- Mr. Kołodziejczak currently holds no public office. So, in short, he is being received, or will be received, at the request of Donald Tusk by his colleagues from the EPP, in order to create the impression that he is accomplishing something. Incidentally, I have the impression, not just an impression but also insider information from the European Commission, that this procedure has been extended so that this show could be staged precisely during the European Parliament session in Strasbourg - stated Piotr Müller in a conversation with Grzegorz Kępka on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- I think so, we are close to extending this solution, but I will say it this way: even if it doesn't happen, we have a ready regulation that we will implement at the national level on this matter, and this is the government's decision. Today, moreover, a Council of Ministers resolution will be adopted on this matter, the government will adopt a resolution calling on the European Commission to extend this ban, and at the same time will announce that if this does not happen, we will adopt solutions at the national level based on the security clause - stated Piotr Müller in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

- Please tell me, what are the premises on which Donald Tusk is building the narrative that Mr. Trzaskowski has become president. He said that he won the presidential election – that's nonsense, it's an aberration, it's some kind of idiocy. He is creating a certain mood of threat in Poland, of dictatorship. Elections are free, everyone can run. The opposition is using this, sometimes even excessively, because they put forward numerous lists – stated Maciej Wąsik in the program 'Signals of the Day' on PR1.

- It seems to me that it is rather building a narrative that he [Donald Tusk] knows he will lose, so as to say 'Didn't I tell you these elections were unfair, I lost because they were unfair'. What is unfair about these elections? – he added.

- Of course, NIK has the right to issue such verdicts, but these are reports that are subsequently subject to potential assessment by the prosecutor's office and the court, and that's how the procedure works in Poland. Ever since President Banaś clearly took a side in the political arena, that is, for Konfederacja, and his son is running for the Sejm with that political party, it's hard to speak of any credibility of NIK. Such reports will appear in droves just before the elections, because as I understand it, it's probably understandable even to most of those listening to us, President Banaś wants his son to get into the Sejm, and for that to be possible, he has to attack us - stated Piotr Müller in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- I think recently MP Grabiec said that Confederation has interesting programmatic ideas. This is laying the groundwork to sit down and talk. Yes, I can imagine such a government. Hatred of PiS unites, please remember this and look at what a hodgepodge the PO list is - stated Maciej Wąsik in the program "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

- I can't imagine cooperating with Konfederacja. I don't know what and who Konfederacja is today. It's a union of forces from several different environments. We all saw Konfederacja's summer surge, which has ended; their ratings are falling. In my opinion, it's very rightly so that they are falling. Many elements of the programs that Konfederacja presents are completely incompatible with Poland's raison d'état and with our understanding of democracy - stated Michał Kobosko in an interview with Grzegorz Jankowski on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

- We will present all these details during the election campaign. It was our economic convention on Saturday, where we presented a whole package of matters, a whole package of projects, which are our projects and those of the Polish People's Party. Now, in the course of subsequent meetings, we cannot reveal all our cards at once; we will present detailed solutions - stated Michał Kobosko on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.

- We were greatly anticipating the Saturday convention of Civic Coalition because, until then, we lacked full clarity on their program and what they intended to present to voters. Now, we have greater clarity and are ready to discuss the program for a future government with other democratic opposition parties - stated Michał Kobosko on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

- We are a party at the center, and you know perfectly well that I am a conservative centrist, so I don't rule out such possibilities, but you also heard that The Left has already decidedly ruled out such a possibility, and our coalition partner Poland 2050 also largely rules it out. So today, it should be in the interest of the three opposition groups, the Third Way, The Left, and Civic Coalition, to achieve a result that allows for the formation of an independent government and without looking to other partners - stated Marek Sawicki in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- You, on behalf of the Third Way, may not rule out a coalition with Confederation. I and the other leaders of the Left UNEQUIVOCALLY rule out a coalition with your brown colleagues - wrote Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Twitter, responding to Artur Dziambor's words.

Ty w imieniu Trzeciej Drogi możesz nie wykluczać koalicji z Konfederacją. Ja i pozostali liderzy Lewicy JEDNOZNACZNIE wykluczamy koalicję z Twoimi brunatnymi kolegami.

The number of locations where you can use the ORLEN Paczka service has now exceeded 10,000. The concern is dynamically increasing its potential in the courier services market by acquiring new partner points and investing in its own parcel lockers. By the end of the year, the company aims to have four thousand such automated machines.

– The courier services segment is an important part of ORLEN Group's retail offering development strategy. In 1.5 years, ORLEN Paczka has become a significant player in the domestic market and continues to develop very dynamically. Over the year, the number of our service's clients has increased by 90 percent. We are focusing on expanding our logistical capabilities and developing the parcel locker segment, the number of which will double this year – says Daniel Obajtek, CEO of ORLEN Group.

At the end of August, the number of ORLEN Paczka pick-up points exceeded 10,000. Parcels can currently be sent and received at over 3,300 parcel lockers, approximately 1,100 petrol stations, 700 RUCH kiosks, and around 5,000 partner points. The ORLEN Paczka network is dynamically expanding every day.

Since its launch in September 2021, ORLEN Paczka has recorded significant increases in parcel volumes and a multiplication of the number of senders. Compared to the second quarter of last year, in the last quarter of this year, the concern noted a 165% increase in parcel volume and a 90% increase in the number of users. The service guarantees next-day delivery of parcels from online stores and provides up to three days for parcel collection. To enhance the comfort and accessibility of ORLEN Paczka, the concern is heavily investing in parcel lockers. Currently, there are 3,300 of them, but by the end of the year, their number will exceed 4,000.

Simultaneously, the concern is developing its logistics center network. ORLEN Paczka currently has 19 centers and plans to launch another four by the end of the year. The company is also increasing the number of couriers and expanding logistical routes to ensure next-day delivery from online stores, despite the growing number of clients and transported parcels.

The concern is noting consistent increases in ORLEN Paczka user satisfaction ratings – as many as 82 percent of them give it the highest rating, and 91 percent of clients rate it as above average.

The PiS government is protecting Polish farmers! We will not open our borders to Ukrainian grain! The EMBARGO remains! - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter.

- You've surely heard that yesterday Minister Sasin decided to add another noose to the electoral sausage they'll be feeding us before the elections. A 125 PLN bonus for every household, not per person, for every household that consumes electricity, because electricity is expensive, Minister Sasin noted. This is a very valuable observation in the eyes of someone who recently intensively made us dependent on foreign coal, who, together with the United Right government, led to the situation where we can no longer have cheap, green electricity from Polish wind and sun today, on the scale we should. Imagine today their social justice, scattering 125 PLN, which will be received equally by Obajtek and a family with five children from Elbląg, me, each of us, regardless of their status, where they are, or whether they truly need it or not. Is this social justice? Because in my opinion, this is communism, it's giving everyone equally, throwing money from a helicopter, and by a team that bought 20 million tons of foreign coal – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- Today we should not burn money on pre-election sausage, but invest all available funds to make life cheaper for us and future generations year after year – he added.

- This year we have a chance to achieve an unprecedented record – over 50 billion euros in Polish exports from entrepreneurs like you, whom you see here, and those I spoke with from various sectors. These are the ones who ensure our food security. Until COVID, the outbreak of the pandemic, few remembered this slogan, this need to ensure food security. It seemed to everyone that it was given once and for all, but it is precisely thanks to Polish farmers, agricultural processors, and producers that we have indeed ensured this security. Today, I spoke with entrepreneurs about how to ensure competitiveness in the Polish market, a market where large, usually foreign, chains are also active – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kosów Lacki.

- One of the entrepreneurs recalled an extremely important regulation, which I can say from this place that we will strive not only to enforce as best as possible but perhaps even strengthen. If discount chains or supermarkets display agricultural or other articles on their shelves, they can only present 20% of these articles under their own brand. The rest must be under the producer's own brand. Otherwise, Polish producers have a much harder time breaking into the domestic and foreign markets with their own brand – he continued.

- Our strategy, another part of which we presented last week and at our congress in Końskie, is to shorten the path from field to table. Polish entrepreneurs, producers, and agricultural processors are the key link in this strategy. We do not want only large international corporations, which bought up processing here, very often in the 90s, or even the 2000s, to be active in Poland. We cooperate with everyone, but now the Polish brand is key – he emphasized.

- We are currently experiencing turbulence in the milk market, which is why we spoke today with the head of the cooperative, the CEO of Mlekovita, one of Poland's largest dairy companies, about this procurement. About the procurement of butter and powdered milk, and this procurement has been entrusted by the Polish government to the Government Agency for Strategic Reserves - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kosów Lacki.

- I sent an ultimatum to the EC. An unequivocal demand: either you extend the ban on importing 4 Ukrainian grains on October 15th, or we will extend the ban ourselves, because we cannot agree to the destabilization of Polish markets - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kosów Lacki.

OKO.press has published the results of the latest IPSOS poll. "KO and Confederation are plummeting, with a huge surge in undecided voters," assesses the portal.

Pis – 35% (+2 compared to June)

KO – 26% (-5)

Lewica – 8% (nc)

Konfederacja – 8% (-4)

Third Way – 6% (-1)

Non-Partisan Local Government Officials – 1% (nd)

Other – 1% (nc)

Hard to Say – 14% (+8)

- What I can promise you, together with the Minister of Agriculture, is that we will always be with you, through thick and thin, that regardless of whatever disaster befalls farmers, the Polish countryside, we will not bury our heads in the sand, pretending that 'there's no money and there won't be'. We will not say, 'I didn't elect you, the village head'. The central government exists to help people in their daily lives, in their work, in the toil of Polish farmers. The problem we are currently facing is literally that in 3 days there is supposed to be an EU ban on the import of Ukrainian grain - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Korczówka-Kolonia.

- And generally, although it means something different for breeders than for producers, I want to say clearly. That we cannot agree to the Polish market being disrupted and destabilized by the rapid, uncontrolled import of Ukrainian grain, and that is why I am saying as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, after the decision we made today at the Council of Ministers, that either the EU will extend this embargo, the ban on importing Ukrainian grain into the EU, at our request in 3 days, or we ourselves will unilaterally implement a solution, which we already implemented in mid-April to protect the Polish market - he continued.

- On April 15th, something happened that some said was impossible, that Poland decided to make a decision against the European Union, against all those who want to impose certain things on us, and then, following the decision of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński, we closed the border. We closed the Ukrainian border precisely to show the European Union that lifting customs duties on Ukraine is a major problem. It was the European Union that made this decision. The European Union knew that this was a big problem for our country and for the border countries, but they didn't want to do anything about it, and our decision caused the European Union to start discussing this issue. It was our decision that created 5 countries, a coalition of frontline countries, which led to the introduction of a ban until September 15th, but without any argument. No substantive argument as to why it is September 15th. This is a political decision - stated Robert Telus during a press conference in Korczówka-Kolonia.

- Therefore, what happened today in the Council of Ministers, thanks to the prime ministers, is that we adopted a resolution. A resolution that speaks clearly, calling on the European Commission to decide on extending the deadline for the ban on grain imports to Poland, and if the European Commission does not implement this within these 2 or 3 days, then on the night of the 15th to the 16th, our regulation will be in force. Our regulation, which will stop this grain so that it does not continue to affect the Polish market. This is in the interest of Polish farmers. This is in the interest of Poland - he added.

- When we look around us, we see two worlds. We have a world of great riots, burning cars, looted shops. I don't know if any mother would let her daughter out on the street after 9 or 10 PM if we had a situation like the one near Marseille, near Paris, near Stockholm, or Berlin, where there are districts of horror, ghettos closed off from residents, it's so dangerous. We have our country defended by the PiS government from such a scenario - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Siedlce.

- We had to fix the budget after those scoundrels and thieves, and start investing in social policy. I could talk for a long time, but I'll tell you this briefly. Tusk is like a thief, he won't give you anything, he'll take everything away from you. He already had his chance, he messed everything up, he neglected everything here, he compromised himself, and then he ran away - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Siedlce.

- They want to bring about a great wave of illegal immigration, and we do not want to agree to that, and we will not. They want to let hundreds of thousands of people in here. How do I know this? The simplest thing is that Tusk, as President of the European Council, threatened Poles, Hungarians, Slovaks, Czechs, and other nations with penalties, meaning consequences. If we do not comply with the demands of Merkel, the Germans, and Brussels, because they ruled then, but we resisted then. Despite the force that was pushing us then, in June 2018, we said a firm 'no' to illegal emigration, and we will say it again in the referendum - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Siedlce.

- I want to ask you to mobilize, to stay with us for these next four weeks. It's only four weeks and three days left, until the end, until the election silence. Persevere in convincing others, let the Polish nation awaken, especially in local Poland. Because these are elections that will decide not about four years, not about eight, but will decide about decades. Therefore, I have a great plea, let us never doubt Poland - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Siedlce.

- Mr. Kołodziejczak in the European Parliament gallery in Strasbourg. He has never seen Polish agriculture defended so closely in high politics. At least he looked - wrote PiS MEP Bogdan Rzońca on Twitter.

- We will definitely discuss the details [of pensionable service age] after October 15th, if the elections go the way of the United Right, and that is the most important thing for us. In the Sejm, there is a citizens' initiative from Solidarity, because we are using our right in our country, unlike those who talk about the rule of law and the constitution, then break the law at every step and encourage people not to participate in the referendum. We used [our right], we prepared a citizens' initiative - said Piotr Duda in the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

- Certainly, these pensions will not be low, they will certainly be lower for women, because it is only 38 years of contribution period, but if someone has worked their entire professional life, started working at the age of 18 and paid these contributions, then these pensions will certainly not be at a starvation level. They will not be terribly high, but they will not be starvation-level – he added.

- I am surprised by all these hypocrites from Civic Platform, all those who urge not to go to the referendum, etc., etc. On their lips they have catchphrases of the rule of law, constitution. What are they afraid of? Let them vote against, and let them not retire at 65 at all today. And I hope that those who retire at 65, I hope that all of them retire at 67. They listen to their guru Tusk and retire when they are 67, and women too when they are 67 – said Piotr Duda on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.
