- Regarding the wall [on the border] – I believe the wall needs strengthening, but there is one condition that we are setting and stating everywhere, including to the government. People cannot be dying there, for God's sake. It cannot be that somewhere in a swamp we'll be fishing people out at this crossing – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in "Jeden na jeden" on TVN24.

- [The partnership law will pass] when the PSL withdraws its remarks and reservations. Everything in due time, because at the moment this law is at the government level, Minister Kotula is leading it - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden" program.

- On Friday, we will discuss this. We definitely need to take a step forward in solving the problem, however, radical solutions cannot be introduced overnight - stated Paulina Hennig-Kloska in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the "Gość Radia Zet" program.

- On Friday, we will be talking; I am going to the Tatra National Park. We have invited representatives from the Viva! foundation and representatives of local communities, including the carriage drivers who work on the route to Morskie Oko, and we will want to discuss possible solutions - she added.

- Not necessarily, but within the framework of the pact, we will demand money for Poland - stated Paulina Hennig-Kloska in the "Gość Radia Zet" program.

- I have the impression that at least 1/3 were not farmers, so it is an organized political action, not a farmers' protest. Moreover, it is difficult to find a representation of farmers today, when there are over 180 organizations that engage in discussions with the Prime Minister, with the Minister of Agriculture, and at the same time we have several dozen so-called nationwide committees in the country. I meet with one of them in central Podlasie quite regularly, we are preparing certain solutions, but even within a group of forty-something in my region, developing a common stance and common postulates is not easy at all – stated Marek Sawicki in the program "24 Pytania Rozmowa Poranka" on PR24.

- What is happening in the Sejm, in my assessment, is definitely [a political initiative]. I will say this, I have invited guests to the Sejm many times, and none of the groups, none of the individuals were brought in with television cameras, and this group was indeed brought in with the assistance of television cameras, so that for a specific time, they would have good propaganda material – he continued.

- These are surprising statements because the Prime Minister knows perfectly well that the migration pact does not apply retroactively. It will only come into effect in mid-2026 and will cover the state of migration, the migratory pressure, precisely during the period from mid-2026 onwards. The previous government did not utilize what was our national wealth and our sacrifice made towards Ukraine, attacked by Russia; we transferred over 6 million Ukrainians through Poland – said Marek Sawicki on PR24.

- I do not believe in the Union's effectiveness in this regard, because I believe that first and foremost, a large humanitarian fund needs to be created and food delivered where it is needed. Secondly, we need to seriously tackle, through Interpol and all possible services, the illegal trafficking of people, the illegal transport of these people – he added.

- As the Left, we support the idea of establishing a special commission within government structures (...) We believe that a good commission investigating Russian and Belarusian influences in Poland will not be bad. We need such a commission that will thoroughly, but also quickly, clarify these types of influences. We want professionals to be on it, people who enjoy cross-party and cross-political trust (...) As the Left, we will not allow ourselves to be fitted into a model where the state becomes a hostage of one political party or another. We went through that for the last eight years, and as the Left, we do not want to return to it. We will seek compromise regarding the composition of this commission, and we will cooperate with the Prime Minister on its establishment. We will not trip it up like others have tried to do, saying they are against it. We want a good commission that clarifies these kinds of cases – stated Robert Biedroń at a press conference in Bydgoszcz.

- We also want to bring about the urgent introduction of a mechanism where judges and prosecutors will be verified when they have access to classified, top-secret, and confidential documents. This is extremely important in the context of Judge Szmydt, who had such access - stated Robert Biedroń at a press conference in Bydgoszcz.

- Marshal Hołownia announced today that next week's Sejm session will be shorter, stating that under these circumstances, the Sejm cannot work. This is not surprising, as the Council of Ministers is sending very few bills to the Sejm, and the bills that have been frozen are not being processed - stated Piotr Müller at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- We want to talk about the bill to raise the tax-free amount from PLN 30,000 to PLN 60,000. This bill, which was submitted by PiS, would simultaneously fulfill a key promise of PO. We want to help PO fulfill their own promises, which is why such a bill was submitted. The first reading took place at last week's session. Today, we appeal to Marshal Hołownia to address the bill on the tax-free amount at the next session and to adopt this bill at the following one - he continued.

- If the main protagonist [before the commission for examining Russian influence in Poland], the suspect, is the Prime Minister, then yes [the establishment of the commission will be a good step] - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in the Sejm.

- As of today, after two days of collecting signatures [for the citizen initiative aimed at halting energy price increases], we have over 10,000, in just a few locations, an amazing response. I am convinced that we will quickly gather 100,000 signatures. I think much more, to make it clear to the government that the situation is very serious - stated Waldemar Buda in the Sejm.

- Currently, thorough investigations into these events are ongoing. The best specialists from the State Fire Service (PSP) and the police are working on these matters. It is too early to speak of the causes, as investigations are underway. Actions are being carried out by firefighters and police officers, and expert work is also necessary to determine the causes of these events. These matters need to be thoroughly analyzed; we are dealing with, at the very least, the impression of a series of these events. It is essential to clarify whether these incidents are connected in any way – stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the Sejm.

- PiS Chairman Jarosław Kaczyński, Chairman of the PiS parliamentary club Mariusz Błaszczak, and representatives of Law and Justice met with farmers protesting in the Sejm - the party informed on social media.
