President Seeks Cooperation on Security Matters: Mastalerek on National Security Council Session

- The President wants cooperation on security matters, and that's precisely how he views the National Security Council (RBN). After all, representatives from all opposition formations are present there, and that's what it's meant to serve, and these are classified sessions. The President will certainly speak about the NATO summit, but he will also want it to be the stance of the entire political class - stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

Mastalerek:

Perhaps Wroński should stop complaining to his former colleagues and spreading falsehoods
Of course, it was on one plane. President Duda invited Minister Sikorski and Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz. I understand you're referring to the morning article in "Gazeta Wyborcza." I would describe it as "joyful creation." There are so many fake news items in it that it's difficult to take seriously. The President is trying to build unity, he extends his hand, he invites Minister Sikorski, Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, and then we read in "Gazeta Wyborcza" that they barely fit on the plane, some sort of complaints. I understand that the MFA spokesperson Paweł Wroński is a former editor of "Gazeta Wyborcza," but perhaps he should stop complaining to his former colleagues and simply stop spreading falsehoods – stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - I also heard that you, discussing this article with your colleague on TVN24, said that two planes were flying and supposedly a large delegation. There are always two cars [planes] flying, because that's how the HEAD instruction works. The second is a backup. This time, do you know who will be flying in the backup? Journalists, including Paweł Wroński, so that the first one arrives without an intermediate landing. Stop practicing "joyful creation" in Wyborcza, and focus on the facts – he added.

08:08

Mastalerek on the NATO Summit:

Szatkowski Won't Be on This Plane.

- No, it has been obvious for a long time that Ambassador Szatkowski will not be on this plane. It has been obvious since the moment the government blocked Ambassador Szatkowski's participation in the NATO summit. The President, of course, nominated him, because he is the ambassador, Tomasz Szatkowski is the ambassador, the President nominated his participation, the government blocked the participation - stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

08:09

"I Say Firmly and Unequivocally: No." Zandberg on Reducing Spending on Public Healthcare
- When I hear liberal politicians who want to cut spending on public healthcare, who say: let's finance another gift for very wealthy people, and the cost of this will be fewer resources in the system for treating the less affluent, I say very firmly and unequivocally: no, and I believe that the duty of the Left in such a situation is to say very firmly and unequivocally "no," because that's why people elected us to parliament, that's why the Left exists, to be pro-social and to stand guard over elementary social justice - said Adrian Zandberg on Polsat News.

08:15

Zandberg on Increasing the Energy Voucher:

The Liberals Rejected It, In My Opinion, We Need to Return to It.
- The fact is what people are getting today on their bills, which arrive, and it is simply written very clearly on those bills that they have to pay more for this energy, for heating, for gas. I am saying this because, in my opinion, this is a matter that needs to be dealt with immediately. That is, we need to help those households, those families, which will be very heavily hit by these increases in a moment. As Razem, we have proposed amendments to the act in this matter, increasing the energy voucher so that poorer families, those at risk of energy poverty, receive real and sufficient support. The liberals rejected it, in my opinion, we need to return to it and consistently pursue it - said Adrian Zandberg on Polsat News.

08:24

Mastalerek:

If PO Does This, It Will Actually Harm PiS

- The issue of the Justice Fund will be used as a pretext by PO to try to revoke subsidies, grants, and also reimbursements for the previous campaign. I think this will be a pretext, it will be an anti-democratic blow against the opposition, but if PO does it, it will actually harm PiS, and might even make normal operations + running in the presidential elections impossible. It will be an anti-democratic action, but if they do it, it will likely be effective. It will be a big problem for President Kaczyński - stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

08:26

Zandberg on Copyright Law: If Razem's Amendments Aren't Adopted, We Should Submit a Parliamentary Bill
- On Monday, there will be a meeting with representatives of creative communities, with representatives of journalists. I hope that representatives of Civic Platform and The Third Way will also appear at this meeting, that they will listen to what the journalistic community says, and I hope that the amendments that the Razem MPs have submitted in the Sejm [to the copyright law] and which will be resubmitted in the Senate, will be adopted - said Adrian Zandberg in Polsat News. - In my opinion, we will then submit this change again in the form of a parliamentary bill [if the amendments are not adopted], or at least we should do so; we will probably discuss this in our parliamentary club. But we are still at a point where it can be fixed - he continued.

08:28

Mastalerek:

Błaszczak Repeated My Words Verbatim, and Those Were Probably the Last Sensible Things He Said
I don't think I have anything else to do, I can only leave this studio and practically end my career [after Mariusz Błaszczak's words]. I'll say goodbye and just leave - stated Marcin Mastalerek on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - I haven't had contact with Mariusz Błaszczak for 8 years. In fact, I feel a certain fondness for Mariusz Błaszczak, because I remember how I co-managed the election campaign in 2015. I was the spokesperson for PiS and responsible for the so-called media messaging, meaning the briefs, what PiS politicians said. Mariusz Błaszczak was always such a model student, repeating verbatim what I wrote for him to say, and those were probably the last sensible words Chairman Błaszczak uttered. Perhaps in the future, I will write his briefs and messages again, and he will start speaking more reasonably, because what he's saying now, I could have written better - he continued.

09:01

Leszczyna's Proposals for Healthcare Reform:

Three Steps.
- First, I propose three steps, because this inverted pyramid is essentially the last step. The first step is deregulation, the second is the transformation of hospital care, and the third step is this inverted pyramid – stated Izabela Leszczyna on TOK FM. - This transformation of hospitals today must involve having more long-term care wards, specifically care facilities, because unfortunately, we are aging, and acute surgery in many cases can become elective. In addition to that, of course, emergency departments, because God forbid something happens – she continued. - This Thursday, July 11th, I am meeting with district governors, regional marshals, and directors of district hospitals, as we have the most of them, and the agreements between local governments will be most important there. But please, I want to reassure everyone. My team and I are presenting a concept, we want to provide know-how, we want to provide funds for investments, even for debt restructuring, but everything will be voluntary. We will make a proposal that, I hope, local governments will want to take advantage of – she added.

09:06

Leszczyna on Health Contribution:

We Cannot Go As Far As Petru Wants.
- Minister Domański and I worked on our proposal for changing the contribution according to our promises, so that it would be a lump sum and, above all, so that an entrepreneur wouldn't pay based on the sale of part of their company, or a car, or anything else, and such a project exists. The Left does not agree to it, and the Third Way [TD] is proposing some crazy project that would reduce the NFZ's [National Health Fund] revenues – stated Izabela Leszczyna on TOK FM. - We want to be honest, we are offering entrepreneurs a lump sum, so they don't pay this contribution on some kind of sale. However, we cannot go as far as Mr. Petru wants, because we genuinely need funds for the healthcare of citizens, and the Left, in turn, wants to return to the PRL [Polish People's Republic] era, in the sense that they want budget financing – she added.

09:07

Leszczyna:

Excise Duty on Alcohol Should Be Higher
- Absolutely yes [excise duty on alcohol should be higher]. I certainly believe that all these unfortunate, innovative tobacco products, e-cigarettes, they generally have too low excise duties, and these unfortunate disposables must have an additional environmental fee, because we are truly littering the planet with them – said Izabela Leszczyna on TOK FM.

09:42

Duda:

We Perfectly Understand NATO's Purpose – Ensuring Allied, and Global Security
- Today we are flying to Washington for the jubilee summit of NATO, which marks the 75th anniversary of the North Atlantic Alliance. In the context of the situation taking place […] in our part of Europe, in Ukraine […], but also, of course, of all that we will discuss at the summit, including the situation in another part of the world, in Asia, related to concerns around China, […] with actions taken in recent years and months by the North Korean regime - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting of the National Security Council. - These will certainly be issues we will raise and actively participate in discussions on. We have always emphasized that we perfectly understand the purpose of the North Atlantic Alliance. The most important function is, of course, ensuring allied security […], but of course, in essence, we all know that NATO also de facto takes on the task of ensuring global security - he continued.

09:51

Duda:

Our Primary View of the NATO Summit is Through the Lens of Poland's Security Interests
- Naturally, we view this summit primarily from the perspective of Poland's security interests; that is what concerns us most. […] In our conviction, this summit must above all be another step towards strengthening our security, both in the immediate term and for the future - stated President Andrzej Duda during a meeting of the National Security Council. - Strengthening the North Atlantic Alliance's presence in our part of Europe, and this in several respects. Firstly, regarding the full implementation of the decisions from the last two summits […], the full implementation of the so-called regional plans, meaning ensuring the capability for rapid relocation of designated, dedicated NATO forces to intervene and ensure security in case of necessity - in accordance with what President Joe Biden has repeatedly stated, including here, that every inch of NATO territory will be defended - he continued.

09:55

Duda:

Unfortunately, Everything Indicates That an Official Invitation for Ukraine to NATO Will Not Be Achieved
- Unfortunately, everything indicates that it will not be possible to obtain what I personally have been striving for for Ukraine in recent months since the previous NATO summit, namely an official invitation for Ukraine to NATO. There is no unity here when it comes to the Alliance – said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting of the National Security Council. - But one conviction exists – that decisions must be made so that Ukraine’s path to NATO is irreversible – he added. - There will be here [...] a whole series of decisions taken during the NATO summit, concerning the strengthening of Ukraine, support from NATO for Ukraine, specific security guarantees which are being granted to Ukraine in various ways. They will also be strengthened through decisions that NATO will make in Washington in the near future – he continued.

10:11

Duda on the Necessity of Increasing NATO Defense Spending:

Russia Threatens the World with War Again.
- Another very important element for us is the issue of defense spending. The situation is changing positively, it can be boldly said, within the Alliance. Today, 23 countries are implementing the principle [...] that the level of defense spending must reach at least 2% of GDP – said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting of the National Security Council. - We say: this is very good, we are pleased, we hope that very soon all member states will implement this at least 2%, but in essence, more is needed today. We are currently spending over 4% of GDP on defense [...]. We are doing this for obvious preventive purposes, but we believe that other members of the Alliance should act in the same way and that this level of defense spending should increase – he indicated. - I said that I believe that the Alliance states should return to the level of spending that was during the Cold War, when Soviet Russia threatened Europe and the world with war. Today, Russia is truly threatening Europe and the world with war again, we all see it. Russia attacked Ukraine. There is therefore no doubt that the Alliance states' response must be adequate. Alliance states must be strong – he emphasized.

10:19

Duda:

On Security Matters, I Share the Government's Stance
- We have received the government's position prepared for the NATO summit, we have analyzed it in detail [...]. We share this position. I want to strongly emphasize: Poland speaks with one voice. The President of the Republic of Poland holds the same position on these matters as the government, there is no divergence here - said President Andrzej Duda during a meeting of the National Security Council. - Poland speaks with one voice on security matters. There are no divergences on the Polish political scene in this regard - he stressed.

12:04

Tusk Publishes Photo with Zelenskyy:

You Can Always Count On Us in This Fight.

- Perseverance and courage. These words best describe Volodymyr Zelenskyy's stance in the fight for a secure Ukraine and a secure Europe. In this fight, you can always count on us - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on Twitter.

13:46

Tusk to Zelensky: You Can Continue to Count on Us

- I want to say that you can continue to count on us. We would prefer, just like you, that Ukraine would once again be a safe home for everyone, but for as long as some of your compatriots need help, they will feel at home here, in our country, and nothing will change in this matter - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the media alongside President Zelensky.

13:51

Tusk:

We will continue to urge our allies to make Ukraine's path to both the EU and NATO as swift as possible

- This path for Ukraine to NATO is longer than you would want, than Poland would want. We are aware of this. For now, we will do everything to make NATO's assistance as effective as possible for Ukraine. If you don't receive an unambiguous declaration tomorrow or the day after, nothing will change in Poland's stance. We will continue to urge our allies to make this path, this route to both the EU and NATO, as swift as possible for Ukraine – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the media alongside President Zelensky.

13:53

Tusk:

I will effectively ensure in the EU that nothing about Ukraine is decided without Ukraine

- Nobody has the right to decide on Ukraine's future peace and its shape without Ukraine, and in Ukraine's name. Nobody has the right to speak on behalf of Poland, the entire EU without full agreement with Ukraine and with all of us, when it comes to potential talks with Moscow. Here, we will not only be united in solidarity, but I will also personally and truly effectively ensure in the EU that nothing about Ukraine is decided without Ukraine, and that nothing about European policy towards Ukraine is decided without the EU as a whole - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the media alongside President Zelensky.

13:54

Tusk on the Commitment with Ukraine Regarding Security:

19 Countries and the EU as a Whole Have Signed It.

- The immediate reason for our meeting was the signing, which you have just witnessed, of an important document. Already 19 countries and the EU as a whole have signed similar mutual commitments with Ukraine regarding common security – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a press conference with President Zelensky.

13:54

Tusk:

Whoever Defends Ukraine Today Also Defends Themselves, and These Words Have Special Meaning in Poland
- We know very well that this war, if it ended badly, it would end badly not only for Ukraine, but also for Poland, for all of Europe, for the entire Western world. Today, no one can have any doubts [...] unlike at the beginning of the conflict, practically the entire free world admits that Russia's war with Ukraine and Ukraine's heroic defense is a defense of our entire world - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference. - This aid is also help for oneself. I want these words to resonate very strongly once again. We Poles help Ukraine both out of friendship and solidarity, but also out of our own, well-understood interest. Whoever defends Ukraine today also defends themselves, and these words have special meaning in Poland. Therefore, this is perhaps even the best guarantee of our cooperation for security [...] our security is shared and inseparable - he continued.

14:05

Tusk to Ukrainians: When your most difficult moments are behind you, we will talk about what unites us and what must stop dividing us
- Today, Ukraine is in need, and today we will not be dedicating time to other matters, because Ukraine is fighting for its independence, for its territories, for its survival. But I am glad that even in such difficult times, you have found the readiness for a serious conversation about what was difficult in our past. And these signals we receive from you give us reason for optimism that when your most difficult moments are behind you, we will calmly return, sit at the table, and talk about all that unites us and all that must stop dividing us, if anything like that still exists – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

14:09

Tusk on the Possibility of Sending MiGs to Ukraine:

It Cannot Come at the Expense of Poland's Security.

- 
Questions are being asked about the MiGs, this is also related to secure skies over Ukraine and Poland. And here we said to ourselves - today we simply cannot transfer the MiGs because they currently perform the function of air policing, i.e., guarding the skies over Poland, also as part of NATO missions. However, we have recognized that if only NATO allies, NATO member states, allow us to replace what we have with some other aircraft, and the MiGs, as we know, would be very useful for Ukraine as soon as possible due to their ease of operation, then if this type of balance can be maintained, I will certainly try to persuade our partners here in Poland, I mean the commands, to implement such decisions as quickly as possible, but I emphasize, it cannot come at the expense of Poland's security - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the media alongside President Zelensky.

14:17

Tusk:

We will discuss in NATO shooting down Russian missiles heading towards Poland while still over Ukrainian territory
- We have been discussing for a long time an idea, which, by the way, originated in Poland – the idea of reacting to missile attacks, when it comes to rockets, missiles heading towards Poland, and are still over Ukrainian territory, with the intention of trying to shoot them down, without waiting for them to enter NATO territory, but while they are still over Ukrainian land. This seems absolutely logical - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the media alongside President Zelenskyy. - Poland was the first country to start discussing this with Ukraine. We need clear cooperation within NATO for this, because these types of actions require this common NATO responsibility. It is in the interest of both Poland and Ukraine that everything concerning our shared security and actions bears the stamp of international solidarity, including NATO solidarity - he continued. - We don't delude each other that this is an easy decision, because these are not easy decisions. That is why we have included the need to discuss this matter in the document. We will involve other NATO allies in this discussion. We are treating this matter seriously as an open, but not yet finalized issue - he emphasized.

14:20

Tusk's Message to Orban:

These Politicians Have Written Themselves into the Pages of Shame.
I dedicate these words to Viktor Orbán – history remembers politicians who convinced themselves and others that they were working for a just peace, but in fact worked for capitulation. And these politicians have written themselves into the pages of shame. A just peace, which is what Europe and Poland stand for, is a peace that respects Ukraine's territorial integrity, its full independence, its choices, such as the choice to be a member of NATO or the EU. This is a just peace, and we will want to work together for such a peace – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the media alongside President Zelensky.

14:25

Tusk:

We're Working on Burning Coal Without Paying for Emissions and Sending Electricity to Ukraine
- We are currently working in Poland and our people are discussing how we can directly help supply Ukraine with electricity before winter. [...] We are currently working on how to burn Polish coal, which we have plenty of at the moment, so as not to pay for burning this coal, meaning for emissions, and to send electricity generated by Polish power plants from Polish coal, using European funds, via the existing energy bridge to Ukraine – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

14:34

Duda-Zelensky Meeting Begins
- President Andrzej Duda, before departing for the NATO summit, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Belvedere Palace - the Presidential Chancellery informed, publishing a video of the moment the two leaders greeted each other.

15:54

Registered Partnership Bill Officially on Government Track. Kotula Announces Further Steps
- After many months of meetings, negotiations, and the work of an expert team – the bill on registered partnerships is officially on the government track. What does this mean? The project has been entered into the government's work schedule. This is another step, and ahead of us are inter-ministerial agreements and public consultations. Every subsequent step brings us closer to a Poland that will be more friendly, safe, and open – for everyone. The Poland we promised you – wrote Katarzyna Kotula on Twitter.

16:13

Duda to Zelenskyy: Poland's Voice at the NATO Summit Will Roar Loudly for and About Ukraine
- The issue of Ukraine's accession to NATO can be conditioned by only one thing - the will of the Ukrainian society. If Ukrainian society has the will to belong to the North Atlantic Alliance, then NATO absolutely cannot hesitate, and Ukraine must be admitted to NATO - said President Andrzej Duda at the Belvedere, during a meeting with a Ukrainian delegation. - It is no secret to anyone that we have supported these European and Euro-Atlantic aspirations of Ukrainian society from the very beginning, we have supported them and will continue to support them, perhaps especially in this unique situation that Ukraine finds itself in today. In the coming days […] we will definitely express this in Washington - he emphasized. - If any voice will roar loudly for and about Ukraine there, across the ocean, it will certainly be the voice of Poland. I say this in the broadest sense of the word, because I want to assure you, Mr. President and gentlemen, that there is no differentiation on the Polish political scene in this regard, when it comes to the political forces that hold power in the Republic of Poland today. Regardless of party affiliation, we speak with one voice - he assured.

16:20

Duda:

It Would Be Best If Ukraine Received a Formal NATO Invitation
- We are saying: it would be best today if Ukraine received a formal invitation to the North Atlantic Alliance. […] The initiation of this process would be a very important signal, on the one hand, to Ukrainian society – it would have huge psychological significance, boosting the morale of Ukraine's defenders too, but on the other hand, it would also be a very strong message directed at the aggressor, towards Russia, demonstrating the Alliance's policy cohesion – said President Andrzej Duda in the Belvedere, during a meeting with a Ukrainian delegation. - I believe that such a voice will be articulated by the North Atlantic Alliance in the near future, and this ratification process will be able to begin – he added.

16:25

Duda:

Ukraine can be certain of Polish support
- I want to express my satisfaction with President [Volodymyr] Zelensky's visit here today, that Poland is a stop on his way to Washington. Because this is an important signal of solidarity and good neighbourly friendship for us, as well as for the entire world - said President Andrzej Duda at the Belvedere Palace, during a meeting with the Ukrainian delegation. - I want to repeat once again: Ukraine can be certain of Polish support - he emphasized.

17:59

Hołownia on NATO:

Not Just the United States is a Security Guarantor.

- NATO is a structure that should finally also start thinking that it is not only the United States that is a guarantor of security, but we are here thirty-odd states, which also have our lessons to learn, and various things can happen everywhere with each of us, and the alliance must last and the alliance must ensure our security. That is why we must do everything to be able to do things with America, but also without America, if that is America's decision, and this is the strategic thinking of the alliance today – stated Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists.

18:00

Hołownia:

I'm not afraid of what will happen to Ukraine if Trump becomes president

- I am not afraid of what will happen to Ukraine if Donald Trump becomes president. However, I know that we must do absolutely everything today to strengthen our defensive capabilities on the European continent, rather than solely looking to the United States all the time. In 10 years, we as NATO must be in a different place – said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists.

19:11

Duda before departing for the NATO summit:

I will propose that we begin discussing the prospect of further increasing defense spending.
"We will discuss the implementation of regional plans. Today, NATO has 500,000 soldiers on high alert, and 23 allied countries are already spending over 2% annually on defense. I will also propose that we begin discussing the prospect of further increasing the level of these expenditures. Of course, NATO will certainly not make such a decision at this summit, but we want the topic to be raised," stated President Andrzej Duda before departing for Washington.

19:13

Morawiecki Comments on Tusk's Tweet:

Stop to Putin's Allies.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Tusk stated that the results of the French elections were a "disappointment for Moscow." He probably didn't check the views of their winner, Jean-Luc Melenchon, - Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on Twitter.

The extreme French left is a threat to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, to NATO's eastern flank, to Poland. Stop to Putin's allies! - he added.

19:16

Duda Ahead of NATO Summit Departure:

On the Matter of Security, Polish Authorities Speak with One Voice.
Together with me in the Polish delegation are the Minister of Defence and the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Poland speaks with one voice, we have exactly the same security policy, pursued uninterruptedly for several years, especially since the full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine, we are increasing defence spending – stated President Andrzej Duda before departing for Washington.

On the most important matter, security, Polish authorities speak with one voice, and this is the most important signal – he added.

19:52

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

Further KPO Funds Expected by Year-End
- We have completed the revision of the KPO, the largest revision any member state has ever undertaken for its National Recovery Plan, at a truly lightning speed. [...] The Law and Justice party (PiS) has various ways of explaining why they didn't release these funds, but the hard facts are that they simply didn't release them, even though they could have. All other member states somehow didn't have this problem and released their funds, Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz stated in an interview with Piotr Marciniak on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach." - We are racing against time; further payment requests, two at once, meaning we are accelerating, will be submitted right after the holidays, and further KPO funds will arrive by the end of the year, she continued.

19:57

Civil Partnerships with Child Adoption? Pełczyńska-Nałęcz: Poland 2050 is For It, We're Persuading the PSL
- I will tell you where we, Poland 2050-Third Way, stand. We are in favour of civil partnerships, for the so-called "small piecza" [care/guardianship], meaning the adoption of children who are already in the union, because it is good for these children, not adopting children from completely outside, and we have nothing against people entering into civil partnerships with dignity, in a place where they will feel celebratory - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on TVN24. - We are talking with the PSL, persuading them to move forward realistically. We see our role in this way, that having a very clear position here, we simultaneously use our good relations with the PSL to convince them - she continued.

20:25

MPs and Senators": Korneluk Announces Further Requests for Immunity Waivers
- There are a number of proceedings where prosecutors are considering such possibilities. Today, I am unable to say precisely how many proceedings there are… Most certainly, this is not the end when it comes to requests for the waiver of parliamentary immunities, concerning Polish MPs as well as senators – stated National Prosecutor Dariusz Korneluk in an interview with Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz on TVP Info’s „Pytanie dnia” (Question of the Day).

20:33

Korneluk on Kaczyński's Letter to Ziobro: 'Certainly Not a Criminal Complaint'
- I can confirm that this type of document [Jarosław Kaczyński's letter to Zbigniew Ziobro regarding the Fundusz Sprawiedliwości] in its original form was secured during the search at the premises of MP Romanowski - Dariusz Korneluk stated on TVP Info's 'Pytanie dnia' (Question of the Day). - This document will be subject to analysis by the investigative team handling the case. The author of this document has a legal education, and if it were a notification [to the prosecutor's office], it would have taken an appropriate form. For me, as a prosecutor, it is certainly not a criminal complaint addressed to law enforcement agencies - he assessed.

20:36

Schetyna:

Putin is strengthened by Orban's visit

- He has blood on his hands [Vladimir Putin], he is responsible for it, but he is also strengthened, I say this with regret, by the visit of Prime Minister Orban two days ago. He was in Moscow a few days ago, Putin received him, Hungary holds the presidency - stated Grzegorz Schetyna on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

- Certainly, Putin treated this visit as a political and diplomatic success and believes it has strengthened his position - he added.

20:41

Korneluk:

If I had doubts about acting lawfully, I wouldn't have accepted the position of National Prosecutor
- If I were afraid, if I had doubts about acting lawfully, I wouldn't be a prosecutor, and in particular, I wouldn't have accepted the position of National Prosecutor. I expected pressure - said Dariusz Korneluk in "Question of the Day" on TVP Info.

20:49

Korneluk on the operation at the KRS building:

There was no other choice but to open the cabinets with a locksmith.
- Apparently, seven cabinets were opened with the help of a locksmith, and this was solely because when asked where the keys to these cabinets were, the secretariat, as well as the people present there, stated that there were no keys. The prosecutor had no other choice but to open these cabinets with the assistance of a locksmith - said Dariusz Korneluk in "Pytanie dnia" (Question of the Day) on TVP Info. - The activities took place exclusively in the premises used by disciplinary spokespersons and solely for the purpose of securing files that would then be transferred to the spokespersons appointed by the Minister of Justice - he assured.

20:58

Błaszczak on the Document Signed by Tusk and Zelensky:

Without the USA, Such Agreements Hold Little Significance.
- I was the one who arranged for the planes transferred to Ukraine to be replaced by Korean FA-50 aircraft. This year, Poland will receive F-35s, also ordered when I was Minister of National Defence. In the current situation Poland finds itself in, it is not possible to support Ukraine in this manner. Support for Ukraine should be conducted through joint actions of the North Atlantic Alliance. NATO's leader is the United States, and therefore, without the United States, any such agreements – one of which was signed by Prime Minister Tusk and President Zelensky – hold little significance, apart from symbolic value – stated Mariusz Błaszczak on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

20:59

Błaszczak:

Putin Fears Only Americans; We Must Build a Strong Polish Army
- Only together in such a formula of the North Atlantic Alliance, where the United States is the leader, why, because the United States has the strongest army in the world and Putin fears only Americans, and we have to build a strong Polish Army, which is why I am concerned that the Korean contracts have not been finalized – said Mariusz Błaszczak on Polsat News.

21:00

Schetyna on Macron:

He has a chance to build a political center.

- The winner, in my opinion, and I'm speaking in the context of months, of course, because this will take time, will be President Macron. He has a chance to build such a political center. He might not have a majority right away - stated Grzegorz Schetyna on TVN24’s “Kropka nad i”.

21:01

Błaszczak on Ardanowski:

He Realizes That What He's Doing Weakens the United Right, So the Question Is Why He's Doing It.
- Krzysztof Ardanowski is an experienced politician; he realizes that what he's doing weakens the United Right camp, so the question is why he's doing it.
