President Andrzej Duda will participate in the ceremonies of the National Day of Remembrance of Poles Rescuing Jews under German occupation.

– Do gentlemen [from Civic Platform] remember their statements on border protection from a few years ago? It's quite amusing now to twist things around and count on the amnesia of Polish society. This act has been processed in the Sejm since December 19th; it took the Sejm and the Senate three months. The President has 21 days to make a decision. This is complex constitutional material, also involving international law. There's a significant amount of correspondence related to this act; there is time for a calm analysis by the President – stated Małgorzata Paprocka in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti."

– This is a feigned concern for Poland's security. We remember in the Presidential Palace the statements of the Prime Minister and his circle that the people attacking Polish officers, the Polish border are poor people, let's let them all in, then we'll check their identities. It won't be possible to build a wall on the border, this happened just a few years ago. Back then, there was no support for the President or the then-government from Civic Platform (KO), and certainly not from Rafał Trzaskowski – stated Małgorzata Paprocka on Polsat News's “Graffiti.”

– The president’s decision will certainly be made within the constitutional deadline, and as I say, it will be the best for Poland –
stated Małgorzata Paprocka on Polsat News’s “Graffiti.”

– I don’t think [the president will use the maximum time for the decision]. I think a decision should be expected soon. However, the president has his schedule. There was an official visit to Hungary at the end of last week, and this week there is an official visit to Italy, including meetings at the Vatican. The decision will certainly be announced immediately after it is made. It will be announced – she continued.

– Konfederacja, Mr. Mentzen, is the only political camp that formally, officially approached the President with a desire to discuss the President's proposal, i.e., enshrining 4% of GDP spending in the Constitution, and that was the subject of the meeting, which is a very important matter – stated Małgorzata Paprocka on Polsat News' "Graffiti."

– It is the disastrous policy of PiS that has led Germany to introduce this control on its border. It is indeed not succeeding [in fully implementing the control], but that does not absolve us of the need to strive, to fight for this border to be normally passable – said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on "Gość Radia ZET".

– I think a lot will change the moment we have a new Chancellor of Germany. I think it will be a more rational policy when it comes to the issue of German borders – he assessed.

When asked about the words of Karol Nawrocki, who stated that the Polish state is not defending the western border against migrants, he replied: – Karol Nawrocki says various things. Either he doesn't know what he's talking about, or he hasn't thought it through, or he's talking nonsense. What can I do. The Polish Prime Minister holds a press conference, and in reality, he is inspecting the eastern border, because that is where the real problem lies. And there, over the past year, we have done everything to make that border secure. These 98% of thwarted illegal border crossing attempts are a measure of the success of what Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Minister Tomasz Siemoniak, and of course, the soldiers and services are doing.

– We should – this is a diplomatic matter – talk to Germany, stating that such practices are unacceptable. Minister Siemoniak had a very strong reaction when the first such cases occurred, and there will be further reactions. […] They did not withdraw from controls, but I am talking about Minister Tomasz Siemoniak's reaction to the information that migrants were being returned to Poland – said Marcin Kierwiński on "Gość Radia ZET".

In his assessment: – What is this really due to? To the fact that during the PiS era, the Polish border was as porous as a sieve. And Germany got used to the idea that every illegal migrant who reached them came via Poland, at least that's what they think. Why? Because PiS did not guard the Polish border.

– Is Civic Platform ready to govern with Confederation? Yes or no? – Bogdan Rymanowski asked on "Guest of Radio ZET".

– But where does such a question even come from? We have coalition partners, and we're doing well in this coalition. We have coalition partners – I think that is a very precise answer – replied Marcin Kierwiński.

– Shouldn't you, especially Rafał Trzaskowski, take care of Mentzen's voters? – the host pressed.

– Taking care of Mentzen's voters is not about me seeing Civic Platform, Civic Coalition in a coalition with Mr. Mentzen – the minister said.

– So, do you rule out a coalition with Confederation?

– But there is a coalition today. There's no point in contemplating such scenarios at all. You want to put me into this "what if?" scenario again. There is a coalition. It functions well, it is changing Poland, it is restoring normalcy.

– If Trzaskowski doesn’t win over the youth, will he lose in the second round – yes or no? – Bogdan Rymanowski asked on Radio ZET's "Guest of Radio ZET".

– Trzaskowski will win over the youth and the youngest voters. He's always done it exceptionally well – Marcin Kierwiński replied.

– I hold very strongly critical views of what the European Union is, even more critical of what the Eurocrats currently want to do with it. That is, further federalization, further centralization, further debt incurrence – Krzysztof Bosak said on "Poranek Wnet", when asked about leaving the European Union.

– Every state should be prepared for any political scenario – he continued, when asked if preparations should be made for leaving the EU.

– This is not an evasive [answer], it is very specific. It is an affirmative answer – he went on, after the host pointed out that it was an evasive answer.

– It depends on the budgetary situation, because all preparations cost money – he emphasized, when asked if preparations would be initiated so that Poland could leave the EU with the least possible consequences, should Konfederacja govern.

– Let the court decide – Krzysztof Bosak said on Radio Wnet, when asked about the charges against Mariusz Błaszczak.

– I do not like what Minister Błaszczak did. I believe that military secrets should not be revealed – he continued, when pressed about voting to strip the former head of the Ministry of National Defence of his parliamentary immunity.

– According to conversations I've had with officers, staff documents are not revealed, and in particular, I see nothing sensible in revealing some snippet of broader documents, without historical analysis, without the entire context, without outlining the whole plan. I understand that a single, piecemeal piece of information was simply released for propaganda purposes during the election campaign – he went on to say.

– I believe it led to the manipulation of society and I believe it is an anti-state action – he added.

– It’s an election campaign, so I suspect that the hard vetoes that appear with various types of laws might not be so hard in a few months – said Marcin Kierwiński in “Gość Radia ZET,” when asked about the conflict within the coalition regarding the lowering of the health contribution for entrepreneurs and the “hard veto” of The Left.

– I’m not saying that [The Left’s behavior] is for show. I am saying, however, that it is certainly the case that in an election campaign, such programmatic differences within a coalition are more visible. But I also reassure you: we will reach an agreement on this matter with politicians from The Left, quickly – he stated.

– I hope so [the bill will be voted on before the elections] – he added.

– It is obvious […] that everything must be done to ensure Rafał Trzaskowski does not win these presidential elections. I believe this is possible. […] Sławomir Mentzen also said it is important that Rafał Trzaskowski does not win, so this is not just my personal declaration, it is simply the perspective of us in the Confederation. It has nothing to do with any arrangements, with sympathy or antipathy towards, for example, a party like PiS – said Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Wnet.

– This is creating an information buzz – he continued, when asked about Przemysław Czarnek’s words that PiS is immediately ready for a coalition with the Confederation.

– All of them need to be examined, to see what they are, but it seems to me that first and foremost, those supporting families must be retained – Krzysztof Bosak said on Radio Wnet, when asked about the potential abolition of social benefits such as 800+, the 13th pension, and the 14th pension.

– My [declaration]. I wouldn't want to speak for other Confederation politicians. It doesn't seem to me that Sławomir Mentzen has articulated a desire to abolish 800+ – he continued, when asked if the Confederation declares its intention to maintain 800+.

– It depends […] on budgetary possibilities. […] Times are sometimes better, sometimes worse – he continued, when asked about the abolition of the 13th and 14th pensions.

– The Migration Pact, which is being introduced, will lead to a further deterioration of the situation, the security situation in cities, large cities, but the security situation throughout Poland. Donald Tusk claims that the Migration Pact will not be binding, Ursula von der Leyen says something else, the European Union Commissioner responsible for […] the field of migration says something else, and the spokesperson for the German government also says something else – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

– Everything must be done to prevent the Migration Pact from coming into force, so that it does not apply. […] Law and Justice is returning to the referendum, we are preparing a citizens' referendum, we are very much asking for signatures, for signing the referendum application at the parliamentary and senatorial offices of Law and Justice. Such applications can be obtained – he continued.

– Have you heard the saying: “nothing given will be taken away”? We know that was a lie. The worst thing is that Donald Tusk hit the weakest group, Polish seniors. Seniors lost over 800 PLN last year and will lose it in 2025 due to Donald Tusk cutting the 14th pension. And do you remember pensions being raised by just a few zlotys? That cannot happen again. A dignified autumn of life also means not worrying about whether you’ll make it to payday – stated Karol Nawrocki in a recording published on social media.

– Therefore, from next year, I promise two very important changes for our pensioners. Pension indexation will always be higher than inflation, with a minimum increase of 150 PLN per month. We owe our seniors respect and care. As president, I will be their guarantor – the presidential candidate continued.

? Seniors will lose over 800 PLN as a result of D. Tusk’s government’s deception. This is unacceptable. As President of the Republic of Poland, I will strive to ensure indexation is always higher than inflation with a minimum pension increase of 150 PLN per month. I will be the guarantor of state care for Seniors! #Nawrocki2025 pic.twitter.com/ZOdwyzExBD

– A third agreement has been reached with the President, but the balance of this agreement remains zero. There are [no presidential signatures on ambassadorial nominations] – stated Radosław Sikorski on TOK FM.

– Practices from the times of Donald Tusk’s first governments are returning. Last Saturday, a demonstration took place in Zgorzelec, on the border with Germany. A demonstration whose aim was to protest, to show opposition to Poland accepting illegal migrants, illegal migrants being pushed from Germany. There is much to suggest that a provocation, a police provocation, occurred – Mariusz Błaszczak said at a press conference.

– The police did not shield the demonstrators, and strange individuals appeared who were shouting unacceptable slogans, so this resembles the practice from the times of Donald Tusk’s first governments, when the Russian hut burned down during the Independence March – he continued.

– We will ask the Minister of Interior and Administration about the police's conduct on Saturday during the demonstration in Zgorzelec. The demonstration was organized legally, there were no police who, as a standard, secure such demonstrations, it was strange conduct – he went on to say.

– When we see further photos and hear accounts from the demonstrators about the group of people, strange people who appeared, whose presence was used by the German media as a form of attack against Poland, then we are dealing with a bizarre situation. […] We will be approaching the Minister of Interior with a demand for explanations – he added.

– There is indeed a philosophical difference between our nationalists and the government. PiS colleagues believe that Poland's security should be entrusted to the mercy of President Trump. They are right that Europe is not yet ready for independent deterrence of Putin, but they oppose even the attempt to build this European pillar of NATO. Even though the Americans themselves warn us: listen, we have our rivalry with China and we will not always be able to come to your aid in every circumstance – said Radosław Sikorski on TOK FM.

– PiS colleagues believe that any attempt to strengthen Europe as Europe is anti-American, and I disagree with that, and Americans encourage us to take greater responsibility for our security, both nationally and as Europe — he continued.

– I spoke with General Kellogg, and I received assurances that the United States will not cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink, which is very important – stated Radosław Sikorski on TOK FM.

– If Ukraine were forced to capitulate, if, for example, Russia were to take over Ukraine's industrial and human resources, its largest army on our side of Europe, i.e., the Ukrainian army, then this calculation would change, so we must prepare for Russia's capacity for aggression by the end of the decade – said Radosław Sikorski on TOK FM.

– It's quite peculiar that the Minister of Defence [Błaszczak] trusts the German press more than the Polish government. And speaking seriously, their government used to abolish, invalidate contracts, for instance, for helicopters, which would be very useful today, while our government has confirmed that all honestly concluded contracts will be respected – said Radosław Sikorski in TOK FM.

– I'd be glad to know what our opposition thinks of this reset [with Russia], because once, and they still bring it up today, they criticized Donald Tusk for it. Back then, in completely different times, Putin was only murdering in detail and there were 5-minute photo ops, and today we have hour-long talks [between the US and Russia], and I don't hear any criticism. But we in Poland are clear that Vladimir Putin is a liar – stated Radosław Sikorski on TOK FM.

– I generally try to maintain discretion regarding my conversations with the President, but since it was the President himself who shared this information with journalists, I can confirm that such a proposal was indeed made, which, I must say, surprised me. I recall that Ambassador, Senator Klich cannot represent Poland in Washington due to his role in the alleged Smolensk attack. Therefore, in Washington, Klich is the Smolensk attacker, but in New York, he would have been the Smolensk attacker. I will say that in the logical systems I am familiar with, this does not fit – he continued.

– Warsaw is no longer a safe city. I strongly emphasize that there are over 10,000 vacancies in the police force in Warsaw. And what are the Ministry of the Interior and Administration and the Ministry of Justice doing? They have appointed a special team to analyze police interventions during the Law and Justice government’s tenure, further discouraging young people from serving in the police – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

– It is also very characteristic that Rafał Trzaskowski has allocated 20 million zlotys for the support of the Polish police in recent years, while allocating 40 million zlotys for the support of the LGBT community – he continued.

PiS also published a video spot regarding this issue.

? This is a scandal! ? Warsaw, under the rule of Rafał Trzaskowski, is no longer a safe city. We have a landslide increase in crime, and Tusk’s coalition, instead of supporting those who defend us, has created a special team to hold police officers accountable for their service. pic.twitter.com/UgTkNHLYjF

– The bill that was submitted by Donald Tusk's government, because I would like to remind you that it is a government bill, not a parliamentary one, so even though the coalition clearly lacks a majority on this matter in parliament, it is a government bill. In our view, it does not solve the issue, it does not solve the problem. […] We will make a decision in the parliamentary chamber – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference, when asked whether PiS would support lowering the health contribution for entrepreneurs.

"From the media information reaching us, it appears that this gentleman [Grzegorz Horodko] played football with Donald Tusk, and I remind you that Donald Tusk is the incumbent Prime Minister. If he played football with someone like that, we must ask ourselves if Poland is safe, and what influence Donald Tusk's acquaintances have on our country's security," Mariusz Błaszczak stated at a press conference, when asked if Karol Nawrocki had been properly vetted in connection with Onet's findings regarding the connections of the candidate supported by PiS to neo-Nazi circles.

– We agreed on something and we should deliver it. I am convinced that we will fight for the health contribution, just as we are fighting for State Treasury companies. They threw us out once, we will try a second time. The health contribution was not delivered, we will push again. Because we agreed to this with the people and I do not foresee any compromises on this matter – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

President Duda is heading to Toruń, where he will participate in a ceremony to unveil more names on the Memorial Plaques dedicated to Poles murdered for saving Jews during the German occupation.

The Head of State is accompanied by Karol Nawrocki, who published a photo on social media with the caption "We're starting.".

– The defense industry is an absolute priority. Today, we do not have a defense industry in Europe that would guarantee security, not in any country. Even the sum of our industries does not guarantee this security, so it is absolutely justified to place and direct a stream of money towards this goal – stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a security conference in the Sejm.

– I am a great supporter of good transatlantic relations. I believe we have a good history, and the example of Tadeusz Kościuszko, who is a hero to Poles, is also a hero to Americans. He is a symbol of the fight for our freedom and yours, for the freedom of Poland and the United States; he is a good patron of these transatlantic relations. We know that Poland has an important mission to fulfill here; I believe in this relationship, and they will only be partnership when Europe is more engaged – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a security conference in the Sejm.

– We know today that we can no longer ensure security in Europe solely through close economic cooperation, as we believed for decades; those times are gone. That prescription was a good response to what many analysts today call the post-war era. In an era that many analysts are no longer afraid to describe as pre-war, we must focus on European integration, on cooperation, on building peace through shared concern for our defense – stated Szymon Hołownia at a security conference in the Sejm.

– It turns out we are too weak to confront those who today base their vision of the future of Europe and the world solely on strength. We must respond to this as Europe, as member states of the European Union – he continued.

– Zelensky is not asking us today to send soldiers to Ukraine. This discussion, forgive me, I will say it directly, is in my assessment a substitute discussion. It's a substitute discussion because he is asking us for money so that he can build this line of drones and defenses that he needs to gain an advantage in the negotiations that are currently taking place and will likely continue – said Szymon Hołownia at a security conference in the Sejm.

– So, Rafał Brzoska and I agreed that concurrently and in parallel to our joint work with government representatives, who are seated to my right and cooperating with us on deregulation, we will also prepare recommendations for changes to European law where they seem necessary – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

– I must say that the impetus you have provided with your determination and fresh thinking on deregulation, we are trying to translate into a European impetus as well. I have, as you know, the capabilities of the European Commission, very optimistic news from Brussels. The fact that the EC has decided on specific deregulatory acts, on withdrawing 40 legal acts, is of course a first step, a preface, but I know a bit about how European institutions operate, and believe me, just like with any administration in any country, administrations, parliaments, legislative services, everyone is rather accustomed to creating new laws. And so, even without ill will, but to over-regulate our reality – he continued.

– I also thank the social side for its engagement, not only in cooperation with the government, but also with politicians and opposition circles. I say this with the awareness that we will need inter-sectoral support for many solutions, we will be preparing draft laws together with the social side, and therefore we will be seeking a parliamentary majority and more broadly, because it's not just about the act of voting in the future, but about a sense of common interests – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

– We will likely have a shared, ambitious goal, presenting which deregulations could be finalized as early as May. If these works between the government and social teams truly progress in this manner, and both sides inform me of their utmost goodwill, a positive spirit, and that it's working, and if what President Brzoska initiated in terms of convincing other circles about these solutions proves effective, then I don't rule out that the pace could be record-breaking – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

– By definition, the taxpayer is innocent unless we prove in the clarification process that an error or serious fault has occurred somewhere. Therefore, it won't be the taxpayer who has to prove their situation, but the tax office that will have this obligation. If they don't demonstrate anything wrong, the taxpayer is innocent by definition. Waiving penalties for unintentional, accidental errors – we're talking about the small, everyday mistakes. Accountants, bookkeepers, small entrepreneurs fill out documentation and sometimes make mistakes, not intentionally, not to deceive anyone – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

– We will also try to rationalize penalties here, in the sense that this feeling of threat, you know, I'm running a business, oh my, I'm suspected from the outset of doing something wrong. So, together with the Minister of Justice, we will work to ensure that honest people, to use a classic phrase, have nothing to fear – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

– Polish entrepreneurship is our national treasure. It’s high time to free it from the thicket of absurd regulations. The simpler, the better. This will be a breakthrough year. The first Brzoska package has been handed over for implementation. Machetes unleashed – Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on social media.

Polska przedsiębiorczość to nasz skarb narodowy. Najwyższy czas uwolnić ją z gąszczu absurdalnych przepisów. Im prościej, tym lepiej. To będzie rok przełomu. Pierwszy pakiet Brzoski przekazany do realizacji. Maczety w ruch.

"– I took the same stance 3 or 4 years ago regarding what was happening on the eastern border, exactly identical, because back then it was a hybrid war and it is today. PiS failed to establish any border; they put up a fence that was completely porous, they couldn't even hammer a stake straight into the ground," said Rafał Trzaskowski on the program "Najważniejsze pytania" (The Most Important Questions) on Polsat News.

"– Non-governmental organizations or artists who want to be the conscience and speak about humanitarian issues play a completely different role. They have a hundred percent right to do so. A politician makes different decisions; they simply have to behave responsibly. 3-4 years ago, it was an element of hybrid warfare, we stated exactly the same thing, and today we are effectively securing the border, the government is doing it with the help of Operation East Shield," he continued.

When asked about the conduct of Michał Szczerba, Dariusz Joński, and other Civic Platform MPs who appeared at the border at the time, Trzaskowski replied: "– If there was some element of humanitarian aid, what's wrong with that? The party's stance and my personal stance have always been exactly the same – that it is an element of hybrid warfare. And if someone gave food to women and children who also found themselves there because of Lukashenko and Putin, what's wrong with that?"

"– However, I was not there at the border. I said exactly the same thing 3 or 4 years ago as I am saying today," he pointed out.

– If I become president, I will be an independent president who will build relations with President Trump. I have been building relationships with Republicans for decades, since I was a 19-year-old who went on a scholarship to the USA, to which Republicans invited me. I have many friends, Georgette Mosbacher is one of them, who is very close to President Trump. So, I will simply build these relationships – said Rafał Trzaskowski in the program "Najważniejsze pytania" (The Most Important Questions) on Polsat News.

– Let everyone close their eyes and think: on that yellow chair in the White House, would someone like me, who has cut their teeth in diplomacy, knows Republican politicians, and knows how to talk to them, better defend Polish interests, or people – like my most important competitors – who have zero experience in this matter? You just need to realize this – said Rafał Trzaskowski on the program “Najważniejsze pytania” (The Most Important Questions) on Polsat News.

– Ukrainians, if they want us as their closest ally, must take our historical sensitivities into account. This is absolutely clear to me; it should even be considered their raison d'état to have good relations with us, and clearly, the recognition of our historical truths must be present – said Rafał Trzaskowski in the program “The Most Important Questions” on Polsat News.

– Ukrainians have a problem admitting that the crimes against Poles were of a genocidal nature, that they were planned ethnic cleansings. They have a problem with this, and we need to talk about it. But the most important thing is that we must start with exhumations, with what is absolutely obvious – he continued.

– Regarding the interpretation of what happened – here, some divergence may perhaps appear. But the most important Polish interests must be recognized. It is truly in the interest of Ukrainians to resolve these matters in a way that the Polish side finds satisfactory, so that we can move forward – he added.

– First and foremost, Karol Nawrocki is an obvious person who should have been on that flight, because he is the President of the Institute of National Remembrance, and today is the National Day of Remembrance of Poles Saving Jews, so it's a clear matter – said Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News, when asked about the idea of inviting Karol Nawrocki onto the presidential plane.

– This was a trip and journey of the president today as part of his state duties, let's not forget that Karol Nawrocki is the President of the Institute of National Remembrance […]. It has nothing to do with the campaign, I am convinced of that – he continued.

– I have learned over the past 20-something years of dealing with the EU that if you have arguments, if you are tough, you simply influence the change in EU policy. I mean, excuse me, we have taken in millions of Ukrainians, so we have done our part when it comes to solidarity – said Rafał Trzaskowski in the program “Najważniejsze pytania” (Most Important Questions) on Polsat News.

– If someone says: “you will pay for those you don't accept,” I say: “great, we'll pay. We will pay you for these 20,000, and you will pay us for the millions of Ukrainians.” Excuse me, do we have to pay someone? We have taken in millions of Ukrainians – he emphasized.

– In 2015, I included in the EU summit conclusions that if we are to participate in any European solutions regarding migration, our effort in helping Ukraine must be recognized. Because even then, I was afraid that in 2014 we would have a wave of refugees after Crimea. So, if someone wants us to pay, let them pay us first for the Ukrainians – he indicated.

– I am convinced that the President hasn't even read such an article, because he has a lot of work to do, he is doing his job – said Marcin Mastalerek in Polsat News, when asked if he thought President Andrzej Duda had asked Karol Nawrocki about the Onet article describing the acquaintance of the PiS-supported candidate with a neo-Nazi.

– There is no point in making a press review out of something that the spokesperson for the Institute of National Remembrance immediately showed to be simply a lie. That article was a lie, and should we bring lies to the president and show them to him? After all, the IPN spokesperson showed emails, documents, proving that the article is untrue altogether, why even talk about it – he continued.

– These [pieces of information] have no significance whatsoever for the president, and no one will bother his head with such things, and they have no significance for the campaign, because it is clear that the entire state apparatus, all services are hunting Karol Nawrocki; this is not an equal campaign, he is facing the entire state apparatus – he went on to say.

– We will not accept any refugees, because we have done a lot of work for the EU. And I will say more: the EU has given us ironclad arguments by saying that securing our eastern border and the East Shield are European projects – said Rafał Trzaskowski in the program “Najważniejsze pytania” (The Most Important Questions) on Polsat News.

– It was a masterpiece to register this as a European project. And PiS is so stupid that they don't even understand it – he added.

– Today, Donald Tusk's entire state apparatus is working to destroy, to annihilate Law and Justice. Nobody hid that from them at all, what's more, Donald Tusk promised it. […] Szymon Hołownia and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz are paying the price for this; they said 'we will be the third way,' and Donald Tusk promised revenge. Donald Tusk is retaliating, but Szymon Hołownia and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz are losing – said Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News.

– Today, Konfederacja is starting to become the third way – he continued.

– If Germany really wants to return some migrants to us, if that happens, we will have to close the border. […] The Schengen Area can always be suspended – said Rafał Trzaskowski on the program “Najważniejsze pytania” (Most Important Questions) on Polsat News.

– Excuse me, one moment – Germany made a mistake, and Merkel made a mistake in 2014 by saying: come over. We explained to the Germans: first, let's secure the borders, then let's solve the problem externally, let's fight smugglers, rather than sending a signal that we are ready for everyone. […] Merz clearly states that Merkel made a mistake, Merkel doesn't admit to it […]. Germany made a mistake. Well, we will not pay for German mistakes – he continued.

– If Germany took in these refugees – so be it, they sent such a signal to the whole world. And if they want to return them to us and transport them to Poland simply because they crossed the Polish border, then that is an argument to temporarily suspend Schengen, if they were to present us with such a dilemma. And Germany must know this – he indicated.

– There is no mobilization yet, today Poland is living through international affairs, living through Ukraine, living through Donald Trump, there is little talk about the elections, which is why these polls reflect certain momentary phenomena – said Marcin Mastalerek in Polsat News, when asked about the small difference between Nawrocki and Mentzen in the poll.

– I am convinced that it is 99% impossible. A miracle would have to happen. Law and Justice has too large a voter base, and in the largest groups, those that are always mobilized, while Confederation still has too small a one – he continued, when asked if overtaking was possible.

– Of course, a miracle can always happen, but as long as Law and Justice does not make some terrible, cardinal mistakes, they will simply make mistakes as usual, because for example, in 2023 they did not decide to conduct a parliamentary campaign at all, they will make it, they will enter that second round. The base is too large – he went on to say.

"I'm for it" – said Rafał Trzaskowski on the program "Najważniejsze pytania" (The Most Important Questions) on Polsat News, referring to the initiative by Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk, who submitted a request to include a bill abolishing the Church Fund in the government's legislative work agenda.

– Nobody spoke to me. They probably know that in my first year of university, I joined the youth wing of Law and Justice, and I simply hold views similar to Law and Justice. Of course, these views have evolved, as I joined the party of Professor Lech Kaczyński – said Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News, when asked about Confederation's talks with people from the President's circle about transfers to their party.

– We are talking solely and exclusively about Radosław Sikorski and Donald Tusk’s government starting to adhere to the Constitution and law. If they begin to adhere to the Constitution and law and return to the 30-year practice, then there will be a compromise. If they do not do so, then there will not be – Marcin Mastalerek said on Polsat News, when asked about the issue of ambassadors.

– I was a skeptic from the beginning […] because the logic of the campaign dictates that Donald Tusk simply needs conflict – he continued.

– Some of our colleagues from PSL are hiding behind Andrzej Duda today and saying: why should we do this, as Andrzej Duda will veto it anyway. When it becomes known that the President will sign these bills, all three we are talking about [concerning the liberalization of abortion law, registered partnerships, and the abolition of the Church Fund], this argument will be taken off the table – said Rafał Trzaskowski on the program "Najważniejsze pytania" (Most Important Questions) on Polsat News.

– And the fact that in politics you need to persuade your partner and perhaps make some concessions in another area – that's how politics works. But I am convinced that the pressure on my colleagues from PSL, with whom I have good relations, will be so great that we will manage to persuade them both to abolish the Church Fund, and to liberalize the anti-abortion law, and to adopt some form of registered partnership law – he assessed.

– If there is someone I personally knew who deserved an award and a decoration, it was the late Barbara Skrzypek. If this government, if Donald Tusk were doing half as good a job as prime minister as Mrs. Barbara did her job, working for Jarosław Kaczyński, let's recall, the former prime minister, then Poland today would be a land flowing with milk and honey – said Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News.

– I believe she is a person who deserves to be decorated like no other – he continued.

– Of all the people I've met, Barbara Skrzypek most deserved an award – he went on to say.

– President Andrzej Duda put forward the proposal for Nuclear Sharing long before J.D. Vance entered politics and took any political office. President Duda is much more experienced and knows one thing: one must consistently present one's position – said Marcin Mastalerek in Polsat News.

– One must consistently present one's position, and I am convinced, or rather, I know, that the President has further steps he will take on this matter and will consistently advocate for Polish interests. And if we have another opportunity to talk with President J.D. Vance […] I will gladly explain the Polish context to him and ask him a question: and in what way, Mr. President, are we worse than Belgium, which spends 1.6% of its GDP [on defense], which has your weapons, or than Germany? – he continued.

– I am ready to talk all the time. […] Often, some people even accuse me of polarizing too little, of writing too few malicious posts on Twitter, of not waving the stick enough. I am a person of compromise, I am a person who, above all, very much wants to reach an agreement and restore some sense of community, at least on matters of security – said Rafał Trzaskowski in the program “Najważniejsze pytania” (Most Important Questions) on Polsat News.

– However, I also have strong views. On the issues of liberalizing the anti-abortion law, everyone knows what my views are. And absolutely nothing has changed here – he continued.

– I demand that we stick to the facts. I did not remove any crosses. […] I only made the decision that we would not be hanging new crosses when we hand over new spaces where identity cards are issued, which seemed absolutely natural to me, because crosses simply don't hang in such places. But because such questions sometimes reached me, whether a priest should bless a place, or whether to hang a cross somewhere, I said: no. And in the end, we simply regulated this matter – said Rafał Trzaskowski in the program 'The Most Important Questions' on Polsat News.

– Karol Nawrocki was supposed to be a civic candidate, but he turned out to be, above all, an unserious candidate. Not just an unserious candidate, but an unserious person altogether. The fact that he had a dual identity is one thing, but the fact that he, as Batyr, praised Nawrocki – well, that's truly just laughable – stated Agnieszka Pomaska on the program "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.

– It makes him a laughingstock as a candidate, and we also know what happened with that 'civic' aspect. Jarosław Kaczyński comes out, urges people to donate to Nawrocki's campaign, with PiS MPs behind him, so he is neither civic nor credible and is heading down a path of sheer ridicule – she continued.

– I remember at the beginning of the campaign, when he was announced as a candidate, we had information about a report concerning Nawrocki and his various strange connections. This report was ignored by Jarosław Kaczyński. I think that today even Jarosław Kaczyński might simply regret it, because in the PiS ranks, there's noticeable concern about this candidate, you can see how PiS MPs are downcast and not very determined to defend Karol Nawrocki, because what is there to defend – said Agnieszka Pomaska on TVN24.

– We are living in very turbulent times. We need a president who will guarantee security and a sense of security, who will be a partner, both in the European Union, and in the United States or Canada. Please imagine who would be sitting next to Donald Trump, next to the Prime Minister of Canada or European leaders, and please imagine what Rafał Trzaskowski's conversations would look like, what Mr. Mentzen's or Mr. Nawrocki's conversations would look like. Well, we are talking about a chasm – stated Agnieszka Pomaska on TVN24.

– Is there anything you would criticize the Tusk government for? – asked Przemysław Szubartowicz on the program “The Most Important Questions” on Polsat News.

– Of course, there is. Faster with the settlements. The deregulation package should have happened immediately and implementation should have taken place within the next few weeks. […] There are a number of things that should have been done much faster. For example, the health contribution. It's good that the bill has appeared, it's very good that we are moving in this direction, but I believe we should be moving even faster – said Rafał Trzaskowski.

– I would very much like to and I fervently believe that this duo, or rather trio, of Prime Minister Tusk, Minister Sikorski, and President Trzaskowski, will truly be the highest, super league and an example for all of Europe – said Agnieszka Pomaska on TVN24.

– What Jarosław Kaczyński and his female and male colleagues from PiS are saying and telling are simply lies and nonsense. I want to state that unequivocally. All these decisions made at the European level concerning the Common Security and Defence Policy strengthen Poland – stated Agnieszka Pomaska on TVN24.

– Karol Nawrocki is officially a candidate for the President of the Republic of Poland. For months, the media have been lying that he would be replaced by another candidate. Now they continue to lie, and we are implementing our plan day by day. To victory! – wrote Paweł Szefernaker on social media.

#Nawrocki2025 oficjalnie kandydatem na Prezydenta RP ??‼️
Przez ostatnie miesiące media kłamały, że @NawrockiKn będzie wymieniony na innego kandydata. Teraz dalej kłamią a my realizujemy dzień po dniu nasz plan. Do zwycięstwa! pic.twitter.com/4RqoD7o2KK

– Nearly 60% of Poles admit that life under the rule of R. Trzaskowski's party is becoming poorer for them. The upcoming presidential elections will be a referendum on D. Tusk's government. Therefore, I ask for your vote. Let's together show this incompetent team a red card! – this is how Karol Nawrocki's official account promotes a new recording with the candidate.

? Niemal 60% Polaków przyznaje, że pod rządami partii R. Trzaskowskiego żyje im się coraz biedniej. Najbliższe wybory prezydenckie będą referendum nad rządem D. Tuska. Dlatego proszę Was o głos. Wspólnie pokażmy tej nieudolnej ekipie, czerwoną kartkę! #Nawrocki2025 pic.twitter.com/GfleAzH6LY
