At 11:00, the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court will convene to rule on the validity of the parliamentary elections held on October 15, 2023.

At 11:00 – at the request of a group of PiS MPs – a hearing of the Constitutional Tribunal will take place concerning the procedure for bringing the President of the National Bank of Poland to constitutional responsibility. In practice, this concerns the Act on the State Tribunal. The hearing will be held by a five-judge panel, chaired by Julia Przyłębska.

At 15:00, in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, a joint conference of Szymon Hołownia's Poland 2050 and PSL, titled "The Third Way for large and small homelands," will be held. Marshal of the Sejm Szymon Hołownia and Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, along with local government officials, will participate in the conference.

At 16:00, a rally organized by PiS, "Protest of Free Poles," will commence in front of the Sejm, with the participation of Law and Justice leaders. Subsequently, the start of the march is scheduled for 18:00.

- As I understand it, it probably stemmed from frustration that they failed to detain MPs Kamiński and Wąsik before 11 AM. After all, I announced on Twitter that they would be at the Presidential Palace because a ceremony was to be held for the appointment of their associates as presidential advisors. The police knew, they failed to carry out the operation, then they got caught off guard and, probably frustrated by their morning incompetence, they did everything to make it a show - stated Marcin Mastalerek in a conversation with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- There is no one more concerned about the gentlemen parliamentarians than the president. He has met with them many times, and please note that yesterday Mariusz Kamiński's wife said on TV Republika that she would need permission to even apply for a pardon, because Kamiński never applied for a second one - stated Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM.

- Jan Rokita, in an opinion piece for Teologia Polityczna, states that the ruling camp, led by Donald Tusk, in its attack on procedural rule of law, is proceeding to introduce a kind of limited state of emergency in Poland, in order to carry out a revolution not seen even in the Third Reich, meaning the Soviet Union. These are the words of a former Civic Platform candidate for prime minister, and I believe one cannot remain indifferent to them - stated Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM.

- Yes, the president imagines functioning without the National Media Council, because that's how it was before - stated Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM.

- Distance, calm, reflection, a look from the outside at what he has led to, because it was he who signed these laws and regardless of what he thinks at this moment, he has led to a situation where chambers of the same court issue contradictory verdicts in the same cases. This is a problem for Polish statehood - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

- It would be useful, because we need to talk - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on the program "Guest of Radio Zet".

- The court made a decision, it did not register the minister's first decision in the National Court Register. Now there is a new situation, the companies, due to lack of funding, have been placed in liquidation, and soon we will have more. I am not sure of anything, because I am not a judge – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on the program “Gość Radia Zet”.

- I think that the duties of the Deputy Minister of Justice include supervision over the prison system, because this is the case, the minister should remember that such situations have occurred in Poland in the Third Republic, when such hunger strikes ended in death - stated Anna Maria Żukowska in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski in the program "Sedno sprawy" on Radio Plus.

- I hope that the health status, as it should be, of the gentlemen who have undertaken this hunger strike, will be monitored. They will be examined on an ongoing basis, so that nothing happens - she added.

- The ruling on the termination of former MP Kamiński's mandate has been published, and therefore, the procedure to fill this seat will commence - stated Szymon Hołownia in an interview with TVN24.

- Regarding the extinguished mandate of former MP Wąsik, I have postponed the commencement of this procedure until competent legal opinions are obtained, because this is too serious an issue to act in a manner that would raise any doubts whatsoever - Hołownia added.

President Andrzej Duda is currently meeting with the wives of Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik, the Presidential Chancellery has informed.

- I've decided, at the request of their wives, to initiate pardon proceedings. I want this proceeding to be conducted absolutely according to all constitutional and statutory standards, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, and also in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which supplement the constitutional provisions. This is a procedure initiated in the presidential mode. This means that my decision's first steps are directed to the Prosecutor General, because he must respond, such is the procedure - stated President Andrzej Duda during a statement for the media.

– I protest against limiting public access to the media. I assess that shutting down public media served this purpose. Creating a neo-TVN also served this purpose, for me the current state of public media is a second TVN. So why create a copy when the original exists – said Mariusz Błaszczak in Polsat News.

– I encourage everyone to watch all media. To use all media and form an opinion based on the images we can see, but in this whole spectrum of images, one very important broadcaster has disappeared, and that is contrary to the law. One cannot violate the legal order in this way, as the coalition of December 13th did – he continued.

- I am aware of this [that President Duda has initiated the pardon procedure]. If it leads to the right effects, because with our courts everything is uncertain, as this verdict should never have been passed, neither the second nor the first one, of course I am also referring to the decisions of the Labour Chamber of the Supreme Court, then it's good. That's a question for the President, not for me [why now] - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- In just an hour, the protest of free Poles. A protest against the violation of law, a protest against the introduction of rules from the martial law era. Because, after all, the TVP signal was turned off twice in history. Once on December 13, '81, and for the second time on December 20, 2023 - stated Mariusz Błaszczak on Polsat News.

- The nation has come here, the nation you fear has come here. The nation from which you fled with the Sejm session, before whom you have reinstated those fences again. Why are you afraid, Mr. Szymon Hołownia? Rotating Marshal, because you do not know and do not observe the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, you can only cry over it, nothing more. And the Constitution states that it is the nation. This nation exercises supreme authority, this nation is your boss, and you must apologize to this nation for violating the Constitution of the Republic of Poland - stated Przemysław Czarnek in Warsaw at the protest of Free Poles.

- You cannot treat judges appointed by the President of the Republic of Poland as non-judges. Even the same CJEU, on which you unlawfully relied earlier, told you this. The judges of the Chamber of Extraordinary Review and Public Affairs are legal Supreme Court judges, and it was they who stated that you, Mr. Marshal Szymon Hołownia, broke the law - he continued.

- It's about Poland here. We speak of free media, which are currently being destroyed. They want to have a monopoly here. We speak of breaking the rule of law, the Constitution, trampling on the law. Yes, all of that is true. A march through all institutions, which have a control function over the government, which were constructed, sometimes better, sometimes worse, precisely so that power would be controlled. That too is currently underway. And if we consider their announcements, then yes, they intend to destroy or take over all these institutions, and ultimately destroy the office of the president. And we cannot allow that - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the Protest of Free Poles.

- This is a plan to massively rob Poland and Poles. Because introducing the Euro means massive robbery, a significant decrease in living standards, and complete economic dependence on Germany. It also means the takeover of a large part of our assets held by the National Bank. Hence the attack on the National Bank, an attempt to take over this extremely important institution – stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the Protest of Free Poles.

- We must also fight in this way, although the final battle must take place at the ballot boxes. Which should be very carefully guarded by us, because as it actually was in these elections and in this referendum, truly no one knows. I am not postulating here the non-recognition of these elections, I am only stating that in many cases the secrecy of voting was not maintained, and various abuses could have occurred - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the Protest of Free Poles.

- There is an idea worth considering. Some of you are traveling towards Radom, through Radom, and some through Ostrołęka. Stop at these prisons and briefly demonstrate there for the release of both Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik, our two colleagues, brothers-in-arms, friends, because they are imprisoned for fighting corruption at high levels of society, and those who govern today do not accept that - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the Protest of Free Poles.

- We already have political prisoners back in Poland. A disgrace for the Republic of Poland under such a government. I also want to say to our dear colleagues. Mariusz Kamiński, Maciek Wąsik are sitting in prison because they fought corruption. This is unprecedented, just as bandits rejoice the most in what? In the fact that police officers are in prison. So that's why, let them, far away in prisons where they have been deported, hear our call, our voice, our cry. We are with you - stated Mateusz Morawiecki during the Protest of Free Poles.

- There was supposed to be a smiling Poland, right, and instead we have this perfidious smile, a hateful smile, the smile of Tusk's Joker. Everyone sees around them what is happening. To take over free media, they did not hesitate to liquidate these free media - stated Mateusz Morawiecki during the Protest of Free Poles.

- I want to address the voters of the Third Way. Did you really vote for a government that, in less than a month, attacked the courts? Yes, the courts, look at Bodnar's regulation, for a government that fights free media, that wants a media monopoly, so that all important media speak with one voice - stated Mateusz Morawiecki during the Protest of Free Poles.

- Is the Third Way supposed to be the third term for Tusk, or is it supposed to pave the way for those who will again say: there is no money and there won't be? No social policy, no leveling of opportunities, and concern for security is somewhere far down the list - he continued.

– I don't recall him [Andrzej Duda] and his circle being shaken by the feelings of, for example, Andrzej Lepper's wife or son; back then, no one was shaken. Suddenly, they are now basing their actions on the families of convicted individuals. I will remind you again, Kamiński and Wąsik have been lawfully convicted, they are criminals. Of course, their loved ones may defend them, but exploiting families and showing that "we don't care about your families who suffered back then," I will remind you, Andrzej Lepper is no longer alive. This needs to be remembered – stated Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus on TVN24's program "Kropka nad I".

- We will see what the President's act of grace will be like; if it includes expungement of the verdict, it is unequivocal that the gentlemen will retain their mandates. Of course they will [expungement of conviction means Kamiński and Wąsik will retain their mandates] – stated Mariusz Błaszczak in Polsat News.
