Mastalerek:
If Tusk wants it, CPK can even be named Pegasus, as long as it gets built
- I have such a proposal. If Donald Tusk wants it, then this airport, CPK, can even be named Pegasus, as long as it gets built. For the President, only the goal matters - stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.
- Donald Tusk only discussed Pegasus in the media. There was no [discussion without the media], because there was a conversation between the President and the Prime Minister and individual ministers regarding nuclear power, CPK, and armaments. It was a substantive conversation, and the President achieved his goal - he added.

Mastalerek:
The President Will Hold Meetings Where Investments Are Being Realized
The President will do everything to ensure it is established, and a declaration was made that it is indeed an investment they want to undertake, but an audit will reveal the extent. And today, among other reasons, the President will hold meetings at the location where [investments will be realized]. He will have both open and closed meetings, because we are convinced that the politicians of the ruling coalition can be, colloquially speaking, compelled to build the CPK when there is public support – stated Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM.
08:14
Mastalerek:
President Invited Bosak to the Presidential Palace
- The President has invited Krzysztof Bosak to the Presidential Palace today at 11:00 AM. Such a meeting will take place; the palace doors are open. Bosak formally requested such a meeting in writing, and today at 11:00 AM it will happen at the Palace. Journalists will be invited to the beginning of this meeting - stated Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM.
08:25
Mastalerek on Constitutional Reset: 'It Seems to Me It Won't Happen. The Current Government Isn't Interested'
- It seems to me that it won't happen [a constitutional reset]. The current government isn't interested in it and they won't want to do it. They need fuel for the upcoming elections, the upcoming campaigns, and I believe that Krzysztof Bosak has good ideas, noble ideals guide him, but there will be no genuine interest from the government camp - stated Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM.
08:31
Mastalerek:
There is no reason for the President to appear before any investigative committee
There is no reason for President Duda to appear before any investigative committee. So I cannot imagine it. [If the committee summons him], then the President will respond, I will not respond on behalf of the President and I will not anticipate what will happen, but I cannot imagine it, there is no slightest reason for the President to appear before an investigative committee. It seems to me that he will not - stated Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM.

Siekierski:
The Government Does Not Support Protests, But This Time Farmers Are Protesting for a Just Cause
- The government does not support protests, but this time farmers are protesting for a just cause, because the situation regarding farmers' income levels is indeed very difficult – Czesław Siekierski said in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the "Gość Radia ZET" program.
- I fear [a paralysis of the country], but this is a permissible form that is consistent with the law. So, if they [the protests] are registered, then I permit it – he continued.
08:48
Siekierski:
New Form of Liberalization for Ukrainian Products Includes Significant Safety Guarantees
- This new form of liberalization [regarding products from Ukraine], which will be introduced [in the EU] as a continuation of the current one from June 2024, incorporates certain significant safety guarantees for the market, some brakes that will allow this trade liberalization to be kept within certain bounds - said Czesław Siekierski in an interview with Radio ZET.
08:50
Siekierski on the Green Deal: Yes, the EU Has Gone Too Far
- Yes, we have gone too far, the Union has gone too far - said Czesław Siekierski on Radio ZET when asked if the Green Deal is madness that should be stopped.
08:54
Siekierski on Poland's Ban on Agricultural Imports from Ukraine: 'It Contradicts EU Principles'
- The introduction of a ban [on agricultural imports from Ukraine] falls under the purview of the Ministry of Innovation and Development, as trade matters are handled there. Of course, it will be inconsistent with EU principles. [...] If a situation arises in certain markets, concerning sugar first and foremost, perhaps poultry, perhaps honey, we will apply for it. The Union somewhat turned a blind eye to our ban regarding grain – said Czesław Siekierski on Radio ZET.
08:56
Siekierski:
I'm Probably the First Minister of Agriculture to Support Farmer Protests
- I am probably the first Minister of Agriculture to support farmer protests. As a result, I have been with them at protests, I have been to the border many times, I am talking with them [...] and I would like to remind you that the farmers' protests began in the autumn - said Czesław Siekierski on Radio ZET.
09:01
Siekierski on Ukrainians Voting in Polish Local Elections: I Would Consider It, It Doesn't Necessarily Have to Be Tied to Citizenship
- If it's a longer period of stay, then a solution that offers a chance must be found. I am not a specialist in this area, it is difficult for me to define it, but I think that with some longer period of stay, because it doesn't always have to be necessarily connected with citizenship, but with a form that would confirm their life and functioning here - Czesław Siekierski said on Radio ZET, when asked whether Ukrainian citizens living in Poland should be able to vote in local elections.
- I would consider it, but I would define the rules - he continued.
09:14
Siewiera:
Today, the first Security Committee meeting of this government
Today, the first Security Committee meeting of this government will take place, which is a joint session chaired by the Prime Minister, the Minister of National Defence, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of the Interior, concerning security matters of the most sensitive, classified as strictly secret. Among other things, we exchanged a few remarks regarding this meeting. Yes, [I will participate], as the President's representative, I have been invited, and I am a member of the committee - stated Jacek Siewiera in an interview with Dariusz Ociepa on Polsat News' "Graffiti" program.
09:30
Leszczyna:
I hope the president signs the "morning-after" pill law
- I hope he [the president signs the law on the "morning-after" pill without a prescription]. Indeed, in 25 European Union countries, this pill is available and it is available without age restrictions. We are introducing 15 years [as the age limit] due to the fact that we have a Penal Code and sexual intercourse with a minor is punishable by imprisonment. Hence the 15 years - said Izabela Leszczyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz in "Salon polityczny Trójki" on PR3.
- The pill is safe for the health of a young girl too. The pill prevents fertilization - she added.
09:36
Leszczyna:
I am in favor of banning the sale of disposable e-cigarettes
- These [disposable e-cigarettes] are indeed a plague, and we will protect young people in particular. We are just beginning work on this at the Ministry of Health with the Department of Public Health and Medicine, in consultation with the Ministry of Finance as well - said Izabela Leszczyna in "Salon polityczny Trójki" PR3.
- I would like to ban such sales altogether... I will absolutely advocate for this and ask the Council of Ministers to agree with my point of view - she declared.
09:49
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
Despite Our Differences with the President, Such Talks are Crucial for Poland's National Interest
– These topics we discussed, for me especially the topic of security, modernization, and transformation. We are no longer just talking about modernizing, but transforming the army, which is particularly important. But it was a substantive, good, calm discussion, so I think such meetings, despite the differences between us and the President, are very necessary for the cause of national interest, meaning for the state of Poland's security – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in TOK FM.
– I think [the President] might not have known that there is no secured funding for many of the projects in the multi-year perspective, that I also mentioned this in the National Defence Committee, that matters related to infrastructure were not taken into account, because it's not just about purchasing equipment, but about the entire infrastructure – he continued.
09:50
Leszczyna:
I'm Ready to Sign Three Average National Salaries Today if Doctors Work Under Employment Contracts
- I am ready to sign three average national salaries even today, if doctors work under employment contracts, not on individual contracts - said Izabela Leszczyna in the "Political Salon of Trójka" on PR3.
09:50
Kosiniak-Kamysz on F35 Fighter Jet Contract: It's Signed, We'll Implement It This Year, Our Soldiers Will Fly Our F35s in the USA
- Yes, I will be meeting with him today [with the President of Lockheed Martin] for a brief, brief meeting. This is one of the more important partners, the F35 contract is of course signed, and we will be implementing it already this year. Our soldiers in the United States will be flying our F35s – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on TOK FM.
09:52
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
Europe Should Suspend Important Projects, Even Long-Term Ones, and Reallocate Funds to Security
Europe needs to wake up. Europe, wake up. Europe needs to move towards security and development. I'm not just saying this in our conversation; we're saying it in bilateral meetings, in dozens of discussions. I think the sentiment is much greater than ever before. I recently met with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and he also expressed [this sentiment]. I believe visits to Ukraine change a great deal – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on TOK FM.
I deeply believe, and we will do everything we can, for a large part of the funds available to the EU to go towards the arms industry. We need to rebuild, to increase production capacities in many areas. Europe should sometimes suspend all other important projects, even those long-term ones, a little, and shift the lever, move towards security. If we don't survive, if we don't get through this coming year and the next, what good are our dreams for 2040 and 2050, for climate goals that, one way or another, will be unattainable – he continued.
I believe we should be ready for all scenarios, at any moment, and there's no point in waiting and setting ten-year perspectives – he added.

09:53
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
I'm Interested in Talking with PiS About Constitutional Changes Regarding the Constitutional Tribunal
In the coming days, we will see this draft; I think it's a matter of next week. I believe there should be a comprehensive change, and we are discussing this within our coalition. I think the reform of the judiciary should be comprehensive, specifically including changes to the constitution concerning the Constitutional Tribunal. Yes, a reset, bringing it to the point where this chapter is rewritten from scratch… I am interested in talking with PiS about this change, because without a constitutional reset regarding the Tribunal, there is, of course, no question of rectifying the original sin, and the original sin was the destruction of the Tribunal – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on TOK FM.
10:04
Leszczyna:
I'm Against an Abortion Referendum, It Will Again Terribly Divide and Polarize Society
- It also depends a bit on Marshal Hołownia. If he brings our bill liberalizing the anti-abortion law to the agenda - and in my opinion, he should do so - I think it has a chance to pass in the Sejm, and then no referendum on this matter will be necessary - said Izabela Leszczyna in PR3's "Political Salon".
- I am against a referendum primarily because it will again terribly divide and polarize our society, and we don't need that - she added.
11:10
Hermeliński Before the Envelope Election Inquiry Committee: We Could Have Waited Until the President's Term Ended and Called New Elections
- There were other possibilities. I mentioned the state of natural disaster [...]. I think that the best [option], if the authorities resigned from the state of natural disaster, and they did, it was clearly visible that they were pushing with all their [might] for these postal elections, disregarding the health and lives of citizens, was to still [...] wait until August 6th, until the date when the president's term ends, consider it an emptying of the presidential seat and the Marshal of the Sejm calls new elections within 14 days of the date of the presidential seat being emptied, setting an election date not exceeding 60 days, meaning new elections could be held within 60 days - said Wojciech Hermeliński before the inquiry committee on postal elections.
- I think that either the state of natural disaster or this type of solution would have been a solution that could not be accused of violating the Constitution. The worst solution was chosen, rushing to hold the elections as soon as possible - he continued.
11:16
Biejat Announces Bid for Local Elections:
Warsaw Must Focus on Large-Scale Investments.
I can also officially, with immense pride, joy, and gratitude, announce today that I will be running for the office of Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw in these elections. Today, we want to present our progressive, left-wing vision for this city, because Warsaw, our capital, deserves a vision and courage. Courage to invest, to focus on large-scale public investments, on bold undertakings. For the residents of this city to live better in Warsaw, because quite simply, we can afford it – stated Magdalena Biejat at a press conference in Warsaw.
- Among these investments, we could list many challenges and goals that we will set for ourselves. Today, I want to mention a few of the most important ones. It will likely not surprise you that, as a representative of The Left, I will first and foremost talk about housing. Warsaw must finally launch a major program for social housing, for housing for everyone (...). Another major issue that Warsaw must finally truly commit to is education. (...) The third issue is safe and friendly public space; I would like streets in Warsaw to be truly safe, adapted to the needs of every person – she continued.
11:17
Biejat:
These are the first elections where we don't have to defend Warsaw from PiS. These are the first elections where we can talk about the Warsaw we want.
Ladies and gentlemen, these elections are the first elections where we don't have to defend Warsaw from PiS, these are the first elections where we don't have to talk about the Warsaw we are afraid of, but about the Warsaw we want. What vision do we have for it, what plans and ambitions do we have for it. How we want Warsaw to look in five and ten years – said Magdalena Biejat at a press conference in Warsaw.
11:44
Hermeliński:
There was no legal basis to print ballots. Polish Post's requests to local governments were beyond the law.
- There was of course no legal basis [to print ballots]. The Prime Minister's decision of April 16th constituted no legal basis whatsoever. It stripped away the authority that belonged to the National Electoral Commission (PKW) under Article 307. This was another violation of the Electoral Code - said Wojciech Hermeliński before the investigative committee regarding the envelope elections.
When asked about Polish Post's requests to local governments for access to voter list data, he replied: - Of course, that was beyond the bounds of the law. There were, I believe, several court rulings finding local officials guilty. Fortunately, a small group broke ranks; the rest behaved as they should have – in accordance with the law and by not providing data to unauthorized bodies.
12:39
Joński to Czarnek: You are an example of the decline in the prestige of a Member of Parliament
- It's not about the questions, it's about the insinuations, whether someone knows, doesn't know, you are dictating opinions here. He was an expert witness, the head of the National Electoral Commission. I appeal to you for a bit of respect, for authority in this country, because you have already destroyed all authorities and now you want to hold some kind of barbecue over an expert witness here. A bit of culture - stated Dariusz Joński during the session of the investigative committee on envelope elections.
- You are destroying the authority of the Sejm with your rude behavior and your complete lack of knowledge of the principles of operation - Czarnek replied.
- Mr. Czarnek, you are an example of the decline in the prestige of a Member of Parliament. I am very sorry to hear what you are doing and what you are saying. If you ask questions about facts, I will give you the floor. If you insult the expert witness, I will not give you the floor - stated Joński.
13:00
Bosak:
Presidential Palace Open to Discussing a Constitutional Reset
- We discussed the preparation of amendments to the Constitution that would end the chaos in the state, that would end the mutual negation of the composition of supreme constitutional bodies, such as the Constitutional Tribunal, the Supreme Court, and the National Council of the Judiciary. Let us recall that Konfederacja proposes a constitutional reset, meaning, through compromise, the adoption of amendments to the Constitution, which must first be agreed upon, with these amendments being voted on by a constitutional majority, which would establish new, non-partisan compositions of these most important bodies and which would allow this dispute to be ended and the constitutional recognition of the Constitutional Tribunal, the Supreme Court, and the National Council of the Judiciary by all political forces to be restored – said Krzysztof Bosak at a press conference after the meeting with the president.
- We assess the meeting, I think, as good, as constructive; the president showed openness to our proposals. We propose to establish a forum composed of lawyers, which would discuss these proposals that we are presenting and the proposals presented by other parties that have picked up on the idea of ending this dispute through amendments to the Constitution. The president announced that if we manage to bring about the establishment of such a working group, such a forum, he will also delegate his representative to such a forum – he continued.
- Undoubtedly, there is openness in the Presidential Palace to discuss a constitutional reset. We will strive for talks with other political parties on this topic – he continued.
13:04
Bosak:
We Are Not Setting Any Preconditions for Talks on a Constitutional Reset
- We are not setting any preconditions for anyone to join us, or for us to join anyone, in a discussion on this topic [constitutional reset]. [...] We believe that a discussion on this topic must take place, and we must all be open to it, otherwise, we as a state will also be manipulated from abroad. A situation where we, as citizens, do not have jointly respected institutions is an ideal situation for external forces to start dictating systemic issues to us - said Krzysztof Bosak at a press conference.
13:07
Bosak:
Konfederacja May Present a Candidate for Warsaw Mayor
- It is possible that Konfederacja will present its own candidate [for Warsaw mayor] - said Krzysztof Bosak at a press conference.
13:24
Pomaska:
We Are Filing Criminal Complaints Against Sasin and Orlen Board Members
- The findings from the Supreme Audit Office (NIK) inspection are alarming. These findings unequivocally indicate a lack of supervision on the part of Minister Sasin, who, as the Minister of State Treasury, was responsible for overseeing State Treasury companies and should have particularly ensured such oversight for fuel companies, which secure Poland's energy supply. The NIK report clearly shows that Minister Sasin simply failed to fulfill his duties - Agnieszka Pomaska said at a press conference in the Sejm.
- This report also reveals how the company functioned under the leadership of Daniel Obajtek, the CEO of Orlen. The report highlights incompetence, circumvention of procedures, and demonstrates that Orlen has effectively become a tool in the hands of politicians, a tool for implementing decisions made at Nowogrodzka Street - she continued.
- We are filing a report with the District Prosecutor's Office in Płock concerning the potential commission of a crime, primarily by individual members of the Orlen S.A. management board. This concerns Daniel Obajtek, but also all other board members, including Zofia Paryła, the CEO of the Lotos Group, and other individual members of the Lotos Group's management board - she stated.
- Due to the actions, or rather the inaction, of Minister Sasin, we are filing a report with the prosecutor's office in connection with his failure to exercise proper supervision over the merger process of Orlen and Lotos - she continued.
14:19
Witek:
Kaczyński Did Not Insist on Holding Correspondence Elections. There Was No Coercion
- No, he [Jarosław Kaczyński] did not insist on holding correspondence elections. There was no coercion; it was a collaborative effort to figure out how to make it effective, how to hold the presidential elections – stated Elżbieta Witek during the session of the investigative committee for envelope elections.
17:13
Witek:
If We Had All Approached It Responsibly, We Could Have Conducted Postal Elections
- I think that if the ratings of the presidential candidate [Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska] had been higher then, not lower, we wouldn't have this commission today, because you [the opposition] would have done everything to ensure these elections took place on May 10th. But it was completely different - stated Elżbieta Witek during the session of the investigative commission on postal elections.
- Besides, I heard statements from politicians of the then-opposition saying they would do everything to 'scuttle' these elections. This was also very common knowledge, which was also discussed here at the commission. We tried to approach this very responsibly - she continued.
- Truly, it was not our whim to conduct postal elections, but rather a search for a solution that would enable these elections in the safest way possible. And honestly, if we had all approached it responsibly then – that is my conviction, I have the right to have such a conviction […] – we could have conducted these postal elections on May 10th - she assessed.
17:49

Zgorzelski:
For Eight Years of PiS Rule, Decisions Were Made in an Extra-Constitutional Political Command Center on Nowogrodzka Street
- Eight years of the Law and Justice government was something that Madam Marshal Witek herself rightly described in one of her earlier tweets: living in an alternative reality. Because we know very well that it wasn't the resident of the palace on Krakowskie Przedmieście, nor the resident of the office in Aleje Ujazdowskie, nor finally Madam Marshal Witek herself, as the second person in the state residing on Wiejska Street, who made the decisions. The decisions were made entirely elsewhere, in the extra-constitutional political command center on Nowogrodzka Street – said Piotr Zgorzelski in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach".
19:59
Zgorzelski on Postal Ballots: No One Who Offended Will Escape Responsibility
- Nobody here who offended will escape responsibility. I see that the members of this [parliamentary] committee are preparing very well to ask very difficult questions to their witnesses or summoned persons – said Piotr Zgorzelski on TVN24 in the context of postal ballots.
20:05
Zgorzelski:
Tusk Showed Citizens at the Cabinet Council that Poland Was a Country Under Surveillance
- The Prime Minister very cleverly and very substantively showed the citizens in this part [of the Cabinet Council] which was open [...] that Poland has recently been a country under surveillance, that the institution of acquittal for those who used surveillance has become, one might say, a license for impunity. This led to these gentlemen, when they were acquitted in 2015, believing they were now beyond punishment and could do anything - said Piotr Zgorzelski on TVN24.
20:11
Zgorzelski:
Wojciechowski's Refusal to Resign Shows Kaczyński is Losing Real Power
- Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz read out a tweet from the parliamentary tribune where Wojciechowski practically exposed himself as the author of the Green Deal, and then Jarosław Kaczyński went to the corridors and said that Commissioner Wojciechowski had gone too far and his unfortunate statements were costly, and he should resign. If Wojciechowski does not want to resign, it shows that Kaczyński is losing real power - said Piotr Zgorzelski on TVN24.

Nowacka on Proposed Changes to the Core Curriculum: I Will Not Sign a Document Where the Volhynia Massacre Is Not Named by Its Proper Name - Genocide
- The essence of pre-consultations is that experts propose something, and everyone can evaluate the proposals and express their substantive opinion. Which I encourage. I, however, will not sign a document where the Volhynia massacre is not named by its proper name - genocide - wrote Barbara Nowacka on social media.

Paprocka:
If Operational Instruments Were Used Lawfully and Under Court Supervision, the State Has a Duty to Do So for Citizen Safety
- The state, the government, bears the responsibility for ensuring the safety of its citizens, and it is the government that decides what tools, along with special services, are necessary for this purpose. The President states clearly: if operational instruments were used lawfully and under court supervision, then the state not only has the right, but rather a duty, for the good and safety of its citizens, and the necessity of counteracting crime - stated Małgorzata Paprocka in an interview with Joanna Dunikowska-Paź on TVP Info.
20:40
Biejat:
PiS Politicians Are Enamored with Trump. They Support Him Above All Else; We Witnessed an Incompetent Attempt to Replicate the Capitol Attack
- Clearly, PiS politicians are enamored with Trump. In my opinion, this has started to backfire on them, not only in the context of international politics, but also, for instance, in the recent events that took place on the grounds of the Sejm - said Magdalena Biejat in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
- We clearly witnessed an incompetent attempt to repeat the Capitol attack in the case of Messrs. Wąsik and Kamiński. It ended in a farce, as it was bound to. Supporting Donald Trump above all else is equally compromising today - she stated.
- Truly, regardless of one's sympathies and with whom one agrees […], the responsibility of politicians - and I want to believe, also those on the right - is primarily to stand on the side of Polish national interest - she added.
20:42
Błaszczak:
Kaczyński's Isolation is Fake News. Ardanowski Cites What the Deep State Says
- No, no, that's fake news [that Jarosław Kaczyński is isolated], but it's a kind of fake news that has been appearing for as long as I've been in politics, and I've been in politics for many years, and this theory has always been presented – stated Mariusz Błaszczak in the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
- No, because I know MP Ardanowski, it's like I'm reading mainstream newspapers, that's exactly what you, Mr. Editor, said (...) [Ardanowski] cites what this deep state says, so why he does it – I have no idea, and I think it's a waste of time to speculate on this topic – he continued.
20:43
Błaszczak:
Current Ministry of National Defence leadership isn't working to fulfill military contracts signed under our government
- The current leadership of the Ministry of National Defence isn't working to fulfill these contracts. Because nothing is happening, nothing is happening. While the budget draft does allocate a high budget, the highest in history that we designed, back when I was heading the Ministry of National Defence, the Debt Management Strategy does not include the Armed Forces Support Fund, and I remind you – that's 40 billion this year, essential for fulfilling at least the Korean contract, and it is in limbo, meaning it has not been signed – said Mariusz Błaszczak on Polsat News.
- Let [Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz] get to work. He may have doubts, one must work, but if nothing is happening, well, it won't do itself – he added.
20:43
Błaszczak:
We Must Arm Ourselves
- It is very good that the Union and President Trump during his presidency did indeed force several EU countries to spend more on defense. Poland, under the rule of PiS, spent a lot on defense, these are indeed large sums, because we must arm ourselves – stated Mariusz Błaszczak on Polsat News.
20:49
Paprocka:
Civic Coalition Chose 5 Constitutional Tribunal Judges Proactively, Igniting the Constitutional Crisis
– Precisely in the context of the Constitutional Tribunal, this is a rather shaky narrative, considering that in 2015, Civic Coalition chose 5 judges proactively, and that's where this constitutional crisis began. I remind you, Madam Editor, that of the three individuals questioned by today's ruling camp and by parts of the legal community, 2 judges were selected in recent years, but in situations where their predecessors passed away. So, the question is whether there is indeed a legal basis to question judges who were selected absolutely legally, in accordance with procedures – stated Małgorzata Paprocka on TVP Info.
20:55
Biejat:
What Warsaw Lacks is a Development Vision Beyond the Next 3-4 Years. Large-Scale Housing Investments
- There are things that are absolutely going well in Warsaw; we can praise public transport and the purchase of new rolling stock. However, I believe that what Warsaw lacks today is a vision for Warsaw's development beyond the next 3-4 years. It's a vision for 5-10 years. Large-scale investments - said Magdalena Biejat on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
- We can afford to truly invest in this city and think of it as a city that not only develops in one direction or another but sets trends not only in Poland but also in Europe - she continued.
- What we are, of course, talking about and what is absolutely crucial for us on the Left is the issue of housing. Large-scale housing investments. Warsaw today is a city that is increasingly less livable precisely because of how expensive housing is. […] We need to start investing in social housing, rental housing, for the middle class, not just municipal housing - she added.
