Head of KPRM Attempts Media Pressure on National Electoral Commission. Müller on PiS Subsidy

- I see that the Head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister is currently trying to exert media pressure on the National Electoral Commission, because the things you are pointing to in these documents have been shown for many months. This is nothing new, gathered once again, dressed up as a news item, and shown again for the National Electoral Commission - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti" program.

08:02

Müller:

I hope the National Electoral Commission does not make a decision that effectively limits political competition

- I am counting on the National Electoral Commission not making a decision that would de facto limit the possibilities of political competition in Poland, because taking away subsidies from a functioning political party that received the most votes in last year's elections is like tying the hands of a 100-meter runner and telling them they have the same opportunities as a runner who can run normally - stated Piotr Müller on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

08:03

Kierwiński:

I Expect Kamiński's and Wąsik's Immunities to be Lifted in September
- I am convinced [that the European Parliament will lift the immunities of Maciej Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński]. This procedure in the EP is going very well, very quickly. I think that in September these immunities will be lifted because the matter is also obvious and clear - said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Radomir Wit on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

08:04

Müller:

Will Grabiec Resign Today Over CIR's Campaign?

- Today, I could level such an accusation against the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM), headed by Mr. Grabiec, which conducted an online campaign promoting the 'grandmother allowance' on KPRM's social media channels during the European Parliament election campaign. Will Mr. Grabiec resign today because CIR conducted such a campaign at that time? - stated Piotr Müller on Polsat News's "Graffiti" program.

08:07

Müller on Hiring Additional People for the Campaign:

It Turned Out to Be Untrue, Nobody is Verifying It.

- At the beginning of this term, of this government, there was a statement that perhaps 100 or 200 additional people were hired at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, allegedly at one time, for the election campaign, which turned out to be untrue. Of course, nobody is verifying this now, nobody is saying sorry that it was untrue; the media reported it because a politician said it. I don’t have such a strong accusation against the media, although it’s always better to verify – stated Piotr Müller in “Graffiti” Polsat News.

08:08

Nitras on Sawicki:

He Enjoys Sticking a Spoke in the Coalition's Wheel.
- It seems to me that this discussion between our left and right-wing coalition partners is sometimes getting out of hand. I think Mr. former minister, MP Sawicki, excels in these contests. He enjoys this kind of sticking, inserting a spoke into the coalition's wheel – said Sławomir Nitras on "Poranek TOK FM," when asked about Marek Sawicki's demand for the resignation of Katarzyna Kotula and Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk for not voting for the government's bill. - I would not have voted [against the government bill] [...] if I am a member of the Council of Ministers and the Council of Ministers makes a decision, then I have other obligations; an MP has more leeway, a member of the Council of Ministers has less leeway – he continued.

08:11

Müller on Potential Withdrawal of PiS Subsidies:

Our Voters Will React Unequivocally.

- In such a situation [of PiS subsidies being withdrawn], I am convinced that our voters will react unequivocally, critically, also supporting our activities, but I hope it doesn't come to that, because it will generate such political tensions in Poland - stated Piotr Müller on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- I think it won't be necessary to take people to the streets, but over time, simply, the agitation and social tension will be so high that the government will simply feel it. In my opinion, it already feels it in many places, considering broken promises, such as gasoline for PLN 5.19 - he continued.

08:13

Müller on Szydło's Tweet:

I Don't See It That Way.

- No, I don't see it that way, because the provincial board, I checked who made such a decision, made that decision and not only in this matter, but I understand it as some kind of internal party reorganization, the provincial party board. That's what the provincial party board is for, to discuss such matters, to talk about such things. I don't know if Prime Minister Szydło participated in the provincial board meeting - stated Piotr Müller in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

08:14

Kierwiński:

Kamiński and Wąsik Wanted to Pretend to be MPs. They Should Be Punished for That
- If the gentlemen [Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik] were convicted by a final court ruling, they knew about it, they were informed, they knew they were banned from holding public office, they should not have appeared in the Sejm. Meanwhile, they were staging demonstrations. Please recall those Sejm sessions, those famous gestures Kamiński made, how they went to committees. And finally, the visit to the Presidential Palace to escape justice - said Marcin Kierwiński on TVN24's "One on One". - For me, the matter is clear: they knew they couldn't be MPs, and they wanted to pretend to be MPs. And for that, they should be punished - he emphasized.

08:14

Nitras:

It's a great responsibility to secure the border without losing our humanity
- Let's find some common sense in this. We should defend our borders, and at the same time, if someone has found themselves on Polish territory, even if they did so illegally, we guarantee them certain rights according to international law - said Sławomir Nitras on TOK FM. - There is no country in the world that can afford not to control its borders. [...] We cannot show helplessness. [...] It is a great responsibility for us to be able to secure the country, secure the border, and at the same time not become uncivilized (or lose our humanity) - he continued.

08:17

Müller on the presidential candidate:

The person who opens PiS to the center.

- There are no such [ideal] candidates. I can only say that it certainly must be a person who, in my opinion, opens PiS to the center. That is, a person who would, as it were, ensure that our electorate votes for us, so as not to demobilize our electorate, but must be opening to the center, so as not to annoy the PO electorate, etc. - stated Piotr Müller in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

08:23

I Have More Trust in Minister Nowacka; I'd Prefer MEN Officials to Create Reading Lists," Nitras Skeptical of Kosiniak-Kamysz’s Proposal
- I have more trust in Minister Nowacka, I would prefer for officials of the Ministry of National Education, led by Minister Nowacka, to create reading lists. Let everyone deal with what they are appointed to do – Sławomir Nitras said in TOK FM, when asked about Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz’s proposals regarding patriotic education and school reading lists that would be enshrined in law. - I think we need to distinguish between the role of Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz as Minister of National Defence and as a party leader. I think this was rather a postulate from a party leader who has some remarks, but this is not that project, because we will not be establishing reading lists through coalition agreements. There is the Council of Ministers, there are the constitutional competencies of ministers – he continued. - Everyone can sometimes get carried away; I don't think this was the happiest initiative – he added.

08:23

Kierwiński on Kamiński and Wąsik: I have no desire to talk to people convicted by a court
- I've crossed paths with Mr. Kamiński a few times [in the EP], and I think once with Mr. Wąsik. Please be serious, I have no desire to talk to people who have been convicted by a Polish court. They probably also harbor deep hatred towards me, and I'm not surprised at all. They felt completely impunity. They thought that by visiting President Duda at the Presidential Palace, they could laugh at the Polish state, mock Poles, and show that they were omnipotent. But they weren't - said Marcin Kierwiński in TVN24's "Jeden na jeden".

08:29

Nitras:

We are the main players in the EU; without Tusk, the political arrangement being built would not have come about
- We are the main players in the European Union today. Without Donald Tusk, the entire political arrangement that is currently being built would not have come about. European newspapers are writing that he is the main architect of this agreement - Sławomir Nitras said on TOK FM. - There were those, Mr. Jaki, Mr. Brudziński [...] who said there would be no coalition, that the pro-European majority would not have a majority. And we have a stable majority. So, this is a huge success. We have the KPO [Recovery and Resilience Facility], we have a stable political situation, or a more stable political situation in Europe. This is something we can build on - he continued.

08:33

Kierwiński:

We Witnessed the Embarrassing Behavior Not of the President of Poland, but Rather of Little Andrzej from Kindergarten
- Embarrassing behavior of the president. It is said that the president took offense at the police officers and therefore did not attend the [Police Day] ceremony, thus punishing 100,000 people who defend our security with a lack of such official attention - said Marcin Kierwiński in the program "Jeden na jeden" on TVN24. - Embarrassing behavior not of the President of Poland, but rather of little Andrzej from kindergarten, from the 'dwarfs' group, who stands in the corner, stomps his feet, and says: 'I am offended' - he emphasized. - There is one comforting thing in this. Because if you look at this sequence, President Duda said that he would not and would not sign general promotions, and then, under the influence of public opinion and how badly people assessed this embarrassing behavior, the president signed general nominations for three people on the evening of Police Day. [...] Such an attempt at obstruction on the part of the president is completely incomprehensible and childish - he continued.

08:54

Kierwiński on PiS subsidy:

I will be disappointed and surprised if the National Electoral Commission doesn't react firmly.
- I don't like these kinds of statements [like Ryszard Kalisz's] because the documents on this matter are very, very strong. The National Electoral Commission (PKW) should remember how it punished Nowoczesna for making a transfer from the wrong account; it punished them with arguably the strongest sanction, which was the withdrawal of subsidies. I propose that the PKW recall how it punished the PSL when there was also a very technical issue: a transfer not to the correct account - said Marcin Kierwiński in the TVN24 program “Jeden na jeden”. - Here, the matters seem much more serious. We are dealing with the fictitious employment of people in the Prime Minister's Chancellery, and these people, instead of performing their work, traveled and conducted an election campaign. We are dealing with the Justice Fund, [...] we are dealing with Mr. Bortniczuk's case [...], a public company reserved billboards which, by strange coincidence, were later used in the election campaign - he continued. - For me, the matter is clear, and I will be very disappointed and surprised if the PKW does not react firmly to this violation of electoral law - he concluded.

09:12

Polish Democracy Needs Legal Certainty; Everything Else is a Consequence," Berek on Expectations for the National Electoral Commission’s Decision

- If the National Electoral Commission (PKW) says something was unacceptable, then the second point should be the PKW indicating how to change those regulations. There are specialists in electoral law there; the government shouldn't be dealing with it. Let the PKW present its proposals to the Sejm; there's no doubt the Marshal of the Sejm and the relevant committees will gladly consider them. This is probably how the regulations need to be adapted to the imagination, to the creativity of people who want to circumvent them, but let's start by saying it was inconsistent with the rules, including today. If we don't say that, it means everything is permissible – Maciej Berek said on TOK FM.

- Polish democracy will benefit if the electoral rules are clearly defined and enforced. That's what we need right now: certainty about what is allowed and what is not. Everything else is a consequence of these decisions – he added.

09:13

Berek:

When I Read the Letter from the National Electoral Commission, I Thought Someone Was Detached from Reality

- If I didn't know that actually half of the Council of Ministers had sent letters to the National Electoral Commission, which we are not obligated to do. There is no regulation stating that the Council of Ministers has to inform the National Electoral Commission about irregularities; that is the task of the National Electoral Commission. However, of course, if the findings of audits that were conducted, controls that were conducted, showed irregularities, then this was passed on to the National Electoral Commission. And after weeks of passing on hundreds of pages of documents, these are hundreds of pages of documents that the National Electoral Commission possesses. It's not a single letter; we receive a letter from the chairman of the National Electoral Commission to the Prime Minister: "Mr. Prime Minister, were there actually any electoral crimes or not?". When I read that letter, I thought someone was detached from reality – stated Maciej Berek on TOK FM.

- 2014, local government elections, where the IT system did not work. We waited almost two weeks for the election results; there was a huge political scandal, suspicions of election fraud. I remember those images, when the National Electoral Commission came out and said: "it's not us, we are not dealing with it, we are behaving as always, we are making public what we have received". The editor probably remembers the rather unpleasant label that stuck to the National Electoral Commission back then. I have a slight feeling that we are heading towards the same danger. Citizens expect every state organ to act; the scale of this action today is certainly non-standard, it certainly needs to be approached differently – he continued.

09:32

Ombudsman Requests Explanations from TVP General Director Regarding Babiarz's Suspension
In connection with the suspension of journalist Przemysław Babiarz following his commentary during the broadcast of the opening of the Paris Olympic Games, the Commissioner for Human Rights (RPO) is requesting explanations from the General Director of TVP S.A. in liquidation, Tomasz Sygut - the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights informed in a statement. "In the context of this event, the RPO draws attention to the freedom of journalistic expression, which is subject to special protection under Article 54 of the Polish Constitution and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Public broadcasters are obliged to respect it particularly, and should ensure the possibility for journalists to express themselves freely and foster a diversity of views. Interference with the freedom of journalistic expression – through the application of disciplinary responsibility – is therefore possible when its boundaries have been clearly exceeded, for instance, through statements violating public order, the good name of others, containing hate speech, or inciting violence. When assessing a journalist's statement, it is necessary to consider its context. Different criteria apply to written statements compared to 'live' commentary. Furthermore, any sanctions applied to a journalist should be proportionate, and the measure of suspension from official duties is one of the most severe. Excessive actions, going beyond the framework of proportionality, also carry the risk of creating a chilling effect on other journalists working in public media.

Duda:

There is no price too high to pay for the homeland's independence

- There is no price too high to pay for a free, sovereign, independent homeland. Why have they fallen silent? Why can't we hear those voices anymore? Sometimes even mocking ones, which hurt so much for long years. Because over the past two years, they have seen Mariupol, practically destroyed to its foundations, and finally captured by the Russians, under whose rubble its defenders perished and which the Ukrainians have not managed to reclaim, and let someone try to say in Ukraine that it wasn't worth it. Even though they lost the city and haven't reclaimed it to this day, and even though they will be rebuilding it perhaps for decades, today everyone who sees it knows perfectly well that it was and is worth it. Because there is no price too high to pay for defending one's homeland and for reclaiming it. Thank you, I bow my head to the ground, Warsaw Uprising insurgents – stated President Andrzej Duda during the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.

13:11

Kaczyński on the 'Decline of Western Elites':

What Happened in Paris is an Unprecedented Scandal.

- What happened in Paris is an unprecedented scandal and at the same time, it is a very, one might say, intense illustration of a very sad and unfortunately increasingly advanced process of moral and political decay among Western elites, including French elites. Something that threatens the future of the most benevolent civilization in the history of the world, a civilization that is benevolent to humanity, a Christian civilization - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS press conference.

13:14

Kaczyński on the Babiarz case:

It's a scandal and proof that freedom of speech has been abolished in Poland.

- The editor [Babiarz], for speaking the truth, because to some extent it was a free, but still a quote from Lennon himself, a quote from a statement referring to that famously known song, has been suspended in his rights and is being demanded to apologize. This is a scandal and proof that freedom of speech has simply been abolished in Poland, and TVP is precisely a place where this freedom is radically absent, and that is also very, very sad - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS press conference.

13:19

Kaczyński on Stripping PiS of Subsidies:

There are no grounds, only political will stemming from the current coalition's sense of weakness.

- We have a fully approved financial statement, there are no objections from the auditor, and we are in a situation where facts that could be the basis for some actions must have judicial confirmation in this situation, with this type of accusation. There are no such confirmations at the moment. In short, there are no grounds, only political will, stemming - as it seems to me - also from the current coalition's sense of weakness, and this weakness is not only its inconsistency, but also what is happening in the country - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS press conference.

13:21

Kaczyński on Pressure on NCK Members:

Various Rumors Reach Us.
- Rumors reach us, we are unable to verify them, so they are not true, about various promises, various kinds of pressure, but involving assurances of promotions being formulated towards commission members. I don't know if it's true, but it's worth the public hearing about such situations - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS press conference.

13:22

Kaczyński:

The Rule of Law in Poland is Gone

- The rule of law in Poland is gone, but the rule of law and democracy are two concepts describing different aspects of the functioning of a democratic and law-abiding society - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS press conference.

13:24

Democracy Will No Longer Exist in Poland." Kaczyński on Potential Loss of PiS Subsidies

- There is no rule of law, but some elements of democracy still exist. After this decision, if it were in line with the current ruling majority’s wishes – at least some of them, as part of them seems to hold a slightly different stance – then one could say that democracy will no longer exist in Poland – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a PiS press conference.

13:52

Kaczyński on Szydło and the Situation in PiS Structures in Krakow:

She Might Have a Different Opinion, but It Doesn't Matter.
- There is undoubtedly an operation that, as it were, summarizes what has happened, because please note that, according to our statute, we have a decision from the central committee regarding who is to be the Marshal. This is the former Voivode, very well-regarded, meaning a person with qualifications and a long-time activist of Law and Justice, and of course, not some parachutist - Jarosław Kaczyński said at a press conference, when asked about the situation in the PiS structures in Krakow and Beata Szydło's doubts related to it. - At least 2/3 of the councilors support this candidacy. Out of 27 parliamentarians from this constituency, 21 have signed their support for him. The group that threatens to switch sides, in such a situation, in the context they have in Poland today, opposes this. This is a situation that nevertheless requires rebuilding this organization, and perhaps the Prime Minister [Beata Szydło] has a different opinion here, but it is irrelevant at the moment. MEPs, when it comes to our party, are in a specific situation; they are to fight in the European Parliament and at the same time are forbidden from holding positions that are related to party leadership, real leadership functions within the party, because it simply cannot be combined - he continued. - This situation, with all due respect and sympathy for the Prime Minister, is simply her private opinion, with which I radically disagree, but that happens - he went on to say.

14:02

Kaczyński on the EU:

A group subjected to penetration by various intelligence agencies, from Moroccan to Russian.
- Laws do not apply, political will applies. The law as we understand it. So, simply an departure from the rule of law, from legality, that is perhaps a more accurate term, a trampling of everything they constantly invoked, and the context for this is also the behavior of the European Union. I do not believe they were unaware of what was happening here, and this shows that everything they did regarding the rule of law during our years in government was simply a mere pretext. They have nothing to do with the rule of law, and besides, this is a group to the highest degree demoralized and also, to the highest degree, subjected to various kinds of penetration by different intelligence agencies, from Moroccan to perhaps the most dangerous one, Russian - said Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

15:46

Terlecki:

Szydło Didn't Bother Attending the Meeting She's Now Criticizing

- Some strange laments about yesterday's changes in PiS district authorities, which the Provincial Board carried out almost unanimously (1 abstention). And Prime Minister Szydło didn't bother attending the meeting she's now criticizing - wrote Ryszard Terlecki on Twitter.

17:42

Kukiz on Ardanowski Joining the Parliamentary Club:

It Will Focus on Farmers Disappointed with PiS.
- There is no new initiative, not at the moment. There is the Kukiz'15 club. The whole novelty is that Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski has joined the club, who plans to create a formation, under his care, that would primarily bring together farmers disappointed with PiS, who have always [...] voted for the right side, but last year they did not go to the elections because they would never vote for the current government, and at the same time they have grievances against PiS regarding the “package for animals” and grain from Ukraine - Paweł Kukiz said in a conversation with Przemysław Szubartowicz on PR24. - I have a circle of people who, like me, believe in the necessity of fundamental systemic changes […]. Marek Jakubiak is gathering Poles living abroad to a large extent, as well as some entrepreneurs. And Jarek Sachajko will help Ardanowski in building this faction, this option - whether it will be in a party formula, an association, or any other, that is Ardanowski's business. […] The Confederation has a structure very similar to what I am talking about - he continued.

17:56

Kukiz:

If the Right Doesn't Have Its President, I Don't Rule Out Tusk Deciding to Ban PiS
- When I see the way this "rule of law" is being restored – which doesn't mean I consider Mr. Ziobro's previous governments and his reforms to be good, quite the opposite, I have always criticized them, even during my cooperation with PiS – but when I see all these actions, I am absolutely convinced that Prime Minister Tusk will do everything to ensure PiS actually loses this subsidy – said Paweł Kukiz in PR24. - If the right does not have a president, I would not rule out the possibility of Donald Tusk banning PiS – he assessed.

19:51

Trzaskowski:

The Previous Government Did Nothing Regarding the Civil Defense Act, Despite Numerous Questions
- Unfortunately, the previous government, despite my many, many questions and the questions of many local government officials, did nothing regarding the act on civil defense and population protection. We don't even have a definition of what constitutes a shelter and what constitutes a place of refuge - said Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts After Facts). - Fortunately, today the government has developed the assumptions for this act, and it will be ready any moment now - he continued.

19:59

Trzaskowski on Warsaw's security measures:

Even though it's the government's responsibility, we had to get ahead of events.
- We are also additionally securing our infrastructure, beyond what the government is doing, and we are spending money on that as well, which is precisely why I made these decisions [...] because I believe we must act preventatively. Even though it is the government's responsibility, even though these regulations have only just been created, we had to get ahead of events, because we simply must be safe, once again, prepared for any eventuality, because these power generators we are buying can be used in any situation, whether it's a flood, a drought, or indeed a cyberattack, or sabotage, we must be ready for it - said Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24.

20:12

Trzaskowski on abortion:

I am convinced we will manage to build a majority for a solution that may not be ideal, but will change medieval law.
- I told my colleagues who voted for Third Way, sometimes tactically, I told them: do you know what the views of Third Way politicians are, because they spoke about it openly - said Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24. - I believe everyone voted as they saw fit, but I think not everyone fully realized what views our colleagues hold. We will persuade them all the time, we will do absolutely everything to ensure there is a majority in the Sejm, but it is also important, fundamentally, whether we will have a president who will support this type of solution - he continued. - I am convinced that we will manage to build some majority for a solution [regarding abortion] that may not be ideal, but which will certainly change this situation, because this medieval law introduced by PiS is simply unprecedented. I believe that we will build a majority, that my colleagues will build a majority in the Sejm for completely different solutions, when it comes to abortion and when it comes to civil unions, and I believe that we will have a president who will support these types of solutions, who will not veto them - he went on to say.

20:34

Sikorski:

PKW Has Been Cruel in the Past. If It Didn't Act Now, When Millions Were Squandered, It Would Be Deeply Immoral
Considering that in the past the National Electoral Commission (PKW) has been, I would even say, cruel towards parties like Nowoczesna or PSL, by revoking subsidies for minor technical errors, if it didn't do so now, when millions, and public money at that, were squandered in the election campaign of the ruling party, it would be deeply immoral – stated Radosław Sikorski on TVP Info.

20:38

Sikorski:

Orban is betting on Trump's victory, who remains the favorite

- I believe that Prime Minister Orban is betting on Donald Trump's victory, who remains the favorite in the American elections, and he thinks that with these special relations with a potential US president, he will not only rebuild his political position but even gain dominance – stated Radosław Sikorski on TVP Info.

20:55

Sikorski:

Magierowski Terminated Employment Relationship

- No, no, the ambassador [Marek Magierowski] terminated the employment relationship. So, it will be a kind of transitional period - stated Radosław Sikorski on TVP Info.

20:57

Sikorski:

In Some Matters, the President is a Notary

- In some matters, the President is a notary. I remind you, the President signs the appointments of ministers or professors, but that doesn't mean he decides who will be a minister or a professor – stated Radosław Sikorski on TVP Info.

21:00

Sikorski on the EU Commissioner Candidate:

I Hope There's a Chance for Some Agreement Here.

- We consider this [competency] act to be completely and evidently unconstitutional, because the Constitution, in Article 146, states that the Council of Ministers conducts foreign policy, and the President, after agreeing with the Prime Minister on the name of the ambassador to the EU, also agreed and said that European policy in particular is the domain of the government, but he doesn't sign off on this ambassador either - stated Radosław Sikorski on TVP Info.

- I hope there's a chance for some agreement with the government, because we wouldn't want to alarm foreign countries with our internal conflicts - he continued.

21:08

Sikorski:

In pre-war times, the president should be someone knowledgeable in security matters
I believe that without a change of president, it will not be possible to push through and resolve these issues regarding which the sovereign has expressed a desire for change, such as partnership unions, women's safety, tax changes, and a number of others, and the current president simply sends them to the Constitutional Tribunal and vetoes them – stated Radosław Sikorski on TVP Info. I believe that in these pre-war times, the president should be someone knowledgeable in security matters, and I hope we will have such a president – he continued. I don't know [if there will be primaries in Civic Platform], those will be the chairman's decisions. Then I will consider [if there are any]. We will live and see – emphasized the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
