- I think that this poll, done by the party, I hope that no one from Civic Coalition, from a poll commissioned by Civic Coalition, effectively by Donald Tusk, will question it. It shows very bad intentions if someone says so [that it's rigged], they are disloyal and not objective. Emotions are too high somewhere – stated Sławomir Nitras in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

- Radosław Sikorski has lower support than Civic Coalition in the same polls, and in the second round, Rafał Trzaskowski collects more votes than Radek Sikorski across all electorates – left, center, and right. He wins much more clearly in the second round, and we know that in the second round, 1% or 0.5% can be decisive - stated Sławomir Nitras on Radio Zet.

- I have no doubt that Rafał Trzaskowski was less swayed by such emotions of speaking ill of a competitor, a colleague. Even this statement by Joanna Kluzik-Rostkowska indicates that the emotions there are greater, and one must remember that emotions must be kept in check. This is very important, especially in politics and especially in such difficult times - stated Sławomir Nitras on Radio Zet.

- He [Jarosław Kaczyński] simply doesn't know what decision to make today, and I suspect he's looking for other solutions, someone beyond the candidates who are appearing in the public sphere, and that's not easy. I don't rule out such a possibility [that he'll pull a rabbit out of a hat] - stated Sławomir Nitras on Radio Zet.

– I'm happy to offer this topic to all journalists – let's also address the MBA program at Father Rydzyk's, because that was another significant source where I saw an influx of people appearing on supervisory boards, and all of them, or the majority of them, had completed an MBA at Father Rydzyk's school – stated Sławomir Nitras on Radio Zet.

- 1000 days of Russian aggression, 1000 days of Ukrainian heroism and suffering, 1000 days of Polish aid and solidarity. By supporting Ukraine, we push war further from our borders. Let's remember this every day - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

1000 dni rosyjskiej agresji, 1000 dni ukraińskiego bohaterstwa i cierpienia, 1000 dni polskiej pomocy i solidarności. Wspierając Ukrainę oddalamy wojnę od naszych granic. Pamiętajmy o tym każdego dnia

- The matter is serious. Not a week goes by without the media revealing another apparatchik being inserted into companies. Yesterday, Onet showed what's happening on the railways, Minister Klimczak. You're stuffing defeated mayors, relatives, and political cronies in there, people with no qualifications who had nothing to do with the railways, and this is repeating itself - stated Adrian Zandberg in the Sejm.

- This is truly embarrassing and it's blatant pork-barrelling, no different from what PiS did in the previous term - he continued.

- There were supposed to be transparent competitions, rules, everything clear, and unfortunately, everything is clear. The principle is - whoever has a minister as a friend gets a sinecure - he added.

- I note with great satisfaction the far-reaching agreement on most of the issues discussed, and our joint statement has been published precisely for your use - stated Radosław Sikorski at the press conference of the Weimar Triangle+.

- Today, as the winds of history blow ever stronger, we need the wisdom of King Solomon. As I mentioned, today's meeting takes place on the 1000th day since the commencement of Russian aggression against Ukraine. In recent days, further bombs and missiles have fallen on Ukrainian cities. Putin, in the name of his imperial pride, is murdering Ukrainians and leading further legions of his soldiers to their deaths. This meeting is to be a clear symbol of our solidarity and unity with the Ukrainian nation - he continued.

- Our talks served to develop a cohesive message towards the new administration. Strong transatlantic relations are a common interest that increases our political, economic, and military influence - added the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

- We agreed that Europe must take greater responsibility for its own security, including through a more balanced burden-sharing within NATO. The strengthening of European defense capabilities should go hand in hand with maintaining the US commitment to our security, stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference of the Weimar Triangle+.

- Of course, we will [appeal the PKW's decisions], but the PKW, specifically its representative, Mr. Kalisz, stated that they will not consider court rulings. Because right now, we are living in a state of complete anarchy, a dictatorial anarchy - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- We can talk a great deal about the economy, social issues, the rule of law, the state of democracy in Poland, and whether we are properly arming ourselves against the threats around us - he listed.

- Poland finds itself in a very difficult geopolitical and internal situation, and we, as a national community, cannot afford to remain in an impasse at a time when history is catching up with us. Either we will use it to develop wonderfully in the coming decades, or we will lose this chance and, as many times in history, find ourselves in a place we would not want to be - he indicated.

- We will likely make a decision without knowing which of the candidates on the other side will be, so it certainly won't influence it, although I would join the opinion that it would be good, but we have our own calendar - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

On Thursday at 4:15 PM, the Sejm will address the PiS motion to express a vote of no confidence in the Minister of Health, Izabela Leszczyna. This is a change in the schedule; this item was not originally on the agenda. The day before, the parliamentary health committee will consider the motion.

- Today marks 1000 days since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Poland's stance from the first day of the war has been firm and unwavering. A free and sovereign Ukraine must win! - wrote President Andrzej Duda on social media.

Dziś mija 1000 dni od rozpoczęcia rosyjskiej pełnoskalowej inwazji na Ukrainę. Stanowisko Polski od pierwszego dnia wojny jest stałe i niezmienne. Niepodległa i suwerenna Ukraina musi zwyciężyć!

- This is impressive in light of the upcoming presidential elections. It's as if the current government is trying to eliminate its most dangerous opponents by simply limiting their capabilities, by cutting off financial resources and thereby distorting democratic rules – stated President Andrzej Duda at a press conference.

- These are very bad signals, and I can only express regret that the National Electoral Commission, which has functioned very well for the past dozen or so years, has now been staffed by the current parliamentary majority with people who are incapable of maintaining class and are incapable of maintaining the necessary political impartiality in this regard – he continued.

- It is very important that Russian imperialism is punished in Ukraine, that Russia simply does not win this war, so that it is not the case that Russia emerges from this war with its head held high, with territorial gains at the expense of Ukraine – President Andrzej Duda said at a press briefing.

- Russia, as can be seen, is a voracious monster that wants to seize other territories, to subordinate other nations, and unfortunately, we all fear, especially here in Central Europe, especially those who have ever experienced Russian occupation in their history, that this Russian imperialism is greedy and unstoppable – he continued.

- Here, we must pursue a consistent, tough policy of opposition to Russia and support for Ukraine, and this is the most important task, and in this regard, nothing has changed over these 1000 days of Russian aggression – he emphasized.

- These are attempts to humiliate and insult judges [PKW decision on so-called neo-judges] who diligently perform their duties, who have gone through the legally prescribed procedure adopted on democratic principles. They have gone through this procedure in accordance with all rules, and it is simply unworthy to degrade these judges because of some political hatred – Andrzej Duda said at a press briefing.

- Every action provokes a reaction, and therefore, if they want to deepen the state of political rivalry in our country, which is very bad and crosses the boundaries of good taste, and which unfortunately leads to something that can sadly be called political hatred, then let them continue to do so – he added.

– I have known Radosław Sikorski for many years. We were once on different sides of the political divide, but times have changed. We have a war on our doorstep, the threat is close, security issues will dominate political life for years to come, and certainly the upcoming presidential elections – stated Aleksander Kwaśniewski in a recording published on social media.

– Radosław Sikorski has extraordinary experience as a former Minister of Defence, many years as head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a man who knows politics, diplomacy, military issues, knows people, has many partners both overseas and here in Europe and around the world – he said.

– He has something else too. Because I know what presidential elections are like, I will modestly say, I also know how to win them. He has determination and the will to fight. Without fighting spirit, without the will to win, success is impossible. Radek Sikorski possesses these qualities – the former president emphasized.

– We need a president who is predictable, who can keep a cool head, a president who is accustomed to any situation and a president who can also handle crisis situations – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Wrocław.

- I have this feeling that, in a way, since 2020 I've been the candidate of PO, of KO, that I took on certain commitments then, on your behalf. We have a lot of scores to settle with PiS. That's what we need to focus on - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Wrocław.

- I am convinced that Donald Trump is a realist, a businessman. He is guided by intuition, and I am more than certain that he would not accept a result that could be interpreted as a victory for Putin. Because that would weaken the USA. I don't believe Trump would be able to accept something like this - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Wrocław.

– The City Hall definitely doesn't pay for my travels outside of work hours or on weekends. And these are things that set me apart from PiS politicians, who spent public money during the election campaign – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Wrocław.

- I said from the very beginning that I am in favour of civil partnerships, that we need to have solutions here. They are supported by a vast majority of Polish women and men, and today, if I am cautious in speaking about very specific solutions, it is because I hope that we will have a solution very soon, I have such signals, in this Sejm - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Wrocław.

- There are no current plans to introduce the euro. There are none, and this must be stated clearly: Poland must choose the right moment, and it will certainly not happen very quickly - stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Wrocław.

- This pace, as it is now, does not satisfy us. This money needs to reach people as quickly as possible, especially since it is secured in the state budget. Payouts have begun in Kłodzko, I am in constant contact with the mayor, and I hope the mayor has received the funds for these payouts for the initial applications prepared by his Social Welfare Centres, so I hope nothing will halt this process any further – said Marcin Kierwiński on TVP Info.

- This is a process that will take several months, maybe a dozen or so, I have no doubt about that, however, when it comes to paying out benefits, to helping people, this money must reach people within two to three weeks, I have no doubt about that – he added.
