Today and tomorrow, at the invitation of President Andrzej Duda, consultations will be held at the Presidential Palace with representatives of individual electoral committees that will be represented in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland of the 10th term. The meetings will be held separately with each electoral committee, in an order consistent with the results achieved by these committees in the elections.

For today, meetings have been scheduled with representatives of the Law and Justice Electoral Committee - at 12:00 PM and the Civic Coalition PO .N IPL Greens - at 2:00 PM.

As announced by Michał Kobosko on Radio Zet, a declaration from three formations regarding a coalition government will be presented today. - We know the calendar regarding the invitations to the President for consultations; we know they begin tomorrow at noon. It is very good that the leaders have agreed that tomorrow [Tuesday] there will be a joint declaration before the consultations begin. Initially, such a joint appearance is planned for 10:00 AM – he said yesterday on Radio Zet.

Before the consultations with the head of state, at 11:00 AM, Andrzej Duda will appoint Marcin Mastaler as the head of the presidential cabinet.

- This will be everything that is written in the constitution. So, the initiative lies with the President of the Republic. And I believe that the democratic custom that exists in Poland will be upheld. It consists of the winning political party undertaking the mission of forming a government. PiS won the elections, PiS clearly won. Therefore, I believe that the President will make such a decision – stated Mariusz Błaszczak on PR1.

- The only real answer is a strong Polish Army. It must be numerous, at least 300,000 soldiers, and it must be armed with modern weapons. So such announcements, whether open or half-hearted, suggesting that contracts concluded during the time PiS was in power will be terminated. They harm Poland – stated Mariusz Błaszczak on PR1.

- For 3 years, I have spoken with representatives of the PSL many times, including in their offices; I have never hidden this. Our cooperation on many levels was very good and will continue to be very good. What will come of it, I don't know – stated Przemysław Czarnek on the program „Gość Radia Zet”.

- If Tusk's government is formed, illegal migration will surely be present in Poland. If the PSL were to join forces with PiS, and not with PO, then there would be no illegal migration, no immigrants from North Africa. If they join with the Civic Platform, then it's Weber's condition to let them into Poland - stated Przemysław Czarnek in the program "Gość Radia Zet".

- Marcin Mastalerek will assume the office of Secretary of State, and will simultaneously be responsible for political affairs as well as communication matters, overseeing the press office. You are all, of course, invited to observe this ceremony. At 12:00 PM, representatives of the PiS electoral committee will arrive at the Presidential Palace at the President’s invitation for consultations, announced a few days ago, on the most important state matters facing Poland today. The President will discuss concepts, ideas, and challenges facing the entire political class today. On one hand, these will be discussions about security, the economy, and future investments, but the conversation will also concern the post-election parliamentary shuffle. The President faces the decision regarding the designation of a new prime minister; in accordance with the Constitution, it is the President who indicates a candidate for prime minister, who will then have to gain the support of a parliamentary majority - stated Marcin Przydacz at a press briefing.

- It is the President who will decide and publicly indicate a specific date regarding the new Sejm session, but as I have said, also based on the provisions of the Polish Constitution, because the Constitution regulates these matters quite precisely. On the one hand, it points to the 4-year term of the previous Sejm, and on the other hand, it gives certain timeframes for the appointment or convocation of the next Sejm session, 30 days after the elections. At this stage, we are only a little over ten days after the elections. The National Electoral Commission has of course announced the election results, but of course this Thursday, in a few days, certificates of election will be presented, and for the Sejm to be able to make concrete decisions, the MPs must take the appropriate oath. Without taking the oath, it is impossible to assume the mandate, so the President will act here based on these constitutional provisions. At the moment when he makes the decision and is ready to present this candidacy in a public sense, the President will of course do so, and consequently, the Sejm session and the vote of confidence - stated Marcin Przydacz at a press briefing.

- The Polish state functions continuously, and the Polish administration, both the President as Head of State, the highest representative of the Polish state, and the legislative power, function continuously and deal with matters most important for public life in Poland. Therefore, this discussion, I hope a deepened, serious, constructive discussion, will concern these most important matters. On the one hand, of course, security issues. It is impossible not to talk about it today; we have a very unstable situation east of our borders, but we also have an unstable situation in the Middle East, we have a migration crisis, there are various internal tensions within the European Union, so the discussion will certainly cover these. However, the discussion at the President's invitation will also concern internal matters – stated Marcin Przydacz at a press briefing.

- The economic situation, future investments, social policy – everything that has been achieved over the last 8 years, including through presidential decisions, will be the subject of today's discussion. Because after the elections, each political option may have its own ideas. They were presented during the election campaign, but as we know, the election campaign also has its own rules. Sometimes certain topics are more sharply emphasized, others less so. Sometimes the discussion or even criticism is conducted in a different emotional tone. Today is the time to seriously talk about the future of Poland – he added.

The 3W Congress begins on November 27th. This two-day conference is the largest gathering of experts focused on technologies related to water, hydrogen, and elemental carbon.

What is the 3W Idea?

And what about this year?

KGHM has signed a letter of intent for cooperation with the Territorial Defence Forces (WOT) – the copper company and WOT are planning joint communication initiatives and defense training. The agreement also includes cooperation between instructors and promotional activities regarding military service.

"Matters of defense and concern for security are key issues nowadays, including for KGHM. It is worth emphasizing that among the soldiers of the Territorial Defence Forces are also our employees. This cooperation, on the one hand, gives us new development perspectives, and on the other, touches upon the most important values and ethics. We support those for whom the safety of fellow citizens is a commitment and a mission," said Tomasz Zdzikot, President of the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

"The signing of the agreement with KGHM is a continuation of the cooperation and the implementation of tasks that the Territorial Defence Forces are carrying out in the area of building the state's general defense readiness. The cooperation between WOT and KGHM will primarily have a training dimension. It will also include the exchange of experiences, and in particular, building awareness in the context of threats to the company's strategic infrastructure," said Colonel Krzysztof Stańczyk, acting Commander of the Territorial Defence Forces.

The aim of the letter of intent is cooperation regarding strengthening the defense capabilities of the Republic of Poland and promotional support for the activities of the Territorial Defence Forces. The parties will cooperate, among other things, in the area of training WOT military units with KGHM departments. Activities related to security, including medical rescue, are planned. The copper company will also co-organize and participate in ceremonies and educational projects for local communities with the military.

Recently, the copper company has also established cooperation with the Cyber Defence Forces and the Centre for Veterans of Operations Beyond State Borders.

KGHM is involved in the extraction of copper ore and other valuable metals in underground mines, with exploitable deposits located even below 1000 meters underground. The extracted ore is transported to the company's smelters and processing plants. Safety is a priority and a core value for KGHM concerning its employees, the environment, and the residents of the Copper Belt. The company promotes a culture of safe work based on employee training, the implementation of innovative technologies, and safety management systems.

The copper company also engages in local initiatives related to promoting volunteering and pro-social initiatives, including those in the area of safety, for the residents of the Copper Belt and all of Poland. In October, KGHM and the Veterans' Centre organized the Peace Run in the Copper Belt to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first participation of the Polish Armed Forces in international missions, in which over 120,000 military personnel and soldiers have participated to date.

The Territorial Defence Forces are the fifth branch of the Armed Forces, alongside the Land Forces, Air Force, Navy, and Special Forces. They were established on January 1, 2017. The mission of WOT is to defend and support local communities. The Formations' tasks directly stem from this. During wartime, the main task of WOT is to cooperate with operational troops, while during peacetime – to support crisis management operations, including counteracting and removing the effects of natural disasters. Due to the territorial nature of the formation, including serving in the area of their residence, soldiers refer to themselves as "Terytorialsi" (Territorials).

The formation is dynamically developing all the time. Soldiers are currently training within eighteen territorial defense brigades. In 2022, three new Territorial Defence Brigades were established: the 18th Warsaw Territorial Defence Brigade, the 19th Bug River Territorial Defence Brigade, and the 20th Przemyśl Territorial Defence Brigade. Directly subordinate to the WOT Command are also: the WOT Training Centre in Toruń, the Communication and IT Centre in Zegrze, and the NCO School SONDA. The formation bases its potential on volunteer soldiers who, upon joining its ranks, do not have to give up their existing activities. For the training needs of TSW soldiers, an innovative three-year training system has been implemented, designed to allow for the reconciliation of personal and professional life with military service.

- We are determined to form a majority. Today and tomorrow, we will jointly present our candidate for Prime Minister, the leader of Civic Platform, Donald Tusk, to Mr. President and assure the President that we have a majority to form a government, appoint a Marshal of the Sejm and a Marshal of the Senate. For us, this subjectivity and participation, specific areas of responsibility in the government, as well as in parliament, are very important, and we have confirmed this. There are four formations that will work together in solidarity, they will cooperate for the revival of the national community and reconciliation. This is our primary mission, to build Poland's strong, strongest position in Europe and in the world, reconciliation and cooperation among ourselves, among Poles, cooperation, respect for everyone. These are the common denominators that strongly unite us today - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during a statement in the Sejm.

Panie Prezydencie. Jaśniej się nie da. Jest demokratyczna większość w parlamencie. Ta większość ma swojego kandydata na premiera. Tu naprawdę nie ma sensu zwlekać. Polki i Polacy postawili na zmianę.

- The greatest crime of Law and Justice, apart from all the crimes of abuse and other things they have done, is that they wasted 8 years of our lives. 8 years of the lives of our loved ones, that they sent us back 50 years instead of pushing us forward, towards a future in which our children will live. That is why we are all here today, speaking with one voice, appealing to President Duda not to waste another second of our time. Our time, not the time of politicians, but of Polish men and women, is priceless. Mr. President, there is nothing to wait for. If you need to hear during consultations whether there is a majority in parliament to form a government, we inform you that there is. There is no need to delay, to scheme, to equivocate; you simply need to say clearly and distinctly, yes, the nation that elected you to this position, the sovereign who entrusted you with this mission, has spoken, and we hope that you will hear this voice, expressed with full conviction here today in this hall of the sovereign's representatives - said Szymon Hołownia during a statement in the Sejm.

- What stands before us today is a formidable challenge, a challenge that will be contained within two words that were the key and foundation of our program for Third Way. What is now to happen in Poland can be described in two words. It is a safe change. This change must happen, but it must be safe for everyone, including those to whom we sincerely thank, who previously voted for Law and Justice, who did not vote but trusted and so widely placed their hope and trust in us, entrusting it into our hands. To them, alongside a big thank you, we want to say: we hear your voice and appreciate the commitment you have placed on our shoulders. There will be change, we guarantee you that, but it will be safe for every Polish man and every Polish woman. It will be the kind of change we are waiting for, a change for the better. We know perfectly well that we need to move forward today, and that in this change we cannot become like them, because if we become like them, we will end up like them, and we are just beginning our project - he added.

- Today, standing here as a quartet, we want to clearly state that while we differ on many things, we will prepare a government for you that will be able to build these hopes, to base this hope, which you expressed with such high turnout in the elections, on a strong, solid foundation. We have agreed, through a democratic procedure, through the discussions we have held, on this majority's candidate for Prime Minister. Let no one have any doubts about that. This majority will also present its candidates for the Speaker of the Sejm, the Speaker of the Senate, and for the most important positions in the state – said Szymon Hołownia during a statement in the Sejm.

- Today, the most important thing is to proceed according to the schedule set by our Constitution. The President is waiting to hear if there is a majority in the Sejm to appoint a Prime Minister. Today, he hears from us that there is, and there is a candidate for Prime Minister. Mr. President, there is nothing to wait for, and ahead of us is a tremendous amount of work that we must do today so that you, dear voters, never feel let down by the vote you cast for us, so that you never feel that every minute you spent queuing, in long queues at polling stations, was wasted in any way. We are ready to talk to each other, to make compromises, to arrange things as needed, because I know that it is not about us, but about you and about this unprecedented readiness for change that Polish society has shown by voting in the elections of October 15th – he added.

- We haven't decided yet who will be the candidate for the Marshal of the Sejm and Senate. We decided today who will be the candidate for Prime Minister of this majority that Poles have elected, because the moment demanded it, the consultations with the President demanded it, and the process he initiated. Now he holds the cards, but there will be time for further decisions - said Szymon Hołownia in the program "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of the Events) on Polsat News.

- The Left also has various ideas and proposals, we will see, we will discuss it. Proposals for a Left-Wing Marshal of the Senate appeared in the media; it's not a bad idea. We will see how the next stages of our talks unfold - said Szymon Hołownia in the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
