Trzaskowski Comments on US Elections:
For Months, I've Been Saying We Should Be Prepared for Any Scenario.
07:37
Trzaskowski:
We are the ideal member state for Trump
- Donald Trump has always spoken quite realistically about security, namely he said: we will help those who take responsibility for themselves. Poland is currently spending the most money in NATO after the USA on its security, almost 5% of GDP - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.
- We are precisely such an ideal member state for Trump, because we simply take responsibility for ourselves - he continued.
07:41
Trzaskowski:
Ambassador Mosbacher to Play Important Role in Nomination Decisions
- We will see, we will see if it will be Bolton or someone else. I don't want to predict at this moment. We know that likely Ambassador Georgette Mosbacher, who was the ambassador to Poland, will also play a quite significant role in Trump's plans, even in decisions concerning ambassadors, in important institutions. We will see - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
07:48
Trzaskowski:
Trump will have no choice but to maintain relations with us
- I believe that Trump, regardless of who advises him, will make rational decisions. Today, Poland cannot be overlooked when discussing European security - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- Moreover, even global security. Poland takes responsibility for itself; Poland is an absolutely key state when we talk about supporting Ukraine, and regarding geopolitics in our region - he continued.
- Therefore, I think Trump will have no choice but to maintain relations with us, and I am confident these relations will be partner-like - he added.
- Because, as I said, for many months we have been sending a signal to everyone that we are ready for any administration in Washington and that we are taking matters concerning the security of our sovereignty into our own hands - emphasized the Mayor of Warsaw.
07:53
Trzaskowski:
PiS, which spoke so much about sovereignty, today behaves like a political vassal
- I heard about what Mariusz Błaszczak said. It's unbelievable. He said that if Trump wins, Donald Tusk's government should resign - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- This shows that they conducted politics totally on their knees. PiS, which spoke so much about sovereignty, today behaves like a political vassal - he continued.
As the Mayor of Warsaw added: - Can you imagine a serious French, Spanish, or Italian politician saying: the future of my government here in France or Italy depends on the election results in another country.
08:01
Trzaskowski:
I'm Preparing for a Rivalry with PiS, and Nothing Can Weaken Me Right Now
08:02
- We will certainly make a decision by December 7th. We have said this many times, the board is meeting on Saturday. We will also be making a decision on how to achieve this - stated Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".
08:19
- The United States is one of our most important partners and a guarantor of the strength of the North Atlantic Alliance. Trade turnover with the USA amounts to almost 30 billion USD. Over 1500 companies with American capital operate in Poland, and about 10,000 US Army soldiers are stationed on our territory. Today, Donald Trump takes the helm of this most powerful nation in the world - says the narrator in a new PiS clip published on social media.
The largest opposition party reminds of the statements made by key PO politicians in the spot.
"Many of them openly supported Trump's rivals, calling him a threat to Poland. Bogdan Klich, being groomed for the ambassadorial post, called him unbalanced. Donald Tusk was described as a pro-Russian politician, Radosław Sikorski's wife compared him to Hitler and Stalin, and Dariusz Joński claimed that everything must be done for Trump to lose the election."
- How will Polish-American relations look now? What about our security? What about trade relations with the USA? The irresponsible policy of the Tusk government can lead us to tragedy - asks the narrator.

Schetyna on the Situation After the US Elections and Defense Spending:
Poland Will Be Held Up as an Example for NATO Countries.
09:10
Kwaśniewski:
Trump's Victory Would Give PiS a Strong Psychological Boost – Suggesting Tusk's 4 Years, Like Biden's, Could Be an Episode
- This will be exploited; it will be fuel for the PiS candidate in this campaign [if Trump wins the election], which will be based on the premise that we have good contacts with Trump, and Poland needs strategic cooperation with the United States. Our candidate can handle this better than the candidate from the democratic coalition. All of this is not true, or only partially true, but it will be exploited during the campaign – stated Aleksander Kwaśniewski on Radio Zet.
- This is the first reason, and the second is that Trump's victory provides such a strong psychological boost to PiS, it gives them such faith that they can return, that they can win against the democrats, that Biden's 4 years have ultimately turned out to be an episode, just as Tusk's 4 years can also turn out to be an episode — he continued.
09:11
Kwaśniewski on the Civic Coalition's Campaign:
We Need to Campaign Exceptionally Actively, Immediately After Announcing the Candidate.
- We need to campaign exceptionally actively, start it immediately after the decision on the candidate, which is December 7th, without looking at winter breaks and other holidays. We need to start an exceptionally active campaign, because, I emphasize, this will be a tough, dirty campaign like we haven't had yet – said Aleksander Kwaśniewski on Radio Zet.
- It makes no sense [a joint opposition candidate], especially since PiS's campaign will gain momentum now after Trump's victory – he added.
09:11
Kwaśniewski on Błaszczak's words:
This is simply foolish, I'm surprised he says such things.
- I don't want to comment on such compromising statements; in Poland, those who were elected and have a majority in the Sejm govern. If we are a sovereign country, then making Polish elections dependent on any elections, even in the largest country in the world, is not only unjustified, it's simply foolish. It makes no sense, and I'm surprised that Mariusz Błaszczak says such things – stated Aleksander Kwaśniewski on Radio Zet.

Amerykanie zdecydowali. Stany Zjednoczone są i wciąż będą dla nas kluczowym sojusznikiem, który odgrywa bardzo ważną rolę w kwestii naszego bezpieczeństwa. W obliczu takiego rozstrzygnięcia w USA rola PSL jako partii centroprawicowej staje się jeszcze istotniejsza.

Heartfelt congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his decisive win. Over the last few months I’ve talked with many of his close advisors & senior Republican lawmakers, also arranging meetings for Polish officials. I am confident now ???? bonds will be even stronger.

- I am in regular contact with the highest security representatives in Donald Trump's camp. Europe urgently needs to take greater responsibility for its security - stated Radosław Sikorski in a conversation with journalists.
- Through defense spending and decisions on migration policy, Poland is doing what allies are only beginning to do. With regained credibility in the EU and good relations with the USA, Poland will lead the process of increasing the EU's resilience - he continued.
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs added: - The winds of history are blowing even stronger. Poland's leadership will rise to the occasion.

- I am pleased with this victory of Trump's, but the USA is, of course, still the most important country in the world. Certainly the most important country of the West, but still, our affairs are separate - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
- I know that Vance has certain views regarding this part of Europe which are impossible to agree with, but on the other hand, Trump will be president - continued the PiS chairman.

- The primary reason for developing the draft amendment to the state budget for 2024 is to provide local government units with additional financial support for their own tasks – stated Andrzej Domański in the Sejm.
- As a result of the amendment, an additional PLN 10 billion will be transferred to Polish local governments, of which PLN 8.2 billion will come from their share in personal income tax revenues. The remaining amount of PLN 1.8 billion will be a supplement to the general subsidy – he continued.

Morawiecki:
"Fighting Democracy" Won't Be Welcomed by the World's Greatest Power
They had better temper their expectations in the Kremlin. Any talk of Trump abandoning Europe and Poland is driven by fear-laden prejudice, not sound analysis. Since World War I, Europe has been a key strategic area for the USA. And that will not change – wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media.
- During my visit to the USA, representatives of the Republican Party made it clear to me – the authorities in Poland must be careful about violating law and democracy. "Fighting democracy" will not be welcomed by the world's greatest power – the former prime minister emphasized.
- I myself will actively strive to ensure that a spark of hope, economic and geopolitical, emanates from the USA and reaches Poland. I have spoken about the fact that the Polish right-wing faces 1000 battles before returning to power. Some of these battles will undoubtedly concern the American arena – he added.

- In Poland, pregnancies are terminated, have been terminated, and will continue to be terminated. We can only discuss whether they will be terminated in a safe way, under safe conditions, or if the life of the pregnant woman will be endangered, or if the sense of security of the family will be jeopardized - stated Anna-Maria Żukowska in the Sejm.

Komorowski on the Demonstration in the Sejm:
A Manifestation of Polish 'Kundlism'
- For me, however, this demonstration in the Sejm was something very distasteful and inappropriate, because I consider it a manifestation of Polish 'kundlism'. What kind of custom is it to give euphoric applause to the president of another country, who furthermore is not in this chamber, but across the ocean? This is some kind of manifestation of Polish complexes, I call it 'kundlism' – stated Bronisław Komorowski on TVP Info.
20:03
Komorowski on US Election Results:
A Gust of Wind Benefiting PiS
- Of course, the US election results will have an impact on the course of the presidential campaign in Poland. However, I think it will be a gust of additional wind, a political wind benefiting PiS - stated Bronisław Komorowski on TVP Info.
20:06
Komorowski:
Democrats Missed the Mark on Issues Truly Interesting to Americans
- In my opinion, American Democrats aimed incorrectly at the issues that truly interested Americans. It turned out not to be women's rights, not abortion, not even issues of democracy. All of these are important matters; Americans were interested in the standard of living of American families, of American citizens in the context of high prices, and they were interested in the problem of a lack of a sense of security - stated Bronisław Komorowski on TVP Info.
20:10
Bartoszewski:
When it comes to his political approach, Kosiniak-Kamysz might be closer to Trump than some in Poland
20:20
Komorowski:
For Me, There Are 3 Serious Coalition Candidates
- For me, there are 3 serious coalition candidates who, I must admit, align with my political tastes, and I believe each of them possesses slightly different strengths. We need to consider them - stated Bronisław Komorowski on TVP Info.
- The most politically experienced, with immense experience incomparable to anyone else in areas belonging to the president, such as security and foreign policy, is Radosław Sikorski. On the other hand, Rafał Trzaskowski, just like Szymon Hołownia, has a wonderful quality – the ability to attract and build sympathy with people - he continued.
20:21
Komorowski:
I Watched Trzaskowski at a Meeting with a Rural Women's Association. I Was Impressed by How Well He Handled It
- I observed Rafał Trzaskowski once at a meeting with a Rural Women's Association at my place, in Suwalszczyzna. I must say, I was impressed by how well he handled it. I see Szymon Hołownia similarly - stated Bronisław Komorowski on TVP Info.
