Fogiel:
This Government Isn't Even a Week Old, Yet We've Already Heard Absurd, Utterly Unlawful and Unconstitutional Ideas
- In recent days, and this government isn't even a week old, we've already heard such absurd proposals for solutions, completely unlawful and unconstitutional in many areas, that it's unfortunately not surprising at all that such propositions are being pushed. Especially since similar, and even more far-reaching ones, are presented by the judges themselves - stated Radosław Fogiel on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

I Believe Glapiński Will Face the State Tribunal, Likely in the First Quarter of the New Year
- I believe that Mr. President Adam Glapiński should face the State Tribunal. This is not a matter of my wishes, it is a matter of principles, and the principle that if someone has broken the law, they must face the consequences – stated Ryszard Petru on RMF24.
- I am referring to further installments of the conflict that Mr. Mucha, a member of the NBP management board, is revealing. Undoubtedly, this matter needs to be clarified. We are dealing with the NBP publishing basic information, for example, about salaries. Secondly, not transferring documents, which is de facto a violation of the law. The same happened in the RPP. But we also have more serious accusations here concerning, for instance, the financing of the budget by the NBP, which is constitutionally prohibited – he continued.
- I believe that [Adam Glapiński] will be brought before the ST and it will likely be in the first quarter of the new year, but it is difficult for me, it is difficult for me to ultimately be responsible for the entire coalition – he added.

Petru:
The Confederation's Electorate is Winnable. I am absolutely for cooperation in specific cases, but not when Braun is a Confederation MP
- I believe that the Confederation's electorate is an electorate that needs to be nurtured; I believe it is winnable. Therefore, I am absolutely for cooperation in specific cases, but I do not see such a possibility if Mr. Braun remains a Confederation MP. Because, quite simply, a sanitary cordon needs to be established – Ryszard Petru said on RMF24.
- My declaration would be that if you expel Mr. Braun, you will not lose a deputy speaker. You can always borrow even a Confederation MP. The point is that Mr. Braun should not have the destructive power he currently possesses after this scandal. Simply put, this individual should not be accepted in any political group in the Polish Sejm at all – he continued.

– Here the assessment of the entire PiS environment, because it is certainly not my personal opinion, is unequivocally negative. Many of our politicians have already spoken on this matter, but indeed, the opinion of the First President of the Supreme Court, which leaves nothing but praise for this draft regulation, is I think extremely important here. President Manowska clearly speaks of a violation of the Constitution, of it being an attempt at manual control of the courts and, in a way, also of verdicts. An attempt that even the authorities of the PRL did not undertake. Our new majority, which likes to call itself democratic, according to the First President of the Supreme Court, has very quickly surpassed PRL-era standards when it comes to the courts – stated Radosław Fogiel in PR1's "Sygnały dnia".

Fogiel:
If a motion to dismiss Bosak as Deputy Sejm Marshal is filed, I will vote 'yes'
- Some people here are saying it's Grzegorz Braun's doing, but on the other hand, it was precisely his party colleague, Marshal Bosak, who was presiding over the session and immediately gave him a place at the podium to justify it - stated Radosław Fogiel in "Signals of the Day" on PR1.
- This comes from the Konfederacja leaders' council, and furthermore, Konfederacja claims, at least some of them express it that way, that they have no intention of punishing him further. Also, a part of Konfederacja did not keep their commitments, for example, when it came to the election of the Marshal, so here, if such a motion is filed [to dismiss Krzysztof Bosak from the position of Deputy Sejm Marshal], I believe I will vote in favor of the motion - he continued.

- The first substantive session, where we could request evidence, we have part of it, as it's generally available, but a large part is with the prosecutor's office, courts, Poczta Polska, PWPW, KPRM, and at the same time, we need to invite the first witnesses. I hope and I will do everything, I will persuade MPs, to have this done still in January. People expect this commission to operate efficiently - stated Dariusz Joński in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the "Gość Radia Zet" program.
- In the resolution, we are already saying, I'm not talking about the first one, but certainly Prime Minister Morawiecki, Deputy Prime Minister Sasin, but also Jarosław Kaczyński, who said in an interview that he made this decision. So it would be difficult if we didn't invite Jarosław Kaczyński as a witness - he added.

Czarzasty:
All Dreams of Confederation's Democratic Approach to Poland and Life Have Been Doused by the Fire Extinguisher of Confederation's True Face
- Lewica has always believed that Konfederacja should not have a place in the Sejm Presidium. We were the only ones to vote against it in the parliamentary chamber on this matter. We are consistent in this. All dreams of Confederation's democratic approach to Poland, to life, have been doused by the fire extinguisher of Confederation's true face, and that face is Braun – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Robert Mazurek on the program “Morning Conversation” on RMF FM.
- As Lewica, we will not change our minds on this matter. Ms. Żukowska, on behalf of the entire club, has submitted a motion, and there will be no bargaining on this issue, and I am also saying this to our coalition friends – he added.

Czarzasty:
I believe healthcare funding should reach 8% of GDP within this term
- Ultimately, of course [8% of GDP for healthcare]. That is to say, first we will conduct an audit of the state's finances, which is what we are doing right now. We are checking more and more holes. At the moment, we see them. I believe that within this term, healthcare funding should reach this level. Currently, as regards this year, we are analyzing the state of finances because nobody knows the financial situation that has occurred. When we have the audit of finances, we will have to decide how much we will have to, for example, indebt the budget and to what extent we will not do so - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in RMF FM.

- This is a bad idea, absolutely it is a bad idea. Doing something like this, where one program goes to one political option and another to another political option. This is a denial of the very idea of public media as implemented by the BBC, for example – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on RMF FM.

- Donald Tusk and his government, the minister who will be present there can express objection to this, there is a clear point in the Council's Rules of Procedure that allows for this to be removed from the agenda. We will see if this test will be passed by Donald Tusk's government minister. However, we have prepared all the arguments to raise such a voice and adopt such a stance - stated Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk during a press conference in the Sejm.
- In the final days of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki's government, we first prepared, and then the Committee for European Affairs adopted an in-depth analytical document, which had previously been prepared by the ministries, asked about the potential consequences of the proposed treaty changes within their areas of competence [...]. On Wednesday, December 13, when I met with Minister Adam Szłapka, the new Minister for European Union Affairs, I handed him this document and told him that this is a matter of fundamental importance, but it is also an official document adopted by the Committee for European Affairs, and therefore an excellent basis for action - he continued.
- I have great hope that the Minister for European Affairs, Adam Szłapka, will also play his proper role in this matter, i.e., a coordinating role for all ministerial actions being taken on European affairs - he emphasized.

"Constitutional Tribunal Rulings" Will Be Published with a Suitable Note
- The Constitution mandates the observance of international law. Poland is therefore bound by the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), according to which the Constitutional Tribunal (TK) ruling in panels with the participation of so-called substitutes is not a court established by law. "Constitutional Tribunal Rulings" issued in such panels will be published with a suitable note - wrote Maciej Berek, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers, on Twitter.
Konstytucja nakazuje przestrzegać prawa międzynarodowego. Polskę wiążą więc orzeczenia ETPC, zgodnie z którymi TK orzekający w składach z udz. tzw. dublerów nie jest sądem ustanowionym zgodnie z ustawą. "Orzeczenia TK" wydane w takich składach publikowane będą ze stosowną notą. pic.twitter.com/OZd3Na1oTW

We Cannot Throw Open Our Market to the Influx of Agricultural and Food Products from Ukraine
- It is unacceptable to our logical Polish thinking that this should happen this way.

It is not ruled out that some resolutions will be brought to the Sejm session

- We will see tomorrow at the Sejm presidium what Marshal Hołownia will introduce. Nothing is ruled out, but the decision rests with Marshal Hołownia (...) It is not ruled out that some resolutions will be brought to the Sejm session – he continued.

There Should Be No Trading Sundays

Resolution Declaring the National Media Council Illegal to be Presented Tomorrow After 8 AM in the Club, and We Will Sign It
- The resolution will be presented tomorrow after 8 AM in the club, and we will sign it. What is happening in public television also compels us to react more strongly to such matters – stated Michał Kołodziejczak in the program „Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.
- Everything must be done in accordance with the law. If the lawyers of Civic Coalition and the MPs, Minister Sienkiewicz, author such a law or regulation that is consistent with the law, then it must be done – he added.

Czarzasty:
Sooner or Later, Changes Are Certain at Public Television
- Sooner or later, the issue of public television, public media, and PAP [Polish Press Agency] must certainly be assessed, and changes must occur there (...) The entire sphere will be managed, and decisions will be made by Minister Sienkiewicz, to whom the media are subordinate, and he will make decisions in this matter, and we will support all those decisions – said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.

Czarzasty:
There Will Definitely Be a Motion to Bring Glapiński Before the State Tribunal
- Mr. Adam Glapiński will definitely face a motion to appear before the State Tribunal. The decision has not yet been made, but I believe it will be made. There are grounds for it. This bonus paid to Mr. Adam Glapiński is, in my opinion, another element of this arrogant scandal surrounding Mr. Glapiński – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.
