- We are offering the city [Warsaw] the possibility of assistance by carrying out tasks that the city is unable to perform on its own. Such a task includes, among others, the construction of a pontoon bridge by the military. However, we emphasize that in this year's situation, the city should bear the costs of all these operations, as this is a form of recidivism. Therefore, we are providing all necessary assistance, including the construction of a pontoon bridge, handing over technical documentation, or essential tools such as pipes used last year. However, some of these actions will have to be carried out by the capital's administration - stated Piotr Müller in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

- The fight continues. Every day, every subsequent election will also bring new resolutions. Already being a candidate for such a long period of time is a great honour. Being a presidential candidate in such a large country as Poland, so it is already a great experience. Everyone probably needs to take a bit of a beating for their skin to become tougher. Joe Biden probably would never have run for president, he certainly wouldn't be running for president today if it weren't for previous experiences of a weak result as well - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- The voters have decided. They entrusted the government to PiS, and we do not negate this possibility of governing. We are not on the same path as PiS. We did not make such a decision in the regional assemblies, nor in the government. There will be no such coalition, because it is unnecessary - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on Polsat News.

- There are no, consultations on coronavirus have ceased, because there were consultations a week ago, but there are no talks whatsoever regarding the pandemic, there is no cooperation at the parliamentary, governmental, or presidential level. The President is not a president open to the voices of other circles - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Polsat News.

- First and foremost, the president is constantly monitoring the situation regarding preparations, especially for September, for school education, and the approaching flu season, which, as we know, will also lead to a larger number of people exhibiting symptoms similar to coronavirus. Therefore, as I understand the president's intentions, he wants to meet to receive information in this regard, so that the Council of Ministers also presents the president with the current state of preparations by individual units, and generally, that the Council of Ministers informs about economic matters, among other things - stated Piotr Müller in PR1's "Sygnały dnia".

„Yesterday, we presented a very precise proposal to the city authorities, President Trzaskowski. A pontoon bridge will be built, in line with the expectations of Warsaw's authorities. Full project and engineering documentation for this construction, which was built in 2019, will be provided. Additionally, all the elements necessary to build the alternative pipeline – the pipes, pumps, and all the accessories – will be resold or rented. I'm talking about reselling or renting because some of this equipment, like the very efficient pumps that are essential for such installations, are owned by the Wody Polskie enterprise,” said Minister Michał Dworczyk, Head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery, in an interview with Maciej Głogowski on Radio TOK FM's Poranek.

„[The city will pay for] the costs that will need to be incurred for the construction of the pontoon bridge, the costs of the pipes, and the engineering documentation, for which Wody Polskie had to pay,” he added.

"We are in the consultation phase with individual ministries. We do not want to proceed on the basis of - we set a 10% limit and 10% of positions are to be eliminated in one administrative unit or another. We want to conduct a substantive review together, with experts, with civil servants, to identify where there is room for optimization, where operational efficiency can be increased. Decisions will be made after this review" - said Minister Michał Dworczyk in TOK FM.

“I think that today we are primarily working towards not having to introduce such significant restrictions as we did in March and April, meaning we don't have to announce a national quarantine. We will concentrate primarily on ensuring compliance with the norms and guidelines we have introduced, and compliance with which has been rather inconsistent,” stated Jadwiga Emilewicz in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus. “To speak with 100% certainty about anything three or four months ahead is simply irresponsible. We are truly living in unpredictable times of immense uncertainty, so I express myself with great caution regarding the future. However, today we are doing everything and working in a direction to avoid freezing the economy. I believe this is not an exclusively Polish stance. Virtually all countries in the world, while being very cautious and trying to ensure citizens' health security, simultaneously do not want to freeze economic turnover today, because alongside health security, economic security is no less important,” the Deputy Prime Minister continued.

A teleconference regarding the situation in Belarus took place, attended by the Prime Minister and Polish Members of the European Parliament, irrespective of their political affiliations. The discussion likely focused on the ongoing political crisis in Belarus and Poland's role and response.

- We certainly wouldn't be forgiven for a split on the right. It would be particularly incomprehensible after a victorious presidential election, and especially if such a split were to occur in the face of the crisis situation we are facing worldwide, not just in Poland due to the coronavirus - said Adam Bielan in an interview with Agnieszka Burzyńska on “Onet Opinie”.

- What is important is the personal declaration of President Gowin, who, as we know, made the decision to leave the government himself in March or April, and must now decide whether he wants to sit in the next government - said Adam Bielan in "Onet Opinie".

- Zjednoczona Prawica has an independent majority. For the second time in history, any political camp has an independent majority. This majority is stable, carrying 235 votes. Experience teaches that it usually grows over time, not shrinks, so we are not desperate to look for more parties that would join our coalition - said Adam Bielan in 'Onet Opinie'.

- Do you know that our President Andrzej Duda's uncle was employed in a state-owned company, and that the wife of Mr. Andruszkiewicz, a minister, also found employment? What happened to these promises? You said there would be no nepotism. You accused Civic Platform and the PSL of great nepotism before, and what's happening now, I really haven't seen such a scale before - asked Agnieszka Burzyńska.

- Every case of nepotism should be condemned. I did not make these decisions; you need to ask the people who are responsible for this type of nominations. You need to ask the appointed individuals about their qualifications in this matter - said Adam Bielan in "Onet Opinie".

- In which direction these projects [concerning media] will go, I do not wish to get ahead of myself at this moment and speak publicly about matters that are not finally settled. As I said, in these negotiations at the United Right summit, among the leaders of the United Right, they will concern not only personal matters, which you asked about, but also programmatic issues and a legislative plan for at least the next 12 months - said Adam Bielan in "Onet Opinie".

“Talks are gaining momentum. It’s hard to imagine these talks without President Kaczyński, who is not only the leader of PiS but the leader of the entire United Right. I can assure you that the United Right will not quarrel. This is consistently echoed in the statements of the United Right leaders. We will not quarrel over posts, over influence in the government,” said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin in an interview with wPolsce.pl.

“This discussion can be heated and likely will be, because visions must clash. Perhaps not a quarrel, but a manly, tough discussion. The outcome will certainly not be the coalition partners falling out or parting ways. There is no alternative to the rule of United Right” - said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin on wPolsce.pl.

“No talks about coalition partners, about additional reinforcements for this coalition [ZP] change the fact [that the United Right governs in this term]. Even if we manage to gain some support from the benches of today's opposition, which would be good, it's always better for the governing front to be wider. As far as I know, no institutional talks are being conducted at the moment. We are open to any MP, any group of MPs, who would like to join the United Right. We are ready to talk. Signals of desire for such talks are appearing, so perhaps such reinforcement could occur, but in no case to eliminate from the current circle of the United Right” - said Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin on wPolsce.pl.

- There has been a notification from the City Hall. In my opinion, it is more of a smoke screen than a genuine report on the possibility of a crime being committed, but that's what the prosecutor's office is for, to assess it - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' on Polsat News.

- Let's remember that this is a kind of recidivism. Last year we dealt with the same situation. The city is responsible, Warsaw's local government is responsible for water and sewage matters, and the city bears the costs, including the costs of alternative transmission in this case - said Piotr Müller on Polsat News.

- At this moment, there will be some modification regarding the number of ministries and the scope of government administration departments they are subordinate to. Consequently, it is natural that since Law and Justice, the largest party in the United Right, will have fewer ministries, our coalition partners should proportionally have fewer ministries as well. This is the proposal currently on the table from PiS - said Piotr Müller in Polsat News.

- There is indeed such a proposal, that it would be one ministry each, however, PiS will also lose several ministries as a result - he added.

-- 3 STATEMENTS BY THE HEAD OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S WING OF PiS, MICHAŁ MOSKAL, FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH PAP WORTH NOTICING AHEAD OF COALITION TALKS: -- As conservatives, we cannot be blind to the fact that the world is changing, and with it, the media. That is precisely where we should be present, promoting our ideas even on arenas managed by ideological opponents. (...) Because the way it is presented is simply attractive and adequately tailored to the expectations of young people. And this is how the right should act. It should create a culture that is attractive to audiences while simultaneously carrying good values. We will not convince young people of our conservative vision of the world solely by stating that our values are better. -- We have already taken the first step in this direction during the June convention in Lublin by coming out with an initiative for a law eliminating the gender pay gap. Now, the Forum Młodych PiS is moving to a programmatic offensive – we are preparing further proposals in areas such as environmental protection or animal welfare. Above all, however, as the entire right, we need a long-term strategy based on education, culture, building scientific elites, and making our ideas and worldview more attractive. -- No one in Zjednoczona Prawica (United Right) is formulating demands that would involve compromises in the sphere of values. Importantly, there is also no social consent for this, as shown by the results of the last seven elections held in Poland. That is why competition with the left on the grounds of culture is so important, so that these trends do not change. https://www.pap.pl/aktualnosci/news%2C708311%2Cmoskal-pis-konserwatywna-formacja-swiadczy-o-tym-co-zrobilismy-dla-polski-i -- 300POLITYKI LIVEBLOG: MUELLER ON THE FACT THAT IF PiS HAS FEWER MINISTRIES, THEN COALITION PARTNERS MAY AS WELL SASIN ON THE MAJORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT POSSIBLY BEING STRENGTHENED BIELAN ON THE FACT THAT PiS IS NOT DESPERATE https://300polityka.pl/live/2020/09/02/ ***** POLSAT EVENTS No political materials. ***** TVN FAKTY -- THE OPPOSITION WANTS THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONER FOR POLISH AFFAIRS TO RESIGN; CONTROVERSIES SURROUNDING PAWLAK'S VIEWS, BUT STATEMENTS ABOUT PHARMACOLOGICAL MEANS CHANGING SEX PREVAILED – in preview. -- THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONER FOR POLISH AFFAIRS SEES THREATS NOT IN DRUGS AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BUT IN SEXUAL EDUCATION – Renata Kijowska. -- A STATE OFFICIAL CLAIMS THAT IN POZNAŃ, EDUCATORS ARE DISTRIBUTING PILLS FOR SEX CHANGE – Kijowska. -- IF THIS CONTINUES, KACZYŃSKI WILL STAND WITH THE EPISCOPATE AND SAY THE EARTH IS FLAT – Jacek Jaśkowiak. -- IF HE HAS INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER, HE SHOULD CLARIFY WHAT HE SAID IN A STATEMENT AND SUBMIT EVIDENCE – Senator J.M.
