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.
07:37
– 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.

- 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.

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.

Morawiecki:
Our PiS Bus is Rolling to Show the Great Danger Posed by PO and Their 'Vistula Line' Defense Doctrine
08:03
- 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.

It Should Be Ukraine That Cares About Poland's Support
09:12
- 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
09:17
- 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.

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.

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.
13:48
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.

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.

- 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.

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.
15:52
- 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
- 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
- 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.

- 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.

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".
