At 8:00 AM, a press briefing will be held in front of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister with the participation of PiS MPs Marcin Horała and Waldemar Buda.

At 10:00 AM, the investigative committee on envelope elections will hear testimony from the former CEO of Poczta Polska, Przemysław Sypniewski, followed by the former Vice-CEO, Grzegorz Kurdziel.

At 10:00 AM, a press conference of the Civic Coalition parliamentary club will take place in the Sejm, with the participation of MPs Izabela Leszczyna, Monika Wielichowska, Adrian Witczak, and Grażyna Kulig, among others.

At 11:00 AM, a government session will commence. The agenda primarily includes a draft law concerning the National Council of the Judiciary. Ministers will also address a draft regulation on the establishment of the Ministry of Industry and hear information from the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development regarding the current agricultural situation.

At 11:30 AM, the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, will sign an agreement for the construction of a tram line to Dworzec Zachodni (Western Station), which will connect Ochota with Wola. A tunnel under the station has already been built. The event will take place in the Transport Operations Hall at the Wola Depot.

At 3:00 PM, a session of the Sejm's Committee on Physical Culture, Sport, and Tourism will be held, focusing on information from the Ministry of Sport and Tourism regarding the ministry's plans and current operations, including a presentation by the ministry's leadership. As reported by Przegląd Sportowy, the Minister of Sport is expected to announce, among other things, the introduction of gender parity in the boards of Polish sports federations. It is heard that the ministry intends to propose that 30 percent of seats on the board of each sports federation in our country be occupied by women, and this will be mandatory. If this information is confirmed, it will lead to a true revolution in many sports federations.

Minister Nitras is also expected, according to Przegląd Sportowy, to announce a program aimed at opening up school infrastructure – sports equipment is to be made available for youth to use. The ministry intends to allocate significant funds, among other things, to enable children and youth to use school sports facilities freely and free of charge outside of lesson hours and on days off from educational activities. No one will be turned away from closed doors.

After 4:00 PM, the Sejm's Health Committee will review the motions submitted during the second reading of the draft amendment to the Pharmaceutical Law – in practice, this is a project concerning the over-the-counter "morning-after" pill.

- We are conducting very broad consultations regarding housing. We want to present a program that consists of three elements, affecting both supply and demand, in two parts: social construction and support for borrowers. There is a proposal for a 0 percent interest rate to cover large families with at least 3 children, as well as less fortunate individuals who wish to participate in the costs of social construction, for example, in social housing associations - stated Krzysztof Hetman on the program "Gość Radia Zet".

- This is the "Coalition of October 15th". Various proposals have been submitted. My circle proposed 1.5 percent, Prime Minister Tusk's circle proposed 0 percent, and The Left is in favor of building rental apartments. We are trying to combine all these demands - he added.

- I'm counting on the second half of this year. I won't tell you if it will be exactly July 1st, because I've been in politics too long, and you're too experienced an editor to not know I won't answer that question. I'm not afraid of such a declaration; it's a whole process. We need to finish consultations, which are already nearing completion, present the project for inter-ministerial agreements, and then parliamentary work - stated Krzysztof Hetman in the program "Gość Radia Zet".

- I likely possess the most knowledge within the investigative committee regarding the purchase, as I examined both public and classified documents in the secret archives of the Supreme Audit Office (NIK) two years ago during the work of the Senate committee which I chaired. Regarding those under surveillance, I have absolutely no knowledge of any list and I have no knowledge of any names beyond those few dozen we already know. [Those surveilled by Pegasus] are not just politicians – stated Marcin Bosacki in the program "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Regarding PiS politicians, I believe, and I can probably say this too, that it wasn't just a few people but more. So, if I am to set any framework, it's more than 10 – he added.

- What I am saying, I am saying with full responsibility. I believe it was likely over 100, not less than 100 people surveilled, and I'm talking about unjustified surveillance, not those which might have occurred, as Jarosław Kaczyński says, against suspects of terrorism or frequent crime – said Marcin Bosacki on TVN24.

- If what PiS politicians are saying is true, especially Kamiński, Wąsik, Kaczyński, defending themselves against accusations of illegality, then they are saying they had the consent of the prosecutor's office and the court. And the prosecutor's office and the court agree to the collection of evidence, specifically in potentially criminal cases. To my knowledge, firstly, there was no certification of this system by ABW. Therefore, this system was used illegally in Poland. Secondly, the courts, if they agreed, did not know what they were agreeing to; they believed they were agreeing to ordinary operational control – stated Marcin Bosacki on TVN24.

- I shy away from terms like Pegasus being used solely [for political purposes]. In my opinion, it was mainly used to gather information about uncertain individuals within their own circles and political opponents, or other types of adversaries, such as lawyers, journalists, and businessmen – he continued.

- If Mr. Zelensky treats the matter in this way, then let him first ensure that all products coming from Ukraine to the European market meet European requirements. And they do not meet them, because we know perfectly well that the demands placed on Polish farmers are not placed on Ukrainian farmers. And the second thing: let Mr. Zelensky get rid of corruption and oligarchs in the agroholding sector. I am convinced that in addition to large international Western capital, there is also a significant percentage of hidden Russian capital in these agroholdings - he continued.

– From the very beginning, we have been working very hard, very consistently, and very firmly to restore the rule of law in Poland and to restore constitutional order, and Minister Bodnar has prepared an extremely important action plan, and it is Minister Bodnar who will be presenting this plan today. So, Mr. Minister, this is your moment – stated Adam Szłapka at a press briefing in Brussels.

– Indeed, at today’s General Affairs Council meeting, I will be presenting an action plan in the context of restoring the rule of law. This is an action plan that Poles have been waiting for, an action plan that citizens supported during the October 15th elections, but also one that they have demanded for many years, fighting in the streets, protesting, demanding the independence of the judiciary and the prosecution service. The action plan consists of a set of laws that must be adopted by our parliament. They concern the status of the National Council of the Judiciary, the Constitutional Tribunal, the Supreme Court, and also the status of common courts, the separation of the Ministry of Justice from the Office of the Prosecutor General. I intend to convince that if we do all of this, Poland should not be subject to Article 7 of the Treaty, that there is no need to maintain the procedure against Poland if we are all committed in Poland to restoring the rule of law – said Adam Bodnar.

- Director Izdebski [from the Ministry of State Assets] came to me at the Polish Post building. To the headquarters of Polish Post, he informed me that he had come on behalf of Deputy Prime Minister Sasin, who did not have the opportunity and time to meet with me, and informed me that a decision had been made to conduct the elections by correspondence, and that this decision concerned the entirety of the elections, not just those under the law praised by the Sejm, but that the elections would concern all voters. I asked again for a meeting with Prime Minister Sasin, and at this meeting, I expressed my opinion that, in my conviction, it is not possible to conduct elections in this manner, not even at this time, but in this manner, and Director Izdebski said that such a meeting was not possible, that the decision had been made, and that if I had doubts, I could resign – stated Przemysław Sypniewski, CEO of Polish Post from 2016-2020, during a session of the investigative committee on envelope elections.

- This session of the General Affairs Council proceeded, I believe, in a very good atmosphere. I had the opportunity to present the main points concerning the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), the Supreme Court (SN), the Constitutional Tribunal (TK), common courts, as well as the separation of the offices of Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General. I also noted that it is very important for us to continuously update our positions on cases pending before the Court of Justice of the European Union (TSUE) and the European Court of Human Rights (ETPCz). This change in our stance is also an expression of our commitment to European values, as well as to our Constitution, meaning we will simply not oppose criticism that arises concerning certain elements of the reforms carried out in Poland in recent years. Further work lies ahead of us; today, the Council of Ministers is adopting the draft law on the KRS, and this will be followed by further actions, especially concerning common courts, the Supreme Court, and the Constitutional Tribunal – stated Adam Bodnar at a press briefing in Brussels.

- I expect, to put it very graphically, that in about 2-3 Sejm sessions, we will have a massive legislative influx, related to the fact that the government will truly get going only after an initial review, a report on what is happening, and will be able to start producing legislation. We expect further bills, in quite a large number, to be sent to the Sejm starting next week - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

– The identification of participants in these events leaves no doubt in my assessment. The Marshal's Guard has identified seven MPs from PiS, who, as evidenced by video material which we have watched, and I have seen it, clearly grabbed, pushed, and in some cases, choked the Marshal's guards – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

– Such behaviour should never have happened. And I hope it will not happen in the Sejm, but the Sejm must also draw very clear and concrete conclusions from such situations. In relation to these 7 MPs, under Article 22b of the Sejm's Rules of Procedure, I have stated and will repeat this today at the Sejm Presidium, because that is the formal requirement [that they flagrantly violated peace or order]. In my assessment, such a violation has occurred, and the Sejm Presidium will decide on the financial penalties that will be imposed on these 7 MPs. I will personally recommend to the Presidium the maximum possible penalty provided for by the next article of the Sejm's Rules of Procedure. This is the deprivation of half of the MP's salary or the entire MP's allowance for a period of 3 months – he continued.

– I will recommend to the Presidium and vote for the deprivation of all 7 participants in these incidents of their MP's allowance for a period of 3 months. This concerns MPs Siarka, Dziedziczak, Macierewicz, Bogucki, Gosiewska, Polaczek, and Sójka – added the Marshal of the Sejm.

- Marshal Czarzasty, whom I highly respect and also genuinely like, is misrepresenting the situation; if I were to put it more strongly, without mincing words, he is lying. There is no blocking of laws submitted by The Left club by anyone, and if they are being blocked by anyone, it is by The Left club itself – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- Today, I must say this with great regret: Włodek, you are mistaken, you are wrong. Just last week, we discussed this at the Prime Minister's meeting, and at every other Sejm presidium meeting, the matter was raised, and Marshal Czarzasty did not raise any objections or doubts regarding the procedure for laws submitted by The Left club – he added.

- In my assessment, there is no hope for improving the situation of women in Poland unless this is brought about by a referendum or by President Duda's epiphany through having him sign this liberalizing bill, which would bring about the 'infamous' and universally unwanted compromise. Do we genuinely want to save some people today? Do we want to boost our poll numbers in an election campaign before the next elections and remind people that we stand for something or for something else. Do we want to genuinely save women or our political support? - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- I also asked Minister Berek that whenever we process resolutions of this kind, laws, when we deal with this kind of matter, tidying up the mess that PiS left behind, we should always ensure that we also give people hope, that by looking back and fixing what was broken, we simultaneously reinforce the hope with which we began, by showing positive solutions with which we want to move forward. I hope that this resolution and these laws will be read at the next session. I am also waiting, as Minister Berek pointed out, for laws to come from the Sejm that will specifically show which direction we want to go, because for me, as someone programming the work of the Sejm, it seems extremely important that we maintain balance - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- Everything indicates that this resolution will be addressed at the next session, still in March - he continued.

- No, this is a preliminary list; we have a very serious task ahead of us. Clarifying the so-called Pegasus affair, an affair that until very recently was described by those in power at the time as an affair of a winged horse. Well, no, Pegasus is a system that is called cybernetic weaponry in many countries, which is why we have a serious task ahead of us, an initial list of witnesses, but it will naturally be supplemented in subsequent stages of the investigative committee - stated Magdalena Sroka on TVP Info.

- The PiS politicians themselves are very concerned about this matter, they are asking me if there is a possibility to check if their phones were subjected to the Pegasus system. They are interested in this, yes, they are asking such questions - stated Magdalena Sroka on TVP Info.
