- The state cannot leave anyone without help, and the state will rebuild the flooded areas and towns. In short – yes. We will fully finance the reconstruction of flood-affected areas – stated Andrzej Domański in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

- This could be subject to change [reconstruction funds], however, I will not prejudge at this moment what specific actions will be taken regarding these amounts. We will be adopting a very broad package of laws concerning aid for flood victims at the government level, and I believe, in the Sejm this week as well. I think it is very important to create a map, a matrix of expenditures, their funding sources, and all of this must be placed on a timeline - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- Przemysław Czarnek has probably never run a business and doesn't know that fiscal cash registers are essential for resuming operations. We are receiving hundreds, even thousands, of questions and requests from entrepreneurs regarding fiscal cash registers that were flooded and damaged during the recent floods. We are solving people's real problems - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- As you said – it's a drop in the ocean of needs [2 billion PLN]. Significantly more money will be needed. At the moment, the damage assessment is still ongoing, provincial governors are sending their estimates, but I know that these are not yet complete estimates. We have a communication from the Lower Silesian governor regarding an initial estimate of nearly 4 billion PLN, so we are certainly talking about tens of billions of zlotys - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- Regarding the budget amendment, the flood certainly increases the probability of a budget amendment this year. It also needs to be clearly stated that it will be necessary, for example, to increase special reserves in the 2025 budget, and such actions will be taken - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- Certainly, there's no question of it, there's no question of abandoning investments. Thanks to these 5 billion euros, which amounts to 21 billion PLN, that will be allocated to rebuilding areas affected by the flood, we will be able to implement all the investments we've spoken about previously - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- There's a proposal on the table to shift funds allocated in this year's budget for the 0% loan program towards flood victim assistance. Yes, this would mean abandoning the implementation of the 0% loan this year. What we know is that it wouldn't have happened anyway. We simply have funds secured in this year's budget, so if such a decision is made, they will be redirected, likely towards housing support for individuals from the affected areas – stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- First and foremost, we need to adopt the special act right now. We will work on this special act, we have already submitted our proposals to the Marshal's office, they are with Marshal Hołownia. The Sejm will convene in 2 days, and this special act is extremely necessary for us to help people and to emerge from this crisis as quickly as possible – stated Paweł Szefernaker in a conversation with Marcin Fijołek on "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- I believe that all this help was late, and significantly so. We were not prepared for the first wave, for what happened on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday last week, and these conclusions were not even drawn quickly. If now they talk about twenty-odd thousand soldiers appearing, why couldn't these people have been there the day before the wave, waiting and supporting the residents. Why wasn't there a base for the State Fire Service in one place from where they could dispatch fire engines – Paweł Szefernaker said in Polsat News.

- Unfortunately, we are the only country in the world where meetings of the crisis management staff are broadcast live. Can you imagine if there were ever a war in Poland, that the general staffs would be broadcast live? Well, that is simply unimaginable in any state; such situations do not exist – stated Paweł Szefernaker on Polsat News.

- The state was paralyzed in the first hours, and on top of all that, there was this political theater associated with the crisis management teams. Whoever made that decision cynically either simply lacked awareness or it was purely political in nature, and I believe that, unfortunately, it was done to show we are doing something, but at the same time, it paralyzed the entire crisis management system – he continued.

Kiedy polscy żołnierze i strażnicy graniczni narażali zdrowie i życie, chroniąc nas przed zorganizowaną przez Putina i Łukaszenkę falą nielegalnej migracji, rząd PiS wpuścił, także za łapówki, 366 tysięcy ludzi z Azji i Afryki. Raport NIK potwierdził nasze najgorsze podejrzenia.

- The PiS government brought more immigrants to Poland than Lukashenka and Putin tried to smuggle across the border - wrote Jan Grabiec on social media.

Rząd PiS sprowadził do Polski więcej imigrantów niż Łukaszenka i Putin próbowali przemycić przez granicę.

- Tomorrow evening, after the government meeting in Wrocław, we should be back. Right now, relevant ministers are working on legislative changes that will facilitate our reconstruction process, and we will try to present tomorrow evening in Wrocław what we have convinced various partners of. On Wednesday morning, we would also have the opportunity to meet there, on-site, before we deliver information late in the afternoon in the Sejm regarding the flood situation - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the crisis staff meeting.

- I ask you to refrain from such amateur analyses of who acted well or badly regarding the operation of the reservoirs. We will provide detailed information about the process of checking every element and we will inform where something failed or who failed, but this must be done by competent institutions appointed for this purpose. Such attempts to mutually blame each other for the flood by unprepared individuals are doing a lot of harm. I urgently appeal, especially to the media, to seek competent and reliable sources for assessing what is happening – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a crisis management team meeting.

- Yesterday, it was adopted here by acclamation, by the member states, despite an attempt at destabilization by Russia. Russia tried to introduce its amendments to the final version of the pact, to improve the language of this pact. Despite everything, it failed thanks to the firm stance of the member states. Among others, we voted against these Russian proposals. It did not succeed, and finally, Russia capitulated, the pact was adopted by acclamation, which is very important because the language of the pact, with which Russia is not satisfied, will now become the official binding language - stated President Andrzej Duda in the USA.

- “Cosmic nonsense. The Prime Minister is the head of ministers and issues directives. We decided, and I consider this incredibly important, to work with the curtain open. This was for all local government officials; they watched these staffs, the local government officials, everyone involved in these matters, and the public could also see how we work. And comparing that to Putin, who stages such staged events. Firstly, it was all genuine, and secondly, there were journalists, and everyone could comment and evaluate it,” stated Tomasz Siemoniak on the program “Kropka nad i” on TVN24.

- The regulation on the state of natural disaster enables action here. I also know that the Trade Inspection has started to act in recent days, and the Prime Minister also spoke about the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection. It is simply immoral if entrepreneurs try to raise prices in such a situation. I know that such situations occur and I strongly appeal to you not to do this. The state will act, and these prices will return to the level they were at before the flood – said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24.
