The Sejm will resume its proceedings at 9:00 AM with a voting block, followed by the first reading of a citizen-initiated bill proposing salary increases for nurses, among others.

At 12:30 PM, the second reading of another citizen-initiated bill will take place – this one aiming to introduce reimbursement for in vitro fertilization. A further committee meeting on this matter is scheduled for 4:15 PM, which practically means that MPs will most likely vote on the proposal today.

At 3:30 PM, the Sejm will hear information from the Prime Minister regarding the protests of Polish transporters and farmers at the Polish-Ukrainian border.

At 6:00 PM, another voting block will commence, during which, among other things, members of the State Commission for Investigating Russian Influence on the Internal Security of the Republic of Poland in the years 2007-2022 – more commonly referred to as Lex Tusk – will be dismissed.

At 11:00 AM, the 2nd session of the Senate will begin. The agenda includes, among other items, changes to the regulations, the appointment of standing committees, the election of chairpersons, and the selection of senators for the National Council of the Judiciary. A briefing by Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska is scheduled for 10:50 AM.

At 5:00 PM, on the courtyard of the Belvedere Palace, President Andrzej Duda will participate in a roll call ceremony on the occasion of Cadet Day and the 193rd anniversary of the outbreak of the November Uprising.

Politico has announced the results of its annual ranking, which identified the most influential politician in Europe. Donald Tusk won it.

"For twenty years, two men have been battling for the soul of Poland. In the blue corner, fighting for a democratic, modern, European vision of the future: Donald Tusk, a former prime minister who served as President of the European Council, and then returned to the position of leader of the centrist opposition; in the red corner, fighting for traditionalists, Catholic conservatives, nationalists: Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of PiS. Each man had a chance to shape Poland in his own image, only for the other to turn back the clock. Now, after eight years of Kaczyński's rule, the country stands on the brink of a new Tusk era, and the wind of change is blowing again" – writes Politico.

- We are, of course, preparing to defend the truth and will try to show the reasons behind specific decisions, for example, concerning the presidential elections. We must remember that everything took place during the pandemic, under significant pressure from public opinion and legal obligations regarding the holding of elections. Ultimately, these elections were held, the presidential elections at a later date, but let's remember that at that time, the atmosphere created by the left and liberals, i.e., Civic Coalition (KO), was actually aimed at changing the candidate - stated Marcin Przydacz on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.

- Looking at these motions for investigative committees, it's evident that this left-liberal coalition, which has formed in the Sejm, wants a spectacle. They don't want to deal with matters important to Poles, but rather want to present a spectacle of gladiatorial combat or accusations thrown about entirely without basis – stated Marcin Przydacz on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) PR1.

- I perfectly remember the times before 2015, when there was indeed a monopoly of left-liberal forces in the media in Poland. I'm talking about electronic media and major television stations. Of course, newspapers and some online portals reported the truth in different ways, sometimes more, sometimes less, but that pluralism was somehow preserved. However, on television, people moved from TVP to commercial television and vice versa, but everyone played in the same orchestra, one that was favorable to Donald Tusk at the time - stated Marcin Przydacz in "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.

- It turns out that the various announcements of this government's positive actions have so far turned into some kind of revenge, meaning we are dealing with vengeful change (...) As I look at these actions in the Sejm, this parliamentary majority is moving further and further away from democracy. For example, the Sejm Presidium's resolution practically bypasses the regulations – stated Marek Suski on PR24.

- We'll see [if we appoint our representatives to investigative committees]. Well, if it turns out that they will mock the regulations and these committees will be appointed to get PiS, regardless of the truth. It makes no sense to appoint committees in matters for which the Act on Investigative Committees states that they are appointed when state organs cannot cope with something. Here we have a situation where individuals have been revealed, detained. There are charges, the bad PiS state discovered it, and it turned out that the services are functioning after all – Marek Suski said on PR24.

- We will demand proportionality. And if it is not there, then we will consider what to do – he added.

- From our side, the PSL, the MPs Orliński, Kłopotek, and Sroka will be recommended for the investigation committees; this is the composition we will present. If those who have to investigate the omissions and neglects of ministers, prime ministers, and other individuals who held important positions are to become members of these committees, then it's somewhat nonsensical - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM's "Morning Interview".

- I didn't become Prime Minister because I agreed on something else with the voters, and the voters voted for something else. There is on the one hand the ambition and desire of every political leader to be Prime Minister, but on the other hand, in my opinion, there is something more important where the interest of Poland, the state, begins and one's own interest ends - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.

- I said that in two areas, the [PiS government's] contracts must be maintained, and that is the matter of energy and the modernization of the army. As a rule, of course, verification, checking the proceedings to see if everything was in line with standards, what else can be achieved, what else can be renegotiated, or if Poland can gain more. In these two areas, continuation is necessary - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.

The Sejm has adopted a bill that prohibits trading on Sunday, December 24th. The regulations stipulate the transfer of the trading Sunday from December 24th to December 10th. Shops will be able to remain open all day, not just until 2:00 PM, as previously proposed by PiS. In the vote on the entirety of the bill, 441 MPs participated, with 429 voting in favour and 12 abstaining (all from Konfederacja).

- I am not surprised that the establishment of investigative committees in the Sejm evokes emotions, because everyone wants a swift and efficient clarification of matters that have outraged public opinion in the past term, matters that exposed our state to multi-million losses, matters that truly undermined a democratic state. I understand these emotions and I hope that these committees will work efficiently and that we will soon know and clarify these situations that took place – stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a press briefing in the Senate.

- Yesterday, we had the health committee, which I chaired, and do not delude yourselves, it was not easy. They did everything they could to ensure you wouldn't have access to this IVF for at least another two weeks, to make life a little harder for people, they submitted amendments. Here I have such an amendment, PiS submitted an amendment, mind you, to make IVF available only and exclusively to married couples. No, no, no, it will be available to those who need it - stated Bartosz Arłukowicz in the Sejm.

- PiS MPs submitted a request for a public hearing so that this IVF would not be for another 2 weeks, and they asked: Mr. Chairman, we would like to learn a little about this IVF, so that we can learn something. Alright, I'll tell you a little bit. It all started with the microscope. The microscope was invented in 1590. Do you know what a microscope is? Then in 1667 – cover your ears, it was then that for the first time under a microscope a scientist saw a sperm. 150 years later, the egg cell was discovered. And in 1978, the first baby was born. Louis is 45 years old today. In 1987, the first Polish woman was born. Magda is 35, 36 years old – stated Bartosz Arłukowicz in the Sejm.

- The topic of IVF unfortunately stirs extreme emotions in this chamber. On one hand, this debate causes sadness for parents of children who are in this world thanks to the IVF method. This debate causes sadness because one side of the chamber constantly stigmatizes, constantly excludes, and humiliates. Today is the day when we say "enough humiliating children of parents who are in this world thanks to the IVF method." The IVF method primarily evokes joy, emotion, even tears in this chamber, but these are tears of happiness, not, as from that side of the chamber, tears of sadness. Yesterday, we received a multitude of voices from future parents who said and wrote, "We were moved, we have tears of happiness today, thanks to you, thanks to the fact that you are again giving us a sense of justice, a sense of happiness, a sense of hope that things will be normal again" - stated Agnieszka Pomaska in the Sejm.

- During these debates, we heard statements that, to put it mildly, were detached from reality, but also scandalous and abhorrent. And alongside embarrassment and genuine indignation, one could feel relief. Relief that Polish women and men have shown you your place in the parliamentary minority. But also relief that you will never again stand in anyone's way of having a child. And I sincerely hope that you and your terrible comparisons and terrible views will not only remain in the minority, but will eventually be relegated to the margins of public debate, Mr. Braun – stated Aleksandra Gajewska in the Sejm.

- I am talking about two days during which - as I am convinced, based on the votes I am participating in - a de facto change of power will occur in Poland, a de facto realization of the electoral outcome from October 15th of this year. This outline looks like this: Prime Minister Morawiecki will come to the Sejm on December 11th at 10 AM to deliver his government statement. I asked the Prime Minister about the length of this statement, because as you know well, in the history of parliamentarism and democracy, there have been multi-hour government statements. The Prime Minister assured me that he does not intend to speak for longer than an hour. Afterwards, we anticipate a discussion, which will certainly be lively and extensive. I estimate it might last 3 hours, perhaps a bit more, maybe 4. And then, around 3 PM, we expect a vote of confidence for the government presented by Prime Minister Morawiecki - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- Following that, I will announce a recess during which I will await nominations for the Prime Minister in the second constitutional step - the Marshal of the Sejm continued.

- I expect that on the same day, December 11th, we will elect a new Prime Minister in the Sejm. This break for candidate nominations does not have to be long. I understand that the number of candidates for Prime Minister in this chamber is quite limited and there won't be too many. This break will be short, there will be a speech by the proposer, and statements on behalf of the parliamentary clubs and caucuses. We will discuss this, and in the afternoon of the 11th, or early evening of the 11th, we can proceed to the election of a new Prime Minister, provided the previous one does not secure a vote of confidence - he added.

- The next part of this procedure depends on the decision of the new Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, if he becomes one, and everything points to that. If the Prime Minister, with whom I will discuss this in the coming days, wishes for the rest of the procedure, the continuation of the procedure, to be carried out on the same day, meaning late into the night, then of course I will have no objection to that - Hołownia said.

- If such is his will, my suggestion as well, but it is his decision, my decision, but his suggestion, we can part ways that day with an elected Prime Minister, have the feeling that the change has occurred, and experience the government statement and the vote on the composition of the Council of Ministers the following day, on Tuesday - he added.

- The Prime Minister is the one who controls this timeline. It is the Prime Minister who decides when, within these 14 days set by the Constitution, he is ready to present his inaugural address. I asked the Prime Minister if he was ready to deliver this address earlier, or if he intended to use the full 14-day period, and I received a clear and unambiguous answer that the Prime Minister will use the full 14 days granted to him by the Constitution. Consequently, I proposed that the Prime Minister's inaugural address, and the Sejm session with the vote on it, should commence on Monday, December 10th or 11th - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- I don't know if Prime Minister Morawiecki is tilting at windmills, but I do know that from what I heard, to put it in a way that truly captures the spirit of that conversation, he said they simply want to submit draft laws. I understood that this is the reason why these 14 days are still needed. They want to develop and submit several draft laws to the Sejm, which can then be worked on and discussed. I think the Prime Minister is a realist when it comes to the situation with building a majority - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- There are moments like today when emotions, these human emotions, arise. I think this is the moment when everyone in this chamber, regardless of where we come from, remembers for a moment that we are not machines for doing politics, but people - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- These moments don't always happen in this "classroom." This "classroom" is very difficult, and I don't feel like its teacher, but rather someone who is supposed to maintain order. I am new here in the role of Marshal and in the role of a Member of Parliament. I have said this many times before, that if in four years, we, the new Members of Parliament, leave this Sejm with the same standards of work, culture, and relationships that prevailed here in recent years, it means we will have suffered a shameful defeat - he added.

268 MPs voted in favor of the citizen's bill introducing funding for the in vitro method, 118 voted against, and 50 abstained. The Senate will now consider the bill.

The Law and Justice (PiS) parliamentary club was divided once again - 23 MPs voted for, 102 were against, and 49 abstained, with an additional 17 not participating in the vote.

The project was supported, among others, by Mateusz Morawiecki, Mariusz Kamiński, Piotr Müller, Sylwester Tułajew, Michał Moskal, Joanna Lichocka, and Marcin Przydacz.

- You spoke, Mr. Budka, about us holding a meeting with Western European parties. Well, thanks to that meeting we held, those parties, with VOX at the forefront, condemned the Russian aggression against Ukraine. We have nothing to be ashamed of; it was we who convinced them – stated Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

- The way Borys Budka is trying to twist things around is truly remarkable. I have brought with me just a few superficially searched quotes from then-Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who, with his statements made at absolutely critical times – during Putin's invasion of Georgia, after the Smoleńsk catastrophe, or in 2014 when Putin had already attacked Ukraine – expressed what he thought about cooperation with Russia. I would like to refer to this now so that Polish society knows the facts, because the facts are that Mr. Budka, the chairman, is trying to cover up what they fear with his deceitful narrative - stated Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

- Dear compatriots, this heap of falsehoods and lies requires intervention, so I have decided to quote it. Donald Tusk, May 2014. And May 2014 was the moment when Russia had already attacked Ukraine, when it occupied Crimea, when it occupied Donbas – I just want to remind you of this. I would not want Poland to be in some kind of anti-Russian avant-garde or anti-Russian crusade. As long as I have a say in it, Poland will not be a country with such an aggressive anti-Russian concept, said Donald Tusk - he continued.

- October 7, 2011. In my opinion, I took on a great challenge to break this historical fatalism. Historical fatalism after the Smoleńsk catastrophe, after the attack on Georgia, Russia, which was arming itself, preparing for an attack on Ukraine. Donald Tusk said that Poland and Russia should build friendly relations, enabling cooperation, especially economic cooperation in the context of gas from Gazprom. Gas from Gazprom, for which Civic Platform wanted to sign a 25-year agreement. If I remember correctly, from 2012 to 2037. These were actions, not just words, that testified to the actual entanglement of Civic Platform in dependencies related to Russia - he emphasized.

- Nord Stream 2, a flagship Russian-German project. This project, which the German press, the German press, writes today is a terrible mistake, a fatal mistake. I see heads bowed, you're tying your shoes now. Ashamed to admit it, I understand. A terrible mistake, and yet this vice-chairman, Mr. Rafał Trzaskowski, said that it is simply a business project. Germany today is ashamed of this project, I hope I can say that, and what's more, Civic Platform should be ashamed of this project – stated Mateusz Morawiecki in the Sejm.

The Sejm has adopted a motion to dismiss members from the State Commission for Investigating Russian Influence on the Internal Security of the Republic of Poland in the Years 2007-2022 – more commonly known as the Lex Tusk commission.

The dismissed members are: Sławomir Cenckiewicz, Łukasz Cięgotura, Andrzej Kowalski, Arkadiusz Puławski, Marek Szymaniak, Michał Wojnowski, Andrzej Zybertowicz, and Przemysław Źurawski vel Grajewski. Józef Brynkus resigned voluntarily, rendering the motion regarding him moot.

The Sejm (Polish Parliament) did not agree to appoint Zbigniew Ziobro to the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Deputies' Affairs and Immunity, and the Committee on Constitutional Accountability. 179 MPs voted in favour of Zbigniew Ziobro's election to the composition of these committees – only the PiS (Law and Justice party) caucus. 250 voted against, and 13 abstained.
