Mastalerek:
Kaczyński Will Never Be Deprived of Power in PiS
- I am from the camp that believes President Kaczyński will never be deprived of power in PiS. PiS is President Kaczyński; he built it. I have said many times that it is Jarosław Kaczyński's private party, and if he wants Mariusz Błaszczak to be president, he will be. If President Kaczyński wants Błaszczak to be the leader of PiS, he will be too. If he wants to make someone else the leader of PiS, that person will be too – stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

Mastalerek on Potential Subsidy Cuts for PiS:
Poland's Democracy is Worsening.
- I think [the National Electoral Commission] will cut [PiS's] subsidies. Unfortunately, I believe Poland's democracy is worsening under Donald Tusk and his coalition partners. I believe so, they exerted great pressure and they will succeed. I believe that next to Donald Tusk, Jarosław Kaczyński is a truly great democrat - stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

Moskal on why PiS lacks an event like Campus:
There is indeed some catching up to do.
- I think there is indeed some catching up to do here – stated Michał Moskal in “Graffiti” on Polsat News, when asked by Marcin Fijołek why PiS does not have an event like Campus Przyszłości.
- I believe this is one of those areas where we should open up. Besides, the elections last October also showed this, that we failed on the image front. We later saw a series of studies showing that when it comes to the PiS program, Poles in significant majority, exceeding support for any single party or bloc on the Polish political scene, want the PiS program implemented. But they didn't want PiS – he continued.
- Which means that as politicians of this formation, we have failed in terms of image and we should change – he emphasized.

Żukowska Comments on Kosiniak-Kamysz Being Booed at Campus:
He Met the People's Wrath.
- The Deputy Prime Minister met with the people's wrath. However, the electoral victory of the entire October 15 coalition was brought to us by women, and I would very much like the Prime Minister not to forget this and not to hide behind his conscience. This is inconsistent at a moment when he talks about a referendum, for example. Because what if there were a referendum, would his conscience stop working then? Would he be able to give it up then? Then yes, now no. I believe this is inconsistent, and I believe the message is clear: something really needs to move forward regarding the right to abortion – said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio Zet.

- I think the 0% mortgage program is no longer going to happen, and what remains is the Left's program, a housing program for affordable rental apartments, prepared by the current mayor of Włocławek, former Deputy Minister of Development and Technology, Krzysztof Kukucki. Now, Deputy Minister Tomasz Lewandowski is taking over and will continue to pilot this project, which has also received support from Poland 2050, which makes me very happy, and with such strong backing. There is also the Prime Minister's support, who has declared 5 billion in the first year, and 10 billion in subsequent years. I think we need to move forward with this quickly after the holidays – stated Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio Zet.
09:54
Żukowska on the Abortion Agreement:
This is the Prime Minister's Role.
- I would like to interpret the Prime Minister's statement [on abortion] this way, but the reality is that when there's no majority, one looks for it, and one looks for it in various ways. This means we can package bills; there are projects that TD (The Left) cares about, and it's not about necessarily being for this or that bill concerning the interruption of pregnancy; one can also abstain. If those individuals from PSL had abstained, the decriminalization bill would have also passed, so there is genuinely room for talks and negotiations, and I believe it is also the Prime Minister's role to lead to such an agreement – said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio Zet.

- Unfortunately, Tusk's government did nothing to stop this scandalous practice [of VAT fraud]. This was shown by EC reports, PWC reports. Everything changed since 2016, and they are responsible for these strange acronyms: STIR, SENT, JPK. Primarily these three. We, at least partially, to a large extent, solved and resolved this problem. The effect is more than doubling budget revenues in 8 years - says Mateusz Morawiecki in his first video published on YouTube.

- Of course we have plan B, we are prepared for many scenarios. We will not give up, we will demand justice, and if the Minister of Finance in such a situation fulfills the law, then he will break criminal regulations concerning the non-performance of duties that are expected of him - stated Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.
- No regime lasts forever. Donald Tusk's regime will also end someday, and I think sooner rather than later - he continued.

Tusk Announces Increased Funding for Armaments and Defense:
We Have Prepared a Budget for Construction and Strength.
- Inflation under control, record economic growth in years, real growth of the minimum wage. And the start of investments, especially key ones, primarily related to energy and rail infrastructure, and alongside this, the great effort that awaits us and from which there is no turning back, namely increasing spending on armaments and defense - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.
-
We have prepared a budget for construction and strength. We will build what is needed for both Poland's security, both direct and energy-related. We have also decided on record high defense expenditures. We are talking about nearly 190 billion, over 186 billion zlotys, which is also an increase compared to 2024 - he continued.

Tusk Denies Speculation About a Deal with Duda:
It Only Makes Sense if We Effectively Restore the Rule of Law.
- I will not make any deals with anyone, neither with President Duda nor with anyone else, on matters in which I truly deeply believe and because of which I have fully committed myself to Polish politics in recent years. This entire victory and the fact that we have taken power only makes sense, and will only make sense, if we effectively restore the rule of law. A mistake happened, there are consequences, and I am ultimately paying those political consequences, which is understandable. Furthermore, such a situation must not happen again - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.
15:07
- The changes that will restore the proper status of judges in Poland, meaning statutory changes, are already prepared. Minister Bodnar will present three draft bills in the near future. One concerns the status of judges, the second the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), and the third the Supreme Court (SN). These bills will be prepared until the very last moment, and I deeply believe that after the presidential elections, the new president will immediately receive these bills to sign, and we will be able to fulfill what we have committed to – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.
15:11
Tusk on Changing Abortion Law:
We're a Dozen Votes Short in the Sejm.
- Today, we are a dozen votes short in the Sejm, especially since the PSL has clearly stated that they will not vote for legal abortion, except in a few individual cases. I don't need to be convinced to do everything to ensure women in Poland have the right to legal abortion. But unfortunately, I only have one vote in the Sejm. What I can do in the government, and I know it's far from sufficient, is what depends on my decisions as prime minister, we are doing to bring at least some relief - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

If Abortion Liberalization Isn't Possible, Let's Restore the Abortion Compromise

Zgorzelski on the Abortion Issue:
The Political Class Has Failed.
- Madam Editor, I am a realist, and I see what any reasonable person looking at the political scene would also observe. There is truly no possibility of passing these projects in this Sejm; the political class has simply failed on this issue. And since the political class has failed on this issue, and there are expectations from women and society as a whole, articulated with various nuances, then perhaps we should indeed first reverse the hell created by the Constitutional Tribunal under Julia Przyłębska, and then try to give a voice not to the 30% of women in the Sejm, but to the 54% or 55% of women in society. And we give a solemn assurance that we will recognize the verdict delivered in a referendum; this is a fair way to approach the matter – stated Piotr Zgorzelski on TVN24.
"If Not the Political Class, Then the PSL Failed." Rosa Responds to Zgorzelski
- Mr. Marshal says the political class has failed. Mr. Marshal, it was the PSL that voted against the depenalization and decriminalization of abortion, so in reality, with this bill, it is unfortunately you who have failed – said Monika Rosa on TVN24.
20:48
Rosa on Decriminalization of Abortion:
This Could Be a New Compromise for Civic Coalition.
- The Speaker [Zgorzelski] is talking about a compromise that was reached, some 20-odd years ago. However, Mr. Speaker, that was not a compromise for us women. It was more of a way to sweep the issue under the rug and pretend that the issue of women's rights, our health, and our lives didn't exist, that abortions weren't happening in Poland. But they are happening. Therefore, for us, decriminalization could indeed be a new compromise, and we would very much like this issue to be taken up in parliament once again, so that a majority for the decriminalization of abortion assistance can be found – said Monika Rosa on the program "Fakty po faktach" on TVN24.
