- Because there [in the EP] there are also many issues to address, such as the money for the expansion of this barrier, such as a different approach to policy. I think there are very important issues to be resolved there. I have spoken many times with my partners from other countries regarding the Ministry of Interior and Administration. Their view on migration issues at our eastern border is completely detached from reality. This is a big job that needs to be done – stated Marcin Kierwiński in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

- The situation is quite sensitive. For years, we fought and supported judges at demonstrations in front of the courts. It's hard to imagine now that we would do something against these people who must guarantee the return of the separation of powers (...) we will see what initiative the Minister of Justice proposes after consultations and talks. Please remember that President Duda is in the last year of his term, and he has announced a veto - stated Grzegorz Schetyna on the program "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

- We definitely had a few difficult conversations [with Donald Tusk], whether this is a good scenario [for the EP election], but we ultimately agreed that it's a good scenario for KO - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

- In Warsaw, members choose their leader. I do not intend to resign; I plan to continue managing Warsaw's Platform affairs. Regarding the [PO] Secretary-General, that is always the decision of the party chairman. We have not yet discussed this matter with the chairman – stated Marcin Kierwiński in the "Piasecki Interview" on TVN24.

- PiS's entire policy is, in large part, a policy that serves Russia. The fact that they, out of foolishness, met with Putin's puppets in Europe, does not absolve, so to speak, the fact that Poland simultaneously is in alliances, cooperating with NATO and the EU. Please look at the policy as a whole – stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- For now, all signs in heaven and on earth indicate that Rafał Trzaskowski is a natural candidate. He ran, achieving an excellent result in the last campaign, he is a natural candidate. After the presidential elections, after the European Parliament elections - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in the program "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

- This is not Sovereign Poland, but a greedy gang. If all of this is confirmed, and I assume the materials are strong, as the prosecutor's office has been working on this for 2-3 months, information is already emerging today that there will be motions to lift immunity, which means the matter is very serious. If this information is confirmed, then every politician of Sovereign Poland should actually resign their mandate and leave Polish politics - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

- I still don't know enough about this event, what its format will be, because it's five days before the elections, and I understand it's a PO, KO event. We have this pre-election week packed to the brim with trips, meetings, and communication, because this is truly the time when the fate of the European elections will be decided. So if you're asking me today, I'd say probably not. If I knew the details of the invitation, a broad invitation, because none has been sent to me, but I still believe that each of us has their job to do – stated Szymon Hołownia in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- I absolutely see no basis for banning PiS. I think these are campaign statements that go too far and do not serve well the purpose of what is important today, which is for people in Poland to go to the elections, to find themselves in democracy. Because if they don't find themselves in it, someone else will exploit them, outside the democratic mechanism. It is in our interest to calm the situation and to develop – said Szymon Hołownia on Polsat News.

- I understand that tidying up is necessary, but if we continue to chase people around with a vacuum cleaner, which is essential at home, and say that this is our idea for the next 4 years, people will kick us out of that home. We have to show them how to furnish this home, we have to show that we have an idea for this shared home and the details of this idea; we, in the campaign, but also I think more broadly as a coalition, should start presenting it as soon as possible. People are longing today not just for peace, but for development; they need a story. Please look at what happened to CPK; we sometimes call it CPK patriotism. It has become a certain symbol of an aspirational vision, like Gdynia once was, like other projects – stated Szymon Hołownia on Polsat News.

- I believe this motion [concerning Adam Glapiński's trial before the State Tribunal] should not be blocked, but I also need to familiarize myself with what lawyers from both sides are saying, and then we will decide at the Sejm Presidium – said Szymon Hołownia in an interview with Polsat News.

- It will be Marshal Hołownia’s decision. It will be his decision. If you are asking for my assessment, I believe he should run in the presidential election, and secondly, that he would be a very good president, just as he is a very good Marshal of the Sejm. But he will make that decision himself. For now, we are not hearing other names of individuals who have openly declared their desire to run as Marshal Hołownia has. I would gladly hear those names, both from our democratic side and from PiS – stated Michał Kobosko in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- I don’t think he has made a final decision, but he will ultimately make it, it must be his decision – he added.

- I want to assure you that such matters will be accounted for, and Minister Macierewicz and Minister Dworczyk, for appointing Colonel Gaj, who before 2015 praised Putin and made anti-Ukrainian statements, which he did not hide, to your government – stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the Sejm.

- The truth is that in 2019, you imported 10 million tons of coal to Poland from Russia. The imports were carried out by companies you supervised. The same was true in previous and subsequent years. These are facts, you were doing business with the Russians, non-stop - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the Sejm.

- Who, from this podium, said: "We want cooperation with Russia as it is"? Donald Tusk. Who shook hands with Putin on the pier? Donald Tusk. Who divided the visits to Smolensk and politically led to the catastrophe? Donald Tusk. Who was Merkel's lapdog and built Putin up politically together with Merkel? You are the ones who are pro-Russian - stated Przemysław Czarnek.

- I would like to inform you that this motion was just submitted to the Marshal of the Sejm, Mr. Hołownia. The motion, including evidentiary material, is 285 pages long, and it has been signed by 185 parliamentarians of the October 15th coalition. The motion concerns 3 segments, namely the blocking of funds from the subscription fees for public radio and public television, which amounts to approximately 300 million zlotys. If this situation continues, the entire scenario where public radio stations stop paying their obligations this summer is not excluded. The next accusation concerns the delaying, essentially blocking, of re-licensing for private broadcasters. The third accusation, this group of accusations, essentially concerns the non-execution of statistical research regarding television station viewership in Poland – stated Piotr Adamowicz at a press conference.

- The National Broadcasting Council has become exactly the same as the Tribunal of Ms. Master Przyłębska. A completely destroyed institution, which formally pretends to still be an institution operating in accordance with the law, but is simply an appendage of PiS, led by a gentleman who called himself a PiS Taliban and behaves as such, as the head of a state's constitutional body – stated Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz at a press conference.

- The problem is that if we are to restore elementary law, this type of institutional destruction, characteristic of PiS, must be subject to some kind of sanction and penalty. The motion for impeachment against Mr. Świrski is a logical consequence of such thinking. In addition, I remind you that there is a motion to the prosecutor's office for exceeding authority, within the penal code, which will be considered in parallel. Simply put, we cannot tolerate destroyed institutions by PiS continuing to exist in Poland, while in reality pretending to be those institutions – he continued.

Adam Bodnar announced that a press conference concerning the Justice Fund will be held next Wednesday.

- It will summarize various actions related to the Justice Fund and the various results of audits that have been conducted here. At the same time, we want to state that we are moving on from the past and moving forward in the context of announcing new, fully transparent, professionally prepared competitions - said the Minister of Justice.

- I think it's a matter of days. Prosecutor General Adam Bodnar spoke about it. The prosecution has been working since December and gathering evidence. For example, the director, who has recently made a meteoric media and parliamentary career and talks about things that happened in the Ministry of Justice, has been questioned dozens of times - stated Krzysztof Śmiszek on RMF FM.

- Today, two hours ago at the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers, the draft law amending the Penal Code to prohibit hate speech, to criminalize hate speech, was adopted, and on Tuesday, this draft will most likely be presented at the Council of Ministers and sent to parliament – stated Krzysztof Śmiszek on RMF FM.

- It is very clearly visible that PSL is the brake. It is not Lewica, after all, that is blocking the adoption of the bill on civil partnerships. A bill, not a legislative crumb, but a really decent bill - stated Krzysztof Śmiszek on RMF FM.

- Minister Kotula is working on this project. We are talking, and I deeply believe that after 5 months it is still possible to continue these discussions - he continued.

- I think that today there is no room for delegalizing organizations like this [like PiS]. We need to first examine the party's financing. We must remember who dissolves political parties in Poland – that is the task of the Constitutional Tribunal. In today's conditions, a Constitutional Tribunal that does not exist will certainly not dissolve the PiS party – stated Krzysztof Śmiszek on RMF FM.

- If you don't want to go to war, go to the elections. No one will dare to attack a strong and united Europe; a weak and divided one may fall victim to aggression - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Twitter.

Nie chcesz iść na wojnę, idź na wybory. Silnej i zjednoczonej Europy nikt nie odważy się zaatakować, słaba i podzielona może paść ofiarą agresji.

- Minister Sikorski, with whom I often discuss this, displays profound patience. I know what constitutional powers the president has, and I respect them. Unlike PiS, unlike Kaczyński, and at times, unlike President Duda himself, I am obsessed with upholding and respecting the constitution. This was one of the main reasons why I re-engaged in Polish affairs – so that the constitution governs politics, and not that current politics distorts the constitution – Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated on TVP Info.
