursued a policy that led to limitations, or as experts say, we bought time in the fight against the coronavirus, also shows that this cooperation between the President, the Presidential Administration, and the National Security Bureau with the government yields good results. However, of course, you are right when you say that we must continue to take the challenges related to the coronavirus seriously, because we should not succumb to the belief that the pandemic is over - stated Paweł Mucha on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
