– I am waiting for the PO MPs who bought diplomas from Collegium Humanum to be transported to Katowice, but I don't know if that will happen. It seems to me that Mr. Bodnar's prosecutor's office does not have that in its plans – stated Janusz Cieszyński on TVP Info.

– Where is Mr. Zembaczyński, who also has a diploma from Collegium Humanum? After all, we both know, as political observers, that the PO (Civic Platform) politicians will certainly not be transported there because they are protected by Adam Bodnar's umbrella, and that's what it's all about – stated Janusz Cieszyński on TVP Info.

– They argued in Wrocław, there's a Lower Silesian conflict between Mr. Jaros and Mr. Sutryk, and Mr. Sutryk was detained, but as long as there isn't this conflict, for example with Mr. Zembaczyński, I think no one will investigate his diploma and the circumstances under which he obtained it – emphasized the PiS (Law and Justice) MP.

– Let's consider how it is possible that Ms. Roguska, the Minister for Floods, also has a diploma from Collegium Humanum; will she also be questioned, or will someone investigate? I will answer that we can assume that the people from PO will not be subject to any control. That's why their colleague Adam Bodnar took over the prosecution, so that they would now have problems – stated Janusz Cieszyński on TVP Info.

– I think everyone would want to have such support from their former boss as Michał Kuczmierowski has, from Prime Minister Morawiecki, and I don't know how the situation looks regarding the bail, but I know that in this matter, in which Michał Kuczmierowski is attacked solely for working for the previous government, Prime Minister Morawiecki has supported him and his family from the very beginning – stated Janusz Cieszyński on TVP Info.

– His first diplomatic mission, he has business experience, so he will get to know Poland from a different angle, not from a business perspective, but from a diplomatic, political one. I think he will be pleasantly surprised by Poland – Grzegorz Schetyna said on Polsat News' "Graffiti," when asked about Donald Trump's decision to appoint Tom Rose as ambassador to Poland.

– I am always optimistic. The United States Ambassador always plays an important role, and we are waiting for a good, open representative of the Washington administration – he added.

He assessed: – If he clashes, if he encounters Polish reality, he will form his own opinion, not derived from tweets and articles in the right-wing press, but from a reliable judgment of the reality that exists in Poland. I always assume good scenarios and I believe that this will be the case this time as well.

– For me, this is an answer [the accusation of a "coup d'état"] to what is happening – meaning that the time for reckoning is coming, that it has been months, but indictments are being formulated, cases will go to court and will be processed there. So that's why there's such a furious cry, it seems to me, of fear for the immediate future, what will happen after the next elections – said Grzegorz Schetyna in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

– The state must defend its institutions and must effectively show that if someone broke the law, regardless of political assignments, they must answer for it – he stated.

– I think it's rather an assault on reason in Mr. Święczkowski's case. Let's recall that Mr. Święczkowski is, in fact, a PiS politician […] and the prosecutor did not initiate any investigation, because he couldn't either. An institution like the prosecutor's office is hierarchical, and just as a soldier cannot declare war on a foreign state […] the same applies here – said Cezary Tomczyk in an interview with Renata Grochal on “Bez Uników” on Trójka, when asked if he was participating in a coup d'état.

– It’s about legislation, about the system of state functioning, which today is undermined by the President’s Chancellery and the president, who refuses to cooperate with this government, or the so-called Constitutional Tribunal […], it’s clear that all of this isn't functioning. Because every law that is passed by this government and the parliamentary majority, […] is immediately sent to Święczkowski’s Constitutional Tribunal – Grzegorz Schetyna said in “Graffiti” on Polsat News.

– We cannot say that we are able to fulfill our electoral commitments. We are unable to run the state. We can only govern to a limited extent, unable to benefit from normal, substantive cooperation with the president – he argued.

– It is the PiS politicians who are obsessed [by my words], because they believe that there is no such thing as a legislative system, because Kaczyński showed that the legislative system works on demand. […] I am a proponent of a normal state and state institutions that cooperate with each other. Today this cooperation is absent, therefore it is worth doing a lot to ensure it exists – so that the state is normal – he continued.

– In order to initiate any proceedings at all, there is the National Prosecutor's Office, which distributes cases to individual units and they are then launched. […] Let's recall, this prosecutor we are talking about [Michał Ostrowski] was appointed as the Deputy Prosecutor General after the lost elections in November 2023 – said Cezary Tomczyk on Trójka.

– PiS specifically changed the law in such a way that this man is irremovable. When can he be dismissed? If there is consent from the president. Who is the president? Andrzej Duda. We have a closed circle – he continued.

– What Błaszczak did [...] is like spitting in the face of Polish soldiers. [...] These kinds of plans are not plans drawn up by the Minister of Defence, these are plans drawn up by the General Staff, military planners, people who know what they're doing, consultations are at the NATO level, at the level of our allies, at the American level – said Cezary Tomczyk in Trójka.

– If the Minister of Defence, during his tenure, reveals a fragment of these plans, it's as if he sold those soldiers – he continued.

– Błaszczak is simply a coward for not wanting to give up his immunity. If he believes he has done nothing wrong, let an independent court decide – he added.

– This is a conversation about the [government's] reconstruction, about a new beginning halfway through the term, about a new idea on how to fulfill our political, electoral commitments after the presidential elections – said Grzegorz Schetyna on “Graffiti” Polsat News.

– Yes, yes, I believe so [this will be a government reset]. Halfway through the term, we have two years without elections, and there will be no more searching for excuses or reasons that could lead to us not fulfilling something – he continued.

– If we are talking about a reset and a new beginning, it is precisely so that experts can prepare projects, and politicians do not argue publicly about them, but simply accept them and introduce them into legislative procedures – he indicated.

– If any president, contrary to the Constitution, were to use the army in any way or cause chaos in the state, it would simply be a civil war, so I hope that Prof. Dudek's words will never be fulfilled to any extent – said Cezary Tomczyk on Trójka, when asked about Prof. Dudek's words on TVP Info that “as President Karol Nawrocki would sharply fuel the conflict in Poland,” he might “test the loyalty of the Polish army,” and “soldiers would face a choice of whether they support the Tusk government or President Nawrocki.”

– What I can predict today and what I am convinced would happen if Nawrocki became president, which I would never wish upon Poland, is that there would be permanent conflict with the government and that Poland would de facto be unable to move forward in any way – he continued.

– Today I know that with Andrzej Duda, despite all the differences between us, we are able to agree on security matters. This is because we agree on about 90% of issues concerning the army's development. It seems to me that in the case of a president, if he were simply a PiS candidate, it would be permanent conflict, chaos in the state, for three years until the next parliamentary elections, we would simply have an unmanageable political civil war, on a completely unprecedented scale – he continued.

– In 2008, [Donald Tusk] agreed to CO2 reduction in European Union countries, but relative to the baseline year of 2005, not 1989. It is precisely this year, 2005, the reference year for greenhouse gas reduction, that is an assault on the Polish economy, because it is indeed very painful when we are forced to lower emissions – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

– If the year 1989 had been adopted, then of course it would have been beneficial for the Polish economy, in the sense that since ’89 we have reduced emissions by over 30%. Thus, Donald Tusk first struck a blow against the Polish economy in 2008. Now Donald Tusk claims he opposes precisely the reduction of CO2 emissions, but these are empty declarations. One could say that Donald Tusk is fighting himself – he continued.

– A meeting with European Union Commissioners is taking place in Gdańsk, and they are planning to postpone the entry of ETS2 by one year. By one year, which is an election year, as the calendar suggests, they want to ensure that the public does not judge them negatively – he went on to say.

Initiative in the European Parliament in a Few Days

– Our response in this matter is an initiative in the European Parliament, which Ms. MEP Anna Zalewska will present in a few days, and our response in this matter consists of three draft laws [lowering VAT on food, energy, and gas]. The leader of Law and Justice [...] demanded from the parliamentary rostrum two days ago that the Sejm should consider these projects, that it should adopt these projects. These projects were created as a result of substantive, expert consultations undertaken by Dr. Karol Nawrocki – he added.

– Regarding Mercosur, the matter is decided. Mrs. von der Leyen signed this agreement. If it had a political part, there is a long ratification procedure; the European Council ratifies it, followed by the parliaments of the national countries, but this is divided into a commercial part […] trade is fully within the competence of the European Commission […] therefore, Mrs. von der Leyen is within her rights – said Zbigniew Kuźmiuk at a press conference.

– This agreement has been signed, it will simply wait until the electoral decisions in Germany and Poland, and then it will simply come into force. So, what is being said to Polish farmers, that we will form some kind of blocking minority here, simply has no basis in fact; we are doing nothing in this matter – he continued.

– We will likely do it at the next Sejm session, because then the Marshal of the Sejm is obliged, if they do not violate the Sejm's rules, to submit for debate the motion to dismiss Minister Kotula. Therefore, immediately after considering that motion, we will submit a motion to dismiss Minister Nowacka – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference, when asked if PiS had already filed a motion of no-confidence against Barbara Nowacka.

– We welcome the ambassador to Poland with hope. He was at a meeting of the European Conservatives and Reformers […] he is a conservative publicist, a man who reacted when the media in our country was forcibly taken over by the December 13 coalition, which is a good sign, because it shows that he is interested in Polish affairs and reacts as he should […]. We welcome the ambassador with hope – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference, when asked about the new US Ambassador to Poland, who is expected to be Thomas Rose.

– If that was the case, then of course it's bad, but we are waiting for explanations. This current government, which is in power now, passes judgments, so we will see how this matter concludes. And it's good that the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau is still operating, because I will remind you that the December 13 coalition wants to liquidate the CBA, so if they liquidate the CBA, they will believe there is no corruption problem in our country, but the problem of corruption exists – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference, when asked if it wasn't a shame that a person like the president's spokesperson has a "fake" diploma and this isn't being checked. The issue concerns Błażej S., who is accused of profiting thanks to a bought diploma.

– That is why I talk so much about public transport – even though I am running for President of the Republic of Poland, not Minister of Infrastructure – because I believe the president is the one who can today bring about the elimination of transport exclusion, meaning freeing people across Poland precisely through the availability of this transport, and this is the president's task – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Ostrołęka.

– The President is not for palace games, not for clowning around. He is not meant to reveal himself to the people once every 3 months or to engage in squabbles between PiS and PO. The President in Poland is written into the constitution so strongly that they have the power to become a guardian of balance, a stabilizer, and a sort of pusher of things that happen in the Sejm – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Ostrołęka.

– So that he doesn't always have to consider, when making decisions, when planning his work, whether the Prime Minister will agree to something or not. Because the President cannot be the Prime Minister's yes-man […], and on the other hand, he cannot be a hostage of the PiS chairman all the time – he emphasized.

As he pointed out: – Poles should be the President's point of reference. The President has an obligation only to refer to them.

– I know that as a coalition, we haven’t delivered on all the promises we made, although we have done a lot. I can say clearly today that I, as the Marshal of the Sejm, where I had my own responsibility, have delivered on all the promises I made on the first day of my term. Every single one – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Ostrołęka.

– Although I know this coalition government can be very difficult, I want to say that with full determination, as president, I will support it in implementing nothing more than the program that has already been announced. After all, railways and transport accessibility are in the coalition’s program. This needs to be delivered – he continued.

– Yes, from my perspective, it's really difficult because I understand why he's doing it. Because in Germany, when it comes to the mainstream, it's really hard to find differences between them. So the CDU, CSU, they are called right-wing parties. However, if you try to compare what they actually do, when you try to compare them with the SPD, I don't think you can really find a true difference between them, especially when it comes to the axle load, for example – stated Patryk Jaki in an interview published on the X portal.

– So they call it Christianity, so they have Christian roots. But in reality, they support gender ideology and this green madness, and together they are destroying nuclear energy in Germany. So from Elon's perspective, they are probably the same. And he is trying to find another option. However, from our perspective, the Polish perspective, this is a problem – emphasized the PiS MEP.

– There is a problem with the AfD. They are very radical. Some of their politicians are proponents of justifying criminal actions during the war, German crimes. Some suggest that we should talk about changing borders. This makes them a very difficult partner for us. And also, when Elon mentioned forgetting the past, from a Polish perspective, this is really difficult, because the advantage of the German economy compared to Poland, the source of this advantage can be found in the consequences of World War II. They destroyed almost half of our country. They completely destroyed our capital and never paid for it – he added.

"While some will tell you that the most important thing is for PiS to return to power, and others will tell you that the most important thing is for Civic Platform to have everything, I will tell you that the most important thing is people, Polish women and men," said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Ostrołęka.

"That the most important thing is for the quality of life in Poland to improve. That there will be someone in this country who will be able to slam their fist on the table, not remain silent when two billion zlotys are squandered on projects like the Ostrołęka power plant, which you all know well," he continued.

– In Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has just presented a bill that will give his official the right to remove and block all internet content. And then you can go to court – stated Patryk Jaki in an interview published on X.

– If he wants to get this bill signed, he needs to have his president. Currently, the President of the Republic of Poland is Andrzej Duda, and he will never sign this. However, in May this year, we have presidential elections, and if Tusk's candidate wins, they will probably approve this bill. So probably, no, definitely approve this bill. Therefore, we are truly facing real challenges when it comes to true freedom of speech – emphasized the PiS MEP.

– I am in contact with Ms. Izabela, who was detained by the police after 6 AM and held for the entire day. Ms. Izabela is an honest pensioner struggling with various illnesses. She wasn't even allowed to take her medication with her. Her husband wasn't informed where she was being taken. Because of this, he couldn't deliver the necessary medicine to his wife. That's how it is in this ‘smiling Poland’ when you cross ‘Saint George’ – wrote PiS MP Krzysztof Szczucki on social media.

– Today, there is no need to present any new, extensive economic programs that are unknown. It is enough to do what we, as a coalition, have already said and what we have committed to – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Ostrołęka.

– Stop collecting the oppressive, destructive, and business-killing pseudo-health contribution from entrepreneurs in Poland, which was not allocated to healthcare at all when Morawiecki designed it, and because of which several hundred thousand Polish companies went bankrupt. These are things that we must deliver today, and we have already committed to them – he stressed.

– Civic Platform is my coalition partner. I want to cooperate with them on good initiatives. I have agreed and I always vote with the government led by Donald Tusk – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Ostrołęka.

– Donald Tusk should be the Prime Minister of the Republic, but a person from Civic Platform, or from Law and Justice, should not be the President of the Republic. […] That is my deepest conviction. Only then will we unleash all the power that exists in Poland – he declared.

– If there is again a president from Civic Platform and a prime minister from Civic Platform, the narrative will be: “aha, all of Poland in the hands of Civic Platform, let’s go the other way”. If there is a president from Law and Justice, it will be plowing over, destroying, demolishing everything that has been built – he assessed.

– We are observing this situation closely. I will not hide that it was a surprise to us that such a situation occurred. I understand that the prosecutor's office is conducting its proceedings and has conducted an interrogation; the minister has provided his explanations. He currently holds the position of my social advisor, which is an unpaid role and is his only connection to the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland (KPRP). I am waiting to see how the prosecutor's office will clarify this matter and what further decisions it will make – stated President Andrzej Duda at a press conference.

– For now, yesterday I decided to instruct the Head of the Chancellery, Minister Paprocka, and my senior colleagues, not to involve Błażej Spychalski in any activities that would in any way involve representing the President of the Republic of Poland, whether at certain ceremonies or events, until this matter is further clarified and the prosecutor's office indicates what decisions it truly intends to take – added PAD.

– We are looking at this very carefully and proceeding with caution. We are also observing what actions these suspicions or accusations, which are being formulated against Błażej Spychalski, will actually concern, and whether they are in any way related to what he did and what he was involved in at the KPRP – he emphasized.

– Święczkowski is bored, that's why he's making up stories about coups d'état. The Tribunal issued 25 rulings last year, 13 of which were politically motivated. Citizens have been waiting two years for their case to be resolved in the Constitutional Tribunal, while PiS gets its matters settled in two weeks. Most of the cases the Tribunal has heard have been to defend Glapiński, Kamiński, and Wąsik, or some other PiS politician – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Ostrołęka.

– There are no people on the streets, there is no sense of danger. Talking about a coup d'état like this is grist for the mill of Russian propaganda – he assessed.

He continued: – Because what will Russia Today or other Russian news outlets take to their broadcasts? Of course, the statement of an important Polish politician – because I consider Święczkowski a politician – that there is a coup d'état in Poland. "So this Poland, which supports Ukraine so much, which stands up to Russia so much, look what cracks there are, people are fighting, a coup d'état".

– I will say this strongly, but let it resonate strongly: this is feeding Russian propaganda with Polish blood. And I hope that the people from PiS will quickly come to their senses and understand how much harm they are doing to Poland today – he added.

– I wish the police were as effective in dealing with much more serious matters – for example, the growing problem with drug gangs in Warsaw, governed by Rafał Trzaskowski – wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media.

– The Polish state should focus the actions of the police and prosecution on real security threats. Meanwhile, the idea of WOŚP should be depoliticized to regain public trust and its true charitable character – the former prime minister stated.

– Mr. Jerzy Owsiak has confused his little hearts. Today he walks with KO's, not WOŚP's. I think this causes distaste among the vast majority of Poles from every side of the political scene. And the repression against a poor elderly lady only strengthens this distaste – he added.

– The EU must rise to the occasion amidst changing circumstances. We discussed how to make the EU, and the work of the Polish presidency and the Commission will also serve this purpose, so that the EC and EU member states are secure – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint conference with the President of the European Commission.

– Security, as you know, is the priority of the Polish presidency, but not because someone simply invented it when we announced that security was our priority – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint press conference with the head of the European Commission.

– There is no doubt that this is precisely one of those entirely new circumstances – he continued.

– This is a good place, I am convinced that it is the best place on earth for many reasons, but I would like everyone in Europe to feel the way Poles feel today in Warsaw or Gdańsk, and that is safe – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, during a joint press conference with the head of the European Commission.

– Because Poland's eastern border is the EU's eastern border, I thank you for this unequivocal declaration that we will treat the obligations arising from protecting this border as shared. This has already begun, but today we received confirmation – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint press conference with the President of the European Commission.

– We must decide to finance defense needs, including securing the EU's land border with Russia and Belarus. The same applies to protecting the Baltic Sea, not only the Baltic, but also states in the North Sea are gradually talking to us about securing [our interests] not only against the shadows fleet, against this strange fleet of strange ships that have recently begun to violate or destroy our underwater infrastructure, so the Baltic will also require – and I will keep reminding everyone of this – not only NATO assistance, which we already have, but also concrete decisions regarding the protection of territorial waters – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint press conference with the head of the European Commission.

– Poland, hosting nearly 2 million refugees from Ukraine, is a country in a special situation. I stated this clearly to Poles recently, to the President, and I am glad that my argumentation found a hearing and understanding, that Poland will not implement a migration pact that would cause any additional quotas of migrants in Poland – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint conference with the EC President.

– Poland will not accept any further burdens. We have already taken on more than anyone could have imagined just a few years ago was even possible – he continued.

– Regarding the Green Deal, as well as other climate protection measures, we have told ourselves, and it's worth repeating here at home today: our goals are not changing, our planet requires protection, no one questions that climate change is the direct cause of disasters – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, during a joint press conference with the Head of the European Commission.

– We are also all aware that our actions for climate protection, environmental protection, cannot harm the interests of families, the interests of citizens, they cannot impose further burdens that are unacceptable, incomprehensible, or that could directly pose a risk from the perspective of the competitiveness of European companies, but also the standard of living of European families or the competitiveness of Europe as a whole. This also applies to energy prices – he continued.

– I will appeal for this at every European Council. I am convinced that I will not be alone in this, and after our conversation, I know that I can count on understanding from the President of the Commission, and although it sounds like a platitude, concrete decisions are needed for this. No decision should be made in Europe that could cause another increase in energy prices. We must all, without exception, be focused on making decisions whose direct effect will be to lower energy prices – he added.

– If we do not lower energy prices, our desire to be competitive against China or the United States will prove to be a complete illusion, and there's no point in pretending any longer […] we will look for various ways, both financial and investment, but also regarding regulations, to avoid this risk of price increases – he concluded.

– I have made a decision and have asked the Minister of Interior and Administration and the Minister of Justice to present a quick plan for an immediate reaction to organized crime and such aggressive actions by foreigners. Anyone who is a guest in Poland, who benefits from our hospitality and brutally breaks the law, will be deported from Poland, and these decisions will have their practical dimension in the coming days – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, during a joint conference with the Head of the European Commission.

– You can expect decisive actions in the coming days that will curb crime, including in relation to migrant communities and foreigners residing in Poland – he continued.

– When it comes to the migration pact – there are many provisions that, from the perspective of Southern states, can and will facilitate the protection of the EU and those states against illegal migration. There are many provisions that should facilitate return policies for all states. I don't want to use harsh words like deportation, but rather returns – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint press conference with the head of the European Commission.

– All these mechanisms that will enable more effective protection against illegal migration will not only be respected by Poland but also supported. The relocation mechanism is not a mechanism that protects Europe from illegal migration – he stated.

– When the idea of the migration pact was conceived, years ago, I explained from the very beginning, both in the European Parliament and to the then head of the Commission, that this is not the way to limit, to reduce illegal migration – he declared.

– Poland has opened its borders and hearts to two million refugees from Ukraine. If anyone in Europe gets the idea that Poland should take on other burdens, then regardless of who says it, I will say that Poland will not implement this, end of story – Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in Gdańsk, at a joint press conference with the head of the EC.

– I don't know the new US ambassador to Poland personally, so it's difficult to talk about strained relations with someone you don't know personally. My attitude towards the new ambassador will be characterized by warmth and patience, without a shadow of a doubt. He represents a country with which we are friends. Poland will not change its actions regardless of the current geopolitical dynamics, what anyone says, or in which country. For Poland, an alliance with the USA will always be one of the priorities, and the USA will remain, regardless of who is the US president, our closest and most important partner when it comes to security – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint press conference with the head of the European Commission.

– I will certainly find time to explain to the new ambassador that it's worth starting his mission in Poland without any prejudices and to always strive to reach reliable sources of information about what is happening in Poland – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint press conference with the President of the European Commission.

"From the beginning, I explained to our partners, especially the Chancellor of Germany, at the time he decided to reintroduce controls on the Polish-German border, that I saw no logic in the German government's actions when it initially refused to support the Polish Eastern Shield project and invest in the protection of the Polish eastern border, and at the same time decided to reintroduce controls on the Polish-German border," stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdańsk, at a joint press conference with the President of the European Commission.

"I tried to explain what seemed obvious to me: if Europe invests in protecting Poland's border with Russia and Belarus, where the flow was so intense, then there will also be no need to block the border with Poland, because there will be no such crossings," he continued.

"After several weeks of this persuasion, it brought results, meaning Chancellor Scholz stopped blocking, that was his initial reaction [...] this need to invest in the protection of the European Union's eastern border," he went on to say.

"There was perhaps some misunderstanding, our German friends didn't fully grasp what these investments on the eastern border were actually about. There was a concern that it was about purchasing weapons, and once it was clarified that it concerned the protection of the European border and border infrastructure, then nobody, including the Chancellor of Germany, thought about blocking it," he added.

“As Poland 2050, we received with surprise the unilateral, unconsulted decision by Civic Coalition to field Ms. Monika Piątkowska as a candidate in the supplementary elections for the Senate of the Republic of Poland,” wrote Rafał Komarewicz on X.

“This is not a joint candidate of the Senate Pact, as we had with the elections on October 15th. Among the registered candidates, there is no individual whom we could support with full responsibility. We also believe that our voters know perfectly well which candidate best understands the problems of Krakow and its residents, and will best represent their interests in the Senate of the Republic of Poland,” he stressed.

Jako Polska 2050 z zaskoczeniem przyjęliśmy jednostronną, nieskonsultowaną decyzję Koalicji Obywatelskiej o wystawieniu pani Moniki Piątkowskiej jako kandydatki w wyborach uzupełniających do Senatu RP. W związku z powyższym nie jest to wspólna kandydatka Paktu Senackiego, z jakim…

– My political opponents have recently concocted a fantastic new paranoia that a coup d'état has taken place in Poland. […] They think a coup d'état has actually occurred because someone is questioning the political future of a political officer, because that is how we must refer to this pseudo-president of the pseudo-Constitutional Tribunal – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Grudziądz.

– We once had a Constitutional Tribunal that guarded the constitution, our rights, where there were judges, great authorities […], people who bowed to no one. […] PiS destroyed that, sent political officers there who never had anything to do with any authority, and they will today tell us fanciful tales about a coup d'état having taken place in Poland – he continued.

“Platforma is Platforma, episode 2137. You must do what PO orders, because that’s what the ‘defense of democracy’ entails. It’s good that the public will get to see how this looks in practice” – wrote Adrian Zandberg on X, referring to Rafał Komarewicz’s post about the “unilateral, unconsulted decision by KO” regarding the Senate by-elections.

Platforma jest Platformą, odcinek 2137. Macie robić to, co rozkazuje PO, gdyż na tym polega "obrona demokracji". W sumie dobrze, że opinia publiczna obejrzy, jak to w praktyce wygląda.

A jeśli macie Państwo dość takiej polityki, zachęcam do głosowania w Krakowie na Ewę Sładek. https://t.co/CQc7veZ3pE

– You can see that Donald Trump is putting forward various ideas today, most of them quite controversial. He has a style where he also likes to stir the pot, to see what happens. He likes to stimulate thought this way, sometimes he simply wants to provoke. Some of these ideas are definitely not good ideas, but to talk to Trump, you need to have arguments – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Grudziądz.

– Do you know who has complexes? Part of our political class, with complexes, lost in this world, and frankly, are you surprised? When the chairman of this party hasn’t seen the sun for many, many years, because he hasn’t been to the park, on a walk, or to the store – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Grudziądz.

– Sometimes I feel sad and regretful. Lock yourselves in a dark room with a cat for 3 weeks and watch rodeo the entire time. We'll see how you feel – he continued.

– There will be no changes. No changes will be made, no one is planning any changes – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Grudziądz, responding to a question about the retirement age.

– Chairman Kaczyński, don’t be afraid, you are already retired – he continued.

– I can promise you one thing. That I will certainly not pardon anyone like that, I will not pardon any party cronies, and no politician who broke the law. There is no agreement on anything like that – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Grudziądz.

– Now imagine, after such a declaration that I will not pardon anyone, how much real estate prices have gone up in Budapest and in Minsk, Belarus – he added.

– US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will be in Poland next week. This is great news! Poland is one of the first countries the new US Secretary of Defense will visit. This is a testament to the strong partnership between Poland and the USA. I eagerly await this visit and fruitful discussions! – announced Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on social media.

Sekretarz Obrony USA @PeteHegseth za tydzień będzie w Polsce. To świetna wiadomość! ?? to jeden z pierwszych krajów, który odwiedzi nowy sekretarz obrony USA. To wyraz silnego partnerstwa ?? i ??. Z niecierpliwością czekam na tę wizytę i owocne rozmowy! pic.twitter.com/oVOuyyM2Hp
