- The fundamental matter, the challenge we faced, was outlined by Saint John Paul II at Westerplatte in 1987, when he spoke of duties, of obligations from which one cannot desert. We see such an obligation towards the soldiers who fell in September 1939 here at Westerplatte. We have restored dignity to this place. It had been neglected for years - said Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Piotr Goćek on "Sygnały dnia" on Polish Radio's Jedynka.
07:37
Błaszczak:
The Polish Army is Ready to Build a Bridge. Trzaskowski is a Man Who Clearly Prioritized His Election Campaign Over His Duties as Mayor
- The Polish Army is ready to build such a bridge. We are dealing with an irresponsible authority in the city of Warsaw. President Trzaskowski is a man who, as is evident, prioritized matters related to his election campaign over his duties as mayor, and therefore over ensuring the city functions properly. Of course, we are dealing with an ecological catastrophe, because the discharge of sewage into the Vistula is indeed a catastrophe, especially for residents north of Warsaw's borders – said Mariusz Błaszczak on Jedynka radio.

Piontkowski:
No One Can Guarantee How the Epidemic Will Develop
- No one can guarantee how the epidemic will develop. I would like to recall that there were many wonderful models that showed what would happen with the epidemic in a month, two, or half a year. We have at least several different viewpoints on this matter. On one hand, a viewpoint that says there is no pandemic at all and it's a fabricated, media spectacle, and on the other hand, the terror of some specialists or commentators who say it's a terrible disease. We are trying to find a golden mean - stated Dariusz Piontkowski in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
08:34
- No, because the yellow zone in a given district alone doesn't mean there's a real epidemic threat yet. It could be, for example, a local infection center, like in a social welfare home, where a few or a dozen or so infected people are ill, and as a result, it is closed, the disease doesn't spread around, and there's no reason for other workplaces or schools to be closed - stated Dariusz Piontkowski on Polsat News' "Graffiti," when asked if an automatic mechanism is being considered, where if a yellow or red zone appears, the school would switch to a remote or hybrid model.

"This is certainly a problem for Rafał Trzaskowski, although not his fault. What happened, the first failure a year ago, when it was determined to be a technical defect in the pipe, today one can expect that it is probably the same. It is not a comfortable situation. Today, Rafał Trzaskowski must focus on resolving this failure," said Sławomir Neumann from Civic Coalition in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.
09:07
Neumann:
I didn't join New Solidarity because the movement is for people who don't want to be party members
„I didn't join New Solidarity because – as I understood and still understand Rafał Trzaskowski's movement – it [the movement] is aimed at people who don't want to be party members, but who want to be active in the public sphere. They have enthusiasm and energy. It's meant to be a formula that will integrate people who joined Trzaskowski's election campaign, who wanted to channel their energy and activity to Rafał Trzaskowski” – Sławomir Neumann from the Civic Coalition said on RMF FM.

“Elections in the parliamentary club await us. For now, there are no candidates yet. Tomasz Siemoniak is a very good candidate who will unite all factions and bring calm and stability. I don’t know if he will want to run, but I think he would have a serious chance to replace Borys Budka in the club and create a good tandem, a synergy between the club and the party” – said Sławomir Neumann from Civic Coalition in an interview with RMF FM.

PMM:
We've Experienced the 6 Most Unusual Months in School Life. There Was No Manual for Handling This Situation, But Through the Joint Effort of Teachers, Students, and Parents, We Succeeded.
„We have experienced the 6 most unusual, very strange, and unexpected months for anyone in the lives of schools across Poland. If someone had told you a year ago that you would be learning remotely for the last few months of the semester before the holidays, probably no one would have believed it. There was no manual on how to deal with this situation, but through the joint effort of teachers, students, and parents, [we succeeded]” - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the inauguration of the school year in Dalików.

Sawicki:
Hołownia is at the same stage as Petru and Nowoczesna were in 2016. They think they have 30% support and are the opposition leaders. It will all become more realistic. If Hołownia is interested in cooperation, we are open.
„We know perfectly well at what stage Szymon Hołownia is functioning, more or less at the same stage as Nowoczesna and Ryszard Petru in 2016. They think they already have 30% support and are the leaders of the opposition. Let's wait for it all to become more realistic, and the latest polls show a level of 10 +/- 2. It will all become more realistic, and if Szymon Hołownia is interested in talks and cooperation, we are open. Ideologically, programmatically, this is not a move against Koalicja Polska, but rather one with similar values” - Marek Sawicki from PSL said in an interview with Łukasz Jankowski on Radio Wnet.
10:27
Sawicki:
No Signals of Cooperation from PiS, Prime Minister, or Kaczyński Towards PSL Regarding Coalition Formation
"Neither from PiS, nor from the Prime Minister, nor from President Kaczyński are there any signals towards the PSL indicating a desire for cooperation or agreement in forming a coalition. We do not hide the fact that there were isolated gestures towards members of the Polish Coalition, and such gestures did occur, but they were based on political poaching rather than political cooperation," Marek Sawicki from the PSL stated on Radio Wnet.

- We invited Paweł Kukiz to co-create Konfederacja, to join our electoral lists. That was last year. I myself participated in conversations with Paweł Kukiz and Stanisław Tyszka. There was no interest then. He chose the PSL. If there were interest, we should talk. We have our legislative projects, Paweł Kukiz has his. Simple mathematics is enough to see that a group of MPs from Konfederacja and a group of MPs from Kukiz'15 could together... Not necessarily a parliamentary club. Up until this point, for the last year, there was no interest in signing our legislative projects. If that has changed, it's a good sign. We should rejoice in this signal, and perhaps there will be an opportunity for cooperation. We'll see. Anyone who supports the programmatic principles that Konfederacja presents, i.e., common sense in economic matters, national interests in international forums, state sovereignty, traditional values, civil liberties, economic freedom – this is our package of things we want to defend. If Paweł Kukiz, his close collaborators like Stanisław Tyszka, whom I have known well for many years and know we share certain views, would like to support this, why not, very willingly - stated Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

Bosak:
I focused on building nationwide political movements. It's a continuous journey, constant cooperation with people. It cannot be combined with managing a large administrative unit.
- Either one is the president of the largest city in Poland, facing the most complex problems and the most complex internal system, or one focuses on building a nationwide political movement. I focused on building nationwide political movements. It's a continuous journey, constant cooperation with people. It cannot be combined with managing a large administrative unit - stated Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

Piontkowski:
I Know the Vast Majority of Students, Teachers, and Parents Wanted a Return to Traditional, In-Person Classes, and Finally, This Could Be Organized
- I know that the vast majority of students, teachers, and parents wanted a return to traditional, in-person classes, and finally, this could be organized. These guidelines, recommendations, which we prepared almost a month ago, allow for a safe return to in-person learning - said Dariusz Piontkowski during a briefing in Łapy.
- To all those who are starting the school year in new schools, I wish that these schools will be their dream schools, which they will remember very well. May they get along well with their colleagues there, may they have good contact with their teachers. May the new school year 2020/2021 be prosperous - added the minister.

The best Polish athletes have appeared in a spot expressing solidarity with the athletes and society of Belarus under the #JesteśmyZWami (#WeAreWithYou) hashtag. This is a response to an open letter from over 360 athletes from Belarus, including world and Olympic champions, who wrote, among other things, "we categorically condemn the numerous instances of falsifying the presidential election results in the Republic of Belarus, as well as manifestations of gross violence by security forces against peacefully protesting citizens".
The spot featured Agnieszka Radwańska, Otylia Jędrzejczak, Kamil Glik, Artur Boruc, Bartosz Kapustka, Bartosz Zmarzlik, Maja Włoszczowska, Andrzej Bargiel, Justyna Święty-Ersetic, Monika Pyrek, Izuagbe Ugonoh, Szymon Kołecki, Łukasz Koszarek, Andrzej Wrona and the Verva Warszawa ORLEN Team volleyball team, Piotr Małachowski, Jakub Przygoński, Małgorzata Glinka-Mogentale, Artur Siódmiak, Bartłomiej Marszałek, Iga Baumgart-Witan, Małgorzata Hołub-Kowalik, Agnieszka Kobus-Zawojska, Marta Lach, and Ewa Trzebińska.
The Ministry of Sport has taken patronage over the initiative.

- We can say one thing: the management of the city is fatal. Primarily in the area of water and sewage management. This situation, which Mr. Daca, the CEO, spoke about, where we simply led it. Everyone repeated, for a year they repeated, if the system remains the same, it will fall apart. Well, you didn't need a great prophet. A year later, this system simply fell apart. Today we have the surprise of the city, which is probably a bit of a fabrication, because the mayor knew exactly what it would lead to - said Marek Gróbarczyk during a press conference.
13:38
- Documentation and pipes, elements used in the construction of the alternative pipeline in 2019, will be handed over - said Michał Dworczyk during a briefing before the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).
- Experts and engineers who planned and supervised the construction of the pipeline in 2019 will be at the city's disposal. However, it should be emphasized that the costs associated with erecting the pontoon bridge, as well as the cost of pipes, documentation, and the subsequent maintenance of this installation, are costs that the city will have to cover - he continued.
13:43
Dworczyk:
I invited Trzaskowski this afternoon. The meeting will most likely take place at 4 PM
- I invited Mr. President Trzaskowski this afternoon to provide him with detailed information, to establish the specifics, and relevant services will then enter into a working contact or expand this contact with the city's representatives in order to implement this project [bridge construction] - Michał Dworczyk said during a briefing in front of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
- We are in working contact, and such a meeting will most likely take place at 4 PM at the Prime Minister's Chancellery - he added.

PM:
Teachers are the most important in the educational process, and no one and nothing can replace them
- Well, when you start, enter this school year, I think it will become clear very quickly that the first semester is already behind you, and then there will be holidays. But for now, I wish you that these friendships you have here, that you are building amongst yourselves, that they are more important to you than Facebook, even though various kinds of friendships are sometimes made through Facebook, and in turn, that teachers are more important than Google, because they are much more important, they are the most important in the educational process, and no one and nothing can replace them - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the inauguration of the school year at Primary School No. 1 in Żyrardów.

As 300POLITYKA has learned, President Andrzej Duda has convened a meeting of the Government Council for Friday at 11:00 AM to discuss the situation related to the coronavirus epidemic, including methods for combating the pandemic's effects and minimizing the negative impact of measures on the economy and citizens' lives.
17:06
- The decisions are that I approached the Prime Minister through Minister Dworczyk for assistance regarding this pontoon bridge, and the decisions are that this pontoon bridge will be built by the army, while the rest of the process, concerning the organization of the entire operation to transport these pipes, is to be our responsibility. The ruling party stated that they will naturally help us with expertise, with thoroughly reviewing with us the experiences they had a year ago, but this time they are asking us for oversight and execution of everything except for the bridge itself, which will be built by the army. They also requested that we bear the costs associated with this pontoon bridge, although Minister Dworczyk did declare all possible assistance beyond that - stated Rafał Trzaskowski after the meeting at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
17:23
Trzaskowski:
We are cleaning up after years of unfortunately poor preparation of this project

On the orders of the prosecutor's office, the police entered MPWiK and the Warsaw City Hall, securing documents. We declare full readiness to cooperate.

- This is not a formal extension [of my term], but rather I am fulfilling my duties until a successor is elected. In my own way, I am participating in public life. That's how I might put it. Before I was the Ombudsman, I worked for a non-governmental organization, the Helsinki Foundation, and I also dealt with human rights - stated Adam Bodnar in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń," when asked if, with his term as Ombudsman coming to an end, he intends to enter politics, become a politician, or wishes to participate in political life.
When pressed further if he is considering politics, he replied: - I'm not ruling it out, but for now I'll focus on academia for the next few years. I'm a university professor at SWPS and that's what I'll be doing in the near future.
20:03
Dworczyk:
We warned Trzaskowski about the disaster as early as April. For over a year, Wody Polskie have been requesting a report on the construction of the emergency pipeline. Letters remain unanswered, and MPWiK has not approached Wody Polskie for 12 mon

20:08
Bodnar:
From a Constitutional Perspective, Mask Regulations Are Flawed
- It depends on how you look at it, because from a constitutional point of view, these regulations are indeed flawed, and from a social, everyday perspective… In this case, because we are talking about the specific case of masks, I signaled a proper intervention to the Prime Minister in May, but the regulations were not changed - stated Adam Bodnar on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
20:10
„For now, there's no talk about when such elections [for the club leader] would take place. Borys Budka is the current club leader. At the same time, he is the party leader. He announced a few months ago that he would want to separate these functions. I will not pressure Chairman Budka on this matter. He is simultaneously the party leader. These things simply need to be discussed and a suitable date considered” – said Tomasz Siemoniak, Vice-Chairman of Civic Platform (PO), in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on RMF FM.
20:10
Siemoniak:
If it's in agreement with Budka, if it's the will of the majority of the caucus, and a mission that unites rather than creates conflict, then I want to run. I don't want to run as a hostage of any side.
20:22
Piontkowski:
If we've returned to life in many aspects of public and social life, there's no real justification to particularly fear schools or kindergartens.
- We are repeating this. If we have returned to life in many other aspects of public and social life, when we go shopping, to cultural and sporting events, when we meet socially, when we are not afraid to go out onto the streets, then there is no real justification to particularly fear schools or kindergartens - said Dariusz Piontkowski in an interview with Danuta Holecka on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości" program.
20:25
Piontkowski:
The "Total Opposition," Including the ZNP, Will Criticize Everything We Do. They Simply Dislike This Government.
- The "total opposition," including the ZNP (Polish Teachers' Union), will criticize everything we do. They simply dislike this government. They believe every decision is wrong. If we were to say, for example, that we are moving to remote learning, then of course there would be criticism as to why we haven't returned to in-person teaching. When we make such a decision, the criticism comes from the other direction - said Dariusz Piontkowski on TVP Info.
