Lichocka:

The Most Important Thing Is Not to Believe PO, Don't Believe Post-Communists

Of course, PO liquidated military units, and despite various statements by Platform politicians – who claim it's not true – these are simply naked facts. The PIKS spot also aims to remind Poles how military units were liquidated – said Joanna Lichocka in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

They lie as they breathe, they lie every day and in every matter. However, the most important thing is, firstly, not to believe that group [PO]. Do not believe the post-communists, and it is absolutely necessary to go to the referendum, because the questions that will be asked in the referendum are among the most important that will determine the country's development. About what the next ruling teams will be able to do – she continued.

The opposition is now working to demobilize Poles so that the referendum is not valid, so that if, God forbid, they ever take power, it won't be binding for them – she stated.

Kobosko:

When I Read Comments Saying Giertych Was Bad Because Hołownia Could Have Nominated Him, and Today He's Good Because Tusk is Nominating Him, I Can Only Smile
- We negotiated for a long time, we talked about the Senate Pact [...] and to our and my surprise, because I participated in those talks, the Civic Platform, or Civic Coalition, did not nominate Roman Giertych, although in my opinion, it should have been expected, but at that time, Roman Giertych, I understand, was not convincing enough for the Civic Coalition - said Michał Kobosko in an interview with Iwona Kutyna on the program "Gość Radia ZET". - Yesterday's move [by Donald Tusk] was a certain surprise. I remember not so long ago when we quite openly, very openly stated that Roman Giertych should run for the Senate. We heard so many critical comments then, saying no, why, it's a scandal [...] because Roman Giertych does not belong to our party [...] we proposed that he be an independent candidate. There is a group of senators within the Senate Pact who do not carry any label from the four political parties, but are supported by this pact, and that was the proposal. At that time, this proposal did not suit New Left, which talks about it very loudly, nor the Civic Platform, which does not talk about it very loudly today - he continued. - But there is, I understand, a change in the situation, and today, when I read these comments, from which I infer that Giertych was bad then because Hołownia and Third Way could have nominated him, and today Giertych is good because Donald Tusk is nominating him, I can only smile and state that this is precisely how politics is in the autumn of this year - he went on to say.

Schetyna on Running for the Senate: 'This is Certainly Not a Degradation'
This is certainly not a degradation. Considering that four years ago, victory in the Senate and the creation of a Senate pact gave us the opportunity to normalize PiS's influence on politics and show that it is possible to win against PiS. I consider this an interesting direction - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - Is this about my comfort in these elections? It's about us winning against PiS and removing them from power. Someone else would probably have won [the Senate seat in Wrocław], but we discussed it with Chairman Tusk. Those were the arrangements. He is building his Civic Platform, Civic Coalition team in these Sejm and Senate elections, and we simply agreed that this construction is better [...]. We agreed together that this is a good variant both for the comfortable functioning of the entire Civic Coalition and for the Senate elections - he emphasized.

Schetyna on Giertych's Candidacy: He Will Be a Light Exposing Kaczyński's Weakness in This Campaign and His Unwillingness to Clash with PO

- This is the leader's influence on list creation [Roman Giertych's candidacy]. I am not judging it, but this is how it is in the largest parties, in all parties: the chairman, the party leader, has the greatest influence, especially during an election campaign, in creating electoral lists and electoral strategy - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- More important today is defeating PiS and building a political structure that will guarantee, or provide the greatest chances for this to happen. I believe so [Roman Giertych increases these chances], that I see it more as an example of an attack or an exposure of Kaczyński's weakness in this matter, because Kaczyński, fleeing Warsaw, not running against Tusk, and actually fleeing from a poor result and perhaps defeat by the leader of Konfederacja, Mentzen, in Warsaw, fleeing to Świętokrzyskie, has no choice. Can you imagine, Mr. Editor, a situation where today Kaczyński does not run in Świętokrzyskie and flees that electoral district from Giertych? It shows Kaczyński's total weakness - he continued.

- He will be the spearhead, he will be the light that will expose Kaczyński's weakness in this campaign and his lack of readiness to clash with Civic Platform, Civic Coalition, and Donald Tusk. He will show Kaczyński's fear of a political confrontation, because I believe we are already seeing it. Giertych will illuminate this situation even further - he added.

Trela:

This is a Tacky Election Campaign Funded by All Poles

- PiS has been in power for 8 years. If there was truly something to this, Jarosław Kaczyński, first Beata Szydło, then Mateusz Morawiecki, Zbigniew Ziobro, who is the Prosecutor General, of questionable quality, but he is. For 8 years, he could have pursued the matter, there could have been an investigation, there could have been interrogations, they have all state services at their disposal. For 8 years, they did absolutely nothing, there was no issue, now the issue has appeared because it's an election campaign. And all citizens should know this: there are no Russian influences in the politicians of today's opposition, it is solely an election campaign - said Tomasz Trela at a press conference of The Left in Łódź.

- This is a tacky election campaign funded by all Poles. After '89, we had over a dozen different elections – local, parliamentary, European, presidential – and there has never been such tackiness as there is now in this campaign, such exploitation of state services and public funds - he stated.

Grodzki Announces Senate Commission to Investigate Russian Influence:

We Even Have an Idea Who We'll Invite First.

- At the next Senate session in September, a completely legal, constitutional, and regulation-compliant special Senate commission will be established to investigate Russian influence, and we even have an idea of who we'll invite first. No, not Minister Macierewicz or Prime Minister Morawiecki - stated Tomasz Grodzki at a press briefing in the Senate.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

This 'Russian' Commission is Against Poland. After the Elections, We Will Establish a Law and Justice Commission
- We will not nominate any representatives to such a commission, we will not put forward any candidates, because we believe that this 'Russian' commission is simply against Poland and against Poles, but we will create another commission after the elections, with a proudly sounding name. We will establish a Law and Justice commission to investigate all PiS affairs. Be sure of this, it will be a special commission with extraordinary powers, which will be an investigative commission; four years, I think, is the minimum time for its work [...] The 'Russian' commission will pass into history, the one being established today by the ruling party; a Law and Justice commission will be created - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

Morawiecki:

We Warn of Tusk's Return. He Repeatedly Deceitfully Lied to Various Social Groups

- You might not remember it, but your parents or grandparents certainly do. It was only we who restored dignity to seniors. Thanks to the 13th and 14th pensions or free medications for seniors, you no longer have to listen at the family table about the difficult financial situation of older family members. This was the case during Tusk's rule – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a recording published on social media.

- Devastating, isn't it? That's why we warn of Tusk's return. He repeatedly deceitfully lied to various social groups. He promised help, but threw scraps. He deceived your parents, and he will deceive you too – he added.

Morawiecki:

Grabiec 'Completely Plowed Over' by New Campaign Video
- Today I would like to refer to the video spot that our camp, the Law and Justice camp, has presented. Specifically, the dismantling of the Polish army by our predecessors, by Civic Platform. As the youth say – Grabiec has been completely plowed over, because he himself first dramatically tried to prevent the liquidation of a military unit during the Civic Platform’s time, and then, not so long ago, claimed on television, during a journalistic program, that Civic Platform did nothing of the sort. I really don’t know how one can dig themselves in deeper, but today, instead of sinking into the ground, he decided to dig himself an even deeper hole. We see, of course, what is happening – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during a live social media broadcast. - First and foremost, I encourage everyone to take a look at the official websites of the Ministry of National Defence, official, meaning that if there were any untruths there, we would have been sued immediately under electoral law, so there you will find information about which organizational units were closed during the times of Tusk, during the times of Minister Klich, and other ministers of national defence. It is an extremely important matter to use facts, to look at what it looked like back then – he emphasized.
