Spychalski:
The President Has Scheduled Changes in the Chancellery's Leadership for Today
„Today, these [personnel] changes will occur in the Chancellery of the President. The President has scheduled changes in the leadership of the Chancellery of the President for today. It would be a far-reaching irresponsibility on my part to announce changes before they have actually been implemented. The President will be implementing changes in the Chancellery of the President this afternoon. We will provide information after they have been carried out” - stated the President's spokesman, Błażej Spychalski, in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TVP Info's program "Jedziemy".

Spychalski:
President's Cooperation with Emilewicz and Ardanowski Was Very Close
„The cooperation, specifically with Ms. Emilewicz and Minister Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski, was very close, particularly in recent times. The coronavirus epidemic, which broke out a few months ago, caused us to have to take a great many very difficult, demanding steps, especially concerning economic issues” – said presidential spokesperson Błażej Spychalski on TVP Info.

Bielan:
PiS Chairman Authorized Me to Say He Was Simply a Little Cold. Despite Sunny Weather, It Was Quite Chilly, So Kaczyński Didn't Want to Stand Outside for Too Long
08:02
Bielan:
As far as I know, PJK will be at his new office in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister and at the party leader's office daily. He will try to combine these two roles.
- As far as I know, Prime Minister Kaczyński will be daily both in his office, a new office at Aleje Ujazdowskie in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, and at Nowogrodzka in the party leader's office. He will try to combine these two functions - stated Adam Bielan in the "Piasecki Conversation" on TVN24.
08:05
Bielan:
Kaczyński Tested Negative for COVID-19
- President Kaczyński, like probably everyone who participated in yesterday's ceremony, underwent a COVID test. The test, which came back negative, was done just before the ceremony. So there is no threat that the president currently has COVID, and secondly, I repeat, it was an outdoor ceremony - stated Adam Bielan on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

Budka:
I had no direct contact with Marshal Zgorzelski, but out of caution, I'm staying home
- Without tempting fate, everything is fine. Sanepid called me to, as they say, self-observe. I haven't been quarantined because I had no direct contact with Marshal Zgorzelski, but out of caution, I'm staying home - said Borys Budka in a conversation with Beata Michniewicz on the "Political Salon" of Polish Radio Trójka.
09:08
- If this project proceeds, it is, of course, an attempt to reclaim Mazovia in an undemocratic way. PiS cannot win in Warsaw, PiS has not been able to win in Mazovia for many years. The regional assembly and the majority here belong to Civic Coalition, Platforma, and PSL, which is why they will try all sorts of tricks to overturn the electoral verdict - said Borys Budka on Radio Trójka.
09:12
Budka:
I'm Deeply Admiring of Those Who Think a Three-Year-Out Election Program is the Best Way to Win. Don't Worry, This Work is Systematic.
- We are doing everything step by step. A program, a program declaration, and an ideological declaration for the 20th anniversary of Civic Platform. However, a program is always developed when we are heading into elections. We are preparing a very strong programmatic offensive from the ground up - said Borys Budka on Radio Trójka.
- I am always deeply admiring of those who think that an election program written three years before the elections is the best way to win an election. Don't worry, this work is systematic. We have a team of experts - he added.
09:16
Budka:
I Wish Today's Government Would Adhere to the Standards of Tusk's Government in the Nowak Watch Case. I Remind You that Morawiecki Has Still Not Fulfilled His Promise to Disclose Assets
- I wish today's government would adhere to the same standards as Donald Tusk's government in the case of Sławomir Nowak's watch. Because I remind you that Prime Minister Morawiecki has still not fulfilled his promise to disclose assets. A bill that would require spouses of individuals holding high state office to disclose their assets still lies in the Sejm - said Borys Budka on Polish Radio Trójka.

Gawkowski:
The Left Shows the Rulers a Red Card. A Red Card for Neglecting Polish Healthcare, for Doing Nothing to Fix It
- I am submitting a formal motion for a break and to urgently summon Prime Minister Morawiecki and Minister Niedzielski to parliament, because there is a pandemic situation that has been worsening for many months, and the government pretends nothing has happened. The Left is showing the rulers a red card today. A red card for neglecting Polish healthcare, for doing nothing to fix healthcare, and this is a tally of shame that I present before you, so you can see the 60,000 infections, the thousand people who have died. For 4 months, we heard that the Prime Minister was dismissing the coronavirus. He dismissed it so effectively that there are no hospital beds, ventilators are lacking, doctors are complaining, and Polish healthcare is in a mire. All because of you. Wake up, because Poland needs a government that will care for Poles - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski in the Sejm.

Andrusiewicz:
Warsaw to be in yellow zone with 99% certainty from Saturday. Over 100 districts to be announced tomorrow
- There's no point in hiding it, with 99% certainty Warsaw will be in the yellow zone from Saturday, so I urge all of you too, that after midnight from Friday to Saturday in Warsaw, masks will be mandatory, all indications point to that. Ladies and gentlemen, the number of districts we will announce tomorrow will certainly be over 100. We must reckon with this - said Wojciech Andrusiewicz during a press conference.
11:32
Andrusiewicz:
As of Today, This Bed Buffer Still Exists
- As of today, there are 4,000 occupied beds and 283 ventilators. I will clarify immediately, ladies and gentlemen, as of today, this bed buffer still exists. Across the country, we have around 9,500 beds at three hospital levels - said Wojciech Andrusiewicz during a press conference.
11:35
Andrusiewicz:
Tomorrow Minister Niedzielski will present the exact locations of all coordination hospitals
- Tomorrow, Minister of Health Adam Niedzielski will likely present to you the exact locations of all coordination hospitals that will be established in Poland by voivodes' decisions. Voivodes will be issuing such decisions already, so we will present to you exactly where patients will be directed - said Wojciech Andrusiewicz during a press conference.

„[The election of a new Ombudsman will not take place today] precisely because the Sejm session has been shortened to one day, effectively dedicated solely to matters concerning the budget bill. This is a decision by the Sejm Presidium. I believe the sole reason is indeed related to the illnesses among MPs. No, [this does not mean that PiS is reconsidering the choice of Rudzińska-Bluszcz]. There is a clear stance expressed by the Justice and Human Rights Committee. Such is also the opinion of the parliamentary majority, that this candidate from the United Right will not receive support” - Marek Ast of Law and Justice told journalists in the Sejm.
12:22
"If not at this session, then [the election of the Ombudsman] will be decided at the next session, probably still in October, and then the statutory procedure for nominating new candidates will be launched. It's hard for me to say who will come forward. I keep repeating that it should be a candidate who will also have a chance of acceptance by the Senate. Whether such a candidate will be selected, it is hard for me to say today. We have not announced and do not know any specific name regarding the parliamentary majority" - said Marek Ast from Law and Justice in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

The Sejm's Ethics Committee did not consider the motion for sanctions against MP Przemysław Czarnek today. As explained by its chairwoman, Monika Falej from The Left, the debate was postponed at her request due to the illness of the future Minister of Education and Science.
The committee's next session on this matter will take place during an additional Sejm session, scheduled for October 27 and 28. The Left had sought sanctions against Czarnek for his statements regarding LGBT individuals.

Sejm:
First Reading of the 2021 Budget Project. Kościński: We are ensuring funds for both pro-investment activities, essential for further economic stimulus, and the continuation of social programs.
- In the 2021 budget, we are ensuring funds for both pro-investment activities, which are so necessary for further stimulating the economy, and for the continuation of social programs, which also mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic – stated Tadeusz Kościński during the first reading of the draft budget act for 2021.
15:48
Kościński:
The 2021 Budget Bill is the Next Stage in the Plan for Economic Recovery After the Global Lockdown
- The 2021 budget bill is the next stage in the plan for returning to the path of growth after the global lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continuing a fiscal policy based on support, economic revitalization, and returning to the path of growth while maintaining the security of public finances – stated Tadeusz Kościński during the first reading of the 2021 budget bill.

“Every crisis, including the one caused by the pandemic, is an exam for the government. Unfortunately, it has failed this exam, and the proof of this is the current state of state finances, and yet the end of the epidemic is not even in sight. If it weren't for Poland, I would probably have the satisfaction of having warned many times from this podium that one must not recklessly spend money one does not have. This irresponsible attitude towards taxpayers' money has resulted in the fact that after 5 years of PiS governance, they have brought to the Sejm a budget project whose cumulative deficit for the years 2020-2021 amounts to 409.5 billion zlotys, and indeed you are right, Mr. Chairman [addressing Henryk Kowalczyk], numbers are not up for debate. Such a deficit should be like a bucket of cold water for the heads of the populist PiS government, heated by successive election campaigns. Unfortunately, in 2021, we again have permanent expenditures written down without coverage in permanent revenues. No one has ever devastated state finances like PiS” – said Izabela Leszczyna from Civic Coalition in the Sejm.
15:59
Kowalczyk:
In large countries like Italy, Spain, France, the drop is estimated at 13%. Against this backdrop, Poland's GDP drop of around 4% is truly an optimistic phenomenon.

- Yesterday, the president made changes to the Council of Ministers. The Prime Minister is making changes to the positions of secretaries of state, both in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister and in individual ministries. Today, the president decided on changes in the leadership of the Presidential Chancellery. The president dismissed the head of the Presidential Chancellery, Halina Szymańska, and simultaneously appointed Grażyna Ignaczak-Bandych as the head of the Presidential Chancellery - stated Błażej Spychalski at a press briefing.

Kukiz:
We Met with President Duda to Discuss Forming a Joint Expert Team on Peace Judges. Now We're Moving to Specifics. A Very Good Conversation.
- Today we met with President Andrzej Duda to discuss forming a joint expert team on peace judges. As you know, Kukiz’15 has been advocating for years to speed up court proceedings and subject the judiciary to citizen oversight. The meeting was a consequence of the President's response to my letter to candidates for the President of the Republic of Poland, in which President Duda responded very positively to some of our ideas and pledged to support them. Now we are moving to specifics. A very good conversation. I will inform you about further details, including personnel, soon - wrote Paweł Kukiz on Facebook.

The number of infections will definitely not decrease in the near future. We are counting on additional restrictions and a black-and-white situation for police officers to influence the coming days.
- The number of infections will definitely not decrease in the near future. We are counting on the fact that there is this Saturday, the introduction of rather categorical restrictions in yellow zones or in the red zone, and a black-and-white situation for the police. Precise indications of regulations regarding mask-wearing have been established, so these additional restrictions and this black-and-white situation for police officers, who will be able to issue fines freely, without fearing that a person will not accept the fine, citing justifications about their health, I think this is capable of influencing the coming days - said Wojciech Andrusiewicz in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on TOK FM radio's "Political Interview".

Marcin Mastalerek was appointed as a social advisor in September 2020, as reported by the Chancellery of the President on its website. Mastalerek is an expert in image, communication, and marketing, and was a co-creator of the victorious election campaigns of Andrzej Duda and the Law and Justice party in 2015. He is a former politician, local government activist, and a Member of Parliament (Sejm) of the VII term. Currently, he serves as the Vice-President of Ekstraklasa S.A.

„I will say it directly and very unequivocally: she should bear political responsibility, lose her position. This is a scandalous, insolent statement, and particularly scandalous coming from a German politician. German politicians should always exercise great delicacy when speaking to other European nations, because the starvation of other nations is something many Poles, Hungarians, and Romanians remember very well, how their ancestors were starved, for instance, in concentration camps. I recommend a pilgrimage of penance to Auschwitz, to the death cell of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe, for the Madam President. Perhaps then she will gain some humility” - said Deputy Marshal of the Senate Marek Pęk from Law and Justice on „Gość Wiadomości” on TVP Info.

„We have long traditions of treachery in Poland. I see that we are moving through centuries with treachery. In the 21st century, there are also statements that can be qualified in a similar way. In those times, supporters of the Targowica Confederation also traveled to Tsarina Catherine and delivered similar odes and critical remarks about Poland. This statement is unworthy of a Polish politician, contrary to Poland's national interest, and absolutely scandalous” - said the Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Marek Pęk from Law and Justice, on TVP Info.

Biedroń:
Kaczyński tried to 'grill' the 'Zioberki,' but it turned out the 'Zioberki' grilled Kaczyński. He had to show a more radical face, so he brought Czarnek into the government.

Biedroń:
I Know Barley Very Well. This PiS Hysteria Only Harms Poland, As It Makes Them Appear Completely Unbalanced, To the Point Where a Simple Mistranslation Causes the Entire PiS Party to Seize Up
- We know clearly that these words were mistranslated, that they were misinterpreted, that they were not about Poland. We know that caution is needed in this matter. We know Chairwoman Barley. I know her very well, because for many years she has also been involved with the rule of law in Europe. She is a former Minister of Justice of Germany. She is a truly very competent, very diplomatic person. And this PiS hysteria only harms Poland, because it makes them appear completely unbalanced, to the point where a simple mistranslation causes the entire PiS party to seize up - Robert Biedroń said on TVN24.
20:35
Biedroń:
If Kaczyński has a shred of conscience, I hope he can't sleep at night seeing these messages on the Ministry of Education walls. If I had more energy today, I'd be making such messages myself.
- If Kaczyński has a shred of conscience, I hope he can't sleep at night seeing these messages on the walls of the Ministry of National Education or the educational superintendencies. If I had more energy today, I would be making such messages on those buildings myself, because I believe that this should be the conscience of this government - said Robert Biedroń on TVN24.
