The Senate will resume its deliberations at 10:00 AM. This will be the second day of the session.
It is possible that changes in the government will be announced as early as today – this timeline appeared in the media yesterday, with Piotr Müller among those speaking about it. "Tomorrow, all the details regarding this main government structure will be available, and most likely, all this information will be presented tomorrow," stated the government spokesperson on TVP Info.
07:31
Sobolewski:
It's a matter of a dozen or so hours, perhaps, before all information regarding the new-old government, its structure, and personnel matters is clear. The Prime Minister will announce this.

Sobolewski:
Judicial Reform Will Undoubtedly Continue
- For the next minimum of 3 years. That's a minimum of 3 years, because this [coalition] agreement is long-term, we want to implement what we committed to the Polish people, and in 2023, stand before the Polish people as the United Right and ask them how they assess what we have done over the last 8 years and whether we should continue as the United Right - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski in "Sygnały dnia" PR1.
- Everything we will implement in the near future, through laws in the Sejm, naturally stems from this agreement. I can reveal a little secret. The continuation of the judicial reform will undoubtedly happen, because that is what we ran on in the 2015 elections. It will be presented soon as legislative projects, and then we will talk about the details - continued the Chairman of the PiS Executive Committee.
07:45
- The word "media" in a broad sense is on the table. But I would ask that this is the only thing that comes from me regarding this. "Media" in a broad sense. This is not about dealing with the media, God forbid. "Media" in a broad sense, and we certainly want this topic to emerge this year, both in the media sphere and in the legislative sphere - stated Krzysztof Sobolewski in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1, when asked about the issue of media concentration.

Girzyński:
I'm Glad This Government Was Formed, as It Creates Opportunities for Efficient State Reforms, But I Will Demand Efficiency from Ziobro and Every Minister
„I had significant reservations regarding the work of Deputy Prime Minister Gowin as Minister of Science and Higher Education. We have a parliamentary majority. I am glad this government was formed because it creates opportunities for an efficiently managed process of changes in the state, but I will demand from Minister Ziobro and every minister that they conduct the work they are responsible for efficiently. I hope this will be the case” - said Zbigniew Girzyński from PiS in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24.

Girzyński:
Foch's Versailles Warning Echoes: "Either Cooperation or Conflict with Ziobro"
"If I meet Ziobro in the Sejm corridor, I will say: Zbyszek, next time. When the Treaty of Versailles was signed, the man who won World War I, Ferdinand Foch, said then these significant words: 'This is not peace. This is an armistice for 20 years.' Either there will be harmonious cooperation, and Zbigniew Ziobro will also start implementing a policy that is more effective and palatable for our environment, or this conflict may resurface" - said Zbigniew Girzyński from PiS on TVN24.

Siemoniak:
Tomczyk Received More Votes, That's Democracy. I Stand by My Opinion. I Believe it Would Be Good to Have a Woman in Top Leadership.
- Cezary Tomczyk received more votes, that is democracy. I am not changing my opinion. I believe it would have been good to have a woman in top leadership, specifically MP Urszula Augustyn, but more people decided otherwise, and that must be respected. Cezary Tomczyk also has many advantages - said Tomasz Siemoniak in a conversation with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia ZET".
08:19
Siemoniak:
It's Good Hołownia is Forming a Party, as Democracy Relies on Parties. If He Positions Himself with the Opponents of the Current Ruling Camp, Which He Has Clearly Stated Many Times, He Strengthens the Opposition.
- It's good that Szymon Hołownia is forming a party, because democracy simply relies on political parties. Even if they sometimes feel ashamed of it or hide the fact that they are simply parties - said Tomasz Siemoniak on Radio ZET.
- He achieved a very good result in the presidential elections. That must be respected. He has the right to form a party or in some way leverage that result. If he positions himself with the opponents of the current ruling camp, which he has clearly stated many times, he strengthens the opposition - he added.

Siemoniak:
A Major Political Move Requires Entirely Different Conditions. Proximity of Elections. Today, There's No Reason for High Polls and High Momentum

Zgorzelski:
If Our Amendments to the Animal Protection Act Are Rejected by PO Senators, Our Presence in the Senate Majority May End
“Because PSL senators constitute the Senate majority, we obtained, we worked for, the inclusion of time for a public hearing, which took place. There is also time for good work in committee, where amendments can be submitted. Today, we are submitting a great many amendments, three of which are fundamental to us” – said Deputy Speaker of the Sejm Piotr Zgorzelski from PSL-Koalicja Polska in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News.
“There are more amendments, but three are fundamental. If they are not adopted in the Senate, I will consider that the Senate majority… If they are adopted [the amendments], we will consider supporting this project. If they are not adopted and are rejected by the votes of PO senators, then we will consider that our presence in the Senate majority may be concluded” – he added.

- Even before the epidemic broke out, school trips used to come. Pupils learned Polish history, as it were, in monuments, places that remembered those cruel times [of German occupation], and today a group of idiots is trying to destroy these types of buildings. Let me remind you, when several years ago the Taliban in Afghanistan were destroying the statues of Buddha, there was worldwide outrage. I hope that today in Poland this type of action will also cause widespread indignation and will also serve as a warning to vandals in the future that such things are not done - said Dariusz Piontkowski during a press briefing.

“This is not a provocation. He is a professor, a former voivode, an excellent organizer, an outstanding individual with very clear views, so it seems to me this is a very good candidacy. Whoever becomes the Minister of Education, the opposition will complain anyway, so we approach this calmly. It is true [that we are opting for an assertive politician], but these are the times when we need to push through programmatic reform in education after a well-executed and implemented organizational reform” – said Ryszard Terlecki, Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, in the Sejm in an interview cited by TVN24.

- It [the exhibition] shows that it is not only history that influences a person's fate, but it is strength of character, the human spirit, the will to fight that can influence the course of history. This entire exhibition tells a story of courageous, brave people who acted rightly in difficult times. When I think about my father's path, I am increasingly convinced that in science, politics, physics, and public life, he sought what is primary, what is elementary, fundamental. Goodness and truth. And to these values, he subordinated his public actions, regardless of the circumstances. He used to say that all of us together are more important than each of us individually, while at the same time expressing the same value that the community, an independent community, represents - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Warsaw, during the ceremony of unveiling the plaque commemorating the late Kornel Morawiecki.

“*In the structural consolidation, we also took into account the need for experts from various units to complete their analyses as quickly as possible, as these analyses form the basis of the decision-making process. Secondly – the decision-making process itself and its speed, which will improve as a result of reducing the scope of Poland’s departmental responsibilities, as we call it. And thirdly, increasing efficiency, which means reducing costs, bureaucracy, and accelerating administrative processes. These substantive premises guided us in making these decisions, developed jointly within the entire United Right camp under the leadership of President Jarosław Kaczyński. I am convinced that they will contribute to what we have planned in the first place: a faster exit from the crisis, faster and better handling of this crisis than our partners in Europe*,” said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
15:44
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced the composition of the new government at a press conference. - What we promised Poles. Poland as a welfare state. This is the core of our program, while also being based on values. Polish values, European values. With this in mind, I would like to present from this place a few new ministers who will take over units that have been enlarged in most cases - the Prime Minister stated.
Deputy Prime Minister - Jarosław Kaczyński
Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry - Grzegorz Puda
Przemysław Czarnek - Ministry of Education and Science
Ministry of Development, Labour and Technology - Jarosław Gowin, who will also serve as Deputy Prime Minister
Michał Cieślak from Porozumienie and a representative from Solidarna Polska, who will be designated shortly, are also joining the government.
15:54
Tomczyk:
There's One Positive Aspect. Kaczyński as Deputy Prime Minister Will Be Accountable, Also in the Future Before the State Tribunal
- There is one positive aspect that I would like to address, namely the aspect of Jarosław Kaczyński joining the government. On the one hand, it is an expression of helplessness and capitulation, but on the other hand, it is finally a moment when Jarosław Kaczyński, as Deputy Prime Minister, will be an accountable person, also in the future before the State Tribunal. Because it will be Jarosław Kaczyński who will oversee key ministries. He will likely oversee the Ministry of National Defence, but also the Ministry of Justice, where all these bad things are happening - said Cezary Tomczyk during a press conference.
15:55
Tomczyk:
We Will Hold This Government Accountable for Every Action. We Aim to Establish Numerous Secretariats with Individuals Responsible for Specific Departments
- We will hold this government accountable for every action. Within parliamentary work, in the coming days, we aim to establish a whole series of secretariats, individuals who will be responsible for specific departments, once we learn the details regarding the formation of this government. I can promise you that we will be very persistent in this - said Cezary Tomczyk during a press conference.
15:58
Tomczyk:
In the Coming Days, We Will Address Individual Ministries and Summarize Their Actions
- In the coming days, we will also address individual ministries and we will want to summarize the actions of these ministries - stated Cezary Tomczyk during a press conference.
- One thing is certain. This is not a government of change. It is a government of bad change and the selection of the worst possible ministers. At the same time, it is a government that continues a certain lie. These worst ministers were supposed to leave this government eventually. Minister Ziobro, Minister Czarnek are symbols that will be with us for the coming months and years. And at the same time, it must be clearly stated that we will hold this government accountable at every step - he continued.
16:08
- Andrzej Duda received a delegation from the Farmers' Protest Committee at the Presidential Palace. The meeting concerned the amendment to the animal protection act currently being processed in parliament. The President also spoke with representatives of the Agricultural Agreement - informed the Presidential Chancellery.
17:22
- You haven't presented the reason why you are changing this government. If you don't know why you are changing this government, then you are changing it to, firstly, avoid early elections, because you fear losing them, and secondly, you had to settle things, shuffle around various positions. Among these positions, one particularly displeases me. I wanted to speak about my favourite, Mr. Minister Czarnik. I will give one, short quote, don't worry. 'Let's stop listening to this nonsense about human rights or equality. These people are not equal to normal people.' Ladies and gentlemen, this was said by the Minister of Education. A homophobic nutcase who will now teach our children about culture, history, and equality - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty during a press conference in the Sejm.
19:46
Trzaskowski:
I can't imagine how this government will function with a Deputy Prime Minister who is more important than the Prime Minister. This is just the beginning of the trouble.
19:47
- Poor people. I will pray for them and ask for wisdom to return to them. With such formulations, these gentlemen exclude themselves from the circle of people with whom one can have a serious conversation on any topic. I am open to all criticism and to conversations with everyone, but substantive conversations, honest conversations, and with real arguments - said Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
19:50
19:54
- I greatly respect Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin, I agree with him on many issues, but on this one we have completely different opinions. No, there is no place for these kinds of things that would be forcefully ideologizing Polish youth, Polish society. Of course, studies, learning, deepening knowledge about this ideology, among other things, is something that can take place in academic centers, but it cannot be about forcefully ideologizing Polish youth, because this is also contrary to the Polish legal order - said Przemysław Czarnek on Polsat News.
19:57
Czarnek:
We Have Excellent Teachers Who Simply Need to Be Strengthened. The Ethos of the Teacher Must Be Reinforced
- As for the directions, I am absolutely convinced that in Poland we have a teaching staff very well prepared for their mission. We have excellent teachers who simply need to be strengthened. The ethos of the teacher must be reinforced. This ethos of the teacher must be restored in many areas. We must once again convince society that a teacher is an extremely important and crucial person in the process of educating and bringing up Polish children and youth, and this is what I will be doing – said Przemysław Czarnek on Polsat News.
19:58
- Where were you during the election campaign when President Duda spoke of ideology, not people? Words about LGBT - asked Katarzyna Kolenda-Zaleska on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts after Facts).
- Exactly in the same place where I was 2 years ago and a year ago. I clearly stated that the attempt to divide Poles, to incite Poles, hate speech... Of course, during the campaign. About hate speech, about incitement, about the attempt to attack all minorities, including minorities related to sexual orientation, the entire campaign, PiS tried to make the entire campaign solely about this. However, the campaign was about this, but it was also about issues that are equally important to Polish women and men, such as health issues, such as education issues. All the time, constantly, for two years, all local government officials have been saying exactly, clearly that we will stand by all those who are attacked and harassed by PiS and we reacted strongly to the president's words, because there is no question of any ideology, we are simply talking about people, and today, it is precisely because of PiS, President Duda, that Poland probably has the worst possible reputation in the whole world as a country where the authorities are homophobic, trying to attack all minorities - said Rafał Trzaskowski.
- I remind you that I was attacked precisely for standing by minorities, including minorities related to sexual orientation. Later, they started attacking me because I allegedly cooperated with Germans as a minister, then even anti-Semitic cards were brought out. This is unfortunately how PiS and its policy look today, which primarily tries to divide us all and set us against each other, and from the very beginning we were against this, and the entire campaign in a sense was about whether we would talk about a common Poland, build a community, as I proposed, or whether we would constantly divide and incite, as PiS unfortunately does from the very beginning, and moreover, cynically all the time - emphasized the Mayor of Warsaw.
20:03
- I think I already have that affection. I need to maintain and grow it. Many communities are today expressing great hope for the future concerning education and science. I can assure you, definitely more communities than those that refer to me in some incomprehensible, and at times hateful, manner - said Przemysław Czarnek in Polsat News.
20:07
20:09
- I have absolutely no prejudice, Mr. Editor, towards people of any orientation. They are the ones who are more prejudiced against me. I am not interested in anyone's sexual orientation. I have said this many times, and I will repeat it once more. A person's sexuality is an extremely important sphere of their life, but it is private and intimate, and flaunting that sexuality in the city streets shows a lack of personal culture - said Przemysław Czarnek on Polsat News.
20:11
Trzaskowski:
Movement Inauguration on October 17th. There's Truly Immense People's Energy. It Needs to Be Channelled
- October 17th will be the inauguration of the movement, and we will do absolutely everything to allow people to sign up for the movement earlier. This is because there is truly immense energy among people. It needs to be channelled. On the 17th, we will speak precisely about all the actions we will be undertaking, because we want to meet in action and invite everyone who wants to act - stated Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".
