- I want to remind you of a certain statement [by Cezary Tomczyk about refugees]. It will be 8 years on Monday since the spokesperson of the PO-PSL government made this declaration. Fortunately, elections followed, which we won. And it turned out that nothing had to be taken on the chin. That there would be no forced relocation of illegal immigrants to Poland. They were already preparing special centers to place them there. Today, there are elections again. Donald Tusk pretends there is no issue. His party colleagues say so. On the matter of building a barrier on the border with Belarus, they went even further. Tusk attacked us like that back then. They were against everything we did to stop this invasion. This is what's at stake in these elections. Only PiS can stop Tusk - says Mariusz Kamiński in another PiS spot, published on social media.

- Yes, of course, such an interrogation will definitely take place. At this moment, I can say, contrary to the claims of PO politicians, and echoed by some media outlets, that there is currently not a shred of evidence that would indicate Mr. Wawrzyk profited in any way, or was criminally involved in this affair. An affair on a micro-scale compared to what the fairy tale writers from PO, who are in desperation because they are losing elections, are claiming - stated Zbigniew Ziobro in an interview with Krzysztof Ziemiec on RMF FM.

- Mr. Grodzki, Marshal Grodzki, took bribes, shamelessly took bribes and extorted them in the same way, according to the prosecution's procedural findings, from poor, sick patients. Mr. Grodzki relies on media reports, the prosecution he heads is formulating its charges, wants to formulate them, but Mr. Grodzki is hiding behind his immunity, and Donald Tusk is hiding him - stated Zbigniew Ziobro on RMF FM.

PARTNER TEXT

This year, the concern has nearly doubled its network of stations in Slovakia. All 90 stations now operate under the ORLEN brand. Following the completion of rebranding, ORLEN is focusing on expanding its non-fuel offering and developing alternative fuel distribution, including the launch of the first electric vehicle charging points. Further growth in the number of stations is also planned.

– We are effectively strengthening the ORLEN brand in Poland and the region. In Slovakia, in just four years, we have built one of the largest fuel networks and aim to soon be among the top three station operators in the country. Products and services bearing the ORLEN logo are increasingly appreciated here – customers value their quality and innovation. We will continue in this direction – soon Slovak drivers will be able to use our application to easily access ORLEN's offerings. We are also focusing on the development of electromobility and plan to launch hydrogen refueling stations – says Daniel Obajtek, CEO of ORLEN.

ORLEN Group has been operating in Slovakia since 2019 and is one of the fastest-growing fuel networks in this market, currently holding the fourth position. At the end of last year, the concern had 50 stations in Slovakia. This year, this number has increased to 90, partly due to the acquisition of 37 Slovnaft branded stations from MOL. The concern has just completed their rebranding, which means all stations in the network in Slovakia now operate under the ORLEN brand.

The number of Slovak drivers using ORLEN TANKKARTA Easy and Business is growing dynamically, which is why the concern has decided to implement a mobile application on the local market enabling the integration of ORLEN payment and loyalty cards. Drivers using the app will be able to collect points for fuel, services, and products purchased at ORLEN stations and exchange them for attractive rewards. The application, planned for launch later this year, will also offer a navigation system for quickly locating the nearest station in the network.

Electric vehicle chargers will also appear at Slovak ORLEN stations. By the end of 2030, charging points will be available at 40% of the concern's stations in the country. By that time, ORLEN will also launch 20 hydrogen refueling stations.

ORLEN is also developing its non-fuel sales in Slovakia. There are already 48 Stop.Cafe gastronomic points operating in the country. Further locations are being adapted to the 2.0 standard, which includes an expanded gastronomic offer. Eight locations will be modernized by the end of the year. New snack categories will also be introduced for sale at all points under the Stop.Cafe brand. Some of these will be produced in Poland.

The ORLEN Group's strategy until 2030 assumes that the concern's fuel station network will comprise 3,500 points. 45% of them will be located outside Poland. At the end of the second quarter of 2023, the number of ORLEN fuel stations was 3,157, of which 1,919 were in Poland and 1,238 in foreign markets: the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Germany, Slovakia, and Hungary. In July, the concern announced the acquisition of the Austrian fuel network Turmöl. Upon its finalization, ORLEN's station count will increase by 266, and the concern will conduct retail fuel sales in seven European markets.

The results of the 6th edition of the Strategic Investment Program for local governments that operated state agricultural farms are now known. 1,732 territorial self-government units (TSGUs and associations) have been granted funding for the implementation of 2,035 investments.

- It's clear the truth about the visa scandal has hurt – most of all, the one who should be investigating it. 250,000 visas on one hand, and less than zero on the other – though Prime Minister Miller was still generous in his assessment. On October 15th, Poles will choose the truth – wrote Tomasz Grodzki on Twitter.

Widać, że prawda o aferze wizowej zabolała - najbardzej tego, który powinien zajmować się jej wyjaśnianiem. 250 tysięcy wiz z jednej strony, a z drugiej mniej niż zero - choć premier Miller i tak był łaskawy w ocenie. 15 października Polacy wybiorą prawdę ✌️

- 
When we say that we will support women, that this is the most important matter for us, that we want to ensure they truly have equal opportunities, that the wages stipulated by law are indeed equal for women and men, when in Warsaw I am introducing a free nursery program, which – I hope – Civic Coalition (KO) will continue throughout Poland, it is so that girls, women, if they wish, can return to the labor market. When we clearly state that it is a woman who should decide about her life and health, it is because we simply listen to our women all the time. It is a woman who has to decide about her life and health – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Lublin.

- This is the Poland we will rally behind. A Poland that consistently looks towards the future, and in which no one attempts solely to divide and incite hatred against others (…) The final stretch lies ahead; let's not waste this chance, or we won't be able to look our children and grandchildren in the eye – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a meeting with Lublin residents.

- Our services last year picked up on a thread that could indicate a crime and followed it. The first arrests took place in March this year, followed by others. In short, the state acted as it should. And the entire scope of the matter is precisely a hundred and several dozen visas, a hundred and several dozen, I repeat, not hundreds of thousands, and we are reacting to it as a law-abiding state would. A state that recognizes the equality of citizens; where there was political responsibility, conclusions have been drawn – said Jarosław Kaczyński in Toruń.

- I repeat: there is no scandal, not even a minor one. It is simply a stupid and indeed criminal idea of some people, the vast majority of whom have nothing to do with the apparatus of power, or they have some distant connections that they tried to exploit. And whether this will go further, we don't know, but if we are talking about the highest representatives of power, meaning the president, marshals, deputy marshals, the prime minister, deputy prime ministers, the most important ministers, because these are the highest representatives of power, then with absolute certainty there is nothing. A lie, an impudent lie and such an exploitation of their advantage in the media - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Toruń.

- They are using this, they are using the fact that they managed to create something like a cult, a large group of people who completely disregard reality, do not notice reality, data, which is not our data, but data from various institutions that certainly do not favor our political option, like the World Bank, IMF, Eurostat, other organizations - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Toruń.

- We have a chance to avoid what will surely happen if Tusk comes to power. If Tusk comes to power, we will have to deal with Lampedusa in Poland - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Toruń.

- It's as if Tusk has tired himself out, and Warsaw's Mayor Trzaskowski is increasingly visible. These two gentlemen are somewhat different, and somewhat similar. They are similar in one thing – they have an innate aversion to work. And this is really not a good foundation for seeking high state offices – stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Toruń.

- All sorts of pretending, that even if it happens, I've already spoken about this in Elbląg, such rumours are circulating in Warsaw, at some point, probably around October 1st, one will be replaced by the other, meaning, just as Mrs. Kidawa-Błońska was replaced by Trzaskowski as a presidential candidate, this time he is supposed to replace Tusk as a candidate for prime minister. If you think this will be some kind of change, you are profoundly mistaken. It will be the same, just more of it - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Toruń.

- Tusk's program is Tusk. One day he's making crosses over bread, and the next day he calmly watches as Catholics need to be 'filed down' [a metaphor for curtailing their influence/rights]. One day it's about family, he even got married once after, I don't know, 74 years of marriage. Ha, ha, I'm joking here, of course, he's not that old, but after many years, decades of marriage, and at other times he's very anti-church, and in his 100 concrete points [a reference to Tusk's election promises], there are many elements attacking the Church. In short, he has no views, and the other one [Rafał Trzaskowski] is a lefty, who indeed seems to have it deep in his mind and perhaps even in his heart, and what he's doing in Warsaw points to this - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Toruń.

- Today, ladies and gentlemen, being a citizen means not only having rights, but of course also having obligations, but today these obligations have a special character. Because dear sirs and madams, we live today and elections will be held, meaning they will take place, in wartime. A regular, heavy war is raging beyond our border, and in such times, society must be consolidated (…) In such a situation, this consolidation is incredibly necessary, and what do we have from Tusk? Moreover, it's not a new phenomenon, it started back in 2005. Division, aggression, incredibly vulgar language, those eight stars. Denying a vast part of society, the majority of society, basic rights. It all started with those 'moher berets' – Jarosław Kaczyński said in Toruń.

- What would we have done if Orlen or other companies involved in energy or fuel production were in private hands? We would have faced gigantic prices. Much higher inflation. We would have faced one great misfortune. And thanks to the fact that it is now in state hands, at least for the most part, and often 100%, it was possible to act. It was possible to save ourselves, to carry out a series of pro-social actions. And despite this, these companies endured and remain in good shape - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Toruń.

- Amidst these political shocks, today we have this large, powerful crisis in the grain market, a crisis that we defended the Polish farmer from on April 15th of this year, by introducing an embargo on Ukrainian grain. We introduced it independently, without anyone else's input, and issued an ultimatum to the European Union: you must implement a ban on the import of Ukrainian grain. And they did so shortly after our decision, but they did it with a deadline of September 15th - said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the nationwide 'Grateful to Polish Countryside' festival in Miętne.

- Therefore, I can say today, here: [...] for over 12 hours, since midnight on September 16th, we have independently introduced this ban on the import of Ukrainian grain, regardless of the fact that the EU has not done so. We introduced it in accordance with our words. As I said a few days ago: either the EC extends the import ban, extends the embargo, or we ourselves will introduce an embargo for the coming months, for the coming quarters, until a model of cooperation with our eastern neighbor, Ukraine, is developed - he continued.

- When it was necessary, we opened our hearts, our homes to Ukrainian refugees, and we continue to do so. But when it is necessary to protect the Polish countryside, the Law and Justice (PiS) government does it and will continue to do so, because for us, the interest of the Polish farmer is paramount - he added.

- This is that dictator. But you won’t be shouting “Down with Kaczor, the dictator” - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- Today in Poland, they brazenly claim to be the main defenders. This is beyond all comprehension. Their entire campaign is based on one great, total lie. A lie where black is called white, and white is called black. It's truly some kind of sect, because they say all this, believing, and probably not entirely falsely believing, that a certain portion of people will accept it, that they will believe it. Because these are people now, through propaganda, through a certain television, through portals, completely detached from reality. They believe that it was we, and specifically I, who raised the retirement age. They believe that Poland is collapsing today, that everything will soon fall apart – stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- They will destroy this system, they will take everything, be sure of that. They will take it because they want to take it, because these are their interests, these are their connections, also because they are not sovereign. We are a party that does not have to listen to Moscow, Berlin, or even Brussels - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- For the sake of our future, for the sake of everything that should be dear to every Pole, and I believe it is dear to the vast majority of Poles despite everything, even those who are lost, we must win. That is why we must tell the undecided: perhaps you have grievances with us, perhaps we failed somewhere, but don't be deceived, because what was will return. What was also against you, don't be foolish; we weren't perfect either, but even when it comes to various kinds of mistakes, we were able to admit to them - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- Our program is broken down into points, at least 150, but you could just as easily say 300. However, one of them, as if, wasn't noticed – the abolition of immunities. We want to abolish immunities. Precisely in the name of this principle, equality, and honesty – stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- Do not believe him. This is another big lie. He is an extreme leftist who simply belongs to those who are destroying Polish identity, Polish culture. Moreover, they are destroying this beautiful European civilization, the most benevolent to humans in the history of the world. A civilization based on Christianity - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

- Our task is to ensure that these people do not come to power, so that this experiment, this successful experiment, can be continued. It must be continued in the interest of the entire nation, including those who are against us, because they also benefit from it, or at least a very significant portion of them. Only some belong to those who benefited from the old system. A system that, among other things, allowed for a huge sphere of abuse, a huge sphere of transferring what is common into private hands – said Jarosław Kaczyński in Poznań.

— Yesterday, the Speaker of the Senate, in an unprecedented manner, used the tool of a state address to attempt to lie to and mislead Poles. The ongoing election campaign does not absolve us politicians of responsibility, and above all, of decency. Lies cannot go unanswered — stated Elżbieta Witek in her address.

— I appeal to you, so that we do not fall for these dirty tricks. Donald Tusk wants to evade answering a simple question: Will he agree to any participation of Poland in the EU’s mandatory relocation mechanism for migrants? To escape this, he is already announcing that he will invalidate the referendum in which it is asked — emphasized the Marshal of the Sejm. Below is the full text of the speech.

*****

Yesterday, the Speaker of the Senate, in an unprecedented manner, used the tool of a state address to attempt to lie to and mislead Poles. The ongoing election campaign does not absolve us politicians of responsibility, and above all, of decency.

Lies cannot go unanswered.

The migration crisis has returned to Europe with doubled force. Illegal immigrants, most often young, able-bodied men, are storming the coasts of Italy, Greece, and other Mediterranean countries. They want to reach Western European Union countries because the EU, through its open-door policy – pursued by Chancellor Angela Merkel and implemented by Brussels bureaucracy, including Donald Tusk and his European party EPP – has encouraged them to do so. Just as it encouraged them with the proposal for mandatory relocation, which was undoubtedly an important cause of the new invasion of illegal immigrants into Europe.

As a result, a regular invasion of the island of Lampedusa is currently underway. Yesterday, I returned from a visit to Rome. I spoke with many politicians, and this matter is their top priority; there are no more important topics. Other EU countries, Germany, France, and Austria, are introducing border control procedures, fearing that the crisis will quickly spread to their countries as well.

What is the Polish opposition doing at this time? It is misleading Poles. It is feeding the public opinion with a matter blown up to immense proportions regarding the alleged issuance of work visas in violation of procedures. A clear explanation and correction of the opposition’s manipulation is needed here – it was the Polish state and its agencies that detected the danger of procedural violations. Despite the lack of formal charges against individuals potentially involved, swift and decisive consequences were drawn. The matter is being meticulously clarified; the state acted efficiently to cut off alleged irregularities. But these facts hold no significance for the opposition. To distract from the real problem, namely the invasion of illegal immigrants into Europe, the opposition and its allied media centers are unleashing a whole machinery of lies and hate against the government. It is shameful that a person with serious legal issues themselves is publicly speaking on this matter.

It is worth asking: why are they doing this? Donald Tusk is trying to distract attention from the fact that, hand in hand with the then-Chancellor of Germany, he was the architect of this dangerous policy, which allowed for the virtually uncontrolled entry of illegal immigrants. Donald Tusk spoke of penalties for Poland for refusing to agree to their forced relocation to our country. His party colleague, Ewa Kopacz, breaking the solidarity of the Visegrád Group countries, agreed to this mechanism, and her spokesperson assured that “we are ready to accept any number”.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk is nothing more than Lampedusa in Poland. If Tusk were ruling today, Polish women would not leave their homes after dark, and parents would be afraid to send their children alone to school or to the swimming pool. Cars would be set ablaze on Polish streets, and traveling by public transport would require considerable courage. Districts of fear would not be cinematic fiction, but the reality faced by cities in France or Sweden. This is the Poland they wanted. Today, before the elections, they are doing everything to push this issue into the background. They are creating media manipulations solely to divert attention from their past actions, as well as their future plans. Tusk’s return means chaos and danger for Poles. Such were his governments! We must not give him a second chance to repeat the same mistakes.

I appeal to you, so that we do not fall for these dirty tricks. Donald Tusk wants to evade answering a simple question: Will he agree to any participation of Poland in the EU’s mandatory relocation mechanism for migrants? To escape this, he is already announcing that he will invalidate the referendum in which it is asked.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let us not allow the voice and decisions of Poles on such a fundamental issue as security to be ignored. It is worth trusting those who are credible and keep their word. Those who, through their actions so far, have proven that they guarantee a secure future and that it will be Poles who decide what kind of Poland they want.
