Nawrocki to Meet Trump? Mastalerek: Discussions Underway
- Polish-American relations are the best in history, and as a result, this visit will certainly happen quite soon, one [Karol Nawrocki's visit to the White House] and the other [Donald Trump's visit to Warsaw], thanks to the hard work of President Andrzej Duda - said Marcin Mastalerek in the 'Morning Interview' on RMF FM. - Announcing such matters is, of course, ultimately up to the American side, but to my knowledge, these discussions are already ongoing - he stated.

Leszczyna Announces PLN 18 Billion for Hospitals. Zandberg: The Question is Where to Find It, Because if, for Example, We Stop Training Resident Doctors, That's No Solution
- We have a huge problem in hospitals. Many hospitals are facing the risk of closing departments - said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Radia Zet". - The question is where to find it, because if these reallocations involve, for example, ceasing to train resident doctors, then that is no solution. We need to increase public spending on healthcare and, at the same time, which the government also lacks the courage to do, cut the pathological relationships between public and private healthcare - he continued, when asked about Minister Izabela Leszczyna's announcement that PLN 18 billion will be found within the next 12 months.

08:51

Mastalerek:

Tusk should write three words to Duda - congratulations, thank you, and I apologize
- Yesterday there was an issue concerning the increase in defense spending. I am surprised, because I was observing Donald Tusk's Twitter, he is always very active, and yesterday he should have written three words, after the historic success of the [NATO] summit in The Hague, and he did not write those words: congratulations, thank you, and I apologize - said Marcin Mastalerek in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM. - I congratulate President Duda for being the first leader in the world a year and a half ago to come up with this proposal [5% of GDP for defense]. I apologize for saying back then that it had no chance at all, that I mocked it, and my party, PO, mocked it. I thank President Duda for his hard, consistent work for Poland, because this increase in spending will ensure Poland's security - he continued.

08:54

Zandberg:

If the healthcare budget is not immediately amended, waiting queues will lengthen further
- If there isn't an immediate change, an amendment regarding the healthcare budget, then in the last quarter of this year, these waiting queues will lengthen even further - said Adrian Zandberg on Radio Zet. - Yes [I expect an amendment], we have been fighting for it for many months, as early as December last year, when this budget was passed, Razem pointed out that there was a problem embedded within it, that it was an idea that we would always postpone healthcare problems until later, that we would say: no, we won't deal with it now, but rather in the following year - he continued.

09:01

Zandberg:

If Giertych's Stories Were True, They Would Compromise the Government. There Would Be Grounds for Tusk's Resignation
- I look with great astonishment at the seemingly serious politicians of Civic Platform, who are repeating increasingly bizarre stories after Mr. Roman Giertych - said Adrian Zandberg on Radio Zet. - This is not only irresponsible, but I also wanted to draw attention to the fact that it is quite compromising for the government side. Because if what Mr. Giertych, the attorney, is telling the world were true, that we are dealing with some conspiracy in which tens of thousands of people are involved to deliberately influence the election results, meaning, in reality, to attack the Polish state, if this is true, then it is compromising for the government and Donald Tusk - he continued. - Does this mean that there is a conspiracy in Poland involving tens of thousands of people, but Polish services have not noticed this conspiracy? Does this mean that Polish services do not control the situation at all and are unable to counteract, for example, the actions of foreign agents? If that were the case, if it were true, then in my opinion, it would be grounds for the Prime Minister's resignation - he went on to say.

09:03

Mastalerek on yesterday’s conversation with Trump:

President Duda also spoke about Nawrocki
- Yesterday there was a very good conversation [between Andrzej Duda and Donald Trump] on the sidelines of the NATO summit. They discussed Polish security, as well as economic matters and the situation here in Poland. President Trump is truly interested - said Marcin Mastalerek in the “Morning Interview” on RMF FM. - There was also a conversation about the elections, of course. The President also tried to introduce the president-elect, to talk about continuity. That he is a politician from Andrzej Duda's camp, that everything will look the same as before. So, to create the best possible PR for the president-elect in America - he continued.

09:09

Zandberg:

Our primary plan is for Razem to run independently in the elections. We won't be confined to the dwindling pond of 'voters of the late Left Committee'
- For us at Razem, it's not about the label, but about concrete public policies - Adrian Zandberg said on Radio Zet. - For me, the primary plan we are focusing on is for Razem to run independently in the parliamentary elections. But I bring up this issue of labels because we won't be confined to a dwindling pond called 'voters of the late Left Committee' - he continued. - Poland is much larger, there are many more people who agree with what Razem says about public investments, what Razem says about personal freedom, what Razem says about the public healthcare system, how we want to reorganize science, research, and development. And we are speaking to all these voters, not just those who once voted for the left - he went on to say.

09:14

Zandberg:

Giertych is Shaking the State for YouTube Reach. He's Behaving as if He Wants to Become PO's Macierewicz
- Mr. Roman Giertych is behaving as if he wants to become the Mr. Macierewicz of Civic Platform - said Adrian Zandberg on Radio Zet. - In the name of building his YouTube reach, Mr. Roman Giertych is shaking the state. I believe this is simply irresponsible - he continued. "Prime Minister Tusk Could Stop Giertych's Gallop If He Only Wished to" - Prime Minister Tusk could stop this gallop of Mr. Giertych if he only wished to, but he hasn't stopped it, so apparently, he doesn't want to. [...] Mr. Giertych's political position is a consequence of Donald Tusk authorizing it - he went on to say.

09:17

Mastalerek on the Election Debate:

Tusk is Destroying Democracy in Poland in His Party’s Interest.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk is an exceptionally cynical and ruthless politician who is destroying democracy in Poland in the interest of his political party - said Marcin Mastalerek in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM. - This is a cynical move by Prime Minister Tusk, and he will, of course, benefit from it as the leader of Civic Platform. First and foremost, he has gained the fact that no one will scrutinize the elections today. He will never have any opposition again, his satellites are effectively being morally blackmailed today because the Prime Minister paints the following picture: "there is a great conspiracy, there is good and there is evil. The fight is not over, even though we are in power, we still have to fight for this democracy" - he continued. - "We have not yet won. Understand this, our followers of the Twitter, political sect. The final battle still lies ahead." This is a cynical maneuver. [...] It will consolidate, it will divide - he added. - One list, yes. He wanted this in 2023. [...] Whether it will be one list, or one large and one small [...], he will certainly strive for it, because it will be a chance for him to win and continue governing - he assessed.

09:25

Manowska:

56 Thousand Election Protests Filed by Yesterday
- As of yesterday, there are approximately 56 thousand [election protests], [this number will not change] unless something else arrives from Poczta Polska – stated Małgorzata Manowska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

09:26

Manowska on the Sharing of Protest Templates, Including by Giertych:

Irresponsible Action.
- I believe it was frivolous and irresponsible for politicians to publish [these protest] templates. The action itself was irresponsible because these are uniform protests, with the same content, which will be combined and have already been combined for common identification – Małgorzata Manowska said on TVN24. - Incidentally, people have become so fixated on these templates that, for example, they are sending us, as part of the protests, a self-adhesive yellow sticky note, where it only says: I support Roman Giertych's protest, signature, PESEL number – she added.

09:26

President Warned Prime Minister Against Irresponsible Behavior. Mastalerek on the Behind-the-Scenes of the National Security Council Meeting
- President Andrzej Duda, it's very good that he reacted as head of state to what is happening. I don't want to say exactly what he said because it was a classified meeting [of the National Security Council] - Marcin Mastalerek said in an RMF FM 'Morning Interview'. - However, the president warned the prime minister against irresponsible behavior and spoke about the consequences. And it is very good that President Duda did this first during interviews and on social media, and now he has done it during a meeting of a constitutional body - he continued. - I hope that [the prime minister] understood. Although after what he is doing... I thought he understood then. But with Donald Tusk, it's that he says one thing and does another, and that's the only consistency - he assessed.

09:27

Around 150 Protests are Individual Protests. Manowska on 'Substantive' Protests
Around 150 protests are individual protests, where each citizen pointed out facts they considered incorrect, submitted evidentiary motions, and this protest was sent to the court – stated Małgorzata Manowska on TVN24. - The Electoral Code specifies the allegations that can be raised in these protests; these are allegations concerning offenses against elections, various facts during voting, during the determination of voting results, and election results. Any other allegations are not recognized by the Supreme Court and are left without further proceedings – she continued.

09:28

Manowska on Enabling the Supreme Court to Examine the Internet's Influence on Election Campaigns:

The Electoral Code Needs to Be Changed.
The Supreme Court is bound by the Electoral Code. The Electoral Code needs to be changed in this regard, enabling the Supreme Court to examine such issues, either the financing of election campaigns or the influence of the internet on election campaigns. Meanwhile, protests that either have formal deficiencies or raise allegations that are not permitted by the Electoral Code are dismissed without further proceedings – stated Małgorzata Manowska on TVN24.

09:29

Manowska on the Justice System Situation:

Chaos and Mess Created by Groups of Judges and Politicians.
- If the government had genuinely wanted to solve the problem in the justice system from the outset, it would have sat down for talks and not listened to some aggressive ideas from judges, or ideas that are completely out of this world. How much further ahead would this government be if it had solved this problem – Małgorzata Manowska said on TVN24. - Of course [the situation in the justice system] is chaos and a mess, I agree. The question is, who created it, I'll tell you honestly now, who created it. It was created by groups of judges and politicians alike, who set one group against another in hostility – she continued.

10:34

Mentzen:

Jacek Murański, Roman Giertych, Bracia Kamraci, Donald Tusk
"Jacek Murański, Roman Giertych, Bracia Kamraci, Donald Tusk. What wonderful times we live in, that all these figures have crossed paths and their destinies have begun to intertwine!" - wrote Sławomir Mentzen.

10:44

Hennig-Kloska on PLN 1.3 Billion for Local Governments:

We Are Launching European Funds Support for Flood-Affected Areas.
- We are launching additional support from European funds for areas affected by last year's floods. These are extremely important funds, supporting the reconstruction of these areas after the flood, this time for local government units. They are highly anticipated for the reconstruction of this extremely important structure, infrastructure, both from the perspective of the quality of life for residents in the area, and also for strengthening the resilience of these areas to potential floods and inundation – stated Paulina Hennig-Kloska at a press conference. - Exactly PLN 1.3 billion, which will go to local governments, as well as public institutions, and will accelerate the process of water and sewage infrastructure and wastewater infrastructure, addressing the demand for both drinking water and wastewater disposal – she added.

10:46

Hennig-Kloska Appeals to the President Regarding the Wind Turbine Act:

If He Wants to Ensure Low Energy Prices for Citizens, He Should Sign It.
- According to data from the Energy Market Agency for the entire past year, wind is the cheapest source [of energy]. Coal and gas can be twice as expensive when it comes to the technical cost of production. If Mr. President Duda wants to ensure low energy prices for citizens, both now and in the future, and ensure the competitiveness of the Polish economy, he should sign this [wind turbine] act. I very much ask him and strongly appeal to him; it is in the interest of the Republic – said Paulina Hennig-Kloska at a press conference.

10:49

Kierwiński on State Actions for Flood Victims:

Never Before Has There Been Such Great Aid in the Case of Natural Disasters.
- Over 8 billion zlotys have already reached or will reach flood-affected areas in the coming weeks. Of course, in the initial period, the most intense one, we used domestic funds, which were at the disposal of local governments. Simultaneously, with Minister Pełczyńska-Nałęcz and the Minister of Interior and Administration, we conducted a very open dialogue with local government officials regarding the need for European funds – stated Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference. - The scale of this aid, provided by the state, also thanks to European funds, is simply unprecedented. Never before in the case of natural disasters in Poland has there been such substantial state assistance, and we will speak loudly about it because it is one of the priorities of this coalition, a priority of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, to help those who truly need it most – he continued.

10:51

Kaleta:

For 3 Weeks We've Seen a Desperate Attempt to Delegitimize the President Elected by the Nation
- What we've been seeing for 3 weeks is a desperate attempt to delegitimize the president elected by the nation. Those who were hoping Rafał Trzaskowski would become president are trying to do this, so that numerous violations of the law committed by these individuals, I'm primarily referring to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice, Donald Tusk and Adam Bodnar, would be erased by some kind of amnesty law – stated Sebastian Kaleta in the program “Sedno Sprawy” on Radio Plus. - Meaning, that for breaking the law during the period when Andrzej Duda was president, there would be no criminal liability, such a counter-argument, it was said that it was all ready – he continued.

11:11

"Tusk Allows Giertych This So No One Questions Why Trzaskowski Lost." Żukowska Writes About "Madness" and "Delusion"
- Why is Donald Tusk allowing Roman Giertych to engage in this madness? Well, it’s so that no one excessively questions why Rafał Trzaskowski lost the election - Anna Maria Żukowska wrote on the X platform. - It is worth noting that the person concerned (the candidate) has not declared himself president, is not participating in this delusion, is not organizing any “Election Recount Movement,” and has simply returned to his work as the city’s mayor - indicated the Left party MP.

11:17

Fruitful Cross-Party Cooperation for the Good of the Country Foreseen. Mentzen Meets with Nawrocki
- Thank you, Mr. President, for a good conversation about the future of Poland! Fruitful cross-party cooperation for the good of our country is on the horizon – Sławomir Mentzen wrote on the X portal, publishing a photo with Karol Nawrocki.

13:04

Szłapka:

We All Feel the EU's Approach to Illegal Migration Will Change Significantly
- Right now, the last European Council meeting of Poland's presidency is commencing. Prime Minister Donald Tusk is present, and prior to this Council, two meetings took place. The first was with a group of states very clearly and firmly advocating for the European Union to adopt a tougher migration policy and a more resolute stance on combating illegal migration – stated Adam Szłapka at a press briefing. - This meeting included, among others, Italy and Germany, as well as Poland. A total of 14 states participated in this meeting, so we all feel that the European Union's approach [to illegal migration] will change significantly, and this was very evident during Poland's presidency – he continued.

13:05

Szłapka:

After 6 Months of Polish Presidency, No One in Europe Doubts Taking Responsibility for Security
- It is we who are convincing our partners that we all, all of Europe, must bear the costs for the eastern border to be secure and for strong infrastructure to be built on this border – said Adam Szłapka at a press briefing. - I think that after these 6 months of Polish presidency in Europe, no one has any doubts that taking responsibility for our security should be our priority – he added.

13:06

Szłapka Responds to the President Regarding the Wind Power Act:

This Isn't Backing Anyone into a Corner.
This is a good solution, it's freezing energy prices, it's hard for me to imagine the President not wanting to agree to it. This isn't backing anyone into a corner, it's simply a good solution, and our task is to prepare the best possible solutions, there are no other subtexts here – stated Adam Szłapka at a press briefing.

13:23

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Never in the EU's History Have There Been Defense Spending Increases; They Are Only Starting Now That Poland Holds the Presidency
- Winning these negotiations for the Safe program [...] the entire strategy of building a defense industry in Europe, rearming our armies to make NATO stronger, that is the idea of the Polish presidency - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference. - This is a great success for the Polish presidency; never in the history of the European Union has there been defense spending, only now that Poland has assumed the presidency are these expenditures on armaments and security beginning - he continued.

13:30

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

The Election Result is Decided. Those Hoping for a Change Are Making a Mistake
- Electoral protests should be considered, to check where there were shortcomings, and to adopt recommendations for the future. The election result is decided. Those who are looking for some hope in changing the election result are making a mistake, because Poles have decided - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

13:46

Bosak:

Confederation's Consent Withheld for German Uniformed Services Operating on Polish Territory
We do not consent to German uniformed services operating any longer without any control from the Polish parliament on Polish territory. We do not consent to citizens who stand in defense of our territory, conducting civilian checks of what is happening at our border, and towards whom German uniformed services have intervened in recent days, being treated in a hostile manner – said Krzysztof Bosak at a press conference.

13:47

Tusk:

A serious test for coalition leaders. If you don't know how to behave, then for good measure, behave decently
- A serious test awaits the leaders of the 15X Coalition. I know it's hard to find legal and effective ways to act within this systemic mess we inherited from PiS. If you don't know how to behave, then for good measure, behave decently. And don't let yourselves be divided - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on the X portal.

13:57

Bosak Calls for Minister Siemoniak's Resignation: Border Guards Treated Like Taxis for Illegal Migrants
- We will be calling for Minister Siemoniak's resignation in connection with the situation on the western border. The measure has truly run out. This is not a situation we have been observing for yesterday, a week, or a month. This situation has been ongoing for approximately a year – stated Krzysztof Bosak at a press conference. - Nine months ago, we were at the border explaining this situation. [...] We obtained information from the Border Guard that the Polish side does not verify the identity and history of immigrants handed over to us by Germany in any way. And the concept of so-called border control by the German side is being extended to a border strip that has no legal definition – he continued. - This situation has accelerated and is escalating. At this moment, it is evident that Germany has lost all restraint. They are simply bringing entire cars of these immigrants, and the Polish Border Guard has its hands tied. Situations arise where officers are treated like free taxis for illegal immigrants who are to be transported around the country – he assessed. - The honor of Polish officers is thus disgraced. They are forced to betray the country's interests, but in reality, it is the minister who betrays these interests – he added.

13:59

Bosak Calls on the Government to Act:

Poland's Border Must Be Closed to Illegal Immigration from Germany.
- Poland must pursue an assertive policy towards Germany, not grovel before the German government, before the Bundespolizei, and apply this foolish, idiotic principle of blind trust and not verifying anything. Poland's border must be closed to illegal immigration sent to us here from Germany – stated Krzysztof Bosak at a press conference.

16:25

Żukowska:

In snap elections, Nawrocki would crush even Sikorski; just look at the government's approval ratings
"We need one thing from you. Courage" - wrote Radio Rebeliant on X, referring to Prime Minister Donald Tusk's post. "Courage to break the constitution and not swear in the president? What do you actually expect in the end, just without mincing words? New elections? I can tell you right now that in new elections, Nawrocki would crush even Sikorski, just look at the government's approval ratings" - wrote Anna Maria Żukowska.

17:18

Czarnek:

PiS Takes Control of the District Council in Lublin
- PiS is taking control of the District Council in Lublin. Piotr Sawicki, Chairman of the Lublin District Council from KO, has just been removed by votes from PiS and Polski 2050, and Krzysztof Kozieł from PiS has been appointed as the new Chairman of this Council. Heartfelt congratulations to the new Chairman and the new majority in one of the largest districts in Poland! - wrote Przemysław Czarnek on social media.

19:29

Zajączkowska-Hernik on the Nawrocki-Mentzen Meeting:

Every Politically Mature Environment Should Support the President on Key Issues.
- We believe that every politically mature environment should support the president on such key issues as, for example, the security of our country – stated Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik on Radio ZET. - I believe that such meetings are absolutely necessary. Karol Nawrocki is a politician who, I have a feeling, will be sworn in on August 6th, but he is also a politician without experience, and I believe that every sensible voice in politics will be needed to ensure this presidency is a responsible one and, above all, that our interests are secured – she continued.

19:32

Zajączkowska-Hernik on TD and the Left:

If They Want to Be in the Future Sejm, They Will Have to Be on KO’s Lists.
- I don’t have a good prognosis for this government. I believe Donald Tusk is employing the same old tactic that PiS also used, namely absorbing its coalition partners. We have a situation where, although Donald Tusk’s government would not have come into being without the Left and without the Third Way, which has already fallen apart, the Third Way and the Left also do not exist politically without Donald Tusk – Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik stated on Radio ZET. - Donald Tusk, if he wants to create strong lists, will want to draw them onto his lists, and in turn, if these groups want to be in the Sejm at all in the next elections, they will have to join the KO list – she continued.

19:33

Zajączkowska-Hernik on Nawrocki's victory:

Political maturity requires accepting this outcome.
- Such irregularities are always concerning, but I don't expect them to be on such a large scale that they could change or overturn the presidential election results. In my opinion, Karol Nawrocki has been elected President of the Republic, and a certain political maturity would require accepting this outcome, regardless of whether he was our candidate or not – stated Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik on Radio ZET.

19:34

Zajączkowska-Hernik:

The Romanian Scenario is Impossible in Poland; Nawrocki Had Significant American Backing
- I know that some politicians would very much like a Romanian scenario, which is not possible in Poland, if only because I believe that Karol Nawrocki had very significant American backing in the presidential election. It was very evident at CPAC in Jasionka, where I was. There, very serious circles within Donald Trump's administration stated directly that it was Karol Nawrocki who was to win the elections in Poland – Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik said on Radio ZET.

19:36

"A Nod to the Core Electorate." Zajączkowska-Hernik on "Tusk Engaging with the Narrative of Falsified Elections"
Currently, even Donald Tusk's engagement with this narrative of falsified elections and the circumstances of the vote recount is a nod to that core electorate, to whom Donald Tusk essentially has nothing else to offer, apart from this continuous, anti-PiS narrative, and that's what he's feeding on at the moment – stated Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik on Radio ZET.

I believe Karol Nawrocki has been elected president. Whether someone likes it or not, he will be the president of our country for the next 5 years – she added.

19:50

Nawrocki Met with Kosiniak-Kamysz, Szefernaker Discusses Details:

He Cared About It.
- Yesterday, a very good, long meeting with the former head of the Ministry of National Defence, Deputy Prime Minister in the Law and Justice government, Mr. Mariusz Błaszczak, today meetings including with Mr. Sławomir Mentzen, but also an afternoon meeting with the current head of the Ministry of National Defence, Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz - said Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with Grzegorz Kępka on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News. - The president-elect, Mr. President Karol Nawrocki, is holding, as I said, various meetings, those with his associates, and also with politicians. After his inauguration, he will also be the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and as president, he also met with the head of the Ministry of National Defence today - he continued. - [They discussed] primarily what the relations between the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and the head of the Ministry of National Defence should be, how to develop these relations in the future so that they are good relations for Poland - he went on to say. - This is a meeting that took place today, the president-elect cared about it, and the minister, the deputy prime minister, also had the desire for such a meeting to occur - he added. - No [it wasn't the deputy prime minister's initiative], it was an exchange of views between two gentlemen who, at some point, decided that such a meeting should take place in some perspective - he emphasized.

19:56

Szefernaker:

I Don't Fully Believe There's a Chance for a Different Coalition to Emerge in Parliament Today
- I don't fully believe that there is a chance today for a different coalition to emerge in parliament, given that we recently had a vote [of confidence], where the coalition partners had a chance, Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz had a chance, Szymon Hołownia, the Speaker of the Sejm, had a chance, and other politicians from those parties had a chance to show that they are drawing conclusions from the fact that the government received a red card - said Paweł Szefernaker on Polsat News. - In the future, we need to talk, because this is a bad government - he continued.

20:04

Szefernaker on Tusk's Actions and His Post on X:

Paranoia" and "Politically Setting Fire to Poland.
- Donald Tusk is once again setting fire to Poland, and statements like this are the result of that. Simply put, starting from the actions taken at the beginning of this government, the attack on television, on the prosecution, illegal actions in many areas, through statements made during the campaign [...] speaking of imaginary accusations and 'patocelebrities' - said Paweł Szefernaker in Polsat News, when asked about Prime Minister Donald Tusk's post. - This is a kind of paranoia now, politically setting fire to Poland just to save oneself, to save one's political camp, to seek support somewhere in the hardest core electorate - he continued. - Today we have a Sejm session, the third day of the Sejm session, politicians from Civic Platform are walking around and complaining that their leaders, let's be frank, have a paranoia associated with the presidential elections - he went on to say. - Today, the coalition and Civic Platform have the face of Roman Giertych and Donald Tusk, who stands behind him - he added.

20:13

Szefernaker to Polsat Journalist: Unfortunately, You Are Repeating Giertych's Lies
– Today, 28 Supreme Court judges and 5 former Constitutional Tribunal presidents, in two separate letters, appealed for the Chamber of Extraordinary Control not to rule on the validity of the elections, because according to rulings from two European courts, as well as the Supreme Court, it is not a court in the legal sense. What do you have to say about that? – Grzegorz Kępka asked on Polsat News’s “Gość Wydarzeń”. – And did this same chamber rule on the validity of parliamentary elections 1.5 years ago? Do you remember such a letter? – Paweł Szefernaker replied. – Only then there wasn't such controversy, such a wave of doubts – the host responded. – Mr. Editor, you are unfortunately repeating certain lies by Roman Giertych. What wave of irregularities are you talking about? About 13 commissions where votes are being recounted? [...] Are you talking about those tens of thousands of identical letters that were sent, where people changed their first and last name on a template and entered Roman Giertych's PESEL number? – commented the PiS MP. – It seems that’s a fake with the PESEL – the journalist replied. – Alright. The same applications were duplicated. And you say that it's a wave? We are really talking about isolated cases – Szefernaker continued.

20:23

Szefernaker:

PO's Coalition Partners Are Ashamed They Have to Endorse Tusk and Giertych's Paranoia
- Have you heard the statements from the coalition politicians? Today they are ashamed - Lewica or PSL MPs - that they have to endorse the paranoia of Donald Tusk and Roman Giertych - said Paweł Szefernaker on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

20:30

Szefernaker:

Even PO Politicians I Spoke to Today Are Ashamed of This Election Madness
- Thanks to the decision of the same Chamber [Extraordinary Control Chamber of the Supreme Court], Donald Tusk is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, because the Sejm could be elected. The Chamber ruled on the correctness of the parliamentary election results, which resulted in the election of Donald Tusk. Does this mean he should not have been sworn in then? - said Paweł Szefernaker on Polsat News's “Gość Wydarzeń” (Guest of Events). - This is madness, which even PO politicians I spoke to today are ashamed of - he indicated.

Nawrocki will continue to talk with further candidates.

Szefernaker:

Today, associating a politician with Prime Minister Tusk Leads to Electoral Defeat
- We managed to show Poles that Rafał Trzaskowski is not an independent politician, that he is Donald Tusk's deputy, and I think the Civic Platform milieu was convinced this would be an asset in this campaign. They did nothing about it, not once did they undertake actions in the campaign that would have allowed them to demonstrate any independence on Rafał Trzaskowski's part - said Paweł Szefernaker in the Rymanowski Live program. - On the one hand, something they thought was an asset, we were convinced was not an asset, but rather a big problem for Rafał Trzaskowski. The other side waded into it and lost the election. That is to say, today associating a politician with Prime Minister Donald Tusk causes them to lose the election - he continued.

Szefernaker:

Poles Will Not Let Their Election Results Be Stolen
- It was record turnout. In the Third Polish Republic, after 1989, never have so many Poles gone to the polls. Poles will not allow this result to be stolen from them - said Paweł Szefernaker on the program Rymanowski Live. - The fact that Poles went, voted for one candidate or another, mobilized themselves, showed the strength they demonstrated in this second round of elections… Many different presidential elections in Poland in the second round have excited Poles: Wałęsa–Kwaśniewski, Lech Kaczyński–Donald Tusk, and subsequent ones. However, never have so many Poles gone to the ballot box. Poles will not allow these elections to be taken away from them - he pointed out.

Szefernaker:

I Could Always Count on Bilan in This Campaign
- In this campaign, I could always count on Adam Bilan, many times, on various matters, regardless of where he was, whether in Strasbourg or Brussels - said Paweł Szefernaker in the Rymanowski Live program.

He spoke with Trump, and they both agreed that this trip should happen.

He has spoken with Donald Trump, and the two gentlemen also agreed that the realization of this trip should happen – Paweł Szefernaker said on the Rymanowski Live program. As he emphasized: – When it will be – it's hard to say due to calendars, plans, and various international events. But this is our commitment that was made during the campaign.
