in a new video:
Poland’s border will be safe as long as our government defends it." PiS continues the theme of "Tusk’s Line of Betrayal
The clip features a statement by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki from a rally in Kraśnik on Monday. - We have ordered several hundred HIMARS. This is immense firepower. We are positioning this firepower along the Polish border. And Poland’s border will be safe as long as our government and the Polish Army defend this border - said the head of government.
- Tusk is dangerous. Only PiS can stop him - the narrator concluded.
? It is better to deter than to assume the enemy can reach the Vistula line. The PiS government is buying hundreds of rocket launchers. They said there was no “money” for anything. #LiniaZdradyTuska pic.twitter.com/h0dVFBmBK5

- I spoke with President Nawrocki, the President of the Institute of National Remembrance. Indeed, I wrote to him asking to investigate if there are any traces in the documents concerning this Yaroslav Hunka. Apparently, there is some information, so I am eagerly awaiting it, because if it exists, I will certainly demand and propose to the appropriate Polish authorities, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, an extradition request – stated Przemysław Czarnek on PR24.
- This is not about Mr. Hunka, this is about President Zelensky having compromised himself, and I have the right to claim, as a former voivode of Lublin, who also knows Ukrainian Banderites. Their audacity knows no bounds, if they fed President Zelensky, Prime Minister Trudeau this kind of story, to glorify a Nazi criminal from SS Galizien in the Canadian parliament, who participated, at least the formation participated – at this moment, we can say, because it is certain, the formation participated in the genocide of the Polish nation, including Polish citizens of Jewish nationality. This is a scandal and shows the audacity of Banderites, whether here in Ukraine or there in Canada, knows no limits. This audacity must be stopped, this is about historical truth. There is no place in today's world and in our civilization sphere for glorifying genocidal criminals – he added.

Czarnek:
This attempt to paint a bleak picture of Polish schools is the work of Broniarz, who has nothing else to do
- I said, there is no catastrophe, let's debunk these myths again. In the last 20 years, there were 1.5 million fewer children in Polish schools, and the number of teachers increased. How can there be a catastrophe in schools where there are 1.5 million fewer children and fewer teachers? This in itself shows that this attempt to paint such a bleak picture of Polish schools is the work of Broniarz, who has nothing else to do but engage in leftist politics and this ZNP [National Teachers' Union], which puts blinkers on some teachers. However, the truth is that there is no shortage of teachers in Polish schools - stated Przemysław Czarnek on PR24.

There Are No Rational Grounds to Claim Poland is Experiencing an Uncontrolled Influx of Refugees into Germany
- There are no rational grounds to claim that today there is an uncontrolled influx of refugees from Poland into Germany. Unlike from other directions. And this confirms what I want to say. In this context, in which this decision is being made. That is, this decision, there's no hiding it, simply fits into the opposition's narrative in Poland – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Dariusz Ociepa on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

Sasin:
Germany Supports the Opposition in Poland, Primarily PO and Tusk. Their Interest Lies in PiS Not Governing
- This is further proof that the German government, Germany, is currently supporting the opposition in Poland, primarily PO and Donald Tusk. Germany's interest, regardless of the political party, is that PiS does not govern in Poland. This is in Germany's interest because Germany wants to build Europe in its own image, a European state under its own protectorate, managed from Berlin, and PiS stands in the way of this grand project, which is a German project, regardless of who is in power there – stated Jacek Sasin on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

Müller:
According to Our Internal Polls, We Have a Chance for an Independent Majority
- According to our internal research, about which I can speak in general terms, we have a chance for an independent majority. That's why these next 2.5 weeks are crucial for us to present an alternative, which is - stated Piotr Müller in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the "Guest of Radio Zet" program.
09:03
- First steps in this regard should be taken today, because the order was issued yesterday. Deputy Prime Minister Kaczyński, as the person coordinating security matters in the government. There was a discussion about this yesterday, we talked about it at the government meeting on Tuesday, and decisions were made yesterday - stated Piotr Müller on the program "Gość Radia Zet".
09:08
09:08
- This is not a matter of revenge, but of potential risks that may arise in the future. At this moment, there are no such decisions; they are in place on the Polish-Czech and Polish-Slovak borders. If we were to see, for example, movement from Lampedusa, an activated Italian channel, concerning illegal immigrants arriving here, or attempts at forced relocation, then we might introduce them – stated Piotr Müller on the program "Gość Radia Zet".
- Poland is not currently a target for migrants, and I hope it remains that way. In the future, we are talking about a forced relocation mechanism, a concept served up by Berlin – he added.

Sasin:
There Will Be No Fuel Shortage
- There will be no [gasoline] shortage, and I want to say one thing. Orlen's actions have nothing to do with any extraordinary election campaign. These are market actions, they are a consequence of decisions and actions taken over the last 8 years, which caused the concern, from one of many companies, small companies in our part of Europe, to become a serious player, a fuel concern truly of not only Polish dimension - stated Jacek Sasin on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
09:11
- Whether a million people come to Warsaw, we will talk about how it looks on Sunday. Warsaw is a very large city, more people live here than a million. The mobilization of people in Warsaw alone would already have an effect – stated Piotr Müller on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

09:45
Błaszczak:
We Will Not Cede a Single Inch of the Republic of Poland's Territory
- The Law and Justice party (PiS) rejects such plans. Any honest government, any responsible government cares about all Poles. Not just those living in a specific area, but all Poles. That is why the defense plans adopted by the PiS government regarding the defense of our country are on Poland's border. We will not cede a single inch of the Republic of Poland's territory. But of course, our goal is to build a strong Polish army so as to deter the aggressor, so that the aggressor does not decide to invade our country – said Mariusz Błaszczak in Warsaw.
09:45
Błaszczak:
We Are Negotiating Details of Contract for 96 Apache Helicopters for Polish Army
- We are negotiating the details of the contract for the acquisition of 96 such helicopters [Apache] for the Polish army, 96, no less. The opposition accuses me of buying too much military equipment. No. Ladies and gentlemen, this much equipment is needed to realistically deter an aggressor – said Mariusz Błaszczak in Warsaw.
10:51
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
We Represent People of Hard Work, We Are a Coalition for Work
- We represent all those who have taken matters into their own hands, small businesses, medium and small enterprises, family firms, artisans. All those who work from dawn till dusk, often holding down two jobs. Yes, we represent people of hard work, we are a coalition for work, for entrepreneurs, a coalition that aims to finally appreciate work. Work in Poland must pay off. Work in Poland must be profitable, must command respect and provide a decent living. This is what we are bringing to these elections, we want to end the Polish-Polish war - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:
We Have a Prescription, Developed Within the Third Way Coalition – If You Can't See a Specialist Within 60 Days, You Go Private, and the NFZ Will Cover Treatment Costs
- There is one flagship idea that we will implement with extreme diligence, and that is the fight against queues. We are the only party, the only coalition, with a concrete idea on how to do it, because simply saying 'the queues are too long' isn't enough. Diagnosis is only part of the treatment process. It begins with a diagnosis, and we have established it. Queues have lengthened; to see a child psychiatrist in Będzin, one has to wait until 2030. We need a solution today, a prescription to heal this. We have that prescription, and we developed it within the Third Way coalition. This prescription is based on one very important principle: if, within 60 days, you cannot get an appointment with a specialist within public healthcare, at public healthcare facilities. If, within 60 days, you cannot get to see a specialist, you go private, and the National Health Fund (NFZ) will cover the costs of this treatment. It is very important that this project comes into effect immediately after we take power. We will be its advocate and guarantor of its implementation – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

Scheuring-Wielgus:
As the Left, We Say Clearly. A Doctor Working in a Hospital Should Discard Their Worldview
- We are standing here because this is one of the hospitals which, as revealed by a journalistic investigation, also possesses relics. The fact that a hospital possesses relics came to light after the unfortunate situation in Nowy Targ, where Ms. Dorota died. Possessing relics, or naming a hospital after this or that saint, leads to hospitals refusing to perform the medical procedure of abortion – said Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus in Płock.
- Dear sirs and madams, regarding hospitals that have relics in Poland, we never really considered this before. It turns out that there are very, very many such hospitals in Poland, and they are in every voivodeship. In Lower Silesia, we have 3 such hospitals, in Kuyavian-Pomeranian 2, in Lublin Voivodeship 5 hospitals, in Lubusz 1, in Łódź 3 hospitals, in Lesser Poland 7, in Mazovia, besides this hospital, there are 10 others that possess relics or are named after John Paul II (...). Ladies and gentlemen, it is unbelievable that in the 21st century, people who come to a hospital, especially women, may not receive the proper help when their pregnancy is at risk. Or when they need help with women's health issues. We in the Left clearly state: a doctor who treats patients in a hospital should discard their personal worldview – she continued.

- This is an event that genuinely touches my heart; I feel it very deeply today since I entered this monumental building. President Professor Lech Kaczyński should be standing here before you; it was his dream, his idea for a Museum of Polish History like this to be established. He considered it one of the most important tasks for those responsible for the Republic to accomplish for future generations. "As the youth is raised, so will the Republic be"; history is the teacher of life. Indeed, by referencing history, he often illustrated life and pointed out potential future developments, what might happen - stated President Andrzej Duda during the opening of the Museum of Polish History.
13:16
- The museum is the largest, the most beautiful, certainly at this moment in Poland, absolutely the most modern (...) Here, in 3 years, we plan to have a permanent exhibition of 7,300 m2, documented with artifacts, the history of over 1,000 years of our state, the history of Poland (...). It is here that young people will come to see this permanent exhibition and temporary exhibitions. Already today, you can see the first of them, “Great and Small Histories,” showing the process of collecting artifacts and monuments that will form the full exhibition of this museum in the future – stated President Andrzej Duda during the opening of the Museum of Polish History.
- I can already imagine the crowds, groups pilgrimaging here from all over Poland, from our schools, young people. This great, wonderful educational process that will take place here in this building, a building that will attract with its beauty, monumentality, and the extraordinary modernity of its presentation – he added.

A New Civic Platform Spot:
You've Led Poland to Ruin.
Platforma Obywatelska (Civic Platform) has unveiled a new spot.
- Inflation that's devastating Poles' wallets, a lack of EU funds for Poland's development, ever-growing queues for doctors, Polish visas being sold at stalls in Asia and Africa, thousands of tons of garbage in illegal landfills, mass deforestation and the sale of timber to China, the ecological catastrophe on the Oder River - lists the narrator in the recording published on social media.
- You've led Poland to ruin. You don't know how to govern. You are bunglers - it concludes.
Doprowadziliście Polskę do dziadostwa.

ORLEN Deutschland, a company belonging to the ORLEN Group, currently operates 606 fuel stations under the ORLEN and Star brands. This places the concern in 6th position among the largest fuel station operators in Germany. The latest acquisition, finalized in June this year, was the takeover of 17 self-service refueling points from OMV in the federal states of Bavaria (13 locations), Baden-Württemberg (3), and Hesse (1).
Germany is one of the markets where the ORLEN Group plans intensive development of stations and charging points. By 2030, the infrastructure for electric car users, mainly in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany, is to include 10,000 chargers. In the next two years alone, the number of charging stations in Germany is planned to increase to over 430.
In line with the adopted assumptions, all ORLEN stations will operate under a common logo by the end of the decade. The rebranding process is carried out in accordance with market conditions in each country where the Group's stations are located. All stations in Slovakia, Lithuania, and Hungary operate under the ORLEN logo. In the case of the Czech market, by the end of the year, nearly 90% of stations previously operating under the Benzina brand will begin functioning under the ORLEN brand.
The ORLEN 2030 strategy also assumes the development of the network to at least 3,500 stations. The share of foreign facilities in the entire network is to increase to 45%. At the end of the second quarter of 2023, the number of ORLEN fuel stations was 3,157, with 1,238 in foreign markets. After the finalization of the transaction and the acquisition of the Austrian Turmöl network, the number of stations in the ORLEN network will increase by 266, and the concern will conduct retail fuel sales in seven European markets.

Kaczyński and PiS Claim Poland is Safe – That Slogan Crosses the Line of Falsehood and Lies
- This is a fairy tale, a scandal, it's truly poor state governance. What's worst, in my opinion, is that it's a planned state action. You see, when we passed the COVID-related laws in good faith, provisions were introduced that enabled such things. Nobody will tell me that nobody thought about this two years ago. Honestly, I look with horror at the wall between Poland and Belarus. When I think that people who didn't get over the wall could buy a visa a kilometer away for 1,500 euros, without any checks (...) At the same time, Mr. Kaczyński and PiS say that Poland is safe, that it's secure here – that's their slogan. I think the line of falsehood and lies has been crossed by 150% - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's program "Kropka nad i".
20:26
Czarzasty:
Can Everything Be Done During an Election Campaign to Win? I Believe Not
- The question is - can everything be done during an election campaign to win? I believe not, and PiS believes so. They will spoil relations with the European Union, with Ukraine, they will talk nonsense and declassify secret military materials, all just to win a third term - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's program “Kropka nad i”.
20:33
- First and foremost, this is good news because it means there will be a democratic government in Poland. These results also show what we have been saying for a long time: that not only the Civic Coalition's result matters here. The guarantee of a democratic government in Poland is the result of the Third Way, the result of the Left. We hope that the Civic Coalition is keeping their fingers crossed for us, and we are also keeping ours crossed for them. It is also clear now that the Third Way is what the democratic opposition lacked to achieve victory in 2015. We simply bring people to the polls, we encourage those people to whom the democratic opposition did not reach in 2015 – stated Szymon Hołownia in an interview with Anita Werner on the TVN24 program “Fakty po faktach” (Facts after Facts).
20:34
Hołownia:
We Have Internal Polls. The Numbers Are Different
- Yes, we have [internal polls]. The numbers are different, for example, in our internal poll, the support levels for PiS and Platforma are different from that poll, but indeed the difference between them is small, around 2-3%. Our result in this poll is 11.2%, Konfederacja has 10.6%, and Lewica has 9.8%, but this is also a good poll for the prospect of forming a democratic government - stated Szymon Hołownia on TVN24.
- Today, the most important thing is to convince those who are undecided. Our internal study also showed this: among PiS voters, there are 20% of people, exactly 19%, who are considering voting for Trzecia Droga as their second option. We have an overrepresentation among the undecided. These are all very good prognostics for the final 2 weeks of the campaign, when the campaign for 70% of Poles truly begins - he added.
20:35
- Because elections are approaching, and they think they can wait it out, charm, sing, or shout their way through. It's clear that PiS's narrative will be that the European Union is Satan, that retired Angela Merkel pulls all the strings, and it's not just Tusk's fault, but generally all of us who are traitors to the Polish nation. They will tell these absurdities right up until the elections. People are not as stupid as PiS propagandists think. They see that something is happening, that Germany is closing its borders, Poland is closing its borders with Slovakia, and our privileges related to the Schengen Area are running out. Minister Czaputowicz comes out and speaks with striking honesty about the numbers, about thousands of migrants who are crossing their supposedly well-protected Polish-Belarusian border, who have been going unhindered for months along the Balkan route through Slovakia. People are starting to strongly disagree with this - stated Szymon Hołownia on TVN24.
20:36
Hołownia:
The Kaczyński Era is Ending
- The Kaczyński era is ending. There is no chance that Kaczyński will secure 235 seats in these elections. There is no chance for that, and he had that many in '19 and '15, which means his era is truly coming to an end before our eyes - stated Szymon Hołownia on TVN24.
