Stachowiak-Różecka:
It's not about the label, but the program; perhaps one day Platforma politicians will understand. Mr. Trzaskowski didn't have a program for Poland
- It's not about the label, but the program; perhaps one day Platforma politicians will understand. Mr. Trzaskowski didn't have a program for Poland, some outlines appeared towards the end of the first round, it's a complete joke - said Mirosława Stachowiak-Różecka in Woronicza 17.

With My Local Government Experience, This Is the First I've Heard of a Pumping Pipe Bursting After 7 Years, and Then Again After One Year. This is Strange
"With my local government experience, this is the first I've heard of a pumping pipe bursting after 7 years, and then again after one year. This is strange. Terrorism is too strong a word, but it could be sabotage, specialists should look into this," said Jarosław Urbaniak on Woronicza 17.

Stachowiak-Różecka:
Opposition Politicians Decided to Embody Margot
- Opposition politicians have decided to embody Margot, or the gentleman who, not entirely clothed on a balcony during the anniversary celebrations of the Uprising's outbreak, decided to demonstrate his demands, to put it that way - Mirosława Stachowiak-Różecka said in Woronicza 17.

No One Has Harmed the Fight for Minority Rights as Much as Margot Has Recently. But Margot is a Private Individual, and the RPD is a Public Official Spouting Nonsense
- No one has harmed the fight for minority rights as much as Margot has recently. The rights of all minorities are important, not a specific Margot. And it all started with that unfortunate van, where representatives of the LGBT minority live. This is scandalous - said Jarosław Urbaniak in Woronicza 17.
- Margot is a private individual, and the RPD is a public official, a functionary who spouts nonsense. The RPD is making a mockery of this institution; PiS chose someone who tells such terrible fairy tales. It is precisely by not telling fairy tales that the Children's Ombudsman should differentiate themselves from children - Urbaniak stated.

We Talk Too Little About the Role of Women, About Anna Walentynowicz, Henryka Krzywonos, and Also Danuta Wałęsa

Lech Wałęsa's Role Was Outstanding, But His Entire Life is Cast in Shadow by his Cooperation with the Secret Services of that Regime
"- Millions of Poles demonstrated their desire for freedom and showed that we can act without violence. Lech Wałęsa's role was outstanding, but his entire life is cast in shadow by his cooperation with the secret services of that regime," said Andrzej Zybertowicz on Woronicza 17.

German Politicians Couldn't Have Suddenly Realized What Kind of Russia They Were Dealing With. There Must Be Other Reasons for Signals of a Policy Shift on Nord Stream Following the Navalny Assassination Attempt
"It seems we are witnessing the beginning of a breakthrough, but its sources are unclear. German politicians couldn't have suddenly realized what kind of Russia they were dealing with. There must be other reasons why, in the wake of the Navalny assassination attempt, signals are emerging that there might be a policy change regarding Nord Stream," said Andrzej Zybertowicz on Woronicza 17.

I'm glad an SPD politician is raising doubts about Nord Stream, as German Social Democrats, like former Chancellor Schroeder, were involved in cooperation projects with Russia.

Mr. Bodnar comes to the Sejm and no one wants to listen to him, then Mr. Pawlak comes and the other half of the room doesn't want to listen to him either, because they are political activists
- Mr. Bodnar comes to the Sejm and no one wants to listen to him, and then Mr. Pawlak comes and the other half of the room also doesn't want to listen to him, because they are political activists. In general, one should consider whether it makes sense to maintain these offices in their current form - said Artur Dziambor from Konfederacja on the Politicians' Bench.

Kamiński:
Ombudsman Adam Bodnar could say that social justice increased due to this government's policies, contradicting the opposition's political interests.
"The Ombudsman, Adam Bodnar, could, for instance, state that social justice in Poland increased thanks to this government's policies, and this was contrary to the political interests of the opposition. And I cannot imagine the Children's Ombudsman behaving in a similar manner, independent of the political context," Michał Kamiński said on the Political Bench.

Horała:
Salaries are still two and a half times lower than in the company overseeing Czajka, and I haven't heard of any resignations or accountability there. Only President Trzaskowski puts on a safety helmet for press conferences, for no apparent reason.
- There are two differences. Firstly, if irregularities actually occur, they are corrected. Some individuals are dismissed, or they resign. And this is the first difference between PiS and Civic Platform. And the second is that these salaries are still two and a half times lower than in the company that oversees Czajka, where hectoliters of sewage are being dumped into the Vistula, and I haven't heard of any resignations or accountability there. There, only President Trzaskowski puts on a safety helmet for press conferences, for no apparent reason - said Marcin Horała in the Politicians' Bench.

Dera:
Unlike PO Governments, a Law Was Introduced Stipulating Significantly Lower Salaries in State Treasury Companies – These Are Facts. Horała: For Example, in the Energa Group, There Are One-Third Fewer Board Positions Than Under the PO Government.
"First of all, unlike the Platforma governments, a law was introduced stipulating that salaries in State Treasury companies are much lower, and these are facts. No one will deny that salaries are significantly lower than during the Platforma era. The regulations have limited this considerably," said presidential minister Andrzej Dera in the Politicians' Bench.
"For example, in the Energa Group, there are one-third fewer board positions than under the PO government," added Marcin Horała.

We Are Simply Libertarians, and Most of These Sectors Shouldn't Be Managed by the State. I Am Most Pleased by the Announcement of This Merged Ministry of Culture, Sport, Education, Science, and Higher Education.
- Confederation represents the milieu that has always said there should be as few ministries as possible, a maximum of seven or eight, and we would calmly depart from most of what exists. We are simply libertarians, and most of these sectors shouldn't be managed by the state. These announcements are pleasing because there will be less of it than there is now anyway. I am most pleased by the announcement of this merged ministry of culture, sport, education, science, and higher education. This is a ministry of liquidation, and that should be its name, because it should fall outside of state control - said Artur Dziambor in the Politicians' Bench.

Kamiński:
A Faction in PiS Believes Social Resistance to Radicalism Means a More Centrist Approach; Kaczyński Favors Balance
- An important element of reconstruction is the choice made after an election cycle. The ruling camp has two concepts: one is the one fairly clearly outlined by Zbigniew Ziobro - we received a mandate to be even more, even more radically, and more ideologically driven. If we want to push through everything, from abortion bans to other measures, it has to be now, after the elections. And as I understand it, there is a segment of people within PiS who say: we barely won anyway, there is social resistance to radicalism, so perhaps we should move more towards the center. And now the real question for the public is which option will prevail. I lean towards the belief that Jarosław Kaczyński doesn't like anyone winning 100% and that there will be some balance - said Michał Kamiński in the Politicians' Bench.

President Duda: The People of Rural Poland Saved the Republic. I Want Modern Amenities for Rural Poland; Communication, Broadband Internet, All Goods Once a Privilege of Big Cities, to Be Available There.
- The people of rural Poland saved the Republic. Not for the first time, nor the only time in our history, it was they who stood in defense of Poland, so that Poland would remain on the map, to defend Polishness, to defend faith. It was they who then fought in 1939. It was they who created the Home Army, the Peasant Battalions. It was they who fought as the Cursed Soldiers. It was they, finally, who in the 1980s created the Independent Farmers' "Solidarity." I want to assure you that as President of the Republic of Poland, elected for another term, also with your votes, for which I wholeheartedly want to thank you again, I will do everything to ensure that you can not only work peacefully, provide us with food security, but above all, I will do everything to ensure that rural areas develop as best as possible - said President Andrzej Duda during the Jasna Góra Harvest Festival.
The President spoke about his commitments to rural areas: - First and foremost, I assure you that I will do everything to ensure that rural Poland develops as best as possible, that modern amenities are also provided for rural Poland; communication, broadband internet, all kinds of goods that were recently a privilege of big cities, to be available there, so that what we call equal development of the country becomes a reality, so that there is good education in rural areas, so that there is access to cultural goods in rural areas, so that there is also access to sport and recreation in rural areas.
- I am here not only to thank you for the year, for the harvest. I am also here to thank you, on behalf of the entire Polish society, you – the farmers. For your hardship, your work in the fields. It is a matter particularly enshrined in the constitution to stand guard over the security of the state. Food security is one of the important elements of our country's security - said the President.
- Everyone remembers how empty shop shelves were shown on television because people were afraid whether there would be enough supplies. Those shop shelves, which were empty for a moment, were quickly filled with food products within a few days. There was no shortage of food - the President said.

Political Week Ahead: United Right Coalition Talks, Tsikhanouskaya's Visit, Duda at Three Seas Stock Exchange Conference, Senate Session, Bodnar's Term Ends, Moody's Rating Update
The upcoming week in politics will primarily feature ongoing talks between the leaders of the United Right regarding government reconstruction and the coalition agreement, as well as a visit to Poland by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, a Senate session, and an update on Poland's rating by Moody's.
*****
Coalition Talks within the United Right. On Monday, further discussions will take place between the leaders of PiS, Porozumienie, and Solidarna Polska concerning government reconstruction and a new coalition agreement. "Conversations are ongoing, and in a few days, all indications suggest, they will be finalized, and we will strive to safely navigate this ship called Poland," stated Joachim Brudziński on Polsat News.
PAD at the Three Seas Stock Exchange Conference. On Monday in Krakow, President Andrzej Duda will participate in the Three Seas Stock Exchange Conference. At 11:00 AM, he is scheduled to join a panel titled "Challenges of the Three Seas Capital Markets and the Importance of Regional Cooperation," followed by a statement from PAD at 12:40 PM.
Tsikhanouskaya's Visit to Poland. On Wednesday, a meeting between Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya will take place at the Prime Minister's Chancellery. Additionally, a meeting with Belarusians in Warsaw is planned.
Bodnar's Term Ends. Wednesday marks the end of the five-year term of Adam Bodnar, the Commissioner for Human Rights. However, Parliament has not yet elected a new Commissioner, and according to the law, the current Commissioner will continue to serve until a new one takes office.
Senate Session. The two-day Senate session will commence on Thursday. The agenda includes the so-called COVID-19 amendment – in practice, an anti-crisis shield for tourism – as well as the so-called privatization bill, a report from the Minister of Health on the availability of healthcare services during the coronavirus epidemic, and the presentation of a healthcare strategy for the autumn-winter period.
Rating Update by Moody's. Friday is scheduled for a review of Poland's rating by Moody's, one of the three largest rating agencies.
