- I don't have the impression that this is a signal. It's simply a commissioned poll, announced for weeks, that there would be a large poll on a large sample, in order to have knowledge and to be able to look at it and draw conclusions for these thousands of members - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- I have heard such opinions [that it's a kiss of death for Radosław Sikorski], but I don't think it will be decisive or convincing to the very end for the thousands of votes that will decide. People have their own minds, their own knowledge, they calculate their sympathies. For me, the most important thing is what happens the day after - he continued.

- There is a favorite, and everyone realizes this, they read these polls, and it seems that Rafał Trzaskowski is the favorite of this meeting, this clash, but everything is still open. We are talking about tens of thousands of votes - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Nothing happens twice, and they [PiS] truly have a very serious problem because they are hostages, PiS is today a hostage to Kaczyński's "genius." They believe that Kaczyński will certainly make a good decision, and they themselves do not have good decisions ahead of them, because they lack a good candidate who guarantees them an equal fight with the KO candidate - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in the "Piasecki Interview" on TVN24.

Niższa składka zdrowotna dla przedsiębiorców już w przyszłym roku, a od 2026 – dużo głębsza zmiana. Dotrzymujemy słowa, koalicja 15 X porozumiała się w tej trudnej sprawie.

- Yes [electricity prices should be frozen until the end of next year]. Of course, we have also secured funds in the budget for this, initially for 9 months, but we have also committed the companies. We have secured over PLN 5 billion in the budget for 2025 and at the same time, we have very clearly stipulated in the law that energy companies should present new, implicitly lower tariffs already in the first half of the year – stated Andrzej Domański in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

Nie porozumieliśmy się w sprawie składki na 2026 rok. Nie ma zgody @__Lewica na preferencyjne traktowanie JDG względem zarabiających tyle samo etatowców.

- We are dealing here with a significant reduction in the health contribution for many entrepreneurs, particularly those with lower earnings. It was very important for us that this is not aid for the biggest fat cats, but for small Polish entrepreneurs who, due to the Polish Deal, often had very serious problems with the contribution – stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- Lewica submitted remarks yesterday, and we will continue to work on these remarks at this parliamentary stage. I hope we will find an agreement here - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- We will be seeking an agreement. I hope we find one - added the Minister of Finance.

- As of today, the Ministry of Finance has halted the payment of this third tranche because, by operation of law, PiS was simply not entitled to it. The Ministry of Finance makes decisions and acts based on the decisions of the National Electoral Commission. There is no need to consult [with the Prime Minister] here – stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- In my assessment, yes [Christmas Eve is too high a cost for the budget]. We calculated in the Ministry of Finance, based on our models, that this is a cost for the economy at the level of PLN 4 billion, a cost for the budget at the level of PLN 2 billion 300 million, for this one big day. Thousands of small companies, shops, bakeries, these small businesses, then have quite high turnover. Personally, I will present arguments that this is a bad solution - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- This postulate, this commitment, remains relevant at all times, and I will want it to be fulfilled. Of course, what I can commit to is that I will do absolutely everything to ensure this postulate is realized during this term - stated Andrzej Domański on Radio Zet.

- I know that Radosław Sikorski cared deeply about this poll being conducted. It was one of his requests, he asked for it to be done quickly, with a large sample size. I think that whenever a poll turns out a little less favorably, we look for circumstances that might somewhat mitigate it, but the fact is that this is a very solid poll analysis, and it reflects the current mood in Poland – stated Jan Grabiec on the program "Gość poranka" on TVP Info.

- I think most KO members have formed an opinion about both politicians, because we've known them for many, many years, for over a decade, if not two decades, they've been active politicians. So, both politicians are very well known within Platforma and our coalition parties, and the assessment of both politicians' potential is very positive within PO – Jan Grabiec said on TVP Info.

- I don't know if [the primary result] is predetermined, but there is a favorite in this race and in the primaries, but this stems from the fact that Rafał Trzaskowski fought very well in the previous presidential campaign. He gained over 10 million votes in the second round. Many people believe that if the elections had been fair, he would be president today. Therefore, he is naturally the favorite – he continued.

- These many months of discussion have led to a situation where we are close to incorporating the Left's needs enough that perhaps the Left parliamentary club will want to support this [health contribution] project – said Jan Grabiec on TVP Info.

- No, it's not a question of wanting, it's about being president. Of course, if someone is in politics, and high politics at that, they want to be in it, they are not in it by accident, and they are not here because someone put them there. So, once you are at this level, you naturally want to go and compete in contests that really matter. However, it's not a matter of necessarily wanting to be president - stated Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- If polls show that I have the greatest chances, then certainly, if I receive such an offer from the PiS leadership, I will take up that gauntlet, I will run - he continued.

- I have been saying this in the media for a long time, that I am aware that God has endowed me with this ability, that indeed, I try to use it 100%, that I have considerable influence on the right and can mobilize the PiS electorate, but I also think that I am acceptable to other electorates from the right side of the political scene and from the center - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Plus.

- However, I also have this affliction that since I am so well heard on the right, I am even better heard on the left and mobilize that side. So I am aware that this is a weakness, and if this weakness turns out to be too detrimental in these surveys conducted by the authorities, then someone else will be the candidate, and I will gladly work very hard for the candidate that the leadership chooses - he continued.

- In some matters, I even agree with Konfederacja; in some matters, we could have been tougher; in some matters, we could have been less submissive. Konfederacja lacks the experience of governing and doesn't know that it's not as simple as saying whatever you want at any given moment. They can be viewed in terms of errors, not as errors themselves, if one doesn't know the circumstances under which specific decisions were made - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Plus.

- We are creating CPK as a large, commercially viable project, but above all, one that unites Poles and is based on a realistic timeline. This is a public service project, not a private fiefdom, which seems to have been forgotten in previous years. We know we are spending public funds and take responsibility for every zloty spent - stated Maciej Lasek in the Sejm.

- At this moment, the choice is being decided between two candidates: Przemysław Czarnek and Karol Nawrocki - said Ryszard Terlecki in an interview with Polsat News.

The PiS politician emphasized that "there are always surprises in such circumstances." - Although it will likely be one of these two - he added.

- I spoke with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and thanked the Polish people for their solidarity from the very first days of Russia’s full-scale invasion. I expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for his principled reaction to Russia’s recent attacks and efforts to break its political isolation - wrote Volodymyr Zelenskyy on social media.

- We discussed the upcoming 45th support package for Poland and its work on another defense aid package. I also shared my hopes for Poland’s leadership in the EU Council next year and their support in promoting Ukraine’s integration with the EU, including the opening of the first negotiation chapter and the parallel continuation of others - he added.

- I expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Tusk for leveraging his extensive personal contacts to advocate for Ukraine’s NATO membership and for continued defense support. We agreed to intensify our personal engagement and meet before the end of the year - he emphasized.

– Today I spoke with President Zelensky and Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau. Next week in Sweden, an extraordinary format: Scandinavian states plus Baltic states plus Poland. The West must have a unified stance regarding support for Ukraine and common security – he wrote on social media.

Dziś rozmawiałem z @ZelenskyyUa i premierem Kanady @JustinTrudeau, w przyszłym tygodniu w Szwecji nadzwyczajny format: państwa skandynawskie plus bałtyckie plus Polska. Zachód musi mieć jednolite stanowisko dotyczące wsparcia Ukrainy i wspólnego bezpieczeństwa.

- The second round will be decided in the electorate to our right. And here, even this poll, which my opponent is so happy about, shows that in the electorate of PSL and the Confederation, I am winning over more voters than he is - stated Radosław Sikorski in Łódź.

- This will be a test of the friendship between our President Andrzej Duda and Donald Trump, whom President Duda called an American hero. I hope that Andrzej Duda will have more influence on Donald Trump than PiS has on Viktor Orbán. I hope that Mr. President has not allowed himself to be used to gain votes from our compatriots in the United States. The true test of this friendship's effectiveness will be its impact on decisions concerning Ukraine – stated Radosław Sikorski at a meeting with Łódź residents.

- The vote will be secret and anonymous, so you can truly vote in the privacy of your own home, just as you wish. Not according to polls, not according to party officials' directives, but according to your own judgment as to who will be good at helping to steer the Polish ship of state through these truly challenging times that are emerging on the horizon – said Radosław Sikorski at a meeting with residents of Łódź.

- Admit it, if someone can rally a coalition from Giertych to Kwaśniewski, it means they know how to unite Poles – he added.

- We agreed on this. When creating the Third Way project, we agreed on two basic things. First, that this project would be designed for at least one term, and that within this coalition, we would nominate Marshal Hołownia as the presidential candidate. We agreed on this and we are consistent - stated Piotr Zgorzelski on TVP Info.

- That was our proposal – it doesn't change the fact that when Marshal Hołownia announced his candidacy, we supported him, but our proposal for a joint candidate remains on the table – stated Piotr Zgorzelski on TVP Info.

- Today I guarantee you that [after the presidential change] I will be one of the initiators and drafters of changes, so that the National Electoral Commission becomes an apolitical body again, so that judges with recognized authority in their community, about whom there will be no doubt that they have any political inclinations, will sit there - stated Piotr Zgorzelski on TVP Info.
