Mueller on PiS Leader's Vice Premiership: We Are Happy About This Because It Strengthens the Entire Government's Functioning and the Creation of a New Committee Will Improve Government Work
- I do not want to preempt declarations from the party leader and the prime minister, but everything points to it, and indeed, party leader Jarosław Kaczyński will be in the government, and we are happy about this because it strengthens the functioning of the entire government, and the creation of a new committee will improve government work. However, the final decision rests with the party leader and the prime minister to announce it - said Piotr Mueller in Woronicza 17.

Mueller:
The Presidium of the Political Committee will meet on Monday evening to discuss the schedule for government changes
- United Right will last at least until the end of this term, and I am convinced that the next elections, which we will contest together, will end in another victory. Tomorrow evening, the Presidium of the Political Committee will meet to discuss the schedule for government changes, and as we announced, changes will be made at the end of September or the beginning of October - said Piotr Mueller in Woronicza 17.

There's Buzz About September 30th Farmers' Protests
- Major farmers' protests are being prepared and the Minister of Agriculture should take a stand. There's a lot of talk about farmers' protests on September 30th. There's an appeal to the President for a veto, because it seems there is a will from the President to consider it - said Paweł Bejda on Woronicza 17.

Mucha on the "Five for Animals" package: It's hard to judge final decisions when work is ongoing. We have a Senate session scheduled for mid-October.
- We know that amendments will still be introduced in the Senate. It's hard to judge final decisions when work is ongoing. We have a Senate session scheduled for mid-October. In particular, the President wants to use this time of Senate deliberations for consultations with the agricultural community. These appeals are premature. The President has stated that the farmer's interest and the well-being of the countryside are always his top priority, although he also considers aspects of humane animal treatment. Therefore, it is not yet possible to make a global assessment of this bill, which is still under Senate consideration. The President will be very actively consulting with the farming and breeding community - said Paweł Mucha on Woronicza 17.

Mucha:
There is unity regarding the United Right and the President
- The President expressed his joy that within the United Right, we have reached positive resolutions, and as President Jarosław Kaczyński said – this is good news for Poles that these positive changes, implemented together with the President, will continue. The agreement of the three partners means stability and taking on the challenges we discuss. The President outlined the agenda regarding the pandemic at the cabinet council, and spoke about agricultural matters. We have a good starting point for the process of rebuilding growth to occur next year. There is unity regarding the United Right and the President – said Paweł Mucha on Woronicza 17.

I Didn't Think I'd Praise the President on Air, But the Presidential Office Pays More Attention Than the Government to What's Happening in the Country
- President Duda is leading the way in outlining this issue. I didn't think I'd be praising the President on air, but the Presidential Office, more than the government, pays greater attention to what's happening in the country - said Jarosław Urbaniak on Woronicza 17.

Mueller:
It's with regret I note that this honesty in PO comes sadly after the elections, because you couldn't direct these praises during the campaign, nor regarding the shield, when we learned behind the scenes that it is good after all.
- It's with regret I note that this honesty in PO comes sadly after the elections, because you couldn't direct these praises during the campaign, nor regarding the shield, when we learned behind the scenes that it is good after all. The meetings of the government crisis management team may not be a media event, but we are discussing a new strategy to simultaneously not freeze the economy and, on the other hand, to ensure care for all sick people. We are ready both in terms of respiratory support and a new system for ensuring hospitalization, hence a new strategy of a modified approach - said Piotr Mueller in Woronicza 17.
10:29
Mueller:
The number of 14-15 ministries is non-negotiable
- The number of 14-15 ministries is non-negotiable. At least several ministers will leave the government, and several will be replaced. Personnel issues evoke the most emotion, but perhaps let's move on from this topic - said Piotr Mueller in Woronicza 17.
10:44
Urbaniak:
Yesterday, the directions were clearly outlined – taking care of the individual
- It would be inelegant for me to outline new program elements instead of Borys Budka or Rafał Trzaskowski. It would be rather inelegant. Yesterday, the directions were clearly outlined – taking care of the individual, which is evident in the example of vaccines, which are not available for ordinary Poles. We want to stand on the side of hard-working Poles, including farmers. You are planning more and more taxes, which you like to call fees. There isn't a quarter when you don't tax something, be it mini-liquor bottles, sugar, or juices - said Jarosław Urbaniak on Woronicza 17.

Bejda:
There's no need for a hegemon and a single leader on the opposition's side. We're going our own way. This is the direction of a centrist-Christian democratic grouping. Until now, Civic Platform voted with PiS against farmers on the 'Five for Animals
"There's no need for a hegemon and a single leader on the opposition's side. We're going our own way. This is the direction of a centrist-Christian democratic grouping. Until now, Civic Platform voted with PiS against farmers on the 'Five for Animals' issue," Paweł Bejda said on Woronicza 17.

Mueller:
I hope for a change in Civic Platform, as constructive opposition is beneficial for the government
"If Civic Platform were to point out our mistakes, which every government inevitably makes, it would be a support for the government. I hope for a change in Civic Platform, as constructive opposition is beneficial for the government," - said Piotr Mueller in Woronicza 17.

Stability is Needed for the Next Three Years. After Ministry Reductions, We Will Manage and Implement the Program More Effectively
"Stability is needed for the next three years. The time for discussion is behind us; now is the time for program implementation. We want to continue our efforts to emerge from the COVID crisis. People often emerge stronger from various crises, and we will too. After the reduction of ministries, we will manage and implement the program more effectively," said Paweł Szefernaker during "Śniadanie Polsat News" (Polsat News Breakfast).

I've worked with Czarek Tomczyk for many years and I'm very happy he's become head of the club. Szefernaker: I'm happy too
- He will be a great head of the club, new energy. You can see how much Platforma is changing. I've worked with Czarek Tomczyk for many years and I'm very happy he's become head of the club – said Marcin Kierwiński on Polsat News Breakfast.
- I'm happy too – interjected Szefernaker, causing amusement in the studio.

"This is the face of Ewa Kopacz's government – a minister who said Poland could accept any number of refugees. This is not a new face. This is the face of Civic Platform that lost the election in 2015," said Paweł Szefernaker on Polsat News Breakfast.

Pasławska:
There is no room today to talk with the right. You deceived farmers in the elections
- There is no room today to talk with the right. We are very concerned about what the united right is doing, and there is no possibility to participate in the destruction of the state, as in Kaczyński's last Friday [initiative]. Poland is creating an embargo on its own products as the only country in the world. You deceived farmers in the elections - said Urszula Pasławska during the "Śniadanie Polsat News" [breakfast show].

Spychalski:
If you had a good offer, Poles would probably trust you, but they don't
"So if you have these recipes for Poles, how is it that you haven't been able to win any elections since 2015? If you had a good offer, Poles would probably trust you, but they don't," said Błażej Spychalski on Polsat News's 'Breakfast' program.

Spychalski:
The fact that a turning point has occurred is completely natural. Every government needs such a moment to discuss problems
- The fact that a turning point has occurred is completely natural. Every government needs such a moment to discuss problems. One must approach this calmly. The President said that the most important thing is a good, stable government, and that is what these talks were about: to implement these views that have a majority in society - said Błażej Spychalski on Polsat News Breakfast.

Szefernaker:
I Must Reveal a Secret of the United Right. We Cheered for Mr. Tomczyk All Week to Become Head of the Civic Platform Club
- I must reveal a secret of the United Right. I didn't want to do this, but I have to reveal it. Mr. Kierwiński provoked me into it - said Paweł Szefernaker on the Polsat News Breakfast program: - We cheered for Mr. Tomczyk all week to become the head of the Civic Platform club. We are happy about that. If the face of the Kopacz government is to be a new quality in politics… We quietly kept our fingers crossed for Mr. Tomczyk and we are very pleased that a man who, as part of mandatory relocation, wanted to bring an untold number of refugees to Poland, is today the new face of the Civic Platform.

When PO Ruled, Poland Had 10% Unemployment; Clinics Were Closed on January 1st, No Epidemic Needed, While Now Unemployment is Second Lowest in Europe Amidst the Coronavirus Crisis
- Poland is in a crisis that the world was not prepared for; no crisis management textbook even predicted that borders and airports would have to be closed one day. When PO governed, Poland had 10% unemployment, clinics were closed on January 1st, and no epidemic was needed for that. Currently, unemployment is the second lowest in Europe during the coronavirus crisis, and we are in 24th place regarding infection rates. Governments worldwide are making decisions day by day. While airports around the world were being turned into morgues, in Poland, only 150 COVID beds were occupied - said Paweł Szefernaker during an interview on "Śniadanie Polsat News":
12:18
Szefernaker:
The Prime Minister spoke his words on the twentieth day of falling infection rates in Poland. Today, no one would repeat those words, because we have a completely different situation worldwide.
"The Prime Minister spoke his words on the twentieth day of falling infection rates in Poland. Today, no one would repeat those words, because we have a completely different situation worldwide. You are frightening Poles, saying there will be a second Bergamo. Borys Budka said that on March 23rd. Was there a second Italy? Was there a second Great Britain? Our actions have brought results. A maximum of 130 respirators are occupied," said Paweł Szefernaker in Śniadanie Polsat News.

Political Week Ahead: Possible Government Reshuffle, Budget Deliberations, Senate's "Five for Animals," EU Summit, and Poland's Latest Credit Rating Update
The upcoming week in politics is primarily marked by a potential government reshuffle. Additionally, the government will address the 2021 budget bill – as per the Constitution, the draft must be submitted to the Sejm by the end of September. Prime Minister Morawiecki will also travel to Brussels for the European Council summit. Meanwhile, the Senate will deliberate on the so-called "Five for Animals" package, and S&P will update Poland's credit rating.
Government on the Budget. On Monday at 10:00 AM, the government will consider the draft budget bill for 2021 – in accordance with the Constitution, it must be sent to the Sejm by the end of September. The agenda also includes, among other items, the strategy for managing public finance sector debt for 2021-2024, a three-year plan for civil service appointment limits for 2021-2023, and the so-called supplementary budget bill, as well as a draft regulation on air traffic restrictions.
Possible Government Reshuffle. As we reported on 300POLITYKA, there is a plan within United Right for a government reshuffle to take place next week. On Monday evening, the Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS) Political Committee presidium will convene, during which the schedule for government changes is to be discussed. Prime Minister Morawiecki will be in Brussels on Thursday and Friday, so the reshuffle would have to occur by Wednesday at the latest.
Senate on "Five for Animals". On Tuesday at 11:00 AM, a two-day Senate session begins. The agenda includes the so-called "Five for Animals" package, although it is already known that the upper house will not adopt this proposal immediately. Marshal Grodzki has announced a special session for October 9th dedicated to the amendment of the animal protection act. The schedule also includes, among other items, another amendment to the so-called COVID act.
PAD's Consultations on "Five for Animals". As we hear, President Andrzej Duda will begin consultations on the aforementioned "Five for Animals" package next week, a topic also mentioned by Paweł Mucha. - "We know that amendments will still be introduced in the Senate. It is difficult to assess the final decisions when the work is ongoing. We have a Senate session planned for mid-October. In particular, the President wants to use this period of Senate work for consultations with the farming community. These appeals are premature. The President has stated that the interest of farmers and the good of the countryside are always his top priority, while also considering aspects of humane animal treatment. Therefore, there is no opportunity yet to make a global assessment of this law, which is still under Senate consideration. The President will actively consult with farmers and breeders," stated the presidential minister on TVP Info.
European Council. On Thursday and Friday, EU leaders will meet in Brussels to discuss foreign affairs, particularly relations with Turkey and the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean. They are also set to discuss relations with China, the situation in Belarus, and the poisoning of Alexei Navalny. Among the topics to be discussed are the single market, industrial policy, and digital transformation. The summit, originally scheduled for last week, was postponed due to the quarantine of President Charles Michel.
S&P's Update of Poland's Rating. On Friday, Standard & Poor's – one of the three major rating agencies – will update Poland's credit rating. This will be another assessment of our country's creditworthiness. Last Friday, Fitch agency confirmed Poland's existing rating.
