Petru:

I'm Not a Fan of 0% Mortgages, But I Don't Want to Ruin Coalition Relations
- I have never been a proponent of artificially low interest rates [on loans], because that only causes an increase in housing prices, not a greater quantity of them. I am a proponent of having more land for construction... personally, I am not a proponent of [0% housing loans], but I do not want to spoil the relations between coalition partners - Ryszard Petru said on RMF FM.

07:45

PiS:

We Will Be a Firm, Substantive, Constructive Opposition. We Do Not Intend to Repeat What Civic Platform Did, Becoming a Total Opposition to the United Right Government

- No, there is no such plan; we will be a firm, substantive, constructive opposition. An opposition that will present its proposals, that will keep a close eye on the authorities, if we are that opposition. Because I am still counting on the fact that after entrusting the mission of forming a government to a representative of the winning party, as a result of talks between PiS, it will be possible to govern – stated Marek Ast on PR24.

- At least talks should be undertaken, and what will emerge from these talks will only become clear then. However, of course, this scenario cannot be ruled out that PiS will be an opposition party, and then it will be as I said. We do not intend in any way to repeat what Civic Platform did, becoming a total opposition to the United Right government – he continued.


07:45

Ast:

I See No Reason Why PiS Wouldn't Nominate Morawiecki to the President as Candidate for Prime Minister

- I think the President will make decisions based on his own judgment, and if the current opposition parties, and perhaps the parliamentary majority in a moment, pass laws that harm the good of society or threaten state security, then he will likely make decisions to veto them, just as he vetoed laws passed by the current majority – Marek Ast said on PR24.

- I see no reason why PiS wouldn't nominate Mateusz Morawiecki to the President as the candidate for Prime Minister – he added.


08:30

Buda:

If Needed, I'm Ready to Pack My Bags in a Day

- When I came in, I said that at any moment I am ready to leave the ministry for other tasks, to go to a different front. I have no problem with that whatsoever. If needed, I am ready to pack my bags in a day. The only thing is, I have a cat named Marcelinka, and I'm wondering what to do with her - stated Waldemar Buda on the program "Graffiti" on Polsat News.


08:33

Buda:

Democracy Means Governments Change

- Even if it turns out that the opposition is indeed forming a government, believe me, democracy means governments change. We have won eight elections, and the third in terms of parliamentary elections, we achieved a gigantic success. If the opposition gains a majority and forms a government, then so be it. Nobody treats this as some kind of dramatic defeat, so be it - stated Waldemar Buda in the "Graffiti" program on Polsat News.


08:36

Petru:

The First Thing to Do After Taking Power is Next Year's Budget. It's Unrealistic
- The first thing that needs to be addressed immediately after taking power is the issue of next year's budget. It is unrealistic, it has a huge deficit, we have a mass of money outside the state budget, with enormous debt reaching 465 billion PLN [...]. The problems are immense, we have chaos after the 'Polish Deal', very many entrepreneurs are paying significantly higher taxes than before, so there are many things to sort out, and Poles voted for the opposition because they want changes for the better - said Ryszard Petru in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Interview".

08:38

Buda:

It's not out of the question that such laxity, lack of consensus, even arguments will arise that one of the parties will come and say: I prefer to be with PiS

- Declarations are one thing. Similarly, there was supposed to be an agreement in the opposition, but it turns out that they disagree with each other on most issues. Discussions are taking place on the other side, and it's not out of the question that such laxity, lack of consensus, even arguments will arise that one of the parties will come and say: I prefer to be with PiS, because it's impossible to reach an agreement there - stated Waldemar Buda in the program "Graffiti" on Polsat News.


08:43

Kidawa-Błońska:

I haven't spoken with Tusk about taking up the Senate Marshal position
- It's a short answer - no - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio ZET, when asked if she had spoken with Donald Tusk about taking up the position of Senate Marshal. - I would really like there to be a stable government, because we have a lot of work to do. And what task I will receive from my colleagues, other parliamentarians - we will see. [...] Today, the most important thing is that the party leaders reach an agreement - she continued.

08:44

Petru:

We Need Fewer Ministries Than Under PiS. I'm Not in Favor of Moving Them Outside Warsaw
- As a rule, we need to have fewer ministries than there were under PiS. [...] I am not in favor of moving ministries outside the borders of Warsaw; it makes no sense. The point is that people should meet and talk to each other, not travel and fly, in order for it to be effective - said Ryszard Petru on RMF FM.

08:54

Skurkiewicz Suggests Date for First Sejm Session

- I will discuss [whether the victory was Pyrrhic] after the first Sejm session. I think it will be around November 13th or 14th, because that's when the Marshal of the Sejm and the Sejm presidium will be elected, and then it will become clear how this parliamentary majority will shape up - stated Wojciech Skurkiewicz on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) PR1.


09:03

Kidawa-Błońska:

Tusk Will Be Prime Minister, We'll Agree on the Rest
- It is most natural [for Donald Tusk to become Prime Minister]; he is the leader of the largest opposition party. Donald Tusk's contribution to awakening our society, convincing them that change is worthwhile, the October 1st march, the June 4th march, and these crowds at the polls – it's all his hard work - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska on "Gość Radia ZET". - Mr. President should nominate as Prime Minister a person who represents the parliamentary majority. The parliamentary majority consists of opposition parties and Donald Tusk - she continued. - I cannot imagine any of the opposition party leaders wanting to prevent the removal of PiS from power through their objections, when there is a real chance for it, because Poles wanted this - she stated, referring to the pre-election announcements of representatives of the Razem party, who ruled out the possibility of Tusk taking the position of Prime Minister. - These are serious people. […] Someone has to take responsibility. Tusk is the leader of the largest party, which brought the most people into the Sejm. Yes [he should be Prime Minister] - she added. - This is precisely the [issue of the Speaker of the Sejm position] that leaders should discuss and present a package for the division of positions. […] Do you remember what our coalition with PSL looked like? There was a division of positions there - she continued. - People are happy that PiS can be removed from power. Party leaders have a problem on their hands – they have to execute all of this. For a few days now, everyone has been interested not in how to make this and that change, but in who will be whom. Donald Tusk will be Prime Minister, and we will agree on the rest - she emphasized.

09:12

Kidawa-Błońska:

Worldview matters shouldn't be included in the coalition agreement. However, Poles want the abortion issue to be resolved.
- In my opinion, worldview matters shouldn't be included [in the coalition agreement], but there's something that individual parties went to the elections with and what they promised their voters. We also heard what Poles are saying on the streets. So this voice should be heard - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska on „Gość Radia ZET”. - We will all have to yield to Poles. Do you remember the women's protests, the slogans from all the demonstrations. Poles want this matter [abortion] to be resolved. Polish women want to feel safe, and we as politicians must see this through - she continued. - The coalition agreement is one thing, various things can be written into them. I am generally afraid of such very detailed coalition agreements, because details are always the most difficult, but I know that these matters need to be resolved sooner or later - she further stated.

09:14

Gawkowski:

If PiS Had Taken Those 2 Million Votes from the Left, They Would Be in Power in Poland

- People knew we would win these elections together, so they shifted their votes between Civic Platform, the Left, and The Third Way. There will be time for such deep analyses, because it is clear that we lost votes somewhere. Great recognition for all those 11.6 million votes. 11.6 is what we received, with the Left's share being close to 2 million votes, meaning without these 2 million, there would be no governance. If PiS had taken those 2 million votes from the Left, then Law and Justice would be in power in Poland - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski in an interview with Marek Pyza on the program "Kwadrans Polityczny" on TVP1.


09:14

Gawkowski:

The party that won in opposition should nominate a prime minister candidate. This is quite natural for me.

- The party that won in opposition, which has the largest share of opposition seats, should nominate a candidate for prime minister. This is quite natural for me - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski on TVP1.


09:15

Gawkowski:

Time Will Tell Who Holds Which Position. We Will Choose Speakers Earlier

- Time will tell who holds which position. I believe we will choose the Speaker of the Sejm and the Speaker of the Senate earlier - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski on TVP1.


09:15

Gawkowski:

The First Decision the Government Should Tackle is Bringing EU Funds to Poland

- I believe that if the opposition takes over the government, the first decision the government should address should be to ensure that money from the European Union, Polish money in Brussels, is in Poland and can work here to reduce inflation and improve the economy – stated Krzysztof Gawkowski on TVP1.


09:17

Gawkowski:

Neither the Left wants to break Kosiniak-Kamysz's spine, nor is there a prospect for Władek to break ours

- Neither the Left wants to break Władek Kosiniak-Kamysz's spine or that of other PSL politicians, nor do I think there is a prospect for Władek to break our spine. Everyone in this coalition will be satisfied - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski on TVP1.


09:24

Kidawa-Błońska:

There's a Scenario to Create Public Media. We Need Parliament, a Government, and Everything Will Happen Very Quickly
- Today I won't tell you about it, but there is a scenario that will allow us to create – because there's nothing left to rebuild – public media that will be of great importance in informing our society, educating, and introducing culture. Since we don't have public media […], we need to make them public, so that citizens have influence over what they are like - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska on 'Gość Radia ZET'. - We need Parliament, a government, and everything will happen very quickly. […] All opposition parties agree on how this needs to be done, and it will be done - she added.

09:59

Pasławska:

Decomposition of the Political Right Imminent; PiS MPs May Seek 'Good Change'

- There will be no talks. Law and Justice is prepared to buy politicians, as they did for 8 years, but they certainly won't find such politicians in the Polish People's Party. As for talks with Law and Justice politicians, I believe that the decomposition of the political right will occur in the near future, and it's possible that MPs from PiS, the United Right, will be looking for 'good change' and will be righteous and just, wanting to strengthen the ruling party - said Urszula Pasławska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


10:29

Czarnecki:

Difficult to Imagine Our Coalition with Poland 2050 or the Left

- First, PiS will attempt to form a government, because I believe President Andrzej Duda will respect this custom. I've just finished writing an article on this topic; indeed, it is the only practical possibility, as it's difficult to imagine our coalition with Poland 2050 or the Left - stated Ryszard Czarnecki in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on the program "Sedno sprawy" on Radio Plus.


10:30

Czarnecki:

Opposition Will Gain a Majority in the Sejm, Form a Government, But We Will Attempt It First

- In my opinion, the opposition should take a little dose of Neospasmin, calm down. The opposition will gain a majority in the Sejm, will have a government, but we will attempt it first - stated Ryszard Czarnecki on the programme "Sedno sprawy" on Radio Plus.


11:35

PKO:

Consumer Sentiment Steadily Improving
Consumer sentiment is steadily improving. In October, both current assessments and expectations increased, most strongly those concerning the current financial situation of households and the country's economic situation. This is a result of decreasing inflation and improving real incomes. The leading indicator has returned to levels seen two years ago. This aligns with the consumer demand recovery we anticipate, according to PKO analysts.

13:40

Hołownia:

We Promised to Refresh the Sejm, and We've Done It
- We managed to do something we didn't think possible two weeks ago, though we believed it was achievable to this extent. Not only have we removed Kaczyński and his entire harmful political group and force from power, but we have also introduced entirely new, fresh blood into the Sejm, fulfilling our promise. We promised to refresh the Sejm, and we have done it - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference. - 33 members of parliament and 5 senators [...] that's a team of 38 people, of whom 75% have never sat in parliament before. We promised new people, and these are new people. Over 40% of our female MPs are women. This is again a new quality in the Polish parliament. We have the youngest MP in our team, Adam Gomoła - he continued.

13:46

Hołownia:

The Third Way as a Political Project Continues. If There Are Two Clubs, Both Will Be Named "Third Way"
- The Third Way as a political project is ongoing, it is being continued. We want to continue this project after the elections, that is our shared will. We are considering how to do this in the most technically advantageous way for us; if there is one club, there will be one, if there are two clubs, both will be named "Third Way" and will be bound by a federal agreement. This would be a precedent in the Polish Sejm, but it is possible. We are working with lawyers to find the best formal path to continue this project - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

13:50

Hołownia:

If Anyone Wants New Elections, You're Welcome. We'll Have 307 Seats, Not 248
- If anyone wants to hold new elections in a country that has just had an election with a 74% turnout, which doesn't even occur in countries with mandatory voting, we cordially invite them to take such an action. It will be a waste of money, but we will have 307 seats, not 248, and that's how their political strategies and tensions will end - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

13:56

Hołownia on the Coalition Agreement Excluding Worldview Issues: It's a Good Idea
- Yes, I believe it's a good idea [for the coalition agreement not to include worldview issues]. We also agreed, for example, even in the previous, one might say, parliament, that on worldview matters, everyone votes according to their own conscience, not according to the conscience of the Speaker. We will stick to this within our parliamentary club, and we will also stick to this within the coalition. We believe it's not a good idea for us to now, at the beginning of new, democratic governance, to completely quarrel over matters on which there will never be agreement among us, because each of us has a conscience shaped in a different way - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

14:01

Hołownia:

The Marshal of the Sejm Position is within the Third Way's Interest, Which We've Communicated to Our Partners
- The position of Marshal of the Sejm, like a couple of ministries, for example, which we care about, is within the pool of interest for the Third Way, which we have communicated to our partners. However, they have also naturally presented their own ideas on this matter, and we will be discussing it. I can assure you that we will certainly avoid a scandalous public fight for positions and we will reach an agreement. I will not die for the Marshal of the Sejm position for the Third Way, nor for the Deputy Prime Minister position for PSL, nor for the Marshal of the Senate position for Civic Platform - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

14:18

Gajewska:

Police Have Now Launched Disciplinary Proceedings Against Officers Who Dragged Me to the Patrol Car

- Police have now launched disciplinary proceedings against the officers who dragged me to the patrol car in Otwock. A wind of change - Kinga Gajewska informed on Twitter.


15:38

Kołodziejczak:

What kind of victorious camp starts dividing immediately after elections?
I am convinced that he will entrust [the premiership] to Donald Tusk. If we approach this from the perspective that the president should behave like a human being, then yes. He will play for time, he might first, of course, appoint the victorious camp, but when the victorious camp can divide itself. Zbigniew Ziobro might leave for his own caucus, Paweł Kukiz might gather his remnants of Kukiz’15 and also form his own caucus, then suddenly the winning camp will have a smaller club than Civic Coalition. So what kind of victorious camp is this, which starts dividing immediately after the elections? – stated Michał Kołodziejczak in a conversation with Marcin Zawada on the program “Onet RANO”.

15:39

Kołodziejczak on Hołownia's Words: Some Regret Remains. Why Should I Get Upset That Someone Wants to Build Political Capital on Not Agreeing With Me?

- If I were to remember such things, such matters [referring to Szymon Hołownia's words about Kołodziejczak], then one truly has to be petty, and honestly, I don't want to refer to it, deepen any conflicts that existed, or build them at all, because I don't believe they did. I understand that during an election campaign, one can say various things about political opponents, and that's how Szymon Hołownia perceived me, whereas I had Hennig-Kloska in my constituency too. She never spared bitter words towards me, and I managed for several weeks not to respond at all, even though I could have spoken about her negatively – stated Michał Kołodziejczak in Onet.

- Some regret remains that someone says such things, especially since they are baseless, but why should I get upset that someone wants to build political capital on not agreeing with me. Let Szymon see how much Civic Coalition and Donald Tusk have gained from us being together, that I received half the votes more than my competitor from Poland 2050 compared to her – he added.


15:41

Kołodziejczak on TVP Journalists: These People Must Voluntarily Submit to Punishment, Apologize, Clearly State They Lied, and Then Exit the Media Sphere

- For me, it's a regret that it turned out this way, and there should be no mercy for anyone who constantly made things difficult for the democratic opposition. I wouldn't spare practically anyone who behaved inhumanely. [Major Purge at TVP] Yes, exemplary punishment so that no one ever thinks they can behave like Rachon, Holecka - stated Michał Kołodziejczak in Onet.

- Being fired would be a reward for them; they could continue. They clearly contributed to society in Poland being divided. They must bear responsibility for this. Today, I would demand full responsibility and consequences for their behavior [...] These people must voluntarily submit to punishment, apologize, clearly state that they lied, and then exit the media sphere - he added.


16:53

Bartoszewski:

We will form a coalition as soon as the President deems that someone from the opposition should try to form a government

- Enough bickering, let's move forward. We will form a coalition now, as soon as the President deems that someone from the opposition should try to form a government. By common sense, the second step should be the first. This is because one should not give the mission of forming a government to someone who clearly cannot form such a government. The President has the right to do so, and therefore, he probably will - stated Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski on PR24.


17:02

Bartoszewski on the KPO: Work can begin on the Supreme Court Act. It could be the first bill to enter the Sejm
- You can't unblock money under the KPO in a single day. However, there is a chance to unblock this money, but nothing happens overnight. There are various ways, you can start working on the Supreme Court Act - stated Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski on PR24. - It could be the first bill to enter the Sejm. I am not a supporter of rushing bills through, as the PiS government did, where a bill was passed within 24 hours - he added.

17:42

Hennig-Kloska:

The United Right is Incapable of Building a Majority. It's a Delay Tactic to Allow Time for Clearing Drawers and Burning Files
- They know very well that as the United Right government, they are currently unable to build a parliamentary majority and a stable majority government in the new parliament. Of course, this is just a delay tactic, buying time to clear out drawers, cabinets, and burn files – said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio ZET's "Guest" program.

17:50

Hennig-Kloska:

Leaders have had initial talks. The faster we reach an agreement, the less room for President Duda to create chaos
- Leaders are in contact with each other, they have had initial talks. Of course, the less we discuss this in the media and the more we work behind the scenes, the faster an agreement will be reached. And the faster we work out an agreement and create a proposal for a new government, a cabinet, the less room President Duda will have to create chaos - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska on "Gość Radia ZET".

17:56

Hennig-Kloska:

The Prime Minister Should Be Tusk or Someone He Designates
- A representative of the party that has received the greatest social mandate and is simultaneously ready and capable of forming a majority government. Such a grouping is today Civic Platform. [...] This is of course always the decision of the party leader [...] which in this case is Donald Tusk. So either him, or a person designated by him. This is natural respect for the voters' decision - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in "Gość Radia ZET", when asked who should become the prime minister of the new government.

18:13

Hennig-Kloska:

If Duda and PiS want to fight the nation that made its decision in the elections, I can imagine a different situation on the streets
- If Duda and PiS want to fight the nation that made its decision in the recent elections, then I can imagine a different situation on the streets. […] I mean, of course, solely that if PiS were to attempt to cling to power by force, people will not agree to it, and I can imagine social opposition. […] Since citizens responded so massively to our appeal to participate in the elections and expressed their support for the democratic opposition quite decisively, I think they will not agree to any tricks and schemes by the Presidential Palace and United Right - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in "Gość Radia ZET".

18:39

Hennig-Kloska:

PiS Passed the 800+ Law But Left No Funds for It. This Will Require Government-Level Talks on What to Do
- The indexation of 500+ was adopted by the Sejm with a PiS majority, but the money for it is not in the budget, and this will also require – as we have been saying – government-level talks on what to do with this problem. The problem is that they adopted a law but didn't leave any money for it. Indexation of 500+ funded by debt will fuel inflation; this is a huge problem for all of us – said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in „Gość Radia ZET”.

18:58

Hennig-Kloska on the 60,000 PLN Tax-Free Allowance: "The Budget is Empty and in High Deficit; Such Demands Will Be Problematic. I Don't Know PO's Calculations."
- How will local governments receive compensation for lost revenue after raising the tax-free allowance from January to 60,000 PLN? asked Beata Lubecka on "Gość Radia ZET". - You should ask PO about that, because it is PO's demand. We are aware that the budget is empty and in high deficit, and such demands will be problematic - replied Paulina Hennig-Kloska. - It wasn't our demand, it's PO's demand. I understand they have it calculated somehow. I don't know those calculations. However, as I said, the new parliament must start work on the budget, and there will certainly be significant shifts between individual goals, for example, I cannot imagine funding for public television in the amount of almost 3 billion PLN currently - continued the Vice-Chairperson of Poland 2050. - We will certainly not support such plans and solutions that increase state debt, because these are permanent commitments that must be covered by the budget law. So we will wait for proposals from our coalition partner in this regard - she added.

19:10

Leszczyna on PiS: They Hid Morawiecki's Giant Budget Hole Before the Elections

- PiS are fraudsters: they hid Morawiecki's giant budget hole before the elections - wrote Izabela Leszczyna on Twitter.


19:51

Czarnek:

I expect the President to appoint a Prime Minister from the winning party, PiS
- It is a custom and also a constitutional premise that the President of the Republic of Poland, although he has full discretion in this matter, of course, entrusts the mission of forming a government to a representative of the winning grouping. It has probably never happened yet, under this Constitution, of course [...] that the main party which aspires to form a government, the party that won and which was ahead of the second party by a million votes and by several million other parties [...] I expect that Mr. President will designate the Prime Minister and appoint the Prime Minister from the winning party, i.e. Law and Justice - said Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski in the program "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) on Polsat News.

19:52

Czarnek:

Trzaskowski Should Discuss Crimes and Frauds at His Own City Hall
- President Trzaskowski should discuss crimes and frauds at his own city hall, about why his closest associate Włodzimierz K. is currently in prison on charges of accepting a 5 million zloty bribe, a man who effectively governed Warsaw and who led to this type of situation under Mr. Trzaskowski's watch. Therefore, Mr. Trzaskowski is probably the last person who could speak of any frauds or crimes in our government, which there were none of, and he really shouldn't be talking about this topic at all - said Przemysław Czarnek on Polsat News.

19:53

Czarnek:

I told PSL activists that if PiS had never existed, I would probably have considered operating within a party like the PSL
- I used to go to these PSL activists, who on many occasions told me they held exactly the same views, and I told them openly that if Law and Justice had never been founded, and if I hadn't been a member of Law and Justice, I would probably have considered operating within a party like the Polish People's Party, a peasant, populist, conservative, Christian party, because that's what it is, despite the mistakes it made in the past - said Przemysław Czarnek on Polsat News.

19:58

Czarnek:

Sole rule was practically impossible. Confederation failed to deliver a good result, which would have facilitated negotiations.
- In my opinion, sole rule was practically impossible, and if it were possible, we gave ourselves a small percentage of a chance, but not much. Please note that we have been the ruling party for eight years [...] and under very difficult conditions during the last term, the pandemic, the war, billions of zlotys that had to be allocated for various shields, aid, subsidies, etc., it definitely wears down a ruling party, so it seems that a result of 35.5% with such a high voter turnout as we saw is a good assessment of our governance, despite everything. The fact that Confederation failed to deliver a good result, which would have facilitated government negotiations, is another matter - said Przemysław Czarnek on Polsat News.

20:11

Bodnar:

We Will Likely Have a New Government by the End of November
I feel that the mission of forming a government will indeed be entrusted to Prime Minister Morawiecki. Even if it contradicts logic. Even if it contradicts political reasoning. Because it's known that PiS did not win these elections. Nominally, perhaps so. But these three parties and these three groups of democratic opposition ran together and want to form a government together. However, as I understand it, the aim is to prolong the process, to prevent a simple victory. A simple seizure of power – said Adam Bodnar on the program "Fakty po faktach" on TVN24. Having control of parliament in a constitutional democracy system gives a great deal. Therefore, I think the president absolutely must be aware of this situation. And we will probably have a new government by the end of November – he continued.

20:12

Bodnar:

The First and Foremost Goal is the Restoration of the Rule of Law, Crucial for Recovering KPO Funds and Citizen Trust in the State

- The first and most important goal is the restoration of the rule of law. Adopting all the necessary laws that are already prepared. They are waiting to simply start working on them and bring them to adoption by the Sejm. Because this is important not only from the perspective of regaining citizens' trust in the state, but also from the perspective of finally recovering funds from the KPO – said Adam Bodnar on TVN24.


20:15

Sienkiewicz:

All stories suggesting Duda could rise above his current political approach in office, I consider naive and false
We will see what the president's final decision will be. As for the president, since the lex Tusk affair, and indeed our conversation in this studio, I have no illusions. All stories suggesting President Duda could rise above the current way of conducting politics in this office, I consider naive and false. President Duda is part of the Law and Justice party and will act until the last day of his presidency as if he were still a Law and Justice official. No illusions about President Duda - stated Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz in an interview with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program "Kropka nad i".

20:40

Bodnar Suggests Topics for Parliamentary Inquiry Committees

- I've been thinking about what new, ordinary inquiry committees should be established. I believe the most important one would be a committee on postal elections. I think the 2020 situation, where the elections simply did not take place and no one was held accountable, is one of the most significant failures of recent years. The second would be a committee on Pegasus – stated Adam Bodnar on RMF FM.
