Political Friday: Trzaskowski and Nawrocki on the Road, Tusk and Grabiec at PRM Award Ceremony, Duda at November Uprising Observances

At 9:30 AM, Rafał Trzaskowski will visit a car mechanic's workshop in Karnowice, Lesser Poland.

At 10:00 AM, Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the Head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Jan Grabiec, will meet with the laureates of the PRM award for scientific achievements in 2023.

At 5:00 PM, on the courtyard of the Belvedere Palace, President of Poland Andrzej Duda will participate in a roll-call ceremony on the occasion of the Cadets' Day and the 194th anniversary of the outbreak of the November Uprising.

Friday also marks another intensive day of the presidential pre-campaign – at 5:30 PM in Głogów, a meeting is scheduled with the participation of Karol Nawrocki, the "civic" presidential candidate supported by PiS.


08:11

Patryk Jaki on Nawrocki’s Campaign Team:

Many Politicians of the New Generation.

- Yes [I am on Karol Nawrocki’s campaign team]. I think there are many politicians of the new generation there, also experienced in campaigns, so there are no big surprises. All the more so because we have generally won all major campaigns in the last decade, so we have something to draw from - stated Patryk Jaki in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News’s “Graffiti”.

- In Poland, there is such a system, and it's the same worldwide, that political parties participate in politics. However, this obviously doesn't change the fact that Karol Nawrocki, as he presented from the very beginning, wants to direct his offer much more broadly than just to the party. I think he is succeeding in this so far - he continued.


08:12

What the PiS Political Council is Signalling

- On Saturday [the PiS Political Council will officially endorse Karol Nawrocki's candidacy]. That's how it is [at Nowogrodzka] - stated Patryk Jaki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".


08:16

Jaki on Trzaskowski:

He’s a Left-Wing Radical.

- He [Rafał Trzaskowski] is trying to show he is a different person than he actually is. He is a left-wing radical who spent considerable money to remove crosses in Warsaw, is creating some kind of queer museum, or is leading some gender marches. I don't think everyone knows about this, but it's our job to show the truth in this election campaign - stated Patryk Jaki on Polsat News's "Graffiti" program.


08:27

Jaki on the Services Destroying Hołownia:

I Don't Rule It Out That It's So.

- I've been in politics for many years, I remember Donald Tusk's first government. It was natural that he was destroying coalition partners with the services. I don't rule out that it is so [that Donald Tusk is destroying them]. I'll put it very delicately, after all, this leak is from Bodnar's prosecutor's office or Tusk's services, certainly not from us. The evidence is clear here, they want to weaken a competitor - stated Patryk Jaki in "Graffiti" Polsat News.


08:30

Jaki on Ziobro:

He's Not Healthy Yet, But He Really Wants to Return.

- I cannot confirm [that Zbigniew Ziobro is returning to politics before Christmas], but I know that he is very eager, he would really like to return already, but everything depends on his health. It depends because tests are ongoing, he is constantly undergoing rehabilitation. So he is not yet a healthy person, but he would really like to return - stated Patryk Jaki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".


08:39

Raś:

I believe Hołownia that he did not study at Collegium Humanum
- This is a situation where he [Szymon Hołownia] feels it is an attack on him as a presidential candidate [...] we are reaching some absurdity. The university, which I think Szymon Hołownia and many people who considered studying at Collegium Humanum throughout its years of operation, are now afraid, because perhaps soon they will also be checked for thinking that someone is [a student of Collegium Humanum] - said Ireneusz Raś in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM. - I believe him that he did not study, that he did not undertake these studies. If Newsweek has any evidence for this, let them present it, instead of grilling step by step a marshal who bravely wants to fight for the office of president - he continued.

08:43

Raś:

Hołownia Will Reach the Second Round
- After all, Marek Sawicki will vote for Szymon Hołownia in the second round - Ireneusz Raś said on RMF FM, when asked about Marek Sawicki's words, who stated that he would not vote for Rafał Trzaskowski in the second round. - I believe Szymon Hołownia will reach the second round - he continued.

08:50

The National Election Commission Should Intervene, Certain Practices Are Unacceptable." Raś on Nawrocki's and Trzaskowski's Pre-Campaigns
- At this moment, it's difficult for me to imagine myself supporting [in the second round] a candidate from the Law and Justice party. Of course, the narrative of the President of the Institute of National Remembrance, Karol Nawrocki, is that he is independent, but he immediately made a certain mistake [...] he ran a slight campaign on the IPN's website. This is a false start to this way of thinking - Ireneusz Raś said on RMF FM. - Yes, this is where the National Election Commission should intervene, that certain practices are simply unacceptable, there needs to be a catalog, we could say, a decalogue of conduct - he continued after the host's remark, who stated that this is as scandalous as the authorities of various cities providing free halls for meetings with Rafał Trzaskowski.

08:50

Mucha:

We're Dealing With Leaks From Investigations, This Is Not Good
First and foremost, I would like to say that the theses presented in this publication are false. Szymon Hołownia submitted his documents to this university, but he did not undertake any studies there, he was not even physically present as a student, so these theses are simply false – stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet. This whole matter is such a fabrication that it's unbelievable. I think we are dealing with a situation that is not good. A situation where information constantly leaks from various investigations – she continued. When information leaked for us during the PiS government, we said it was bad. Today, information leaks from investigations, let's say, in the other direction, and some people consider it good. This is not good, information from investigations has no right to leak, period – she added.

08:54

Mucha on the Rector of Collegium Humanum:

He Produced Damaging Documents on Politicians, Celebrities.

- I think this man who ran this university truly had a radar for celebrities, for politicians, for all individuals who would be valuable to him. Consequently, when such documents appeared at his university, he would naturally hide them in a safe. Subsequently, he himself would produce papers, he himself would create documents that would incriminate these individuals – said Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.


08:57

Mucha on Flood Relief:

Aid Has Reached Most Schools.
I will not assign blame to anyone. I have the impression that on our side [the Ministry of Education] everything we could do has been done. Somewhere this aid was not delivered, but today we have a situation where our aid has been delivered to the majority of schools, to a very large group of children our aid has been delivered, to a very large group of children our aid has been delivered. Therefore, this situation is changing very rapidly, literally from day to day – said Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

08:58

Raś:

We're Going Too Far. There Should Be Two Lessons of Religion or Ethics
- We are appealing to our partners, and I want to say this clearly in this context, as this is our position, that we should not move from one extreme, the one presented by Minister Czarnek, to another – said Ireneusz Raś in RMF FM, when asked if he was concerned about Barbara Nowacka's actions at the Ministry of National Education (MEN). - I think we are going a bit too far in all these matters; I believe there should be two lessons of religion or two lessons of ethics – he continued.

08:58

Mucha on the New Subject - Health Education:

Sexualization Is Considered a Threat in Our Program.
We will certainly not give it up. This subject [health education] is dramatically important and dramatically needed, especially in today's times when the conditions for raising children have changed so much and their psychophysical well-being, we simply cannot give it up. We consistently say that sexualization is recognized as a threat in our program, we want to protect children from sexualization – stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

08:58

Will There Be One Religion Lesson? Mucha: We Are Determined to Implement This

- Let's set aside the Constitutional Tribunal; talks are ongoing with the church and the episcopate, but there is no agreement. Yesterday's meeting ended without consensus, and now the episcopate is requesting that the talks be moved to the level of the joint commission of the government and the episcopate. We will, of course, continue these discussions. However, as a ministry, we are truly determined to implement this change because people want this change [reducing the number of hours for religion classes] - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.


09:01

Raś on Potential Support for Trzaskowski in the Second Round:

I Would Have a Problem with That, But I'm Not Saying a Definitive No.
- As of today, I would have a problem with that, but I'm not saying a definitive no - said Ireneusz Raś on RMF FM, when asked if he was ready to support Rafał Trzaskowski in the second round of the elections.

09:03

Are Services or the Prosecutor's Office Framing Hołownia? Raś: It Needs to Be Investigated
- It needs to be investigated - said Ireneusz Raś on RMF FM when asked if the services or the prosecutor's office are framing Szymon Hołownia.

09:16

Siemoniak on Hołownia:

No Role for Services, No Leak.
- The matter is closed. Yesterday's statement by the Minister of Justice, Prosecutor General Adam Bodnar, who is the only person who can know all the materials on this issue, and who said he sees no signs of a crime or any reprehensible action, actually closes the case - said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Mariusz Piekarski on “Gość poranka” on TVP Info. - I can assure you that there is no role for the services, no leak from the services in these matters. Also, the Prime Minister Tusk's statement, who said he considers the Marshal's [Szymon Hołownia's explanation regarding Collegium Humanum] sufficient - I also think so - he continued. - I am absolutely convinced that neither the CBA nor the prosecution are the source of any leaks in this matter. There is no political game around this - emphasized the Minister of the Interior and Administration.

09:23

Siemoniak:

I spoke with Hołownia about Collegium Humanum 2-3 months ago
- Yes. About 2-3 months ago - said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVP Info's "Gość poranka" (Morning Guest), when asked if he had met with Szymon Hołownia regarding Collegium Humanum. - The Marshal invited me for a meeting, he explained what he is explaining publicly now. I told him that there are no actions by the services on this matter - the Marshal, by the way, refers to my statement - because there are none. Because there is no reason for such actions - he continued. - He invited me for a conversation, a minister comes to the Marshal. We talked about various things in a very friendly atmosphere, including this one - he indicated.

09:32

Siemoniak:

There are no people in the CBA connected to the previous management who did bad things
- 80% of all functionaries left the CBA a year ago in December, before I even became the coordinating minister – stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVP Info's "Gość poranka". As he emphasized: – There are no people in the CBA who are connected to the previous management and did bad things, because they all left or are the subject of various prosecutorial investigations. The Pegasus case, the Vienna expedition case, and so on.

09:42

Nawrocki Announces Leave of Absence from IPN. "Time for a Fair Play Move from My Competitors"
- In public life, just like in sports, you have to play fair play. That's why I've decided that when the Marshal of the Sejm calls the elections on January 8th, I will immediately go on leave from the Institute of National Remembrance. Leave until the end of the campaign - announced Karol Nawrocki. As he emphasized: - Now it's time for a fair play move from my competitors. Therefore, I expect both the Marshal of the Sejm and the President of Warsaw to commit to taking leave. - These party candidates already have an advantage right from the start. A financial advantage and a support base, as the head and deputy head of their party. Honesty towards Poles comes first - Nawrocki says in a recording published on the X portal.

10:20

Trzaskowski on Support for Family Businesses:

Transparency is Key, So That Taxes Don't Change Every Year.
- Unfortunately, these small family businesses have a multitude of problems. First and foremost, a lack of labor, especially concerning vocational education, which is, unfortunately, in a collapse [...] a very difficult tax situation, especially over the last 8 years due to the introduction of the so-called Polish Deal, because these taxes have been constantly changing - said Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference following a meeting with a car mechanic in Karniowice. - Also, environmental protection regulations, because there were no clear guidelines on what to do with, for example, batteries or oils, a lot of red tape [...]. Another issue is rates, because in such repair shops, most of these repairs are related to insurance, and unfortunately, these rates for such small businesses have hardly changed at all over the last dozen or so years - he continued. - It is extremely important for us that family businesses, such as these types of workshops, can continue to develop, because if they are closed down, large corporations will take over everything [...]. Transparency is the most important thing, the most important thing is that taxes do not change every year - he went on to say.

10:21

Tusk on Innovation in the EU:

We Have a Serious Gap to Close Regarding the USA and China.

- It is a fortunate coincidence that I am meeting with you a dozen or so hours after I spoke with the prime ministers of the Scandinavian and Baltic states, and quite surprisingly, a significant part of those conversations and meetings concerned what you deal with on a daily basis, namely science and innovation – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the PRM awards ceremony for scientific activity.

- It was quite obvious to everyone that the future of our world, and also the values on which this world of ours is built, this broadly understood West in a political-civilizational sense, will depend on whether we will be able to maintain Europe, and Poland within it, in terms of creativity, innovation, science, and knowledge. And if our states and the EU as a whole do not overdo it with regulations that can stifle, or sometimes hinder scientific research, and certainly today at this crucial moment, this capacity of the state, society, scientists, and business, the ability to apply your discoveries in practical life — he continued.

- We have a very serious gap to close, when it comes to today's scientific-civilizational centers. The United States, China – he emphasized.


10:23

Trzaskowski on the Suspension of the Clean Air Program:

We Will Intervene, We Will Make Decisions.
- We are hearing all sorts of voices, and we will intervene here, we will make decisions. This program is very much needed, so I am hearing these kinds of voices, local government officials have also informed me about this, we actually have a meeting of the Union of Polish Metropolises in an hour, we will also discuss this - said Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference, when asked about the suspension of the Clean Air program.

10:30

Trzaskowski on Hołownia and Collegium Humanum:

I've Known Him for Many Years, I Assume Everything He Says is True.
- We have all commented on this matter, both Prime Minister Donald Tusk and myself. We absolutely believe what Marshal Hołownia says, I have known him for many, many years, so of course, I assume everything he says is true - Rafał Trzaskowski said at a press conference. - I am only appealing for all our supporters to lower their emotions, especially on social media, because within the ruling coalition, we are engaged in a friendly rivalry and we want to compete with each other in a positive way - he continued. - I hope, of course, that these emotions that have arisen will not affect the ruling coalition. Prime Minister Tusk has spoken very clearly on this matter, stating that if anyone in the ruling coalition tried to undermine coalition partners in such a way, they would immediately lose their job. There is no tolerance for such behavior. I heard the Prime Minister's words and I absolutely agree with them - he went on to say.

12:57

Trzaskowski Explains Remarks on CPK:

Please Don't Manipulate My Words.
Stop manipulating, because I was only and exclusively asking about the previous government's plans, and indeed, carried out by PiS, it was megalomania completely unprepared. Ideas about building the world's largest airport, for which there were no plans and justification – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference. Ideas about liquidating Okęcie, where you cannot develop an airport if Okęcie is not expanded. Of course, for me as the mayor of Warsaw, the future of Okęcie is important. PiS had no answer on how LOT should develop, how we want to solve issues related to air traffic, if the PiS governments had no ideas at all about what would actually happen at this airport – he continued. However, the situation is different now. Finally, someone competent has taken up this project, finally clearly justified it, saying that it is to be a very large transfer hub, which will be one of the dominant ports in Europe, but finally a network of connections will be prepared, it will be linked to the development of LOT, because otherwise there is no point in building this type of airport if the national carrier is not being developed. We must first expand Okęcie so that LOT can develop, and only in the next step, while preserving Okęcie for other functions, which is important to me, can this proper airport be built in a completely substantive way – emphasized the mayor of Warsaw. So I very much ask you not to manipulate my words and to assess the situation clearly. The project was one thing when it was conceived; it was completely unprepared and indeed looked like nothing more than a pipe dream. It is another thing today, when it is very concrete, and in this form, it is truly needed by Poland – he added.

12:59

Program:

We Are Concerned. We Will Demand That This Program Be Continued." Trzaskowski on the "Clean Air

- I confirm that this has greatly concerned us, and we will, of course, demand that this program be continued. We are all fighting for clean air. If we want to act consistently here, this program should be continued, and I trust that it will be continued – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference.


13:03

Trzaskowski Responds to Nawrocki:

He has a Serious Problem.

- Karol Nawrocki has a serious problem. This is because the act on the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) states that the president should be an independent person. Therefore, the support of PiS for a candidate for the President of Poland clearly clashes with the function that Mr. President holds. As for the question that you are asking me today, I answer it daily and have been answering it for many years. I have adopted a system that is extremely transparent, which perhaps no one else has adopted in such a transparent way since 2020 - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference.

- My stance is exactly the same and unchanging. If I am in Warsaw, I perform my duties, cooperate with local government officials, deal with Warsaw or local government issues, I am working. The moment I am not engaged in election campaigning for the whole day, I have always taken leave and will continue to take leave. Exactly the same stance consistently for many years - he continued.


13:05

Trzaskowski:

No Cross Was Removed
No cross was removed, the decision was made solely for the future, and yes, I stand firmly by that position. In public spaces where our citizens are served, these places should be completely neutral in terms of worldview - stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference.

13:35

My Notebook is Increasingly Filled with Important Remarks and Demands. Trzaskowski After Visiting a Car Workshop
Mr. Tadeusz runs a car workshop in Karniowice, Małopolska. And although he is a skilled professional who has been successful in the local market for years, he points to specific problems he has to face. This is the tax mess that arose after the "Polish Deal", which was probably ironically named. It is the lack of hands for work and the poor condition of vocational education. It is complicated environmental regulations. It is the problem with rates for numerous insurance-related repairs that have not been updated for years - wrote Rafał Trzaskowski on X portal. - These are the challenges that smaller businesses like Mr. Tadeusz's workshop face on a daily basis. And it is precisely these small and medium-sized family businesses that are the foundation of the Polish economy. That is why the state must provide them with good and stable operating conditions. Transparent regulations, simple taxes, reduction of bureaucracy. This is concrete - he emphasized. - Thank you for this conversation. My notebook is increasingly filled with important remarks and demands that come directly from you. We're moving on – to talk about your matters - he added.

14:08

German Patriot System in Poland. Kosiniak-Kamysz: It will be one battery in a different area than the American batteries
- It will be one Patriot battery, with the Americans remaining in Jasionka within the Patriot system, which was also very important, NATO is taking greater responsibility for security on the eastern flank, also an effect of our work and actions - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with journalists. - Yes, this concerns Jasionka, of course it will not be deployed where the American batteries are, it will be deployed in a different area, which also increases the operational range and provides greater security - he continued, when asked about the words of the German Minister of National Defence that it concerns the protection of the logistics hub supplying Ukraine.

14:38

Sonik:

A rebellion is stirring within me. I am against fighting democracy
- When I hear today from the leaders of the ruling camp that the system needs to be finalized through the presidential elections, that we have a fighting democracy, and that essentially this largest competitive party should be removed from the political market, a certain rebellion simply arises within me - said Bogusław Sonik in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" (The Core of the Matter). - I am for pluralism, against fighting democracy. I am for pluralistic democracy - he continued.

14:40

Sonik on Nawrocki:

It Made Sense to Support a Candidate Outside the Party Apparatus
- I believe that a certain kind of balance and pluralism should also prevail in public institutions. Therefore, it seems sensible to me that supporting a candidate who is outside the party apparatus, even though naturally supported by that group, was and is a sensible move - said Bogusław Sonik in “The Heart of the Matter” on Radio Plus.

16:56

Schetyna on the Collegium Humanum Scandal:

This Was All Constructed, Perhaps Even for Thousands of PiS Politicians.
- I am generally astonished because this issue of Collegium Humanum is becoming such a widely publicized problem, it touches or affects local government officials, representatives of the state - said Grzegorz Schetyna in the "Afternoon Conversation" on PR24. - I am surprised because the entire construct of the creation of this idea for MBA studies, the political oversight that state authorities had over this university during the PiS government [...] all of this was, after all, constructed for tens, hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of PiS politicians, who in this way received the opportunity to earn extra money on the supervisory boards of State Treasury companies - he continued. - Today I do not see, I do not hear about the names of PiS politicians who were involved in this, who led it, while I hear about isolated cases that currently concern the ruling party. [...] I am a proponent of revealing everything, and then addressing these pathological actions - he added.

17:01

A Spot Invites to Trzaskowski's Convention:

President for All Times.

Civic Coalition (KO) associates are inviting people to a convention on December 7th, inaugurating Rafał Trzaskowski's presidential campaign. The clip uses statements from the Warsaw Mayor's previous meetings. Sławomir Nitras published a spot on social media with the caption "President for All Times," which could be the campaign's slogan.


17:01

Schetyna:

I Trust Marshal Hołownia
- My impression is that this [releasing information regarding the Collegium Humanum affair] is indeed serving to build a kind of wall of distrust between important politicians of the ruling coalition - Grzegorz Schetyna said on PR24. - Without trust, there is no building of good, effective politics. It must exist, because this coalition has no alternative. [...] Everything must be clarified from A to Z, and I also have trust in Marshal Hołownia - he continued.

17:07

Election Campaign Already Underway? Schetyna: Such Activity from Politicians Aspiring to Such an Important Role is Absolutely Justified
- I believe that such political, public activity from politicians, especially those aspiring to such an important role [of president], is absolutely justified. I see nothing wrong or bad in it - said Grzegorz Schetyna on PR24, responding to a question about the actual start of the election campaign in connection with Rafał Trzaskowski's recent actions (including visits to a bakery and a car repair shop).

17:09

The Left Sets a Date for Announcing Presidential Candidate

The Left is revealing its hand – in 2 weeks, over a weekend, their presidential candidate will be presented.



The Left is fighting for the second round! ✊

The candidate will be announced on December 15th. The presidential campaign is an opportunity to present a comprehensive, left-wing vision for the country. We want to give Poles the chance to get acquainted with our idea for the state and use this time to convince them to...


17:12

What Would It Take for Trzaskowski to Lose? Schetyna: After 2015, No One Will Risk Such an Opinion
- No one after 2015 will risk such an assessment, such an opinion. I also say very clearly: it will be a very difficult, long campaign, there will be many twists and turns, many things will happen in it. But I am convinced that in the end, Rafał Trzaskowski will win - said Grzegorz Schetyna in PR24, when asked if he would risk stating that it is unknown what would have to happen for Rafał Trzaskowski to lose the election.

17:49

"The Hall is Bursting at the Seams." Szefernaker: Nawrocki Went Out to Those Who Couldn't Get In

- GŁOGÓW NOW! #Nawrocki2025 Meeting. The hall is bursting at the seams. Another over 200 people are standing outside the hall. The Presidential Candidate went out to those who couldn't get into the hall! There's power! - Paweł Szefernaker wrote on social media.


18:07

Nawrocki criticizes aid for flood victims:

These are conditions and amounts that should never appear.

- I have been observing the issue of the Polish state's care for flood victims for some time. I observe this, dear viewers, with deep dread, not looking at the emotions of political parties and purely parliamentary and Sejm discussions, which must naturally take place, but as a civic presidential candidate, I think about Poles. Will we, dear viewers, be ready to clearly and boldly assume that we are a state where a flood catastrophe repeats itself from time to time, and if this tragedy occurs, are we prepared to help Poles who have been affected by this catastrophe? – stated Karol Nawrocki in Głogów.

- Both the amount of 100,000 PLN for administrative buildings and 200,000 PLN for residential buildings is, of course, insufficient. The assumption that only households where the roof is destroyed as a result of the flood can receive 100% of the benefit. Dear viewers, these are state aid conditions that should never appear – he continued.


18:13

Nawrocki on the Judiciary:

Let's Not Let Them Take Poland Away From Us

- These judges in the 1990s did not have to submit self-criticism for serving the communist state and issuing disgraceful verdicts against activists of the communist opposition. Let's not let them take Poland away from us and let's stop this chaos, also in the justice system. How? Through the ballot, but also through your engagement and support for a civic candidate - stated Karol Nawrocki in Głogów.


19:06

Nawrocki:

Article 7 of the Polish Constitution, Concerning the Rule of Law, is Regularly Violated
Regarding the question about prosecutors, dear friends, we are essentially in a situation where Article 7 of the Polish Constitution, pertaining to the rule of law, is being violated regularly. We are, in fact, living in times of such profound chaos in the justice system that I, as a person born in 1983, have not known such times until 2024 – said Karol Nawrocki in Głogów. - After all, we Poles, when we watch public broadcasts, no longer actually know who is a Polish judge and who is not, what a neo-judge means, what a non-neo-judge means – are you not getting lost in all of this, dear friends? – he continued.

19:06

Nawrocki:

I Will Use All the Powers of the President of the Republic of Poland to Tell Poles We Live in a State of Law

- We [the current government] can break the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, we can create a democracy without the adjective, we can force judges of the National Council of the Judiciary to make self-criticism, which is unequivocally associated [with past regimes]. Why? Because they did something a year ago, that's the only answer, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a direction towards fixing the Polish state. This is a direction towards the total destabilization of the Polish judicial system – stated Karol Nawrocki in Głogów.

- I will use all my energy and all the competencies of the President of the Republic of Poland to finally be able to tell Poles that we live in a state of law and that there are no neo-judges and non-neo-judges, because such a category does not exist in the Polish legal system – he emphasized.


19:06

Nawrocki Slams Trzaskowski Over Crosses:

In Poland, There Are Symbols You Don't Touch, Even If You Don't Believe.
We should all step back in our political and party disputes for the good of Poland, but always stand on the foundation of what is most important to us, and this relates to something that greatly astonished me. Because one of my opponents removed crosses from offices in the capital, and now I know how difficult and demanding for everyone, and often unattainable, is the grace of faith – said Karol Nawrocki in Głogów. In Poland, there are symbols you don't touch; even if you don't believe and don't have the grace of faith, you cannot deny that the Polish state has been built on a Christian foundation for over a thousand years, and a symbol of this Christian foundation is the cross, a symbol of mercy, of the victory of good over evil – he continued.

20:15

Budka on Reports Regarding Hołownia:

The Polish State Has Nothing to Do with Journalists' Publications.
- There is a clear statement from the Minister of Interior. I think someone here has watched too much political fiction. Szymon Hołownia’s statement is clear, legible. If he believes that journalists from a very serious weekly magazine have in some way engaged in manipulation or published falsehoods, he has the appropriate recourse, but the Polish State has nothing to do with journalists' publications - Borys Budka said in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News's “Gość Wydarzeń” (Guest of Events). - Those times are over – when, in the PiS era, government television would churn out information from the prosecutor's office on political orders - he added.

20:21

Budka Responds to Hołownia: I Wouldn't Play the Victim. Conspiracy Theories Don't Suit a Sejm Marshal
- I wouldn't demonize one publication, I wouldn't play the victim like that. Above all, building an entire conspiracy theory is unbecoming. I trust the Polish state. The Marshal of the Sejm should also have trust - said Borys Budka in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News. - However, this is a journalistic publication. As far as I know, the Marshal was featured on the cover of this weekly. He didn't seem to have any major issues then. If he believes his personal rights have been violated, there are appropriate legal steps for that - he emphasized.

20:23

Budka on Hołownia and Collegium Humanum:

No Services Are Interfering in the Marshal's Private Affairs.
- No services are interfering in the Marshal's private affairs. […] I believe his statement. Since he claims he never studied, that he did not undertake studies there [at Collegium Humanum], that closes the matter for me. There are materials in the prosecutor's office, and I suspect the prosecutor's office will comment on this matter, and for me, the Marshal's statement is sufficient - said Borys Budka on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
