Wednesday's Political Agenda: Constitutional Tribunal on June Pensions, Presidential Couple at President's Award Gala

At 9:00 AM, a hearing of the Constitutional Tribunal concerning the so-called June pensions is scheduled – it was originally supposed to take place last week. According to forecasts, an unfavorable verdict for the government could cost the state budget 2.8 billion PLN.

At 12:00 PM, at the Presidential Palace, President Andrzej Duda and his wife Agata Kornhauser–Duda will participate in the final gala of the 8th edition of the President of the Republic of Poland Award "For the Common Good."

Joński:

A Grand Heist is Underway, Duda Knows Perfectly Well Morawiecki Won't Form a Government, But He's Buying PiS Time to Distribute Funds

- The mechanism is simple: when you don't know what it's about, it's about huge amounts of money. So, grants, various subsidies, and additionally, jobs. In other words, they want to secure themselves. President Duda knows perfectly well that Morawiecki will not form any government, but he is giving PiS these few weeks to, on one hand, destroy documents, and on the other, to secure themselves with larger severance packages, extend their contracts, and pay out various sums of money. Additionally, all these institutes they have established are currently organizing major competitions to further distribute our money. So, a grand heist is underway – stated Dariusz Joński on RMF24.

07:51

Joński:

PiS Created a Justice System So No PiS Politician Would Face Consequences

- The PiS government created a justice system so that no PiS politician would answer to the justice system. That is, the Prosecutor General, who is Minister Ziobro, structured the prosecution service in such a way that if anyone filed [a report with the prosecution], as we did, where there was an evident crime, everything was swept under the rug. No PiS politician in the last 8 years has been charged, nor has anyone answered for any scandal – Dariusz Joński said on RMF24.

07:52

Joński:

Glapiński Should Stand Before the State Tribunal

- There are several possibilities. Firstly, we want to build an independent prosecution service. Because people expect state bodies to function effectively and to have confidence in them. Secondly, investigative committees, there is agreement that such investigative committees should be established so that people can see what has happened over the last 8 years – stated Dariusz Joński on RMF24.

- But we have a parliamentary committee on constitutional responsibility, and here we can talk about constitutional responsibility and the State Tribunal. Let's remember, there are 115 signatures for the motion itself. While we're on this topic, the name of President Glapiński also appears, who, in our opinion, not only broke the law. But members of the Monetary Policy Council have reported this before, and now additionally, a member of the Management Board of the National Bank of Poland says how the president is breaking the law, so such a person should stand before the State Tribunal – he continued.

08:01

Kotula:

PiS Had a Plan to Destabilize Yesterday's Sejm Session
- Professionalism, composure, and what Marshal Szymon Hołownia showed yesterday bode well for this term of the Sejm. It seems to me that one can say today that it takes talent to conduct proceedings in this manner - Katarzyna Kotula said in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24. - PiS had a plan to destabilize the second day of the Sejm session. It was evident that the ministers who requested to speak were convinced that perhaps Marshal Szymon Hołownia would make a mistake somewhere, perhaps under the pressure of what was happening in the Sejm chamber, he would grant them unlimited speaking time - she continued. - An absurd situation, in which President Jarosław Kaczyński [...] intervenes or attempts to intervene with the Marshal. It seems to me that President Kaczyński forgot that there, on that seat, no longer sits a PiS Marshal - she stated.

08:06

Bielan on Building a Majority: "Perhaps Sobriety Will Come, Everyone Needs a Chance to Rectify Mistakes. The Probability Is Low"

- Perhaps some sobriety will come, everyone needs a chance to rectify mistakes. I'm smiling because the probability is, of course, low. According to the Constitution, it is the president who decides who to entrust with the mission, and always, since the currently binding Constitution of 1997 came into effect, in the so-called 1st constitutional step, the president has entrusted the mission to the largest club - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

08:11

Bielan:

I hope the Prime Minister doesn't resign, he will present his exposé, our plans for the next 4 years

- I hope this doesn't happen, that the Prime Minister doesn't resign, he will present his exposé, our plans for the next 4 years, and how parliamentarians will assess it later, let's remember that the Constitution has foreseen a situation where a candidate for Prime Minister does not receive a majority, there is a second constitutional step - stated Adam Bielan in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

08:13

Kotula:

Hołownia Showed Absolute Class, Composure, and Professionalism. There's a Chasm Between Him and Witek.
- The last four years, the way Marshal Witek conducted these debates and the comparison to just two days during which Marshal Szymon Hołownia led these debates, show a chasm – Katarzyna Kotula said in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - That reprimanding tone of Marshal Witek, who many times treated us more like children in kindergarten […] and the absolute class, composure, and professionalism of Marshal Szymon Hołownia, who took his role very seriously, acted according to the Sejm's regulations. He was definitely firm and controlled the situation in the parliamentary chamber – she assessed.

08:25

Kotula:

Putting Forward Witek's Candidacy for Deputy Marshal is Provocative. It Could Be Someone Else
- There is no categorical objection on my part to PiS, the right side of the political scene, having its representative in the Sejm presidium. But you must admit that putting forward Marshal Witek's candidacy is a provocation - said Katarzyna Kotula in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - I hope that PiS will not insist on Marshal Witek's candidacy. If PiS decides to adopt a stance of insisting on this candidacy, then we are saying clearly and firmly - there is no agreement from our side - she stressed. - It could be another MP, another PiS MP. It doesn't have to be a leading figure. [...] I look at these parliamentarians, for instance, with whom I worked in the Social Policy and Family Committee. Perhaps not the chairwoman, who also repeatedly broke Sejm regulations and did not allow people with disabilities in, but there are female MPs there, the first name - Joanna Borowiak, who are less controversial, who might do well in this role - she continued.

08:27

Bielan:

It Was a Mistake Not to Take the Glove

- If Tusk, over 2 years, without proposing any program solutions, has tripled the support for PO, from roughly 10% to almost 30%, and has proposed this kind of boxing match, then we also had to adapt to the rules of the game. As the poll results from May or June show, it was rather a mistake not to take this glove, not to pick up this glove earlier, but of course, we must adapt to the new realities. This means we need to find a language that will appeal to the largest possible group of voters in order to win in future elections - stated Adam Bielan in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

08:33

Bielan:

Kaczyński Won't Step Down in Coming Months. His Departure Would Shake the United Right Camp. It Would Be an Act of Destruction.

- I think that Jarosław Kaczyński will definitely not leave this position in the coming months, and I hope so, because his departure at this moment would shake the United Right camp. He is the person who created this camp in 2014, he conceived it, he created it. I don't think we need this kind of shock, quite the opposite. It would be an act of great destruction - stated Adam Bielan on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

08:39

Müller:

I bet we'll present the Council of Ministers lineup between the 12th and 14th. It won't overlap with the current one

- I bet we'll present the Council of Ministers lineup between the 12th and 14th. Monday or Tuesday is the deadline, so definitely at the beginning of the week you're mentioning. It won't overlap with the current one; there will be a new Council of Ministers lineup. All ministers are being appointed anew. I don't rule out that the Council of Ministers lineup might even change to a significant extent. There might be a larger number of ministers than some might expect - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

08:40

Kotula:

Social Policy is Definitely an Area Where I Want to Fulfil Myself in the Coming Years
- Regarding the personnel [of the new coalition government], it's a matter of roughly two weeks. I know that further negotiation talks are underway regarding the division of subsequent ministries - said Katarzyna Kotula in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. The MP confirmed that Lewica will receive the Ministry of Digitization in the division of ministries. - Talks are still ongoing about the Ministry of Social and Family Policy, about the Ministry of Education - she added. - We will certainly know the names only at the moment when Donald Tusk, as Prime Minister, appoints this government - she emphasized. When asked how she would react if someone "proposed her" for the Ministry of Social Policy, she replied: - I have worked for the last 4 years in the Committee on Social and Family Policy, in the Standing Subcommittee on Family, in the Standing Subcommittee on Persons with Disabilities. This is definitely the area in which I would like to fulfil myself in the coming years.

08:41

Müller:

We Expect Laws to Be Passed, and Today a Bill on Credit Holidays Will Be Sent to the Sejm, Adopted Yesterday by the Council of Ministers.

- We expect laws to be passed above all, and today such a law will be sent to the Sejm, adopted yesterday by the Council of Ministers by circulation, meaning credit holidays. Next up, VAT on food - stated Piotr Müller on the program „Gość Radia Zet”.

08:43

Müller:

We Will Not Nominate New Candidates for Deputy Speakers of the Sejm and Senate. Witek and Pęk Remain Our Candidates

- We will not nominate new candidates for deputy speakers of the Sejm and Senate. Marshal Witek and Pęk remain our candidates. We are counting on reflection from the opposition. If not, we will be without marshals. That is the decision for now - stated Piotr Müller on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

08:46

Kotula:

The time will come to verify whether the Razem party's decision is troublesome for us or not. I am convinced it is not
- The decision of the Razem party – which is an autonomous party but remains in the Left parliamentary club, and this is a very good decision [...] – means only that there will be no minister or deputy minister from the Razem party. I think the time will come to verify whether this decision by the Razem party is troublesome for us or not. I am convinced it is not – said Katarzyna Kotula in TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

08:46

Müller:

First Part of the New Government's Programmatic Issues This Week

- The first part of the new government's programmatic issues will be addressed at the end of this week - stated Piotr Müller on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

08:55

Kotula:

The New Compromise, Though I Dislike the Word, Could Be Decriminalization or Full Depenalization of Abortion
- Of course, I regret that the issues concerning women's rights and easier access to abortion were not included in the coalition agreement, but that's how it happened. We simply need to move on. The Left fought, is fighting, and will continue to fight for women's rights - Katarzyna Kotula said on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego." - We are putting two proposals on the table. Liberalization up to the 12th week, without stating a reason. […] But we are putting on the table what is called a new compromise, though I really dislike that word […]. This new compromise could be decriminalization, or full depenalization. I am convinced that we will find a majority for this demand - she continued.

08:56

Bielan:

Tusk or Hołownia won't be choosing our candidates
Tusk, or Mr. Hołownia, with all due respect to him, will not be choosing our candidates. This would mean a complete collapse of parliamentary democracy if other parties were to impose candidates on the largest clubs, on the largest club. We gained 2 million more votes than Civic Platform when moving to opposition, 4 million more votes, because they received 3.6 million, we received 7.6 million, than Civic Platform when moving to opposition in 2015, and we did not choose Civic Platform's candidate for the presidium – stated Adam Bielan in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

08:57

Krajewski:

I Am Prepared to Become Minister of Agriculture

- Everything good is ahead of me, I am still only 42 years old, I can be in various places. Readiness is having extensive experience in various areas. I will not be the one making this decision, but I am prepared [to become Minister of Agriculture] - stated Stefan Krajewski in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

08:58

Krajewski:

We Did Not Limit the Possibility of Nominating a Candidate in Any Way. The Candidate Lost the Vote

- All MPs present in the session hall and senators in the case of the Senate Deputy Speaker decided. However, we did not limit the possibility of nominating a candidate in any way. The candidate lost the vote - stated Stefan Krajewski on RMF FM.

08:58

Krajewski:

I Will Not Vote for Changes Regarding Abortion Impunity

- From the beginning, we have been in favor of restoring the abortion compromise and, as a second step, returning the decision to Poles in a serious referendum. I am still in favor of the abortion compromise; there are cases in which a decision can be made. Of course, these are matters of worldview, and I am not in favor of abortion on demand in all cases - stated Stefan Krajewski on RMF FM.

- I will not vote for this change [regarding abortion impunity] - he added.

08:59

Müller on Kaczyński: If He Were to Step Down as PiS Chairman, Yes, We Face Dissolution

- In my deep conviction, if the chairman were to step down from his role as PiS chairman, then yes, we face dissolution. I fear this. I believe he should be the party chairman for as long as possible, because he has the ability to unite the various factions within the party - stated Piotr Müller on the "Guest of Radio Zet" program.

09:17

Pęk:

I Got Under Grodzki and His Team's Skin, and They Took Revenge on Me
- I would wish for the current majority in the Sejm and the Senate to honor the tradition, which has been undisputed throughout all terms, that the largest opposition parliamentary club in the Sejm and the Senate has its representative in the presidium, and that this majority does not elect our candidate, but also honors the sacred tradition that we have the right to appoint the person we want as deputy speaker – said Marek Pęk in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon". - This is an important state position, but it is not so important that we would, for example, engage in negotiations with the majority at this moment and present a second, third, fourth candidate, and perhaps they would finally agree on the fifth attempt. This is simply pathetic. [...] We simply deserve the position of deputy speaker – he continued. - In the last term, a very specifically shaped chamber [...] Speaker Grodzki reigned in that chamber, along with his team, and I was the de facto opposition leader there. So, the opposition is also allowed more from time to time in the sphere of, for example, emotions or language. I, of course, engaged in sharp polemics with the majority there [...] I repeatedly demanded both the dismissal of Speaker Grodzki and, above all, the submission to the Senate's debate of a motion to revoke his immunity, so I got under the skin, as they say in Poland, of the Speaker and his team, and they took revenge on me – he went on to say.

09:21

Pęk:

I don't rule out Poles taking to the streets in defense of the CBA and IPN
- It's also a question of whether we will be able to convince Poles that something very bad is happening at this moment, if such important, critical state institutions as, for example, the CBA or the Institute of National Remembrance are being liquidated - Marek Pęk said in Trójka. - I absolutely do not rule out the possibility that Poles will take to the streets - he continued.

09:28

Pęk:

The current majority is enthusiastically electing its members to the KRS, negating its constitutional value. A decision needs to be made.
- The current majority is enthusiastically electing its members to the KRS, while simultaneously negating its existence, its constitutional value. [...] I wish to remind the MPs and Senators, because we will soon be electing two members to the KRS in the Senate as well, that this is a collegiate body and these members from the Sejm and Senate vote with the judicial members, jointly make resolutions, elect judges, promote judges. Therefore, if this is how we approach the matter, then all resolutions in which the MPs and Senators elected to the KRS participate are invalid due to the invalidity of the rest of the composition. So, a decision needs to be made - said Marek Pęk in Trójka.

09:36

Pęk on the potential annulment of Constitutional Tribunal judge appointments: "A blatant dismantling of the Constitution, an attack on the President's prerogatives"
- Professor Zoll is essentially talking nonsense, despite his professorial title. One cannot simply annul judicial appointments in this manner, appointments of judges properly appointed and sworn in by the President. [...] There will be a profound legal discussion on this matter. [The potential annulment by the Sejm of the election of three 'dubler' judges to the Constitutional Tribunal] is a blatant dismantling of the Constitution [...] a blatant attack on the President's prerogatives - Marek Pęk said on Trójka.

09:41

Pęk on the United Right: It's good for smaller entities to finally decide if they are with us. It wouldn't be good for the tail to forever wag the dog
- It's good for all these smaller entities that make up the United Right to finally decide if they are with us [...] Suwerenna Polska is an important part of the United Right, this is a different situation [than with Kukiz'15], we will definitely talk here, we care about the stability of this club, but [...] it wouldn't be good for the tail to forever wag the dog, one must also have certain proportions, one must know one's place in the line - said Marek Pęk on Trójka.

10:44

Paszyk on voluntary ZUS: We will not oppose Konfederacja's bill, I hope we will manage our solution concurrently
- We will certainly discuss this [Konfederacja's bill on voluntary ZUS] [...] of course, we promised [...] for many months, if not years, we have had this voluntary ZUS [...] we have submitted bills, we are consistent, because it is also thanks to us, and Konfederacja cannot forget about this, thanks to the Polish People's Party and the Third Way, these so-called ZUS holidays or voluntary ZUS for a certain period of time were included in the coalition agreement. [...] As soon as we form a government, I believe the relevant ministry will start working on it immediately [...] absolutely, we will not oppose this [Konfederacja's] bill, and concurrently, I hope, we will manage our solution [...] Every entrepreneur can count on ZUS exemption being implemented during this term - said Krzysztof Paszyk in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's program "Sedno Sprawy".

10:49

Paszyk:

I Calm Judges Appointed by a Flawed National Council of the Judiciary: Not a Hair on Your Head Will Fall
- I calm and assure every judge who has been appointed by a flawed National Council of the Judiciary: not a hair on any of your heads will fall, each of you will remain a judge. We must only heal what is the cause and essence of the problem, meaning the legal form of the National Council of the Judiciary - said Krzysztof Paszyk on Radio Plus.

11:00

Paszyk on the Number of Ministries for the PSL: I Think More Than Three. We Are Closest to Four
- I think it will be more than three [ministries for the PSL] [...]. We are closest to the number of four very important ministries, but this will also be the image of this government. It can be said that there will be no groups that significantly dominate in terms of the areas they are responsible for. It will be, and I don't hide it, a great plus of this agreement as well, a very partnership-based arrangement when it comes to the division of ministries - Krzysztof Paszyk said on Radio Plus. - Besides national defense, agriculture, and infrastructure, the economy is also very close to us - he continued.

ORLEN:

Strategic Gas Supplier for ArcelorMittal in Poland

SPONSORED CONTENT

ORLEN has signed long-term contracts for the supply of natural gas to ArcelorMittal Poland SA and ArcelorMittal Warszawa Sp. z o.o. (ArcelorMittal). These supplies will be carried out from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2028. The estimated maximum volume of gas supply during this period could reach 26 TWh.

– As the largest natural gas supplier in the country, ORLEN is a proven business partner, offering its customers attractive terms for the sale of raw materials. We perfectly understand the needs of the steel industry during a period of high price volatility and the challenges associated with energy transformation. The agreements we have signed combine supply guarantees with flexible commercial solutions, ensuring business benefits for both parties – says Daniel Obajtek, President of the ORLEN Management Board.
The agreements ensure ArcelorMittal purchases gas on market principles, with prices linked to stock exchange indices. The estimated value of the contracts is approximately PLN 4.64 billion.
– Supply stability has always been an extremely important factor for us in contracts of this type, and recently it has become even more significant. Flexibility is also important to us, as metallurgy is a cyclical industry. We are pleased that the provisions of the agreements concluded with ORLEN address these two needs – says Sanjay Samaddar, President of the ArcelorMittal Poland Management Board.
ArcelorMittal is one of ORLEN Group's strategic clients. Natural gas supplies to the company have been uninterrupted since January 1, 2017.

11:08

Paszyk:

These are PiS Politicians' Insinuations About Potential Relations with Third Way. Nothing Connects Us to PiS
- Absolutely, these are just speculations, I would even say more strongly, insinuations by PiS politicians about some potential relations with Third Way politicians. [...] If I received any proposal for a meeting and a discussion about building a majority with PiS today, I would politely point out that nothing connects us. For eight years, we dealt with a very destructive attitude from PiS towards the Polish People's Party. [...] They were poaching our parliamentarians, political corruption was rampant from PiS's side, one could overlook that, well, a new situation, but I draw attention to one thing: virtually nothing connects us to PiS - said Krzysztof Paszyk on Radio Plus.

11:25

Hołownia:

"I Heard an Incredibly Amount of Aggression, Contempt, Hatred, and Shouts Yesterday That Should Never Be Heard in Parliament"

- I heard an incredibly amount of aggression, contempt, hatred, and shouts yesterday that should never be heard in the hall of the Polish parliament, coming, I must say with great regret, also very clearly, from the right side of the hall. You can't hear all of this on the broadcast, and you don't hear it either, because the acoustics in this hall are such that only the presidium table hears everything - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- These were shouts ranging from 'hit yourself on the head' to shouts of 'get lost,' and various even semi-vulgar words that were directed at the speakers and the Marshal presiding over the session. At times, I felt like I was participating in a spectacle that no one should participate in, that no one should watch. It was a very sad day from my perspective as a person who is in the Sejm for the first time, who came here with such a need to introduce an atmosphere of respect - he continued.

11:26

Hołownia:

We Have Presidium Seats for All Parliamentary Clubs, and These Standards Weren't Met
- If someone speaks of violating the rules and standards of democracy, I remind them that in this Sejm, we have presidium seats for all parliamentary clubs, and these standards haven't been met - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

11:29

Hołownia:

Wójcik Said There's Nothing Extraordinary in the Sejm Marshal Not Allowing Constitutional Ministers to Speak, as it's Always the Marshal's Will

- MP Wójcik, whose erudition I greatly value, has many historical pronouncements. I read many of them today, and I also refreshed my memory last night, in which he said there is nothing extraordinary in the Sejm Marshal not allowing constitutional ministers to speak, because it is always the Marshal's will, the Marshal decides this, the regulations are regulations, but the Marshal has the right not to allow a minister to the podium. I understand that Minister Wójcik's view has changed with the perspective he now occupies - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

11:30

Hołownia:

I Will Not Allow Smearing Parliamentary Proceedings
I will not allow it, and I want everyone to be clear about this: smearing parliamentary proceedings. Whoever wants to do it - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

11:30

Maląg:

We Will Not Agree to Them Choosing Our Marshal
- We have begun the X term of the Sejm, where the opposition, calling itself the so-called democratic opposition, which today wants to seize power, has one common, most important goal: to remove Law and Justice from power. Those who wore T-shirts with the inscription "Constitution". Of course, these are just words. We are already seeing it. The first session of the Sejm is underway, as a break has been called by the rotational marshal - stated Marlena Maląg during a press conference. - And what has happened: Law and Justice, as the largest parliamentary club, nominated Marshal Elżbieta Witek, who, with her biography, a very difficult biography, has shown what kind of person she is above all. A person with integrity, a brave person, a person thanks to whom we live today in a free and independent Poland. In this last period, Marshal Witek has been the marshal holding this position for the longest time. No opposition club came forward with a motion to dismiss Marshal Elżbieta Witek; on the contrary, opposition MPs came to the Marshal, consulted her on many important issues, and the Marshal then spoke with us, as representatives of the Polish government, about how to help, without regard to political affiliations. And then comes the vote, a binary one. A candidate, a very good candidate, a woman, is being removed from the possibility of representing Law and Justice and serving as deputy marshal - she continued. - This outrages us as parliamentarians, as Law and Justice, but above all as women. We talk about women's rights, about how this so-called democratic opposition will care for women. What are we talking about, ladies and gentlemen. This is a scandal, what has happened, that the opposition primarily wants to show that they will dictate: "Yes, you will have a deputy marshal, but we will say who it should be." Democracy does not work like that, and we will not agree to it - she added.

11:31

Hołownia Suggests Amendments to Sejm Regulations

- I believe that this provision in the Sejm regulations, which allows any representative of institutions most frequently appointed by the Sejm to speak at any moment during a Sejm session, amounts to an invitation for obstruction of parliamentary work. Following yesterday's experiences, I will propose to the Presidium and the regulations committee that this point be reviewed for changes - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

11:40

Hołownia Announces Date for Address

- I hope for tomorrow [the address], but we'll see how it all unfolds. These are also busy days, and grasping the rhythm of this parliamentary machine will take some time - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

13:23

Strzembosz:

I will convey my respects to Mr. Speaker

- I will convey my respects to Mr. Speaker. That is what a guest should do when invited. As for what I will do, I won't reveal that to you, because then it might turn out that Mr. Speaker would not want to listen to me at all, or vice versa, he would say "I've been thinking that way for a long time" - stated Professor Adam Strzembosz during a media appearance.

Siemoniak:

I don't know how normal people can endorse pretending to be a government, and Morawiecki is backing it

- It's obvious that cronies are being appointed, more decisions are being made, more villas are being granted. I think this is a team that cannot let go of power. Maybe one more day with a company car, maybe one more day - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

- I don't know how normal people can endorse pretending to be a government, and Morawiecki is backing it - he added.

17:21

Siemoniak on the Ministry of National Defense: No decisions made yet

- No decisions have been made yet. The Prime Minister will communicate them along with the leaders at the appropriate time. Now, and quite rightly, this topic is not being discussed. We are dealing with a bizarre situation where Prime Minister Morawiecki was given the mission the day before yesterday and is trying to form a government. We should be interested in what kind of ministers will be found there, who will want to make a fool of themselves. It's simply a grotesque situation - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on the program “Gość Radia Zet”.

Leadership Change at the Sejm Chancellery Next Week

On Tuesday at 10:00 AM, the Sejm's Rules and Deputies' Affairs Committee will convene to provide its opinion to the Sejm Marshal on two motions – the first concerns the dismissal of Agnieszka Kaczmarska from the position of Head of the Sejm Chancellery, and the second concerns the appointment of Jacek Cichocki to this role.

According to the regulations, the Marshal appoints and dismisses the Head of the Sejm Chancellery after consulting the Rules and Deputies' Affairs Committee.

Biejat:

It's difficult to take responsibility for any ministry that offers no guarantees for implementing our program
- We failed to obtain guarantees for the financing of the projects that mattered most to us, namely 8% of GDP for healthcare, or any financial guarantee for housing, or for 3% for research and development. Consequently, it is difficult to take responsibility for any ministry that offers no guarantees for the implementation of this program. This government certainly has the most important tasks ahead of it, and this discussion began yesterday: it is a matter of sorting out the situation in the judiciary and general problems with the rule of law in Poland. It is a matter of sorting out and improving our relations with the European Union. It is a matter of unblocking funds from the KPO, and in this regard, we will support this government and we are convinced that this government will see these matters through – stated Magdalena Biejat in an interview with Tomasz Terlikowski on RMF FM. - This is a decision we will make together as the entire Lewica [regarding economically liberal projects], and on the one hand, we declare that we will support all projects that, from our perspective, are good for Poland – she continued. - For us, as the Razem party, for our voters, the key issues were housing, healthcare, research and development. It was also about shortening working hours or women's rights. Unfortunately, we failed to secure guarantees for these matters, and hence our decision – she added.

Head of the Presidential Chancellery Announces President's Meeting with the Marshal of the Sejm

Biejat on Abortion Decriminalization: We Can Find a Majority. Indeed, There's a Chance to Convince the President Not to Veto This Law
- We will now strive to find a parliamentary majority. I am convinced that when it comes to the law on the decriminalization of abortion, meaning a law abolishing prison sentences for assisting in pregnancy termination, we are capable of finding such a majority. Indeed, I believe there is a chance to convince the President not to veto this law – stated Magdalena Biejat on RMF FM.

19:32

Biejat:

I Would Veto the Provision on Annulment of the Constitutional Tribunal's Ruling on Abortion. It's a Step Backwards, and Secondly, One Ruling Cannot Be Selectively Annulled
- I wasn't at that negotiation table. If I had been, I would have very strongly vetoed that provision [in the coalition agreement concerning the annulment of the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling on abortion]. I am against it, firstly, because it is a step backward, not forward. I believe that returning to the situation before the Tribunal's ruling is moving backward, not forward - stated Magdalena Biejat on RMF FM. - Secondly, one ruling cannot be selectively annulled. Either we withdraw all rulings from the legal circulation - I'm already setting aside considerations of whether that's possible or not - but either we withdraw all rulings or none. It doesn't seem legally possible to withdraw those rulings - she continued.

Arłukowicz:

They Seemed to Have Gone Mad, They Had Madness in Their Eyes, Red Faces, Veins Popping

– I saw from very close up and heard the ministers speaking, Ziobro, Wójcik, it seems. They seemed to have gone mad, they had madness in their eyes, red faces, veins popping. I think they realized then that they had lost the election, only on that podium – stated Bartosz Arłukowicz in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".

19:45

Arłukowicz:

Witek Should Rest, She's Unfit for the Role

- For me, Marshal Witek is unfit to serve as deputy marshal. And I raised my hand against this proposal because I believe she should rest, and secondly, she is unfit for the role - stated Bartosz Arłukowicz on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

19:47

Arłukowicz:

We Will Hold Accountable Those Who Stole and Broke the Law

- The campaign was tough, each of us had hundreds, if not thousands, of meetings, myself included. Regardless of whether I met with younger people, with older people. With seniors, with patients, women, men, students, with anyone. At every question, there was: will you hold accountable those who stole and broke the law? I answer: we will hold accountable those who stole and broke the law - stated Bartosz Arłukowicz on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".

19:49

Arłukowicz:

Pęk contributed to all that happened. He accepted the rule of law being broken in Poland

- I will do everything to ensure [Elżbieta Witek] never holds this position [Marshal] again. Pęk contributed to all that happened. He was a Marshal who accepted the rule of law being broken in Poland, the complete change in the functioning of the justice system. He agreed to it all, accepted it, voted for it – stated Bartosz Arłukowicz in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

19:55

Czarzasty:

Hołownia Did Brilliantly. He Didn't See the Need for Kaczyński to Inform All of Poland He's Deputy Prime Minister
- I want to say this about Marshal Szymon Hołownia: he did brilliantly, I'm truly very happy about it [...]. He managed it, he led it. Now, I'll be a bit sarcastic towards Prime Minister Kaczyński. Prime Minister Kaczyński simply approached Mr. Hołownia and wanted to inform him that he is a deputy prime minister, but since Marshal Hołownia knew that Prime Minister Kaczyński is a deputy prime minister, he didn't see the need for Prime Minister Kaczyński to inform all of Poland about it, because it is, in fact, generally known information - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach".

20:05

Czarzasty to Morawiecki and PiS: You won't trick anyone from the left into your schemes
- They [PiS politicians] can bow [to the Together party], they can wash the floor [...]. I'm telling Mr. Morawiecki and I'm telling PiS: you won't trick anyone from the left into your schemes. The Together party is a great party, it knows which side it stands on - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.

20:06

Czarzasty to Morawiecki: Forget it, don't call, throw away your phone
- President Andrzej Duda said at a meeting with some surprise [...], he said: we have information that the only formation PiS isn't calling is you. We said: what, are you trying to insult us this way? We are proud of that. PiS thought they could buy our friends from PSL [...] Kosiniak-Kamysz [...] is simply always on the democratic side, and that's it. [...] Mr. Prime Minister, forget it, don't call, throw away your phone - Włodzimierz Czarzasty said on TVN24.

20:09

Czarzasty:

We Want to Resolve the In Vitro Issue Immediately
- We will be planning to introduce one of the citizen initiatives in the near future, because we respect citizen initiatives, for example, a project regarding which none of the four parties has any reservations, the issue of in vitro. We would like to resolve the issue of in vitro immediately, which is also a programmatic element of our formations. There is a citizen initiative, and we will be dealing with it - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.

20:13

Czarzasty:

We Won't Let Go of the Abortion Issue, We've Filed Two Bills and Sooner or Later We'll Find a Majority
- Regarding abortion, as far as The Left is concerned [...] we won't let go, we've already filed two bills [...] a bill concerning abortion up to the 12th week and the decriminalization of assistance, we will be looking for a majority on this matter and we will find it sooner or later - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.

20:26

Hołownia Announces: Address Tomorrow. I Want to Introduce Myself and State that Democratic Standards Have Returned to the Sejm
- Tomorrow [I will deliver an address]. I want to greet you, I want to introduce myself. I want to say that democratic standards, which were absent, have returned to the Polish parliament. Every club is guaranteed a place in the presidium. Of course, MPs can assess whether cooperation with a given MP proceeded in such a way that they deserve a place in the presidium, or not, but this is the will of the MPs - announced Szymon Hołownia in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

20:33

Head of the Sejm Chancellery Resigns. Hołownia Confirms Reports by 300
- It is true, Minister [Agnieszka Kaczmarska] has resigned. I must say that regarding this transitional period, the Minister has been very helpful, very much onboarding my team into the operations. This resignation will be able to take effect after I receive the opinion of the Rules Committee, which convened yesterday - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". Hołownia confirmed that Jacek Cichocki will replace Kaczmarska as the head of the Sejm Chancellery. - My long-time collaborator, even from the presidential campaign days. A person I trust and a person, who alongside Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, I can say is an absolutely crystal-clear individual - the Marshal of the Sejm stated. As we wrote on 300POLITYKA, a parliamentary committee will convene next week on this matter.

20:43

Witek:

Democracy Fled Through the Main Entrance of the Sejm Upon Hearing the Current Crew Attempt to Invoke It

- First general impression. Democracy, which the so-called total opposition talks about so often and so much. That democracy fled through the main entrance of the Sejm when it heard that the current crew was attempting to invoke it. It has absolutely nothing to do with democracy. For me, this opposition will continue to be a total opposition. They called themselves that, but quickly realized it wasn't serving them and tried to drown it out with the term 'democratic opposition' – stated Elżbieta Witek in the program 'Gość Wiadomości' on TVP Info.

20:43

Witek:

I Won't Give Up. It Cannot Be That a Party Voted For by 8 Million Poles Won't Have a Representative in the Sejm Presidium

- It was absolutely no surprise [that I wasn't elected]. The hatred that was poured on me. Besides, for quite some time now, it indicated that this is how it would be. However, I am not a weak person, I never give up, I always fight to the very end. And it cannot be that a party, which almost 8 million people voted for, will not have its representative in the Sejm Presidium – stated Elżbieta Witek on TVP Info.

20:44

Hołownia:

I Was a Step Away from Imposing a Financial Penalty Yesterday
- I am prepared for it [for the application of financial penalties]. The Marshal of the Sejm has several courses of action at his disposal. I am prepared for all of them, however, I have a strong conviction that perhaps these Tuesday deliberations will be a bit calmer - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i" (A Dot Above the i). - It was a step away [from imposing such a penalty on someone during yesterday's session]. There is a paragraph that speaks of violating the dignity of the Sejm, and it results in financial responsibility. It is not a long procedure. I was a step away from such a decision, but fortunately, the chamber calmed down - he revealed.

20:44

Witek:

We Will Primarily Await the Increase of the Tax-Free Allowance to PLN 60,000 and the Zero-Interest Loan. These are Very Beneficial Solutions, We Will Definitely Vote for Them.

- We will be a very scrupulous opposition. If we transition to opposition, we will very meticulously and consistently ask for it, demand it, insist on it. The realization of the promises made by Mr. Tusk and his colleagues during the election campaign. I will primarily await the increase of the tax-free allowance to PLN 60,000 and the zero-interest loan; this is what people are waiting for, and these are very beneficial solutions, so we will definitely vote for them – stated Elżbieta Witek on TVP Info.

20:51

Hołownia:

Yesterday, Kaczyński also pointed out to me the unlimited speaking time for ministers. He spoke in a non-confrontational, calm manner.
- Now, when [Jarosław Kaczyński] approached me yesterday, it wasn't just about him wanting to speak today, as I'm also reading and seeing today, but he also pointed out to me the unlimited speaking time, in his opinion, for members of the government who are speaking - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - However, I must admit that he spoke in a non-confrontational, very calm manner. That's how I remembered it [that he wanted to speak], but I said [...]: two representatives of the government have asked to speak, and others are coming forward. I understand that they will speak on behalf of the government - he continued. - However, there was no aggression, no humiliation, or any shouting from President Kaczyński. We simply exchanged procedural remarks - he added.

20:57

Hołownia:

Parliament is the Supreme Body Over the Government. I'm Here to Ensure Government Members Don't Speak Until Morning
- I want to safeguard the dignity of the Sejm. The government is a body that the Sejm selects and controls. The Sejm is the supreme body in relation to the government. And here we have a law that someone wants to use in such a way that a member of a subordinate body to the Sejm comes and, as Minister Szczucki honestly said at the outset yesterday: if we want to, we will speak here until morning - said Szymon Hołownia in TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - But as the Marshal of the Sejm, I am here to ensure that you do not speak until morning, but rather that we conduct votes, pass laws, and debate in a civilized manner - he emphasized.

21:04

Hołownia:

I want to physically show the President, with my very presence, that there is a majority in the Sejm and perhaps it's worth speeding up procedures
- First and foremost, I want to introduce myself to the President in my new role [during Friday's meeting]. We have met before, but I believe that the new Marshal of the Sejm should meet with the President, to agree on priorities. But I will also repeat to the President what I said in my first speech as Marshal of the Sejm. By holding this office, I am a clear sign that there is a majority in this chamber capable of forming a government, as it has already elected the Marshal of the Sejm - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - I also want to show the President, in a visible way, with my physical presence, that there is a majority in this Sejm and that perhaps it is worth considering accelerating these procedures - he added.

21:08

Hołownia:

No Idea for Third Way to Head Foreign Ministry. Head of this Ministry Will Likely Belong to Another Party
- There is no such proposal on the table and no such idea [for the Third Way to head the Ministry of Foreign Affairs]. The Minister of Foreign Affairs will likely be the responsibility of another party - Szymon Hołownia said on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - When we were considering various areas of responsibility, we did indeed discuss it for a moment, but that is long outdated - he added.
