Tomczyk on the annulment of the countersignature:
It's true that it's a precedent, but the law is clear.
08:27
Bocheński:
The Counter-Signature Was Not Withdrawn Because There Is No Legal Possibility to Do So
- I believe that the Prime Minister claims he withdrew the counter-signature, but it was not withdrawn because there is no legal possibility to do so. I could just as well withdraw my signatures as the Masovian or Łódź Voivode, according to my own discretion. Of course, there is a possibility in law to correct an obvious mistake, and then there is an appropriate correction, but the signature was made. I assume that this also applies to the electronic systems that are currently in use in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, so there is no such possibility - stated Tobiasz Bocheński in 'Sygnały dnia' on PR1.
08:30
Bocheński:
Could the President Revoke His Counter-Signature on Tusk's Government Appointment, Admitting It Was a Mistake?
- So, perhaps President Duda will withdraw his counter-signature on Prime Minister Tusk's government appointment and say it was a mistake? This cannot be; it's impossible, and there is an overwhelming majority of legal opinions stating that the Prime Minister has undertaken unlawful actions - stated Tobiasz Bocheński in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

I am one of the people being considered.
- I am one of the people who, despite the passage of months, is still being considered as a PiS candidate. But there is no decision yet, and we will have to wait for it - stated Tobiasz Bocheński in PR1's "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day).
- I know that Prime Minister Błaszczak is also being considered, and there are other individuals from within PiS - he continued.

Bocheński:
We Need an Image and Programmatic Opening
- I am one of those PiS politicians who believe that we also need an image and programmatic opening, a certain summing up of 8 years and moving forward with new topics, new problems for new voters in the near future, without making the mistakes of Civic Platform (KO) from 2015-2023, when it was a party very entrenched in certain topics and always focused on them - stated Tobiasz Bocheński on PR1's "Sygnały dnia".

As part of the monthly observances of the Smolensk disaster organized by PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński laid a wreath at the monument to the victims of the catastrophe in Piłsudski Square in Warsaw, and then delivered a speech. In the background, the shouts of his opponents could be heard, chanting various slogans, including "you will be imprisoned."
"We are here so that you can see up close how this has been looking for many months, since the transfer of power to the coalition of December 13th. […] Those who are disruptive have the right to demonstrate, but they must be at least 100 meters away. The police used to fulfill this obligation, today they do not. They pretend that nothing is happening. Individual police officers sometimes react […], but those who command clearly have different orders," said the PiS leader.
He assessed: "This is yet another proof of brazen, unheard-of lawbreaking. Especially since the aggression, which can be described briefly as: this is, ladies and gentlemen, Putin-esque. What is on this inscription, which they place here every month, is nothing but a defense of Putin. It is something that is untrue, and it is an untruth that was already established in the investigation conducted by the Military Prosecutor's Office."
Kaczyński was referring to individuals who leave a wreath with a plaque every month at the monument, stating: "in memory of the 95 victims of Lech Kaczyński."
"Those who come here should be and will be the subject of interest of the special services. Those truly Polish and truly Polish courts, honest courts, will judge them one day," he stated.

Tusk during a meeting with diplomats:
You are victims of systemic confusion and political dispute, which we will overcome.
- Ladies and gentlemen responsible for Polish diplomacy, there, in hundreds of posts, places all over the world, you are most aware. In a sense, you, Madam and Sir Ambassadors, are the daily victims of a situation of systemic and competency confusion, as well as a political dispute, which we will certainly overcome, but which is felt particularly acutely in moments of international criticality – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting of heads of Polish diplomatic missions.
- You know best, and I know best from my own experience, how cruel a tool can be in the hands of our opponents, adversaries, sometimes friends who do not always wish us well, information about disputes concerning foreign policy. So far, however, we have managed to avoid these threats, despite attempts, both statutory and arising from daily practice, to disrupt the competency order, which is in fact constitutional – he continued.
15:17
Tusk:
Faith in Poland as a European State in the Best, Deepest Sense of the Word Has Been Restored Worldwide
- That Poland has rebuilt, and literally so, its reputation as a European, democratic state, one that respects, and if for a moment it didn't, then one that is rebuilding the highest standards, has taken some time, in a historical sense. That we have managed to restore faith worldwide in Poland as a European state in the best, deepest sense of the word, as a country that can once again be a symbol of hope and a guide, an example for many in Europe and around the world, on how to navigate situations that are troubling not only us in Poland, but to a much greater extent some European countries and the entire world – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting of heads of diplomatic missions of the Republic of Poland.
15:23
Tusk:
We Must Remind About the Constitutional Foundations of the System, Where the Government is Responsible for Foreign Policy
- It is necessary, unequivocally, in the interest of Poland, not of this or that team, to unequivocally remind everyone in Poland about the constitutional foundations of Poland's system, in which the government is responsible for Polish foreign policy. The government is responsible, which means it directs this policy, sets goals, implements this policy, and also bears full responsibility for the consequences of these actions - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting of heads of Polish diplomatic missions.
15:25
Tusk:
Competence Disputes Have Always Harmed Poland
- Competence disputes have always turned out to be detrimental to Poland, and almost always there was the same tendency, that is, an attempt to alter the balance of power clearly defined by the Constitution. Keeping in mind that we are responsible for Poland's reputation and the effectiveness of our actions, we must be able to navigate this difficult time responsibly, without provoking unnecessary confrontations – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting of heads of diplomatic missions of the Republic of Poland.
15:30
Tusk:
We Will Need a Policy That is Both Firm and Sophisticated, Particularly Towards Our Most Important Neighbours
15:33
Tusk:
Poland Can Be the Nation Setting European Policy
- Today is the time, the moment, when it must be said very loudly that European policy must increasingly become Polish policy, and in this, as you know, unlike some politicians from the previous government's camp, we, the whole team, the entire crew, try to avoid empty bluster, slogans full of elation - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting of heads of Polish diplomatic missions.
- I try to use a very measured language when it comes to international matters, but these words are not a slogan at all. I am convinced that today is the moment when Poland can be the nation setting European policy, and that Europe will lead our Polish policy in these key matters - he continued.
15:35
Tusk:
We Don't Need Any Awards. We Need Countries Like Germany to Participate in the Policy Poland is Setting
- Today may also be the time to tell [Germany] that we don't need any awards. For us, the award is what Poles did on October 15th. That's the greatest award, and we don't need any words of recognition, but rather the participation of countries like Germany in the policy that Poland is currently setting, for example, regarding illegal migration. We cannot agree with such a fluctuating approach, either opening borders for everyone, and then suddenly closing borders for everyone - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting of heads of Polish diplomatic missions.
15:39
Tusk Sends a Message to Germany:
Such Actions Are Unacceptable From a Polish Perspective.
15:41
- In the coming hours, we will approach other states affected by these decisions from Berlin for urgent consultations on how to act within the EU forum on this matter. With all of Germany's neighboring countries. I hope that in the spirit of the EU, which we were so proud of and have the right to be proud of, that Poland is a part of this community that knows how to discuss contentious issues, no one should surprise anyone, and that in this matter, pressure from Poland and other states, a cordial one, as needed, will lead to a correction in thinking about this common policy towards the threats arising from illegal migration - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting of heads of diplomatic missions of the Republic of Poland.

Tusk:
The Era of Incompetence, and Sometimes Indecency, Must End in Both Domestic and Foreign Policy

Tusk:
Today We Need to Act in Terms of a Fighting Democracy
- As a historian, I believe I can probably safely risk the thesis that today we need to act in terms of a fighting democracy. This means that we will probably make mistakes or commit actions, which according to some legal authorities, will be inconsistent or not entirely consistent with the provisions of the law, but nothing absolves us from the duty to act every day - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the debate "Ways Out of the Constitutional Crisis.

Bodnar's Announced Changes Intensify Chaos
- Nothing is happening. We are being fed a smokescreen. These so-called announced changes that Bodnar has presented so far, they intensify chaos. This is because Minister Bodnar knows perfectly well that he is unable to obtain the acceptance of the president or anyone outside the current ruling coalition, because there is no element of compromise there - stated Krzysztof Bosak on TVP Info.
