Leszczyna on abortion guidelines:
I would appeal for them to be read.
- I would appeal to the Episcopate, but generally to everyone who speaks on the subject of the [abortion] guidelines, to read them, because there is a lot of untrue information in the public sphere and in public opinion - stated Izabela Leszczyna in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News's "Graffiti".
As the Minister of Health said: - These guidelines do not change the law in any way. We, as the Ministry of Health, are only providing an interpretation of how these regulations should be read. If the Episcopate or other critics of these solutions wanted stricter anti-abortion laws, they had 8 years to do so. They did so with regard to lethal defects, but they did not touch upon the aspect of the woman's life or health.

Leszczyna:
I Don't Know Any Health Minister in the World Satisfied With Their Budget
- I don't know any health minister in the world who would be satisfied with their budget, so of course, I am not satisfied. I would want more, but I must admit to the finance minister that he has delivered what the law imposes on him. It is to be 6.5% of GDP, unfortunately, the GDP from 2 years ago, because PiS prepared such a law for us - stated Izabela Leszczyna in Polsat News's "Graffiti".

Leszczyna:
I will defend the health contribution, I see no chance of lowering it
- For several months now, I have been repeating that with the funds I have, if we introduce certain organizational and legislative changes, we are capable of managing well and do not need to raise the health contribution, but I see no chance of lowering this contribution, not even through an expenditure act. What we promised during the campaign, that there should be no contribution from the sale of fixed assets, absolutely so - stated Izabela Leszczyna in "Graffiti" Polsat News.
- I am here to alleviate patients' burdens and I will continue to do so. I will defend this contribution - she added.

Kierwiński Responds to Czarzasty:
It is a mistaken expectation that we will sort everything out in 9 months.

- I would say it's a broken record [regarding Tusk running for president]. I still have an offer for Marek Sawicki: if he so strongly wants to decide for Civic Coalition (KO) who our candidate will be, let him make that declaration. It's really not difficult at all – said Marcin Kierwiński in TOK FM.
Kierwiński: The Coalition's Voters Most Anticipate a Single Candidate
- The most obvious, and perhaps expected by all voters of this democratic part of the Polish political scene, would be to field a single candidate. Today, I consider this very unlikely, but that doesn't exempt us from having a necessary conversation about it – he added.
"There is no space for it." Kierwiński Assesses Chances of a Coalition's Single Candidate
- Of course [KO wants Trzaskowski to be the coalition's joint presidential candidate]. Today, to be clear, I see that there is no space for it. However, politics is very, very dynamic; sometimes the situation changes from day to day, from hour to hour – he emphasized.
08:44
Kierwiński on the 0% loan:
This is an opportunity for many young Poles.
- I believe that this kind of TikTok policy is bad policy, but I understand that Ms. Pełczyńska-Nałęcz is presenting the position of Mr. Szymon Hołownia's party. We do differ in this regard, and we will discuss this topic. This is a perspective likely for the next few weeks. Funds for housing are allocated in the budget; these are funds that must be well utilized. One of the proposals is the 0% loan, which for many young Poles is truly an opportunity to acquire their first own apartment – stated Marcin Kierwiński on TOK FM.

Tusk:
Military Neutrality Must Never Mean Indifference to Evil and Aggression
- We exchanged views, which I believe form a comprehensive picture of the situation in the region. What is particularly important to us, and which we appreciate, and which we also discussed, is the fact that Ireland, a traditionally neutral country very attached to its neutrality, unequivocally supports the victims of aggression politically, in the context of human values. This is a very important example, not only for Europe - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a meeting with the Prime Minister of Ireland.
- I see that the world is beginning to understand better, in a sense following Ireland's example, that military neutrality cannot in any way mean indifference to evil, aggression, or the tragedy of innocent people - he continued.
- We discussed how to use this friendship and our good understanding to shape a new European policy, especially regarding security, but also the competitiveness of Europe as a whole against other parts of the world, and here we can, in a sense, share competencies and build synergy - stated PDT.
- Only a Europe competitive with other world economies, only a Europe skillfully protecting its own interests, can be fully secure, and on the other hand, only a Europe that can protect its borders and its territory can develop economically in peace - he added.

13:45
- I wanted to announce that we will keep our word; we announced that we would be collecting signatures for a motion for a referendum against the Green Deal, and in the near future, this matter will be announced and commenced. We remember this; we said we would do it in September, and in September, this operation will begin. I hope for success – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

Kaczyński on the unification of PiS and SP:
There are advanced talks on this matter.
- Yes, indeed, there are advanced talks on this matter. As for these two gentlemen, they will rather complete the composition, if, of course, they will. There are various questions related to this, perhaps instead of Minister Ziobro, there will be another person for a while longer, but they are indeed to complete the composition, but as vice-presidents - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.
14:09
Kaczyński:
Everyone Who Wants Poland to Be Independent Should Unite, Mr. Bosak Disagrees
- We believe that today there is a great state of threat to our independence, and before that, to our democracy, and everyone who wants to maintain democracy and, above all, wants Poland to be independent, should be together. Mr. Bosak clearly has a different opinion on this, PiS-PO – one evil – said Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- I am surprised by Minister Leszczyna's statement because we had an agreement with the Ministry of Finance that within the scope of 4 billion [PLN] this health contribution could be reduced next year, and in the following year within the scope of 14 billion [PLN]. I don't want to say we agreed, but we established such parameters for the contribution – stated Ryszard Petru on RMF FM.
- We submitted an appropriate bill. If we have such a blockage on Minister Leszczyna's side, I believe we should return to our parliamentary project again and submit it for the first reading, so that it is decided in the Sejm whether there is a majority for it or not, rather than wasting time on discussions in ministries – he continued.
Petru: I hope that under public pressure, Minister Leszczyna will react differently
- The project will be limited to entrepreneurs, and then, perhaps under such pressure from public opinion, Minister Leszczyna will react somewhat differently. We wanted to seek an agreement within the government; it is difficult, but this kind of attitude surprises me – he went on to say.
,,If this does not happen, it means a serious dispute within the coalition.” Petru on the health contribution
- This will be a reduction implemented by the entire coalition; I cannot imagine it not happening. If it were not to happen, it would mean we have a serious dispute. I am convinced that the Polish People's Party (PSL) will also strongly advocate for this – he emphasized.
20:16
Petru on PSL's Support for Siewiera:
I Don't Know What They Would Gain From It.
- I would bet 95% that yes [the TD candidate for president will be Hołownia]. In my opinion, based on my knowledge today, they will support Szymon Hołownia. Nothing was mentioned in discussions with the PSL [about them supporting Siewiera], and what's more, I don't know what they would gain from it – stated Ryszard Petru on RMF FM.
20:31
Domański Discloses Amounts:
I Have Initiated the Disbursement of Funds for Committees, Including for PiS.
- Having received the decision from the National Electoral Commission (PKW) and after analyzing this document, this letter, I have initiated the disbursement of funds for electoral committees, including for the PiS electoral committee, in accordance with the PKW's decision. PLN 10.8 million, almost PLN 11 million, in entity subsidies for PiS has been reduced by the PKW's decision. The remaining funds, amounting to over PLN 27 million, have been allocated for disbursement - stated Andrzej Domański on TVP Info's “Gość Wiadomości”.
20:34
Domański on the Extraordinary Control Chamber:
It is not a court and it is difficult to recognize its so-called decisions.
- I stand by what I said. This appellate chamber is not a court and it is difficult to recognize its so-called decisions. Let's wait for developments, for decisions from the PKW as well - stated Andrzej Domański on "Gość Wiadomości" on TVP Info.

Domański on the health contribution:
I am convinced an agreement will be reached.
- Yes, I am convinced that such an agreement [regarding the health contribution] will be reached. As for the absolute minimum plan, which is to end the absurdity of collecting contributions from the sale of fixed assets, I think it's a matter of the next week, maybe two - stated Andrzej Domański on TVP Info's “Gość Wiadomości”.
20:54
Domański on changes to the health contribution:
We have PLN 4 billion secured.
- I want to say that we have PLN 4 billion secured in the budget and we are ready to adopt solutions concerning the health contribution that will fit within this amount - stated Andrzej Domański on TVP Info's "Gość Wiadomości".
