Manowska:

In a Democratic Rule of Law State, Everyone Has the Right to Their Own Opinion. I Am Not Packing Up.

- In a democratic rule of law state, everyone has the right to their own opinion, their own views. I am definitely not packing up - stated Małgorzata Manowska on Polsat News's program "Graffiti".

08:24

Gramatyka:

The Government Will Be Complete by Mid-January

- I think this process [of forming the government] is slowly coming to fruition, because the government's composition is gradually sailing towards completion. The government will probably fully emerge by mid-January – stated Michał Gramatyka on the program "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

Gramatyka:

TVP Changes Were Legal Actions, Sienkiewicz's Steps Supported by Legal Authorities

- I am in favour of the view that the exercise of ownership rights by the Minister of Culture, meaning the convening of a general meeting, the appointment of a supervisory board, and the delegation of a new CEO of TVP by the supervisory board, were actions taken within the law. What's more, such authorities as, for instance, Prof. Ewa Łętowska, support this view. Or my personal, one of the greatest authorities in Poland in the field of the Commercial Companies Code, Prof. Michał Romanowski – said Michał Gramatyka on TVN24.

- It [the liquidation status] is much more legally flexible than what was before. There is no need to wait for court decisions regarding registration, there is no legal dispute, there is a liquidator. This liquidator takes over the functions of the management board, can make decisions. On the other hand, this state, this open liquidation status also causes a change in the financial situation, because employees are somewhat safer – he continued.

08:25

Gramatyka on the President's Veto of the Budget with Teacher Salary Increases: Not All His Moves Are Rational

- I think that funds for salary increases for teachers will be found in the budget after all. This is the only law that Mr. President cannot veto, as seen even by this gesture of Mr. President, not all his moves are rational – stated Michał Gramatyka on TVN24.

08:26

Gramatyka:

Messrs. Wąsik and Kamiński are Not MPs, They Are Criminals

- Messrs. Wąsik and Kamiński are not Members of Parliament; their mandates have expired as a result of a final judgment by the Court of Appeal (...) Messrs. Wąsik and Kamiński are criminals, and criminals, as is widely known, have different value systems. Not necessarily those held by the rest of society – stated Michał Gramatyka on TVN24.

Zgorzelski on Vetoing the Budgetary Bill: The Head of State Has Scored a Double Own Goal
- In my opinion, the Head of State, with this decision [vetoing the budgetary bill], has scored a double own goal. The first own goal [...] public sector employees who were counting on raises, knew that the President's decision deprives them of these raises, that's the first issue. The President's second own goal is that, in reality, by wanting to save what was important to PiS, namely the party television, he has enabled, and I'm using quotation marks here, Minister Sienkiewicz to implement the move concerning the liquidation – said Piotr Zgorzelski in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia ZET".

08:49

Zgorzelski:

Government Will Submit New Supplementary Budget Bill, Parliamentary Majority Will Consider Government's Proposal
- The President can only convene one Sejm session, the first one, which he has already done. Subsequent Sejm sessions are convened by the Marshal of the Sejm in agreement with the Sejm Presidium [...]. The government will submit a new supplementary budget bill, and the parliamentary majority will consider the government's proposal - Piotr Zgorzelski said on Radio ZET. - No [the issue of the president's veto will not be put to a vote], because the president did not consult on these actions in any way, so if he did not consult, let him count on [...] his political group - he continued.

08:52

Manowska on TVP Changes: "I wonder if, as the classic says, a pile of stones will remain after this reform"

– I don't really associate this decision with culture, first of all, but it is a political decision. I don't know Minister [Sienkiewicz's] motives. I wonder if, as the classic says, a pile of stones will remain after this reform – stated Małgorzata Manowska on the program "Graffiti" Polsat News.

08:53

Manowska:

Bodnar's Reforms Start Poorly, Not with Dialogue or Assessment, but with Harsh Tools
“I certainly assess this negatively from the perspective of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, as the Minister of Justice’s regulation, which is intended to come into force, directly violates constitutional standards,” stated Małgorzata Manowska on the “Graffiti” program on Polsat News. “Minister Bodnar is starting his reforms poorly, not with dialogue, not with an assessment of the situation, but with such very harsh tools,” she added.

08:58

Zgorzelski on Potential PSL Support for the Civil Partnerships Bill: "We are very cautious, there are concerns."
- The bill on civil partnerships is a bit like Yeti, everyone talks about it, nobody has seen it [...]. If the bill concerning civil partnerships includes these principles [...] regulations on medical information or inheritance matters, and if that were included in the bill, then I wouldn't rule out that many MPs [...] of the Polish People's Party might consider voting for it - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio ZET. - We are very cautious because we don't know what will be in this law. There are these concerns [...] whether this law, for example, will also include the possibility of same-sex couples entering into marriage, or adoption of children by these couples. [...] If there are issues that are unacceptable to the conservative environment, which the Polish People's Party is, then it certainly won't be a government bill, it will have to be an MP's bill, that's obvious - he continued.

09:03

Zgorzelski:

We are very keen for Sroka to chair the Pegasus parliamentary committee
- Once we finalize and agree on this matter, [Magdalena Sroka will become the chairwoman of the Pegasus parliamentary committee]. [...] We are very keen, we will try to ensure this happens by convincing our coalition partners, but if it doesn't work out, the coalition will not fall apart because of it. The decision may still be made before the end of the year - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio ZET.

09:07

Zgorzelski on the Vote to Dismiss Bosak: The Club's Decision Lies Ahead
- He is a deputy speaker nominated by a group that cannot account for its member who behaved scandalously. On this matter [potential dismissal of Krzysztof Bosak from the position of Deputy Speaker of the Sejm], I have my own opinion, I have expressed it, however, I will adhere to the club's decision, and that is yet to come - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio ZET.

PiS MPs Intervene at Polish Radio: "Liquidation Efforts Lack Legal Basis"

PiS MPs Mariusz Błaszczak, Krzysztof Szczucki, and Andrzej Śliwka announced they are at the Polish Radio headquarters for a parliamentary intervention. They are accompanied by the former CEO of Polish Radio, Agnieszka Kamińska.



"In the face of threats that await Poland, the liquidation of Polish Radio is something that should not happen. But since we have heard about it, we expect explanations from Mr. Paweł Majcher, whether he is indeed the liquidator, and on what basis he was appointed to such a position," said Mariusz Błaszczak during a press briefing.

"According to the law, if there are financial difficulties - and there are no financial difficulties in the case of Polish Radio - the company is not put into liquidation but into restructuring, and thus [...] a bankruptcy trustee is appointed by the court," he continued.

"A company established by law cannot be put into liquidation, so these actions we are hearing about appear to be for show, everything indicates that [...]. Today we hear that actions are being taken to liquidate Polish Radio. We believe that such actions lack legal grounds and we demand explanations from Mr. Paweł Majcher, who - as announced yesterday by Colonel Sienkiewicz - has been appointed the liquidator of Polish Radio," he stated.

11:22

Gliński:

PAP's Funding Has Nothing to Do with PLN 3 Billion. Did Sienkiewicz Act Knowingly or Break the Law?

- The justification concerns the claim that this is due to a lack of funding. Regarding PAP, I wanted to point out that the funding for this institution has nothing to do with the PLN 3 billion and potentially with the budget-related act, because even in your presentation, this is included. PAP is co-financed by grants from part 24, i.e., from the Ministry of Culture. So, from the budget, not from an extra-budgetary act, and PAP finances itself for nearly 90%, meaning the reasons for this simulated liquidation are also false – stated Piotr Gliński at a meeting of the Sejm's Culture Committee.

- Every responsible parliamentarian, acting on behalf of Polish society, is obligated to ask Minister Sienkiewicz why he made the decision, whether he was unaware that this funding comes from a different source and has nothing to do with the budget-related act? Or did he do it intentionally and consciously break the law? – he continued.

11:30

Zdrojewski:

We Are Saving Public Media. Suski: Jaruzelski Also Restored Democracy

- I consider this topic significant and important, however, I do not share the assessment that has emerged, which was that public media is being destroyed. Quite the opposite – I believe we are dealing with a situation of saving public media and returning it to the public, eliminating partisan content and messages that were inconsistent with its public mission – stated Bogdan Zdrojewski during a meeting of the Sejm's culture committee.

- By destroying the archive, by shutting down the signal. Jaruzelski also restored democracy – replied Marek Suski.

11:52

Błaszczak:

We are either facing the liquidation of Polish Radio, or cosmetic actions aimed at personnel changes in the management.
- In the case of Polish Radio, the financial situation, all indications suggest, is good. If, however, the financial situation were bad, then this is not the format to fix the financial situation. Not putting Polish Radio into liquidation, but companies into bankruptcy, and the bankruptcy trustee is decided by a court, not the Minister of Culture - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference. - We heard no answer to the fundamental question, what was the premise for putting Polish Radio into liquidation. Mr. Majcher did not answer such a question, he spoke about building the strength of Polish Radio, which from the perspective of the function he holds, that of a liquidator, is logically contradictory. A liquidator, based on the Commercial Companies Code, is appointed to liquidate a company, not to rebuild it. We left a series of questions in writing, and we are awaiting answers to these questions - he continued. - These actions aimed at the liquidation of Polish Radio, we consider reprehensible. [...] Either we are dealing with the actual liquidation of Polish Radio, which would be extremely harmful to the Polish state [...] or we are dealing with superficial actions, meaning a ploy designed to cause personnel changes regarding the management of Polish Radio. So, either one or the other scenario is being carried out, implemented by Colonel Sienkiewicz. Both of these scenarios, in our opinion, are illegal - he went on to say.

12:04

Błaszczak on the Liquidation of Public Media: These are Actions Conducted in Russia or Belarus
- We stand for the rule of law. We are dealing with a power grab of the media. Indeed, if the majority, the coalition of December 13th, wanted to change the authorities of public media, they could do so through a law, but we are dealing with an attempt at a forceful takeover of public media. This threatens freedom of speech, these are unacceptable actions, these are actions straight from the East. These are actions conducted in Russia or Belarus. We do not accept such actions, which is why we stand for legal order and oppose the liquidation of Polish Radio and public media - stated Mariusz Błaszczak during a press conference. - These media have very important tasks in a situation of threat to our country's security, these tasks must be performed, therefore, we are either dealing with simulated actions by a liquidator, or we are dealing with an attempt to liquidate Polish Radio, and in both cases, these are harmful actions from the perspective of state security - he continued. - Restructuring, older people will remember, in the 90s meant closing companies, so if they talk about restructuring and liquidation here, restructuring meant layoffs and closing companies, we will not agree to that. Polish Radio plays a very important role when it comes to the security of our homeland - he added.

12:12

Pełczyńska:

Poland Receives €5 Billion from the RePowerEU Program, Part of the KPO
Poland has just received €5 billion from the RePowerEU program, which is part of the KPO. This money is intended for affordable green energy for Polish citizens – informed Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Twitter.

13:02

Świrski:

Sienkiewicz's Decision to Liquidate Public Media Incurs Costs Unrelated to Public Media

- If public television and Polish Radio have been put into liquidation, there is, let's call it a liquidator, and there is an asset of enormous value, which is part of the state's critical infrastructure in terms of security and alarm systems. If this is liquidated, the Polish state will have to build its own alarm system, which will require substantial funds to simply rebuild it - stated Maciej Świrski during a meeting of the Sejm's Culture Committee.

- Let's remember that Minister Sienkiewicz's decision, whatever its ownership aspect, is completely irresponsible. Putting public media into liquidation incurs costs entirely unrelated to public media or state security. This is very important when considering this budget - he added.

13:10

Suski:

You Are Heading Towards the Shore with Axes, We Are Simply Asking to Uphold the Law

- As long as free associations still exist for now, and they would also like to take a stance and ask the Chairman, as long as this council still exists and as long as you are not liquidating a constitutional body, as you have already raised your hand against this institution in other matters – stated Marek Suski during a parliamentary committee on culture and media.

- Mr. Chairman, I naturally understand that you are in a difficult situation, because limiting financing possibilities may lead to the inability to conduct the council's activities in many areas, but I hope that after this council, because you probably had an extraordinary one too, you will announce the plans regarding the protection of the right to information, freedom of speech, or whether you intend to examine the mission, what are the losses from this title. Because after all, only public television has this obligation to fulfill its mission, or will you offer some kind of support to journalists unlawfully dismissed from public media and similar actions (…). You are heading towards the shore with axes, we are simply asking to uphold the law - he added.

13:14

Świrski:

I will file another report with the prosecutor's office regarding the violation of vital state interests

- From the perspective of disciplining the owner, the National Broadcasting Council has no tools; we can only file an appeal with the court against this liquidation decision. If we have standing, then analyses are currently underway - stated Maciej Świrski at a meeting of the Sejm Culture Committee.

- As I informed yesterday, I have filed a report with the prosecutor's office regarding the suspicion of a crime committed by Minister Sienkiewicz, concerning actions detrimental to the company. Since I filed it in the morning, there was no information yet about the company's liquidation, which is all the more an action detrimental to these companies - he continued.

- I will probably also file a report with the prosecutor's office regarding the violation of vital state interests by handing over critical infrastructure to unauthorized hands, because from a legal standpoint, we are dealing with persons not authorized to manage this property and this infrastructure - added the head of KRRiT.

13:15

Świrski:

This Morning I Signed a Document Calling on Foreign Individuals, Acting Without Authorization and Managing Public Assets, to Launch TVP Info

- Today I have already acted, this morning I signed a document calling on foreign individuals, acting without authorization and managing public assets, to launch TVP Info, because it is stipulated in its charter of duties. If they do not comply, appropriate consequences will be drawn - stated Maciej Świrski at a meeting of the parliamentary culture committee.

13:15

Suski:

We Were Attacked by Little Green Men

- The source of the trouble is the brazen attack on these [public] media. Some little green men attacked us - stated Marek Suski during a parliamentary culture committee meeting.

- I share this opinion and ask MPs and Senators from PiS to also leave the buildings - replied Bogdan Zdrojewski.

13:39

Lichocka:

You are behaving like an organized criminal group
- You are smiling, you have tired faces, but you are participating in this. Madam Minister, I know that you think only Mr. Sienkiewicz and Mr. Tusk will be responsible for this. No, you are all participating in this. You are behaving, please forgive me, but in my opinion, like an organized criminal group – said Joanna Lichocka during the meeting of the Sejm Culture Committee.

13:43

Gliński:

Sienkiewicz's Decisions Are Unlawful. This is an Operation to Introduce Social Terror Against Society

- This is something that should be conveyed to Polish society. Both of Sienkiewicz's decisions are unlawful, they are a violation of the law, and such an obvious violation of the law, hence our civic and parliamentary interventions, because it is a blatant violation of the law. Most likely intentional, because the operation in Poland right now is much broader than just violating democracy and gagging, censoring the media. This is an operation to introduce social terror against society. Forcing society to accept further acts of lawlessness and the extinguishing of Polish democracy – stated Piotr Gliński in the Sejm.

14:03

Tusk:

First European Transfer Already in Poland's Account. Done, As Promised

– The first European transfer is already in the account of the Polish State! Over 20 billion PLN! Done, as I promised – Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on Twitter.

14:44

Ombudsman:

Appointing Heads of Public Media Companies Directly by the Government is Unconstitutional

- On constitutional grounds, a mechanism involving the direct appointment of members of management boards and supervisory boards of public media companies by the government or government members is inadmissible. It does not matter whether this is based on provisions of commercial law - wrote the Commissioner for Human Rights, Marcin Wiącek, in an address to the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz.

- Restoring public radio and television operations to a state of compliance with the Constitution and international law requires an urgent amendment of the regulations - believes the Commissioner for Human Rights.

- The amendment should align with the recommendations from the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling and the Ombudsman's statements. It is necessary to involve the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) in the procedures for appointing and dismissing public media authorities. The Council of Ministers, its members, as well as extra-constitutional bodies like the National Media Council (RMN), should not have direct influence on the composition of public media company bodies - emphasizes Wiącek.

15:10

Czarnek:

PiS Parliamentary Control at PAP Concluded. Further Presence Here Made No Sense
- The parliamentary control [at PAP] has been concluded. All questions have been answered, we have the complete picture that has emerged from all of this. I repeat, a clear abuse of law by Mr. Sienkiewicz, who fictionally introduced a state of liquidation for a strategic information company, which will not be liquidated – stated Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Radio Wnet. - We concluded our watch this morning; we made that decision jointly, as we were on duty here since 6:00 AM. Before 8:00 AM, we communicated with the authorities of our club, because in the new legal situation, meaning this fictional, yet actual state of liquidation, further presence here made no sense. Therefore, we returned for the control, in order to clarify the entire situation; we have the full picture – he continued.

17:23

Duda:

After my veto, 3 billion PLN suddenly appeared for the treatment of severely ill children. This is wonderful news, it could have been done like this from the start
After my veto, in the new draft of the government's budget-related bill, 3 billion PLN for the treatment of severely ill children suddenly appeared. This is wonderful news! It could have been done like this from the start! - wrote President Andrzej Duda on Twitter.

17:56

Kamiński:

They're Racing to See Who Gets to Prison Fastest – It's Indecent

- I obtained my parliamentary mandate not out of Mr. Hołownia's grace, but through the will of my 44,000 voters. I am a Member of Parliament, and all actions taken here are illegal. What the man who presented himself as the Marshal's cabinet director did, interfering with the committee's session, having invited us here beforehand. We are on the list, we participate in votes. All these actions are illegal, they were done illegally. You, so-called free media, are participating in staged events. This is a race to see who can get to prison the fastest; it's indecent, what has been done. I want to say this: I know that Marshal Hołownia has decided to revoke our mandates. I believe this decision is illegal, and I will appeal – Mariusz Kamiński said in the Sejm.

- This decision is to be delivered to me, I will not be pestered. First, I am invited to a committee, because the Sejm Chancellery invited me to the committee today. Individually, to my phone, I received this invitation today as a Member of Parliament, and rightly so. Because my mandate has not expired. There is a certain procedure that must be followed, and Mr. Hołownia must adhere to procedures and the law – he continued.

17:58

Kamiński:

Regardless of My Future Fate, I Will Act Publicly Until the End, Even from Prison

- I also want to state clearly, regardless of how my fate unfolds further, I will act publicly until the end, even from prison. I am determined to fight for the Polish state and for decency in public life. It cannot be that people who fought against corruption go to prison, but this is a symbol of these times, this is a symbol of these times, with which I will never reconcile and will fight until the end – stated Mariusz Kamiński in the Sejm.

17:59

Wąsik:

Nothing was delivered to us, this is some kind of farce, a setup likely with TVN television

- Nothing was delivered to us, this is some kind of farce. I have never seen, I am a Member of Parliament for the third term, I have never seen this type of situation, where some parliamentary official, at the time when the Minister of the Interior and Administration is presenting the budget, comes and obstructs MPs from performing their duties. This is a scandal, this is some kind of complete setup, likely with TVN television – stated Maciej Wąsik in the Sejm.

19:38

KRRiT Adopts Position on Placing Public Media Companies into Liquidation

- During today's extraordinary session, the National Broadcasting Council adopted a Position regarding the unlawful dissolution of public media companies and placing them into liquidation - informed Maciej Świrski on Twitter.

19:56

Kierwiński:

I understand that Wąsik and Kamiński still feel defiant today, but once the court issues the appropriate order, they likely won't be so arrogant.
- I understand that Messrs. [Maciej Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński] still feel defiant and arrogant today, but as soon as the court issues the appropriate order, they likely won't be so arrogant. Everything is clear in this matter: the gentlemen have been convicted by a Polish court, and sooner or later this verdict will be carried out, said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach." - The police will act lawfully in this matter. When there are court decisions regarding the escort of both gentlemen to a place of detention, then they will act. But we are waiting for the court's decision, he added.

20:11

Kierwiński:

I am surprised that President Duda continues to defend PiS media
- For the last 8 years, Poles have not had public media; they had the PiS radio station. The decisions made by Minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz were intended to restore public media to Poles. If you ask me whether every step was planned – probably, as in any operation of this kind, unexpected things happen, but the effect is that today at 7:30 PM, as for several days now, Poles can see real news - said Marcin Kierwiński in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach". - I do not understand President Duda's decision regarding the veto of the budget-related bill. […] He probably did not have such an intention [to introduce liquidators to public media]; he rather wanted to show that nothing will change in public media - he continued. - I am surprised that President Duda continues to defend PiS media so steadfastly. Times have changed; it is obvious that Poles have said: we have had enough of this blunt propaganda. And the President still seems not to understand that we live in a different Poland now, that after October 15th, what was, will not return - continued the Minister of Interior and Administration.

20:15

Scheuring-Wielgus to Ociepa: What you're doing is a riot. A parliamentary intervention is not about occupying public institutions
- I deeply regret that my colleague, a former minister and now a Member of Parliament [Marcin Ociepa], seems not to have fully read up on what a parliamentary intervention entails. The Act on the Exercise of the Office of a Member of Parliament and Senator clearly and unequivocally states what it involves. [...] An intervention means that you first send an email to the institution you wish to scrutinize, you arrange a meeting, you go to that institution, you are placed in a room where you receive documents and you can examine them to your heart's content - stated Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus on TVN24. - What you are doing is a riot. This is something that should never have happened in the Polish legal order, nor in the conduct of Members of Parliament and Senators. A parliamentary intervention does not mean occupying the seats of public institutions. It does not involve, as Mr. Macierewicz did, pushing employees of the Polish Press Agency [...] nor is it done like Mr. Ozdoba, who approached employees on their way to work and demanded their identification on the street - she continued.

20:21

Scheuring-Wielgus:

We Want Public Media to Be Free of Hate and Slander
- First and foremost, we want public media to convey information, be reliable, free of hate, free of animosity, and to refrain from slandering, for example, the LGBT+ community, so that there are no situations where certain communities or individuals are discriminated against. We do not want this. Public media over the last eight years, the media chosen by the Law and Justice party, incited hatred against people - said Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus on TVN24.

20:24

Kierwiński:

PiS MPs Conducting Alleged Parliamentary Interventions Aim for Escalation. Police Acted Professionally
- I hope that this parliamentary intervention [by PiS politicians] – although it has nothing to do with a real parliamentary intervention – will end very quickly. Today it ended at PAP, we are waiting for the same decision regarding Plac Powstańców – said Marcin Kierwiński in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts). - The role of the police is to maintain order, but also not to escalate. The PiS MPs who are conducting these alleged parliamentary interventions are precisely aiming for such an escalation. The police acted very professionally here – they lowered the temperature, defended critical infrastructure at Woronicza, and led to the gentlemen from the so-called parliamentary control leaving PAP. I hope that this consistent action will also lead to them leaving Plac Powstańców – he continued.

20:27

Kwaśniewski on Changes at TVP: They Cannot Come to Terms with the Defeat, That Their Main Propaganda Outlet Has Stopped Working

- They are fighting to have things as they were, meaning to have influence over public television, which is impossible. I think this is a confusion of two problems: a psychological one, meaning they cannot come to terms with defeat and cannot accept that their main propaganda outlet has stopped working. Politically, I think the goal is to unite their hardest-core electorate, to show that such a great injustice is happening, perhaps to create another myth for the next elections, that they are the defenders of media pluralism against the actions of the Tusk government and the coalition of October 15th - stated Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program “Kropka nad i”.

20:34

Kwaśniewski:

I Believe Tusk's Legal Team and His Majority Have This Well Thought Out and Will Defend This Decision

- I believe that Donald Tusk's legal team and his majority have this all well thought out and will defend this decision, because these matters will certainly be discussed and assessed by the courts. Certainly, such conclusions will come from PiS, but I believe that the parliamentary majority will defend itself with these decisions - stated Aleksander Kwaśniewski in the TVN24 program “Kropka nad i”.

20:35

Kierwiński:

New Police Chief Introduced Order Prohibiting Face Coverings During Interventions
- Yesterday, the new Chief Commander [of Police], appointed on Friday, introduced an order, a regulation, stating that the days of covering faces during interventions are over. I had previously stated this very clearly - the police will not serve as a security agency for any politician. It will not be used to protect MP Kaczyński's private parties. This is a process - a process of restoring trust in the Polish police - said Marcin Kierwiński on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach".
