At 10:00 AM, a press conference will begin at PiS headquarters with the participation of Mariusz Błaszczak, Mateusz Morawiecki, Zbigniew Kuźmiuk, and Małgorzata Golińska.

Also at 10:00 AM, during a Senate session, Radosław Sikorski will present information on Polish diaspora policy. During a break in the proceedings, around 10:45 AM, a press conference will be held by the Minister of Foreign Affairs with the Marshal of the Senate, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska.

At 12:00 PM, a press conference is scheduled at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM) with Jarosław Stróżyk, the chairman of the commission for the examination of Russian and Belarusian influences. As announced by Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday, the press conference will present the work conducted by the commission to date.

At 1:00 PM, a press briefing will take place at the Centre for European Transport Projects in Warsaw with the participation of Dariusz Klimczak in connection with the signing of an agreement to support the undertaking "Purchase of 56 zero-emission locomotives and modernization of 248 passenger carriages" under the National Reconstruction Plan (KPO).

At 3:00 PM, a press conference will begin at the Połowce-Pieszczatka border crossing with Tomasz Siemoniak and Nancy Faeser, the German Minister of the Interior. The topic will be the security of the Polish-Belarusian border, which is the external border of the European Union.

Also at 3:00 PM, a press conference will be held by Antoni Macierewicz in the Sejm.

- If this idea [of a joint candidate] were buried, we wouldn't be discussing it today. It's a proposal that is very current and also concerns Marshal Hołownia - stated Piotr Zgorzelski in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

- So, he shouldn't close this project off immediately, because it was dedicated to all candidates from the democratic side who would want to run in the presidential elections and would be selected, for example, through primaries, polls, etc. - continued the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm.

As the PSL politician added: - This is about something different than a proposal that was buried after an hour but has been alive for several days now. It's primarily about starting to think about the presidential elections in a state logic, not a party logic.

- The point is to give people the perspective that, due to external and internal threats, a president must be elected in the first round. Because if we don't elect a president who will be the candidate of all democratic parties, we might not succeed in these elections – stated Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.

- As far as I'm concerned, recording can happen both outside the office and inside the office. You are welcome, I don't have a problem with that. I don't know the situation exactly, as it was likely generated late last night. I promise that such a question will definitely be raised at the Sejm Presidium, and I will probably ask, what this is all about – stated Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.

- Because that wasn't our intention, those of us who went into the elections on October 15th, to tear down one curtain only to later erect other barriers. The curtain, which was a symbol of PiS, has disappeared, and nothing curtain-like should exist in the Polish Sejm - stated Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.

- They [restrictions for journalists in the Sejm] should be reversed, because we promised journalists access to every place at every moment in the Sejm - stated Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.

- That certainly didn't help us in our view of the whole matter [removing crosses], but I think that [Rafał Trzaskowski] could be our candidate, if he were agreed upon according to the WKK's proposal - stated Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.

- We are not [opposed to homosexual people], neither I nor the Prime Minister, and these kinds of behaviors are simply undignified, and I believe that if he wanted to say such words to us, we are truly neighbors through the wall when it comes to the Marshal's corridor - stated Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.

- He could have come and said it, not put on such a clown show here. He is making a mockery of a serious issue, because these things should be discussed seriously, not through the media in this way - he continued.

- Quite the opposite [I don’t mind a free Christmas Eve], only as I said earlier, let them decide if they definitely mean December 24th, or the 23rd. Animals, which as is well known speak with human voices on Christmas Eve, if they find out that this idea is authored by the Left, they may fall silent – stated Piotr Zgorzelski on Radio Zet.

- This is a matter of responsibility [running for president]. I think Poles would not want to have an IPN president who travels around Poland, talks about the great sacrifices Poles have made throughout history, and then, when the moment comes for him to fight for Poland himself, says: no, I'm afraid, I'm worried, I prefer to deal with history – stated Karol Nawrocki on RMF FM.

- I am not a candidate for president today, but I am not ready to say in this kind of situation that I am not interested in the affairs of Poland and Poles – he added.

- We see in the past year that many of these initiatives undertaken by the new government serve, in part, even this discussion we had regarding reparations with the editor; it actually serves the interests of the German state in this context – said Karol Nawrocki on RMF FM. ej

- Yes, in many areas [the government serves Germany's interests], including memory policy, with absolute certainty. If we look at the nominees from PO, for example, at the Museum of the Second World War, which was developing the narrative of German memory policy – he continued.

- The President of Ukraine must make this decision; it seems to me that Ukraine will sooner or later be confronted with a problem. You cannot become part of European civilization or international structures without respecting the dead, without allowing 120,000 people – women, children, civilians hacked to death with axes, cut up with saws by Ukrainian nationalists – to be buried – stated Karol Nawrocki on RMF FM.

- It seems to me, I am convinced, that the Polish state should decisively strive for exhumations to be undertaken. Whether the Ukrainian authorities will do so, of course, I do not know. However, Ukraine is behaving very indecently in this regard towards Poles – he continued.

- In recent days, consular services and the prosecutor's office have been cooperating intensively. We are at the stage where Minister Mroczek confirmed today the fact of Mr. Szopa's return. As I understand it, Minister Mroczek takes full responsibility for what is happening with Mr. Szopa at the moment – said Minister of Justice Adam Bodnar in a conversation with journalists.

The Minister of Justice thus referred to the words of Deputy Minister of National Defence Czesław Mroczek, who informed that Paweł Szopa is on a plane flying to Poland.

- We are working through various channels for the release of our compatriots imprisoned by Lukashenka's regime. First and foremost Andrzej Poczobut, sentenced in a sham trial to 8 years in a penal colony - stated Radosław Sikorski in the Senate.

- It wasn't an impulsive decision; the reason was very simple. That reason is the state budget bill that the government presented to the parliament. A bad bill. I agree [there will be amendments], but we had a conversation on this matter with our colleagues from New Left, and we heard from them that they expected us to vote for this budget regardless of what it contained. This was contrary to the principles we agreed upon when we were forming the coalition club - stated Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- We will introduce amendments that show how to obtain the funds needed for healthcare, because we will propose this very rationally - stated Adrian Zandberg on Radio Plus.

- We show where to get them – from taxing banks and financial institutions, which are currently experiencing a golden age and very good net results, from taxing millionaires, and big corporations, which unfortunately the government treats with exceptional leniency and plans for surprisingly low corporate tax revenues next year - he continued.

- I assure you that I have had a formed opinion on Antoni Macierewicz's activities for many years, dating back to the way the military intelligence services were liquidated, and in recent days we have learned about his deceptions related to the investigation of the Smolensk crash. This is not a person who should be a recipient of the Order of the White Eagle – stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.

- What outraged me when I was his superior and prompted me to submit a motion for his dismissal from the position of Deputy Minister of National Defence were the scandalous procedures concerning classified documents, but also later the presentation of the report on the liquidation of WSI in such a way that contact with agents was lost, and people were put in danger – he continued.

- Patriotic cooperation with the special services of a free Poland was revealed, and current intelligence operations were disclosed, which affected and continues to affect our cooperation with allied countries. These are scandalous, unacceptable behaviours. If Macierewicz were a Russian agent, he couldn't do a better job – he added.

- Please be understanding towards Mr. President and his strange, aggressive statements. You too, in his place, would be increasingly agitated - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on social media.

Bądźcie, proszę, wyrozumiali wobec Pana Prezydenta i jego dziwnych, agresywnych wypowiedzi. Wy też na jego miejscu bylibyście coraz bardziej zdenerwowani.

- Yesterday, what happened and what your editorial staff experienced, occurred in my absence from the office. I was not in the office at that time, I was on a trip to Greater Poland. However, services were working in the office. Pyrotechnic and anti-bugging services, who periodically carry out checks of our premises where we work, and therefore officers asked that when these checks are being conducted, there should be no people in the corridor – stated Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists.

- If we are dealing with a situation where services are working at a given moment, actively performing their tasks. These tasks are very diverse. You must be aware that sometimes you can be in one place, and in another you won't be able to be, and the Marshal's Guard, without informing you in real-time about what is currently happening, will not be able to say so. Later, in a statement, one can try to talk about it when it has been completed, when it has happened, but the guard is also not authorized to provide such information – he continued.

- This has nothing to do with press freedom or journalists' access, because you know very well that I am a Marshal who has granted you hundreds more [accesses] than the previous two combined – stated Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists.

- I regret that the situation was not clarified yesterday, and secondly, situations will continue to occur, and I am warning you loyally about this, where the Marshal's Guard, SOP officers will say: we apologize, but please step aside now. Because there is apparently some procedure that requires it – stated Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists – he continued.

- I understand that a misunderstanding occurred yesterday, for which I apologize; it should not have happened – he emphasized.

- The commission will be preparing further reports. In accordance with what the Prime Minister said and as stipulated by the ordinance, we owe you an annual report by March of next year. In the event of dynamic developments in the commission's work, I do not rule out presenting partial reports on a single topic in January 2025 - stated Jarosław Stróżyk at a press conference.

- The cases revealed by the committee indicate a deliberate weakening of Poland's security. This includes the potential of the Polish Armed Forces and special services, as well as the weakening of Poland on the international stage, which aligns with the objectives of Russian policy - stated Jarosław Stróżyk at a press conference.

- No politician, no minister in a democratic state can make arbitrary decisions without due process that affect Poland's security. And the committee's final plea to all - let's not fund Russian influence - he continued.

- I am taking today's reports by WP very seriously, which is why I have urgently summoned Deputy Minister Jacek Tomczak to provide explanations and address the accusations made in the text. We will investigate the matter thoroughly, without sweeping it under the rug - wrote Minister Krzysztof Paszyk on social media.

Dzisiejsze doniesienia https://t.co/GXLEm2FzwK traktuję bardzo poważnie, dlatego w trybie pilnym wezwałem wiceministra Jacka Tomczaka do złożenia wyjaśnień i odniesienia się do postawionych w tekście zarzutów. Sprawę zbadamy dogłębnie, bez zamiatania pod dywan.

Jestem poruszony ustaleniami, jakich dokonała Komisja ds. badania wpływów rosyjskich. Zapewniam o pełnej gotowości prokuratury do badania okoliczności wskazywanych w zawiadomieniach kierowanych przez Komisję. Dziękuję gen. Jarosławowi Stróżykowi i wszystkim członkom Komisji za…

- I received the words spoken at that conference, fragments of which were sent by my colleagues, with great surprise and complete disapproval, this thesis concerning the hiding of documentation, but also another, some form of cooperation or granting such - said Jacek Siewiera in a conversation with journalists.

- Both the Presidential Chancellery (KPRP) and the National Security Bureau (BBN) are institutions subordinate to the President. Indeed, two letters arrived at the BBN office - in July and August - with a very generally formulated request for the knowledge held within the BBN regarding Russian and Belarusian influences in several different areas, defense, planning. Collegium Humanum was probably even mentioned there - he continued.

- After consulting with lawyers, I responded to the two letters with a refusal to provide or send any information due to the lack of a legal basis. Because the BBN is not an entity supervised by the Prime Minister, and an ordinance does not constitute a legal basis. General Stróżyk is well aware of the reason for the refusal - added the head of BBN.

- There is readiness for cooperation, and the BBN can share documents, it must when it is obligated to do so, if they are indicated and there is a legal basis for it, and here there is none - he emphasized.

- Thank you very much, Madam Minister, for accepting the invitation, following our discussions in Warsaw and your presence here at the border, at a particularly significant location for our state border. For over 3 years, we have been experiencing hybrid aggression at this location from the Lukashenka regime, supported by Russia, which involves facilitating the transfer of illegal immigrants into Poland and the EU. Today, we have provided Madam Minister and the German delegation with a vast amount of information on the immense effort our state is undertaking to ensure this border, the EU border, is watertight – stated Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference.

- We are doing everything to make this border watertight and secure, so that internal borders within the EU do not re-emerge. We are very hopeful that the controls introduced by the German government, by Madam Minister, on Germany's land borders with various countries will prove to be transitional and temporary. Today, with the full strength of the European Union and NATO, we must protect this border, because if this border is secure, the entire Union will be secure, and within the Schengen area, no controls will be necessary – he continued.

- We are in talks with the European Union, with the minister, with the German government about how to secure the external border. The support you are asking about, Madam Editor, can have many dimensions, primarily financial support from the European Union. Here, we are counting on Germany's support in this direction. Regarding the development of border infrastructure, what you see are very costly things – the electronic fence and all the actions of our services – stated Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference.

- Antoni Macierewicz was the first Minister of National Defence who, as soon as he became minister, brought thousands of American soldiers to Poland on a permanent basis, and who created the Territorial Defence Force. He rebuilt the forces on the eastern flank, and he is to be considered a traitor and a pro-Russian individual – stated Przemysław Czarnek on Polsat News.

- These people around pro-Russian Donald Tusk lie incessantly, solely to cover up his pro-Russian stance, his overtures towards Putin, Sikorski's overtures towards Lavrov, and the pro-Russian and anti-Polish actions of the Tusk government before 2015. The consequences of which also included April 10, 2010. No lies from Tusk and his makeshift committee, which is not a commission appointed by law but some private committee in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, no lies will obscure Antoni Macierewicz's great merits for strengthening the Polish army and for anti-Russian actions in Poland – he continued.

Informuję, że Paweł S. jest już w Polsce i pozostaje w dyspozycji polskich prokuratorów. Na jutro zostały zaplanowane czynności z jego udziałem.
Dziękuję przede wszystkim prokuratorom prowadzącym postępowanie @PK_GOV_PL, a także @MSZ_RP, @MSWiA_GOV_PL oraz @PolskaPolicja za…
