- I don't think so [that revoking the counter-signature is reckless]. Especially since we had two special circumstances in this matter - stated Adam Bodnar in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- Firstly, a complaint was filed with the Administrative Court by two judges of the Civil Chamber, and if a complaint is filed, the body that made the decision, or participated in making the decision in this case, has the right to make a change, this self-control - the Minister of Justice continued.

As Bodnar said: - Secondly, there is also a special deadline. As long as this decision did not materialize, as long as this assembly of the Civil Chamber in the Supreme Court did not take place, this action could be taken.

- A decision was issued by the Prime Minister under the relevant provision of the Code of Administrative Court Procedure, which had, as it were, two parts. One is the withdrawal of that counter-signature and its revocation. This decision consisted of two such elements, and this decision has, of course, been communicated to the Supreme Court - stated Adam Bodnar in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- I think that this decision, or at least the operative part of the decision to withdraw the counter-signature by the Prime Minister, should be published consistently - he continued.

- The Venice Commission is arriving this week to meet with various individuals and institutions responsible for the functioning of the prosecution service, as the subject of the opinion will be the separation of the offices of the Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General - stated Adam Bodnar on Polsat News's "Graffiti" program.

– Should we apologize for not fulfilling 100 specific points – yes or no? – Bogdan Rymanowski asked on "Gość Radia ZET" (Guest of Radio ZET).

– We introduced more specific points and fulfilled a larger part of our program than any other party after an election – replied Jan Grabiec.

- I don't identify with and have repeatedly distanced myself from the behavior of people participating in these events, including the so-called Grandma Kasia, Ms. Katarzyna Augustynek. I believe she very strongly destabilizes various public events in a very aggressive way that I do not like and with which I do not agree - stated Anna-Maria Żukowska in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- I am afraid this will be poorly received by society, because it is rather deepening chaos and a lack of trust in the rule of law. A mistake was made, let's not get into whose mistake it was anymore, because now I'm reading that the Prime Minister made the mistake, earlier we heard that it was Minister Berek, so regardless of who made the mistake, if a mistake has been made, then one must take responsibility for its consequences and not make it again - stated Anna-Maria Żukowska on Radio Plus.

- However, trying to erase this with an eraser, I am afraid, will end with the Supreme Court ruling that it is not binding, and therefore Mr. Wesołowski will still be the curator organizing the competition in the Supreme Court, and this will simply deepen this chaos, because further matters will be challenged by both sides - she continued.

- They will remain judges, so all these stories that neo-judges are not judges, no one questions that they are in a judicial capacity. It's simply that their promotions will be annulled, they will be verified, and they will be able to reapply for competitions. Until they pass this verification, they will be returned to their previous place of employment - stated Anna-Maria Żukowska on Radio Plus.

- They are certainly judges, it's just that their promotions will be verified - she continued.

– One interesting thing that emerged from yesterday's discussion. I was wondering if we in the Sejm should fill the seats that are about to become vacant in the Constitutional Tribunal. And the unanimous conclusion of all experts who participated in yesterday's meeting is that we should not. And now we must take this into account, this voice, it was unambiguous, very clear – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

– Do not fill these seats in Julia Przyłębska's Constitutional Tribunal. Even if by some miracle there were those willing to work with Przyłębska in the Tribunal and be in the minority there. Do not fill them, do not enter this poisoned well, this poisoned pond. Let's wait until we can solve this issue systemically. And to this voice, we, as the chamber, will have to respond in a serious manner – he continued.

- Please relieve me of this obligation [to analyze Donald Tusk's words]. When I get the opportunity to speak with him, I will ask him what exactly he meant. For now, I am assuming, for the sake of argument, that he meant fighting to restore the rule of law in Poland, that we truly need to work from morning till night to ensure everything moves in the right direction - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

- He didn't mean any internal conflict, I don't believe that. He didn't mean any civil war, any fight of one faction against another, because today we need cooperation. I know it's a terrible word, but sometimes medicine isn't pleasant to look at, but we need unity, not uniformity, the ability to agree on matters when someone else wants to harm us. So, I understand it as a declaration of a strong, hard political fight. In this, I will strongly support the Prime Minister - he continued.

- Both the Prime Minister and I, it seems, belong to that category which is sometimes called 'fighters' in politics, meaning people who fight, who don't sit idly by, but move forward and fight. So, we will fight - emphasized the Marshal of the Sejm.

- This is not any evasion or escape, but I am dealing with the Supreme Court and I know that the cancer that was introduced into the Polish justice system and constitutional judiciary has also reached there. Do you remember the two rulings on the same matter issued by the same Supreme Court when we were discussing Kamiński and Wąsik - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

- This is a very serious problem, for which there are no simple answers and often binary solutions. I consider the Prime Minister's decision to be controversial, I say this completely openly, but I know and believe that he made it, as he said yesterday, after consulting with many authorities, some of whom said that black is black, and others that white is white and that it is so, and not so, they changed these sentences crosswise - he continued.

As the Marshal of the Sejm added: - He had to make some decision, it was not a simple decision. It is probably a controversial decision, but we have to work in the conditions that are available today.

- Today, frightening people with Trump goes against Poland's national interest. Just as rejecting the Democratic candidate solely for ideological reasons would be a bad habit. Ideologically, I am closer to the Republican candidate than to the Democratic candidate, however, nations have eternal interests, not eternal alliances - said Mateusz Morawiecki in a recording published on social media.

Harris czy Trump? Kto lepszy dla Polski? Ten wybór ma ogromne znaczenie także dla nas. I z tej perspektywy analizuję to, co za chwilę wydarzy się za oceanem. Nowy film już na Youtube!

- Today there was hope that this project [Stop Price Hikes] would actually be processed and adopted. It turns out that unfortunately, the freezer has worked here. This means that the committee chairman, Ryszard Petru, has redirected this bill to a subcommittee. This, in practice, means freezing and shelving this bill for weeks, or perhaps months to come - stated Waldemar Buda at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- Today, around 4 p.m. at Warsaw airport, CBA agents detained former MEP Ryszard C. At the same time, his wife Emilia H. was detained in Warsaw. - informed the press spokesman for the Minister of the Interior and Administration and coordinator for special services.

Dzisiaj ok. godz. 16 na warszawskim lotnisku agenci CBA zatrzymali byłego posła do PE Ryszarda C. W tym samym czasie w Warszawie została zatrzymana jego żona Emilia H. Postępowanie prowadzone wspólnie przez @CBAgovPL z wydz. zam. @PK_GOV_PL w Katowicach dotyczy Collegium Humanum pic.twitter.com/YqUaEzgRfj

The Sejm Foreign Affairs Committee debated candidacies for new ambassadors of the Republic of Poland. Among them is Bogdan Klich, who is slated to head the mission in the USA.

- How does the senator envision fulfilling the office of ambassador if Donald Trump becomes president, given the record of posts that are essentially offensive to President Trump? - asked Krzysztof Bosak during the session.

- You accused President Trump of wanting to join the rebels occupying the Capitol - you stated that it was "terrifying, but not surprising" and concluded that it was a friendship with "this unbalanced politician who disrespects democracy." [...] You stated that Trump is Putin's puppet, "he would hand over the whole of Ukraine on a silver platter, and the USA for dessert." […] You also stated that Trump's presidency "ends with disgraceful riots at the Capitol." - he continued.

The candidate for ambassador to the United States responded to the question from the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm.

- You quoted three [...] tweets. I could also quote many of your posts on the same social media channel, which are significantly more radical in their rhetoric on various domestic and foreign matters. That's just how it is, parliamentarians go further. […] Ministers must be very restrained. And diplomats must be the most restrained - stated Bogdan Klich.

- Allow me not to refer to those formulations you quoted. I will only say that every head of a Polish mission in the United States has an obligation to work with any president elected by the American people - regardless of whether they are a Democrat or a Republican - he emphasized.

As he assured: - I guarantee you that, respecting the office of the head of mission in Washington, I will not comment on any actions of the future president, regardless of who it may be. But I will cooperate - for the sake of our country's interests - with whomever the Americans entrust with this position.

Bogdan Klich – the candidate for the head of the Polish diplomatic mission in the United States – has received a positive opinion from the parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee.

15 members of the committee voted "for," while 12 MPs voted against, and no one abstained.

- First the prosecutor, then the court. I am calm and I trust the current prosecutor's office that everything they do is based on documents, and I think your laughter is the best proof that you are simply afraid. Fear has entered your eyes, these trips to London by Ms. Emilewicz and Mr. Dworczyk are a sign of fear of what your colleague will testify to the prosecutor, without having contact with you - stated Agnieszka Pomaska on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
