- The difference is simple. They voted for the rapid relocation of immigrants to Poland. We voted against. They want to turn Poland into a second Lampedusa. We want to defend our security. The choice is yours - says the narrator in the new PiS clip.

? The issue of the migration crisis is on the agenda at the European Council today. Until now, they lied that there was no such topic! The PO-PSL government agreed to the compulsory relocation of immigrants. If they return, they will do it again! #StopPrzymusowejRelokacji pic.twitter.com/pTgvetoZO7

- Very disturbing reports from Alkmaar. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to undertake urgent diplomatic action to verify last night's events. Polish athletes and fans must be treated in accordance with the law. There is no consent for its violation - Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter.

Bardzo niepokojące doniesienia z Alkmaar. Poleciłem @MSZ_RP pilne działania dyplomatyczne w celu weryfikacji wydarzeń z nocy.

- Regarding our participation in the debate, appropriate communications will also be issued soon. However, there is a fundamental problem with Donald Tusk, and I have the impression that he has serious memory issues. Because any debate with this man leads to situations where it suddenly turns out that he wasn't prime minister before, or didn't make any decisions, that he essentially wasn't in politics before, and that's the problem with debating such a person, because he simply lies when it comes to the implementation of his policies from his premiership, and it's difficult to discuss with such individuals – stated Piotr Müller on RMF FM.

- First and foremost, this is precisely what I mentioned a few sentences ago, namely strengthening all of the EU's external borders, including the most important one, concerning the current migration route, the southern border of Europe. Patrols, including strengthening patrols, specifically maritime patrols in the Mediterranean. Because at the moment, this is one of the most important things, plus more advanced discussions and also financial support for African countries. So that they also have certain types of security or border controls stronger than they are now at their own maritime borders – said Piotr Müller on RMF FM.

- This is why we need the binding nature of the referendum, which is during the elections on October 15th, because then we will have social legitimacy to not implement the regulations that will be adopted by the EU – he added.

- Pedophilia cases must be uncompromisingly combatted. In this matter, searches and the securing of evidentiary material are underway at the homes of suspected individuals, meaning computers and electronic equipment are being secured. The police are reaching out to potential victims to create conditions for them to quickly give testimony at the prosecutor's office. Mr. Wardęga is in contact with the police and the prosecutor's office so that he can provide exhaustive testimony as a witness – stated Mariusz Kamiński on TVP1's "Political Quarter Hour" program.

- We are not ready to accept any imposed quotas of illegal immigrants. The system of mandatory relocation, or as it is called in this iteration, the system of mandatory solidarity, is a complete absurdity. It does not solve any problems of illegal migration, which is currently the greatest threat and problem for the European Union – stated Mariusz Kamiński on the TVP1 program “Kwadrans polityczny”.

- High social benefits attract further waves of illegal immigrants to Europe. This is short-sighted, irresponsible, ideologically driven, and thoughtless policy - stated Mariusz Kamiński on the TVP1 program “Political Quarter of an Hour.”

- After yesterday's evening discussions and before today's, one thing is worth emphasizing. Europe faces a fundamental choice: to agree to mass illegal immigration. Everyone here admits that Tusk's party has agreed in recent days to support the migration pact. This means that Europe wants to implement these solutions. If Tusk's party came to power in Poland, these solutions would be introduced, and illegal immigrants would be relocated, or as it's not very beautifully put, distributed among individual states. Poland is putting a decisive veto on such a stance – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in Granada.

- I told this to many prime ministers yesterday, and interestingly, many agree with me. They fear this dictate coming from Brussels and Berlin. We are not afraid of this dictate. We have already shown once, between 2015 and 2018, that regardless of the decision-making procedures in the EU, in June 2018 we managed to ensure that a clear indication appeared in the conclusions of the European Council. There is no possibility of distributing illegal immigrants without the consent of individual member states – he continued.

- The President [Jarosław Kaczyński] is not refusing the challenge, he is simply not engaging in discussion with a liar. Donald Tusk is a liar, a multiple, pathological one at that, and there is no debate with a liar for such an outstanding politician as President Jarosław Kaczyński. We have said this from the beginning. So there is no surprise here; the President has his own activities and tasks, which were planned much earlier for the final days of the campaign. Certainly, the campaign staff and party leadership will field someone for this debate with Tusk, I don't know who else will be there, perhaps Hołownia or Kosiniak-Kamysz, someone whose argumentation will surpass them by two levels – stated Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

The planned budget for the initiative was PLN 578 million, but thanks to a decision by the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, its amount increased to over PLN 763 million. As a result, a total of 88 companies will be able to benefit from support.

"Thanks to our many years of experience, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego continues to implement European funds. This translates into increased competitiveness and the development of the Polish economy. A total of 300 submitted applications showed that Polish enterprises are still interested in investing in innovation. Therefore, thanks to the decision of the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, we were able to increase the budget for this initiative to over PLN 763 million and thus support more companies," says Tomasz Robaczyński, Member of the Management Board of BGK.

- We are in a voivodeship where the ruling party receives very high support, and I would like to appeal to PiS voters, to those who may be wavering. I know that 20% of them are considering voting for the Third Way, hence the recent attacks from PiS, from Chairman Kaczyński, on us, because simply many wavering voters want to vote for the Third Way. The Third Way or PiS's third term, that's a simple choice. The Civic Platform alone cannot manage. Votes are needed for other democratic formations, for the Third Way, for all those who represent specific values. Let everyone vote according to their values. It's good that there is a choice on the democratic side. There are these committees that have more left-wing programs, more left-liberal or centrist like us, the party of the center, the formation of normality. A formation that respects every human being above all else – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Krosno.

- The Third Way is a choice that guarantees change in Poland, that guarantees normality, that guarantees reconciliation, that guarantees the rebuilding of community. Without national community, we will never develop, we will never be safe. This is a fundamental element of the functioning of states and nations, having an elementary national community, a common denominator. We can disagree on many issues, and that's good, because opposite the rule of one party stands the democratic choice of various formations. That is the real value. The slogans and words of democracy, which cannot just be repeated, but must be realized in practice – he continued.

- Going to the polls is a measure of responsibility for the homeland, for ourselves, for our surroundings, but for our entire national community. I implore everyone, go to the polls. Think about who you are voting for and if you know who you are voting for. I am speaking especially to those PiS voters who are wavering. Have these messages about security proven themselves anywhere? Who traded Poland's security in the marketplaces? Who failed to ensure food security, allowing thousands, millions of tons of grain from Ukraine to enter? Who failed to ensure Poland's position in the European Union, resulting in the fact that to this day there is no national recovery plan, which would be very useful. These elections will be about that – he emphasized.

- We genuinely want to talk about the future. We are open to a calm conversation about what can be done for Poland and for Silesia. All of us, wherever we are from, we learn from you too about this strong stance, this respect for work, respect for dignity. This is incredibly important for us, a lesson that always flows from your warm hearts, and I am very glad therefore that I will have the opportunity today, here in Silesia and also throughout the voivodeship, because tomorrow I will be in Bielsko-Biała. We will talk about what is most important for us - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference in Wodzisław Śląski.

- We want Silesia to continue to develop dynamically. Do not let yourselves be told that there is any contradiction between seeking solutions that will combat the climate crisis, that will allow us to fight for clean air, and on the other hand, caring for jobs and for the tradition that is so important for the residents of the entire voivodeship. I will talk about this today. About our concrete proposals - he added.

- The test of truth awaits us this coming Monday because Donald Tusk has decided to participate in the TVP debate, demonstrating determination and courage. All of Poland, which is often condemned to watch manipulations on TVP, will finally be able to hear what Chairman Donald Tusk truly has to say, what he truly has to offer you. On the other hand, everyone is afraid to take this test of truth. We all know that Jarosław Kaczyński wouldn't pass any test because he is simply detached from reality. I am convinced that whoever they send to this debate, they will not pass the test, because it will be a test of truth - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference in Wodzisław Śląski.

- We are a formation of local Poland, we are a formation of local self-government Poland, we are a formation representing small homelands. There are no parachute drops here, which you have to accept one way or another. We have our own people here, locals, to put it plainly, to put it very concretely. The Third Way, no more bickering forward – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference in Rzeszów.

- Poland must not be pushed out of the EU, we must not allow ourselves to be pushed out of the EU; we must take the money that is lying on the table. This is wasteful. This is prodigal Poland in a nutshell, and we stand for frugal Poland, for what the European budget can add to us, and it has added a great deal – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Rzeszów.

- Monday is a test of truth. Suddenly, many people watching television that was once public will see Donald Tusk and discover that Tusk has very concrete proposals, that he is a sensible, likeable person who cares about Poland and knows how to speak Polish. It will suddenly turn out that all this propaganda we've been fed for years has no basis in reality. Unfortunately, the other side does not want to pass this test of truth. They are simply unable to pass it – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Bytom.

- We are clearly stating that we have immense respect for Silesian identity. We will ensure that Silesia has this very important status of a regional language. We will also ensure that there is a Ministry of Industry here. This is not just about symbolism; we realize that in these difficult times, when the previous government promised miners who knows what and did nothing about it. It is precisely here that exceptionally new, modern jobs need to be created, and for this, there are billions that are within reach - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference in Bytom.

- Today, we need concrete work and to rely on what we can do together. I believe this is the argument that can help us win. If you have a neighbor, a friend, who is still hesitating, go to them and tell them, "Vote for those who truly want to change things, who truly care about Poland." Vote for those who have always, from the very beginning, your MPs, have always fought for your interests, who haven't forgotten where they come from - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference in Bytom.

On Friday, October 6, 2023, a conference summarizing the year-long activities of the 116sos.pl platform was held at Psychological and Pedagogical Counseling Center No. 1 in Olsztyn. The conference was attended by Minister of Digital Affairs Janusz Cieszyński and representatives from NASK – the National Research Institute.

- We are warning against the admission of illegal immigrants to Europe, against what Tusk's party has agreed to here, and together with Weber, they are now very quickly pushing to implement this nightmarish and very flawed political process - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference in Granada.

- What Poland proposed today is becoming part of the European agenda. I discussed this with the Prime Minister of Norway yesterday, with the Prime Minister of Sweden today, with the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, and with many other prime ministers, also talking about our referendum plan. All the prime ministers responded with great understanding, which is why I am pleased that Europe understands that our referendum makes sense. Giving citizens the right to have their say makes sense. Therefore, all political forces that try to boycott the referendum are anti-democratic forces - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference in Granada.

Individuals with the appropriate permissions – for creating and authorizing transactions – within the desktop iPKO biznes online service can now quickly and conveniently perform these operations using their smartphone.

The iPKO biznes app is continuously being enhanced with new features. Thanks to the latest additions, entrepreneurs or their authorized employees can now initiate a domestic transfer and a transfer to their own account from anywhere and at any time using their smartphone. Transfers can be made in Polish Zloty, while foreign currency transfers are only available for the company's own accounts at PKO Bank Polski.

"We are constantly developing the iPKO biznes app and implementing new functionalities that help our clients manage their company finances on a daily basis. We focus on fast, convenient, and practical solutions that enable entrepreneurs to conduct their business even more efficiently. We are now providing corporate and business clients with new transfer options, allowing them to securely execute essential transactions for their business operations right from their fingertips," emphasizes Mariusz Dąbrowski, Director of the Transaction Products Department at PKO Bank Polski.

The maximum amount for a single external transfer, for example, to a contractor or supplier, is 100,000 Polish Zloty. Entrepreneurs should also remember that transfers made via the mobile app reduce the company's daily limit, which has already been set in the iPKO biznes online service. Such transfers are authorized immediately and cannot be saved for later authorization.

To use this new functionality, entrepreneurs or their authorized employees should update or install the latest version of the iPKO biznes mobile app on their smartphone, downloading it from the App Store, Google Play, or Huawei AppGallery.

In the coming months, the transfer initiation feature in the iPKO biznes mobile app will be expanded to include:

• The option to make an external transfer via Express Elixir,
• The ability to select a predefined contractor (from a list),
• The option to independently set transaction limits (daily/weekly/monthly) for transfers initiated within the app.

The iPKO biznes mobile app is available in four languages: Polish, English, German, and Czech. In addition to initiating transfers, entrepreneurs can use the app to manage company finances (including checking balances and history of corporate accounts, monitoring transaction statuses, and exchanging currencies), and view and manage their corporate card information (e.g., change PIN, block, or temporarily suspend it).

- Truly, presenting it this way, on such a level, is a misunderstanding. Prime Minister Morawiecki has been the Prime Minister of the United Right government, of PiS, for 6 years, a government that has led Poland through very difficult times. He is the Prime Minister of a successful government, because we have truly achieved great success during this time: there was economic growth, minimal unemployment, and a sealed tax system – these are all accomplishments – stated Jacek Sasin in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

- Reducing Prime Minister Morawiecki's role to some distant past, to the times when he was a bank president and in that capacity was not an advisor, but a member of the Economic Council. That too is a difference, because it is a difference; he was not an advisor at all. Prime Minister Morawiecki was not a politician then; he was the president of one of the banks. He was asked to express opinions on various matters, and that is simply nothing extraordinary – continued the Minister of State Assets.

- Prime Minister Morawiecki possesses, first and foremost, extensive knowledge of the state, of how this state functions under our government, but he also has extensive knowledge – and Donald Tusk is certainly very afraid of this – about the state during the PO's time in power, about the pathologies of that era - stated Jacek Sasin on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

- Our goal is a victory that would grant us a third consecutive term of sole governance, because only PiS's sole governance will protect Poland from chaos. Any alternative spells chaos - stated Jacek Sasin on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".
