At 12:30 PM in the Sejm, a press conference will be held by PiS MPs Michał Moskal and Zbigniew Bogucki.

At 2:00 PM in Warsaw, a press conference will be held by PiS MPs Andrzej Śliwka and Marcin Przydacz.

- I heard Minister Mucha's statement, if I'm not mistaken, on Radio Zet, where she said that a Ukrainian educational package is being prepared, regarding which the Ministry of National Education (MEN) is not making any, let's say, remarks about the content of this package, and I consider this a big mistake. This is because if Ukrainian children are to be in the Polish educational system, we cannot create any kind of autonomy here for educating Ukrainian children, as they are in a Polish school. And we know that not everything concerning historical education and the historical policy between our two countries is settled 100% - stated Piotr Zgorzelski in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti."

- Integration, not Polonization, but there also cannot be an agreement for these programs to include content that builds the identity of young Ukrainians based on Bandera ideology. That is what it is all about - added the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm.

- Do you agree with the thesis that along with the dead fish in the Oder, the complete decay of our state in the government segment has surfaced? - asked Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- This is probably some kind of Pisist narrative announcing the end of the world. One thing must be said, why do these golden algae appear in rivers, if rivers are freshwater, and they should appear, if at all, in saltwater rivers? Well, for a simple reason: these rivers have been salted by large industrial plants. Nothing was done about this during the PiS [Law and Justice] government, and not much has been done to date - said Piotr Zgorzelski.

- No, these are your words, from 2 years ago, when PiS was in power, when there was the same problem with algae and dead fish - replied Fijołek.

- This is a political narrative that, in my opinion, today has a completely different character, because I see that the leadership of the ministry is doing something about this matter - argued Zgorzelski.

- I have not spoken with Prime Minister Tusk about this matter, but I imagine there will be a review of the political situation. Secondly, we will see what legislative projects individual clubs have submitted and which ones are important to them, whether it will concern the health contribution - stated Piotr Zgorzelski in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

- There is a good conversation among coalition representatives regarding Minister Domański, a man generally of good will when it comes to these matters. I think a very important issue, referring to the first part of our conversation, will be how Polish education will be financed. There are many alarming signals coming to the local government officials themselves - he continued.

- Yes, a new political season is beginning, there must be new dynamics, the coalition must show its effectiveness, its efficiency - he added.

- "We will reach an agreement [regarding changes to the health contribution]. We demand, perhaps it won't be a dream solution, but it will certainly be a step-by-step process to achieve what entrepreneurs would like to obtain" - stated Piotr Zgorzelski on Polsat News' "Graffiti" program.

Uśmiechniętym przeszkadza nawet… budowa fabryki produkującej amunicję… Poufne dokumenty na Onecie, wstrzymanie budowy fabryki amunicji dla polskiej armii. Tak wygląda troska o bezpieczeństwo Polski, kiedy za naszą wschodnią granicą toczy się wojna.

Mateuszu, to, że potrafisz robić interesy na respiratorach, maseczkach, wizach czy generatorach, wszyscy wiedzieli od dawna. Ale że na amunicji też i to na 14 miliardów?

- I hope that at the first session in September, the Sejm will consider the Senate's amendments to the bill on the Constitutional Tribunal. We will forward them to the President as quickly as possible. We hope, because we haven't lost hope, that this time we will manage to convince him that the mess that has been made is destroying Poland, not serving Poland, and is truly pushing all of us, not just MPs or politicians, to the brink of a legal abyss – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

– On my part, I am pleased that together with the Marshal of the Senate, and with the Prime Minister, at the beginning of September, here in the parliament building, we will be organizing a conference of experts, truly the most distinguished ones in Poland, with whom we will jointly consider what's next for the Constitutional Tribunal. Because I believe that today, we desperately need such a plan, such a roadmap, in the face of this cascading crisis we are experiencing in the Constitutional Tribunal. We will naturally keep you informed about the details of this conference – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- We discussed this with Prime Minister Tusk last week. We met after the parade on August 15th, and we talked about how urgent it is to launch this so-called Coalition Council, a group of our closest collaborators who will meet weekly, collegially, to discuss things we can do together, things that need to be done separately, and what the protocol for disagreements is. I understand that this group will commence its work within the next few days, starting its operations within weeks, perhaps two - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- We jointly agreed that such a deadline, which is hard to ignore due to political dynamics, is probably late December, somewhere before Christmas, and by that time these talks should have taken place, this discussion should have been somehow concluded - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- You know what my position is. I am seriously considering running, but I haven't made a decision yet. I don't know yet where we will be in 3 or 4 months. Where Poland will be, what its needs will be - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- This voice, which is already rising, one candidate, one list, has been sounding in my ears not from today, but for at least 2 years, because I remember that around the same time before the parliamentary elections, the same song began to resonate in Warsaw salons, asking whether Poland 2050 would curb the ambitions that are dramatic and destructive to Polish democracy, whether we would finally all succumb to the soothing thought that only together, on one list, are we capable of defeating PiS, and what turned out to be true? We defeated PiS because we gave people a choice. Because we showed that we can work as a team and not create pipe dreams – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- Regarding Mr. Romanowski, I believe we have a significant exchange of correspondence ahead of us; there has been no precedent for recalling a delegation member. In reality, there are not many regulations for this. We are analyzing it from a legal standpoint and will likely see what can be done within a few weeks, as it is already evident that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will strongly defend its area of competence, its sphere of influence. We would not want to be seen as someone violating the competencies of an body to which we voluntarily joined. We also don't want to be accused of doing so for political reasons – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- This must occur on purely legal grounds, and this discussion is ongoing; there are no conclusions in this matter. For now, we are exchanging correspondence with the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the Ministry of Justice. The issue of revoking Mr. Romanowski's delegation, at this moment, does not exist – he added.

- Beyond reckonings, which are essential, we need a swift pull on the reins forward, to go and tell people what we truly want to achieve. We want a multi-centric Poland, we want to seriously tackle housing, we are speaking clearly about energy, people with disabilities, we are showing what we want to do for entrepreneurs - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- But why lie so rudely and, what's more, so stupidly? It is clearly stated in the public part of the Council of Ministers' resolution that the aim of the program is the diversification and expansion of the ammunition production base (paragraph 2) - wrote Michał Dworczyk on social media.

- Out of the PLN 14 billion, PLN 11 billion was allocated to PGZ, with the remaining funds intended for the construction of a factory and the purchase of ammunition. In your escalating political fervor, you are ready to say and do any foolishness - completely ignoring Poland's interests - stated the former head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

Ale po co tak ordynarnie i na dodatek głupio kłamać? Z jawnej części uchwały Rady Ministrów jasno wynika, że celem programu jest dywersyfikacja i rozbudowa bazy produkcyjnej amunicji (paragraf 2).

Z kwoty 14 mld zł do PGZ przydzielone zostało 11 mld, pozostałe środki miały być… pic.twitter.com/UjBpER01ya
