At 7:00 AM, at the so-called 'patelnia' (frying pan) near the entrance to the Centrum metro station, a press conference will be held by Rafał Trzaskowski, a candidate for Mayor of Warsaw. This event will be combined with an initiative by Civic Platform (KO) candidates for the Warsaw City Council and Warsaw districts, encouraging Warsaw residents to vote in the local elections.
At 9:15 AM, a press conference will take place with MEP and PiS Vice-Chair Beata Szydło, PiS candidate for Mayor of Warsaw Tobiasz Bocheński, and PiS spokesperson Rafał Bochenek.
At 2:00 PM, at the 1st Transport Aviation Base in Warsaw, President Andrzej Duda will meet with soldiers and military personnel on the occasion of the upcoming Easter holidays.

- Well no, this motion [for a Tribunal of State for Adam Glapiński] has been discussed for a long time. Last week, Polish bond yields even fell, meaning prices rose, then it reversed slightly. Generally, we are at very similar levels. The zloty is stable, so it's clearly visible that this issue isn't making a significant impression on the markets, as expected anyway – stated Andrzej Domański in a conversation with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

- We spoke about this during the election campaign. I can confidently repeat it today. At this moment, the discussion about joining the eurozone is a completely substitute discussion. Poland does not meet the convergence criteria, it does not meet the criteria that would allow us to enter the eurozone. Support among Poles for entering the eurozone is also not high, so truly, frightening people with Poland's entry into the eurozone is being used only for current needs - stated Andrzej Domański in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.
- It is clearly visible here that President Kaczyński is trying to use this argument for a current, cynical political game. I believe there are arguments both for and against. Certainly, the argument concerning economic flexibility, the fact that at a time of global crisis, the złoty loses value, which greatly benefits Polish exports, is a valid argument. On the other hand, we have more political arguments related to the fact that the eurozone is consolidating, and the EU is also consolidating more strongly around the member states of the eurozone - he continued.

Domański:
Currently, there's no room for the tax-free allowance to increase to PLN 60,000 next year; we have rapidly growing defense spending
- I was tasked by the Prime Minister to present certain options and scenarios for fulfilling this demand, and this demand will be met during this term. In my opinion, there is currently no room for the tax-free allowance to increase to PLN 60,000 next year. We will be calculating precisely [whether it's possible in 2026] - stated Andrzej Domański in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.
- We are in an almost wartime situation, with rapidly growing defense spending. I would like to remind you that in 2024, we will spend over 4% of our GDP on broadly understood defense - he continued.

We will consult today at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. I will also speak with the NATO Secretary General - stated Radosław Sikorski in a conversation with journalists.

Sikorski:
Instead of Sowing Terror in Ukraine, Russia Should Deal With Terror Within Its Own Borders
- We will of course express our condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims, but we suggest at the same time that instead of sowing terror in Ukraine, Russia should deal with terror within its own borders – stated Radosław Sikorski in a conversation with journalists.

NBP Used Intermediaries - PFR and BGK - To Shield Glapiński from Charges of Legally Financing the Deficit
- In my opinion, the NBP president was aware of this. This is precisely why the NBP brought in intermediaries, namely PFR and BGK, to avoid Glapiński being charged with legally financing the deficit - stated Ryszard Petru on the program "Poranek Radia TOK FM".

- I imagine a situation where a bill is put to a vote in the Sejm and gets a majority. That's the situation I envision, and I will be urging the Left not to let it come to a point where they vote against it, and only Confederation supports it. I wouldn't want such a situation, but it could happen - stated Ryszard Petru on the program "Morning Radio TOK FM".

Jaki:
We're Not Criticizing PiS, Just a Specific Faction
- We're not criticizing PiS, but rather we are criticizing a specific faction. These are indeed very important politicians, but I believe that on this matter, we simply need to move forward. I believe that people, especially our voters, but not only them, need to know that okay, we know we made a mistake, rather than insisting on it, so that we can move forward – that's what this is about. I can reciprocate to Michał Dworczyk and say this way: I believe he is an extremely competent politician and important for our camp; he was a great minister, and we should end it here – said Patryk Jaki on RMF FM.
09:21
Jaki:
We are a camp that can talk internally, and that's a good thing
- We are a camp that can talk internally, and that's a good thing. I recall that these are the things that brought Tusk to power, meaning that his camp is broad and capable of discussion. Secondly, one must remember the most important thing, that this is not about me, nor Morawiecki, nor President Duda; it's about something more important, namely, it's about Poland. It's about whether decisions related to signing the so-called Fit for 55, or linking the disbursement of funds to Poland to the rule of law criterion, when it was said that Poland could not have such a system as other countries because it has a worse culture, whether that was good or bad, I believe it was bad – stated Patryk Jaki on RMF FM.
09:22
Bosak:
Motion to bring Glapiński before the Tribunal of State is a joke; only one accusation has a semblance of sense, the rest is laughable
09:28
Jaki:
We Should Be in the Union and Fight for It
- I believe we should be in the Union and fight for it. There is a chance that much will change in these EP elections. We can see that these green factions are losing support, so let's remember that Poland is a very important part of Europe, both historically and factually – stated Patryk Jaki on RMF FM.

PiS Club to Prepare Bill for 0% VAT on Food, to be Submitted After Holidays
- PiS is a party that has always primarily focused on supporting those who need help the most, but also thinks about development, the Polish economy, and the dignified lives of Polish families. That is why we have decided that the PiS club will prepare a bill that will reinstate the 0% VAT rate, and this bill will be submitted by the club after the holidays. Similarly, regarding energy prices, the liberalization of energy prices, we will react in the same way. If the Tusk government does not withdraw its energy price increase, we will prepare a bill that will also be submitted in order to protect Polish families and Polish entrepreneurs. PiS will certainly always stand on your side here and ensure that the 'Tusk poverty' we remember from his previous term in office does not return to Poland. So, ladies and gentlemen, today we can say this: this team primarily wants to focus on its own goals, and when there's no money and they don't know how to govern, they reach into your pockets. I hope that you will also take this into account in the upcoming local government elections – stated Beata Szydło at a PiS press conference in Warsaw.

Szydło:
Proposal for State Tribunal Motion Against Glapiński is a Political Farce
- The proposal for a motion to the State Tribunal for Mr. President Adam Glapiński is a political farce and another installment of this theatre that the coalition created by Tusk has been subjecting us to since they took office in Poland. There are no specifics, no fulfillment of the promises they committed to, because after all, no one forced Donald Tusk to declare that he would implement 100 concrete actions within 100 days. It turns out after 100 days that in reality, for Poles, there is only one concrete action, which is price increases, and this concrete action Tusk has truly implemented with full responsibility, and now he wants to lead to Poles becoming poorer and Poland developing more slowly – said Beata Szydło at a press conference in Warsaw.

We Are Not Arming Ourselves Because We Seek War, But To Defend Peace; Strength is Necessary
- We are not arming ourselves because we seek war, but to defend peace; strength is necessary. Freedom and peace require strength. We need our strength within alliances, our homeland, our army. In these three dimensions, these vectors of action, we carry out our tasks. Those who are responsible for the army, those who exercise civilian oversight over the army, but in reality, we call on all citizens for this conscious, social service, which is always readiness to defend the homeland - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at the 1st Transport Aviation Base in Warsaw.

Czarzasty:
The President Will Change Sooner or Later. I Hope It Will Be One Who Signs Abortion Law for Women
- Minister Leszczyna is right to say that whether there is a law or not, we will introduce it by decree. This shows you the point of fighting for a law. In vitro, during the Civic Platform's [PO] time, was also introduced by decree, then there was no in vitro because a decree can be revoked at any moment. With a law, it's worse, it's about stability. If you ask me whether the President will bend to the arguments of the Left's parliamentarians tomorrow, I don't know. [...] The President will also change, sooner or later. I hope it will be one who will sign abortion law for women and the right to one's own body and one's own rights – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in the program 'Fakty po faktach' on TVN24.
21:02
- Do I have grievances with Szymon Hołownia? Absolutely not. Will we cooperate within one coalition? We will cooperate. Will we have differing approaches on various matters? We will. Will we fight for these matters? Tomorrow at 13:30, the girls from our party are going and fighting. Whether they win or lose, they are fighting. Because everyone has their own program and everyone has their own ideals. For me, women's rights and a secular state are truly important matters – said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.
21:03
Czarzasty:
I am concerned about potential dialogue or joint votes between TD and Konfederacja
- On behalf of The Left, I can say for sure, never with Konfederacja. Others speak in a similar vein on behalf of Civic Platform. I am concerned about potential dialogue or joint votes with some of my friends, i.e., the Polish People's Party and Poland 2050, i.e., TD – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24.
