Trzaskowski:
I Can Only Warn Against Underestimating PiS
- I can only warn against underestimating PiS, because there are quite a few polls and various simulations, and they rather show that PiS is at the level of twenty-something percent. It seems to me that the PiS electorate in Warsaw is indeed strong and entrenched. But we'll see, I don't evaluate polls, I can only ask for a high turnout. It is generally important for democracy - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.
08:11
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
We Decided to Support Trzaskowski Because He is a Good President. All Our Efforts Are Directed Towards the City Council
08:17
08:20
- I don't know where these revelations are coming from, especially since it's definitely too early to talk about presidential elections at all, and as I know Radosław Sikorski, he's certainly not thinking about it at the moment because he holds a very responsible position, and moreover, he's performing brilliantly in it. These are classic journalistic "ducks" - stated Rafał Trzaskowski on Radio Zet.
08:24
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
Trzaskowski is PO's Natural Presidential Candidate. We Won't Support Him; This is an Election Where a Party Must Participate and Have a Candidate
08:34
08:38
Trzaskowski:
Let's give Germany such competition they can't recover, but in a way that doesn't eliminate Okęcie
- Let's give them [Germany] competition with Okęcie and an expanded Modlin. Let's give them such competition that they can't recover at all. Modlin is on state-owned land, no one needs to be evicted, it's closer to Warsaw, it's better connected. Let's give Germany such competition that they can't recover, but in a way that also doesn't eliminate Okęcie - stated Rafał Trzaskowski on Radio Zet.

Trzaskowski:
Bocheński Offered Nothing Interesting in This Campaign
09:08
Petru:
There's a strong expectation that PiS will suffer a crushing defeat in the local elections
- There is a strong expectation that PiS will suffer a crushing defeat in the local elections. Now the question is, how deep will that defeat be. It's good that they've adopted such a strategy, it's important to win in these regional assemblies. I am not a spokesperson for PiS, quite the opposite, I am interested in them achieving a poor result - stated Ryszard Petru in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.
09:09
Bocheński:
It's not that Trzaskowski did nothing in Warsaw, but he did far too little
09:12
Bocheński:
It's one thing to be Tusk's subordinate, another to seek financial resources from the government for the good of Warsaw and its residents
09:13
Petru:
From the Warsaw Campaign, I'll Remember Trzaskowski's Vistula Footbridge
- From the Warsaw campaign, I'll remember Rafał Trzaskowski's Vistula footbridge. It's criticized by some, adored by others. A similar situation is in Poznań, where President Jaśkowiak will likely also have to face a Third Way candidate in the second round. This is very interesting because today it turns out that it's not PiS candidates entering the second round, but rather, within a broadly understood coalition, there's a dispute about what the vision for a given city should be – stated Ryszard Petru in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.

Petru:
We Cannot Subsidize Electricity Prices Indefinitely
- We cannot subsidize electricity prices indefinitely; these prices have been artificially lowered. We have prices on global markets, and prices simply must reflect market prices. If we have a reduction in electricity prices, it is paid for in the form of higher taxes and health contributions - stated Ryszard Petru in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.
09:36
Biejat:
We've Been Prepared for the Second Round Since the Campaign's Start. We Understand What Warsaw Residents Want, and They No Longer Want Tales of a PO vs. PiS War

Increasing campaign spending limits just before election silence is a violation of the principle. This is not the way.
- Politics is like sports: you don't change the rules in the middle of the game. Increasing campaign spending limits just before election silence is a violation of this principle. This is not the way - wrote Szymon Hołownia on Twitter.
W polityce jest jak w sporcie: nie zmienia się zasad w czasie gry. Zwiększenie limitów wydatków na kampanię chwilę przed ciszą wyborczą jest naruszeniem tej zasady. Nie tędy droga.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:
I Came to Ask All Lublin Residents to Vote for Third Way Candidates, Because We Want a Strong Self-Governing Poland
- I have come to ask all residents of Lublin and the Lublin region to vote for Third Way candidates, to vote for PSL candidates. I implore you for these votes, we need them for several reasons. Firstly, because we want a strong self-governing Poland managed from our local homelands. We want to return competences to local government officials, to restore those taken by the previous government, to give a chance for development, to transfer funds from the European Social Fund, from the EU budget, from the Common Agricultural Policy, from the KPO, to the regions, to the districts, to the communes. I do not want them to be managed centrally - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference in Lublin.
13:13
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
Glapiński Should Be Held Accountable for His Mistakes, and He Will Be
- Regarding President Glapiński, the erroneous decisions that led to inflation in Poland being much higher than in other European countries and unfortunately lasting longer than in other European countries. Only the change of government, economic acceleration, the unlocking of KPO funds, the improvement of economic relations in Europe between Poland and other states, and the willingness to invest in Poland are changing this situation. Inflation is below 2%, and the worst tax imposed by the PiS government has been removed by us. President Glapiński should be held accountable for his mistakes, and he will be - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference in Lublin.

14:57
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
We Will Rectify Wrongs Against Humiliated Municipalities
- We will rectify the wrongs, and I would also like to say this here in Lubartów, where this account of wrongs must be settled. Municipalities that were humiliated must have their wrongs rectified, and we are introducing a transparent system of fund allocation, just as we did when managing the Lublin Voivodeship government – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Lubartów.

Glapiński:
Inflation in Poland in February and March Aligned with NBP's Inflation Target
- After many, many months of struggling with high inflation, it wasn't hyperinflation, it was high inflation, double-digit. I would remind you that this inflation was a consequence of the pandemic and the war, Russian aggression. In February and March, inflation in Poland shaped up at a level consistent with the NBP's inflation target, which is 2.5% - stated Adam Glapiński at a press conference.
15:40
Glapiński:
Our Inflation Wasn't Particularly High. It Was Typical for Central and Eastern European Countries, Under Control All Along
- Our inflation wasn't particularly high. It was typical for Central and Eastern European countries, it was under control all along, as much as it could be. The NBP, also contrary to what was raised endlessly, hammered into our ears, was one of the first banks in Europe to begin the fight against inflation - stated Adam Glapiński at a press conference.
15:55
Glapiński:
Government Faces Difficult Situation. Despite Excellent Overall Economic Conditions, Budget Situation is Very Tough
15:55
Glapiński:
We Expect Inflation to Rise in the Coming Quarters
- Today we are not celebrating, ladies and gentlemen. When you entered the Bank, you didn't see any flowery entrances, garlands, joy, employees dancing, or champagne drinking, because this drop in inflation, this inflation target, is temporary. We look responsibly into the future, we think many quarters and years ahead. In the medium term, mainly two years, we strive for lasting stabilization of inflation at the level consistent with the inflation target, not just achieving it momentarily. And today, unfortunately, we expect that inflation may rise again in the coming quarters, meaning it will certainly rise, although the scale of this increase is unfortunately burdened by enormous uncertainty – stated Adam Glapiński at the NBP press conference.
16:00
Glapiński:
No Talk of Interest Rate Cuts
- There is no talk of lowering interest rates. I say this with regret, because after such a long period when the NBP's role has been to freeze the economy in the face of high inflation, one would wish for the moment to arrive when we could lower rates, but we will not do it hastily, we will not give in to pressure – stated Adam Glapiński at a press conference.

Trzaskowski:
These elections are absolutely fundamental because we took a step on October 15th
- These elections are absolutely fundamental and this is very important, because we took a step on October 15th. Of course, that step was the most important because we had to change the government. That step showed that Poles can take democracy into their own hands, that when necessary, they mobilize 100% - stated Rafał Trzaskowski during the Civic Platform (KO) local government convention.
17:51
Trzaskowski:
This Signal is Necessary to Show That Poles and Varsovians Are Not Fooled by People Who Pretend
- This signal is necessary to show that Poles and Varsovians are not fooled by people who pretend. That credibility, hard work, and trustworthiness actually matter in politics. That there is no agreement in Poland for total hypocrisy. Look today, PiS is dressing up in entirely new clothes, pretending to be in favor, I really dislike it, because it's a bit like phrasing from a game show, okay, they chose that, they are in favor. They were looking for a way to repurpose that word. My competitor pretends that he has always defended women's rights, that he loves green Warsaw, that he is a friend of local government. He had his chance when he was supposed to be an independent official, the voivode. He could have been, but then he was a political functionary who blocked good changes in Warsaw – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at the Civic Coalition's local government convention.
18:02
Trzaskowski:
The Greater the Support for Candidates in the Civic Coalition and Independents We Back, the Stronger Our Momentum in These Elections
- The better the result in Warsaw, Krakow, but also in rural Poland, in small towns, the greater the support for candidates within the coalition, for Civic Coalition candidates, and for the independents we back, the stronger our momentum will be in these elections – stated Rafał Trzaskowski during the Civic Coalition's local government convention.
18:11
Trzaskowski:
We are consulting on the Civil Defence Act together with Kierwiński
- When a crisis arises, such as with the pandemic or migration, local government is also on the front lines in the end, and that is why we cooperate. Regarding the Civil Defence Act, which Minister Kierwiński is preparing, we are consulting on it together. We are working together on solutions that are intended to help couples experiencing infertility. Warsaw has the first institute of this kind, and I hope it will be developed – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a meeting with residents in Warsaw.
18:17
Tusk:
If They Regain Power in Municipalities or Voivodeships on Sunday, It Means We Squandered Our Great Joint Effort from Last Autumn
- Our dream, once a beautiful vision and now an increasingly better reality, could end overnight. If someone convinces others that we can go home, or if someone believes that freedom, human rights, women's rights, democracy, a free economy, and self-governance are all permanent, will defend themselves, and that it's enough to go to the polls once in a while, and then things will just run themselves, we will lose it all again. If they regain power in municipalities or voivodeships on Sunday, it means we squandered our great joint effort from last autumn. Poland cannot afford to lose it all just because the weather might be warm and pleasant, or someone might think, 'Eh, they'll manage, Rafał is leading in the polls, why should I worry?' If we think like that, we will wake up on Monday morning and realize that due to some unnecessary, sometimes seemingly recurring carelessness or political-civic laziness in our history, it will suddenly slip through our fingers again - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the KO local government convention.
18:17
Kaczyński:
Lies are the Negation of Democracy. The Success of the Coalition Formed Against Us is Based on Lies
18:17
Tusk:
We're Neck and Neck
- We're neck and neck. Don't be fooled by either optimistic or pessimistic polls. Everything is at stake. Everything. And that's why I am truly ready, without exaggeration, to beg everyone in Poland who defeated evil on October 15th, to find those half an hour on Sunday as well - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the Civic Platform (KO) local government convention.
18:19
Tusk:
They called themselves United Right. ZP means organized crime
- Today, no one in Poland has the right to pretend that Polish politics has for a long time been about a clear division between good and evil. Between honesty and ordinary political, or even simply criminal, offenders. They called themselves United Right, ZP. That's organized crime, ZP means organized crime - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the Civic Coalition (KO) local government convention.
18:20
Tusk:
Don't Risk Poland, Don't Subject Your City's Future to Unnecessary Gambling
- People, this isn't about going to war, it's not about two years of quarries. It's about leaving your homes, taking 20-30 minutes, and voting for those you trust (...) Don't risk Poland, don't subject the future of your city, your commune, to unnecessary gambling - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the Civic Platform (KO) local government convention.
18:26
Tusk:
NIK referred the case to the prosecutor's office regarding Morawiecki and other state officials
- The Supreme Audit Office has referred the case to the prosecutor's office, finding that there is a presumption of a committed crime. This means that perhaps the former prime minister, the minister of finance, and other state officials will turn out to be criminals, and you know what, their case is going to the prosecutor's office. And this is not a case of some petty thief who robbed one or two people. This is a case of people who were responsible for the Polish state and, as it turns out, were robbing entire cities and entire voivodeships of their due money and resources – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a meeting with residents in Warsaw.
18:28
Kaczyński:
Parliamentary Inquiry Committees are a Grim Farce, a Hunt for Non-Existent Prey
18:29
- I can't stand looking at their faces, still brazen. They're trying to escape, you know, they're fumbling their steps, constantly sticking little hearts [on their campaign materials]. Rafał [Trzaskowski] has already spoken about this great plague spreading across Poland on the eve of the local elections. I cannot imagine us meeting on Sunday and saying, 'they've beaten us again, they've deceived us' – that's bad enough for us, but for the whole of Poland. Therefore, I ask you, don't be afraid of clear and honest words, let's not allow them to rob Poland in any municipality – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a Civic Coalition (KO) local government convention.

The Next Step is Necessary to Solidify Our Confidence That the PiS Populists Will Not Return to Power
- These elections are crucially important. Donald Tusk also spoke about this, because this next step is necessary to solidify our confidence that democracy will be strong, that local government will be strong, that the PiS populists will not return to power. If they won elections in several regions, in cities, they would continue their 'grab for cash' that they are known for - stated Rafał Trzaskowski on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' on Polsat News.
19:43
Trzaskowski:
I Don't Understand These Malicious Remarks from the Left, Given We Co-Create the Government Together
- I don't understand these kinds of malicious remarks from the Left, given that we co-create the government together and today we should be focused on ensuring that proven administrators win. It is natural that we can compete with each other, but I would rather focus on PiS, because PiS is the strongest in Warsaw, we all know that. Let the polls lull no one to sleep – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
