A Joint List in Local Elections Would Be a Natural Extension of What Happened on October 15th

Gawkowski on Coalition for Local Elections:
We Are Ready.
- The Left, in past elections and those ahead of us, will clearly declare that it is ready to run in large coalition blocs. If there were a desire from other partners to create such a bloc of four parties running together, the coalition of October 15th, we are ready. If it were to be some other formula, then it would probably be a formula similar to the elections to the Polish parliament - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski in an interview with Beata Michniewicz in "Trójka Political Salon".

Gawkowski Announces January Talks on Local Elections:
A Joint Declaration Will Be Issued.
- At this moment, I believe the most likely scenario is that we will repeat the approach of running in similar blocs as in the parliamentary elections, and these will be blocs that united Civic Coalition, Third Way, and The Left. However, I am not ruling out any scenario. The leaders of both The Left, Third Way, and Civic Coalition are scheduled for such talks in January. I think there will also be some joint declaration regarding the final direction that will be chosen - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski in "Salon polityczny Trójki" (Political Salon of Trójka).

Gawkowski:
Nobody is Talking About Presidential Elections Today. In the First Round, Every Party Should Nominate Its Own Candidate
- Many things are open, but nobody is talking about presidential elections today, because these presidential elections are still ahead of us and likely only after the European Parliament and local government election campaigns have concluded. A lot can happen in Polish politics in 1.5 years. I would like the opposition's candidate to win, but also today, if I were to aim for an answer on how this should be constructed, I think it should be constructed in such a way that every party nominates its own candidate in the first round, and in the second round, the opposition parties forming the government support their candidate who advanced to that round, unless there are two candidates, then it will look different and then there is the greatest chance for the current coalition to have its president - stated Krzysztof Gawkowski in "Trójka's Political Salon".

- 2024 is the year it will come into effect. It will appear in the first half of this year. More likely in March or April than in June or July. There is, of course, a concern that President Andrzej Duda may not have a particular will to sign it, but we believe there will be a will to discuss it - stated Bogdan Zdrojewski in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

Zdrojewski:
Bill to Liquidate the National Media Council is Ready. It's Even in the Freezer, as Speaker Witek Put It There
- The bill concerning the liquidation of the National Media Council is ready. It's even in the freezer, as Speaker Witek put it there. It was a project passed by the Senate. A good project, in which perhaps minor corrections might be needed due to the passage of time, but it is generally ready. The assumptions for a major media bill are ready. Some of these assumptions were discussed in 2023 - stated Bogdan Zdrojewski on the program "Gość Radia Zet".
09:11
- One or two laws will be needed to restore legal order. This order includes the competencies of the National Broadcasting Council and the National Media Council, which should be liquidated as soon as possible. Minister Sienkiewicz has quite a few tasks to undertake in the first place – stated Bogdan Zdrojewski on the program „Gość Radia Zet”.
09:12
Zdrojewski:
We have no guarantees regarding President Duda today
- Regarding President Andrzej Duda, we have no guarantees for anything today. That's the kind of president we have. When it comes to guarantees for PiS, they are very high, but I don't want to say 100 percent either, various things have happened there. The president was repeatedly dissatisfied with the media, expressed it, he was in dispute with Kurski, but Jarosław Kaczyński stamped his foot and everything returned to "normal" – stated Bogdan Zdrojewski on the program "Gość Radia Zet".
- I don't expect anything constructive from President Duda and his chancellery. I expect decisions that will be a source of turbulence for the government – he added.
12:01
- The Public Finance Committee will address the budget of the President's Chancellery. Maintaining two presidents and a host of advisors costs Poland far too much - wrote Civic Coalition MP Zdzisław Gawlik on Twitter.
Komisja Finansów Publicznych zajmie się budżetem Kancelarii Prezydenta. Utrzymanie dwóch prezydentów i masę doradców kosztuje Polskę stanowczo za dużo.

- The budgetary bill is an element of the budget act, and as we all know, the preparation of the budget act is the domain of the government, and in reality, the Minister of Finance. But I know why Mr. President did this – first, he succumbed to PiS's political pressure to veto a good budgetary bill, and he wanted to quickly try to fix his mistake. No such tricks with us, Mr. President – stated Tomasz Trela on RMF FM's program “Rozmowa w południe” (Midday Conversation).
- If you wanted to prepare anything, you had 8 years. You could have made requests, appealed, submitted individual draft bills. Now you messed up, and we fixed it after you, because yesterday at the committee session of public finance, at the first reading, the government's bill received a positive opinion. At the next Sejm session, we will deal with this bill, and the budgetary bill will be adopted. However, the President has once again allowed himself to be drawn into some unnecessary game that Mr. Jarosław Kaczyński is playing – he added.

Cieszę sie z decyzji Sądu Najwyższego w mojej sprawie .

Hołownia:
Kamiński's Parliamentary Mandate Expired. His MP ID Will Not Work at the Next Sejm Session
- Mariusz Kamiński's parliamentary mandate has expired. Consequently, his MP ID will not be valid at the next Sejm session, and he will be able to enter the building like any guest wishing to visit the parliament grounds. If the Supreme Court issues a different stance on this matter, he has the right to take a position on it, and then we will verify and change our decisions. For now, the situation is clear - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

I Advise Caution Regarding Journalistic Sensationalism
- Yes, it's me, and I'm writing from my own phone. I advise caution regarding journalistic sensationalism - Minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz wrote on Twitter.

Kamiński:
In the Eyes of the Law, I Am Innocent, Unconvicted, and a Member of Parliament
- In the eyes of the law, I am an innocent, unconvicted person and I am a Member of Parliament. This is my factual status. It is being challenged, of course - stated Mariusz Kamiński in an interview with Danuta Holecka on TV Republika.
19:48
Tomczyk:
I have no doubt that Wąsik and Kamiński should be imprisoned as soon as possible

Kamiński:
From Behind Bars, I Will Continue Public Activity As Much As Possible
- I am not afraid of anything. I come from the 80s, when I started my activity as a young boy, a student. I was one of the activists of the underground Independent Students' Association, and I was repeatedly detained by the Security Service (SB). I am not afraid of anything. What I did, I did for Poland, for the Polish state. I am proud of it, I regret nothing, and from behind bars, I will continue my public activity as much as possible. I will never give in - stated Mariusz Kamiński on TV Republika.
20:04
Kamiński:
A Grim Dictatorship is Forming. On January 10th, I Will Go to the Sejm and Represent My Voters
- I will be faithful to them [my voters], I will not back down. On January 10th, if I am free, if they don't stop me by force, there is another Sejm session. Regardless of Mr. Hołownia's decision, of this December 13th coalition, a grim dictatorship is forming. I will go there, not in my own interest, but by the will of my voters. They gave me a mandate to act, and I will represent them, unless they physically prevent me from entering the chamber - stated Mariusz Kamiński on TV Republika.

- I have a certain trust in Marshal Hołownia in this matter; he is acting correctly, and this entire situation, this entire crisis, is not a question of the state of the judiciary, or the state of the Supreme Court. It is not about the fact that a body, which is not a court, as stated by the Court of Justice of the European Union, is attempting to rule single-handedly on such important matters. The Marshal's actions are entirely appropriate - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Monika Olejnik on the TVN24 program “Kropka nad I”.
20:31
Siemoniak:
Minister Sienkiewicz's Actions Were All Legal, and I Have No Doubts About It
- All of Minister Sienkiewicz's actions were in accordance with the law, and I have no doubts about it. I don't want to comment on this matter if the prosecutor's office itself or Minister Sienkiewicz himself has not said anything. I think if, hypothetically, the prosecutor's office were trying to act against the government, against the state, by participating in some such political projects, that would be very bad. So I hope these reports are greatly exaggerated - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the TVN24 program "Kropka nad I".
