- 5 zł, 6 zł, 4.50 zł per hour, mostly on 'junk contracts'. Remember this, see for yourselves. These are job offers from Tusk's era. These ads were a permanent feature of Poland under PO's rule. And they even made people happy about it, because unemployment was so high that it was better to earn anything at all. They only cared about increasing the wealth of foreign corporations. Today it's different. Decent wages, almost the lowest unemployment in the EU, lower taxes for workers, and zero PIT for young people entering the job market. These are the hallmarks of the PiS government. Don't let the time of these shameful ads return - the time of work for 4 or 5 złoty. This time of shame - over 2 million Poles unemployed, millions more on junk contracts. Only PiS can stop Tusk - says Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in a new PiS clip.

- It seems to me that this was a debate between two leaders, the ruling camp and the opposition, the total opposition. Well, the rest of the participants, although one could say so, aimed high at one, because they were all supporters. All the others are opposition supporters, and they all criticized the government in various ways, but the rest turned out so bland that it was as if they confirmed that in essence, votes cast for them are wasted votes – stated Ryszard Terlecki on PR24.

- They solely constituted a backdrop to the clash of the two main competitors – he added.

- Tusk's intention, I believe, was to break out of this, as it is now unpleasantly termed, opposition media bubble, which makes listeners and viewers foolish. To appear on Polish public television, before listeners and viewers who do not watch opposition media on a daily basis. Well, he failed to achieve that, because he was aggressive, he started by insulting President Kaczyński. In a word, he did not meet his hopes, I think, of managing to convince someone who doesn't watch TVN on a daily basis – stated Ryszard Terlecki on PR24.

- It seems to me, one thing is certain, that there will be an attempt to question the significance of these elections and their results in various ways. Among other things, somewhere someone will drop a pen and bend down, and that will be the reason that the elections were falsified, that some irregularities occurred, that their outcome can be challenged from such a formal perspective – said Ryszard Terlecki on PR24.

- First and foremost, I'm talking about what has become a genuine obsession for Mateusz Morawiecki. I wonder with genuine concern whether he is capable of walking a few steps from his bedroom to the bathroom in the morning without repeating 'Donald Tusk' seven times, because yesterday he showed that he probably has trouble with that. However, Morawiecki's performance was clearly also disastrous. I had the impression that I wasn't seeing the leader of the list, who inspires and talks about dreams, about how beautiful it will be, about what we will do, but rather someone defending himself before a tribunal - stated Szymon Hołownia in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- We know, we see, we feel it, it comes from the polls, that last weekend, it's really like this, a million additional viewers logged in, someone nicely compared it, and now the actors, I don't remember whose comparison it was, but it's apt, they have to perform this whole play, which they've been acting for 6 months, in an instant version over a week, because these are people, like our friends, who say: okay, for half a year they've been throwing all this at each other, barking at each other, shouting, all this filth has been poured out, but the elections are in a week, so we have to go out now and see who to vote for, and the fight is for these people now. That's a million voters, 6-7% of the electorate. In my opinion, [it is decisive], the fight will be for them, until the end, until Friday, until late evening - stated Szymon Hołownia in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

- I have the impression that we are truly at a very important moment in history. Forgive me for the pathos, but it is so. Something is ending in Poland. The duopoly, the polarization, is ending – that’s my impression. Yesterday’s debate also showed this a bit, and people see that it’s no longer enough for them – stated Szymon Hołownia on Polsat News’s “Graffiti.”

- Yes, I am absolutely sure [that we will exceed 8%]. I believe our result will be between 12 and 15%. I don't know [if I will end my political career if we don't get 8%]; we will see what cards the people deal us - stated Szymon Hołownia in Polsat News's "Graffiti".

- Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki had a decisive advantage, Donald Tusk seemed from another era. To be honest, the faces of Donald Tusk's staff after leaving the debate spoke for themselves. I really haven't seen such sad faces on the Civic Platform's campaign team. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki won decisively, presenting concrete achievements from the last eight years, as well as a vision for what can happen in the coming years – stated Piotr Müller on the TVP1 program „Kwadrans polityczny”.

- I don't want to reveal the internal polls that we conduct daily, but I can say that I am calm, and this barrier is achievable. There is an upward trend, which is why I am more at ease after yesterday's debate, as I know we have laid everything out on the table for Poles to choose from over the weekend - stated Piotr Müller in the TVP1 program "Political Quarter of an Hour".

- In my assessment, but this is speculation, Konfederacja will fall apart. It is not a unified environment. After the election, it will fall apart; some will go with PiS, some might vote with the opposition. It is not a monolithic entity - stated Szymon Hołownia on Polsat News' "Graffiti" program.

- It's frankly ridiculous, funny. I was standing close by and could see the dynamics of this debate live, and in my opinion, Mateusz Morawiecki had lines memorized that he recited regardless of what anyone said. In the first round, it wasn't the case that everyone was attacking the prime minister. Donald Tusk himself clearly got lost in the first round and couldn't manage his time, whereas Mateusz Morawiecki delivered his pre-learned line that everyone was attacking him and that the visa scandal, which didn't even exist. This demonstrates a lack of authenticity in this debate from the government's representative - stated Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Gość Radia ZET”.

- We learned a lot about the political scene. We learned, above all, a very important thing: that the parties presented as the main political parties in Poland, namely PiS and Civic Platform, ultimately have weak leaders, obsessively focused on each other. It seems they are not mature enough for the high offices they hold, that of Prime Minister and former Prime Minister - stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio ZET.

- I'm saying what I saw. I was embarrassed, standing there and seeing questions being asked, and the questions were also criticized. But setting aside the criticism of the questions, that they were long and tailored for PiS, they concerned serious matters, and these people did not want to talk about serious matters, only about each other, making some digs on the level of a school corridor. They were weak little spiteful remarks. Weak, I was embarrassed - he continued.

- I believe that Poles have won by gaining this knowledge about how embarrassing and childish this rivalry at the top of PiS and Civic Platform's power is. However, there are also other political parties, including Confederation, which I had the honor of representing yesterday, because they simply showed themselves to be more serious, more substantive forces than these actors promoted by the media - he added.

- I suspect it won't happen [the debate proposed by Donald Tusk]. It's well known that PiS didn't want such debates. In this election campaign, employer organizations and online portals are organizing them, and PiS isn't putting anyone forward for these debates, so it's clear that PiS is running away from debates. Furthermore, Tusk's proposal was formulated in his typical, insulting manner. Suggesting that the Prime Minister should come with the party leader, or that the two of them are needed to debate with him, the great Tusk, is a form of self-aggrandizement. In my opinion, it's better to leave the assessment of who is better to the viewers and voters, rather than stating it directly about oneself, because if you say you will debate against two on your own, you are clearly presenting yourself as the stronger, dominant rival, and in my opinion, this is unnecessary arrogance, but typical of Tusk – stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio ZET.

- We are doing a spectacular campaign finale in Krakow, on Friday at 7 PM on the Main Market Square - stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio ZET.

- This is the kind of thinking that reminds me of, let's say, less developed civilizations based on a clan system, where customary law prevails, like some African tribes and so on. I believe we are a European civilization based on law – stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio ZET.

- This harms us, which is why our opponents eagerly exploit it, but we in Konfederacja simply disagree with this view. We believe that children must be protected from all forms of sexual violence – he added.

- Certainly, [Szymon Hołownia] managed to win over a few undecided voters, his results are indeed perceived as good (...) I think everyone did well yesterday except for Tusk and Morawiecki, and the gentleman from the Non-partisan Local Government Officials did quite well, although in my opinion, he copied some of our slogans - stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio ZET.

- The resignation of the Chief of the General Staff, the resignation of the Operational Commander, this is simply an earthquake. This is something that has not happened in the Polish army since 1989. This negates the ruling party's basic slogan that they care about security. The myth that they can take care of Polish security has passed and crumbled, and it crumbled with a great bang. You cannot operate like this, you cannot govern like this, when every part of life is politicized. Polish soldiers have been telling us for a long time, we don't want to be politicized, we don't want to stand at press conferences, be background, decoration, set dressing. Today, the most important generals in the state have said the same thing by submitting their resignations. In the face of the ongoing war in Ukraine, in the face of the conflict that has been ongoing for several days, the tragedy in Israel, and the evacuation of citizens of the Republic of Poland. If soldiers and generals undertake such action, make such a decision, it means they are pushed against the wall, they are at the limit of their capabilities. They are exhausted by this politicization, by the lack of cooperation - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Wrocław.

- This conflict begins at the moment when Minister Błaszczak shifts responsibility from himself onto the army, he does not behave honorably in any way. We felt this, we saw it in conversations with officers of the Polish army, that there is no cooperation, no collaboration, there is chaos, there is degradation. This madness, which leads to the endangerment of Poland's security, must be stopped. Today, Poland is not safe, Poland is endangered, plunged into chaos. Nothing is left of this slogan about security. This is, in fact, the security of those who rule, not the security of those who should be the subject, i.e., the citizens. We do not agree with such conduct. A change must happen next Sunday. This chaos must be put in order - he continued,

- A few days ago, I heard statements from President Kaczyński, who said that if PiS didn't win, there would be some kind of confusion. This is the confusion today, if the most important generals are submitting their resignations. This is powerful chaos today - he emphasized.

- Today we appeal to all circles, an appeal also to the President, because this is an important moment. Regardless of political differences, the National Security Council should convene in this situation. Due to the ongoing conflict in Israel, and due to what is happening in the Polish Army, the National Security Council should be convened, and the President should step out of the role of a partisan president and, as the President of the Republic should always do, stand at the forefront of all Poles, regardless of their worldviews and political sympathies. We know well in which direction he steers, but this is a moment of trial. This is a very dangerous moment for Poland - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Wrocław.

PARTNER TEXT

Plans for joint mining projects concerning future raw materials, cooperation, and building Poland's energy independence – KGHM and Lubelski Węgiel "Bogdanka" have signed a letter of intent regarding collaboration, including securing access to raw materials crucial for sustainable transformation. The document was adopted during the All-Polish Economic Summit in Lublin.

The parties declare in the letter that they will undertake cooperation in various forms, depending on their needs and capabilities, with particular emphasis on the assumptions contained in their business strategies. The companies will cooperate and flexibly adapt to the situation, follow developments, and adjust technologies to global changes, utilizing new business opportunities to build competitive advantages for both entities.

– Raw materials are not just an economic issue; they are currently a crucial matter for national security. Therefore, KGHM is ready for dialogue with domestic partners to ensure the stability and independence of our country. The agreement with "Bogdanka" has one goal: to create strong economic foundations for future generations, providing them with certainty of supply for essential raw materials and energy – said Tomasz Zdzikot, CEO of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

– The transformation of Polish energy is not only a necessity but also a huge challenge and opportunity for Poland. For Bogdanka, KGHM is a natural partner in realizing mining projects concerning future raw materials. Through this cooperation, we can act not only for sustainable transformation but also strengthen our independence in the supply of critical raw materials and the production of energy from renewable sources. Bogdanka strives to achieve its strategic goals with full commitment and the conviction that by doing so, it contributes to Poland's energy security and the sustainable future of our country – said Kasjan Wyligała, CEO of Lubelski Węgiel "Bogdanka" S.A.

– Poland possesses deposits whose extraction is and will be the driving force of the national economy in the coming years. Energy transformation, electromobility, the defense industry – their functioning depends on the availability of so-called future raw materials. For years, KGHM has been a guarantor of Poland's raw material security; to strengthen it and open up to new business directions, we want to cooperate with other leaders of the Polish mining market, and LW Bogdanka is one such leader – said Mateusz Wodejko, Vice-President of the Management Board for Finance at KGHM.

– Signing the letter of intent with KGHM is a significant step in the context of Poland's future energy security and is another element of our strategy implementation. The search for critical raw materials is becoming increasingly strategic, and our cooperation with KGHM, a leader in the raw material acquisition industry, will allow us to approach this challenge effectively. The realization of our common goals in the field of raw materials and energy has a direct impact on our country's independence and its development – said Dariusz Dumkiewicz, Vice-President of the Management Board for Trade and Investment at Lubelski Węgiel "Bogdanka" S.A.

The signatories of the letter declare, among other things, their willingness for close cooperation in identifying and analyzing opportunities for implementing joint investment ventures in new mining projects in Poland concerning future raw materials. Detailed principles regarding planned ventures will be presented in separate agreements.

Both KGHM and Lubelski Węgiel "Bogdanka" intend to strive for mutual benefits associated with the further development and strengthening of Polish industry, enabling the realization of strategic goals and meeting market requirements.

In 2023, KGHM is implementing development plans, including the Deposit Access Project, under which the deepest mining excavation in Poland has been launched: shaft GG-1 with a depth of 1348 meters. The shaft in Kwielice is one of the most important investments in the history of the copper giant and the largest underground project in the non-ferrous metals industry in Europe. In June, a key connection for this project was made between the shaft and the Rudna Mining Plant.

Initial work has also begun on the construction of KGHM's 32nd shaft, GG-2. The shaft site is being created near the town of Słone in the Legnica Copper Basin.

The copper giant has begun developing a feasibility study for the construction of a modern Salt Evaporator. The investment is both business-oriented and pro-ecological. It will reduce the salinity of KGHM's technological waters and allow for environmentally neutral water free of salt and pollutants. Due to the availability of technical and energy utilities, the evaporator is planned to be built at the Głogów Copper Smelter.

KGHM also continues work on the executive documentation for the Scrap Trading Base within the Hybrid Smelter Legnica program and exploration projects in Poland and development projects in foreign assets. It is also undertaking activities related to increasing energy production from its own sources, including RES, solar and wind energy projects, and hydrogen.

The copper giant is also implementing an energy development program to reduce the share of conventional energy and increase the company's energy independence. This also concerns investment plans related to, among others, the energy transformation. The Ministry of Climate and Environment has issued a decision in principle to KGHM regarding the construction of a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) in Poland. Thus, KGHM has received official state approval for the planned investment in line with the assumptions and concept presented by the company.

KGHM has also commissioned an analysis of the environmental and carbon footprint for its products: cathodes, wire rod, and Cu-OFE wire. The Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals and Energy Economy of the Polish Academy of Sciences conducted the analyses in accordance with ISO standards and prepared environmental declarations. KGHM's copper products have a footprint lower than the global average.

Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. is the leader of the hard coal producer market in Poland, distinguished within the industry by its modernity and mining efficiency. It is one of the largest Polish hard coal mines. Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. primarily engages in mining activities, including the extraction, enrichment, and sale of hard coal. The company mainly supplies raw material to industrial customers. Supply is based on multi-year contracts, with sales directed towards professional and industrial energy sectors.

Since June 2009, the company has been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange S.A. In August 2022, Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. returned to trading in the WIG-ESG Index.

Since October 2015, Bogdanka has been part of the Enea Group, the second-largest player in the Polish electricity market in terms of electricity production, managing the entire value chain in the electricity market: from fuel, through electricity production, distribution, sales, and customer service.

In May 2023, Bogdanka published its Strategy for 2023-2030 with a outlook to 2040. The document outlines key directions for Bogdanka's development and transformation. The company plans to create an innovative multi-raw material concern driving the green transformation and ensuring the economic development of the Lublin region. Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka's new strategy is based on 5 pillars. The first pillar is a strong coal foundation, within which Bogdanka remains the leader in coal mining efficiency until the end of the mine's operational life. The remaining four are: Multi-Raw Material Concern, Guarantor of Sustainable Energy, Green Transformation, and the Future of the Lublin Region.

- Disgraceful provocations in a UB-style manner during the Smolensk anniversary on Piłsudski Square. Vulgarity, insults, offensive remarks about the late Lech Kaczyński. In other words, simply Donald Tusk's support base - wrote Jacek Sasin on Twitter.

Haniebne prowokacje w ubeckim stylu w miesięcznicę smoleńską na Placu Piłsudskiego. Rynsztok, wyzwiska, obrażanie śp. Lecha Kaczyńskiego. Czyli po prostu zaplecze Donalda Tuska.

- Today's visit has two reasons. Firstly, we wanted to show our citizens, those who are listening and watching us right now, so they can see what millions and billions of zlotys from the Polish budget are spent on. And secondly, so that the residents of our wonderful, beautiful homeland can see that we acknowledge all localities, even the smallest ones, because we believe that Poles are one great nation. Regardless of what they do, where they live, what profession they practice, they have the right to the same conditions for development, because each of us has some dreams, plans, ambitions and would like to fulfill them. Unfortunately, for many years there were such places, especially the smaller ones, that were forgotten, neglected, and investments practically did not reach them - stated Elżbieta Witek at a press briefing in Strzałkowo.

- Not millions, but billions are coming to this area. The district has received only 1.4 billion for investments in recent years. No one has ever seen such vast sums of money in local government before - she added.

- This was the second point of the meeting, and of course, if the gentlemen generals decided yesterday to submit their resignations and throw off their uniforms, such a decision will be accepted by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. From the President's perspective, the BBN considers maintaining the continuity of command and the efficiency of operations, such as the evacuation from the territory of Israel, to be absolutely crucial. This operation is coordinated by the General Command, so continuity is in no way threatened, and the actions of the entire military will be continued under new leadership, because personnel changes will take place today in the most important positions [in the Polish Armed Forces] - stated Jacek Siewiera at a press briefing.

Miało nie być węgla, gazu, zapory granicznej, a benzyna miała być po 15 złotych. Tusk widzi teraz 10 dowódców odchodzących z armii. Twórca fakenewsów. Całkowicie nieodpowiedzialny człowiek, gdy konflikt zbrojny rozgrywa się tuż za naszą granicą. https://t.co/LJwxOL9k5B

In accordance with the decision of President Andrzej Duda, General Wiesław Kukuła has been appointed to the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army, and General Maciej Klisz to the position of Operational Commander of the Branches of the Armed Forces.

- He [Donald Tusk] wants to set Poland ablaze because he is trying to use the military in political and campaign battles. It is unthinkable what the former Prime Minister is doing, who was once a Prime Minister and should know how to behave in such a situation. He is exploiting and setting Poland ablaze – stated Beata Szydło in Rzepiennik Strzyżewski.

– General, I remember our conversation many years ago. When we were sitting in the presidential palace in Wisła. In that historic seat of the head of the Polish state, gifted by the nation, we talked about responsibility for state affairs on the one hand. But on the other hand, we also spoke about the will to serve the fatherland, which is so abundant in people and which needs to be well utilized for the fatherland, that people who want to serve the fatherland deserve to be able to realize themselves and show what they are capable of. General, you have realized this over the subsequent years – said Andrzej Duda in the Presidential Palace.

– I congratulate you, General, on this nomination. It is a highly responsible position. The Chief of the General Staff is the first soldier of the Republic. It is a special situation, the one we are currently in. We know perfectly well that a war triggered by Russian aggression has been ongoing for a year and a half, right next to our border. We know that we are supporting [Ukraine], we know that there have been several very difficult moments during this time (...) Gentlemen Generals, I thank you immensely for the past few days. When decisions about evacuation, about rescuing our compatriots from Israel, had to be made literally within minutes – he added.

- Five days before the election, there is no breakthrough – according to an Ipsos poll for OKO.press and TOK FM. Support for PiS remains unchanged. Who will have a majority after the election will be decided by the proportions of support between the Third Way, the Left, and Confederation. According to Ipsos, Confederation has stopped falling – reports OKO.press.

PIS – 36% (no change from September 26)

Civic Coalition (KO) – 28% (-1)

Confederation – 9% (+2)

Third Way – 8% (n.c.)

The Left – 8% (-2)

Non-Party Local Government Officials – 2% (+1)

Other Party – 1% (+1)

Too Close to Call – 9% (n.c.)

- When two generals decided to shed their Polish Army uniforms, their successors were immediately appointed. These are experienced commanders, commanders who have led both on missions abroad and within Poland. They guarantee that the modernization of the Polish Army, the largest in history, will proceed smoothly, thus we will strengthen the Polish Army both in terms of numbers, meaning new military units will be established, especially in the eastern part of our country, and we will also strengthen the Polish Army in terms of equipping it with modern weaponry. We are aware of the threats facing Poland. For two years, a hybrid attack on Poland has been carried out from the territory of Belarus. Russia has attacked Ukraine, and a regular war is being waged at our border. Two days ago, war broke out again in the Middle East, which may result, certainly will result, in another wave of migration or subsequent waves of migration heading towards Europe. To stop these trends and mitigate threats, our task is to create a strong Polish Army, and I assure you that we will carry out this task, and we will not back down from its realization - stated Mariusz Błaszczak during a press briefing.

- There is also no consent for involving the Polish Army in the election campaign. Today Tusk lied by saying that 10 high-ranking officers resigned from the General Command. This information is false. The goal of presenting such information was likely a desire to cause chaos and confusion. I remind you - in a situation where a war is being waged at Poland's borders. Other opposition representatives are acting similarly. This is reprehensible behavior - the Minister of National Defence continued.

- It is from the opposition's lists that retired generals are running, it is at opposition rallies that retired generals participate. These are the same generals who were instrumental in the liquidation of military units when Poland was governed by the PO-PSL coalition - he emphasized.

- Tomorrow before noon, I will publicly make a proposal concerning the position of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland - Sławomir Mentzen wrote on Twitter.

Jutro przed południem złożę publicznie propozycję, dotyczącą stanowiska premiera RP.

— Sławomir Mentzen (@SlawomirMentzen) October 10, 2023

- It's hard for me to assess my competitors other than through what I heard, and here I saw Donald Tusk get very nervous, sweat, and be completely shaken, because when very specific questions were asked, and everyone knew these questions, in the sense of the areas, we all knew exactly the same about what areas would be covered, he couldn't really say anything about unemployment, how to fight it further, about poverty that prevailed during the Third Polish Republic, about pensions, about this whole big social policy - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".

- Hundreds of thousands of illegal Muslim immigrants may soon depart from the Gaza Strip. Terrorists could also be hiding among them. Please consider the immense risk we will have to face. PiS is speaking clearly – vote in the referendum, it is a very important democratic act, and those who prevaricate, hiding their actual intentions, plans, and desires, unfortunately, are not behaving appropriately, because we are only asking Poles to express their opinion on the barrier, on the wall at the border with Belarus, and what they think about illegal immigration – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on the program “Gość Wiadomości” on TVP Info.

- The arrangements are such that we immediately made a decision with the President two days ago to issue the appropriate dispositions and fly to retrieve our citizens. Poland does not abandon its citizens. During the war in Donbas, 200 or 300 Polish citizens begged to be taken from there. Do you remember how long it took to bring our compatriots back from there? As far as I recall, it was about 2 or 3 months. Here, in 2-3 days, we have already brought back over 800 people to Poland, organizing an air bridge from Tel Aviv to Crete. From there, civilian planes are flying to Poland - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

- Lithuanians are our wonderful friends. We have many common topics and our views on strategic issues surrounding us are almost identical, so we will try to help them too. However, first and foremost, it is worth emphasizing that we are cementing our alliance in NATO, and we need it very much in connection with the war in Ukraine and the Russian threat - stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on the program "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

- It will be a very big deal, which I will reveal tomorrow before noon – said Sławomir Mentzen on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- We have not yet decided whether Krzysztof Bosak will be our candidate for the Marshal. Indeed, such plans are being discussed, and it cannot be denied that among all potential MPs of the next term, Krzysztof Bosak seems to be the best candidate here – he continued.

- I sincerely apologize, but when Waldemar Pawlak was Prime Minister, was he a candidate for the parliamentary majority? Was the PSL the largest club in the Sejm then? – he added.

- The Chief of the General Staff has stopped issuing decisions in the General Staff. Because Błaszczak issued decisions bypassing Andrzejczak, this is a complete scandal – stated Sławomir Mentzen on "Gość Wydarzeń" Polsat News.

- PiS did everything they could to alienate the military, and now a very important matter. I believe it should not be the case that the most important generals in Poland can say from one day to the next that they are resigning from service. Even someone with a contract with a football club cannot leave from one day to the next. Unfortunately, Polish law allows for such a thing – he continued.

- Where did they come from? They came from the Territorial Defence Force (WOT). They promised that by 2019 there would be 53,000 soldiers in the WOT, of which 3,500 would be professional. They didn't deliver on this. It was supposed to be in 2019, and to this day we only have 35,000 (...). What's more, neither one nor the other has ever commanded a brigade, never commanded a division, never even served in the staff of a large unit. What connects these two gentlemen is that they are very politically subservient to PiS – he added.

- We are campaigning all the time, and I am really accelerating at the end. In the last two days, I will visit ten cities. On Thursday, I start in Gdańsk, then I fly to Szczecin, and Łódź. I will be flying by helicopter, otherwise I wouldn't make it, so I will be in Gdańsk, Szczecin, Łódź, Poznań, and Warsaw on Thursday. And on Friday, I will start the day in Lublin, then Rzeszów, Wrocław, Katowice, and we will finish with a big rally in Krakow – said Sławomir Mentzen in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
