Bocheński on Potential PiS Presidential Candidates:
My Name Appears on This List.
- We are discussing the presidential elections - said Tobiasz Bocheński on TOK FM.
- My name appears on that list, but so do many others, like Prime Minister Błaszczak, like Mr. Bogucki - he continued, when asked about the list of potential PiS presidential candidates.
- Things are undoubtedly speeding up when it comes to choosing a candidate; analyses are being conducted, sociological analyses, polling analyses will be carried out - he went on to say.

Berek on New Documents Regarding PiS Subsidies:
It's a Matter of Days.
- The National Electoral Commission (PKW), in accordance with the Chairman's announcement, issued via a communiqué, information directed to us after the last session, has forwarded the correspondence. I know these letters have been received; it was at the end of last week, on Friday, I believe, that these letters reached the offices, so it's a matter of a few days to prepare these documents and send them out - stated Maciej Berek in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
- It's good that the PKW is asking specifically about specific matters. Very specific matters are raised there. This is what, in my opinion, should have been done from the beginning - he continued.

Berek on Documents Concerning PiS Subsidies:
That's a Great Question for the National Electoral Commission, or Perhaps Even the National Electoral Office.
- A few days ago, Ryszard Kalisz said: we received this information from the Chancellery of the Prime Minister at the last minute, we didn't manage to analyze it. I checked, the information from the Chancellery of the Prime Minister was forwarded to the National Electoral Commission (PKW) on May 24th. That is, two months before the session that did not lead to a resolution. I think that's a great question for the PKW, or perhaps it's actually a question for the National Electoral Office (KBW), the office that serves the PKW. Maybe something is wrong with the distribution of materials, maybe these materials arrive too late. I don't know, I'm wondering myself - stated Maciej Berek in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

Berek:
We are preparing a large package of laws for autumn
- We are preparing a large package of laws for autumn. We now have a break of several weeks when parliament is not working, and we want to appear in the Sejm with a large package of laws for the first sessions after the holidays. We have also planned what we want to do in the coming months - stated Maciej Berek in "Graffiti" Polsat News.
08:34
Berek on Health Contribution Changes:
This Year It's Very Difficult.
- This year, I think it's very difficult. The health contribution is a solution with very massive financial implications. Minister Domański has spoken many times about how these most difficult topics require fitting into the calendar we operate with. The health contribution is also one of the topics where there is also a difference, quite a clear one, between coalition partners - stated Maciej Berek in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.
08:42
Berek on the Situation in the Constitutional Tribunal:
No Forceful Solutions Envisioned for Now,
- There are no concepts at the moment of turning off the lights, cutting off the water, locking the gate, or the small door [in the Constitutional Tribunal]. There are absolutely no such ideas or forceful solutions for now. We want to reach a state of normalcy through steps that are acceptable in a democratic state – stated Maciej Berek in Polsat News's "Graffiti".
08:43
Bocheński on Bogucki:
I am among his fans," "I would work hard in his campaign team.
- I don't know if he is closer to nomination [party nomination for president] or further away, but I know Mr. Zbigniew Bogucki, he is the former West Pomeranian Voivode, a lawyer, an attorney, a very hardworking man. I saw how he works as a voivode, and I am undoubtedly among his fans - said Tobiasz Bocheński on "Poranek TOK FM".
- I would certainly work hard in his campaign team - he continued, when asked about a situation where Zbigniew Bogucki would run for president.
08:46
Berek on Social Security Contributions for Gig Contracts:
No Decision Right Now.
- There is no decision right now regarding social security contributions for these [gig] contracts. We are continuing discussions at the Economic Committee of the Council of Ministers. A meeting took place, and the Minister of Family, Labour, and Social Policy was asked to prepare additional information and analyses of variants. There is no decision yet to launch this process or this solution. If such a decision is made, if it is taken, I can guarantee that I will personally ensure that consultations are held, so that this project does not appear out of the blue - stated Maciej Berek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
08:56
Bocheński on Kaczyński's Statement During the Warsaw Uprising Anniversary:
It Comes Down to How Germany Dealt with the History of Nazism.
- The President's question boils down to how Germany has dealt with the history of Nazism and World War II culturally, historically, and educationally – Tobiasz Bocheński stated on TOK FM, when asked about Jarosław Kaczyński's words, "what in German culture allows ordinary people [...] to commit massacres [...] and whether this has indeed been completely rejected from this culture at the moment."
09:09
Bocheński on the President's Referral of the KRS Act to the Constitutional Tribunal:
A Conciliatory Gesture.
- The President, Andrzej Duda, is cooperating [with the government] because he held talks with Professor Bodnar, and there was no willingness to make concessions towards the president. Each side set [...] certain red lines, and this ended with a project that the president did not want to sign, but sent it to the [Constitutional] Tribunal, which was a second conciliatory gesture, because he could have not signed it at all - said Tobiasz Bocheński on TOK FM, when asked whether the president should make some compromise regarding the KRS.

Sasin on the Son of a Minister's Earnings at PZU:
It's Awkward, I Won't Defend It.
- It's definitely awkward, and I won't defend it [the minister's son earned 27,000 PLN gross at PZU]. I'll just remind you that I also exercised that oversight by ensuring that there were no family members of PiS politicians in the management bodies of these companies, supervisory boards, or management boards. Editor, you must be joking, do you think I approved every hiring, in every State Treasury company, where probably tens of thousands of people worked? That's obviously an absurd thesis, honestly speaking, I didn't even know about it, what you just told me, about these specific individuals. They certainly were not members of the management boards or supervisory boards of companies, because I did have such knowledge – stated Jacek Sasin on RMF FM.
- Today, presenting these kinds of things has some additional political purpose, of course, and that purpose is to distract from the real problems that exist in Poland today. Firstly, I would have to be convinced that this information is true, because in light of what I said a moment ago, I don't have that conviction, so if there's some audit, let it be shown. What is currently in the media, is partly astonishing, such as accusations that PZU or Bank Pekao S.A. bought advertisements in Telewizja Republika, as if it were a crime, and this accusation is seasoned with the statement: supporting right-wing media – he continued.
09:34
Sasin on the possible loss of subsidies:
If we have to tighten our belts, we will do it.
- If we have to tighten our belts, we will certainly do it. I think it's not a foregone conclusion, I hope it's not a foregone conclusion, despite enormous pressure. This is something that should not happen at all, the pressure from politicians on the National Electoral Commission (PKW), which is happening constantly, public statements from PO politicians who are even suggesting, or imposing on the PKW, what decision it should make – Jacek Sasin said on RMF FM.
- This is obvious to all of us. Meaning, it's like an announcement, but it's rather a statement of a certain fact, that we will have to deal with it, meaning, if such an unjustified decision were made – he emphasized.
09:36
Sasin on the White-Red Initiative:
A Broader Project Than a Party.
- This is not the Biało-Czerwoni party. Biało-Czerwoni is a broader project than PiS, than a party. It's an idea to attract people to public activity who don't want to directly engage in party politics, and this is meant to be a platform for precisely such individuals. Not everyone in Poland wants to be a party member, wants to be active in a party. This is an association that will operate on the principle of a platform for people who want to engage publicly, express their views, and work – stated Jacek Sasin on RMF FM.

Hołownia on Further Work on ZUS Holidays:
We've Taken the First Step, But Not the Last.
- "When can I count on voluntary ZUS, or at least holidays from ZUS?". Honestly and frankly - Poland 2050 has never said that we agree to a completely voluntary ZUS. We have our reasons, and I have my reasons too. In our opinion, in my opinion, this could end very badly for the entire system that we are creating in the state - said Szymon Hołownia in a recording published on social media.
- However, when it comes to so-called ZUS holidays - we have already passed them. Admittedly, in a rather modest form for now, but we will do everything over these 4 years - because we agreed not for 7 months, but for 4 years […] - we agreed on this, we will work on it, so that these holidays for those who are not doing well, for companies that are in crisis, experiencing difficulties, for whom these contributions are really a noose around their neck, can benefit from these ZUS holidays a little longer. We have taken the first step, but not the last, and we will work on it - he declared.
- We are aware, especially in Poland 2050, how important, for example, health contributions are. To relieve the burden on people who today sometimes grapple with the question: close the company, or not close it? We will also pursue this direction very consistently - he added.

The Mayor of Świdnica on the State of the Left:
We Are in a Position That Can Only Be Strengthened.
I think the Left is currently in a position that can only be strengthened. Like any party, it experiences its ups and downs, it has better and worse moments. I think those worse moments are behind us, and now will be the time for consolidation and for more clearly articulating our fundamental postulates. I think all the commotion around the recent bill that was supposed to lift repression regarding abortion helped the Left, because we showed the consequences here, we showed unity here – stated Beata Moskal-Słaniewska, the Mayor of Świdnica, on Telewizja Echo24.
- We are starting such meetings, among local government officials with representatives, as they say, of the highest leadership of the party. We will be preparing strategies that will somewhat help promote the things that are important to us. For example, the housing program excellently prepared by the Left, it needs to be implemented, local governments are ready, an impulse from above is needed, and of course, money – she continued.
15:51
Świdnica's Mayor on Her Conversation with Czarzasty:
Everyone Has Their Time.
- I'll say this very frankly, I spoke with Włodzimierz Czarzasty three days ago by phone: "You know, everyone has their time, we need to start thinking about how to position our Left for the coming years." I'm glad he's having such a moment of self-reflection; the moment when one needs to step down from the stage is very important in every politician's life – stated Beata Moskal-Słaniewska, the Mayor of Świdnica, on Telewizja Echo24.

There is no shame here. It was not Poland setting conditions for Russia. Siewiera on prisoner exchange between the West and Russia
- Without a doubt, there is no shame here - Jacek Siewiera stated in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts), when asked about Mariusz Kamiński's words regarding shame in the context of prisoner exchanges between the West and Russia.
- The fact that Paweł Rubcow was detained in 2022 is a great achievement of the aforementioned minister Kamiński and the ABW [Internal Security Agency] [...]. If it were that simple [to "give back" Rubcow in exchange for Poczobut], Rubcow would not have been in prison, awaiting trial for 2.5 years already - he continued.
- The party to these negotiations was the American side, not the Polish side. It was not Poland setting conditions for the Russian Federation - he went on to say.

Tomczyk on Generals' Dismissal: Just Decisions, in the Name of Professionalism and the Principle that the Military Should Be Apolitical
- These are changes that are currently within the remit of the Minister of National Defence, namely Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. He made these decisions. I believe they are just - stated Cezary Tomczyk in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, when asked about the dismissal of Generals Robert Głąb, Ryszard Parafianowicz, Roman Kopka, and Grzegorz Skorupski from their posts.
- The generals are currently at the disposal of the Minister of National Defence, and it is the Minister who will decide on their further fate in the army - he added.
Referring to Gen. Robert Głąb, he stated: - I would like to remind you that this is the general who ordered soldiers in the garrison to watch only TVP Info. […] This is one of the first things that was changed by the new authorities. We have simply thrown all bad and stupid regulations into the bin.
- One of the generals is also returning from NATO Headquarters. These are changes that are needed today in the name of professionalism and also in the name of the principle that Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke about, that the military should be apolitical. […] We have a difficult situation at the border, a difficult international situation. There is no place for politics there - he declared.

Siewiera:
Poczobut's Keys to Freedom May Also Lie in Other Empires
- The issue of releasing editor Poczobut has been raised in negotiations under both the previous and current governments. Today, these negotiations are taking a slightly different course, and I confirm that such efforts are being made. Moreover, it seems that the keys to freedom for Mr. editor Poczobut also lie in other empires, they may lie in other empires - Jacek Siewiera said on TVN24.
- Please review President Andrzej Duda's recent foreign visits - he continued.
20:10
Siewiera on Poczobut:
Would Such a Proud Citizen Truly Want to Be Part of a Prisoner Exchange?
- Please ask yourself, would such a proud and distinguished citizen of Belarus and Poland, unjustly imprisoned, truly want to be part of a prisoner exchange, such an exchange? - said Jacek Siewiera on TVN24.
- It is worth asking oneself these questions [...] one must also ask questions about such issues, including the possibility of a citizen who has already clearly shown that they do not want to beg an autocrat for freedom by admitting guilt, remaining in Belarus or returning to Belarus - he continued.
20:17
Siewiera on Klich's Candidacy for Ambassador to the USA:
How Was She Prepared That Even Her Wikipedia Profile Wasn't Corrected?
- Today, for instance, I received the Ambassador of Australia, and the biographical note in the memo comes directly from Wikipedia. This is also a fairly common practice in Washington - said Jacek Siewiera on TVN24.
- "The period of Bogdan Klich's leadership of the Ministry of National Defence was criticized by parts of the professional press and even described as the worst to date in the Third Polish Republic. In particular, the minister was accused of a lack of development planning and the random purchase of unnecessary equipment." [...] We agree that this is not a reliable source, if only because anyone can edit it. This is my question, leaving aside the matter of what kind of candidacy Minister Klich's candidacy is, how was it prepared, that even the issue of his Wikipedia profile was not corrected? - he continued.
20:21
Siewiera on Duda's Reasons for Refusing Klich as Ambassador: 'His Entire Record'
- Due to the entire record of Minister Bogdan Klich - Jacek Siewiera said on TVN24 when asked about the reasons why President Andrzej Duda "is opposed" to Bogdan Klich’s candidacy as Poland’s ambassador to the USA.
20:23
Tomczyk on General Jakubczyk's Dismissal: NATO Headquarters Requested It. Racist and Homophobic Behavior Cited
- Regarding dismissals, as in the case of NATO Headquarters, we are dealing with, for example, racist and homophobic behavior. I am referring here to the case of General Jakubczyk - stated Cezary Tomczyk on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
- I will certainly not go into the details of this matter on a television program. I can only say that it seems to me to be the first such case in modern Polish history where NATO Headquarters requests an officer to return home because the team he leads no longer wants to work with him, for the reasons I mentioned earlier - he continued.
20:34
Tomczyk:
Trzaskowski as President, Tusk as Prime Minister - That's My Dream Team
- Our candidate for president, if I were the one making such a decision, would be Rafał Trzaskowski. Prime Minister Donald Tusk himself has also spoken about this. This is truly my unique dream: I would want Rafał Trzaskowski to be president, and Donald Tusk to be prime minister – said Cezary Tomczyk in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.
- This is an exceptional duo that is already changing Poland. Imagine the possibilities that lie ahead for the country when finally, at the head of the Polish state, I mean the head of state, there will be someone who is suited for this position. […] This is my dream team – he emphasized.
