Siemoniak:

The Future of the Sovereign Poland Camp is in Question, It's Gangrene
- I believe that the future of this camp [Sovereign Poland] is in question, because it is like gangrene, so thoroughly corrupted… Various things have already happened in Poland, and various politicians feel well, but here we are dealing with an absolutely criminal situation, in which – as Minister Adam Bodnar said yesterday – requests to lift immunities will be filed shortly - said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24’s “Jeden na jeden”. - Besides, PiS, President Kaczyński, are not really over-exerting themselves in defense of this camp. It is in the public eye in a terrible context. In my opinion, there is no explanation, no defense for what has happened. They all participated in this, they turned the Fund for Justice into a party piggy bank - he added.

08:13

Joński on Kaczyński's Role in the Envelope Election:

He Held No Office, Signed No Documents, But Witnesses Say He Made the Decisions.
- Jarosław Kaczyński is at the end of our list of hearings [before the commission on the envelope election]; this was in the work plan, because Jarosław Kaczyński held no office then, he signed no documents, but according to witness testimonies and documents, it was he who made the decisions. We know perfectly well how this Poland was managed over those 8 years, that as party leader he had significant influence on many decisions, including on prime ministers and marshals - said Dariusz Joński on "Poranek TOK FM".

08:17

Siemoniak:

Mraz is a whistleblower. Such individuals are also present in many other institutions
- He [Tomasz Mraz] submitted these testimonies to the prosecutor's office much earlier and also, as far as I know, his recordings, because that's what's been discussed since yesterday. So, he is a credible person, because he was the director of the Department of the Fund of Justice - said Tomasz Siemoniak in "One on One" on TVN24. - He must have realized quite a while ago that he was participating in criminal proceedings, so he decided to record, note down, and secure various media, waiting for a change of government, because if PiS had remained in power, this would never have happened. He reported to the prosecutor's office, to the ABW (Internal Security Agency), and thanks to his parliamentary hearing, we were all able to learn how it looked. [...] A group operated within the Ministry of Justice that paid no heed to justice - he continued. - There are other whistleblowers in very many institutions. [...] Mr. Mraz is a classic whistleblower who decided to share his knowledge and findings with the justice system. In many other institutions - this example has a very clear impact on various individuals - such people are also present - he emphasized.

08:18

Joński:

Świrski Will Have to Appear Before the Constitutional Accountability Committee
- Mr. Świrski will have to appear before the Constitutional Accountability Committee [...] because the Constitutional Accountability Committee, somewhat like an investigative committee but behind closed doors, will be conducting hearings and gathering documents and evidence. This motion is very well-substantiated, and we are waiting; as soon as it is filed, we will address it, Dariusz Joński said on TOK FM. - Regarding the Constitutional Accountability Committee, it will not take years; the entire process could take a few months in total, he continued.

08:19

Prosecutor General May Have Led a Scheme. Gajewska on the Justice Fund

- 
We are, in fact, perhaps talking about an entire scheme that was created, in which perhaps the Prosecutor General himself was involved, because I wanted to quote something that simply made a terrible impression on me. Minister Romanowski received instructions from Minister Ziobro on which entities were to win; he discussed the list of these entities with him, information on when the competitions were to be announced. Minister Ziobro himself held talks with the entities that were to win in future competitions - stated Aleksandra Gajewska in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- And this is what Mr. Mraz said, meaning he said directly what we have long suspected, and this is the diagnosis: that in the Ministry of Justice, perhaps the Prosecutor General led a scheme in which deputy ministers and state officials may have been involved in order to manage the Justice Fund, in order to distribute public funds to their designated, selected entities that were to pursue specific political goals - she continued.


08:21

Gajewska:

The Prosecution is Independent

- The prosecution is independent, it conducts its activities independently of political processes, which have been ongoing for many months. No one influences it, no one rushes it. In reality, residents demand that it move faster, that these processes be more urgent - stated Aleksandra Gajewska in Polsat News' 'Graffiti'.


08:24

Siemoniak on the Ambassador to NATO:

I'm Surprised by the President, as He Has Information from One of the Services.
"I'm surprised by the president, he has knowledge from one of the services. I'm surprised he's making any issue out of this," said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24's "One on One," referring to Andrzej Duda's opposition to changing Poland's ambassador to NATO. "I don't want to go into details here, this knowledge is not public. [...] I am very surprised that the president and his people are approaching this issue in such a way. He should never have become ambassador and Mr. Szatkowski should return to Warsaw as soon as possible," he indicated, adding that the information is disqualifying for him in the role of Poland's ambassador to NATO. "These reasons, at the request of the head of the National Security Bureau by the way, were handed to the president personally [...]. It is in the state's interest to resolve this matter calmly, quietly, and substantively," he continued. "I expected this matter to be resolved in a way that would avoid confusion and grandstanding, especially from the president's officials. [...] This needs to be closed, dealt with in the interest of the state, and that is how the government will act on this matter," he stated.

08:24

Gajewska on the Potential Ban of Suwerenna Polska:

We Cannot Rule Out Any Scenarios.

- I don't know what will happen. If such a motion is filed with us and there are grounds for it, and these grounds are sufficiently serious, then we will look into it. It is terrifying if MP Jaki believes that Minister Ziobro had grounds to rig competitions for specific beneficiaries and believes that everything is in order, then this is a terrifying political picture of the previous government - stated Aleksandra Gajewska in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- We cannot rule out any scenarios that illustrate what our predecessors did to Polish mechanisms and procedures. The prosecution will determine what irregularities they committed. However, the political picture is catastrophic - she continued, when asked about the potential ban of Suwerenna Polska.


08:25

Joński on Potential Civic Coalition Presidential Candidates: Trzaskowski Has the Greatest Chance
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk has been saying for quite some time that Rafał Trzaskowski, all indications suggest, will be our candidate [in the presidential elections] – said Dariusz Joński on TOK FM. - I am eagerly awaiting that moment, that day, that hour, when Donald Tusk will be Prime Minister in Poland, and Rafał Trzaskowski will be President. [...] Of course, Civic Coalition has excellent male and female candidates, but I'll tell you honestly: when I look at the experience, the competencies, the ability to attract voters, Rafał Trzaskowski has the greatest chance. I am convinced that he will not only win these elections, but simply all of us will finally be proud of a president, no one will laugh at him – he continued.

08:27

Gajewska on Inquiry Committees: 'I Wish Politicians Would Stop Staging Political Spectacles'

- I wish politicians would approach this seriously, that they would stop staging political spectacles, that they would stop addressing each other as 'Mr. Member,' etc. It simply mocks the seriousness of our parliamentary actions. I wish seriousness would simply return to these places - stated Aleksandra Gajewska on Polsat News' "Graffiti."

- The fact that a specific politician comes and, to put it colloquially, makes a mockery of what happened, only shows their attitude towards the residents, towards how the state should function - she continued.

- This is due to the approach to all of this. All those people who behave in this way, regardless of whether they are committee members or witnesses - emphasized the Deputy Minister.


08:49

Siemoniak on Macierewicz:

He is involved in every matter where Poland can be harmed
- He [Antoni Macierewicz] is someone who has been harming Poland for several decades in the most varied ways. Someone who is always involved in every matter where Poland can be harmed, who has repeatedly attacked Polish services, seemingly while looking out for Poland's interests - said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden" program. - President Kaczyński said on his birthday that he came to destroy the general-colonel arrangement. What does that mean? He came to the Ministry of National Defence to destroy the army, and generals and colonels are at the head of the army. He did this very consistently. After all, they themselves [PiS] recalled him; after 2 years, it turned out that Macierewicz cannot be tolerated, he is doing so much harm that he was dismissed - he continued.

08:50

Solutions Adopted Across Party Lines, We Count on the President's Signature. Gajewska on the 'Active Parent' Program

- Both in the Sejm and the Senate, these solutions met with the support of PiS MPs and senators. Generally, across party lines. We count on Mr. President also signing [the 'Active Parent' program act]. It should be emphasized that this is a groundbreaking, very ambitious solution that supports parents, gives them choice, removes barriers, and supports all parents of children up to 3 years old. Access to care will cease to be a barrier – stated Aleksandra Gajewska in Polsat News's "Graffiti".

- If there is no institutional care, and this is the case in 43% of municipalities in Poland, meaning over 1000 municipalities in Poland have no nursery, children's club, or daycare provider, whether private or public. I would like 100,000 new places to be created and I would like to increase the nursery enrollment rate by 10% – she continued.


08:51

Biedroń on the Justice Fund: An Organized Criminal Group
This is complete degeneration, one has to be completely degenerate to steal money designated for the most needy individuals. People who are victims of violence, victims of the gravest crimes, to rob them of the funds meant to help them overcome these tragedies. What's worst is that it was done by an organized criminal group, as we can see, people who had no scruples, no inhibitions. It's evident that a mafia-like arrangement was created, an arrangement in which public money was siphoned off. I'll remind you, the Supreme Audit Office (NIK) is talking about it, around 280 million zlotys, it's already confirmed by NIK, were improperly siphoned off – stated Robert Biedroń on the program "Guest of the Morning" on TVP Info. Today, we must do everything to clarify this situation. For years, it was said that the Justice Fund was a fund of injustice. No, I don't think anyone expected [the scale of abuses], that's why we are so outraged. Fabricating documents, as these gentlemen say, preparing materials so that specific foundations would win, the scale of abuses is enormous – he continued.

08:52

Biedroń on the Justice Fund:

One of the Biggest Scandals of the Third Polish Republic.

- I cannot imagine that we, as a society, will simply move past such a huge scandal; this is one of the biggest scandals of the Third Polish Republic. I know there have been many scandals, but to rob the poorest, most needy people. This is the most despicable thing one can do in politics, and we cannot just move past it. Regardless of the political affiliation of those accused, they should stand before justice – stated Robert Biedroń on TVP Info.


08:52

Biedroń on European Parliament Elections: The Left is the Most Pro-European

- We are doing everything we can to make this result even better. We have excellent lists, former prime ministers, Mr. Cimoszewicz, Belka, current MEPs, like myself, parliamentarians, deputy ministers, local government officials. The lists are very rich in terms of candidates. The Left is the most pro-European; today's election is about whether Poland, in 20 years, will be able to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Poland's presence in the EU, or the anniversary of Poland's exit from the EU – said Robert Biedroń on TVP Info.


09:01

Jaki Predicts: Of Course, Everyone Will Have Trials. Lawsuits Are Imminent

- Of course, everyone will have trials. Lawsuits are obvious, in the near future. On the grounds that people are being accused of exercising state authority. It's like this: the minister had the right from the beginning to the end regarding the purpose of a given competition and who would ultimately receive the funds. This is the exercise of state authority - stated Patryk Jaki in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Radia Zet".


09:03

Jaki:

We Truly Live in a Gangster State

-We truly live in a gangster state. On the one hand, there's the twisted case of Grodzki, where 250 people testified that he demanded financial benefits from them, and on the other hand, a priest is arrested because his foundation allegedly had an improper status. A former deputy minister from Civic Platform approved this, because this is precisely the kind of just state we have - stated Patryk Jaki on the program "Gość Radia Zet".


09:07

Jaki:

Sovereign Poland Consistently Opposes the Green Deal

- Sovereign Poland is a formation of Polish sovereignty that very consistently opposes the Green Deal, the conditioning of fund disbursement on so-called self-governance criteria. I am indeed sitting on the defendant's bench for so-called hate speech because I liked a video that showed illegal migration brings crime - stated Patryk Jaki on the program "Gość Radia Zet".


09:11

Jaki on Ziobro: Had Another Operation, His Health Condition is Really Bad

- Yesterday Zbigniew Ziobro had another operation related to his health condition, but I don't know the details. His health condition is weak, really bad. The Minister should be in the hospital, and we know under what circumstances he had to return to Poland and his health deteriorated. I don't know the results of this operation yet - stated Patryk Jaki on the program "Gość Radia Zet".


10:26

Joński Rejects Kaczyński’s Motion:

This Essentially Undermines the Legality of This Committee’s Actions.

- I reject this motion. My decision today is also motivated by the need to ensure the proper functioning of the committee. I remind you that a person summoned by the committee comes for interrogation to answer questions from committee members, who, with these questions, aim to examine and clarify the matter entrusted to them - stated Dariusz Joński during a session of the investigative committee on envelope elections.

- The Constitutional Tribunal's ruling from 2006 clearly states that I have this type of right, and if it is denied to me, it will be a violation of this provision. This essentially undermines the legality of this committee’s actions - said Jarosław Kaczyński.


10:28

Gliński on the Justice Fund:

Whether one likes it or not, the body that controlled this fund, and thus made decisions, was the minister.
- Whether one likes it or not, the body that controlled this fund, and thus made decisions, was the minister, in this case, the Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro. These procedures were consultative and advisory in nature, certain proposals were presented to the minister [...] all these revelations that the minister influenced, the minister did not influence. [...] As far as the Justice Fund is concerned, we can evaluate it negatively or positively [...] the letter of the law granted powers to the Minister of Justice, I think that this is still in effect - said Piotr Gliński in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on the program "Sedno Sprawy" on Radio Plus.

10:31

Kaczyński:

The Platform Bears 100% of the Blame
The commission operates on a principle that can generously be described as paradoxical. That is, the full, 100% blame for not holding these elections, for the fact that they did not take place, lies with Civic Platform and the representatives of the coalition that governs today, which forms the majority here. We are dealing with a situation where those who are the perpetrators of various kinds of offenses – I am not evaluating at this moment whether they are only constitutional or also criminal – are placing those who wanted to fulfill their constitutional duty in a position of being, at least in their genesis, accused. This situation is inherently contradictory to the Constitution – stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the session of the investigative committee on envelope elections.

10:34

Kaczyński:

If the committee doesn't recognize the Constitutional Tribunal, why should I recognize the committee?

- Because, as I know, the committee does not recognize, for example, the Constitutional Tribunal, then the question is why should I recognize the committee? And this is a very important question. Because either you recognize order in the state or you don't. If you don't, and the committee doesn't recognize it, it means the majority of the committee doesn't recognize it... - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the session of the investigative committee into the postal ballot elections.


10:39

Gliński on the Director of the Institute of National Thought Heritage: The Newly Appointed Usurper
- We did everything in accordance with the law; there were competitions, responsible and appropriate institutions, and suitable officials. I also had oversight, but this is always the oversight of the minister in a specific area. I have nothing to hide [...]. What is characteristic is that all these reports are appearing during the election campaign, and that NIK [Supreme Audit Office], as Banaś announced, is cooperating very clearly politically, so they have a political character, which is completely obvious, that's my assessment. And the fact that the newly appointed usurper, because he was appointed unlawfully, just as the previous director was unlawfully dismissed during the term of this institution [Institute of National Thought Heritage], Mr. Leszczyński, is speaking out in the media about a report that doesn't even exist yet - said Piotr Gliński on Radio Plus.

10:50

Kaczyński:

The Commission is Essentially Illegal and Acts in a Manner Entirely Contrary to the Constitution

- I have said this once before, and if I have referred to the fact that you do not remember events from when you were 9 years old, it indicates certain developmental difficulties - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the session of the investigative committee for the postal vote elections.

- I am not proud to be before this commission, because I repeat, the commission is essentially illegal and acts in a manner entirely contrary to the Constitution, the law, and common sense. Naturally, excluding some of its members - he continued.


11:03

Kaczyński:

Without obstruction from PO, the elections could have proceeded flawlessly

- Had it not been for the obstruction from PO, which was simply defending its interests, the candidate would have been in a very difficult situation at that moment, a boycott of the elections was announced, we were dealing with various kinds of very strange moves, then these elections could have proceeded in a completely correct manner, and I do not know the motives of Chairman Marciniak - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the sitting of the investigative committee for the postal elections.


11:33

Kaczyński:

The Commission is Performing Electoral Tasks, Its Head is Running for MEP
- The Commission, instead of dealing with the Civic Platform and all this obstruction towards the plan to hold legal presidential elections, risking a serious political crisis in the country […], it should actually be the subject of the Commission's actions – stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the sitting of the investigation committee on postal elections. - However, this Commission is performing certain political tasks, and at the moment, […] I am even sure that also of a purely electoral nature, which undermines the very purpose of its functioning, given that its chairman is running for the European Parliament – he continued. Responding to Jacek Karnowski's remark that "the vice-chairman is also running," he retorted: - That also includes the vice-chairman, it should suspend its activities at this moment.

12:21

New PO Spot:

No Limits on Funds for Poland's Security.
"There are no limits on funds when it comes to Poland's security" - says Prime Minister Donald Tusk in a statement featured in a new Civic Platform (PO) spot. The short video included references to the Pilica+ system, K2 tanks, Apache helicopters, and the modernization of F-16 aircraft.

13:34

Kaczyński on Envelope Elections:

It Was an Idea I Fully Admit To.
"It was an idea I fully admit to, but the idea wasn't mine in the sense that it originated in other countries. I don't know when such elections were first conducted; I can't recall it at the moment. But when someone conveyed this idea to me here, I accepted it, and in that sense, it became mine," Jarosław Kaczyński stated before the commission on envelope elections, when asked if organizing elections by mail was his idea.

"I don't remember," he continued, when asked who conveyed the idea to him.

13:43

Duda on Funds for Local Government in Recent Years:

This is a Great Achievement of the United Right.
- It is impossible not to state honestly and fairly that there have indeed been exceptional opportunities over the past 9 years. Why? For a very simple reason: enormous amounts of money have been directed to local governments for the development of local Poland, at all its levels. Various dedicated government funds, alongside those that have always existed for over 20 years – European funds – have been joined by huge government funds intended for development, road modernization, the creation of new infrastructure, and for what is so necessary to improve the quality of life. Yes, this is a great achievement of successive United Right governments, for which I am very grateful – stated Andrzej Duda during the celebrations of Local Government Day.

13:44

Duda on Civil Defense: We Must Build What Has Been Neglected
- Today, Poland still needs real sweat and blood to accomplish many tasks, including those related to population safety and civil defense. There is so much yet to be done. Someone will say: these are very difficult times. Ladies and gentlemen, I will tell you – it should always be like this. We should always have adequate shelters, we should always have adequate evacuation plans. Unfortunately, this has been neglected, let's say it openly, it is a neglect of decades. This must now be created, done wisely, prepared, in order to increase the safety of our citizens – said Andrzej Duda during the celebrations of Local Government Day.

15:56

"Out of the Goodness of My Heart": Kaczyński Explains Why He's Participating in a Committee Session He Deems Illegal
- The person summoned has already announced several times that if they don't like something, they will leave our assembly, which I understand to be "illegal" - stated Anita Kucharska-Dziedzic during the session of the investigative committee on envelope elections. - Because it is illegal - Jarosław Kaczyński replied. - Why are you participating in something that is illegal? - Magdalena Filiks pressed. - Out of the goodness of my heart - Kaczyński answered.

16:02

Kaczyński to TVN24 Reporter: There's an Organized Crime Group Here. Joński Announces Motion to Ethics Committee
- I want to know these recordings above all, because I don't know them. I don't know these recordings, I need to have them, to listen to them - said Jarosław Kaczyński, when asked by journalists about the Justice Fund case.

When pressed by a TVN24 reporter whether we are dealing with an organized crime group here, he replied, pointing his finger at the base of the microphone she was holding: - I suspect there's an organized crime group here.

The head of the commission for the envelope elections, Dariusz Joński, responded to Jarosław Kaczyński's words.

- These words should not have been spoken at all. This is an investigative commission, there are journalists here, this is not a dinner meeting at Ms. Przyłębska's […]. In connection with what you said to a reporter from one of the stations, there will be a second motion to the ethics committee. I hope this will at least stop you for a moment from insulting further individuals in this room - he said.

17:25

Tusk:

I have evidence that those who sought to cause sabotage were hired by Russian services

- If we are helpless in the face of internal agents, in the face of sabotage (...) I already have evidence that the individuals who sought to bring this about were directly hired by Russian services. We are talking about deliberate arson, whether it be forests or shopping centers, but we are also talking about assaults commissioned by Belarusian and Russian special services, so these are very serious matters. We must have a hundred percent certainty that at least at the highest levels of power, in places responsible for Poland's security, there are people who are not subject to Russian influence - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Białystok.


17:33

Tusk:

East Shield Presentation at General Staff on Monday
On Monday, a detailed presentation will take place at the General Staff regarding the fortified East Shield. We truly want this to be the safest border in Europe. As soon as we announced it, the prime ministers of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia contacted us, and I am in constant contact with China - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Białystok.

17:35

Tusk:

Poland and Europe's Security Depends on You in Podlasie, Warmia, and Masuria

- I wanted to thank you very much for showing extraordinary spirit, even though the consequences of the war, the consequences of tensions, the consequences of Lukashenka's brutal actions at the border, this illegal migration organized by Russia and Belarus, that all of this is felt most acutely right here, and that so much depends on you. Above all, it depends on ensuring that not only Podlasie, Warmia, and Masuria, but also Lublin region, Subcarpathia, feel safe, but it also depends on you that all of Poland, and in a sense, all of Europe, feels safe – stated Donald Tusk in Białystok.


17:44

Tusk:

Don't Underestimate June 9th

- I beg all of you in Poland, don't underestimate this June 9th. I know it might sound arrogant, you know, I'm not running, I'm not asking you to do this for me, really not. Only that we do it for ourselves, for all of us, because our security will depend on it - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Białystok.


17:46

Tusk on EP Elections:

These Elections Hold Historical Significance.
- I want to tell you that these elections. These particular European Parliament elections hold truly historic and historical significance today. Not because, I don't know, it's the 35th anniversary of June 4th and it happens to be historical, because Poland's future in the coming years, and perhaps decades, will largely depend on what the authorities in the European Union look like. We are truly one step away from pro-Russian forces openly gaining the upper hand in Europe – stated Donald Tusk in Białystok.

17:52

Kaczyński, Morawiecki, Witek, and Others: Committee Announces Prosecutor's Office Referrals
- Today's hearing of Jarosław Kaczyński closes the loop on the most crucial witnesses in this case [...]. Today's witness was important because NIK (Supreme Audit Office) had previously filed notifications against Morawiecki and other important individuals, but no one investigated this political angle - Dariusz Joński stated at a press conference after the conclusion of the investigative committee's session on postal elections. - This political angle is extremely significant because the witness Jarosław Kaczyński never signed anything in this matter; he was a mere MP, yet it turns out he made the most important decisions regarding the date and method of conducting the elections - he continued. - The report will be an indictment against these 8 years of PiS rule and the kind of dysfunctional state that PiS created [...]. We intend to file a notification with the prosecutor's office against Jarosław Kaczyński himself for managerial agency. For making decisions, although he had no authority to do so. Neither Marshal Witek nor the Prime Minister authorized him to decide on the date and method of conducting the elections - he stated. - We also want to file a notification with the prosecutor's office against former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who, without legal basis, despite having legal opinions on his desk that clearly stated that signing these decisions carried criminal, financial, and constitutional responsibility - nevertheless signed the decision, and following that, almost 100 million zlotys were disbursed - he went on to say. Committee members also announced their intention to file notifications against Elżbieta Witek - for the fact that such an important act [...] on the election of the President of the Republic of Poland, one of the most crucial laws, was carried out not negligently, but with a violation of the law, as our experts have repeatedly stated - as well as Jacek Sasin, Mariusz Kamiński, and the former leadership of Poczta Polska and Polska Wytwórnia Papierów Wartościowych.

18:12

Tusk on the East Shield:

Our Priority Must Be Security.

- I will not deceive anyone by saying that security must be our priority. When we talk about the East Shield, we are talking about multi-billion investments on our eastern and northern border, we are talking about various types of fortifications, changes to the terrain that will significantly hinder the mobility of a potential aggressor, while greatly facilitating the mobility of our army and Border Guard, which will radically increase security and protection for the civilian population in the event of any unfortunate occurrences – said Donald Tusk in Białystok.


19:14

Tusk Cancels Dziemianowicz-Bąk’s Announcement:

We Will Not Propose a Higher Jump.

- The Minister [Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk] has a left-wing sensibility and would very much like to help everyone, which in a sense is very good that she has such a sensibility - Donald Tusk said in Białystok.

- The Minister will hear from me on Tuesday that, in accordance with the government's obligations, we will propose a minimum wage increase of nearly 5%, as the law imposes this obligation on us, but we will not propose a higher jump - he added.


19:52

Petru:

PiS remains a very serious threat to democracy
PiS remains a very serious threat to Polish democracy, to the Polish state system. I believe it is still in good shape, contrary to what is being said. Therefore, I do not dismiss it - stated Ryszard Petru in "Fakty po faktach" on TVN24.
