Pomaska:

It's Hard to Imagine a Third Presidential Bid for Trzaskowski
- I think it's hard to imagine [Rafał Trzaskowski's third presidential bid] today. We have to say that openly. I am not convinced that Rafał Trzaskowski would be ready for it either - said Agnieszka Pomaska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

Bielan on a Technical Government:

A Natural Idea to Resolve the Political Crisis.
- The idea of a technical government was a natural idea to resolve the political crisis we have following the presidential elections. A vast majority of Poles voted against Donald Tusk's government. We have been saying for a long time that these presidential elections, especially the second round, would be a referendum on Tusk's government - stated Adam Bielan in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

07:31

Bielan:

We Face the Rot of This Coalition
- [Donald Tusk] lost, he doesn't have public trust, yet he clings to his seat. It's hard to pry him off this seat. Whether he has a majority is possible, but we will see the final result on Wednesday. However, we know that we face the process of this coalition rotting. If it hasn't been able to achieve much in 1.5 years, and Tusk himself admitted to it, saying that now we will get to work – so what were they doing until now? What's more, the next day he was no longer in the Sejm, that's how much our little sluggard got to work – stated Adam Bielan in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

07:34

Bielan:

Tusk is Ending, We Don't Want Poland to Waste Time
- Tusk is ending, we don't want Poland to waste time, because I'll say this – if we were to look at this from the narrow party interest of PiS, Tusk should be around for as long as possible. With him as an opponent, we will win subsequent elections, however, we don't want Poland to waste time – stated Adam Bielan on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.

07:36

Bielan:

A New Parliamentary Majority or Snap Elections are Needed
- There is really no time to lose, we need new energy, and either a new parliamentary majority or snap elections are necessary - stated Adam Bielan on "Sygnały dnia" (Signals of the Day) on PR1.

07:45

Bielan Announces Parliamentary Inquiry into NASK
- Why has the report from early May, created at NASK, not been declassified to this day? We know this perfectly well. Only a parliamentary inquiry will have to clarify this. I hope that all those guilty of this process will be severely punished; if it doesn't happen now, I assure you that after the parliamentary elections, a special parliamentary inquiry will clarify this process. All individuals at NASK who classified this document, including the NASK president, extremely politicized, we have never had such a politicized NASK director, a former friend of Grzegorz Napieralski, will also answer for what he has done - stated Adam Bielan in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

08:02

Pomaska:

I'm Proud of Trzaskowski, the Campaign Staff, and Everyone Who Worked for Over 10 Million Votes
- I am very proud of Rafał Trzaskowski. This was perhaps the longest election campaign in Polish history, 8 months of intensive work. But I am also proud of the campaign staff itself and everyone who worked for this result exceeding 10 million votes. I want to emphasize – the staff wasn't just a few or a dozen people, anyone could be a member of this staff. An enormous amount of work was simply done – said Agnieszka Pomaska in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

08:15

Pomaska:

The atmosphere after the first round was one where everyone said 'no chance.' Yet, we survived those initial, most difficult two days.
- I would like to know the answer to the question of whether there was anything specific, one thing that could have been done differently to win these elections. I don't think so. Even the analyses presented publicly by journalists and political scientists indicate that there wasn't a single factor that caused us not to win these elections - said Agnieszka Pomaska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - Moreover, the atmosphere and situation after the first round of the elections were such that everyone was already saying 'there's no chance.' Yet, we survived those initial, most difficult two days of the campaign after the first round, where the distribution of forces was evident. […] I think that especially Braun's result, meaning that fourth place, we assumed that perhaps someone else would achieve that fourth result, contributed to such an atmosphere… Everyone knows how it was - she continued. - Yet, we carried on with our work, and I must say that I did not hear Rafał Trzaskowski making any mistakes between the first and second rounds of the elections - she stated.

08:17

Petition for Recount? Mastalerek: This Situation Embaresses This Government. I'm Surprised Tusk Agrees to This
- In politics, what's worst is ridiculousness, and it's the ridiculous politicians who lose. You can forgive affairs, you can forgive scandals, but voters will not forgive ridiculousness, and we are dealing with a situation that is extremely funny and embarrassing for this government - said Marcin Mastalerek in the 'Morning Interview' on RMF FM, when asked about the petition for a recount of votes in the elections and whether it should be done. - We were dealing with the most unequal and undemocratic campaign, where the government used all its resources [...] and in the end, the same government starts to whine and sniffle that the opposition falsified the elections for us, an opposition that has nothing, an opposition that was destroyed in this campaign by undemocratic methods, was supposed to have falsified them - he continued. - It is simply so ridiculous that I am surprised Donald Tusk simply agrees to such things - he went on to say.

08:25

Pomaska:

We Must Conduct a Thorough, Private Analysis and Consider What We Could Have Done Better, More
- I think, and this is our role today, to conduct such a thorough analysis – a private one, because it doesn’t serve anyone – but to conduct such an analysis and consider whether we could have done something better, more. One can always do better, one can always do more. I understand that our voters are sad, disappointed today. But we move on, forward – said Agnieszka Pomaska in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

08:28

Mastalerek:

I Said Regardless of Who Wins, I Will Not Stay in the Presidential Palace. I Cannot Imagine It
- On March 26th, here on this program with you, Mr. Editor, I said that regardless of who wins, I will not stay in the Presidential Palace. I cannot imagine it. I served President Duda, I agreed with President Duda. When I came on the first day in October 2023, I knew I would be here until August 5th, 2025 at the very latest, and that's it, and nothing has changed - said Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM, when asked if he would remain in the Presidential Palace with Karol Nawrocki.

08:31

Pomaska:

I Have No Conviction We Had Any Other, Better Candidate Than Trzaskowski
- I haven't heard any voices suggesting we made a wrong choice when KO members decided in the primaries that Rafał Trzaskowski should be that candidate - Agnieszka Pomaska said on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - I will point out that he had a huge capital of over 10 million votes from 5 years prior. He is very well-regarded as the president of Warsaw. This might be a burden in some places, but I believe he would be a president befitting the Republic - she continued. - I have a deep conviction that Rafał Trzaskowski himself did an enormous amount of work. It's a shame that it was just a little bit short - not much, but short. We don't know exactly how much was short yet, as doubts are also emerging regarding the vote count, and we are analyzing that. However, I have no conviction that we had any other, better candidate. I haven't heard of such a candidate - she pointed out.

08:33

Mastalerek:

I would like to cooperate with President Duda in the future, whatever he does
- I would naturally like to stay and cooperate with President Duda in the future, whatever he does - said Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM. - Questions about Confederation [joining it] arise from a certain misunderstanding that one can respect someone, one can appreciate someone, one can say that they were right on many matters, for example, when Law and Justice governed between 2015 and 2023, they were right. However, the fact that I have my own opinion does not mean that I am not affiliated with the Law and Justice camp - he continued.

08:38

Mastalerek:

The first round showed that it's not decided which formation will lead the right wing
- That's a question for them now, whether they want to have only yes-men, or if they want to have people who have their own opinions. I've always had my own opinion, and if they don't want people with their own opinions, I think it will end badly sooner or later, because the matter is not decided, as the first round of the presidential elections showed, which formation will lead the right wing - said Marcin Mastalerek in RMF FM, when asked if the PiS camp is associated with him. - Today, two Confederation candidates in the first round received 21% support, one 15%, the other 6%, while Law and Justice received 29%. So, I would like this formation, which I identify with, this camp of Law and Justice, to genuinely open up to young people and offer some resistance to the Confederation. If they don't do that, the most capable will go to the Confederation - he continued.

08:43

Pomaska:

We have identified at least a dozen commissions where results were incorrectly assigned
- I believe that if we say – and I believe it to be true – that every vote matters, then today we cannot ignore such signals [about irregularities in vote counting]. I am unable to say at this point what the scale is, but we have identified at least a dozen commissions where irregularities, incorrect assignment of results, occurred – said Agnieszka Pomaska in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24. - We have two weeks to file an electoral protest, and out of respect for our voters, for Rafał Trzaskowski's voters, we simply must analyze every such signal, every such voice – she added. - We have specific witnesses, specific evidence for this. We also have commission members who counted the votes, who signed the protocols, who admitted to errors or certain irregularities. All of this must be explained – she emphasized.

08:47

New Prime Minister? Mastalerek: I don't believe it. Tusk will be PM as long as he wants
- I don't believe it. Although politics is of course not a matter of faith, I believe that Donald Tusk is the most brutal politician on that side, the most experienced, capable, effective, cynical, intimidating his coalition partners - said Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM, when asked if there would be a new prime minister. - I believe that [Donald Tusk] will be prime minister as long as he wants to be, he will use the special services in the election campaign, when necessary, he will use them against his coalition partners as well - he continued.

08:51

Mastalerek:

Kosiniak-Kamysz Had a Chance to Become Prime Minister and Form a Government with PO and the Left, But Didn't Decide
- Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz had a chance to become prime minister after October '23, and not a prime minister with Law and Justice and the Confederation, but he had a chance to receive the mission to form a government and do it with Civic Platform and the Left, and such voices came to the Presidential Palace and to the President from serious individuals from the Polish People's Party - said Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM. - He did not decide then, now there would not be a majority for that - he continued.

08:57

Konfederacja-PiS-PSL Coalition? Mastalerek: Mentzen Would Have to Be a Political Suicide
- He would have to be, I think, Sławomir Mentzen, a political suicide, to go today, having a dozen or so MPs, and in polls having chances for several dozen, and significantly several dozen, to decide, as an anti-establishment party, a protest party, to go with the most, let's call it, experienced party, to support the most experienced party for prime minister - said Marcin Mastalerek in RMF FM, when asked about a Konfederacja-PiS-PSL coalition.

08:58

Pomaska:

Tusk is the undisputed leader. No one feels political emotions like he does
- I absolutely do not have that feeling [that Donald Tusk's time as the frontman of KO is slowly coming to an end]. I think that not only members of KO, but also the coalition of October 15th, do not have that feeling either - said Agnieszka Pomaska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - I have no doubt that Donald Tusk is the leader today, hence the vote of confidence. I don't think anything will happen here, there will be no surprises. Everyone knows what the goal is. Everyone knows what is on the other side - she continued. - And it will be Donald Tusk who will be such an undisputed leader, also after this Wednesday's vote of confidence. I have the feeling that no one feels political emotions like Prime Minister Donald Tusk - she indicated.

09:05

Pomaska:

Trzaskowski's Time Isn't Over. He'll Play Many More Roles, Though Not in the Immediate Future
- Rafał Trzaskowski's time isn't over. He is the President of Warsaw. I think he will play many more roles, although certainly not in the immediate future - said Agnieszka Pomaska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - Politics, especially Polish politics, is very unpredictable, dynamic, but no one will deny Rafał Trzaskowski that he is competent, experienced. I haven't heard of Rafał Trzaskowski making any cardinal mistake that would sink this campaign. It's exactly the opposite - he carried this campaign, he bore a huge burden on his shoulders for 8 months. It was a bit short, not by much, but it was short - she stated.

09:09

Mastalerek:

Tusk Decided to Hold a Referendum on Himself, the Campaign Was Just Him and Nawrocki
- Even at the end of last year, when asked how one could win an election, I was the first to say, in this studio, in fact [...] that the only chance to win an election is to hold a referendum on Donald Tusk's government, and what turned out to be the case? That before the second round, Donald Tusk decided to hold a referendum on himself. He entered the campaign, hid Rafał Trzaskowski, and in the campaign, it was just Donald Tusk and Karol Nawrocki - said Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM. - That ultimately decided it. It was a referendum on Donald Tusk, which Donald Tusk himself decided to hold, I don't know why, whether he lost his social ear - he continued.

09:14

A Talented Man Who Lost His Way in 2023 Will Fight to Be the Anti-Establishment Opposition. The Question is, Will Anyone Believe Him. Mastalerek on Zandberg
- It will be an interesting contest, because a talented man who lost his way in 2023, that is Adrian Zandberg, and I'm also surprised that nobody reminds him of the fact that he said he would not support Donald Tusk's government, and yet he did support it [...] today he has decided to be the opposition, and he will be the one fighting to be the anti-establishment opposition. The question is whether anyone will believe it or not believe it - said Marcin Mastalerek on RMF FM.

09:18

Mastalerek:

Trzaskowski Can Rebuild, He Is Certainly Talented
- He was certainly a much better candidate in 2020 than he will be in 2025, probably also because the campaign was shorter, he was a candidate from a poster back then, fresh, campaigning for 1.5 months, and already after that 1.5 months he started to weaken - said Marcin Mastalerek in RMF FM, when asked about the future of Rafał Trzaskowski. - Today he did not withstand this campaign, he let himself be pushed aside by Donald Tusk, he was nowhere to be seen in the last two weeks, whereas he was a tougher rival in 2020 than now. Will he rebuild in the future? He can rebuild, because he is certainly a talented person - he continued.

09:25

Zawisza on Razem's Plans for the 2027 Elections:

We Have a Clearly Defined Priority.
- As the Razem party, we have a very clearly defined priority and goal, which is to run independently in 2027, in a situation where we see that this government is simply not fulfilling its promises, but also the assumptions we spoke about when we were in opposition – stated Marcelina Zawisza on Polsat News.

09:25

Zawisza to Giertych:

I'd Advise a Glass of Cold Water, What He's Doing is Truly Harmful.
- Does Roman Giertych acknowledge that elections took place in 2023 and we have a new government elected? Because it was exactly the same chamber [of the Supreme Court] and exactly the same procedure. A situation where we will recognize those elections in which it went well for those we agree with, and we will question those elections in which it did not go well for those we agree with, we truly won't get far as a state – stated Marcelina Zawisza in the program "Graffiti" on Polsat News. - I would advise Mr. Giertych to really drink a glass of cold water and consider whether what he is doing is good from the perspective of the existence of the Polish state. He is behaving, quite simply, really, really harmfully – she added.

09:28

A Small Step Forward, but an Act Isn't Needed to Avoid Hiring One's Own. Zawisza on Polski2050's Anti-Inkwell Bill
- When it comes to 'cronyism,' that is, in reality, what was done under PiS, what was supposed to change but didn't, meaning appointing one's own people to state treasury companies, to agencies subordinate to ministries without competitions, and if there are competitions, they are rigged. In reality, we need a transparent process, we need groups that are excluded from this process – said Marcelina Zawisza on Polsat News.

- This [Polski2050's anti-inkwell bill] is a small step forward, but it must be said plainly, no act is needed to avoid hiring one's own people – she added.

09:28

Zawisza Critically on Leszczyna and the Healthcare Situation:

The Cry That Everyone Steals Doesn't Help.
- I would think twice if I were Minister Leszczyna, because this is essentially doing what PiS did. That is, the cry that everyone steals doesn't help in a situation where we have a really serious problem in the healthcare system - stated Marcelina Zawisza on Polsat News. - We need to invest in the healthcare system, Minister Leszczyna knows this perfectly well, because initially she didn't want to agree to lower the health contribution, and when she received information that she would lose her seat and wouldn't be able to pursue her political career, I think that was the impetus for her to [support] the lowering of the health contribution - she added.

09:29

Zawisza on Razem’s Decision Regarding a Vote of Confidence:

The Government Isn't Delivering on its Promises.
Of course we will [vote against the vote of confidence] because this government isn't delivering on the things it committed to doing. When we were all in opposition, we talked about the need to increase healthcare spending, yet this government is implementing the minimum requirements of the PiS law – Marcelina Zawisza stated on Polsat News. This government has committed to supporting various forms of social housing, yet it's spending less on housing construction than the PiS government did, which is truly an achievement in itself. On the other hand, it's blocking a bill that would help local governments build and increase funds for social housing – she continued.

11:47

Hołownia:

We Must Show Doubly That the EU Does Not Compete With NATO, But Complements It
- When it comes to security, it seems we are beginning to understand the mission that stands before us today. It must be clearly stated that it is not only the United States that has led to this with its security umbrella through NATO. This is also thanks to the European Union and how we have arranged our internal affairs - said Szymon Hołownia during the opening of the plenary session of the 73rd Conference of the European Union Affairs Committees of the Parliaments of the European Union (COSAC). - If, despite this, war is now just beyond our border, we must show doubly that the European Union does not compete with NATO, but complements it — it is a project that is meant to bring security to the citizens of the Union, and not just talk about security - he continued.

11:48

Hołownia on Using Frozen Russian Assets:

We Shouldn't Question Whether We Are Acting Right.
- We should not shift the costs of waging war in Ukraine onto ourselves. It is paradoxical that we, as Europe, would have to pay for a war that Putin started. If someone has set fire to someone else's house, it's not the neighbours who should save the person affected by the fire, but the arsonist should be held accountable – said Szymon Hołownia during the opening of the plenary session of the 73rd Conference of Speakers of European Union Parliaments (COSAC). - If we want to show people in Poland and in the European Union that we have a fundamental community of values, then we must hold the arsonist accountable. We should not question whether we are acting right by using frozen assets. That is his money; he caused the crisis, so he should pay for it. We should allocate our own funds to ensure that it never occurs to anyone to start another war in or around the European Union – he continued.

11:49

Hołownia:

There's no Left vs. Right Divide, Only Elite vs. People. The EU Must Be a Project for Europeans, Not Eurocrats
- In a global village, there's no longer a division between the left and the right – there's a division between the elite and the people. If the Union is to restart and move forward, and it should, because it's a fantastic project with a future, it must remember that its place is with the people, not with the elites – at the national or international level. The Union must once again be a project for Europeans, not for eurocrats – said Szymon Hołownia during the opening of the plenary session of the 73rd Conference of Speakers of the European Union Parliaments (COSAC).

11:50

Morawiecki on American Television:

Millions of Dollars Flowed into Trzaskowski's Camp. Without It, It Would Have Been 55 to 45.
- It happened, but because of all the liberal, leftist money involved on the side of our liberal opponent. Millions of dollars flowed into his [Rafał Trzaskowski's] political camp to support him. So, if it weren't for that, the victory would have been even greater, it would have been 55 to 45. So, this is a wonderful new era that is beginning for Poland - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on American Newsmax.

12:03

Duda:

There's a feeling post-communists want to rig the presidential election. Let's not let them take away our remaining democracy and freedom
"Attention! There is a feeling that the post-communists, in league with the liberal-leftists, want to rig the last, already decided presidential election in Poland and take away our freedom of choice. Let us not be defeated, we voters! Let us not let them take away the remnants of democracy and freedom that still remain after December 13, 2023! Let's protect Poland!" - President Andrzej Duda wrote on X.

14:18

Błaszczak on deregulation bill package:

He couldn't deceive us again, could he?
At the next Sejm session, 6 (six) deregulation bills will be considered. We are still waiting for a motion to supplement the agenda with the remaining 94 bills that Donald Tusk promised to prepare by the end of May. He couldn't deceive us again, could he? - wrote Mariusz Błaszczak on social media.

16:23

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Poles Must Have a Guarantee That Every Vote is Valid and Counted Correctly – However, Claims of Election Fraud Are Unfounded
"If citizens report irregularities at polling stations, it is the role of state institutions to meticulously investigate them. Poles must have a guarantee that every vote is valid and counted correctly – however, claims of election fraud are unfounded and no responsible person is raising them. Inciting a political war on this topic weakens Poland" - wrote Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on X.

16:29

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

We Must Introduce a Tax on "Manna from Heaven" - Banks' Extraordinary Profits
- The net profit of the banking sector has broken another record: PLN 16.5 billion for the first 4 months of this year. That's PLN 2 billion more than in the corresponding period of 2024 – the best in the history of banking in the Third Polish Republic – wrote Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on the X portal. - This is a sad record, because despite gigantic earnings – banks' investment and lending activities are declining. And this is happening amidst a huge amount of unmet needs in this area: infrastructure and housing. Banks are not financing the economy because they prefer to "squeeze a small group of clients like a lemon." The interest rates on housing loans in Poland are among the highest in Europe! – we read in the post by the minister of funds and regional policy. - There is nothing wrong with banks getting rich. But banks must get rich by driving the economy and providing developmental energy to citizens. Not at the expense of development and at the expense of people!!! Therefore, a tax on banks' extraordinary profits, on "manna from heaven," should be introduced – she postulates. As she argues, the advantages of the tax are: - It is difficult to pass on to clients (the treasury will take the additional margin); it will force banks to increase their lending activities. The revenue from the tax can be allocated to important social reforms, e.g., assistance for persons with disabilities. - Such a tax has been introduced in many EU countries in recent years, including the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, and Lithuania. Let's not be afraid of bold changes! They will provide a developmental impulse – writes Pełczyńska-Nałęcz.

17:00

Bosak:

Nawrocki Told von der Leyen She Must Respect National Sovereignty. We Will Fight to Ensure This.
– A few days ago, I met with our new president, Karol Nawrocki. I assured him of my readiness to cooperate for the good of Poland. The new president immediately made it clear to Mrs. von der Leyen that she must respect the sovereignty of nation-states. We will fight to ensure this and to control the authorities – stated Krzysztof Bosak in France, during an event organized by the European party Patriots.eu.

17:08

Bosak at a meeting in France:

I believe that in 2 years we will meet here again, as the ruling forces in our countries.
- In two years, both France and Poland will face elections that will be decisive for our future. I believe that we will meet here again then, as the ruling forces in our countries. Together we will chase away the globalists, we will return power in our countries to our nations. If this happens in two large European countries simultaneously, we can truly change Europe – said Krzysztof Bosak in France, during an event organized by the European party Patriots.eu. - We will stop the influx of immigrants, we will reject the Green Deal, we will defend our sovereignty and our national identities. We will build a future worthy of our great ancestors, together we will restore security to our children – he continued.

17:51

Błaszczak:

Now They Dare to Say the Elections Were Rigged. A Band of Incompetents and Liars
- First, they illegally cut off our funding to make it difficult to run our campaign. Then, they unleashed the entire state apparatus against Karol Nawrocki – the police, the prosecution, the Supreme Audit Office (NIK), the special services, NASK, and the media. Subsequently, suspicious foundations, funded by even more suspicious money, became involved in their campaign. And despite all that, they lost – wrote Mariusz Błaszczak on social media. - Now they dare to say the elections were rigged. A band of incompetents and liars! – emphasized the head of the PiS parliamentary club.

18:12

What about the National Assembly and Swearing-in Nawrocki? Hołownia's Clear Declaration
"Every protest deserves consideration, but for now, there is no reason to question the election results announced by the National Electoral Commission (PKW). If the Supreme Court confirms their validity – I will convene the National Assembly on August 6th to swear in President Karol Nawrocki. In a democracy, the will of the voters is sacred" – Szymon Hołownia wrote on X.

18:54

Recounting election votes? Bielan: I see no such need, the claim of falsified results by the opposition is absurd
- I see no such need and I consider what is being organized by some politicians from the Civic Platform associated with Roman Giertych to be very dangerous, and I fully agree with the words of Bronisław Komorowski, and at one time Tusk, who said that questioning election results weakens trust in the democratic process, and if there are no grounds for it, it is a very dangerous action - said Adam Bielan in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia Zet", when asked whether the presidential elections should be recounted. - Over 100 commissions made errors to the detriment of, most likely, Rafał Trzaskowski, and over 100 commissions, the difference is small, to the detriment of Karol Nawrocki. Most often, these are errors of 1, 2, or 5 votes. [...] The claim that the opposition, which has a minority in the Sejm and the Senate, falsified the election results against the government candidate [...] is simply absurd - he continued. - The vote difference between Karol Nawrocki and Rafał Trzaskowski is 360,000. The scale of irregularities, even in the most optimistic scenario for Trzaskowski, is a few hundred - he went on to say.

19:05

Bielan:

A Major Flaw in the Electoral System is the Lack of a Central Registry to Tick Off Those Who Voted Using Certificates
- The National Electoral Commission (PKW) itself stated at press conferences on election day that the numbers of certificates could be recorded. [...] We had a very large number of certificates being issued, which in itself is not a bad thing [...] according to many, these certificates were relatively poorly secured, or at least they could be photocopied - said Adam Bielan on Radio Zet, when asked about an application for verifying certificates of eligibility to vote. - With a good quality photocopier and a poll worker who didn't check thoroughly, one could expect that someone made a mistake; I'm talking about allegations, not about whether it actually happened. And the point was that each such certificate has a unique number, so these numbers were to be recorded and checked to see if someone with a given number and certificate had already voted multiple times - he continued. - I generally believe that a major problem with the Polish electoral system is the lack of a central registry that would tick off everyone who has already voted using a certificate - he further stated.

19:11

"The President's Reaction is Justified." Bielan on Duda's Post about "Post-Communists Trying to Rig Elections"
- It seems to me that the president's reaction, which occurred after several days of this whole affair, as we are now over a week past the elections, is justified. The President, in such situations, standing guard over the Constitution, should also speak out sometimes - Adam Bielan said on Radio Zet, when asked about President Andrzej Duda's post.

19:15

PiS-PSL-Konfederacja Coalition? Bielan: Apart from '89, the PSL has always built coalitions to its left, not its right
- Until now, with the exception of '89 and the Mazowiecki government [...] the PSL has always built coalitions to its left, not its right, so it hasn't happened yet. There's always a first time, but whether it will be in this term or the next, it's hard for me to say - Adam Bielan said on Radio Zet, when asked about a PiS coalition with PSL and Konfederacja.

19:42

Czarnek Addresses Hołownia:

As a Pole, Citizen, and MP, I Thank You for This Vote.
"Dear Mr. Speaker, regardless of various differences of opinion regarding specific goals and means, one thing must unite us all – a lawful, democratic, free Poland. And therefore, as a Pole, a citizen of our state, and also as an MP, I thank you for this vote" – wrote Przemysław Czarnek on the X portal, responding to Szymon Hołownia's post.

20:34

Hołownia:

Love for democracy and respect for the state are revealed when you lose elections
- I understand that it is unpleasant when a candidate we dislike or don't value wins, that it's hard to come to terms with losing. However, we must also clearly state that love for democracy and respect for the state are revealed precisely when you lose elections, not when you win them - said Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with Monika Olejnik on "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.

Hołownia:

As Sejm Marshal, I Have No Other Option – If the Supreme Court Validates the Election, It is My Duty to Convene the National Assembly
- I did not vote for Karol Nawrocki; I have repeatedly expressed my many doubts about him. Various doubts. However, as the Marshal of the Sejm, I have no other option, and Professor Chmaj also spoke about this – it is my duty in such a situation to convene the National Assembly – said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - This is not just a matter of the threat of committing a crime, because indeed, there is a penalty for a crime if I were not to convene it. However, it is about the responsibility for the state, ensuring the continuity of power. That is how the voters decided. I can agree with it or not, but I must respect it – he indicated.

Hołownia:

Prime Minister Trzaskowski? An Interesting Proposition, I Like It
- In the Prime Minister's place, I would invite Rafał Trzaskowski to actively participate in this new chapter, this coalition restart. He is the custodian of 10 million votes that were cast - Szymon Hołownia said on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". When asked if it would be better if Rafał Trzaskowski became Prime Minister, he replied: - I think it's an interesting proposition. Having such a strong mandate, over 10 million votes - people voted for Trzaskowski, not for Donald Tusk, with all due respect to Donald Tusk. - If Rafał Trzaskowski, for example, were to take over as Prime Minister now - PiS would be thrown into disarray, to put it bluntly. Because they are so obsessed with this vision of fighting Tusk that they are unable to handle such a situation. Besides, there would be a new Prime Minister for a new President. It's a completely different opening - he assessed. - But what's the point of me liking [such an idea] - the interested parties themselves have to like it too. [...] Such voices [about changing the Prime Minister] have indeed emerged in discussions over the past week, including discussions with the Prime Minister - let the Prime Minister speak on this matter - he stated.

Grabiec:

If the collected evidence provides grounds to challenge the election results, we will not hesitate to do so
- Is the scale of these irregularities such that it will allow the election verdict to be changed? I don't want to assess or prejudge this today, because as a minister of the government of the Republic, as a politician representing the state authorities to some extent, I do not want to undermine trust in the state. If it turns out that the collected evidence provides grounds to challenge the election results, we will not hesitate to do so. If there are no such grounds, we will demand explanations for all situations, regardless of whether they affect the outcome or not, because people deserve the truth – stated Jan Grabiec in the program "Fakty po Faktach" on TVN24.

Grabiec:

The Prime Minister's Address Will Include the Government's Two-and-a-Half-Year Plan
- Of course, an element of this address will also be the government's action plan for the next 2.5 years, leading up to the next election. It's a rather specific period, a time. In recent years, we've constantly had elections, practically every six months, every few months there were elections. These 2.5 years represent a relatively long period without these electoral shocks, which means there's something to plan, something to think about, what will be the priority. This is what the leaders are discussing, how this government should look, how to make it more efficient, because that is the challenge today – said Jan Grabiec on TVN24.

Grabiec on the Government Spokesperson:

I See No Obstacles, This Should Be a Politician Through and Through.
– This is the Prime Minister's decision [regarding the government spokesperson], I see no obstacles whatsoever for the appointment of a spokesperson to not happen – stated Jan Grabiec on TVN24. – Of course, there are such candidates, I think the Prime Minister will be speaking with candidates for various ministerial positions in the coming days. I think the most important characteristic of this spokesperson role is that it should be a politician through and through. It should be someone who actually influences decisions, is involved in their development, and speaks about them, not a PR person – he continued.

Grabiec jokes about Duda's post:

It might be the effect of Nawrocki's snus.
- I've seen jokes online that President-elect Mr. Nawrocki shared his snus with President Duda, and that this might be the effect of these pharmacological substances, but these are, of course, jokes from the Internet – Jan Grabiec said on TVN24. - I don't know what the President is afraid of, what he is worried about. Does he actually know something that if the votes were recounted, it would turn out that someone else won the presidential election? If he has such knowledge, he should share it – he added.

Hołownia:

Will Tusk Be Prime Minister Until the End of the Term? I Don't Know
- This coalition will govern until the end of this term. Whether Donald Tusk will serve as Prime Minister until the end of the term – I don’t know, because it still depends on many factors – said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i" (Dot on the i).

21:27

Grabiec:

For a Moment, Tusk Considered Speaking on the Lewandowski Matter
- In essence, did you foresee, or did you guess, what was happening in the Prime Minister's office today. For a moment, at least, the Prime Minister considered speaking on the matter. But in the end, he decided it was better to keep quiet... - said Jan Grabiec on TVN24, when asked if Prime Minister Donald Tusk was planning to comment on the issue of Robert Lewandowski being stripped of the captain's armband for the Polish national football team. - This isn't even about politicians [and them speaking on this matter]. But the national team could use some peace during these turbulent hours - he added.

Hołownia to Remain Speaker Until End of Term? "We'll Put It on the Table and Discuss It"
- If there is such a possibility [of remaining Speaker of the Sejm until the end of the term], then I would gladly. However, if there is no such possibility, the coalition will certainly not hang on it - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - We will put it on the table and we will also discuss it. However, first - and please believe me, it will be so - we must identify the things we have to do together, otherwise there will be no talk of any speakership, any premiership, any deputy premiership, because there simply won't be any - he continued.

Tusk Mentions "Emergency Plan" for Cohabitation with Nawrocki. Hołownia: I Don't Know About It
- I don't know. I've gotten used to the fact that, despite being a coalition partner, I find out about certain things at the very end - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i", when asked about Prime Minister Donald Tusk's words, who spoke of an "emergency plan, assuming difficult cohabitation"
