Szrot:

Everything Holland Previously Presented in Her Films Has Been Reduced to Crude Propaganda Here

- From what I've heard, the argumentation used there is as elegant as a battle mace. Everything director Holland previously presented in her films has essentially been reduced to crude propaganda here – stated Paweł Szrot on the program 'Sygnały dnia' (Signals of the Day) on PR1.

Morawiecki in a clip: Tusk wanted half of Poland, millions of people, thousands of towns, left to the mercy of Russian criminals

Today, two riddles, the first – what is the name of the man who wanted half of Poland, millions of people, thousands of towns, left to the mercy of Russian criminals? Yes, it's Donald Tusk. What should the logo of his party look like after discovering the PO's plans? And this is not funny at all. Because they want to rule again. These are dangerous people. We cannot allow unpredictable politicians to return to power – says Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a clip published on social media.


07:39

Szrot on PO's Defense Policy on the Vistula Line: According to these plans, cities, towns, and villages in eastern Poland faced the fate of Bucha.

- According to these plans, the fate of cities, towns, and villages in eastern Poland (...) was the fate of Bucha. Meanwhile, I have recently spent a lot of time in beautiful Bydgoszcz, talking to its residents, and it must also be remembered that a front on the Vistula line means that cities like Bydgoszcz, where a very important bridgehead area was planned and the fiercest fighting was to take place, would have faced the fate of Bakhmut or Mariupol, meaning absolute destruction - stated Paweł Szrot on the program "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.


07:51

Szrot:

German Politicians Want to Participate in the Election Campaign in Poland, Indicating They Are Counting on an Opposition Victory
  • It can be said that this is already a certain political friendship between PiS and Meloni and her party – stated Paweł Szrot in the program "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.
  • The moral duty of every European country, including Germany, is to respect the sovereignty of other European countries. As a candidate, I can allow myself a bit more commentary now than before, and I will say this: just as German politicians previously wanted to participate in the election campaign in Italy, which ended with a clear victory for Ms. Meloni's party, a party that German and European politicians tried to combat, so now they want to participate in the election campaign in Poland, indicating that they are counting on an opposition victory – he added.

07:55

Morawiecki:

Our PiS Bus is Rolling to Show the Great Danger Posed by PO and Their 'Vistula Line' Defense Doctrine
The shape of Poland can literally be decided by the elections, the shape of Poland on the map. Today, our PiS bus is rolling out to make Poles and everyone living in Poland aware of the great danger posed by PO and their doctrine of defending Poland along the Vistula River. This isn't just about condemning over 10 million Poles to Russian captivity, which is essentially what it is. After all, if a Russian attack were to happen here, Poles would be condemned to experiences similar to those we've seen in Bucha, Irpin, Borodianka, and hundreds of other towns, up to the Vistula line. But let's not think this only concerns Eastern Poland - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Warsaw. - Someone might selfishly think: oh, I live 100 km west of the Vistula, so I'd be safe. Let's recall the situation in Ukraine today. The Russians have occupied eastern Ukraine and are attacking Lviv, Rivne, and many cities in western Ukraine because their forces, artillery, and missile systems are deployed closer to the western part of Ukraine. The same would be true for Poland; the same situation threatens all Poles. We cannot allow these irresponsible people back into power. I would even say unpredictable people. After all, this unpredictability lies precisely in the fact that we, Poles, cannot count on such a government - the head of the Polish government continued. - Therefore, today we will show all Poles how great a threat a return to power by Tusk, Trzaskowski, and those who wanted to abandon a vast part, a swathe of our country, to the mercy of the Russians would be - he added.

Morawiecki to Civic Platform Supporters: You Are Not Like What's Written on the Car, Next to Which a Civic Platform MP Was Distributing Leaflets

- Mass culture's heavy artillery is being deployed against them, Agnieszka Holland's film, which aims to slander, to show that all these soldiers, Border Guard officers, are actually primitives, brutes, dullards, degenerates, meaning all of us are portrayed through the eyes of Civic Platform, which supports Agnieszka Holland's film in this way. People, we simply must defend the good name of Poland. They are spitting in our faces - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Warsaw.

- I appeal to all Poles, absolutely, including Civic Platform supporters. You are not like what's written on the piece of paper seen on the car, from which one of the Civic Platform MPs was either getting out or at least distributing leaflets next to that car. On that piece of paper, it was written: "If you vote for PiS, then f*** off…", and below it was even worse. Such a piece of paper was on the car that was being driven around and Civic Platform leaflets were being distributed. Dear Civic Platform voters, esteemed compatriots, all esteemed ladies and gentlemen. Do we want to live in such a Poland? Look at that piece of paper, it's on the internet, this is the mentality of Civic Platform MPs - he continued.


08:07

Morawiecki:

Today's visit will focus on the Vistula River line. Russian missile sites could have been positioned here
- Pay attention to what Donald Tusk said recently, addressing the residents of Wielkopolska and Pomerania. He said something to the effect that these are different, better parts of Poland because they drew from Western culture. We know perfectly well that this part of Poland was under German occupation. Mr. Tusk, this was German occupation, partitions, the terrible World War II, this was German occupation, not being under the influence of Western culture - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said in Warsaw. - He himself accepts orders from German hands, orders named after those who were also politicians who hated Poland [...]. Donald Tusk accepted the order of Walter Rathenau, a Poland-hater, a terrible person towards Poles, someone exceptionally repulsive [...]. We want to show all of this to Poles, and the fabric, the basis of my visit today will be precisely the Vistula River line, because this Vistula River line is a symbol, it's not just the occupation of a part of the country, but precisely from here [...] Russian missile sites could have been positioned here and fired towards Poznań, towards Wrocław [...] and all the beautiful Polish cities - he continued.

08:08

Kosiniak-Kamysz on 800+: The Third Way's Stance is Unanimous – What Has Been Given Will Not Be Taken Away
- Family PIT does not preclude the continuation of a social program like 500+ or the indexing of 800+. Family PIT is about joint tax filing for children along with their parents. Today, only spouses can file jointly, which results in a lower tax. If we add one, two, or three children, this tax becomes lower for each subsequent child. From the third child onwards, large families, big families, those with the Large Family Card [...] effectively stop paying taxes - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. Kosiniak-Kamysz was asked about Szymon Hołownia's statement, who, when questioned about the abolition of 800+, stated on Radio ZET: We will see what the political climate will be for that. I believe we will have to seriously consider it and invest those funds in education, nurseries, and healthcare. - I think those were some considerations. The stance is unanimous: what has been given will not be taken away, and this is the stance not only of the Third Way but of the entire opposition - replied the leader of the Peasants' Party.

08:36

Civic Platform Presents Promo Spot for the March of a Million Hearts:

We've Had Enough of High Prices, Scandals, and Totalitarian State.
- We've had enough of high prices, we've had enough of scandals, we've had enough of a totalitarian state. We've had enough of corruption, cronyism, and theft. We've had enough of Bąkiewicz, Kowalski, and Mejza. We've had enough of Sasin, Obajtek, and Kaczyński. That's why everyone to the march. We are marching for freedom, for women's rights, for security - says the narrator in the spot published on PO's social media profiles. The March of a Million Hearts will begin on October 1st at 12:00 PM in Warsaw.

08:41

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

'Enough Fighting, Forward' – This is a Message No Major Party Can Generate
- After what has happened, including in the past week, after this wave of aggression, hate speech, hatred, and even physical attacks, such as on Borys Budka. The way the opposition is being incited today, and the Polish-Polish war within families – many people are coming with this. 'Enough fighting, forward' – I believe this is the message that none of the major formations are capable of generating, because, whether they want to or not, polarization works to their advantage – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the 'Piasecki's Conversation' on TVN24.

08:46

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

If there's an opposition government, Third Way Guarantees Normalcy, No Pendulum Swing Left or Right
- When a centrist party is missing… PiS government lacked normalcy, it doesn't have some kind of stabilizer. And if there's an opposition government, then the Third Way is a guarantor of normalcy, there will be no pendulum swing to the right, nor to the left, it will simply be normal – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

08:57

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

There's a voter outflow from Konfederacja. By clearly focusing on economic freedom and entrepreneurs, we are the only alternative.
- There's also a voter outflow from Konfederacja right now. And by very clearly focusing on economic freedom, on entrepreneurs, we are the only alternative. A voter leaving Konfederacja won't go to Lewica. If we weren't here, they'd have a big problem - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - We are in the center. Lewica is on the left flank of Platforma. That voter there is already very clearly defined. With us, there's the moderate voter, who might be leaving Konfederacja now, or is undecided, and they need a bridge, a grouping that gives them a safe passage to the other side - we are that bridge - he continued.

09:10

Ziobro on Gerald Brigfellner's Testimony: Old Hat, Shown by Wyborcza in Desperation Because PO is Losing Elections
- I read this text three years ago, I believe, in Gazeta Wyborcza and in "Der Onet", and this shows the embarrassment of these journalists and media outlets that write exactly the same thing and pretend they are writing something new – said Zbigniew Ziobro in "Graffiti" on Polsat News. - These are old hat stories that Wyborcza is presenting in desperation because the Civic Platform is losing elections, and this is about politics. The court examined the entire matter, and the District Court in Warsaw, which is not known for its favor towards the United Right government, upheld the prosecutor's decision to discontinue proceedings – he continued.

09:12

Przydacz:

It Should Be Ukraine That Cares About Poland's Support
The meeting did not take place in New York. The President has repeatedly spoken very critically about these words from Zelensky, and at the same time considers these actions to be unfair and hurtful to many Poles. It's not just about the President's state of mind, but simply about Poland and Poles. It is in the interest of all of us, and I think Ukrainians should also understand this, not to allow ourselves to be divided, because only a third party, Moscow, benefits from that – stated Marcin Przydacz in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM. No harm is done to one who is willing. If Ukraine does not care about being friends with Poland, if Ukraine does not want to seek this friendship, then we will manage, of course. As Poland, we are in NATO, we have a strong army, we are in the European Union, we have a fairly efficiently functioning state. It is Ukraine that is in trouble today, it should be Ukraine that cares about Poland supporting it. If not, then of course there will be no forcing anything here – he added.

09:12

Przydacz on Military Support for Ukraine: If It's in Poland's Interest to Continue This Support, We Will Continue It

- We will provide this military support as we deem it beneficial for Polish security. If it is in Poland's interest to continue this support, then we will continue it. However, if it turns out that this support does not help in any way, then, of course, we will analyze each specific decision – stated Marcin Przydacz on RMF FM.


09:13

Przydacz:

The German Chancellor's Comments Undoubtedly Aimed to Enter the Public Debate in Poland During the Campaign

- We perceive this as also an attempt to influence the political reality in Poland, which is, in fact, participation in the election campaign. The German Chancellor, with his comments, undoubtedly wanted to make his mark on the public debate in Poland during the campaign in this way. I think many of us know, and I can also say, many diplomats say directly, that the German side has its preference here when it comes to a specific political party - stated Marcin Przydacz on RMF FM.


09:15

Ziobro on Germany: They are not interested in facts. Scholz wants to support Tusk
- This is exceptional impudence from the German Chancellor. His predecessor, the former Chancellor of Germany, by breaking visa law, breaking European treaties, breaking the rules for admitting refugees or migrants, led to over 1.5 million, and even more, immigrants of unknown identity being brought into the EU. And he is not explaining himself for this, neither he nor Germany are explaining themselves. They are not apologizing; moreover, they now want us, as Poles, to accept a significant portion, a quota, of these immigrants, the worst kind, offenders, criminals, with whom they can no longer cope, as part of European solidarity – said Zbigniew Ziobro in Polsat News. - They are not interested in facts; they know the facts. They know that this is a micro-scale compared to what happened under Donald Tusk's government, not to mention what they themselves have done. This is about something else; Mr. Scholz wants to support Donald Tusk – he continued. - What does the scandal you are referring to concern? 268 cases of issuing visas to individuals whose identity was investigated and who were previously screened for security – he added.

09:17

Przydacz on Visas: It's Unlikely to Affect PiS's Election Results

- It is difficult for me to determine [whether the so-called visa scandal will affect PiS's election results]. I can see from the polls that it's unlikely, especially since we are dealing with a situation that has been terribly blown out of proportion by the opposition and some sympathetic media, - stated Marcin Przydacz on RMF FM.


09:31

Śliwka:

The Ukrainian President Will Have a Moment of Reflection

- These actions, this behaviour from Ukrainian politicians right now, is completely irrational when it comes to functioning in politics. I believe that the Ukrainian president will have a moment of reflection, and moreover, it can be heard on expert forums, among those who are also well-disposed towards Ukraine, that such behaviour towards Poland is a big mistake. I think that Prime Minister Morawiecki's words, stating that President Zelensky should never again insult Poles, are the best words that could have been said at this moment – stated Andrzej Śliwka in TVP1's "Kwadrans polityczny" (Political Quarter Hour).


09:34

Śliwka:

Tusk was Germany's Candidate for President of the European Council

- It's obvious that there are German politicians who support Donald Tusk; we've known this for a long time. Donald Tusk was Germany's candidate for President of the European Council; during Tusk's time, there was a strategy to defend the state along the Vistula River - stated Andrzej Śliwka on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour".


10:03

Śliwka:

Tusk Recently Said Something Disgraceful

Donald Tusk recently said something disgraceful, scandalous, showing what kind of politician he really is. One who divides Poles based on their place of residence and social status. This is scandalous, and I am glad that on October 15th, Poles will finally be able to give this politician a red card," stated Andrzej Śliwka in the "Political Quarter of an Hour" on TVP1.

"We Take Climate and Environmental Policy Very Seriously." The Left Signs "100-Day Manifesto"
- Climate policy in Poland simply does not exist. Everyone who starts talking about climate policy usually ends up talking about refugee policy, scaring people that they will take away their cars, that they will take away various assets. But in reality, this is a huge problem, and we will not escape it. […] If anyone thinks that at some point a major migration policy and large-scale migrations will not arrive, they are also mistaken. All of this can be predicted, all of this is scientifically proven, and to the climate sensationalists who think nothing is happening with the climate, I say "stop" - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference in Bolimowski Landscape Park. - Poland truly has a lot to do in this matter. Without emotions, nerves, scaremongering, insults. Biomethane plants, all photovoltaics, all renewable energy sources, securing homes against heat loss, the entire policy regarding the education of the young generation, food policy – food policy doesn't mean we will ban anything to anyone, but it will involve education - he continued. - As the Left, we will be signing the 100-day manifesto today [a document developed by the Climate Coalition - ed.]. But if you allow us, we will approach all these climate-related issues calmly and with distance. We will vigorously advocate in the future for all money coming from CO2 emission allowances to be invested in energy transmission networks. So far, no one knows where these millions of euros have gone and how they have been spent - continued the co-chairperson of New Left. - This manifesto was created by 80 social organizations, as well as scientists. It was they who approached all political parties with a request to support this manifesto. This manifesto is our declaration that we take climate and environmental policy very seriously - declared Anita Sowińska.

12:59

Morawiecki:

Let's Imagine Tusk and Civic Platform, Those Who Dismantled the Polish Army, Were in Power Today

- Let's imagine that today the reins of government are held by Tusk and Civic Platform, those who dismantled the Polish army, those who liquidated military units, who deconstructed individual organizational units. I will say something shortly that I learned about this unit, but in reality, it requires deep reflection from all our compatriots, so that everyone realizes the immense risk our homeland faced in the face of that team - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during a visit to the Air Force Academy in Dęblin.


- Here in Dęblin, in the school of eagles, an eagle's nest, as we heard just now, it was here that our best pilots were trained, from the wonderful school in Dęblin, those who joined the ranks of the 303rd Squadron. This is our pride, this is the place where our pilots are trained also for the future operation of aircraft such as the F-35. The most modern American fighter jets, which we will have very soon, which we will have in a quite substantial number not long from now - he added.

Bochenek and Müller at KO MPs' Conference: 'You talk about envelopes, but envelopes are the symbol of PO's power'

Outside the PiS headquarters at ul. Nowogrodzka, KO politicians Robert Kropiwnicki and Arkadiusz Myrcha held a press conference regarding recent reports from "Gazeta Wyborcza".

- Today's "Gazeta Wyborcza" reveals materials from interrogations that were prepared in connection with Jarosław Kaczyński's report and accusation of bribery. [...] I would like to remind you that this case has not yet been properly explained. This matter was turned into a political circus; the whole of Poland watched as a politicized prosecution twisted and turned to prevent Jarosław Kaczyński from being questioned in this case. [...] Just as in the case of the large, gigantic visa scandal, in this case too, we expect explanations from Jarosław Kaczyński - said Arkadiusz Myrcha.

- I appeal to Zbigniew Ziobro to confirm, [...] whether these testimonies are true, to reveal the investigation materials. He has such powers, and if he wants to, Mr. Ziobro reveals various materials from many investigations. But in this case, he seems to be holding his tongue. Let him show what is in those files, let him show whether witnesses testified that Kaczyński took that envelope - added Robert Kropiwnicki.

During the opposition MPs' speech, government spokesperson Piotr Müller and PiS spokesperson Rafał Bochenek placed boards with likenesses of Sławomir Nowak and Włodzimierz Karpiński behind them. When Myrcha and Kropiwnicki finished answering media questions, the ruling party politicians took their place at the microphones.

- Here, gentlemen are talking about envelopes, but envelopes are precisely the symbol of PO's power. I thank you for showing it, I don't know if you borrowed it from Mr. Grodzki… You look great together - stated Bochenek, referring to the envelope held by Myrcha with the inscription '50 thousand #KopertaKaczyńskiego' (Kaczyński's Envelope).

- Today, these gentlemen dare to cover up, because it is their great shame, PO's shame, the matters that are currently being heard in court regarding their colleagues, concerning Mr. Sławek Nowak, Mr. Karpiński […]. Mr. Grodzki – also many proceedings, many accusations appear in the media […], while Mr. Grodzki tenaciously clings to his immunity […]. If he has nothing on his conscience, why doesn't he stand before the court and explain all these media accusations that are appearing against him in the context of widespread corruption? - he asked.

- There is, for example, Mr. Gawłowski's case, there are Mr. Giertych's cases. All these cases are being conducted by various institutions, the prosecution, there are attempts to explain them, whereas these gentlemen are fleeing from this justice system - he added.


13:56

Poncyljusz:

The Barrier Kamiński and Wąsik Bought Doesn't Work
- Regarding the Scholz-Rau exchange of words. Last night here in the hotel, I was watching one of the German-language television channels, I think it was German. One of the news topics was visas. This is not just an issue for political elites; it's evident that it also translates into social perception. If the Law and Justice government, and in reality Minister Wąsik and Minister Kamiński, build a barrier for PLN 1.5 billion without any tenders, they are effectively choosing what they want and focusing on construction companies rather than real border security methods, such as perimeter security - stated Paweł Poncyljusz in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on the program “Sedno sprawy” on Radio Plus. - Today, a tender has been announced again, where experience in construction is more important than whether someone knows about perimeter systems, i.e., an electronic barrier. The cameras are missing, that's the problem. This electronic barrier that Kamiński and Wąsik bought doesn't work, and that's why they now quietly want to replace it with a new system, but again, they are setting conditions regarding experience in construction works, not conditions about a company's experience in this type of system; that's the treachery of this authority. It claims to be building a barrier that will be effective, while Germany catches dozens to a thousand people weekly on its border who crossed the Polish-Belarusian border - he added.

14:01

Poncyljusz:

Poles Need a Clear Signal Today That There Are Certain Privileges for Polish Families
- I think there's a time when those who fled the war or have settled in Poland and decided to live here permanently, meaning to work, stabilize their lives, and stay with us for many years, because it's time for those who want to go somewhere else, or return to Ukraine [...]. It's primarily about revising, meaning 500+ is aimed at surrounding with help and supporting families with children, Polish children. This aid was also temporarily granted to Ukraine, but if Ukrainian citizens decide that they will live here, they will work here, then there is no problem if they also receive permanent residency cards, and possibly apply for citizenship, then they will enter the same modes as any other citizen - stated Paweł Poncyljusz on Radio Plus. - I think Poles need a clear signal today that there are certain privileges for Polish families, there were privileges for Ukrainian families, so that they could settle here, but if they want to stay here, they must at this moment make their decisions about what their residency status should look like, and from that will arise privileges for them if they want to apply for citizenship - he added.

14:03

Czarzasty to Kaczyński: Your Brother Brought Poland into the Schengen Area; You're on the Fastest Track to Expel Poland from It
- Mr. Minister [Zbigniew Rau], it was your people who brought about this visa crisis. Your people, those associated with you, led to the situation where, despite, for example, the wall on the Polish-Belarusian border, behind that wall, someone who couldn't cross it would buy a visa for 1500 euros. You knew about this because during COVID, you prepared a package of laws and legislative entries regarding the possibility of obtaining these visas in a very broad scope. You acted hypocritically in this matter – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in Łódź. - You shouldn't be commenting on the Chancellor or any other nation's leader at all, because you should resign – he continued. - I wanted to say to Mr. Jarosław Kaczyński: Your brother brought Poland into the Schengen area. We are on the fastest track to you expelling Poland from this area. I warn you against such a decision, I warn you against such an action – he added.

14:07

Czarzasty:

Poland's Withdrawal from Schengen? With this foreign policy and this government, anything can happen
- Not so long ago, Polish foreign policy was conducted in a rational and wise manner. Currently, virtually all countries with whom we have conflicts are winning those conflicts. At present, Ukraine is becoming a country with whom we are fighting. The EU is becoming a structure to which we have more and more reservations, and it has more and more reservations regarding us. This is the situation that is currently taking place – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in Łódź. - Could borders be closed, could Poland withdraw from Schengen? In principle, it shouldn't. But with this Minister of Foreign Affairs, with this foreign policy, with Mr. Prime Minister Morawiecki, with Mr. President Duda, and with their ultimate boss Kaczyński, anything can happen - he continued.

14:49

Morawiecki:

Discussed Additional Price Stabilization Programs with Minister of Agriculture, Including Subsidies for Pig Stock Rebuilding

- In this complicated situation, regardless of what different powers in the world demand of us, you asked me here just now what the EU thinks about this. Someone asked that. So I said that perhaps the EU may not like it, but if it benefits Polish farmers, then we are implementing certain regulations, which in this case is the ban on the import of Ukrainian corn, Ukrainian grains, as well as Ukrainian meal, which has destabilized the market and will no longer destabilize it, contributing to market volatility. I presented such a very clear demand to the European Commission, it was sent in a letter several months ago. Then there were many dialogues, conversations, but unfortunately the answer was very sluggish. And because such an answer came, we did not ask Brussels, but we implemented the appropriate regulations ourselves a few days ago in order to protect Polish farmers from even greater market destabilization, because the market is already very difficult - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Dęby.

- Yesterday, the day before yesterday, I spoke with the Minister of Agriculture about special, additional price stabilization programs, as well as subsidies in the context of rebuilding the pig stock. The Minister of Agriculture will speak about this soon, because this program has already been approved, and funds for it will also be allocated in the Polish state budget - he continued.


14:49

Morawiecki:

Our Payouts for Farmers Affected by Droughts - PLN 2.5 Billion. During Our Predecessors' Time - PLN 450 Million
But dear farmers, all across Poland, wherever you are, look at the last few years. A gigantic rollercoaster worldwide, first COVID, which attacked many states quite unexpectedly, led to enormous economic losses. We stood with entrepreneurs, with farmers then, all entrepreneurs who wanted to save jobs received funds from us, but also earlier, drought in 2018, 2019 - we were also with the farmers. Our payouts to farmers then, I don't know if precisely here, in Puławy county, it was also affected by those droughts, but the payouts across Poland amounted to PLN 2.5 billion. Let's compare that with a comparable drought a few years earlier, the payouts during our predecessors' time. PLN 450 million. PLN 2.5 billion, PLN 450 million – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Dęby. Compare how the Civic Platform behaved, when there was a crisis 10 years ago, they boasted that even though an entrepreneur, including in agriculture, called for help, they prided themselves on there being no intervention, that they were impervious to the dramatic pleas from entrepreneurs. That's what Tusk's right-hand man, Mr. Lewandowski, said – he added.

14:51

Morawiecki:

We Never Leave Farmers Alone

- We never leave farmers alone. It is difficult today, I am perfectly aware of that, and we also made mistakes, we also erred. There is no going back to those mistakes, there is no possibility that we will return to what we have already closed. As a party, we want and will act for the Polish countryside, for the strengthening of Polish agriculture - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Dęby.

Third Way: We See in Polls That for 1/5 of PiS Voters, the Third Way Could Be a Second Choice
- In the surveys we conduct, we see that one-fifth of today's PiS voters are people who say the Third Way could be their second choice. This is an enormous responsibility that rests on us today, to expand this camp of real hope, - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference. - On this opposition side, there is a truly very interesting choice. We are going our own way, a third way, which leads to normality, to solving problems, not creating them, - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

Hołownia:

Those Who Said They Wouldn't Let Anyone In Have Led to Someone Not Wanting to Let Poles In Elsewhere
- If migrants are arriving in Germany who most likely passed through Poland, it is obvious that the German Chancellor can comment on this matter, and I understand that his voters expect it from him. Voters, on the other hand, expect clear information from the Polish government as to why this is happening – that through the territory of the Republic of Poland, which was supposed to be protected by a barrier, by Polish uniforms, by our common effort, and for which we all made significant sacrifices, sometimes with very serious pangs of conscience, this territory is nonetheless not protected – Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference. - Today, those who said [...] that they would ensure that no one would be let in here, have led to a situation where someone does not want to let Poles into other countries, or some forms of harassment and difficulties in the form of border controls are arising. This is the absurdity they have brought about – he continued.

Sasin:

Building a Cohesive Poland

- We are building a cohesive Poland. Large infrastructure investments are being supplemented by local investments. These are also an element of the region's development, serving people and raising the standard of living for its residents - said Jacek Sasin in Białystok.

Hołownia:

Kaczyński is Above the Law and Justice. A One-Man Chief and Owner of the State
- Jarosław Kaczyński is above the law and above justice in the Republic that his followers and henchmen have built. He is a man who has granted himself the status of an über-citizen. He is a man who is the chief, or so he believes, of the prosecution, judges, all branches of power, both legislative and executive, the tribunals, everything. He is a one-man chief and owner of the state. How can he possibly appear before some official? Even if the prosecution were to want to summon him, Zbigniew Ziobro would immediately show up and order the prosecutor to ask Mr. Kaczyński questions about why he is so crystal clear, honest, handsome, wise, and why he is so terribly accused by these terrible people, and whether he suffers because of it – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

15:05

Trzaskowski:

If the opposition doesn't win the elections in two weeks, PiS will continue its trend of destroying local government

- We know very well that one of the conditions for Poland's success, for the good development of our homeland, is simply strong local governments. Even if I am not running in these elections, as I am not, we know that these elections will be absolutely crucial for local government. Unfortunately, PiS fights with local government officials and with local governments, primarily by trying to limit their prerogatives, by taking away our money. They have particularly taken a liking to Warsaw in this regard. I would remind you that over the last few years, almost 9 billion zlotys have vanished from the budget of the capital city of Warsaw. This also shows that PiS treats local governments purely politically. They try to distribute money using political criteria - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press briefing.

- We know well that if the opposition does not win the elections in two weeks, PiS will continue this trend of destroying local government. That is why our voice, the voice of local government officials, those who are on the opposition's lists, or those who are active in these elections, is to encourage people, above all, to participate in these elections - he added.

Müller on Strengthening Border Controls with Slovakia: "We are Analyzing. We are primarily talking about Slovakia, but we also do not exclude the option of strengthening the border with Germany."

- Indeed, for some time now, we have been receiving information that groups of immigrants are moving along the so-called Balkan route, including through Slovakia, who later end up in Germany, among other places. They treat Slovakia and Poland simply as a transit point, and therefore, when we received this information, we began to verify it. Currently, we are facing the decision of whether to actually take additional protective measures on the Polish-Slovak border, but not only that, because let's remember that this is one direction. On the other hand, we are also investigating and analyzing what the potential direction might look like regarding immigration from Lampedusa, as we know very well that the French have also taken additional steps to secure their borders in terms of movement from the territory of Italy - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Polsat News.

- We are currently analyzing these two things and are indeed considering tightening controls in this area, taking steps that will secure these routes. The decision has not [yet been made 100%], because we want to do it in agreement with or by using diplomatic channels with our partners. We do not want to surprise them with this decision - he continued.

- We are primarily talking about Slovakia here, but we also do not rule out the option of strengthening the border with Germany - emphasized the government spokesperson.


16:14

Müller on Civic Platform: Lacking Their Own Ideas, They Even Steal Electoral Slogans

- Donald Tusk has already done many bad things, but in the end, he even decided to simply steal a slogan. They didn't even have their own electoral program for many months, so now, lacking their own ideas, they even steal electoral slogans - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Polsat News.


16:30

Morawiecki in Skoków: "When I visit places like this, I'm convinced huge opportunities were wasted."

- When I visit schools like this one here in Skoków, in the Opole Lubelskie municipality, I know that things are moving in a better direction, but when I think about how things went for towns, small towns, and villages like Opole Lubelskie, like Kraśnik, like Puławy, like many other places we visit along the way, I am convinced that huge opportunities were wasted - stated Mateusz Morawiecki in Skoków.

- I will give two examples that I heard from the mayor, who is the host of this place. Out of 18 village community centers here in the municipality, 10 are being renovated, insulated, and rebuilt so they can be used year-round (...) And the second example is roads. I just learned a moment ago that in the Opole Lubelskie municipality, over the last 5 years, approximately 60 km of municipal and district roads have been renovated, built, or modernized. 60 km, whereas, over 20 years, as I understand it, 10 km. So you have a comparison: 20 years of our predecessors, 10 km renovated and built, now it's about 60 km in 5 years - he continued.


16:31

Morawiecki:

Perhaps the Only Government in World History, PO's Government, that Meticulously Planned How to Lose a War
- Dear residents of Skokowo, as well as Opole Lubelskie and all the beautiful towns and villages in the Lublin region, first and foremost, we must ensure security, and according to the doctrine of our predecessors, this security was not meant to be here, because Poland was to be bisected by the Vistula River line. In reality, Stalin pushed it back to the Bug River line, the so-called Curzon Line, and Tusk wanted to create a Vistula line here. This is perhaps the only government in world history, the Civic Platform government, that meticulously planned how to lose a war. It meticulously planned its capitulation. I am not aware of any other examples from world history, and I have read quite a bit in this regard, but the Civic Platform government can outdo everyone - stated Mateusz Morawiecki in Skokowo. - Let's remember that the economic model proposed by our opponents and predecessors, Tusk's model, was the development of only large agglomerations, and we also allocate large sums from the central budget there. For Warsaw, over 3 billion PLN. We don't forget about them, but when you compare the funds allocated for investments like this one in Polish local districts and municipalities, it's simply night and day. There is no comparison; what is happening here is genuinely changing people's lives for the better, and I hear about it on my route here on the eastern side of the Vistula. The eastern side, which we will never surrender to our enemy. We will fight for every part of our land, starting from the first centimeter of our eastern border. This is the essence of our policy: security, and then development, so that jobs are created precisely here, in such towns - he added.

16:32

Morawiecki:

Tusk - the Biggest Slacker of the Republic

- Donald Tusk said about people who take the 500+ benefit something along the lines that they haven't disgraced themselves by working. And who said this? It was said by someone who is a symbol of laziness and idleness in Warsaw. Tusk, the biggest slacker of the Republic. He worked three and a half days when he was prime minister, those were the weeks. I see it very clearly in the papers. This slacker is going to lecture others, give it a rest - stated Mateusz Morawiecki in Skokowo.


17:43

Tusk on the Rulers: "They've Already Taken Europe From Us, and We Can Get It Back on October 15th"
- My generation, at the time when Poland was regaining its independence and Polish women and men were fighting for freedom, one of those dreams was Poland's return to the great community of the West, to that great civilization, of which we as a nation are co-creators, which we were deprived of by ill fate and bad history, and to which civilization we returned with full rights. Today, we are in the European Union. I want to tell you, and I say this very seriously, this is not about some rally, about some propaganda. We are at a turning point today. I wish that what is happening these weeks and these days would reach all Polish women and men - said Donald Tusk in Otwock. - We wanted to be in Europe because there was a lot of money for Poland's development there, because it was a great, wonderful continent of free people without borders, where everyone could travel without any checks as much as they wanted. Because it was a continent ruled by law, not by some cruel truth. I want to tell you that today, three weeks before the elections, Poland's fate in this part of the world is being decided again. After all, if you think about it, what the rulers have prepared for us, what this government has prepared for us, formally we are still in the European Union, but they have deprived us of money from the European Union, and soon they can close our borders, PiS can close our borders, and we will be closed off, isolated, and alone again. They have deprived us of rights, independent courts, this type of government that is accountable to people, not ruling people. In effect, they have already taken Europe from us, and on October 15th, we can get it back [...] and it is in your hands. Let's not allow them to turn history back to its saddest pages - he continued. - Please, I am ready to beg you for anything. Let's not leave this fate in their hands, because we will all be either winners of these elections or victims of this defeat. Really, what you have in your hearts today, on October 15th, you must have on your ballot papers - he added.

17:49

Morawiecki to Zelensky: Do Not Dare Offend Poles
- The words I am directing to President Zelensky, who has recently made quite unnecessary gestures and uttered completely inappropriate words. Mr. President, do not dare to offend Poles. Poles are a proud nation, they know when to help their neighbors and we are helping our neighbors against this bestial Russian aggression, but we will always defend our interests and our good name. Poland is a wonderful country, a proud country - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik.

17:51

Morawiecki:

PO Coos with Delight over Holland's Film. I Saw Significant Portions and Don't Wish This Upon You
- Recently, we have been witnessing a particularly sad event in the sphere of culture, although what I will dedicate a few moments to now is anti-culture and propaganda worthy of the worst examples, for instance, Urban, who incited the death of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko. I am referring to this libel, this disgusting, repulsive portrayal of Poland, the Polish uniform, Polish soldiers, and Border Guard officers presented by Ms. Holland – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik. - The elites of the Third Polish Republic, Civic Platform (PO), are cooing with delight over this film. And what is in this film? I have seen significant portions of it, and I do not wish for you to have to watch it – he continued.

17:55

Morawiecki:

Holland, Tusk, "GW", and TVN Are Pseudo-Elites. True Elites Act for the Good of the Country
- It's a waste not only of time [watching the film "Green Border"], but a waste of nerves, a waste of tears, to see how pathological the pseudo-elites of the Third Polish Republic can be. Because Ms. Holland with Mr. Tusk under her arm, along with "Gazeta Wyborcza" and TVN, are pseudo-elites, because true elites act for the good of the country, they care about Poland's good name around the world - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik.

17:55

Trzaskowski:

They will lose these elections because you can't win solely on negative emotions. PiS's campaign lacks any positive element.
- Why can't we try to have a normal conversation about the future, simply use arguments? I am deeply convinced, ladies and gentlemen, that they will lose these elections precisely because you cannot win elections solely on negative emotions – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Otwock. - Today I urge everyone to think about what is truly most important. Do you want a normal conversation, or do you want shouting? Do you want a conversation about the future, or do you want to talk to people who only look backward and have absolutely nothing to offer? In the campaign that PiS is currently running, there is no positive element whatsoever – he continued.

18:02

Morawiecki:

Through this film, they are defaming our nation's good name. Let's not allow it. Do you remember our fathers' song, 'The German will not spit in our face'?
- Our soldiers are presented as sadists, scoundrels, degenerates, murderers. Does this compute for you? How can they, how can these pseudo-elites, how can this Tusk speak about something like this, or not distance himself from it […]. People, wake up, dear compatriots. They are spitting in all of our faces, through this film they are slandering the good name of our ancestors, they are defiling the good name of our nation. Let's not allow it. Do you remember our fathers' song: 'The German will not spit in our face'? - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik.

18:05

Trzaskowski:

You Must Go to the Polls So No One Attacks Kids with Rainbow Bags, So Children Don't Have to Watch Their Mothers Being Pushed
- If you ask me if it's worth taking part in these elections, if we seriously think about our children, if we seriously think about our grandchildren, then they should never have to look at these kinds of scenes. No daughter should see someone hitting her mother on television cameras just because the mother went to demand her rights. And if you ask if it's worth it, then it is worth it precisely for those children who look at their mothers being pushed or insulted, and then ridiculed by the so-called public television, so that they never have to watch this. So that kids walking the streets of Otwock, Warsaw, or any other city with a bag featuring rainbow colors are not attacked. That's why you must go to the polls. So that children with disabilities don't have to watch their mothers being pushed. So that kids carrying European flags aren't called Germans or traitors - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Otwock.

18:08

Tusk:

Watching TVP Info Daily Is an Insult to Your Intelligence; How Much This Government Must Despise Its Voters to Feed Them Such Lies
- Kaczyński and PiS today are not afraid of Civic Platform, not of Civic Coalition, not of Rafał Trzaskowski, and not of Donald Tusk. They are afraid of you, they are afraid of the truth, they are afraid of an open exchange of ideas, and it seems to me that even those who today are wondering whether to go to the polls, who to vote for, and among them also PiS voters. After all, everyone, because this is a matter of your dignity, your intelligence. Because, listen, if someone watches only TVP Info every day, it's as if someone is insulting their intelligence and their dignity every day. Think about it seriously, how much must this government despise its voters if it feeds them such lies, excuse me for that word, from morning till evening. They really think that people are ready to buy the biggest nonsense, such the biggest portion of contempt – stated Donald Tusk in Otwock.

18:08

Morawiecki on Civic Platform: Can You Vote for a Party That Doesn't Disavow This Terrible Portrayal? No, a Pole Cannot Act This Way
- These elections, which are less than 3 weeks away, are precisely about this – whether we will allow ourselves to be spat in the face. Will we allow our good name to be destroyed, or will what has many times in history risen within us […], our pride, come to the fore, and on October 15th, even those who hesitate on who to vote for will think: no, I will not vote for Civic Platform because they have not disavowed this film ["Green Border"] - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik. - Moreover, Civic Platform elites are praising this film. And then, dear compatriots, think about this – can you vote for such a party that does not disavow this terrible portrayal? No, a Pole cannot act this way, as long as they do not completely distance themselves from this false message - he emphasized.

18:14

Morawiecki:

Lampedusa is Poland's future if PO ruled
- We don't want to see scenes like those in Lampedusa, and Lampedusa threatens all of Poland. Lampedusa is Poland's future if the Civic Platform ruled. Lampedusa and what is happening on that island shows what would happen if they won the elections - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik.

18:17

Tusk:

Kaczyński Should Be Recruited for the National Relay Race, as I Haven't Seen Anyone Who So Quickly and Persistently Evades an Opponent or Debate
- I have the impression that Jarosław Kaczyński should be recruited for the national relay race, I don't know, 4 x 400 meters, because I haven't seen a guy who so quickly and so persistently evades an opponent, evades a debate, he really has stamina [...]. You know why he's afraid of debating me. Not because I have those proverbial wolf eyes, but because if there were a debate, people, including those who are today condemned to TVP Info propaganda, would suddenly see the strength of arguments from both sides - said Donald Tusk in Otwock.

18:20

Morawiecki:

I've instructed the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration to introduce checks on the Polish-Slovak border
- If there's talk now of illegal immigrants crossing over, then for your information [...], illegal immigrants travel along the so-called Balkan route - through Hungary, Slovakia, because there's no border between Poland and Slovakia, right? It's the Schengen border, we don't control it. But I have instructed the Minister of Interior and Administration to introduce checks there for those minibuses, buses, cars, and coaches which could be suspected of transporting illegal immigrants. So that no one can accuse us of that border being porous either - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik.

18:22

Tusk:

We want to win these elections not for revenge, but so everyone feels at home again
- I always repeat this to everyone, I know how many emotions there are. You know what people feel, but I say: listen, we are winning these elections not for revenge. We want to win these elections so that everyone feels at home again. We will hold accountable those who stole, without a shadow of a doubt, whoever broke the law, whoever broke the Constitution, whoever stole your money and your dreams, they will answer for it without discussion – said Donald Tusk in Otwock. - Yes, we will do everything to repair these wrongs, and the finale must also be our reconciliation, our victory, accountability, repairing wrongs in the end is so that we can reconcile as a national community, so that looking at the white and red flag, at these white and red hearts, we see the same colors, the same future – he added.

18:25

Morawiecki to Scholz: Don't Meddle in Polish Affairs
- Recently, the German Chancellor said something about the Schengen border, so I want to say to him: firstly, that he should not meddle in Polish affairs. Secondly, I want to say that either you, Olaf, were poorly informed by your people, or you are playing, perhaps unconsciously, if I still have any hope, in the orchestra of Civic Platform, which is inflating this artificial balloon - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik. - Imagine such a large balloon of Tusk here in front of me, and there it bursts and the number 250 remains, because these irregularities concern 250 visas. That's probably not what you're after, Mr. Chancellor, 250 visas, right? Check if your borders are sealed, from Austria, from other directions - he added.

18:27

Morawiecki:

The Real Risk of Temporarily Closing the Schengen Border is When PO Wins
- The real risk of temporarily closing the Schengen border arises when the Civic Platform wins, because then illegal immigration, illegal immigrants, will flood in here, one wave after another, by the tens of thousands, just as the Platform was preparing Poland previously - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik.

18:39

Trzaskowski:

Have They Ever Considered What It Means to Be Pregnant and Then Face the Reality of a Threatened Pregnancy, When One Trembles for the Lives of Mother and Child?
- I thought to myself whether I would want to entrust the fate of Poland, my beloved country, to someone who struggles with these fundamental dilemmas, someone who has pondered what it means not to be able to have children, how much struggle needs to be put into it, and that is why we propose that in vitro fertilization be financed from the state budget - said Rafał Trzaskowski in Otwock. - I wondered if someone can make decisions about our health and lives if they have never faced the most difficult dilemmas in their life. Do they have any idea, have they ever considered what it means to wait for a child, then to become pregnant, and then to face such a reality when the pregnancy is threatened, when one trembles for the life of the mother and child, and not just the woman, her partner, her husband too? Have they been in such a situation, are they able to imagine something like that? - he continued.

18:41

Morawiecki:

Defending on the Vistula Line is Tusk's Betrayal Line
- Documents have been presented. It is their decision to defend Poland on the Vistula line. This is a disgrace, this is a betrayal of Poland's raison d'état, this is treachery towards all people who lived, live here [...] in all the beautiful cities and towns of the Lublin region - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik. - This is a betrayal of them. Therefore, defending on the Vistula line is Tusk's betrayal line. [...] This betrayal line of Tusk must be remembered by all Poles. Because Russian garrisons could have been here, if they were to defend Poland against the Russians - he emphasized. - Poland's border will be safe as long as our government and the Polish Army defend this border. The PiS government, there on the holy Polish border, and not on Tusk's betrayal line - he added.

18:43

Tusk:

Jarosław, everyone here stands "shoulder to shoulder for the uniform," not for your suit, so that gets through to you
- So much emotion surrounding the Polish uniform again. In recent days, PiS has once again invented another domestic war over the uniform. Jarosław, everyone here stands "shoulder to shoulder for the uniform," not for your suit, so that gets through to you – Donald Tusk said in Otwock.

18:48

Tusk:

Błaszczak Likes to Dress Up in Uniforms, Morawiecki Parades Like a Slightly Aged Scout, Also in Uniforms
- A minister who, when a terrible mistake was made with the Russian missile that fell on Poland, hurled the heaviest accusations at Polish generals, despite being responsible himself from beginning to end for the political decision not to search for that missile, does not respect the Polish uniform, does not respect the Polish army. Minister Błaszczak likes to dress up in these uniforms, Prime Minister Morawiecki parades like a slightly aged scout, also in uniforms. They have nothing to do with uniforms, they are incapable of taking any responsibility for their decisions. And if a critical situation arises, they are ready to shift all responsibility onto a Polish officer, a Polish general. Because they are cowards who have nothing to do with honest, competent, civilian oversight of the Polish armed forces, of the army – stated Donald Tusk in Otwock.

18:59

Morawiecki:

For the First Time in 200 Years, Poles are Massively Returning from Emigration Under PiS Rule
- Eight years ago, we promised a good change, we implemented our new social policy, a policy of equalizing opportunities for cities like Kraśnik and all other cities in Lubelszczyzna, Podkarpacie, and Mazowsze. A policy of dignity, the dignity of working people, new jobs, and higher salaries. That was eight years ago. Then, four years ago, we presented a vision for Poland's development, one that catches up with the wealthiest, to which Poles will return from emigration. And this is happening – for the first time in 200 years, Poles are massively returning from emigration, under the rule of PiS - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik.

19:04

Tusk:

"At Least Several Hundred Suspected Terrorists Entered Europe on Polish Visas, According to Our Allies"
- Don't be fooled. Don't let them convince you. Today, Kaczyński is travelling around Poland and blatantly lying, saying there is no visa scandal, that it's not even a small scandal. Listen, they themselves arrested some people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a deputy minister is trying to commit suicide or pretending to commit suicide, the police and CBA are guarding him in the hospital so he doesn't spill the beans, because you know, if he told the truth, you know what would be revealed. We ourselves are receiving documents from them which indicate that we are talking about hundreds of thousands of migrants admitted by PiS, sometimes for money, and they are now travelling around Poland saying this is some kind of fabrication. In the end, who will they blame? Tusk, the Germans, that our borders will be closed - said Donald Tusk in Otwock. - I have direct knowledge that our NATO allies have sent signals and are very concerned that migrants with Polish visas are even on the Mexican-American border. They can be found all over the world today. And nobody knows, and our allies have already pointed this out, that in their assessment, at least several hundred people suspected of terrorism or attempted terrorist attacks have entered Europe on Polish visas. This is the truth about PiS, this is the truth about how they treat the Polish uniform - he continued.

19:15

Tusk:

Kaczyński is a great strategist, first he gave all his tanks to the neighbor, and then almost declared war on him
- This sounds anecdotal, but it's actually terrifying. Kaczyński, a great strategist, first gave all his tanks to the neighbor, and then almost declared war on him. That's what a great strategist he is - said Donald Tusk in Otwock.

19:19

Morawiecki:

In 4-8 Years We Can Live at the Level of Western Countries, But Without Their Nightmarish Mistakes
- In 4-8 years, we can live at the level of purchasing power in earnings [...] of Western countries, but without their nightmarish mistakes. Without those Muslim migrant hordes that terrorize the suburbs of Paris, loot shops, and destroy the peaceful lives of residents - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Kraśnik. - We want to live like the West, and this is within reach, also in Kraśnik, in the Lublin region, but without the mistakes they made there, without those worldview revolutions - he added.

19:21

Tusk on the Ruling Party: If They Have No Other Ideas, They're Ready to Wage Civil War Over a Film
We really need to consider whether we can allow people to rule who don't solve any problems, but instead create them. Corruption is almost always in the background. And in the end, when it's evident there's corruption, inflation, and an unresolved problem, the only idea that comes to their minds is to ignite another domestic war. Ultimately, if they have no other idea, they're ready to wage civil war over a film – stated Donald Tusk in Otwock.

20:28

Trzaskowski:

First I'm hearing of PO pressuring Holland

- This is the first I'm hearing about it [that Civic Platform pressured Agnieszka Holland to postpone the film's premiere because they would lose the election]. I have never spoken with Agnieszka Holland on this matter. However, I can say one thing. The fact that today we have a quarrel over one film, and that in the election campaign, please note, we were just talking in Otwock with Donald Tusk about the future, about education, about inflation, about relations with the European Union, while PiS, all the time, only intimidates. They attack competitors, insult them, try to deepen this enormous division in Polish society, and they look for traitors and constantly attack some film that they haven't seen. What normal government focuses on some film being shown in Polish cinemas as if it were the most important problem for all Polish women and men today? This is absolutely unbelievable - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.


20:29

Holland:

These People Dishonor Poland

- You know, I don't want to comment on these people, because these people are unworthy, these people dishonor Poland in my opinion, by using these types of methods, by governing the way they govern, by lying the way they lie, by stealing the way they steal, and by using all means, unworthy means, simply to gain as many votes as possible - stated Agnieszka Holland in a conversation with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".


20:29

Holland:

The attacks against me and the film are unprecedented. It brings to mind 1968

- The attacks that have been launched against me and our film are unprecedented. It only brings to mind 1968, the antisemitic, anti-student, anti-intellectual campaign, Gomułka and Moczar. These are exactly the same methods, but it seems to me that those here, in their fanaticism, pride, and shamelessness, have even surpassed them - stated Agnieszka Holland on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
