The Ministry of National Defence has scheduled a speech by the head of the ministry. On Friday, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz is also scheduled to visit soldiers of the Polish Military Contingent in Romania.

- It is an unusual situation that the prosecutor's office and all subordinate services are being politically exploited to destroy the opposition, political opponents, which is precisely what Donald Tusk's government is doing through the prosecutor's office supervised by Minister Bodnar – stated Michał Dworczyk on RMF FM.

- Marcin Romanowski has obtained political asylum in Hungary, and it is worth emphasizing that this is the first time after 1989 that a Polish citizen has received such political asylum – he continued.

- The Hungarian authorities have recognized that today in Poland, Minister Romanowski cannot count on a fair, honest trial. They based this on the authorities' previous actions, which were illegally conducted against Minister Romanowski – emphasized the PiS politician.

- It is impossible to explain a situation where the National Electoral Commission (PKW) recognizes the Supreme Court one day, and then, several days or two weeks later, when the matter concerns PiS, it no longer recognizes the Supreme Court - stated Michał Dworczyk in an interview with RMF FM.

- Advocate Kalisz is a recognized lawyer, which is why a few months ago we reached an agreement regarding cooperation and his representation of me in one of the cases. Today, the situation has fundamentally changed because Advocate Kalisz – one might say – has returned to active politics. Therefore, after a conversation, we decided that this cooperation should be terminated - stated Michał Dworczyk on RMF FM.

- This conversation took place at my initiative. At this moment, the advocate does not represent me - he continued.

- I think we can do better, and this is a pebble to my own garden as well; we should more effectively show Poles how many mistakes the current government is making and what harmful actions it's undertaking concerning the socio-economic consequences for our country - stated Michał Dworczyk on RMF FM.

- He is not fleeing from justice, because as you said, perhaps not in the most elegant Polish, but he simply wants to avoid not the justice system, but the actions of people who are in places where they shouldn't be, who simply don't have the right to do this, all of this is legal – stated Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- And what he is citing, meaning changes of court presidents, changes of judging panels, and other maneuvers, all indicate that a fair trial cannot take place under these political conditions, and there are all grounds to avoid it – he continued.

- You are so afraid that you don't want to listen to the verdict of Poles, but rather tamper with the presidential elections. Free Poles will not allow this. A civil movement to defend elections is being formed, and it is Poles who will stop you from tampering with the presidential elections and attempting to falsify them, and you will not succeed - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in the Sejm.

- An additional epilogue to the Hungarian presidency is also Prime Minister Orbán's declaration yesterday that he will not agree to extend sanctions against Russia. And the Hungarian presidency also began with an unexpected visit from Mr. Orbán to Moscow - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said during a meeting with employees of the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to the EU.

- I warned our compatriots and I warned Europe that Russian influence could be extremely destructive, including in European Union member states. This makes our task all the more important, as Poland has a reputation as the most ambitious and, at the same time, very sensible country when it comes to challenges concerning threats, mainly from the East - he pointed out.

- As the Prosecutor General, I would like to emphasize that I will not stop and will continue all efforts regarding the accountability for all legal violations and misuse of public funds that have taken place in recent years. The issue of the Justice Fund is an absolute priority for me, and therefore, one of my first decisions was to establish an investigative team operating at the level of the National Public Prosecutor's Office - stated Adam Bodnar at a press conference.

- The investigation into the Justice Fund continues to be in a developmental stage, but we must constantly remind that 23 people have already been charged in this case, including several politicians. We are at a stage where an indictment is being prepared in one thread of the case, specifically concerning the Profeto foundation - stated Adam Bodnar at a press conference.

- Regarding the suspect Romanowski himself, in the immediate future, as early as today, the prosecutor sees the necessity to supplement the charges against Mr. Romanowski with another 7 very serious offenses, crimes of a criminal nature, related to his criminal expenditure of funds from the Fund for the Support of the Imprisoned - stated Dariusz Korneluk at a press conference.

- First, of course, a motion to lift immunity will be sent to the Polish parliament - he continued.

- The matter is being treated with the highest priority, it carries the highest political significance, and therefore the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Radosław Sikorski, announced today that he will summon the Hungarian ambassador to officially lodge a protest. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also announced the undertaking of actions. In connection with Poland and Hungary's membership in the EU, an infringement procedure, initiated on the basis of Article 259 TFEU, is possible – stated Adam Bodnar at a press conference.

- We will unfortunately have to involve both the EU and the Council of Europe in this matter, because we cannot allow individuals suspected of committing such serious crimes to evade Polish justice – he continued.

Tym, którzy błądzą i próbują instrumentalnie traktować kolejne zapisy Konstytucji zwracam uwagę, iż w razie stwierdzenia przez Sąd Najwyższy ważności wyborów, Zgromadzenie Narodowe ma KONSTYTUCYJNY OBOWIĄZEK przyjęcia przysięgi od prezydenta elekta. Wszelkie inne działania byłyby…

- The court, with its decision, confirmed that we are right in how we are conducting this investigation. Today, the investigation has been ongoing for 10 months, encompassing 23 individuals. We are examining several dozen threads, and many more people are scheduled for arrest and indictment – said Dariusz Korneluk at a press conference.

- Regarding Jarosław Kaczyński's words, I have the impression that these words are about one thing. It's not so much that individuals are fleeing from the prosecutor's office, but rather fleeing from responsibility for what they did between 2015 and 2023 – said Adam Bodnar at a press conference.

– Something absolutely unprecedented has happened. A Polish MP, a former Deputy Minister of Justice, fled from justice to Hungary, requested political asylum, thereby betraying his own state. Looking at this from the perspective of the Marshal of the Sejm, I see in this a clear decision, and therefore I voted for this resolution, to permanently evade fulfilling his parliamentary duties – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

– In connection with the above, in this resolution we are appealing to the Sejm services to find a way to draw practical consequences from the decision of Mr. MP Romanowski as quickly as possible. Since he does not want to fulfill his parliamentary mandate, it means that he should not be receiving remuneration for it, because why else would we pay him for it – he continued.

- I will also propose a change to the law on the exercise of a deputy's and senator's mandate, which will legally clarify this situation. It will be a simple change, this project is very simple, Article 5a: "A deputy or senator, while deprived of liberty, or against whom a decision to apply temporary detention has been issued, shall not exercise the rights and obligations arising from this law" – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- We cannot do it any other way, since the United Right, or former United Right, is testing Polish law to such an extent today, we must draw consequences from this and defend this law from schemers, cheats, and cowards – he added.

- The requests have arrived. Yesterday, Minister Bodnar called me, he announced that these requests would arrive in the evening, and they did. They are in the Sejm, so now they will most likely undergo a few days of review, given that we have holidays in between, and they will be forwarded to the committee on parliamentary regulations without delay. If the committee can finalize its report for the first Sejm session in January, then I believe it is possible to conduct it – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- The most honest and purest thing would be if Mr. Karol Nawrocki simply resigned from his position, because I know that it is stated there that it is about not being a party member, but we all know what the legislator had in mind. My position is strictly political, whereas the position of the Head of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) should be unrelated to politics – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- History should not be tied to politics; wherever history connects with politics, problems arise, and I think that Mr. Karol Nawrocki should take this to heart – he added.

- When it comes to the democratic rights and civil rights, and the parliamentary rights of MP Romanowski, they are completely obvious. An MP is obligated to their voters to fulfill their mandate and does so as they see fit and as they believe they can best exercise this mandate in a situation of threat to democracy and the rule of law in Poland. Thus, an MP can fulfill their mandate from Hungary, and from any place in the world – stated Piotr Gliński at a press conference.

Wczoraj spotkałem się z Panem Prezydentem Andrzejem Dudą. Spotkanie przebiegło w życzliwej atmosferze, miało bardzo konstruktywny charakter. Przez większość czasu rozmawialiśmy o najważniejszych dla Polski sprawach.

- I would like [Donald Trump] to come to Poland as soon as possible, right after taking office. We are in contact with the president's team, including those who will be responsible for shaping the plan for peace in Ukraine. The president has not yet been sworn in, so we are waiting for that moment, and I am optimistic. Poland meets the conditions that Mr. President Trump often expresses in his speeches, namely defense spending, and here we are an absolute leader with 4.7% of GDP – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

- I'm surprised because the declarations made by those who ruled not so long ago were different; they said that innocent people have nothing to fear and will always cooperate and repeatedly declared cooperation with law enforcement agencies and the prosecution, and now they have not fulfilled that – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

- We will continue this, these missions will of course be extended here in Romania. This is a result of the 2016 NATO summit, it is a very important synchronization of allied armies with each other, joint exercises, army compatibility, on this NATO's strength, our alliance's strength, is built. Romania is good in that we have almost the same equipment, these are very compatible armies, we will develop this, we will elevate Polish-Romanian relations to an even higher level, and in the area of security and armed forces, years of many exercises and many strategic decisions await us, tightening cooperation – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

- Two weeks ago, I was here in Lądek-Zdrój, making a declaration, but also initiating a process of care for the apartment of the late Ms. Hanna, which today belongs to her daughters, Ms. Małgorzata, and also Mr. Krzysztof. Back then, we started these works, these works have been ongoing for 2 weeks, and today I came not only to extend wishes to two families but also, together with Ms. Małgorzata and Mr. Krzysztof, with engineers and architects, to examine the form of apartment arrangement and renovation - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.

- There is one conclusion - this aid is on one hand inadequate to the needs of the residents, and on the other hand, the mechanisms for its allocation are taking too long. Today I also wanted to ask public questions, because in this cycle of thinking about Polish citizens, there are forecasts on one hand, speed of reaction on the other, and thirdly, those responsible for the Polish state have an obligation to think about what is coming. We are talking about people who live here, who will live here, and I would like to think about the Kłodzko Land in 2030 today - he continued.

- Therefore, I ask a public question, out of concern for the residents of Lądek-Zdrój and the entire Kłodzko County, whether anyone is asking themselves today what will happen in 2030, what the local economy and the tourism market will look like, and in this regard, I wanted to encourage all Poles, after a conversation with the mayor, who is an excellent local government official, who thinks about the residents, not about political struggle or rivalry, the mayor assured me that all hotel and tourist infrastructure in this spa part is untouched and ready to receive tourists, so let us all express economic patriotism throughout Poland - the candidate emphasized.

- I would warn the Polish government, the Polish Prime Minister, against dealing with the affairs of another nation at a time when matters here, concerning Poles in Lądek-Zdrój, remain unresolved and when municipal communities, the owners of these tenement houses, are still awaiting financial aid from the Polish government. Let's first address Polish tenement houses and the fate of Polish citizens, and then let's solidarily help those who need our assistance - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.

- You can compare the truthfulness of Onet's reports with the dates that appear there. Dates appear there, for example, Sundays, on which Onet tries to convince its readers that I should take leave from the IPN on Sundays, in order to fulfill my role as a civic candidate for president. Onet's manipulation also concerns the situation, there are many examples, it refers to my visit to Bielsko-Biała, for instance. It does not mention that I dedicated the essential part of my day to observing and discussing the construction of the first military cemetery in Poland's history for soldiers of the anti-communist opposition in Kamesznica - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.

- I don't have any opinion on the matter of MP Marcin Romanowski. It's not a matter that interests me. It is the MP's matter, which is part of public debate, but a presidential candidate does not concern himself with such matters - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.

- We have decided to build drone forces, a medical component, but also to develop capabilities in space. Operational, observational, in every dimension. The future belongs to this space, to operations in this space, to preparation for operations in this space – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

- Therefore, the agreement signed today concerning four satellites in the MikroGlob program becomes an extraordinary achievement for the Polish Armed Forces. An expansion of capabilities, an increase in operational readiness, and imaging, which is absolutely necessary for tactical and operational activities – he continued.

- I thank the President for a matter-of-fact meeting. I convinced the President that we are on the verge of potential legal and systemic chaos in a situation of external threat to the state. Every attempt to improve this situation is worth undertaking - wrote Szymon Hołownia on social media.

Dziękuję Panu Prezydentowi za rzeczowe spotkanie. Przekonywałem Prezydenta, że stoimy u progu potencjalnego chaosu prawnego i ustrojowego w sytuacji zewnętrznego zagrożenia państwa. Każda próba poprawienia tej sytuacji jest warta wykonania.

- Criminals and those suspected of crimes have always fled, are fleeing, and will continue to flee. Some flee to Belarus, others, like MP Romanowski, flee to Hungary. This is quite undignified, absolutely contradictory to what he previously assured, that he would never hide from the Polish justice system, and now he has cowardly fled to Hungary – stated Andrzej Domański on TVN24’s „Fakty po faktach”.

- The high energy prices are of course the responsibility of 8 years of inaction, complete inaction by PiS. These are the facts. It's worth mentioning them. These [changes] are already happening; the number of connections to renewable energy sources has drastically increased. We had the first month in Polish history when the share of hard coal in energy generation, which is a very expensive source at the moment, dropped below 50% - stated Andrzej Domański on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- No, we received very clear information from the NBP here. This time, we received information that we can forget about NBP profit. The NBP generated a very high loss - stated Andrzej Domański on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- If a new National Council of the Judiciary is appointed, one that operates according to constitutional rules, meaning judges are appointed to the KRS by other judges, then this will be a moment of a kind of rebound. That is, a moment from which judges can be appointed normally, without any doubts regarding their appointment, and it will also be the moment from which the evaluation process for judges appointed after 2018 can be carried out – stated Adam Bodnar on Polsat News.

– Polish services are performing their duties, and nobody could have predicted that a citizen of the Republic of Poland would flee from justice, that they would simply turn off their phone and leave. There are no grounds to surveil, check, or conduct operational control on anyone before a decision on temporary arrest is made – Adam Bodnar said on Polsat News.

- I think Mr. Roman Giertych has various views on how the prosecutor's office operates. I think it's certainly interesting to comment on the prosecutor's actions while sitting comfortably in an armchair and not bearing daily responsibility for what is happening within the prosecutor's office – stated Adam Bodnar during the program "Guest of Events" on Polsat News.

- If someone talks about helplessness, I would like to say that for me, this so-called helplessness consists of the fact that in the case of the Justice Fund, within less than a year. Because the investigation seriously began at the beginning of February, it was possible to press charges against 23 people, an indictment is being prepared for 9 individuals, which will soon go to court, and 3 people are in temporary arrest – he continued.

- This nibbling appears, I see it [from figures including Giertych and Wrzosek]. However, I believe that after this year, we have several very serious matters underway, sometimes we even have situations with first-instance convictions, which the media are reporting on, I'll remind you about Minister Niedzielski – stated Adam Bodnar on Polsat News.

- A lot is happening at Collegium Humanum, in NCBiR we have 63 people facing charges, at the Government Agency for Strategic Reserves, one gentleman brought from the Dominican Republic is currently in custody and is being questioned as a suspect, another gentleman is in custody in London and will be extradited based on a European Arrest Warrant – he continued.

- Yes, Mr. Marcin Romanowski can count on a fair trial, and the proof of this is that the decision to apply temporary arrest was issued by an independent court. Just as the decision to apply the European Arrest Warrant was - Adam Bodnar said in Polsat News.

- What I think is most important for me in this context is the government's resolution, which was adopted this week. Specifically, according to this resolution adopted on Tuesday, the Constitutional Tribunal has lost its power to be a real constitutional court, and its rulings, its decisions, will not be published – stated Adam Bodnar on Polsat News.

- I think that right after the new year, the bill [on separating the functions of Prosecutor General and Minister of Justice] will be adopted as a Council of Ministers draft. I believe it will take a few more months – Adam Bodnar said on Polsat News.
