– President Donald J. Trump welcomes Polish presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki to the Oval Office – the White House informed on social media.

– Great meeting with POTUS. It was an honor to discuss the bright future of Poland-USA relations – Karol Nawrocki wrote on the X platform.

– At the end of these meetings, I met with US President Donald Trump, even though this meeting was not on the official agenda. President Trump said „you will win”, so he said I would win. I interpreted this as a kind of wish for my success in the upcoming elections, and also an awareness, and I can say this after a whole day, that the American administration is aware of what is happening in Poland – stated Karol Nawrocki in an interview with TV Republika.

– I wasn't particularly impressed by [Karol Nawrocki's visit to the Oval Office], because a few months ago I was already convinced that such a weak candidate would have to seek support from Trump – said Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

– After all, PiS is entirely pro-Trump, as if not noticing that the whole world has a problem with Trump, that Trump is actually tearing the world apart. But they're cuddling up to him. That didn't surprise me – he continued.

– And furthermore, the main point is – the president in Poland will be chosen by Poles, not Trump and not Americans. Therefore, even if Mr. Nawrocki spent a month in the United States, I don't believe it would add any particular weight to him. Not to mention that Poles are increasingly distrustful of America's actions – he pointed out.

– My impression is that this is more an act of desperation – he added.

– I see in this a manifestation of PiS's unprecedented hypocrisy, because when Polish MEPs, in accordance with the powers they possess, complained in the EU about the PiS government violating EU law through an attack on free courts, they were branded as traitors – Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz said on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

– And here Mr. Nawrocki is fawning over Trump and snitching on his country. Excuse me, this is a kind of hypocrisy that is at the level of comedy – he stated.

– I remind you that these interventions, which were carried out by MPs of the then opposition in Brussels, were not related to elections, but were related to evident violations of the EU legal system, confirmed by judgments of the European Court of Justice. It was a formal intervention and formal matters. This is something completely different from Mr. Nawrocki rubbing up against Republican senators and snitching on his own country. There is no symmetry here – he argued.

“Today is Flag Day of the Republic of Poland. A flag on which white symbolizes purity, nobility, and the pursuit of good, and red symbolizes courage, valor, and blood shed for the homeland. Let the white and red flutter on every Polish home, just like today, here, on the roof of the Polish government's seat,” said Prime Minister Donald Tusk in a recording published on X.

– Of course, always representing Poland, for many years, in various capacities on the international stage, I try not to discuss, not to speak ill of Poland, not to discuss our internal problems, but today many people, as the editor mentioned, asked on the one hand about the irresponsible gestures and words of Donald Tusk, so I was asked if it wasn't fake that Donald Tusk pointed a toy gun at Donald Trump's back and that [they] considered Donald Tusk a Soviet agent – stated Karol Nawrocki in an interview with TV Republika.

– Today I became convinced that this does not go unnoticed among congressmen or among Donald Trump's advisors and ministers. Such gestures, of course, complicate certain Polish-American relations – he continued.

– Literally in the last few hours, some mob led by Braun forced its way into the municipal headquarters in Biała Podlaska, tearing down the flag, occupying the office. These are events that witness some kind of social anarchization and the breakdown of the fundamental consensus: that a doctor is there to help, a nurse is there to help, and occupying public buildings and tearing down flags is simply a crime – Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz said on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

– I see a common denominator that – frankly speaking – deeply concerns me. Because what Braun has done and is doing is simply an attack on the state, and I am surprised by the state's helplessness in the face of what is happening. Braun's attempt to arrest a doctor is simply a violation of all rules. […] Forgive me, but apprehending a Member of Parliament protected by immunity in the act does not halt proceedings against him. He is not a sacred cow – he emphasized.

– In my opinion, the state is unprepared for this type of change, because when we talk about attacks on doctors and nurses, and the violence that is occurring, this is not a story that began today. This is a story that has its roots in the atmosphere on the internet from the time of the pandemic, where fueled by Russian propaganda, people's brains were simply turned into kefir – he stated.

– I believe that in Biała Podlaska, the explanation that they didn't want to allow escalation – just a moment, and if it's the Green Men together with Mr. Braun and some mob that will be seizing public buildings, will we still say we shouldn't allow escalation? No, there must be escalation, but from the state's side – Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz said on Polsat News's “Graffiti.”

– Tomasz Siemoniak is my friend and a politician I greatly respect. But the problem isn't at Tomasz Siemoniak's level. The problem is at the level of police decisions made in literally minutes or a quarter of an hour on the spot. It wasn't Tomasz Siemoniak commanding in Biała Podlaska – he continued.

– I believe that anyone is needed, as long as it's not Trzaskowski, who will set certain boundaries for Donald Tusk's government – said Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Wnet.

– In this case, I think we can speak, I don't know yet about what rank, but still about a certain success or a skillful move by Karol Nawrocki's strategists, who arranged this meeting for him. Of course, we know that most likely no conversation beyond a greeting took place there – stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Wnet.

– I think we know, I think we can calmly and with a clear conscience say from the facts we know that it was a photo opportunity and little more than that, because firstly, the American president is such a busy man that presidents of many countries in office are unable to get an individual meeting with him – he added.

– In my opinion, the very fact of appearing in the Oval Office at this meeting of a religious nature is such a strong signal that some contacts exist, that these contacts were used, and it will probably work its way into the debate in Poland – said Krzysztof Bosak in Radio Wnet.

– You want me to comment on the potential consequences of Trzaskowski's victory? Well, that would be a systemic and ideological massacre, a shift of our state towards the complete, unchecked rule of Civic Platform, the emboldening of PO's cadres, the emboldening of the Left's cadres, and the implementation of a program that, in my opinion, would lead to the destruction of the state – stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Wnet.

– They will call it restoring the rule of law or some sort of European-liberal-left program, but in reality, in my opinion, it will be an attempt at a cultural and systemic revolution, which, in my estimation, won't last long. Because at worst, these governments will reach their constitutional term, meaning two more years, and then they will collapse; I cannot imagine such a majority being renewed – he continued.

– "Five years ago, we discussed how Słupsk lost its maritime office. I want to tell you that this maritime office will return to Słupsk as early as January 1st next year," stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Słupsk.

– “The upcoming elections are also about this. Will we have a president who will be the president of just one tribe, or will we have a president who will be the president of all of you, all Polish women and men?” Rafał Trzaskowski stated in Słupsk.

– Someone wanted to use the white and red [flag] to divide us, and perhaps providence punished them. Because the white and red is meant to unite us, because we all fit under the white and red – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Słupsk.

– I implore you, these upcoming elections are also about ensuring we are never indifferent to human harm, to attacks, to attempts to divide us. Let us stand together and never be indifferent, and then all of Poland will win – stated Rafał Trzaskowski in Słupsk.

– On behalf of Karol Nawrocki’s campaign team, I thank you for the numerous positive comments in recent days. However, two very important weeks of campaigning lie ahead. I ask everyone for their support. Hard work and humility are the only path to victory! For Poland – Paweł Szefernaker wrote on the X platform.

W imieniu sztabu #Nawrocki2025 dziękuję za liczne pozytywne komentarze z ostatnich dni. Przed nami jednak bardzo ważne dwa tygodnie kampanii. Proszę wszystkich o wsparcie. Ciężka praca i pokora to jedyna droga do zwycięstwa! Dla Polski ??

– The flag today reminds us once again that we are a community. What does that mean, translating it into politics? That the flag should be a reminder to us that we should be a standard, not a weather vane. A standard, meaning something that shows where our values and sacred principles are, not a weather vane that blows left or right, depending on global trends or polls – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Brzeziny.

– A politician should be a standard, not a weather vane, and the flag of the Republic of Poland should be a standard, not a stick to beat each other over the head with. The flag is not a gadget for electoral debates. The white and red flag is a symbol under which people died – he continued.

– Today, it must also be said clearly and firmly that under the white and red flag, there is no room for nationalism. Nationalism, in any form, must be met with a firm ‘no’. Patriotism – yes, nationalism – no. Whether it is political or economic, nationalism – no, patriotism – yes – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Brzeziny.

– Patriotism is about standing up for something, for something positive, while nationalism is always against something and someone. This is the simple difference that is also worth remembering these days – he continued.

– When Karol Nawrocki went to see Donald Trump […] and concluded it with the information that Donald Trump told him, 'Karol, you will win,' I would like to have the certainty or conviction that Karol Nawrocki grabbed him by the hand and said, 'No, Donald. Rather say: Poland, you will win' – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Brzeziny.

He continued: – If Nawrocki is to win, and that was Donald Trump's intention, it will be an event that solely builds Karol Nawrocki's political ego and improves the ratings of one party in Poland. However, what is most important for Poland today is for Poland to win, and Poland will win today if it is a strong country in the center of Europe that cannot be manipulated.

He stated: – I don't get the impression that Karol Nawrocki achieved anything for Poland in the Oval Office. If he achieved something, I'd be happy to hear about it. However, every Polish politician who goes to the United States should go there not for a selfie […], but to arrange some Polish matters – he stated.

– What did Nawrocki arrange in the Oval Office? Something for himself or something for Poland? This is the key question, because it will allow us to find out whether in two weeks we will have, perhaps, in the second round, an egomaniac who only cares about himself, or someone who truly worries and cares about Poland today – he emphasized.

– I hope to be able to meet with my counterpart in the not-too-distant future – I don't know if it will be before the elections, we are currently arranging a meeting – with the Speaker of the [House of Representatives – ed.] Congress, Mike Johnson – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in Brzeziny.

– If this meeting takes place, it will be exactly like my previous meetings with politicians from across the ocean and in what I am building in Europe. Not to seek their electoral support […], but to handle matters important to Poland – he stated.

– Thank you for remembering your homeland, for the white and red colours, thank you for teaching your children the Polish language, Polish history, Polish culture, Polish prayer. I thank all the teachers, all the educators, I thank our priests, our religious sisters, all those who carry Polishness and provide spiritual and patriotic support to our compatriots abroad – stated President Andrzej Duda at the Ceremony on the occasion of the Day of the Polish Diaspora and Poles Abroad and the Day of the Polish Flag.

– As President of the Republic, I thank all my compatriots around the world from the bottom of my heart for this. I thank in particular those who achieve this sometimes in very difficult circumstances, often with very modest means – he added.

– I know that Adam Bielan and his entire crew have been working intensively with the American administration for a long time. […] Karol Nawrocki's campaign team is efficient, and I want to state clearly and unequivocally here, and I will be saying this for the next 12 days: either Hołownia in the second round, or there is a very high risk that in a month Karol Nawrocki will be president – Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference in Brzeziny.

– We need to say this clearly and openly today. Just as we said a year and a half ago: either the Third Way, or PiS's third term, so today, seeing the strength of some candidates, their combativeness, the efficiency of their campaign teams, and seeing what is good and what is bad for Poland, we must clearly state: either Hołownia in the second round, or Nawrocki in the Palace. That is the stake we are playing for today – he indicated.

– We are waiting for specifics on this matter, because these are beautiful, important, momentous words delivered in the form of an address on an important day. However, the Prime Minister is a historian, I was once an Olympian in history […], we often discuss history with the Prime Minister and I would gladly debate him on this matter – Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference in Brzeziny.

– When he speaks of the “Piast doctrine,” I am a proponent of the Jagiellonian doctrine, of a Jagiellonian Poland. A Poland composed of harmoniously functioning diverse regions. A Poland that, not in Piast times, but in Jagiellonian times, was the greatest power in Europe. It was then, strong in our diversity, strong in the power of vision and wise leadership, that we set the tone in Europe – he argued.

– Flag Day is bringing good news for Poland. The Alternative for Germany, an enemy of Poland and an ally of Confederation, has been deemed extremist and a threat to democracy – wrote Szymon Hołownia on social media.

Dzień flagi obfituje w dobre wiadomości dla Polski. Wroga Polsce Alternatywa dla Niemiec, sojusznik Konfederacji, została uznana za ekstremistyczną i groźną dla demokracji.

– That Civic Platform attacks me in this manner is no surprise at all. For a long time, it has been a party of haters, employing haters, which, besides deceiving voters and spreading hate, has little to offer. I would just like to know why the Civic Platform party is doing this, and not Rafał Trzaskowski's Electoral Committee? – Sławomir Mentzen wrote on X.

– An election campaign is underway, and a sponsored advertisement attacking a candidate in these elections should probably be paid for by an electoral committee. Otherwise, is this not perhaps a breach of campaign finance rules? – asked the Confederation candidate, sharing a screenshot.

– Elections will also be held in Poland soon. We can only hope that the forces trying to silence ordinary people do not resort to such drastic measures here – wrote Krzysztof Bosak on social media.

– Removing a candidate from the electoral process does not only displease a politician – it silences all the people who vote for them. The events in Romania are not just an attack on that country; they are an attack on democracy. If this dangerous precedent succeeds there or in France, it could happen here tomorrow – he emphasized.

– In these turbulent times, it is important to support candidates who stand up for the voice of ordinary citizens and true rule of law. Mr. George Simion has taken up the fight against injustices. His struggle reflects the struggles of citizens worldwide who refuse to be silenced – noted the Confederation politician.

Recently, the presidential election in Romania was cancelled. We warned then that Romania might become a playground for Eurocrats – detached from ordinary people and determined to hold onto power at all costs.

– White symbolizes uprightness, purity of intentions. This white is precisely the purity of intentions and uprightness, which are very important and which we must not forget. Crimson red, on the other hand, is strength, it is courage, it is also in a sense a symbol of spilled blood – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Kościerzyna.

– But one must remember that red and white must be together. The white of values and the red of strength are inseparable. Because without red, white is powerless. And red without white is blind. And we must remember that these two, our wonderful national colors, complement each other and they speak of what is most important. That courage must be combined with uprightness, that there is no strength without values – he continued.

– This is an absolutely fundamental matter today. And today we must fight for these values. Precisely today, when reality is so difficult. We will not let patriotism be taken away from us, and we will not let values be taken away from us – he went on to say.

– Above all, these elections are about ensuring no one takes away our pride in what we have all managed to achieve. I have been traveling across Poland for 8 months, and when I come here, to you, I see how Kościerzyna, how Kartuzy, how the entire region, Bytów, all the towns are changing, all the small towns, the Polish countryside, are unrecognizable, thanks to your hard work – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Kościerzyna.

– These elections are also about this. Will we choose a President of the Republic who wants to solve real problems and who will be an arbiter of Polish disputes, rather than someone who will engage only on one side – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Kościerzyna.

– I don't think [it's a turning point in the campaign], and it's rather a risky campaign move, because we know what happened in Canada, right? – stated Radosław Sikorski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

– Nationalisms have a tendency to provoke reactions, and American nationalism also provokes reactions – he added.

– At the moment, according to the latest poll, our candidate is leading by 6-7 points. I don't know if this has happened in previous first-round presidential campaigns, so it seems to me that Rafał is on a very good path to victory – stated Radosław Sikorski on Polsat News.

– I don't have such information, I suspect he didn't achieve anything. I think this is rather party-based support. In the past, the United States tended to shy away from visits to either side too close to elections – Radosław Sikorski said on Polsat News.

– We also had communication with the American embassy, which recently asked us about foreign interventions in our electoral process. I thought it was a question, but it turned out to be a forewarning – he continued.

– [The ice] has broken, the documents are starting to come in, I hope we make it in time, because the President started signing quite late, and procedures apply in these other countries too, in those where these ambassadors must submit their letters of credence, heads of state don't receive them immediately either, so I hope that in May, as many nominations and signed letters of credence as possible will reach us – stated Radosław Sikorski in Polsat News.

– Of course, Ukraine needs American investments, so there is the question of on what terms – stated Radosław Sikorski on Polsat News.

– Next week, we will be in Warsaw with the EU foreign ministers discussing what's next, what support Ukraine can count on, so that it can make rational decisions in its potential, hypothetical, talks with Russia – he continued.
