The Prosecutor's Office is Working and Conducting Investigations. Bodnar Asked About Further Requests Regarding Immunities

- The prosecutor's office is working, the prosecutor's office is conducting investigations. In the case of each of these individuals, various suspicions arise. Let's recall, regarding Mr. Matecki, these are issues indirectly related to the Fund for the Protection of Victims and Post-penitentiary Aid. One of the entities that received subsidies from the fund is the Fidei Defensor association, and this name appears, among others, in the request concerning Mr. Romanowski, stating that the subsidy granted to this association could be considered flawed - stated Adam Bodnar in TOK FM.

- Regarding Mr. Macierewicz, we still have an ongoing case of evidence concealment, meaning he obtained evidence from the Smolensk commission, and after many requests, he did not return it. An investigative proceeding is also underway here. In Mr. Mejza's case, there are all these matters concerning funds for assistance to people with disabilities, but let the prosecutor's office decide whether this will result in requests - he continued.

08:19

Bodnar:

Investigation into the Justice Fund is Developing

– The investigation into the Justice Fund is developing and we will see what conclusions the prosecution reaches. For now, it focuses on matters that are clear, evident, and can be presented in the form of a motion to lift immunity and press charges. Let's note that not only MPs, but also various other individuals face charges in this case, totaling 11 people, however, it is possible that at some stage of the proceedings, the prosecution will conclude that a broader approach is necessary – stated Adam Bodnar on TOK FM.

Bosak on the Abortion Decriminalization Vote:

Criticism of Legislation Drafted on the Fly Prevailed.
"The fact that the Left doesn't have a majority somewhere isn't conservatism at all. The Left's abortion bill was drafted terribly, it was very radical, they weren't able to convince centrist MPs. Criticism of legislation drafted on the fly prevailed. Even within their pro-abortion paradigm, they couldn't draft this bill correctly," Krzysztof Bosak said in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.

Sawicki on Abortion Decriminalization Bill: It Went Further Than the Other 3 Projects in Committee
- Mr. Editor, you are repeating this left-wing lie that it was not a bill [on the decriminalization of assistance in abortion, voted on Friday] for the legalization of abortion. It was a bill that went further than the other 3 projects currently in committee. Because it was abortion on demand up to the 12th week of life, and abortion until the end of pregnancy, which a 'szeptucha' (folk healer/witch doctor) could perform, and if this 'szeptucha' killed the mother and child, she would bear no responsibility. Meanwhile, a doctor is held criminally liable for their medical errors, as well as professionally disciplined. Lawyer Mecenas Giertych literally and precisely exposed this lie - said Marek Sawicki in an interview with Karol Surówka on PR1's "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day).

08:44

Bosak on Braun:

I’m one of the potential candidates in the primaries, so it’s difficult for me to praise my opponents.
- Konfederacja and PiS will have separate candidates for president [...] I can’t imagine any reason why PiS would support a Konfederacja candidate and not put forward their own [...] I also see no reason [for Konfederacja to support a PiS candidate] - said Krzysztof Bosak on RMF FM. - I have no idea [if Grzegorz Braun will run in the presidential primaries in Konfederacja], that’s his decision. [...] It’s no secret that I am one of the potential candidates in the Konfederacja primaries, which we want to hold and announce, so it’s difficult for me to praise my opponents. [...] Competition means competing, not praising the competition. So I won’t praise them, nor do I want to criticize them, because we jointly lead Konfederacja, so I believe coalition loyalty obliges - he continued.

08:51

Bosak on Part of Konfederacja MEPs Joining the AfD Faction:

I'm Not Very Pleased, a Better Choice Could Have Been Made.
- I'm not particularly pleased with this fact. [...] I believe a better choice could have been made, contrary to what they think. I believe the other two right-wing factions, those that are, let's call them, critical of the European Union, namely the new group Patriots for Europe, being formed from the transformation of the earlier Identity and Democracy group, would have been a better option, is a better option, and I also think the European Conservatives and Reformers group would have been a better option - Krzysztof Bosak told RMF FM, when asked about the decision of some Konfederacja MPs to join a faction in the European Parliament which includes the AfD. - We are not afraid to remain independent. I believe it is no shame to remain independent in a place like the European Parliament - he continued.

08:55

Bodnar:

Various Dark Clouds are Gathering Around President Manowska

- The situation with President Manowska is completely different, because the question arises as to what position is being discussed, whether it's a judge or the First President of the Supreme Court. I think various dark clouds are gathering around President Manowska, related to the filing of notifications about suspected criminal offenses in connection with her obstructing the work of the State Tribunal - stated Adam Bodnar on TOK FM.

08:55

Sawicki:

I'm Astonished by the Level of Smear Campaign and Hate Directed at Me Since Thursday
- I'm astonished by the level of smear campaign and hate that has been directed at me since Thursday, Friday, along with lies that are also being propagated by various publications and media. Yesterday on Onet, I learned that in the last vote, I voted against revoking Mr. Romanowski's immunity, and there were 11 votes, and in every vote, I voted "for". So I ask, why these lies? - Marek Sawicki said on "Sygnały dnia" PR1. - Perhaps also because at the moment I am very strongly conducting a campaign for decentralized agricultural biogas plants, where farms involved in animal production can earn from the production of biogas, biomethane, and not large, international corporations. This is a massive attack related precisely to decentralized energy, which I am a huge proponent of - he continued.

09:01

Bosak:

Tusk knows few will verify his words and give Szatkowski a voice
- [Donald Tusk] repeated some kind of slander or accusation [against Szatkowski] from some SKW materials, and in reality, we don't know the status of these materials [...] in my interpretation, he said there was nothing. He didn't make any specific, firm statement that would have legal consequences. I would like to point out that Platforma has been in power for 7 or 8 months, and throughout this entire time, they haven't even provided the ambassador with credentials and appropriate access to classified information, which shows that they themselves treated the accusations they are using in the media as irrelevant – Krzysztof Bosak said on RMF FM. - In my opinion, they think it is irrelevant to Polish security, that it is simply throwing some scraps to the media, some bone for journalists to gnaw on. With all due respect, this is the greatest gesture of contempt towards the state, towards journalists, that Tusk is doing something like this, yes, because he knows that everyone will be concerned with it, he knows that few will verify his words, that few will subject it to detailed analysis, that few will invite the accused person, in this case, former ambassador Tomasz Szatkowski, to give him a voice – he continued. - I think the Prime Minister will probably answer for this someday, but before that happens, of course, everyone will forget about the matter – he went on to say.

09:02

Sawicki:

Thankfully, the PSL is in Parliament, where worldview issues aren't enshrined in the statute or program
- Thankfully, the Polish Parliament has the PSL, where worldview, religious, and denominational issues are not included in either its statute or program. We have complete freedom and discretion in voting. You'll be surprised, I have very good relations with these female MPs [from the PSL who voted for the abortion decriminalization bill] - Marek Sawicki stated in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

09:05

"The Polish Right Should Bet on Trump": Jaki on the US Elections

- First and foremost, [the attack on Trump] tells us that this is just one of many acts of violence that have been directed at him. Anyone who watches and is interested in American politics knows that the witch hunt that has been employed, the media violence, the institutional violence against Donald Trump have exceeded anything we have seen so far in the democratic world; practically, there is no crime of which Donald Trump has not been accused – stated Patryk Jaki in the program "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- [The Polish Right] should, in my opinion, bet [on Trump] because it is evident which way the Left in Europe is going, meaning in a similar direction, that is, towards full ideological radicalization; it is clear what they are preoccupied with – he added.

09:06

Jaki on the Romanowski Case:

They’re Doing Everything Haphazardly.

- After this [Romanowski] case, it’s evident that it’s simply a politically staged matter, but as I say, in the end, that’s how it is. You are asking about the difference, and the difference is also fundamental. Specifically, in our time, when we wanted to do something, we would change the law. Indeed, there was a president who came from our camp, and we went through the entire complicated process. I was the head of the investigative committee that dealt with reprivatization; I simply had to change the law 17 times to get anything done there, even though the thievery was obvious, everyone could see it, and we had to go through the entire complicated legislative process, etc. Meanwhile, they are doing everything haphazardly here, with a resolution that is not a source of law – said Patryk Jaki on Polsat News.

- This situation is absolutely exceptional, and it should be exceptional, when one tries to arrest a member of the opposition, hard evidence must be presented, all possible circumstances must truly be clarified, whereas in this case, that is not happening – he continued.

09:06

Jaki:

Korneluk is an illegal Attorney General, heading an organized criminal group

- We must remember that if we want to hold anyone accountable for crimes, and I want to strongly emphasize this, it is extremely important for any process to be legal in the first place. The body submitting such a request must be the proper, legitimate body. And let us recall that the prosecutor's office has been seized by force at the moment, without any legal basis – stated Patryk Jaki on Polsat News.

- It is obvious that he [Korneluk] is illegal. He is heading an organized criminal group that forcibly entered the prosecutor's office and is now masquerading as the Attorney General – he added.

09:16

Sawicki:

The Life of a Thug Sent by Putin to the Border is More Important to Our Leftist Colleagues Than the Life of an Unborn Child
- You don't notice, and neither do our colleagues from the Left, that on the same day [Friday] we voted on a law to improve the safety and conditions of service for the army, police, and Border Guard. This concerns the use of weapons - said Marek Sawicki in 'Sygnały dnia' on PR1. - Regarding abortion, we only had a non-governmental, leftist bill. Regarding the safety of soldiers, we had a government bill. And on this government bill, a significant part of the Left club voted against it, including two female ministers from Donald Tusk's government who did not vote in favour of this bill. Will Donald Tusk, drawing consequences for MPs regarding abortion, also draw consequences for the ministers in his government who did not vote for the government bill? - he asked. - For me, the life of a soldier is as important as the life of a woman and child. And here we have a situation where the life of a thug sent by Lukashenko, by Putin to the border, who killed a Polish soldier with a knife, is more important to our leftist colleagues than the life of an unborn child - he emphasized.

09:27

Sawicki:

Tusk Won't Expel Giertych from the Club, as He's Needed for the Artificially Inflated POPiS War
- For now, [Roman Giertych] is not knocking on [PSL's] door. The question is, why? After all, Donald Tusk will not expel Roman Giertych from his club, because he is very much needed for the dualization of the political scene, for this artificially inflated POPiS war, and not for solving problems - said Marek Sawicki on "Signals of the Day" PR1.

09:51

Sawicki:

I Disagree with Replacing Delayed Contraception with Early Abortion
- We have our own bill that reinstates the abortion compromise, and although I am a conservative, I agree with this compromise. I am for universal contraception, I am for universal sex education, I am for a situation where, if doctors determine that the fetus endangers the mother's life and health, or vice versa – that the fetus is endangered, then abortion should also be possible - Marek Sawicki said in 'Sygnały dnia' on PR1. - I am for terminating a pregnancy resulting from rape. But I do not agree with replacing delayed contraception with early abortion, because that is what it essentially boils down to. A civilization that kills its children will sooner or later collapse, it is doomed to destruction, so let the Left not go down that path - he continued.

11:03

Lubnauer on the abortion vote:

Giertych deceived us all
- Giertych, I think, deceived us all. I will remind you of his statements that he would adhere to party discipline if there was discipline – there was discipline. I will recall the statements of his daughters and wife, I believe, that they would monitor him on voting matters. If he did not vote at this moment, despite being present [at the session] – and he was definitely present, because he was sitting in front of me – then in that case, he deceived us,” Katarzyna Lubnauer said in an interview with Aleksandra Pawlicka on TVP Info’s “Gość poranka”. - I didn't have many illusions, in the sense that when Giertych found himself on our lists and someone asked me about it, about the vote in Świętokrzyskie, I always said: I propose voting for Okła-Drewnowicz, the list leader. I am certain about how she will always behave,” she continued. - I have always maintained that he should be kept away from education, because we are currently fixing some of the things he introduced back then – for example, we are introducing that the grade in religion will not be counted towards the average. Starting from the 2024/25 academic year, the grade in religion will no longer, for example, determine eligibility for a certificate with a red and white stripe,” she announced.

11:38

Czarzasty:

We Will Cut Off All Funding for Rydzyk's Empire
- I think that Rydzyk will see one thing in the near future: we will cut off all unjustified and all funding for his empire. [...] An interpellation has been filed on this matter to all ministries. According to us, the clergy, I am not talking about the Church, the clergy receives 8 billion zlotys annually. I want to say that the first thing we will want to do [...] is to cut off the money that is given to the clergy under the table, beside the table, over the table by State Treasury companies, by all ministries in a completely unjustified way - Włodzimierz Czarzasty said at a press conference.

11:41

Czarzasty:

We Will Always Fight Hard for Our Issues, But the Coalition's Durability is the Limit
- We differ on many issues within this coalition, but there is a limit to these differences. That limit is the coalition's durability. We will always fight for our issues, we will fight hard, but the limit of this fight, I believe, is the coalition's durability - Włodzimierz Czarzasty said at a press conference.

11:47

Czarzasty on the Decriminalization of Abortion and Further Moves on the Matter:

The Left Passed the Exam with an A+
- The Left passed the exam with an A+ on this matter [decriminalization of abortion]. Everyone was present, everyone defended women's rights, everyone supported the bill that entered the Sejm, and the rapporteur for this bill was Anna Maria Żukowska, our club's leader. I am not satisfied with what the Third Way showed, but people see it. I am not satisfied with what happened with Mr. Giertych as a representative of Civic Coalition, but people see it - Włodzimierz Czarzasty said at a press conference. - The Left will consistently submit this project until a positive outcome. This time we were only 4 votes short - he continued. - As far as I know [...] the project will be submitted today [project]. Is it the same [bill], yes, the same - he continued.

11:48

Czarzasty:

Why bother changing the president if the political class hasn't matured enough to change laws for women's rights?
- I want to clearly state something that some of our friends in the ruling coalition might not like. I appeal to everyone: you know who to vote for, and what we are asking for, including on the issue of women's rights. Because why on earth should we change the president if the political class, the democratic class, has not matured enough to democratically change the law for women's rights? It's simply illogical. I am directing my words to Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, whose views I respect [...] as well as to all others who, for various reasons, have avoided speaking clearly on this matter - Włodzimierz Czarzasty said at a press conference.

11:49

Błaszczak on the Situation at the Ministry of National Defence:

Inertia, Lack of Skill to Move Things Forward.

- Unfortunately, we have practically already lost, or are losing, the chance to realistically strengthen the Polish army, to build a strong Polish army, so as to deter an aggressor. The current coalition's policy is focused on the idea that someone else should defend us, that our allies should defend the Republic of Poland, and historical experience shows that one should rely on oneself, because if we rely on other countries, we may be very deeply disappointed – stated Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

- What is happening today at the Ministry of National Defence can be described as inertia, a lack of skill to move things forward; these are precisely the characteristics that distinguish those who govern Poland today – he added.

11:50

Błaszczak on Klich's Appointment as Head of Diplomatic Mission in the USA:

This Action is Detrimental to Polish Interests.
One must not allow concepts of rivalry between alliances, primarily the transatlantic alliance and the EU alliance, the EU. This is a dead-end path; we need to focus on building relations with the United States, we need to use American models, we need to benefit from that model, not focus on the EU's strategic autonomy, because that is a dead-end path. Therefore, the ambassador in the United States should be a politician, or ideally a diplomat, but if not a diplomat, then certainly not a politician like Bogdan Klich, who publicly attacked Donald Trump, criticized Donald Trump. Such an action is undoubtedly an action detrimental to Polish interests – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

11:52

Czarzasty Responds to Sawicki:

Go on holiday, rest a bit.
- Marek, I'm telling Marek Sawicki: go on holiday, rest a bit. That's my request. Gain some perspective on life, find some smiles. People are smiling, people are good to each other. And they are wise too - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference, when asked about Marek Sawicki's words that 'the life of a bandit sent by Lukashenka, Putin to the border [...] is more important to our female colleagues from Lewica than the life of an unborn child'.

14:10

Jaki:

Bodnar Carries Out Unprecedented Attack on Judicial Independence

- A politician from the ruling coalition, Adam Bodnar, is currently carrying out an unprecedented attack on judicial independence. He regularly suspends judges he dislikes. This means that more than 100 judges in Poland have already been suspended because the politician doesn't like them. It is difficult to imagine a similar situation in a state that wants to belong to the circle of Western civilization, where the rule of law is taken seriously – stated Patryk Jaki at a press briefing.

- At this moment, another attack on the leadership of courts, all courts in Warsaw, in the Warsaw district, is underway. And Bodnar's politician suspends judges every time. Of course, one can suspend the leadership of a court, but there is a very precise doctrine in this regard that indicates there must be very serious reasons to suspend a judge – he continued.

14:25

Sejm Chancellery: Documents Regarding Romanowski's Immunity Delivered to Prosecutor's Office
- Resolutions concerning MP Marcin Romanowski - 11 resolutions concerning criminal liability (for individual acts contained in the motion to consent to prosecution) and 1 resolution granting consent for detention and temporary arrest – were delivered by the Sejm Chancellery's delivery services to the National Public Prosecutor's Office on July 15, 2024, around 10:00 AM - the Media Service Bureau stated in a communication. The Director General of the Marshal's Office of the Sejm also commented on the matter. - The Sejm Chancellery received today's media reports with some surprise, because the Sejm Chancellery was ready to deliver these documents to the prosecutor's office on Friday, but the postponement of this deadline occurred at the express request of prosecutor Marzena Kowalska, from Investigative Team No. 2 of the National Public Prosecutor's Office, who, in a conversation with a representative of the Sejm Chancellery's management, expressed the prosecutor's office's preference for these documents to be delivered today, Monday morning. This is what happened - said Stanisław Zakroczymski at a press conference in the Sejm.

14:31

At the Command of the National Prosecutor's Office: ABW Detains Romanowski

- The ABW (Internal Security Agency) is currently detaining Marcin Romanowski, a Member of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, at the behest of the National Prosecutor's Office - informed attorney Bartosz Lewandowski on Twitter.

15:43

Sikorski Skeptical About Using ABW to Detain Romanowski:

A Summons to the Police Station is Enough to Apprehend a Fraudster.
I am pleased that the reckoning for theft is gaining momentum, but personally, I believe that in these wartime times, the ABW needs all its resources to pursue agents, and a summons to the police station is enough to apprehend a fraudster - Radosław Sikorski wrote on Twitter.

16:06

Śliwka on Videos of Young People Insulting Soldiers:

We Expect Action from Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz.
- Today, in the media space [...] recordings appeared showing a group of people who, in a manner outrageous to any standards, any behaviour, attacked Polish officers, Polish soldiers. We, together with Minister Kanthak, would like to appeal and learn the details, specific details from the Polish government, about what actions have been taken, both by the Minister of National Defence and by the Ministry of Justice, because on these videos, a group of youngsters, a group of people, is seen scandalously attacking Polish soldiers, insulting them - said Andrzej Śliwka at a press conference. - We expect action from Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz. This happened two days ago, and today only an enigmatic statement appeared on the Ministry of National Defence website, nothing more, no actions have been taken. Mr. Kosiniak-Kamysz has buried his head in the sand, as is his habit. Minister Tomczyk, who is like a super-minister in this department [...] when a situation arises where he is expected to provide specific information, he also digs himself in somewhere and does not comment on these events - he continued.

16:17

Spitting on Uniforms, Insulting Gestures, and Profanity. Ministry of National Defence Issues Statement on "Attack on Polish Soldiers"
- On the night of July 13-14, 2024, soldiers serving at the border were attacked by a group of approximately 20 individuals. This included violations of the physical integrity of the soldiers through spitting on their uniforms, as well as making offensive gestures and directing vulgar slogans. The Border Guard, Military Police, and regular Police, who are conducting investigative proceedings, were immediately informed of the incident. All aspects are currently being clarified by the services. So far, 17 people have been questioned - the Ministry of National Defence wrote in a statement.

16:42

National Prosecutor's Office Spokesperson: Romanowski to be brought to the prosecutor's office for questioning
- On Friday, the Sejm granted consent for the prosecution of MP Romanowski, for his detention, as well as for pre-trial detention. The documentation confirming this consent was received by the prosecutor's office today. Immediately after receiving it, the prosecutor signed an order, both for pressing charges and for the detention and apprehension of Mr. Marcin Romanowski to the prosecutor's office. Today, around 2 PM, this order was executed, and MP Marcin Romanowski was detained. He will also be brought to the prosecutor's office today for questioning as a suspect, stated Przemysław Nowak, spokesperson for the National Prosecutor's Office, at a press conference.

16:46

National Public Prosecutor's Office Spokesperson on Romanowski:

Likely Today We Will Present 11 Charges.
- We plan today, if nothing extraordinary happens, for the prosecutor to present these 11 charges to the MP today. The procedure here is as follows: we could only sign these charges after obtaining consent from the Sejm. This consent had to be confirmed by documentation. This happened today, the prosecutor drew up this decision today. Today, he also drew up the decision to detain and must physically transport the suspect, the person suspected, here for the announcement of these charges. Then he will present them to him, question him as a suspect, and decide on a possible motion for pre-trial detention – said Przemysław Nowak, spokesperson for the National Public Prosecutor's Office, at a press conference. - If he does not plead guilty and makes explanations, questioning various formal or natural-legal issues – he has the right to do so. He is not the first suspect who does not plead guilty and makes explanations questioning his responsibility, he has the right to do so. However, we believe, the prosecutor believes, that the evidence gathered during the 3-month proceedings sufficiently justified the suspicion that the MP has indeed committed at least these 11 offenses. This includes actions within an organized crime group, as well as other offenses related to the activities of the Justice Fund, consisting, among others, in the non-fulfillment of duties, rigging competitions, exceeding authority, certifying falsehoods in documentation, and finally, causing financial damage on behalf of the State Treasury – he continued.

17:06

Romanowski Detained Despite European Immunity. A Blow to Bodnar

- M. Romanowski was detained despite being a member of the delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe – therefore, he is entitled to European immunity, the pursuit of which was not even processed – Patryk Jaki wrote on Twitter.

17:25

Kosiniak Writes to Bodnar:

No Tolerance for Insults, Slander, or Any Attacks on Soldiers.

- There is no tolerance for insults, slander, or any attacks on soldiers who defend Poland's borders and ensure the security of the Homeland. The services reacted decisively and swiftly to the scandalous behavior of a group of individuals towards soldiers and officers at the border with Belarus. I have also addressed a letter to the Minister of Justice requesting special supervision over this matter - wrote Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on Twitter.

18:51

Pomaska Responds to Accusations: Romanowski Does Not Possess 'Second Immunity'
- Members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe do not possess 'second immunity'. The protection of MPs applies to participation in the Assembly's deliberations in Strasbourg or Committees in Paris. Currently, neither of these bodies is in session. A detention court is there to resolve doubts - Agnieszka Pomaska wrote on social media.

Tusk Introduces So-Called New Standards by Detaining MPs, Mastalerek on Romanowski
It is impossible not to notice that Prime Minister Tusk is introducing so-called new standards by detaining MPs, effectively making the witch hunt against PiS and the attempt to annihilate PiS his electoral program. In Prime Minister Tusk's place, however, I would remember what President Duda said during the first Sejm session – that one is not always in power and in opposition, that roles can reverse in three years, and that today's so-called new standards, introduced by Prime Minister Tusk, could turn against Tusk and his people – stated Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News.

19:43

Mastalerek:

Tusk is Trying to Annihilate PiS

- I'm talking about a certain phenomenon, the fact that Prime Minister Tusk is trying to annihilate PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński's party, is obvious. No one in Civic Platform denies it. I believe this is a complete destruction of PiS, we hear about a probable attempt to withdraw budget funding from the opposition - stated Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News.

19:46

Mastalerek:

Tusk Lost a Vote on One of the Most Important Issues He Spoke About

- Prime Minister Tusk lost a vote on Friday on one of the most important issues he spoke about, and it was precisely covering this up. Someone decided that the abortion issue, it was an obvious certainty that there is no majority in this Sejm for the abortion issue, that PSL will not support it, was purely coincidental - stated Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News.

19:49

Mastalerek Quotes Trump:

Anything Can Happen.

- I remember what President Trump said to President Duda when we were saying goodbye at Trump Tower, it was in April. President Duda asked about the elections, what Trump's predictions were, how he saw it all, how he felt about it. Trump smiled and said: gentlemen, you know well that 6 months in politics is an eternity, anything can happen. And he repeated it - anything can happen - stated Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News.

19:55

"It Does Not Hinder Detention." National Prosecutor’s Office Spokesman on Romanowski’s "Second Immunity"
- In connection with the emerging information about the alleged immunity of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, which immunity would supposedly stand in the way of carrying out these actions - this immunity primarily concerns offenses related to the performance of the mandate of a member of the Parliamentary Assembly - said Prosecutor Przemysław Nowak, spokesperson for the National Prosecutor’s Office, at a press conference. - In this case, the charges that the prosecutor is presenting to the MP - which, as we all know, concern activities within the Ministry of Justice and the Justice Fund - do not obviously relate to his mandate as a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, and this immunity in no way hinders detention, the presentation of charges, or a possible motion for the application of pre-trial detention - he stated.

20:30

Kidawa-Błońska on Romanowski's Stance:

He Should Have Renounced His Immunity, Testified. Now This is an Act of Desperation.
- It was necessary [the handcuffing], these are the rules for detentions prepared by the Law and Justice government, Minister Ziobro created procedures for how detentions should look, what restrictions detainees should be subject to - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in an interview with Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz on TVP Info's "Question of the Day". - We are in a state of law, the prosecutor's office did not yet have the documents [when Romanowski reported to the prosecutor's office himself] that should have come from the Sejm. When these documents arrived and the matter became clear, prosecutors appeared to make the arrest. Of course, if the Deputy Minister wanted to resolve the matter earlier [...] if he felt innocent, he should have renounced his immunity, testified, and explained the situation. And now this is simply an act of desperation, of terror - she continued.

20:36

Kidawa-Błońska on the Stance of Giertych and Others:

I Believe Colleagues Should Feel the Club Needs to Be Taken Seriously.
- Respect for colleagues in the club requires us to say when we will not be present for a vote, when we are leaving, as it concerned one of my colleagues, and also Mr. Attorney [Giertych], who said, "No, I will not participate in this vote." We should respect each other and speak up, warn each other - Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska told TVP Info. - I am in favor of colleagues feeling for some time that the club, and the women and men within it, should be taken seriously [...]. One could say from the outset that they will never vote with the club, that they will always have a separate opinion - she continued.

20:40

Kidawa-Błońska on the condition for the abortion decriminalization bill:

It cannot be put to a vote again.
- We were supposed to do it [liberalize abortion regulations], we promised, and we must do it, so we will have to repeat these actions and continue to build a coalition to get those few extra votes participating in the vote. [...] As long as there is no certainty that this bill will gain a majority, it cannot be put to a vote again – said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska on TVP Info.

20:48

Kidawa-Błońska Questions the Lack of Voting Discipline Among PSL MPs:

I Think They Had a Different Opinion.
- Yes, [...] I have always heard that the Polish People's Party (PSL) lacks voting discipline and that they vote according to their own conscience. I am not convinced that this vote was in accordance with their own conscience. [...] I know many of these MPs, and I think it wasn't that they had a different opinion - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska on TVP Info, when asked if she was disappointed with the PSL's stance in the vote on the decriminalization of abortion.

Sikorski:

During Every Trip to the US, I Make Sure to Meet with Trump's People Too
- Poland wants to have good relations regardless of who will be the President of the United States. As in other democracies, we meet with both the current administration and the alternative administration. During every trip, I make sure to meet with Trump's people as well, and this time was no different - said Radosław Sikorski in an interview with Marek Czyż on TVP Info's program “Bez retuszu” (Unretouched). - I must not give the impression that I favor anyone. Because we will not repeat the mistake of the previous Polish government, which bet all its chips on Trump, who lost. That's the first point [we won't hesitate to congratulate Trump in case of his victory], but secondly, we also won't say that the second round will be decided in the courts, and the third on the streets, because such very unwise statements were also made - he continued.

Sikorski:

Since Taking Office, I Haven't Had a Single Presidential Signature on Any Nomination – Not Even One Agreed Upon Previously with the Prime Minister
- Since taking office, I haven't had a single signature from the President on any nomination. Not even on the one that was once agreed upon with Prime Minister Tusk, namely our Permanent Representative to Brussels, at the European Union - stated Radosław Sikorski on the TVP Info program “Bez retuszu” (Unretouched).

Klich to Take Up Post in the US. Perhaps the Next President Will Be Kinder to Him
- This is a purely protocol matter. In functional terms, what a permanent representative or chargé d'affaires does differs in no way from what an ambassador does. He will take up the post [Bogdan Klich in Washington], and perhaps the next president will be kinder to him - said Radosław Sikorski on the TVP Info program "Bez retuszu".

Trump's Team Likes Poland. Sikorski Points to the Reasons
