– We want to express our firm objection to the way the state television, Telewizja Polska S.A. in liquidation, is organizing today's presidential debate […]. Approximately two weeks ago, all campaign teams participated in an organizational meeting before the debate […]. Telewizja Polska has decided to treat the campaign teams in a completely non-objective manner – said Wojciech Machulski, press spokesperson for Sławomir Mentzen's election campaign team, at a press conference.

– When we were presented with the debate rules, we raised our doubts about the objectivity of the Telewizja Polska representative who is to moderate today's debate, namely Ms. Dorota Wysocka-Schnepf, who is unfortunately not an objective journalist and has also produced many materials in this campaign that directly attacked presidential candidates – he continued.

– Telewizja Polska has unfortunately deceived all the campaign teams in organizing the debate, because after a discussion lasting almost half an hour on this matter, when Mr. Grzegorz Sajór and other Telewizja Polska representatives completely ignored our objection […] Mr. Grzegorz Sajór promised that by the next day the management of Telewizja Polska would make an appropriate decision regarding the moderation of the debate, that they would reconsider the matter and that this information would be conveyed to all campaign teams – he went on to say.

– Despite the passage of these two weeks, no such decision has arrived. Yesterday, we finally received the debate regulations for the second time, with updated cosmetic changes, and Ms. [Wysocka-Schnepf] is still listed there – he added.

– We will of course take up the challenge; today Sławomir Mentzen, as well as other candidates along with their campaign teams, are taking up this challenge, they will answer questions, however, this is not how we imagined this final debate, this conversation about Poland, in 2025 – said Grzegorz Płaczek, chairman of the Confederation Parliamentary Club.
