Szydło on the Green Deal:

Tusk Agrees and Continues to Agree to Everything Implemented by the EC.

- No [Donald Tusk will not block the Green Deal]. Because Donald Tusk agreed and continues to agree to everything implemented by the EC, essentially by Ursula von der Leyen, because today the EC is actually pushing von der Leyen’s projects and programs; the commissioners are very weak, and she wants to call the shots, have the decisive voice - stated Beata Szydło in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

08:35

Szydło on Romanowski:

The hunt for him is even more astonishing.

– From what we have heard, what his defender conveyed, Mr. Romanowski is seriously ill, so this hunt for him right now is even more astonishing and it truly crosses all boundaries – stated Beata Szydło on Radio Zet.

– Member of Parliament Romanowski never shied away from appearing either at the prosecutor’s office or giving explanations when he was asked to. I don’t understand this entire witch hunt, it’s purely political revenge – she added.

08:35

Szydło:

No politician from the United Right being pursued by the current authorities has broken the law

- None of the Law and Justice, United Right politicians who are currently being pursued by the current authorities have broken the law. Of course, the judiciary exists to resolve doubts if they exist and to conduct proceedings, so let the prosecution deal with what it should be dealing with. Courts are for issuing verdicts, while the government is for governing and solving the problems that are most important to people right now - stated Beata Szydło on Radio Zet.

08:39

"He Can Connect with People." Szydło on Nawrocki’s "Excellent Campaign"

I believe Karol Nawrocki is running an excellent election campaign, and here congratulations to Paweł Szefernakier and the whole team. Because with these limited resources, as PiS is supporting Karol Nawrocki, ZP is supporting this candidate and we want him to win, he must primarily, and he is doing this, meet with people, talk to them, help them, and present his proposal for the presidency. And after these first few weeks, it’s clear he is very active, hardworking, and most importantly, he can connect with people, and that’s how you win,” stated Beata Szydło on Radio Zet.

08:45

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

The Solution to the Constitutional Tribunal Problem Lies in Amending the Constitution
- The solution to the problem in the Constitutional Tribunal lies on the table: amending the Constitution. There is no other topic than amending the Constitution. I am interested in meeting with all those who can vote for changes to the Constitution, meaning parliamentarians - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Maciej Głogowski on "Poranek TOK FM". - Such a law has been adopted and agreed upon within the coalition, so here we already have support, but of course, for changes to the Constitution, votes from the PiS side are needed. If PiS is interested in repairing the justice system and has even a shred of decency [...] they should look in the mirror, apologize for dismantling the justice system, and try to fix it - he continued. - There will be no repair as long as there isn't a new chapter on the Constitutional Tribunal - he added.

08:48

Szydło:

Today, PiS is the leading party in the polls

- Today, PiS is the leading party in the polls, because the latest polls show that we are the political grouping that Poles most willingly choose – stated Beata Szydło on Radio Zet.

08:52

He Became Marshal of the Sejm Also Because This Position Facilitates a Run for President. Kosiniak-Kamysz on Hołownia
- Yes - Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said on TOK FM when asked if Szymon Hołownia was his candidate for president. - We will make the final decision at the National Council, as the most democratic formation in the Polish parliament, and we want to discuss this next Saturday, but this is the season we agreed on. First, a run in parliamentary, local, and European elections, with the presidential election as the finale - he continued when asked if he was also the PSL's candidate. - It wasn't for nothing that he became Marshal of the Sejm; apart from his great abilities in leading, it's also because it's a position that facilitates a run for president - he went on to say. - It's not about a springboard, it's about a position that offers an opportunity. It's much easier to run when you are independent in this regard, meaning you are not a member of, for example, the Council of Ministers, which collectively bears responsibility. There are many things that are hierarchical, whereas here there is independence - he added.

08:59

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Europe Must Spend More on Security, Not to Replace Americans, but to Keep Them
- Europe must do more for security, for spending, it must spend more money on security, not because it has to replace Americans in Europe, but in order to keep Americans in Europe - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in TOK FM. - I think these sharp words from President Trump will make many move faster in this whole area - he continued.

09:30

Bodnar Responds to Wrzosek's Words:

Perhaps I'm a Bit Old-Fashioned...

- I received this with some surprise, especially since Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek, just a month ago, decided to accept a delegation to the Ministry of Justice. She currently works as a prosecutor in a district prosecutor's office, delegated to the Ministry of Justice, that's the first thing – stated Adam Bodnar on the program "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- Secondly, perhaps I am a bit old-fashioned, but I believe that in professional relationships there are principles such as loyalty, and loyalty for me means that if you have any reservations, you communicate them to your superior first – he continued.

09:31

Bodnar:

Prosecutor Wrzosek Must Decide Who She Wants to Be in Public Life
I think that Prosecutor Wrzosek herself must make a decision in such a situation. I think that is the answer to the question of who Prosecutor Wrzosek actually wants to be in public life. I think she asks us all this question every day – said Adam Bodnar on Polsat News.

Let's not forget about the path that Prosecutor Wrzosek has taken, which is fighting for a rule-of-law, democratic state, as well as certain personal consequences she has endured in the context of surveillance and various disciplinary proceedings. But I think we are in new times now and we need to answer the questions of what people like Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek should do and what they should engage in in this new Poland – he continued.

09:50

Bodnar on Romanowski:

This is not a political circus, there's a fear of influencing the investigation.
- This is not a political circus. This arrest was presented as a necessary preventive measure, given that there may be various additional circumstances in this case, related to the charges made, and there is a fear, firstly, of obstruction and, in this way, influencing the course of further proceedings. In essence, each passing day brings new information about the Fundusz Sprawiedliwości. It shows how significant this matter is. I will keep repeating that in this case, we have perhaps only uncovered about one-third of the problem so far – stated Adam Bodnar on Polsat News. "The case is developing and indicates the responsibility of those who were above Romanowski." Bodnar on the Fundusz Sprawiedliwości case - The case is developing and indicates the responsibility not only of the person who held the position of Deputy Minister of Justice responsible for the Fundusz Sprawiedliwości, but also of those who were above him. Please note that in this case, Jarosław Kaczyński himself sent letters to Zbigniew Ziobro, saying: do something about the matter, there might be trouble in the context of the election campaign – he continued.

Waiting for Fuel at 5.19 PLN and EU Regulations: Nawrocki on the Challenges Facing Polish Transport Company Owners
- The gentlemen I'm with, who are owners of transport companies in Poland, are still waiting for gasoline, for diesel at 5.19, they took this promise very seriously because, as we know, the prices of diesel and gasoline fundamentally affect the operation of transport companies - said Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.

- Polish transport companies are one of Poland's greatest successes in recent years. [...] 20% of the entire European Union market is served by Polish transport companies. Polish transport companies are leaders in all types of transport - he continued.

- I am talking to people who, on one hand, are deeply disappointed by unfulfilled promises, and on the other hand, are affected by regulations coming from the European Union without deeper social reflection and contemplation on how these administrative, bureaucratic decisions will impact the functioning of the Polish sector, a specific sector of the economy - he went on to say.

- All this movement is driven by our western neighbor, Germany, which, in pursuing its economic policy, encourages the European Union to introduce regulations that do not consider the interests of Polish entrepreneurs. [...] Transport companies have been ordered to change their tachographs to technologically more advanced ones, manufactured in Germany - he added.

- The voice of Polish entrepreneurs amidst this cacophony of bureaucratic and administrative decisions by the European Union [...] will be the subject of my deep concern as a civic candidate for the President of the Republic of Poland - he emphasized.

09:59

Bodnar on the Indictment Regarding Macierewicz:

It's a Matter of Weeks.

- This investigation team appointed by me consists of 8 experienced prosecutors; they are not wasting a day or a week. I think it's a matter of weeks, perhaps months, before we see some very concrete results [regarding Macierewicz]. Every case must have its rhythm, but it also needs a plan of action that is clear to the public, showing that the prosecution is not delaying, and that it is conducting cases with the utmost commitment – stated Adam Bodnar on Polsat News.

10:00

Bodnar:

We Must Consider a Technical Bill to Transfer Election Validity Rulings to Another Supreme Court Chamber

- Currently in Poland, the Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Chamber does not fulfill this role [of an independent court] for all participants in political life. I think we need to seriously consider, across political divides, a technical bill that perhaps transfers the competencies for ruling on election validity to another chamber of the Supreme Court, or perhaps to a full panel of the Supreme Court – said Adam Bodnar on Polsat News.

10:00

Bodnar on Ziobro and Matecki in the context of the Fundusz Sprawiedliwości:

It's hard not to have the impression that these individuals must be subject to prosecutorial interest.

- I think it's too early to say that this motion already exists, but it's hard not to have the impression that these individuals [Zbigniew Ziobro and Dariusz Matecki] must also be subject to prosecutorial interest in this matter [the Fundusz Sprawiedliwości] – Adam Bodnar said on Polsat News.

10:01

Bodnar Responds to Święczkowski's Proposal Regarding the Constitutional Tribunal:

I Don't Think There's Any Chance for Compromise on This Matter.
- This is a new initiative that hasn't appeared in public debate before, but I think we must constantly remember how, when, and thanks to whom Prosecutor Bogdan Święczkowski got into the Constitutional Tribunal. He was previously a prosecutor, headed the Internal Security Agency under the so-called first PiS government, then ran on the PiS list and became an MP on the PiS list. Later, his mandate was revoked, and then he returned to the prosecution service and, for a good number of years as National Prosecutor, together with Zbigniew Ziobro, built this politicized prosecution service – stated Adam Bodnar on Polsat News. - In other words, I have no trust in this type of declaration from Judge Święczkowski that this is about any kind of compromise. I don't think there's any chance for that – he emphasized.

10:02

Bodnar on the case of Kurski's son:

From Monday, the investigation in this case will be reopened.

- Absolutely, there are no political pressures involved here, but it cannot be the case that we can tolerate such a fundamental matter, from the perspective of protecting minors and victims, being simply dismissed with impunity by the prosecution. If the Internal Affairs Bureau, a serious institution within the prosecution service, independently and autonomously decides that such a case should be dealt with, then other prosecutors to whom it was directed should have done so – Adam Bodnar said in Polsat News.

- Yesterday, or actually on Monday, the Deputy Regional Prosecutor in Poznań made the decision to reopen the case, and of course, an investigation will be conducted in this matter – he added.

10:06

Nawrocki Appeals to Tomczyk:

A Fake Account Can Expose Your Lack of Competence.
- A serious politician, and especially a Deputy Minister [Cezary Tomczyk], should not fall victim to a fake, if Poland's security is in the hands of a person who ignites like a match in one second, thinking that a civic presidential candidate has such a fake account, it means we are dealing with an unserious person – said Karol Nawrocki at a press conference. - I appeal to the Minister, Mr. Minister, Poland's security is in your hands, and a fake Facebook account is capable of exposing your lack of competence. A little seriousness, Poles need security [...] more thoughtfulness, a smile Mr. Minister, more distance from all of this – he continued.

10:10

Nawrocki on 'Fakes' Created by 'Bad People':

You Must Be Prepared.
- Another minister, the minister coordinator of special services, recently announced that a special team is being formed to combat a civic candidate for the President of the Republic of Poland. Therefore, you must all be prepared that we will be flooded with fakes, flooded with information that is certainly not my creation, but the creation of bad people who have not matured to the point where a civic candidate can become the President of the Republic of Poland - said Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.

11:25

Trzaskowski:

I've Always Spoken of Building Community

– We can end the Polish-Polish war when it comes to citizens. This is absolutely my goal, I've always spoken of building community, of the need to try to focus one's attention on issues that unite us, and that's what we're doing, and I am convinced that when it comes to Polish society, we will be able to bury these divisions and above all try to establish a fundamental possibility of talking to each other – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference.

– I've always been oriented this way, but when it comes to the monthly commemoration, it's simply the actions of politicians who themselves try to heat up the atmosphere, and that's the effect it has. Unfortunately, I have very limited influence over PiS politicians, but when it comes to the ability to engage in dialogue, the attempt to lower these emotions, I have always done it and will always do it – he continued.

12:39

TVN and Polsat on the List of Strategic Companies. Tusk Announces Regulation

- I have made a decision, it will take the form of a Council of Ministers regulation, we will adopt this regulation next week, so as to cut short all speculation - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the Prime Minister of Estonia.

- I have decided that the regulation concerning the list of entities subject to protection and their respective control bodies will be supplemented with TVN and Polsat television stations - he continued.

- They will be placed on the list of strategic companies that are protected, for example, against hostile takeovers that are aggressive and dangerous from the perspective of Poland's state interests - the prime minister added.

12:45

Tusk:

I Want to Confirm Rumors About Interest from the East in Acquiring Media Outlets

- I want to confirm these rumors or whispers that we are finding interested parties from the East or in the East regarding the potential takeover of media or influencing media operations in Poland. In the context of this action I mentioned, this action is very serious - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the Prime Minister of Estonia.

- This decision to supplement this list means that without the consent of the Polish government, it will not be possible to take over or purchase companies that are on this strategic list - he continued.

- We will not back down, we will not allow hostile states to interfere brazenly, as happened in Romania or recently in Moldova, or in many other places, in our daily lives, in our economy, or in electoral processes. This model looks identical everywhere, for example, when it comes to political elections, especially presidential ones, which was particularly evident in the last case, the model is always the same: an anti-European, independent, anti-elite candidate who will finally free their country from European guardianship and make it truly sovereign - emphasized the head of government.

12:52

Tusk:

We Agreed on a Visit and Return Visit with Zelensky

- I had the opportunity to speak at length with President Zelensky yesterday. We agreed on a visit and a return visit in the coming days. I will be in Ukraine at the beginning of the year, and President Zelensky will come to us at this important moment when Poland takes over the EU presidency - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with the Prime Minister of Estonia.

12:52

Szczurek-Żelazko:

The Current Coalition Has Damaged What PiS Built Over 8 Years in Healthcare

- Waiting times were supposed to be eliminated, Minister Leszczyna announced. A dental voucher was also announced, which was intended to be used for both preventive and therapeutic services. The creation of district health centers was announced, which were supposed to increase access to healthcare services and diagnostics. Increased spending on healthcare and the elimination of queues were announced. Not only has none of this been achieved, but the current ruling coalition has damaged what PiS built over 8 years to improve the functioning of the Polish healthcare system – stated Józefa Szczurek-Żelazko at a press conference.

12:52

Szczurek-Żelazko on Healthcare Funding:

When the December 13th Coalition Took Power, It Turned Out There Was No Money and There Won't Be Any,

- In 2015, when we took responsibility for the country and for healthcare, 76 billion zlotys were allocated to healthcare. By the end of 2023, this had already risen to over 190 billion, so we clearly increased healthcare spending and also improved the financing of salaries for healthcare workers – said Józefa Szczurek-Żelazko at a press conference.

- When the December 13th coalition took responsibility, it suddenly turned out that there was no money in the system and there wouldn't be any, and this led to a limitation in the availability of services – she added.

13:18

Kaleta Publishes Law Excerpts:

Tusk is flagrantly breaking the law.

- Only such entities can be entered on the list of companies whose turnover is subject to government control. There are no companies engaged in media activities on that list - Sebastian Kaleta wrote on social media.

- Tusk is flagrantly breaking the law so that his propaganda mouthpiece does not change owners - emphasized the PiS MP.

13:37

Kaczyński on CPK and Olefins III:

They are destroying everything that could bring Poland development. We all know who benefits.
- The steamroller of the December 13th coalition has already rolled over CPK, and now over Olefins III - the largest petrochemical investment in Europe, which was to be built by Orlen. Lack of ambition, complexes, micromanagement. They are destroying everything that could bring Poland development. Who does this serve? We all know - and it's not for Poles - Jarosław Kaczyński wrote on X.

13:56

Kierwiński:

Municipalities in Flood-Prone Areas Can Access BGK Housing Program by Next Week

- By next week, all municipalities here in flood-prone areas can take advantage of BGK's housing program. Many municipalities have already submitted their applications, but within these funds, purchases will also be made here by the mayor. We are still refining the last details to support the city's housing needs – stated Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference in Kłodzko.

13:57

Subsidies for Flood-Affected Municipalities Divided. Kierwiński: Most Municipalities Will Receive a Significant Cash Injection

- The Minister of Finance, together with the Minister of Interior and Administration, has divided the general reserve of subsidies for flood-affected municipalities, which is what I am dealing with. I believe this is good news; most of these municipalities will receive a significant cash injection. In the case of Kłodzko, it's around 25 million zlotys – said Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference in Kłodzko.

14:12

Polish Countryside and Agriculture Need Special Support. Nawrocki at a Meeting with Farmers in Wola Krzysztoporska
Very interesting conversations of the candidate for President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, with farmers from the Municipality of Wola Krzysztoporska. The Polish countryside and our agriculture require special support! - wrote Karol Nawrocki's campaign team on social media.

14:21

Mentzen Calls on Trzaskowski to Terminate Last Generation's Lease Agreement
- I have written an open letter to the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, calling on him to terminate the lease agreement for the premises used by Ostatnie Pokolenie (Last Generation) — Sławomir Mentzen wrote on social media.

14:38

Obajtek on Tusk's Announcement:

An Ignorant Gang. TVN Doesn't Belong to Poland.
An ignorant gang. TVN doesn't belong to Poland, but to the American concern Discovery. Surely you won't list Discovery as a strategic company? The owner can change statutory bodies as they wish. You lack elementary knowledge - Daniel Obajtek wrote on social media.

40 Billion PLN to Arrive in Poland for Christmas: Ministry of Funds Denies Reports of KPO Payment Freeze
The Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy has gladly noted the European Commission's approval of the payment requests for the 2nd and 3rd tranches of the National Reconstruction Plan (KPO). Consequently, as announced by Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, an additional 40 billion PLN from the KPO will reach Poland by Christmas. This fact unequivocally refutes irresponsible media reports alleging that the European Commission has halted payments from the KPO, the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy stated in an official release. The approval of these requests marks the conclusion of the first stage in catching up on two years of KPO investment backlogs. We will invest the 40 billion PLN for the holidays in Poland's development. These funds will be allocated, among other things, to purchasing equipment and renovating oncology hospitals, modernizing energy grids, and constructing Polish wind farms in the Baltic Sea, the ministry informed. Further Payment Requests in December Ambitious goals lie ahead. Still in December, we will submit further payment requests to the European Commission. This will initiate a multi-month process of evaluating the reforms and investments included in these requests, MFiPR announced. What About Social Security Contributions for Civil Law Contracts? In the first quarter of next year, the second revision of the KPO, which we have announced, will commence. It will encompass a range of topics important from Poland's and the European Commission's perspective, including the issue of mandatory social security contributions for civil law contracts. The Polish government is keen on finding a solution that will enhance social protection for employees in Poland without reducing the net income of Poles. The Council of Ministers will set the final negotiation mandate for the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy regarding the KPO revision, the statement continued. Plans for 2025 In 2025, we also plan to submit KPO payment requests twice, similar to this year. We remain in constant contact with the European Commission. Our strong cooperation is based on the principles of partnership and mutual understanding, MFiPR emphasized.

16:06

Hołownia on the upcoming anniversary of the coalition:

If anyone wants to come with candles and cake on Friday, I will advise against it.

- We have a reason only to roll up our sleeves even more and get to work, because at the halfway point of this term, i.e. in a year, we will have to show people a much higher percentage of fulfilled promises or assumptions that we have adopted than is the case today – stated Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists.

Hołownia: Accountability is moving too slowly, we need a developmental narrative

- Accountability is also moving slowly, too slowly, because we should have been in a developmental narrative long ago, not in an accountability narrative. I hope this will also speed up, because people in Poland simply have the right to know who stole, who cheated, who destroyed Poland, and they have the right to a sense of justice – he continued.

- If someone wants to come with balloons, candles, and cake on Friday and celebrate, I will rather advise against it, it is not yet the time – he added.

16:07

Hołownia on Ending the Polish-Polish War:

We Need a President Today Who Is Outside of PO and PiS.

- Today, this Polish-Polish war has been going on for 20 years, between two main camps, two main environments. It's very simple: if we have decided to have a president in Poland elected not by the parliamentary majority, but by the nation, then today, to end this Polish-Polish war and move to a phase of cooperation, we need someone who is outside of these two large camps. It's very simple, the president must be accountable to the nation, not to the leader of PO or the leader of PiS – said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists.

17:45

Supreme Court's Chamber of Extraordinary Control Upholds PiS Complaint

- We are awaiting a press conference from the Supreme Court spokesperson. However, the result is already on the website – the Chamber of Extraordinary Control has upheld the PiS complaint – reports Dziennik Gazeta Prawna on social media.

17:53

Nawrocki:

We Are the Modern Ones. Post-Communism is Already a Relic of the Past
- Despite what they so often want to convince us, both me personally and people with a conservative worldview, it is we who are modern - said Karol Nawrocki in Tomaszów Mazowiecki.

- We are the modern ones, because contemporaneity, the present and the future are not equal to the negation of the values we serve and to which we are attached, the foundations of Christianity, which builds responsibility for our national community - he continued.

- After all, there is also a very important element of Christianity that builds the foundation of a common European Union, along with Roman law and Greek culture. No one asks whether attachment to values is anti-modern. It is people full of values, people aware of the values to which they are attached, who are modern - he went on to say.

- Post-communism and references to ideologies that destroyed this world throughout the 20th century are not modern. Just as communism was not modern, post-communism cannot be modern and is already a relic of the past - he added.

18:10

Nawrocki Introduces "Citizen Advocate for the Citizen Candidate." It's a TV Republika Journalist
- I have the great pleasure and immense honor at this moment in Tomaszów Mazowiecki to introduce the new citizen advocate for the citizen candidate for President of the Republic of Poland, Ms. Emilia Wierzbicki - said Karol Nawrocki in Tomaszów Mazowiecki. Until now, Emilia Wierzbicki was a journalist for TV Republika.

18:24

Wrzosek Removed from Ministry of Justice and National Prosecutors' Council
- By the decision of the Minister of Justice, Prosecutor General Adam Bodnar, I was today removed from my delegation to the Ministry of Justice and the National Prosecutors' Council at the Prosecutor General's office. I have no knowledge whether this removal is a result of my submitted requests to resign from the entrusted functions, or a completely separate decision by the Ministry of Justice and Prosecutor General — wrote Ewa Wrzosek on social media.

18:25

Supreme Court Spokesperson: Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Upholds PiS Electoral Committee's Appeal Against National Electoral Commission Resolution

- Today, the Supreme Court, ruling in the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs, upheld the appeal of the electoral committee, or rather the financial representative of the electoral committee of the PiS party, against the resolution of the National Electoral Commission, which had rejected the financial report of the said committee regarding the electoral campaign accounting – stated the Supreme Court spokesperson in a conversation with journalists.

18:25

Spokesperson for the Supreme Court on the Motives Behind the Ruling on PiS's Financial Report:

The National Electoral Commission Did Not Specify the Nature of the Infringement.

- Regarding the grounds on which the Supreme Court deemed the National Electoral Commission's (PKW) resolution to be contrary to binding law. As you know, the PKW rejected the report, accusing it of violating Article 131 § 5 and Article 132 § 1 of the Electoral Code. In the broadest terms, this concerns the acceptance by an electoral committee of non-pecuniary benefits during the election campaign, whereas the Supreme Court indicated that in the content of its resolution and its justification, the PKW in no way specified what would constitute the fulfillment of the conditions for the offenses defined in these provisions of the Electoral Code – stated the spokesperson for the Supreme Court in an interview with journalists.

18:30

for SB Officers:

One of the Few of the 100 Concrete Steps Being Implemented." Nawrocki on "Privileges
- Yesterday I was in Siedlce in Mazovia, where Donald Tusk, who was not yet Prime Minister at the time, announced the restoration of retirement privileges for security service officers, and this is one of the few of the 100 concrete steps that are being implemented with some consistency, because a regular, hidden process of re-ubekization and restoration of retirement privileges for security service officers is underway in Poland – said Karol Nawrocki in Tomaszów Mazowiecki.

18:32

Kaczyński on an 'Important Supreme Court Decision': Will the Current Government Implement It or Break the Law Again?
An important decision by the Supreme Court. The question remains whether the current government will implement it or if the law will be broken once again, thereby confirming the fact that a forceful change of system has occurred, and even the rudiments of law are no longer in effect in Poland - wrote Jarosław Kaczyński on social media.

18:35

Nawrocki:

Poland Is Obviously Entitled to Reparations

- Frankly, Poland is obviously entitled to reparations. They are calculated at PLN 6 trillion 200 billion. However, in a situation where we don't feel a common Polish cause, referring to the successes of our predecessors, for heaven's sake. If Prime Minister Morawiecki and the United Right government managed to prepare this report, why shouldn't the next one benefit from it? - stated Karol Nawrocki in Tomaszów Mazowiecki.

18:36

Nawrocki Asked About His Stance on Abortion:

I am a Catholic, it is natural that I am pro-life.

– I am a Catholic, I am a Christian, and it is natural that I am pro-life, and this is my conviction that I have carried throughout my adult life. I also have a personal story of life being saved by my wonderful wife, the life of my wonderful son, who is not my biological son. This personal story strongly obligates me – stated Karol Nawrocki at a meeting with residents in Tomaszów Mazowiecki.

Tusk on Decision Regarding TVN and Polsat: It's Understandable for Every Patriot. So Why Did PiS Politicians Fly into Such a Fury?
Protecting Polish media from a Russian hostile takeover seems to be an obvious need of the moment. It is understandable for every patriot. So why did PiS politicians fly into such a fury after this decision was announced? Take a guess — stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on social media.

Zgorzelski:

The National Electoral Commission Must Consider That the Decision on PiS's Report Was Made by a Non-Existent Chamber
- The first scenario is that the National Electoral Commission (PKW) accepts the [PiS committee's] report. Because if this chamber [the Extraordinary Control Chamber of the Supreme Court] were without any reservations, then that's how it should be. Meanwhile, the PKW must - in my opinion - take into account that in this matter, a resolution or decision was made by a non-existent chamber - stated Piotr Zgorzelski in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News. - Be careful, because some members of the PKW might consider your opinion as pressure on the PKW - commented Bogdan Rymanowski. - But what pressure? I am a citizen... - replied the politician. - Because the legislative and executive branches are pressuring the PKW - continued the host. - I am absolutely not pressuring - declared the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm.

Zgorzelski on the Subsidy for PiS:

Domański Shouldn't Hit Enter on the Transfer.
- Point A – Minister Domański hits Enter and transfers the money to PiS. Or point B – that he doesn't hit that Enter. In my opinion, he shouldn't hit it, because state funds were clearly used for running the election campaign – said Piotr Zgorzelski in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

20:15

Regarding Subsidies:

Oh, the Poor Things." Zgorzelski on PiS's "Whining
- Oh, the poor things. I want to tell you that they are not the first [PiS]. Nobody cried like that, nobody whined like that, saying there's no money, that it's an attack, that it's politics. Both Nowoczesna and PSL were deprived of funds - and somehow we survived - said Piotr Zgorzelski on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

Święczkowski on the Constitutional Tribunal:

There is room for conversation and discussion, for seeking compromise.

- There is room for conversation and discussion, for seeking compromise among representatives of all branches of government, because the Constitutional Tribunal is one of the most important institutions guarding law and the Constitution in Poland. Therefore, it should probably be in the interest of everyone, the government and the opposition, for this tribunal to function smoothly – stated Bogdan Święczkowski on TV Republika.

20:21

Zgorzelski Responds to Kaczyński: If the System Was Changed, It Was Over the Last 8 Years
- If the system was changed at all, it was over the last eight years, because we ceased to be a fully democratic state and became a state that was on a tectonic fault line between democracy and authoritarian rule. And I can prove it - said Piotr Zgorzelski in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, referring to the post by PiS chairman on the X platform. - We are [currently] on the path back to a democratic state - he assessed.

20:22

the Constitutional Tribunal:

Looking at my physique, it will be very difficult." Święczkowski on "starving

- Regardless of what the legislative or executive power tries to do with the Constitutional Tribunal, the Tribunal will operate, it will issue rulings, publish and announce judgments. Regardless of the expectations of the political elite - stated Bogdan Święczkowski on TV Republika.

- If anyone is counting on, as I hear in the media, "starving" the Constitutional Tribunal, then honestly speaking, this state will not succeed in doing that, and looking even at my physique, it will be very difficult for them to starve it - he continued.

20:26

Święczkowski:

Prime Minister Commits a Constitutional Offense

- The fact that they are not published in the appropriate Journals of Laws or the Monitor Polski is a technical issue. Of course, here the Prime Minister and the services subordinate to him commit a constitutional offense, but this has no significance. Rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal at a hearing mean that the provisions which the Tribunal found unconstitutional have lost the presumption of constitutionality, and it means that the judgment becomes binding law - stated Bogdan Święczkowski on TV Republika.

20:34

Will PSL Field Its Own Candidate? Zgorzelski Denies
- Szymon Hołownia, the candidate of Poland 2050 for president, and possibly, I can say with high probability, also for the PSL, because we are awaiting decisions from statutory bodies. So, we will naturally support him in the fight for the presidency, as we believe he is a valuable asset - said Piotr Zgorzelski in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News. - We have agreed with the Third Way and Marshal Szymon Hołownia on the following project: parliamentary, local, European Parliament, and presidential elections. And we will keep our word - he stressed.

20:37

Zgorzelski on the Decision Regarding Wrzosek:

She Paid the Price.
- The prosecution was, is, and will remain a hierarchical organization, and subordinates should not criticize their chief. This was an evident element of criticism, so Prosecutor Wrzosek paid the price for that criticism. She has her views, and she can now express them without inhibition - said Piotr Zgorzelski in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
