- No [introducing the euro would not help the Polish economy], although it is, of course, a more complex issue. Poland's economy has benefited numerous times from having its own currency, which supports economic growth during times of economic crises - stated Andrzej Domański in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

- I have been obligated by the Prime Minister to present a plan for introducing the PLN 60,000 [tax-free] allowance during the term, and we are working on such a plan at the Ministry of Finance, so for this, a little while longer, but not too long, will need to be waited. We are working to make it as soon as possible, but of course, we must remember about the stability of public finances - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- We are working on raising the turnover limit for taxpayers which obliges them to register for VAT. This limit currently stands at 200,000 PLN, and we want it to be 240,000 PLN. Registration for VAT will be required above 240,000 PLN, and this is a limit that has not been raised, I believe, since 2017 – stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- At this moment, the discussion about the euro is a purely placeholder debate. We are not having discussions in the government about introducing the euro in Poland; there is no separate unit in the Ministry of Finance dealing with this. What we are doing is restoring the strength of the Polish economy, so that we can meet, among other things, the so-called convergence criteria - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- In my opinion, inflation at the end of this year will likely be around 4-5%. We will see a slight rebound in the second half of the year. It may rise slightly, we are constantly talking about deviations close to the NBP's target. I don't think there is a risk of such rampant price increases as we experienced in previous years repeating themselves - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- I would like all 4 bills to go to committee, because I believe it is a test of the political class's maturity for today, and then we will see what comes of it. I accept the opinion and stance of Civic Platform (PO) regarding this variant - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in a conversation with Jacek Prusinowski on the program "Sedno sprawy" (The Heart of the Matter) on Radio Plus.

- The world has changed, Polish politics has changed, as has the attitude towards women's rights, and the Decalogue has not changed, which is why we need to find a political position and perspective on new challenges within PO, KO in this new situation. We will see, yesterday a debate, today a vote, perhaps an agreement can be found that will not once again reduce the issue of women's rights and abortion to such an internal, domestic war – stated Grzegorz Schetyna on the program “Sedno sprawy” on Radio Plus.

- We will be sharing experiences, practical ones, concerning the effective protection of the border against illegal migration. Both countries have serious reasons to address the problem of illegal immigration. These problems differ due to geography and proximity, but we share a similar viewpoint with the Prime Minister and the Greek state. This boils down to one sentence: Europe and its Member States must effectively protect their territories and must effectively control their borders so that migration policy is not engulfed by chaos, inertia, and a lack of any control – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing with the Prime Minister of Greece.

- Conversations are ongoing. At the table where we, a group of seven leaders, sat, there was essentially agreement that a serious effort should be made to use frozen Russian assets, not just the interest, but the principal capital available to Western states, Russian capital amounting to 250-300 billion euros globally. More and more EU citizens, taxpayers, and this was dispelled at the table during this discussion - stated Donald Tusk at a press conference.

- We are getting closer to decisions that should, to a greater extent, if not entirely, enable the use of frozen Russian funds in world banks, and this would be just and very effective - he added.

The Sejm has adopted the draft amendment to the Act on the National Council of the Judiciary – the government of Donald Tusk's proposal will now proceed to further work in the Senate. 244 MPs voted 'for' the draft, while 199 voted against. In short, the amendment reverses the changes introduced by PiS. The 15 judges who are members of the KRS will no longer be appointed by the Sejm; instead, the judicial part of the Council will be elected by all judges through direct, secret ballot elections.

Two bills from Lewica, along with proposals from Trzecia Droga and Civic Coalition (KO) concerning abortion law, have been sent for further deliberation in a parliamentary committee. The coalition voted relatively in agreement on this matter – although the PSL club was divided on the Lewica and KO proposals.

A split also occurred within the PiS club during the vote on the Trzecia Droga proposal – 4 parliamentarians voted against its rejection, and 21 abstained.

By a decision of the Sejm, an Extraordinary Committee will be established to consider the bills concerning the right to terminate a pregnancy.

- Very briefly, I am addressing this young MP, Gomoła, I believe that is his name. Well, the fact that you are young does not, however, excuse you for spouting this kind of nonsense about ordered verdicts and similar tales of very base, disgusting, Goebbelsian propaganda - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in the Sejm.

- Mr. MP, Goebbelsian propaganda ended at the end of December when we cut off the broadcast of that cesspool in TVP, and that was the end of Goebbelsian propaganda - replied Adam Gomoła.

- I accidentally voted against further work on the bill concerning the abortion compromise. In line with my previous declarations, I am a proponent of further work on this project – Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter.

Omyłkowo zagłosowałem za odrzuceniem dalszych prac nad projektem dotyczącym kompozysu aborcyjnego.
Zgodnie z moimi wcześniejszymi deklaracjami jestem zwolennikiem dalszych prac nad tym projektem.

- Ladies and gentlemen, it was a good decision. I am referring to the decision to have this debate on a matter so important to so many Polish women on April 11th, after the local government elections. We all remember the atmosphere in the Sejm, I remember it well, a month ago, and this is further proof that when you have a temperature of 39.9 degrees Celsius, as it was in this chamber then, you do not make important decisions. You wait until you have a regular 37 degrees, and that 37 was visible yesterday. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, we had the calmest, most substantive, and most dignified debate on abortion that this Sejm has seen in the last 30 years – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

- The only path to change the existing state of affairs is a referendum, there is no other way and we will repeat this. We will be observing now, members of our party, our caucus will participate in the work of this commission, they will be MPs who have already spoken on this matter. I hope that the commission will be able to prepare its report within a short time, measured in months, small months – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

- I had a task to fulfill and I fulfilled it. Moreover, I did so with a sense of absolute righteousness, that is, to stop this evil, this obscenity that was pouring out, this hatred that was dividing Poles, and in the conviction that the path chosen, contrary to these shouts about coups d'état and illegal actions, was legal - stated Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz on TVP Info.

- This is not a matter of surprise. PiS remains astonished that it lost power at all and is furious that it lost the fundamental tool of their politics in Poland, and that fundamental tool was the spread of hatred through the media, which were formerly public. That was PiS's strength, and of course, the target state will last for a very long time - stated Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz on TVP Info.
