Bielan on Potential Vote Counting Errors:

It Won’t Affect the Election Outcome.
  • Absolutely not [there's no need to recount votes], we have a new president, Karol Nawrocki won the largest number of votes in these elections since 1990. No one has had a stronger mandate since the first democratic elections of Lech Wałęsa. That's nearly 400,000 votes [ahead] – stated Adam Bielan on RMF24.
  • Indeed, in over 100 polling stations, votes might have been miscounted, to the detriment of Karol Nawrocki. These are small differences, and besides, the margin between Karol Nawrocki and Rafał Trzaskowski is close to 400,000 votes, so it won't affect the election outcome – he continued.

07:57

Bielan:

In Poland, Elections are Organized by the National Electoral Commission, Where the Current Coalition Holds a Majority
In Poland, elections are organized by the National Electoral Commission (PKW), and the majority in the PKW consists of nominees from the Polish parliament. As we know, for instance, from the actions taken against PiS, subsidies, and grants, this majority belongs to the current coalition. The current coalition has control over all state structures, special services, the police, and governs in a vast majority of local governments, so the statement that this coalition falsified these elections to the detriment of the government's candidate is a complete absurdity – stated Adam Bielan on RMF24.

08:00

Bielan:

Giertych and his sect are trying to undermine the mandate of a democratically elected president
- The government controls the police, prosecution, and special services. If Tusk or anyone from Civic Platform believes there are any irregularities, they have all the state's tools to prove it. However, we know that Roman Giertych and his sect, Silni Razem, are trying to undermine the mandate of a democratically elected president, and that's where this whole action comes from - stated Adam Bielan on RMF24.

08:00

Bielan:

We have statements from old communists calling for the blocking of the inauguration. This is already a script written in Moscow
- We also have statements from old communists like Mr. Adam Miazga, who openly speak about the necessity of blocking the inauguration of the president-elect, and this is already a script written in Moscow - stated Adam Bielan on RMF24.

08:22

Bosak:

In My Opinion, Nawrocki Will Be Independent of PiS. If He Wanted to Join Them, He Had Plenty of Time
- In my opinion, yes - Krzysztof Bosak said in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the "Gość Radia Zet" program, when asked if Karol Nawrocki would be a president independent of PiS. - I belong to, perhaps, a not yet very wide circle that has had the opportunity to talk with the president-elect, and this is clear from his declarations, but also from his previous life path. I think if he had wanted to join PiS, he had plenty of time - he continued.

08:26

Confederation Politicians in the Presidential Chancellery? Bosak: Nothing Indicates This
- Nothing indicates this, Karol Nawrocki has not presented any such proposals at the moment - said Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Zet, when asked if Confederation politicians would be in the Presidential Chancellery.

08:31

Hołownia's MP to Giertych: Your Conspiracy Theories Outdo 2021 Anti-Vaxxers
- Your conspiracy theories outdo the anti-vaxxers from 2021... - wrote Kamil Wnuk, an MP from Poland 2050, in response to Roman Giertych's tweet.

08:37

Bosak:

Votes of individual dissatisfied individuals are not grounds to question election results
- To be honest, I don't really see this kind of discussion, that someone would talk about annulling the elections - Krzysztof Bosak said on Radio Zet. - This post surprised me, to put it mildly - he continued, when asked about the president's post. - It seems to me that nothing major is happening, of course, after every election there is a group of people dissatisfied with the loss, and after every election there are those who pinpoint irregularities. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with that, because thanks to it we improve our electoral system - he continued. - The votes of individual dissatisfied individuals are not grounds to question the election results; the margin is clear, there are currently no indications, nor has the National Electoral Commission pointed to any indications that the electoral process was disrupted. If there are any isolated irregularities or doubts, they must be clarified, of course - he added. - It seems to me that the Sejm Marshal's statement is quite sensible and fits in with calming the mood, which we need after these presidential elections - he noted.

08:42

Bosak:

Tusk's Leadership is Weakened, But Not Openly Questioned
- Donald Tusk's leadership is weakened, but not openly questioned. So, it seems to me that if something unexpected happens tomorrow, meaning a vote of confidence for the government is not passed, it would rather be a surprise for everyone - Krzysztof Bosak said on Radio Zet. - It seems to me that the Prime Minister himself expected, when submitting such a proposal, that it would be a foregone conclusion, a mere formality that would confirm his leadership. Meanwhile, it turned out that there are a lot of hidden resentments here, and the defeat in the presidential elections allowed many people to express their very negative assessments of Donald Tusk's leadership in the media - he continued.

08:48

Bosak:

I Don't Believe in a Significantly Smaller Government
- I don't believe in it [a significantly smaller government]. I'll say right away that I don't believe in it - said Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Zet. - We have 11 parties in the coalition, and each of them is necessary for a majority, and that's why each has its deputy ministers. Donald Tusk [...] at the moment he agreed to forming a government with 100 deputy ministers and ministers, he can now dismiss perhaps the 1 or 2 politically weakest, but he will not reduce this government by half, nor by 1/3, nor by 1/4 - he continued.

08:49

Bodnar on the Vote of Confidence:

I Believe Everything Will Go According to Plan.
My Prime Minister and my boss is Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and I am convinced that tomorrow the Sejm, by granting a vote of confidence, will indicate that it is indeed Prime Minister Tusk who governs and continues to exercise the powers of the head of government – stated Adam Bodnar on TOK FM. I don't think [there will be a change of Prime Minister], I believe everything will go according to plan – he added.

08:57

Koalicja PSL with PiS and Confederation? Bosak: The topic is artificially generated by Law and Justice to show they have room to maneuver, when they don't.
- Polish People's Party should stop blocking funds for housing, because they are currently blocking the expenditure of European and budgetary funds for housing, and frankly, they have never publicly explained why they are doing it - said Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Zet, when asked if he believes that PSL will lead to a reversal of alliances and form a government with PiS and Konfederacja. - They conducted a survey among themselves and it turned out that 70% of their members want [to cooperate] with Tusk. So it seems to me that at no point was there anything to discuss, and this is a topic artificially generated in the media, primarily by Law and Justice, to show that they have some room to maneuver, when they don't - he continued. - It started even before '23, stories about maybe with PSL, maybe a coalition of Polish affairs, President Duda also aimed for such a narrative. In my opinion, at every stage it was a political fantasy. It had nothing to do with reality [...] today it is also a fantasy - he went on to say.

08:58

Bodnar Asked About His Future in Government:

Every minister cannot be certain.
- I think that every minister in the government cannot be certain every day about what they are doing. They must perform their duties with maximum humility and commitment, and their superiors assess that – said Adam Bodnar on TOK FM. - I keep hearing that something is wrong, that the accountability is not proceeding as it should, but if we look at the actual actions, it turns out that there are quite a lot of these matters. There are over 10 requests for immunity to be lifted, we have a dozen or so serious cases underway, we have 6 indictments in court. Many politicians, including a former prime minister, face charges, so here I am simply trying to do my job as well as possible – he continued.

09:10

Bodnar on election annulment:

The President is in poor form these days, no one intends this.
- I have the impression that the President has been in poor form in recent days, because on the one hand, such a rather aggressive, disturbingly unnecessary Tweet, and on the other hand, the absolutely shocking mockery of the President of the Supreme Court, Adam Strzembosz. I think no one intends this; quite simply, what is happening is an explanation of all the irregularities and doubts that have arisen according to the procedure foreseen in the Electoral Code – stated Adam Bodnar on TOK FM.

09:11

Bodnar:

From the Perspective of Constitutional Values, the Swearing-in of the New President Must Occur
- Mr. Speaker Szymon Hołownia will have to take responsibility and say that he is aware of all these irregularities [concerning the Chamber of Extraordinary Review and Public Affairs], but I still believe that from the perspective of realizing constitutional values, this swearing-in must occur, but then it will be the individual responsibility of the Speaker in such a situation – said Adam Bodnar on TOK FM.

09:12

Bodnar on the KRS Act Amendment:

A Serious Conversation with the New President is Necessary.
  • The first, most fundamental assumption is to convince the president to sign the act on the National Council of the Judiciary, which provides for judges to elect members of the National Council of the Judiciary [in general judicial elections] – stated Adam Bodnar on TOK FM.
  • I think we simply need to have a very serious conversation with the new president about the act on the National Council of the Judiciary, because healing this constitutional body in the face of the end of the term of office, or the end of the term of the current neo-KRS, which will happen in May 2026, is absolutely fundamental from the perspective not only of restoring the rule of law, but even of creating normal, rational procedures in the judiciary – he continued.

09:17

Bosak:

Mentzen Also Significantly Contributed to Nawrocki's Election. We Divided Roles
- In my opinion, Sławomir Mentzen also significantly contributed to Karol Nawrocki's election, he simply did it in a completely different way - said Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Zet. - I think so [we divided roles], it's not about playing good cop, bad cop; it emerged naturally. [...] 5 years earlier, when I was the Confederation's representative in the presidential elections, I also maintained prevailing neutrality, I don't know if not even greater than Sławomir Mentzen, before the second round of the presidential elections. Why? Because I felt responsible then for representing all voters from the first round, and Sławomir Mentzen feels that responsibility now - he continued, when asked if he and Sławomir Mentzen had divided roles, with him playing the good cop and Mentzen the bad cop. - Above all, I believe that conducting these interviews, which Sławomir Mentzen did, could have helped voters judge the candidates more than if he had issued some unambiguous statement - he went on to say. - I believe it was in the Confederation's interest, and it is completely obvious to me, that Trzaskowski should not be in the Presidential Palace. I believe that by doing anything for this cause, we helped ourselves first and foremost, not PiS - he added.

09:21

Duda comments on his X post:

I'm warning my countrymen not to allow the fundamental principles of democracy to be violated.
- Regarding my post, well, it was a reaction to a rather astonishing trend that has been developing for several days. Suddenly, some alleged falsifications in the course of the recent elections are being brought up – stated Andrzej Duda at a press conference. - I approach this very calmly, but I read statements like Mr. Leszek Miller's yesterday, or Mr. Giertych's, calling for a recount of votes, and one of these gentlemen comes from an environment that always said that it doesn't matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes or who will recount the votes. That is why I am warning my countrymen to closely observe this situation and not to allow the fundamental democratic principles to be violated in Poland – he continued.

09:22

"These Times Are Ending." Kaczyński on "Putin’s Agents Operating Under Police Cover"
We have a new president, we hope that everything that is so damaging to Poland today will end, and that all those disgraceful events that take place here every month during the monthly commemorations, religious ceremonies, the remembrance of the President of the Republic of Poland Lech Kaczyński, his wife, the president in exile, and also all, regardless of their political views and stances in other areas of life, victims of the Smoleńsk catastrophe, victims of Putin, will end, that the Putinists, Putin’s people, Putin’s agents can operate here so freely and, moreover, operate under the cover of the police and every month lay here a disgraceful inscription – stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Warsaw. – These times are ending, and today I had the opportunity during confession to hear such an instruction from a priest, to pray for those who persecute, for those who commit these disgraceful acts. I will pray for you, that after receiving just punishment, you will repent and be saved – added the PiS leader.

09:43

Likely a Quiet Deal Between Tusk and Germany. Mastalerek on 'Permitting Immigrants'
- What you, Mr. Editor, have before you are proofs that the government of Donald Tusk is permitting such actions - stated Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Michał Rachoń on TV Republika. - So, on the one hand, Donald Tusk publicly, for show, for PR, says that we will defend the Polish border, we are adopting the so-called asylum act, which in fact has no impact on the defense of the Polish border, and on the other hand, we have here evidence, you have evidence before you, that Donald Tusk is permitting precisely these legal and illegal immigrants - the presidential minister continued. - This is likely simply a quiet deal between Donald Tusk and Germany. Unfortunately, that's how it looks, and Donald Tusk's credibility is zero. That's partly why Poles voted against this government in the second round - he added.

09:55

Mastalerek:

New Age Groups Enter the Electorate Every Year. The Work of Showing Who Tusk Is Must Not Cease
- People know, those who dealt with Donald Tusk between 2007 and 2014, know who Donald Tusk is, how he operates, that he has something pleasant in one hand, while in reality, with the other hand, he does something opposite, entirely different. But every year, new age groups enter the electorate who don't know Donald Tusk, don't know who he is. And this work of showing who Tusk is, who his camp is, what they did 20 years ago, 10 years ago, it cannot stop - stated Marcin Mastalerek on TV Republika.

10:12

Mentzen Attacks the Government:

The Coalition of Losers Has Done None of These Things.
- The coalition agreement of the current government states that they intend to restore favorable conditions for conducting business and to move away from the oppressive tax and social security system - Sławomir Mentzen wrote on the X portal. - The coalition of losers has done none of these things. Why? Are they too lazy, too incompetent, or does the current system simply suit them? - asks one of the leaders of Confederation.

10:43

Mastalerek:

They Would Like to Achieve a "Romania Scenario" in their Dreams. They Won't Succeed
- Today, in their dream scenario, they would like to achieve a "Romania scenario." They won't succeed in that, but in a realistic scenario, they will delegitimize the new president every day and talk about it that way - stated Marcin Mastalerek on TV Republika.

12:40

"These words were very inappropriate and simply foolish." Tusk on PAD's statement about "post-communists wanting to rig the elections"
- A lot of emotion, understandable emotion, is stirred by doubts about irregularities in the elections, the possibility of fraud, and therefore we are dealing daily with the voices of citizens who demand state action on this matter, which is entirely understandable - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the beginning of the government meeting. - Nobody, regardless of the office they hold, even if it is the highest office in the state, has the right to disregard even a single wasted vote. I have not noticed any of our coalition leaders trying to incite unrest or undermine the election results. Instead, we are trying to act calmly and rationally, as stipulated by the Constitution, the Electoral Code, and basic human decency - he continued. - Nobody has the right, and I say this also moved by the words of President Duda, to disregard the problem and say "oh, these are some insignificant things, it's about 5 thousand votes, or maybe a thousand, or maybe 20 thousand." [...] Our task is to give all citizens faith that the state will not disregard any vote - he went on to say. - I cannot imagine anyone who, moreover, depends on voters, whether it is a president, prime minister, marshal, minister, it doesn't matter who directly depends on these votes, speaking dismissively and contemptuously that post-communists here want to rig the elections. These words were very inappropriate and simply foolish - he added.

12:42

Przydacz Criticizes Sikorski:

He May Be Good at Media Appearances, But Poles Expect Effective Foreign Policy.
- Tomorrow we will vote on a vote of confidence in Donald Tusk's government. Today, before each ministry, we propose a discussion and debate on the achievements of this 1.5 years. […] These foreign policy failures cannot be covered up by just a good post and PR - said Marcin Przydacz at a press conference in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters. - Minister Sikorski may be very good at appearing in the media, sometimes with a smile, sometimes with a jab, but Poles expect effective foreign policy above all, in terms of security, on the eastern front, and on the western front - he stated. - Did the Polish government manage to block the migration pact? No, the migration pact is coming into force. Did they manage to reach an agreement with Germany so that they don't divert migrants across the western border to us? No, they did not succeed. Did they manage to block in any way the talks on the EU-Mercosur agreement, which could result in flooding the EU, including Poland, with agricultural products from South America? No, they did not succeed - he enumerated. - One could give many such examples. And yet, we held the presidency in the last half-year. Every country uses this time to impose an agenda that is favorable from its own point of view - he continued.

12:45

Przydacz:

Sikorski's Meager Achievements Include Paralysis of Polish Foreign Service
- Minister Sikorski and Donald Tusk's government were unable to maintain good relations with the Americans. Why? Because they bet everything on one card – they believed the Democratic candidate would win. In a situation where Donald Trump emerged victorious, this government today does not have good relations with the American administration, our key ally - Marcin Przydacz stated at a press conference in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters. - Among Minister Sikorski's meager achievements is the paralysis of the Polish foreign service. In dozens of missions, we currently do not have ambassadors; we only have heads of missions, because Minister Sikorski, together with Donald Tusk, decided to forcibly recall ambassadors […] to the country. For many months, Poland has not had an ambassador in the USA, Germany, or Italy - he pointed out. - How can one expect this policy to be effectively implemented if ambassadors are not sent, but instead, so-called 'friends of the rabbit' are appointed, and most often, those trained in the Moscow spy school? - he questioned.

12:48

A Crime May Have Been Committed. ABW Notified the Prosecutor's Office. Tusk on the So-Called Matecki Application
- There is a lot of noise about the case of a possibly illegal application, the so-called Matecki application. And we are talking here not about election fraud or poor vote counting, but about a possible commission of a crime, and that is why the Internal Security Agency (ABW) has filed a notification with the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw concerning the use of an application promoted by the so-called Election Control Movement - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at the beginning of the government meeting. - The notification is the result of earlier signals from citizens as well as ABW's own investigative actions. A separate thread, namely the violation of personal data in connection with this application, is being handled by the Police and this thread will also be included in the joint investigation by the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw - he continued.

12:51

"Every Suspicion Will Be Prosecuted." Tusk on Possible "Crimes in the Election Procedure"
- Every potential suspicion of committing a crime in the election procedure will be, for obvious reasons, because it is our duty, prosecuted - Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated at the beginning of the government meeting.

12:53

Przydacz on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Leadership:

One on Permanent Leave Due to Alcohol-Related Issues. The Other Without Security Clearance.
- Let's look at the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, arguably the largest in the history of the Third Polish Republic. During the PiS era, there were four deputy ministers; Minister Sikorski must be assisted by as many as seven deputy ministers, along with the Director-General – said Marcin Przydacz at a press conference in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters. - One of them, Minister Szejna, is on permanent leave after enormous alcohol-related problems. Perhaps it's high time to dismiss him and appoint a proper deputy minister? – he continued. As he further stated: - The second, according to media reports, who has held his position for 1.5 years, lacks clearance for access to classified information. I worked in this building for many months. It's difficult for me to imagine being able to effectively conduct foreign policy without access to classified information. - A disgrace for the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at all levels. [...] This all leads us to one conclusion: the sooner this government resigns, the better it will be for Poland – he assessed.

13:05

Tusk on the Demand for Recounting Votes:

The Procedure is Clear.
- Regarding the understandable demand, given numerous reports of irregularities, for a recount of votes where such irregularities or even attempts to falsify the election results would be identified, the procedure is clear. And I would also like to say on behalf of you all that the essence of democracy, and this is a truly deadly serious matter, the essence of democracy is that during elections, as well as in the vote-counting process, unauthorized institutions do not interfere - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at the beginning of the government session. - This is how a democratic system is built [...] so that the legality of elections is decided not by, for example, the executive power [...] but by institutions specifically established for this purpose, independent of the executive power - he continued. - To establish any irregularity that could be grounds, for example, for intervention by the prosecutor general, who will participate in the Supreme Court session, the chamber responsible for confirming the validity of elections [...] documentation is needed. Not just emotions, which are understandable, not just fears, but above all, documentation of what was irregular - he went on to say. - In my opinion, one should not preempt facts with any far-reaching theses that we must first establish and help confirm - he added.

13:15

Every Citizen Can Report Suspected Irregularities. Tusk on Election Protests
- Protests can be filed by any female citizen, any male citizen; the addressee is the Supreme Court. These protests can be filed until Monday, meaning less than a week remains – Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated at the beginning of the government session. - We are aware, and the legislator was aware, that many citizens may have witnessed strange things, but do not necessarily have the time or desire to formulate an election protest. Therefore, the institution of filing election protests by authorized representatives of electoral committees was foreseen. The authorized representative of an electoral committee has created the website protestwyborczy2025.pl, and there any female citizen and any male citizen can submit information - he continued. - It doesn't have to be a formal protest, but it can convey information about suspicions that irregularities have occurred somewhere, and according to the Electoral Code, the electoral representative, after collecting such information, will formulate a protest or protests and send them to the Supreme Court, and it will be the Supreme Court that decides on the validity of the elections - he added.

13:19

Tusk:

I expect fair proceedings from the National Electoral Commission and the Supreme Court, and respect for voters from the President
- I don't have the authority to issue orders here, but I expect, as a citizen, not as Prime Minister [...] from all institutions upon which this process depends, fair and impartial proceedings. Whether it's the National Electoral Commission, the National Electoral Office, and above all the Supreme Court, I expect fair proceedings. And from the President and other politicians speaking on this matter, I would primarily expect respect for all voters – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the beginning of the government meeting.

13:28

"Radical Simplification": Tusk on Deregulation of Building Law
- Regarding today's agenda, there are deregulation projects – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the beginning of the government meeting. - We have 6 deregulation projects today. I would like to draw attention to one of them because it concerns tens of thousands of cases and many people in Poland have been waiting for this, it is the deregulation of building law, such a radical simplification [...] which will enable citizens to undertake small construction investments without the consent currently stipulated by building law, without that formal building permit – he continued. - This will concern these small construction projects [...]. It could be a garden pond, a terrace, a white-and-red flag mast up to 7 meters [...], a small shelter, for example, a backyard one [...] charging stations, changing rooms – he added.

13:29

Duda Responds to Tusk:

Someone Clearly Doesn’t Like the Choice Poles Recently Made.
- Prime Minister Tusk thundered today at a government meeting, stating: “not even a single vote can be underestimated.” Full agreement. That is precisely why I am warning my fellow countrymen, paraphrasing an old statement by the Prime Minister: I advise you – guard your votes cast in elections well! Today, a truly serious team is taking on the choice you made - President Andrzej Duda wrote on the X platform. - I assure you that as a voter, and currently additionally still the guardian of the continuity of state power, I will be guarding together with you. I have the impression that someone clearly doesn’t like the choice Poles recently made - stated PAD.

13:31

Tusk Announces Next Government Meeting:

We Will Discuss, Among Other Things, Budget Preparations.
- I will also ask the government to hold another meeting in an extraordinary session, meaning on Thursday. We will discuss, among other things, budget preparations. I would like to present to you all the parameters, opportunities, limitations, and possibilities together with the Minister of Finance, so that we prepare the budget in a maximally responsible and perfect way – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the beginning of the government meeting.

15:34

Żukowska on the Vote of Confidence for the Government:

I Can't Imagine Voting Any Other Way Than 'Yes'.
- A vote of confidence for our government will be voted on tomorrow. I can't imagine voting any other way than 'yes', as we are part of this government - said Anna Maria Żukowska at a press conference.

15:38

The Left Presents Draft Bills, Biejat Appeals to Hołownia:

Let’s Stop Making Excuses, Let’s Start Acting.
- It's time to speed things up, because yes: it's time to help this government. Because yes: we take our commitments and the coalition agreement very seriously, and we remind you that both partnership unions and respect for working people, as well as ending the housing crisis and increasing housing accessibility are our common commitment as an entire coalition. Because we believe that these projects should finally see the light of day and reach the president's desk as soon as possible, we are submitting them today as parliamentary bills – stated Magdalena Biejat at a press conference. Earlier, members of the government representing the Left spoke about their priorities: including periods worked under sole proprietorship or a civil law contract towards the length of employment; partnership unions; or increasing funding for housing construction. - Here is my big appeal to Mr. Speaker Hołownia. You yourself, Mr. Speaker, said that enough with words, it's time for action. You yourself said that acceleration is needed. I earnestly ask, we are giving Mr. Speaker concrete tools here, concrete draft bills. We can quickly process them through the Sejm. I appeal as the Marshal of the Senate, for them to reach the upper chamber as soon as possible. Let's stop making excuses, let's start acting. The Left is ready, as always – she continued.

15:41

Żukowska:

Poles expect the government to work better. As the Left parliamentary club, we want to help and are submitting parliamentary bills.
- However, Poles expect us to ensure the government works better. As a parliamentary club, we want to help with this. We want to show that the bills exist, that extensive substantive work has been done on them, that they have been consulted [...] socially, within the government, and that they must reach the Sejm - said Anna Maria Żukowska at a press conference. - Given the Prime Minister's decisions regarding these laws, as far as government bills are concerned, they will be submitted [...] through our parliamentary club, as parliamentary bills - which does not, of course, preclude the possibility that these government bills will also be sent to the Sejm and be considered - she indicated.

15:45

Żukowska:

The Only Alternative to Our Government is a Government with PiS and Konfederacja. I'm Sure This Isn't What Leftist Voters Expect
- The only alternative to our government is a government involving PiS and Konfederacja. I think, I am sure, that this is absolutely not what Leftist voters expect - said Anna Maria Żukowska at a press conference. - Of course, we have a number of remarks regarding how this government could function better, we all know that. But this is a dam against the possibility that things that could move faster, such as the protection of employees' rights, would be reversed by another government - she pointed out. In her opinion: - A government involving Konfederacja will certainly not stand guard over employees' rights or good quality, accessible public services.

16:38

Motion of Confidence Submitted to the Sejm
As informed by the Chancellery of the Sejm, the Prime Minister has submitted a motion to the Marshal of the Sejm for the Sejm of the Republic of Poland to express a vote of confidence in the Council of Ministers. According to the schedule, the matter will be considered tomorrow at 9:00 AM - the debate will last until 2:00 PM, at which time the vote will take place.

16:49

PiS addresses KO coalition partners:

Do you really want to participate in this Tusk circus?
- In light of the fact that tomorrow in the Sejm there will be a very important debate on the vote of confidence for Donald Tusk’s government, this is also a question for the coalition partners: do they really want to participate in such a government, in this Tusk circus? Do they really want to work in a government whose prime minister is such an extremely unreliable and deceitful person? [...] Do they really want to endorse and approve all of this? – said Rafał Bochenek at a press conference in front of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

17:34

Nawrocki After Talking with Trump:

I Received an Invitation to Meet at the White House.
- I had a very good phone conversation with the President of the United States, Donald Trump - Karol Nawrocki informed on social media. - We discussed close allied relations and political partnership. I invited President Trump to Poland. I also received an invitation to meet at the White House. God bless Poland! God bless America! - he added.

19:41

Will Czarnek head Nawrocki's Chancellery? PiS politician speaks out
- I am not the Head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, and ultimately, who will be, will become clear after August 6 – because only then will President Karol Nawrocki take office – wrote Przemysław Czarnek on the X platform.

20:03

Czarzasty Responds to Duda:

Nobody wants to ruin anything.
- Regarding the President [Duda] – 2 months left in his term. I would recommend choosing words carefully. Insulting people makes no sense. Nobody has any intention of ruining anything right now when it comes to the elections. There are election protests, and this must be said - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24’s “Kropka nad i” (The Icing on the Cake). - All these matters will either be recounted in committees or checked - he continued.

Czarzasty Skeptical About Calling New Elections:

No Need to Call For It.
- On the other hand, to all those who demand an immediate annulment of the elections and new ones to be called, ladies and gentlemen – everything will be thoroughly checked, there is no need to call for things for which there are no grounds - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Kropka nad i" program.

Czarzasty on a Different Prime Minister Than Tusk:

This Topic Hasn't Passed.
No, this topic [that Donald Tusk would not be prime minister] hasn't passed. At the moment, there is considerable confusion in various matters. We need to refer to things that are stable. The stable thing is the coalition agreement, signed 1.5 years ago. This agreement clearly states who is the prime minister and who nominates that prime minister – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.

Czarzasty:

I Am Against Undermining and Changing the Coalition Agreement at This Time
- I am against undermining and changing this coalition agreement at this moment, during a less than ideal time for the electoral coalition, because it would introduce more chaos - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.

20:12

Czarzasty:

It is Unwise to Undermine the Coalition Agreement
- This is not about personnel matters. It's about matters of fundamental importance regarding the coalition agreement. It is unwise in any aspect, whether concerning Tusk, the Marshal of the Senate, or the Marshal of the Sejm, to dig into, to undermine the coalition agreement at this time, because it does not provide stability, and I am calmly in favour of stability – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's “Kropka nad i”.

20:14

Czarzasty on Government Reshuffle:

It Will Be Extensive.
- We have established that concerning the [government] reshuffle, we will carry it out and it will be extensive. It will happen in July. Whether it will be at the end of July or the beginning of August, it will be around the appointment, nomination, and swearing-in of President Nawrocki - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

20:17

Czarzasty:

The issue of abortion and civil partnerships must be definitively resolved this term
- I am not responsible for Ms. Łoboda. Certainly, the issue of abortion, the issue of civil partnerships must be definitively resolved this year, within this term. The reason [it wasn't resolved] is that we had, and still have within the coalition, forces that did not allow it to be voted through – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

20:21

Czarzasty:

Communication Needs Improvement
- Communication needs to be improved. It turns out we are not such outstanding specialists at communicating what we have achieved, that everyone knows about it. A mistake, this simply needs to be corrected - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

20:24

Czarzasty:

We Must Do This So That in 2.5 Years, a Confederation-PiS Coalition Doesn't Reach President Nawrocki
- We must do this so that in 2.5 years, a Confederation-PiS coalition doesn't reach President Nawrocki. I will do everything in my power to ensure that this coalition continues in 2.5 years - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

Zgorzelski Makes a Clear Statement on Prime Ministerial Change:

It's Not Our Demand.
- It is not our demand [a change of Prime Minister]. This demand has appeared in the public sphere. Personally, I am very pleased that the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National Defence, my boss, and my friend is being considered as a candidate for Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister is Mr. Donald Tusk. A man of enormous merit for democracy and for Poland, who, through his presence and significant activity, essentially enabled democratic parties to form a government – stated Piotr Zgorzelski in the program „Pytanie Dnia” (Question of the Day) on TVP Info. - We are not any kind of divisive group that is pushing their candidate from the sidelines. We have no such demands; we believe that after tomorrow's exposé, Prime Minister Donald Tusk will show that the government has secured a majority and is moving forward – he added.

21:02

Zgorzelski on Kosiniak-Kamysz:

He is Prepared for the Role of Prime Minister in Every Respect.

21:03

Zgorzelski:

The Third Way Project Should Still Be Continued
- We agreed on 4 subsequent elections, they are behind us, but I believe that this project, which actually constitutes the center of the political scene, as together we have 65 MPs, is very much needed and important. I will be the last one to proclaim its end, although there are such reflections particularly among our colleagues from Poland 2050. I respect everyone's words and every MP's thoughts; I try to be more prudent and less impetuous in these matters. The Third Way project should still be continued – stated Piotr Zgorzelski on TVP Info.

21:05

Zgorzelski on PSL’s Stance Towards Vote of Confidence:

This Government Can Count on Us.
- Sabres counted, mobilization as it should be when MPs defend their government, and we are the parliamentary support for this government. This government can count on PSL MPs because we believe that our ministers serving in this government serve the Republic of Poland well - said Piotr Zgorzelski on TVP Info. - We can also count on Marek Sawicki, Michał Kamiński in this particular case, if he were to have a different opinion, has some comfort because he is a senator - he added.

21:06

Zgorzelski on the PSL Member Survey:

A Super Model for a Democratic Party
- You've already really discussed this survey, and we simply filled it out and returned it to headquarters. So, the fact that the party leadership communicates with its members by asking various questions, in my opinion, is a super model for a democratic party that is also the oldest, combining tradition and modernity – stated Piotr Zgorzelski on TVP Info.
