Przydacz on the Composition of the Presidential Chancellery:

I Think There Will Be a Few More Non-Party Figures.
- Certainly, it will be a chancellery of people with right-wing or center-right views; it's hard to imagine President Nawrocki wanting to hire politicians associated with the left, right? Or, I don't know, journalists, experts associated with the left - said Marcin Przydacz on TVN24. - I think there will be a few more of these non-political, non-party figures, so it will be a mix of people experienced politically or politically engaged, as well as experts and people trusted by Karol Nawrocki - he continued.

07:58

A Position in Nawrocki's Office? Przydacz: We Discussed My Potential Support with the President-elect
- It is clear that I support the president-elect whenever he needs me, but there are no personnel decisions at this stage to announce - said Marcin Przydacz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24. - In general, I often talk with the president-elect about matters, mainly professional and substantive [...] and of course, regarding the future, the president consults on who could potentially support him, and yes, we also discussed my potential support, but as I said, there are no decisions in this regard - he continued, when asked if he had a conversation about his future with Karol Nawrocki. - If the president wants it, he can always count on my support - he added.

08:10

Przydacz:

Tomczyk is one of the main figures responsible for Trzaskowski's loss, seeking to distract by talking about irregularities
- No, I don't see any such threats - said Marcin Przydacz on TVN24, when asked if he saw any threats to Karol Nawrocki taking the presidential seat. - I see voices being raised, but it's by that most frustrated part of Civic Platform politicians on the one hand, and on the other hand, those who lost the elections, because as I hear Mr. Tomczyk, who is one of the main figures to be blamed for Rafał Trzaskowski's loss, it is clear that he wants to distract attention from his defeat and will talk here about some irregularities - he continued, when pressed about election protests and requests for a vote recount.

08:18

Przydacz:

No Mass Irregularities in Elections, Giertych Seeks to Capitalize on Negative Political Capital
- It is clearly visible that there were no mass irregularities here, but there are those who want to capitalize on this with negative political capital. Such a figure is the current darling of some liberal circles, namely Mr. Roman Giertych. To my surprise, the one who shut down Gombrowicz is now the favorite of liberal Warsaw - said Marcin Przydacz on TVN24. - What is most important is that Roman Giertych is appealing to the president-elect, meaning he has acknowledged Mr. Nawrocki as the president-elect. Therefore, it is difficult to find any logic even within Mr. Giertych's own statement - he continued. - The Supreme Court will examine all protests. I have no reason today to claim that there is evidence that a recount of all commissions is necessary - he further stated.

08:28

Dworczyk on the PiS leader's election:

I am convinced that President Kaczyński will continue his mission.
- I am convinced that President [Jarosław Kaczyński] will continue his mission - said Michał Dworczyk in the PR3 program “Bez uników” (Without Evasion), when asked about the June PiS electoral congress, during which a new party leader is to be elected. - President Jarosław Kaczyński created a political environment that has won a number of elections. Today, the candidate supported by our environment is the president-elect. I think that without such a linchpin as Jarosław Kaczyński, who connects various environments - because in United Right we have very diverse environments - it would be difficult to function - he assessed.

08:41

Dworczyk on Trzaskowski’s committee’s election protest:

Tomczyk is fighting for his political life.
- I think Minister Tomczyk is primarily fighting for his political life - Michał Dworczyk said on the PR3 program “Bez uników” (Without Evasion), referring to the election protest announced by Minister Tomczyk for Rafał Trzaskowski’s electoral committee. - It is no secret that Rafał Trzaskowski’s campaign staff – and he is among them – are being evaluated very critically within Civic Platform (PO) today. Another defeat for Rafał Trzaskowski is not only a political problem for the Mayor of Warsaw himself, but it is a very serious political problem for PO - he continued. - Today, there are many voices calling for consequences to be drawn against those responsible for the campaign, and Minister Tomczyk is one of those people. So I am not surprised that he is looking for various actions, activities that would distance him from this responsibility - he stated.

08:55

Dworczyk:

Tomczyk's and other PO politicians' actions are harmful as they undermine citizens' trust in the state
- Karol Nawrocki won the presidential election, we have to accept it - I am saying this to those critically inclined towards the president-elect. Actions like those taken by Minister Tomczyk or other PO politicians are simply harmful, because they undermine the credibility of the state, they undermine citizens' trust in the state - said Michał Dworczyk in the PR3 program “Bez uników” (Without Evasion).

08:55

Błaszczak:

Had PiS Been in Power, Apache Helicopters Would Have Arrived for the Polish Army At Least a Year Earlier
- Today, the first 8 Apache attack helicopters will be delivered to the Polish Army. These helicopters play a very important role in deterring an aggressor, and together with Abrams tanks, they form an impenetrable barrier - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

- These helicopters are a form of bridging cooperation between Poland and the United States. Two years ago, in 2023, I negotiated precisely this form of cooperation with the then Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Before signing the contract for the delivery of 96 attack helicopters, the United States committed to delivering 8 helicopters to Poland, which would be used for training Polish pilots - he continued.

- One could say that these helicopters have been acquired not thanks to the December 13th coalition, but in spite of it. Had Law and Justice been in power, and had I remained Minister of National Defence for longer, I assure you that these helicopters would have arrived for the Polish Army a year earlier. At least a year earlier, because everything was already finalized, but the December 13th coalition arrived, audits began, and nitpicking started - he added.

09:04

Evacuation from Israel? Błaszczak: Tusk is silent on the matter, uninterested in the fate of Poles there
- This is the inertia of the December 13 coalition; the Prime Minister, the head of government, Donald Tusk, is responsible for the government. He is not commenting on this matter, as is evident, he is not interested in the fate of Poles who are in Israel and require support and security - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference, when asked about the evacuation from Israel.

09:08

Śliwka:

The Only Plane Tusk Cares About is the One from Gdańsk to Warsaw
- The only plane Donald Tusk cares about is the one from Gdańsk to Warsaw, which flies on Tuesdays and returns on Thursdays. So, we truly have no illusions that this team consists of brazen, evil, corrupt people who couldn't care less about Poles - said Andrzej Śliwka at a press conference, referring to the issue of evacuation from Israel. - If they cannot take care of Polish citizens who traveled to another country, then this government has no legitimacy to rule - he continued.

09:22

Sasin:

Jakubiak knew we weren't happy with his candidacy. There were discussions where we suggested he reconsider.
Of course, Marek Jakubiak knew perfectly well that we weren't happy with his candidacy. There were discussions as well, I won't reveal the details, of course, where there was a request or perhaps a suggestion for him to consider whether it was worth dividing those votes in the first round. Marek Jakubiak made the decision he made, and I respect it, but building this kind of narrative about some sort of appendage, please remember that Marek Jakubiak has practically not been a member of the PiS club since the beginning of his term – stated Jacek Sasin on RMF FM.

09:22

Sasin:

Sikorski Would Have Been a Tougher Opponent for Us Than Trzaskowski
- Radosław Sikorski, whatever one might say about him, is a politician who at least wants to be considered serious. It's true [Radosław Sikorski would have been a tougher candidate for us], I thought so from the beginning, that if Civic Platform had put forward Radosław Sikorski in this election, he would certainly have been a tougher opponent than Rafał Trzaskowski, if only because he doesn't have such a clearly rainbow-leftist image that Trzaskowski has, an image that Trzaskowski himself has earned through his actions – stated Jacek Sasin on RMF FM.

09:24

Braun as a Future PiS Coalition Partner? Sasin: I Find It Very Difficult to Imagine
I find it difficult to imagine, and even very difficult to imagine [Braun as a minister in a coalition government]; I would prefer a PiS government on its own. Even if we had that majority, we would certainly consider broadening the coalition base of this government to include other parties ideologically close to us, but I do not think that the first party to consider would be Grzegorz Braun's Korona – Jacek Sasin said on RMF FM.

09:25

Sasin:

I Don't Believe in Government-President Cooperation. Tusk is Incapable of It
- I don't believe in [government-president] cooperation. I don't believe in it because I believe that Donald Tusk is completely incapable of such cooperation. The President is capable, and I deeply believe this, and I trust what he says, because he talks about it not only in public appearances but also in private ones. He says that he believes the President's role is to be above political dispute – said Jacek Sasin on RMF FM.

09:26

Sasin on Tusk and Giertych’s Conversations:

How does Giertych Immediately Know How These Tapes Were Created?
- I don't know where these tapes come from. Those who today announce that these are some tapes obtained using Pegasus, I don't know where they get such knowledge from, because I don't have such knowledge. How does Roman Giertych immediately know how these tapes were created? – Jacek Sasin said on RMF FM. - Or perhaps Roman Giertych was recording, or Donald Tusk was recording that conversation? We don't know that, and today the attempt to immediately claim that these are PiS services, that it's Pegasus, is perhaps an attempt at this moment to show that we are not recording each other, but rather we were recorded – he continued.

09:27

Sasin on PiS Taking Over the Podlaskie Voivodeship Assembly:

We Are Ready to Build a New Majority.
I am publicly making such an offer, that we are ready to build this new majority, but we are also leaving very little time for it, because there are truly very few days ahead of us. Last week I spoke about just a few weeks, 2-3 weeks, when we must make a binding decision about what we do next – stated Jacek Sasin on RMF FM. We have very strong social pressure, because it is not our idea, I'll say right away, meaning PiS, this referendum to recall the authorities of the [Podlaskie] voivodeship. Many circles are turning to us with this, that this is the moment, analyzing the results of the presidential elections in Podlasie, that we can undertake this effectively, and we are absolutely not defending ourselves from this, not running away from it – he continued.

09:56

Bartoszewski:

For Months We've Asked People Not to Travel to the Middle East. If Someone Goes, It's at Their Own Risk
- We are ready [for evacuation] at any moment, the problem is that for months we have been saying that people who do not necessarily have to be in Israel, Jordan, or the Middle East should not travel there. So if someone has gone there, then, so to speak, they are going at their own risk - said Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski on Polsat News' "Graffiti". - What you're saying carries a hint of resentment: 'you bad, foolish Poles went there' - commented the host, Grzegorz Kępka. - Common sense dictates: if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues warnings not to travel somewhere... I remember, not so long ago, we had a Pole who went to Rwanda. From Rwanda, he illegally crossed the border into Congo with rebels fighting in eastern Congo. There he photographed military facilities and was detained. After 6 months, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs managed to get him out, and he complained that it took 6 months. It's a good thing they didn't shoot him there - continued the Deputy Head of the MFA.

10:00

Bartoszewski:

As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, We Cannot Be Held Responsible for the Reckless Actions of Our Beloved Compatriots
- If we have been asking for many weeks not to travel to these areas, then if someone goes there, they do so at their own risk. We, as the government, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, cannot be held responsible for the reckless actions of our beloved compatriots - said Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski in "Graffiti" on Polsat News. - We expected possible problems in the Middle East region and told our compatriots: do not travel to these countries. This is not a flood that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly, but rather something that was predictable and has been spoken about for months - he continued. - Everyone has free will. We do not have a totalitarian state that says: "no Pole shall travel anywhere", [...] rather everyone travels as they wish. However, one must assess the risk. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes suggestions on its website about where to travel and where not to travel - he pointed out.

10:05

Bartoszewski:

Army and Government Ready for Evacuation, Just Need to Know How and From Where. No Plane Will Land in Israel
- The situation is wartime, it arose suddenly. The army and the government are ready to evacuate, we just need to know how and from where. Because it's impossible to land in Israel, therefore, one must get to and out of Israel by land or sea. No plane will land there - said Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

10:45

Fogiel on the Evacuation of Poles from Israel and Iran:

Such Communication Chaos is Unacceptable.
- What we are observing is, unfortunately, an expression of abdication and disgrace on the part of those in power, and thus, I say this with pain, also of the Polish state. For several hours now, we have been dealing with communication chaos, where state institutions contradict each other. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its spokesperson, says there is no evacuation, the Ministry of National Defence speaks of readiness for evacuation, the head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery suggests that an evacuation will occur. Such communication chaos is unacceptable – stated Radosław Fogiel at a press conference.

10:46

Call for Immediate Action to Evacuate Polish Citizens from the Middle East. Fogiel Appeals to MFA and MoD
- Today, from this very spot, we are calling upon the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we are calling upon the Ministry of National Defence to take immediate action for the evacuation of Polish citizens from endangered areas. We call for clear and concise communication, for the presentation of information on how many Poles are in the danger zone and what actions will be taken – said Radosław Fogiel at a press conference.

Misled on Agreed Price Payment and Daily Care: Prosecution Launches Investigation into Jerzy Ż.'s Studio Apartment
The prosecution has decided to launch an investigation concerning Jerzy Ż.'s studio apartment. In a statement released, it was noted that the prosecution received notifications regarding the potential commission of a crime related to the acquisition of the aforementioned apartment. The prosecution conducted actions, including analyzing documentation from the Social Welfare Home (DPS) and the Pomeranian branch of the National Health Fund (NFZ), and concluded that there is a justified suspicion of committing a crime punishable by imprisonment ranging from 6 months to 8 years. - The investigation has been initiated regarding the act of causing the victim, J. Ż., to make an unfavorable disposition of property in the form of his own residential unit valued at 120,000 Polish zlotys, by misleading him about the payment of the entire agreed price and about him receiving daily care - stated Mariusz Duszyński from the District Prosecutor's Office in Gdańsk in an interview with TVN24. - This act has been classified by the prosecutor as an offense under Article 286, paragraph 1 of the Penal Code. During the initiated investigation, the prosecutor will be able to conduct procedural actions or order the conduction of procedural actions which, for procedural reasons, could not be carried out during the verification proceedings - he continued. - These actions include, for example, interrogating witnesses, and possibly, if the need arises, appointing experts of various specializations to obtain relevant opinions. Only after completing the investigation and gathering a full body of evidence will the prosecutor be able to decide on the further course of this proceeding - he added.

"Within the Next Few Dozen Hours": MFA on Details of Evacuation of Poles from Israel
- The airspace over Israel remains closed, which hinders any evacuation operations. The land route through Jordan is open, so we have implemented an evacuation scenario for Polish citizens stranded in Israel via Amman - said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Henryka Mościcka-Dendys at a press conference. As she emphasized: - The evacuation of Polish citizens will concern exclusively the territory of Israel. I am correcting all public reports that have appeared in the media, suggesting it would concern the entire region or other countries. - We plan to carry out this operation as soon as we coordinate all services. […] This is a very complex logistical operation, which requires transporting our compatriots first across the border crossing to Amman, and then flying by plane to Warsaw - she continued. As she later explained: - It will be a bus convoy - we assume with some assistance, but not military - which should reach Amman airport, from where we intend to fly, most likely on a government plane. - We assume we will be ready within the next few dozen hours. We assume that the evacuation will concern only those people who are stranded in Israel as tourists or on short-term stays - Mościcka-Dendys indicated. She specified that it concerns about 200 people, and the evacuation operation itself should begin within 48 hours. As the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs noted: - Until this moment, no state, neither the EU nor other European countries, has decided to evacuate its citizens. Here, Poland will truly be the first, and we are trying not to cause a snowball effect and not to escalate tensions, because the situation is extremely delicate.

12:30

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: Evacuations Carried Out by the Polish Government Are Free of Charge. We Do Not Organize Any Commercial Evacuations
- Yesterday, information appeared in the public sphere that was heavily manipulated. The evacuation is being carried out by the Polish government for evacuated individuals free of charge - said the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Paweł Wroński, at a press conference. - Yesterday, media reports emerged stating that our honorary consul, who owns a travel agency, is offering such travel opportunities and is working on it on a commercial basis. We cannot prevent anyone from making such offers - he explained. - He has a long history in the tourism industry, however, I have emphasized this many times: an honorary consul is not, in the context of organizing such an operation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - he pointed out. - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not organize any, absolutely no commercial evacuations - Wroński stressed.

14:13

Supreme Court Spokesperson: It's Difficult to Generalize Election Protests. There Are Both Substantive Allegations and Very Abstract Ones
- It is difficult to make any generalizations about the protests, of which over a thousand have already been filed - said Aleksander Stępkowski, the press spokesperson for the Supreme Court, at a press conference. - We have some substantive allegations related, for example, to difficulties in casting a vote. We have situations where someone who voted based on a certificate had their certificate taken by the commission, but it wasn't the correct one because certificates were issued for both the first and second rounds immediately. This person had their second-round certificate taken during the first round and was unable to vote in the second round. These are protests that meet the conditions - he continued. - There are also a multitude, and these protests are predominant, a multitude of protests with very abstract allegations, where someone shares their convictions about a large number of irregularities, without documenting any of these irregularities. Therefore, depending on the content of these protests, the courts will recognize each of these allegations individually - he went on to say.

14:21

Wawrykiewicz on the Electoral Protest:

I Requested the Recusal of All Neo-Judges.
- There is such a large number of irregularities that it can raise justified suspicions that the elections were conducted improperly, unfairly, not reflecting the actual outcome, and it is the right of voters, the right of all of us, that the Supreme Court should review whether these elections were conducted properly - said Michał Wawrykiewicz at a press conference. - In my electoral protest, I also requested the recusal of all 18 neo-judges sitting in the Chamber of Extraordinary Review and Public Affairs, and I requested that the electoral protests be referred for consideration by a panel of the Supreme Court that ensures impartiality and independence, as well as the appointment of a panel in accordance with the provisions of law - he continued. - Whether it will be the Chamber of Labour or another chamber, the important thing is that it deliberates in a composition consisting exclusively of legally appointed Supreme Court judges, in short, not neo-judges. Neo-judges have no right to rule impartially and independently on electoral protests and ultimately on the validation of elections - he went on to say.

15:04

Tusk on Airbus A220 Aircraft Purchase:

The Biggest Investment in LOT's History.
"Agreement signed! LOT is buying 40 modern Airbus A220 aircraft, with an option to purchase another 44. This is the largest investment in the history of Poland's national carrier. We are building a leader in air transport in Europe" - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X.

16:45

Morawiecki on Conversation with Trump Associates:

How Various Left-Liberal Billionaire Foundations Financed So-Called Turnout Campaigns
- Following my last visit to Washington, I spoke with very close associates of President Trump. I can say directly how, from various foundations – not government ones, because President Trump blocked it, I believe in February or March, aid flowing from USAID or the National Endowment for Democracy – but various foundations, such as Soros’s and other, unfortunately, rich left-liberal multimillionaires, billionaires, funds have continuously flowed into so-called turnout campaigns – said Mateusz Morawiecki on PRZEkanał. - These campaigns had one clear message: vote for Rafał Trzaskowski. This is absolutely illegal, nontransparent, and I demonstrated this during a meeting with the Vice President of Meta, Facebook. Together with Minister Janusz Cieszyński, we showed what this illegal financing entailed. They fidgeted a bit in their chairs, hid their heads in the sand, but our arguments are absolutely overwhelming, and I believe we should not leave this without further consequences – he continued.

16:53

Morawiecki:

No Concerns of Legitimate Voiding of the Election
- I asked the people in the National Electoral Commission (PKW) who are in charge of conducting the presidential elections in this case. These dozen or so commissions [where votes are to be recounted] are a drop in the ocean compared to 32,000 commissions. There are no concerns that these elections will be legitimately voided - said Mateusz Morawiecki on PRZEkanał. - The fact that the current prime minister is using brute political force, choosing on his own Twitter which Supreme Court ruling will be accepted and which will not, is another matter. [...] But I have no doubt that if anyone could have reservations about the fair and honest conduct of these elections, it would be us towards our competitors primarily - he stated.

17:13

Morawiecki:

I Was Often Banned by the Then-Leadership of TVP. Graczak: I Can Confirm
Public media - this is a thread often raised by critics, that it shouldn't look this way. Now the successors are repeating these mistakes, doing something essentially very similar, propaganda public media. I should also beat my breast, because I worked in public media then, but I've said it publicly more than once, not once or twice, and I repeat it now, that it shouldn't look this way. Do you agree that it looked bad, that these media functioned not as they should? - Bartłomiej Graczak asked in PRZEkanał. - Yes, I agree that it shouldn't look this way. I also agree that the way different arguments were presented there was not as it should have been. Incidentally, I will also mention that I was banned very often by the then-leadership of public television - replied Mateusz Morawiecki. - I can confirm - commented the host, who was associated with TVP from 2016-2023. - Oh, you can confirm? Thank you very much, because it is - as Americans say - from the horse's mouth - replied the former prime minister.

17:16

Morawiecki:

Working on a Concrete Housing Program and a Concrete Public Finance Repair Program
- Today I am working on a concrete housing program, on a concrete public finance repair program, I am working on a concrete program related to today's battlefield, today's front line in Ukraine, but not only there – said Mateusz Morawiecki in PRZEkanał.

17:24

Kosiniak-Kamysz as Prime Minister? Morawiecki: Yes. Absolutely. I would vote for that.
- We want to communicate with those parties that see the drama in which Poland finds itself, which also includes voters of Konfederacja, I think also voters of part of the ruling coalition, because they have fled from the ruling coalition, voters of PSL, voters of Poland 2050 - Mateusz Morawiecki said in PRZEkanał. - The leadership of Trzecia Droga [...] must realize that they are in a dramatic situation. PSL may become the gravedigger of the biggest political brand in the history of Polish democracy, in the history of Poland altogether. [...] Tusk wants to absorb PSL, he wants PSL to be part of Civic Platform - he continued. - We proposed a technical government, let's call it an economic government. Let them take the reins into their own hands. [...] We will give them our projects, we can vote on these projects together with them for the good of Poland - he went on to say. - Yes. Absolutely. Yes [I would vote for that] - he added, when asked if Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz could be prime minister today.

17:28

Morawiecki:

Nawrocki Won Against Trzaskowski, Tusk, the Government, Foreign Funds, TVN, Onet, Polsat
- This campaign was absolutely not equal. Karol Nawrocki did not just win against Trzaskowski. Karol Nawrocki won against Trzaskowski, against Tusk, against the government, against the money that flowed from State Treasury companies, against money from abroad, against TVN, against Onet, against Polsat, and against many, many other media - said Mateusz Morawiecki in PRZEkanał.

17:37

Morawiecki:

Tusk's Regime Makes No Impression on Me. I Truly Don't Fear Such Scoundrels, and Sometimes Worse, Such Rascals
- I am not afraid of them at all, perhaps even more than I am not afraid of them, but I will keep that to myself. I truly have no problem answering before the courts [regarding the postal elections] if these courts keep the Constitution in mind, if they look at everything that happened then, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be acquitted - said Mateusz Morawiecki in PRZEkanał. - In a sense, I am glad that I have become a symbol of sorts, that Tusk's regime has taken me as their highest-level opponent, right? I am a top-category opponent. [...] I have already been pursued by security services, I have been beaten many times [...] there are witnesses to all of this - he continued. - If you think, or if anyone thinks, that Tusk's regime makes an impression on me, I will only tell you: let them continue to act this way - he went on to say. - It is not for me to judge [whether I am hardened], but I truly do not fear such scoundrels, and sometimes something much worse, such rascals, because unfortunately, some of their actions I can describe as very, very bad, harmful to Poland - he added.

17:48

Morawiecki on TVP:

Various radical ideas are going through my head, including liquidation.
- There were various ideas, e.g., the first channel - the opposition, the second channel - the ruling party. Anything is better than such a sewer, such a cesspool, which we are dealing with today - said Mateusz Morawiecki in PRZEkanał, when asked about the chances of liquidating or depoliticizing TVP. - Various radical ideas concerning public television are going through my head, and that's the first thing - he continued. - Yes, including liquidation - he went on to say.

17:57

Morawiecki:

We Can Either Close Down Certain Industries or Allow Seasonal Foreign Workers into Poland
- There is a huge difference between accepting illegal migrants, who then don't work, use social benefits, destroy our identity, destroy security in Poland, decrease, reduce security in Poland - and workers from the Philippines coming to Poland for, for example, 6 months, who then must return, or have an extended work permit in Poland and have no rights, no so-called social benefits in Poland - said Mateusz Morawiecki in PRZEkanał. - Please ask farmers who, for example, grow strawberries or currants, or raspberries. Or please ask fish processors on the Baltic coast, and not only there, who works there and whether Poles want to work in these enterprises. Either we can close down these industries, or allow seasonal workers from abroad into the country, due to this dramatic demographic situation - he stated.

17:57

Return to the Premiership? Morawiecki: I would like to be that helmsman, to mend the current government's mistakes
- What I can promise from my side is that if that is the decision of Poles and I have influence over the government ship, and I am one of its helmsmen, then I will certainly strive to let in, to admit the opposition to co-steering, for example, through their participation in the Supervisory Board in key projects that require continuity, such as the Central Communication Port, the expansion of Polish ports, the expansion of road networks, Polish nuclear energy - said Mateusz Morawiecki in PRZEkanał. - In these companies [...] there should be political continuity independent of terms of office, and I want to commit to that here on your program, that I will strive for it, of course, if I am the helmsman or co-helmsman of the government ship at that time - he continued. - I think that after everything I see today, how the current rulers are not coping, I can boldly say, yes, I would like to be that helmsman, I would like to mend these mistakes that are appearing - he went on to say, when asked if he would like to be that helmsman.

18:33

Jabłoński:

I have the impression Giertych is deliberately misleading his followers. He probably doesn't believe what he writes himself.
- I have the impression Roman Giertych is deliberately misleading his fans, or even his followers. When I read what he writes, there's such extreme cynicism, because he probably doesn't believe it himself - said Paweł Jabłoński on "Gość Radia ZET". - Today he posted something, and this was after the National Electoral Commission's resolution [vote on the presidential election report], saying 'it was 4:4, folks, it's getting really interesting'. […] During the first vote on the first version of the report, it was 4:4, so the commission then made amendments and adopted the report by a majority of 6:1 - he continued.

19:28

Jabłoński:

There could be 2-3 thousand Poles in Israel. A total abdication of the state in aiding citizens
- When I hear such a story, that 'there are 200 people in Israel because that's how many registered in the Odysseus system' – only 5-10% of people register in the Odysseus system, if they're lucky. Today it's tourist season, pilgrimage season. Based on what we estimate from previous years' experience, at least 2-3 thousand people are currently in Israel - Paweł Jabłoński said on "Gość Radia ZET". - If 12 people died in Tel Aviv alone during the night, then imagine that in Warsaw, 12 people would die during the night as a result of rocket fire. This is something, of course, that some people in the region are somewhat accustomed to, as it's not the first time, but it's a situation where there is a significant threat. Israel closed its airspace; it did so for a reason - he continued. - In such a situation, it simply cannot be that the Polish state says: 'We are doing nothing. Here you go, the honorary consul has his own buses, he will transport you commercially, just pay for it.' The state cannot abandon its citizens in emergency situations - he stated. - Now, fortunately, [an evacuation] is finally being organized, so I hope it will happen. However, that attitude in the initial days was a total abdication of the state's responsibility to help its citizens - he assessed.

20:23

Siemoniak:

Poland is the First Country to Begin Evacuating its Citizens from Israel
- We are doing everything to make this happen as quickly as possible. Poland is the first country to begin evacuating its citizens, so as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who are leading this effort, stated, it will happen within the next few dozen hours - said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's 'Kropka nad i', when asked when Polish citizens would fly back from Israel.

Bartoszewski on Poles Who Went to the Middle East "at their own risk." Siemoniak: Such words should not have been spoken
- No Pole in the world will ever be left behind by our authorities, by our government, so it seems to me that this is the most important thing here - said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24, when asked about the words of Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski regarding Poles who traveled, among other places, to Israel. - I think not [such words should not have been spoken by the deputy minister], that in this case it's one sentence too many, but in any situation a Polish citizen finds themselves anywhere in the world, we will always do everything to ensure they are safe and return to Poland - he continued.

Sikorski:

Poland is the First Major EU Country to Decide on Evacuating Citizens from the Middle East
- The honorary consul, who also owns a travel agency, wanted to do good. He wanted to help, at a time when the decision had not yet been made, but it turned out as it did. However, please remember that Poland is the first major country in the European Union to have decided on an evacuation yesterday. Only a few dozen minutes ago, Germany made that decision; this morning, the German ambassador was with me and said they hadn't done it yet. The United States isn't doing it, France isn't doing it, Great Britain isn't doing it – Radosław Sikorski said on TVN24.

Sikorski:

Poland Supports a Two-State Solution in the Middle East
- The role of diplomacy is, firstly, to maintain communication channels so that decision-makers can talk to each other at all, and secondly, to seek solutions. For this reason, among others, Poland continues to support a two-state solution in the Middle East. Poland believes that Israel has the right to live within secure borders, but so does Palestine, and that without resolving this conflict, the Middle East will not be peaceful – said Radosław Sikorski on TVN24.

Sikorski on the escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict:

It cannot be ruled out.
"This cannot be ruled out [escalation of the conflict], especially if Iran were to strike military bases of Western countries, or close the Strait of Hormuz, which I warned my Iranian counterpart about" – stated Radosław Sikorski on TVN24.

Siemoniak:

Tens of Thousands of Citizens and the National Electoral Commission Have Doubts. It Must Be Clarified Whether Everything in the Elections Proceeded Lawfully
- First and foremost, it must be clarified, I'm talking here about the actions of the National Electoral Commission, the Supreme Court, whether everything proceeded according to regulations, according to the law, according to the rules in these elections - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24. - Tens of thousands of citizens who are filing protests have them [doubts], the National Electoral Commission has them, today's report has shown certain things, and the Supreme Court, when it rules, will also have to listen to both the National Electoral Commission and the Prosecutor General, so I believe that these matters absolutely require clarification - he continued.

20:43

Siemoniak:

Public Criticism of the Prime Minister by Ministers is Unacceptable
- I really dislike this, however, criticizing Donald Tusk is one of the favorite national pastimes for a large portion of Poles. The famous "Tusk's fault." [...] If a minister dislikes something, they can go to the prime minister and tell him what they dislike. Public criticism is simply unacceptable – said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24, when asked about criticism of Prime Minister Donald Tusk by members of the government.

Centres for Foreigner Integration? Siemoniak: PiS Protests Against Its Own Project. In This Form, It's Unacceptable
- I believe that this PiS government project requires fundamental corrections and it is the height of hypocrisy on the part of PiS that PiS MPs are protesting against their own project at this moment. Informing foreigners who are in Poland about what the rules are in Poland, providing them with support, I am talking about those foreigners who are here legally, yes - said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24, when asked about integration centres for immigrants. - However, the idea that this is meant to be some form of integration or the scare tactic that foreigners will be sleeping in these centres, as PiS MPs have said, is simply absurd and unacceptable - he continued. - In the form that PiS suggests and how PiS prepared it, it is probably unacceptable and we should change it to information centres for foreigners - he went on to say.

Siemoniak on Tusk and Giertych Tapes:

A Huge Accusation Against Kaczyński and the Entire Team.
- This matter has several dimensions. The first is that the appearance of these kinds of tapes publicly shows that during PiS rule, operational techniques were used against opposition politicians, and as this tape shows, completely without reason, because there is absolutely nothing in it that would have any procedural character - said Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24, when asked about the tapes involving Roman Giertych and Prime Minister Donald Tusk. - This is a huge accusation against President Kaczyński and the entire team, who first denied the existence of the Pegasus software, then denied that they were spying on opposition politicians, and now we have proof that this was not the case - he continued. - The second issue is the question of why such operational material was not destroyed, because if something has no procedural significance [...] why was it not destroyed - he went on to say. - All these issues are being handled by investigation team no. 3 of the prosecutor's office, which has received all materials from the Central Anticorruption Bureau and will also investigate how this happened - he added.

Mentzen on Republic's tapes:

There is no scandal there" and "Soviet-African standards.
- Publishing private conversations is simply weak. Especially since there is no scandal there. And recording conversations between a lawyer and his client, not to mention publishing them, is already Soviet-African standards - wrote Sławomir Mentzen on the X portal, referring to the tapes involving Roman Giertych published today by TV Republika.
