- I count on Marshal Hołownia keeping his word, that last word, that on April 11th, meaning after the local elections, but that it won't be April 12th or 13th anymore, nor will it be the European Parliament elections, but then - stated Anna-Maria Żukowska on RMF FM.

- I think there's no need to look through the lens of any party's animosity at all when it comes to foreign affairs, when it comes to matters of state security, and I'm saying this in a firm voice, very much so. There is animosity, President Duda is doing so many things I consider bad and has done so many things that for this period of foreign policy, about 80% of it needs to be forgotten – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in the program "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- I assess this visit [by Tusk and Duda with Biden] very well, because when I read some comments that say nothing new has happened. Well, a lot of new things have happened. In politics, when there is a state of threat to the country, in Poland right now, in Europe, we have a constant state of threat because we have Russia on our borders, Putin on our borders, so repeating important things is important – he added.

- No, in my opinion, there is no such conviction [about a NATO-Russia war among the political class], and it would be good not to create such a conviction [in society], because there are no grounds for doing so. However, a wise political class in every country undoubtedly prepares for such an eventuality, meaning it arms itself, collects money, strengthens the power of its army, and enhances cooperation among all forces associated with NATO – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.

- I think I can say something like this on behalf of politicians. Politicians do not know much more [about a NATO-Russia war] in this matter. Politicians do, however, follow these matters very closely, analyze them, and actually have an obligation to prepare for various scenarios – he added.

- Anna Żukowska said what 90% of women think, she used a word I wouldn't use, but to eliminate such words and such situations, the situations themselves must be eliminated. Szymon Hołownia, once again senselessly, and by the way, lying to himself, has postponed these matters. There is never a good time for women's issues – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.

- Point by point, Civic Coalition's 100 programmatic proposals are facing extremely unfavorable conditions due to many legislatively cemented issues and an unsupportive president. When the president responds in a way that, in my opinion, is emotional rather than rational, stating that he will send all laws to the Constitutional Tribunal one after another, this is not a serious approach to governing the Republic of Poland - stated Tomasz Grodzki in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on the program "Sedno sprawy" (The Core of the Matter) on Radio Plus.

- This is not a foregone conclusion. If the president now says he will not cooperate on the appointment of ambassadors, who are Poland's representatives to the world, then this is not a serious approach - he added.

- You can't say the Prime Minister announced 100 days and then we did nothing. We are forming ministries, we are in contact with colleagues who are currently in power from various political options - stated Tomasz Grodzki in the program "Sedno sprawy" on Radio Plus.

- I never took [a bribe], and this whole affair was fabricated the moment I became marshal, precisely from that day. I had a clear conscience and believed that an independent prosecution service, upon reading all of this, would act as an independent prosecution service should. I did not influence anything, I did not pressure anyone, I did not ask anyone for anything. I was convinced that this was a politically fabricated matter - stated Tomasz Grodzki on the program "Sedno sprawy" (The Heart of the Matter) on Radio Plus.

- We need shelters, we need education, we need information. The government alone is not enough; local government involvement is needed here. We will be preparing programs to support local governments in this regard, but the involvement of the local community is also absolutely essential. This is Poland's state interest; there is nothing more important than security, at every level, and the engagement of each of us in the process of building security. Even the largest equipment purchases, which we are very pleased about, such as the US government's approval for the sale of long, medium, and short-range missiles - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference with Rafał Trzaskowski.

- If the entire society is not prepared, if the local community is not involved, even the best equipment will not help. These three pillars must be met: national social community, strength in alliances, and a good army. If all these elements work together, it is a guarantee of the highest level of security, and this is our goal - he added.

- For months, and perhaps even the last few years, we have been the subject of a smear campaign, politically and media-driven, inspired by the current government. Prime Minister Tusk is personally involved in this campaign. A campaign whose goal is defamation. In reality, this is a direct attack on the services responsible for the security of the Polish state, on the officers who deal with combating crime, but of course, this campaign has its political objectives, meaning it is an attack on PiS, on the government of the previous term, which managed the affairs of our country, including security matters. The aim of this campaign was to create a completely false perception in the public opinion that we are dealing with profound pathology in Poland, with mass, illegal surveillance of citizens. In reality, an average Pole might have felt at some point that special services cameras and microphones were installed in every apartment, every home, that their private life, including intimate life, was being illegally monitored. Such suggestions and insinuations have been made – stated Mariusz Kamiński at the press conference.

- We have prepared a presentation. We want to show what the truth is about the matter that is shocking public opinion. Recently, lists of so-called Pegasus victims have appeared in the mass media and public space, also inspired by the current government, as Prime Minister Tusk put it – he continued.

- The CBA possessed similar software between 2012 and 2015. It was Tusk's Pegasus. At that time, the head of the CBA was Paweł Wojtunik, the coordinator of special services was Jacek Cichocki, and the prime minister of the government was none other than Tusk. This software was purchased from the Italian company HACKING TEAM, and the contract was active until July 2015 - stated Maciej Wąsik at a press conference.

- In 2021, when the [Pegasus] system was used most frequently, approximately 200 operational controls were conducted using the Israeli NSO system. Half of these were controls carried out by the ABW. These were mainly counterintelligence proceedings. In the remaining years of the system's operation, this number did not exceed 100 controls - stated Maciej Wąsik at a press conference.

- There is no such technical possibility, this system did not have such functionality; it was absolutely not possible to upload or modify any content using this system. There are individuals who present themselves in the public space as victims of Polish services, who heavily rely on the argument that if I didn't say something, the services must have planted it. We have bad news for these people. This line of defense, if the cases go to court, will not hold, because this system did not have such technical functionality - stated Mariusz Kamiński at a press conference.

- I have bad news for Prime Minister Tusk. The system we talked about, which operated during Donald Tusk's time, Tusk's Pegasus, allowed for the implementation of files onto end devices. Not ours, but Tusk's - stated Maciej Wąsik at a press conference.

- Ladies and gentlemen, the upcoming elections are about Poland and Poland's security, because territorial self-government, from the municipality through the district, to the regional assembly, covers such large areas of security that could not be implemented without government involvement, and at the same time, the government could not cope without self-government – stated Krzysztof Gawkowski at a press conference of Lewica in Białystok.

- A secure Ukraine, free from Russian influence, is a crucial matter for Poland's security. We are currently in a period where the future of the global world and a united Europe is being decided. It is being decided because we have an aggressor at our doorstep, at the gates of the Republic. An aggressor who is unpredictable and who makes unpredictable decisions that could cost Poland a war. We should avoid this war at all costs, which is why we need to strengthen alliances and discussions with President Biden; these discussions were precisely about strengthening this alliance – he continued.

Deklaracja Prezydenta w sprawie pigułki dzień po pozbawia złudzeń - zawetuje każdą liberalizację praw, która wyjdzie z tego Sejmu. Kto chce zmiany prawa aborcyjnego w tym roku, ten popiera referendum. Jego wyniku Prezydent nie może wetować. Takie mamy prawo.

- This is the first I'm hearing of anything like a presidential ambassador. I spoke with the President about these matters, and for now, I'm not going beyond what was agreed upon in that conversation. I hope the President will be persuaded. Poland cannot have two foreign policies. The only one it has is conducted by the Council of Ministers - stated Radosław Sikorski on RMF FM.

- There is no direct threat to Poland [from Russia], and we must live in hope that there are limits to this aggression, to this lack of realism in Moscow. I remind you, they thought they would capture Kyiv in 3 days, and for 2 years they haven't been able to, they've conquered less than 20% of Ukraine's territory - stated Radosław Sikorski on RMF FM.

- No Polish ambassador can be appointed or recalled without the president's signature. The decision made by the President of the Republic of Poland is of fundamental importance here – stated President Andrzej Duda at a press briefing in the USA.
