- I believe the Left is behaving irresponsibly, attacking a coalition partner in an unprecedented way for the purposes of the election campaign. I believe this because their dispute, their attack, is intensifying as the election campaign approaches, whereas we did not enter the government to quarrel. We are doing our work, we are working, and I am urging and encouraging the resolution of disputes and compromises within the coalition, not outside it - stated Paulina Hennig-Kloska on TVP INFO.

- The fact that Bodnar is the greatest executioner of justice in the history of the Third Republic and does not apply the provisions of the law is clear, so why should I comment on the words of someone who came to the ministry precisely to disregard the law. The executioner of justice of the Third Republic - stated Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Guest of Radio Zet'.

- Naturally, of course. In such a way that today there are no regulations that could lead to him being brought before the Tribunal of State (…) If Tusk and his gang wanted to bring President Glapiński before the Tribunal of State today, they would first have to pass some regulations that could govern this, and there would be a legal basis. The motion itself changes nothing – stated Przemysław Czarnek on the program “Gość Radia Zet”.

Minister Tomczyk informed the National Security Bureau (BBN) that he would make such a statement in the Sejm, that he had understandings, that he had declassified a certain part of the information, which allowed him to present new information to the public, and it's good that this happened. The head of the Ministry of National Defence knew about the airspace violation, he held talks and made some arrangements for this purpose, which Minister Tomczyk mentioned, and at the same time, at no stage, and this was emphasized by both Minister Błaszczak and Minister Tomczyk, was it confirmed until the remains were found that we were dealing with a missile. The question arises: did a system flaw or human error lead to a situation where, based on data that was quite easy to interpret, meaning few objects move at such a speed? - stated Jacek Siewiera in a conversation with Marcin Fijołek in Polsat News' "Graffiti".

Even if the head of the Ministry of National Defence was not informed about the missile, because there were no grounds to state – yes, we see a CH101 or some other type of cruise missile, interception or visual identification is necessary, and there was no identification – all prerequisites were still met to inform, first and foremost, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. We are convinced that this was one of those situations where it was necessary to inform the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces about a direct threat. I don't want to decide whether he concealed it, whether it was intentional or unintentional, whether he didn't know, or perhaps he considered that these were indeed issues that the Supreme Audit Office (NIK), which, as far as I know, has prepared a report of quite good content, or other state bodies must clarify - added the head of the BBN.

- It is not excluded. Nothing is excluded before the elections, and nothing can be excluded after the elections. We will see how the majority in the provincial assembly shapes up. We have a huge chance, as the election campaign shows, of excellent work by our candidates, to have a majority. A coalition with both Konfederacja and PSL is possible. There's no problem – stated Przemysław Czarnek on the program “Gość Radia Zet”.

- We, as TD, Polska2050, believe that it should also be extended to employees, and this system [health contribution] would be better if it were simplified, meaning more lump-sum and less complicated. Then it will not require interpretation and various kinds of searching for solutions that are not obvious – stated Ryszard Petru in RMF FM.

– In my opinion, for example, we could postpone the entry into force of all reliefs for the beauty industry, or postpone the "grandma's benefit" (babciowe) to lower the contribution. Because this is what employees and entrepreneurs are waiting for the most. We know the discussion about the 100 pledges, etc., what the coalition has managed to implement or not. Entrepreneurs and employees are most eagerly awaiting a contribution reduction, a return to levels similar to those before the "Polish Deal." We should focus on that. It's impossible to implement 100 pledges in 100 days, which I mentioned during the election campaign, but we can focus on the most important things – said Ryszard Petru on RMF FM.

– It is not possible to implement all these pledges because public finances we took over are in a very difficult state, which I spoke about both during the election campaign and after it – the great hole left by Morawiecki, a huge deficit. We have the second-largest budget deficit in Europe, we have a large and growing debt, and there is still no economic growth. Of course, it will appear, among other things, because of the money from the KPO (National Reconstruction Plan), but we must ensure that this economic growth comes not only from external sources, i.e., from external money, but also from internal ones. That is why trade liberalization and a reduction in health contributions are so important – he continued.

- At this stage, [raising the tax-free allowance] is unrealistic. This is because it costs too much, and therefore, in my opinion, the focus should be on contributions. Health contributions are significantly more important at this stage for employees and entrepreneurs. If there were an opportunity to lower and raise the tax-free allowance within a 4-year perspective, it would be fantastic, but with such a high deficit and such high debt, in my conviction, it is impossible in the near future – stated Ryszard Petru on RMF FM.

- It cannot be that just because we say we are spending on defense, we can't do anything else. We expect deep reform of public finances from ourselves and our coalition, and an halt to all actions related to nepotism, party cronyism, and the liquidation of unnecessary institutions. We also need to slim down as a state to be effective, not so pathetic, mediocre, and nepotistic – Ryszard Petru said on RMF FM.

- Our most important commitment, stemming from a strong need to rebuild the prestige of the teaching profession, and the promised increases, salaries raised by 30% and 33% for junior teachers – this is a great qualitative change that teachers are feeling. This money was simply due to them for years of hard work, effort, action for young people, and for the cohesion and strength of schools and Polish education – stated Barbara Nowacka at a press conference.

- In the coming days, a regulation concerning the abolition of mandatory homework will be signed, and it will likely come into force on April 16th, meaning homework for primary schools will be optional. This does not mean a teacher cannot assign it, but it will not be graded – stated Barbara Nowacka at a press conference.

Złożyłem zawiadomienie do prokuratury o możliwości popełnienia przestępstwa przez Jacka Kurskiego. Były prezes TVP zniszczył publiczną instytucję i doprowadził do degradacji jej misji, jaką jest rzetelna, obiektywna i dostępna dla każdej Polki i Polaka informacja o…

- We are a permanent fixture as the Left within this government and will do everything to ensure this government functions normally, reasonably, for Poland, for Polish women and men. A lot is being said about the 100 commitments for 100 days, but we will not refer to the 100 days because that is Civic Platform's program, which we value and respect, but Civic Platform has its authorities and they will inform about the implementation of the 100 commitments. For us, however, what connects us with the government are two important things: the coalition agreement we have, and we also have various common elements that are very important, as well as our program. Today's press conference is to tell you about the implementation of this element that the Left has brought to the government - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at the Left's press conference.

• The strong participation of the Left in this government provides a basis for us to say that we are fulfilling promises, keeping our word, and that Poland, in a coalition government of four equal partners, has its strong, audible, and important voice. The 50 initiatives we presented within the government for the first 100 days have their contribution in many areas of the state – social policies, state responsibility for the rule of law, funds from the European Union, foreign policy, infrastructure, technology, digitalization, science, and school education. Everywhere we pointed out specific directions, today we can boast about them because we have the opportunity to tell a new story for Poles, one in which, as presented during the election campaign, a given word is later kept. This is a new standard, and I wanted to tell you that this is good cooperation – stated Krzysztof Gawkowski at a press conference.

- Everything we agreed upon in the coalition agreement will be realized because we all signed up to it. In this coalition agreement, there is a very important matter, a change in the rules for collecting health contributions. Changing the rules in such a way that it will simply be profitable to run a business in Poland. Those who create jobs, who create their own place, sometimes a sole proprietorship, those who have family businesses employing up to 9 people, micro-enterprises, the smallest neighborhood shops, workshops, factories, various types of services and businesses. It will be profitable in Poland under our government, and people will create economic activity – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

- Every citizen, every Pole, has a duty to defend the homeland. This is natural; it's in the DNA of every Pole. But the state also has a duty to defend its inhabitants, its population. It must surround the civilian population with protection, create procedures, and solutions that will function in situations of threat so that every Pole can feel safe. Of course, given what we observe beyond our eastern border, we are talking about an extreme situation, a 'W-hour' scenario, an armed conflict. But please remember that population protection also encompasses extraordinary situations arising from threats that can occur every day. These are situations concerning natural disasters, contamination, which can simply be encountered in daily life. The safety of Poles is an absolute priority for the government, the current government, and in this regard, for the Ministry of National Defence and the Ministry of the Interior and Administration - stated Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference.

- Our predecessors introduced gigantic chaos. The Prime Minister [Kosiniak-Kamysz] spoke about the most emblematic example of this irresponsibility, although stronger words come to mind, regarding the attempts to liquidate the Government Security Centre (RCB). Our predecessors completely destroyed any procedures connecting different state institutions, different state services that are meant to operate for the protection of the population. We will restore these connections, mutual relations, procedures, and very specific assignment of duties in this act - added the head of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration.

- We managed to achieve three major goals. The release of funds from the KPO, the initiation of restoring normal rules of the game in the judiciary, and three - rebuilding relations with the EU. These are the foundations. As for the 100 specific points, even during the campaign I said that it is impossible to implement them in such a short period of time, because it is technically impossible, and for some of them there is no money at the moment, because we inherited a budget with a very high deficit - stated Ryszard Petru on TVP Info.

- I will vote for the Left's [abortion] bill to be sent to committee, and I will likely also vote for this bill from the Left. I can declare that I do not expect any declarations in return from them - stated Ryszard Petru on TVP Info.

- No, here it seems to me that we have a significant deficit. I never expected that there was a chance to implement a substantial part of the program in 100 days, and I said so during the campaign. The coalition declared so much in 100 days, it was unrealistic, if only due to budget constraints and high deficit, debt. But I think it's time to accelerate - stated Ryszard Petru on TVP Info.

- The faster we must send Ukraine the weapons it desperately needs. The government is acting very energetically on this matter; we have contributed, supported the Czech ammunition initiative, and persuaded both Germany and France to approve the EU defense budget of 5 billion euros. The EU has already allocated twice as much to aid Ukraine as the United States and an additional 50 billion euros to sustain the functioning of the Ukrainian state. Poland is on its 45th military aid package for Ukraine. We are truly doing our utmost; if everyone else did the same, Ukraine would be in a better situation – said Radosław Sikorski on TVN24.

- This awareness [of war with Russia] is growing, it is reinforced by the fact that we have been warning about such things for many years, and people didn't believe us, but now they are listening more carefully. Notice that defense budgets are higher the closer a country is to the Russian border, and this is no coincidence. Of course, once Russia is armed to the teeth, after reorienting its economy to a war footing, it may feel tempted to use these newly acquired capabilities further – stated Radosław Sikorski on TVN24.

- The heads of the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, and the coordinator of special services are keeping me informed on an ongoing basis about the circumstances of the attack in Moscow and its potential consequences for the situation in the region and the country's security - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on Twitter.

Szefowie MON, MSWiA i koordynator służb specjalnych informują mnie na bieżąco o okolicznościach zamachu w Moskwie i możliwych konsekwencjach dla sytuacji w regionie i bezpieczeństwa kraju.
