Mastalerek:

If there were doubts, even in 10 commissions, they must be counted. But that doesn't mean we don't know the election results
- We need to separate two issues. On the one hand, every vote counts, and if there were doubts, even in 10 commissions out of 31,000 commissions, then these 10 commissions must be recounted. But we have a second issue: the fact that every vote counts doesn't mean that with a difference of 370,000 votes, these 10 commissions will be significant and the elections are decided - said Marcin Mastalerek in an interview with Grzegorz Kępka on Polsat News' "Graffiti". - Yes, every vote counts. But the fact that every vote counts and that some errors occurred in 10 commissions doesn't mean that we don't know the election results - he repeated.

08:26

Mastalerek:

Tusk Behaves Like the Center of the Universe – As If Democracy Only Applies When He's in Power
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk behaves [...] as if he were the center of the universe, as if democracy applied solely and exclusively when Donald Tusk is in power – said Marcin Mastalerek on "Graffiti" Polsat News.

08:34

President-Elect Invites Minister of National Defence. Zgorzelski on Details of Nawrocki's Meeting with Kosiniak-Kamysz
- Yesterday, a meeting took place between the president-elect and the Minister of National Defence, the Deputy Prime Minister. In my opinion, there is nothing strange about this; on the contrary, I believe it is constitutionally justified – said Piotr Zgorzelski in the 'Morning Interview' on RMF FM. - The president-elect invited the Minister of National Defence. I think, besides the fact that the Minister of National Defence conveyed what was discussed at the NATO summit, they probably talked about cooperation, because, to put it bluntly, the individuals holding these two positions are constitutionally destined to work together – he continued.

08:39

Mastalerek:

All of Poland Knows the Presidential Election Results. Tusk's Cynical Maneuvers Destroy Democracy and the State
- All of Poland knows these [presidential election] results. However, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is behaving exceptionally cynically today. [...] These cynical maneuvers destroy democracy, the state, trust in the state. But unfortunately, they may be effective for him and his personal position in Civic Platform and within his camp – said Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News’s “Graffiti”. Commenting on the head of government's post from yesterday, he stated: - It is difficult to find a logical explanation why, at a time when a war is being waged at our border, when the whole world is dealing with Iran and Israel, and the United States, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is unleashing a political war in Poland - I have found it. I know why the Prime Minister is doing this – because he is an exceptionally cynical player and is only interested in his party. Is this responsible, does it serve Poland's interests? Of course not – he stated.

08:44

Sawicki Does Not Rule Out Another Coalition Involving PSL. Zgorzelski: This is Not the Party's Stance
- Mr. Marek Sawicki is the senior marshal, so the depth of thought of the senior marshal always has that value which, in my opinion, is very important, but it is also often not the party's stance - said Piotr Zgorzelski in RMF FM, when asked about Marek Sawicki's statement in which he did not rule out another coalition involving the PSL: "The citizens will decide. If the citizens decide that such and such a coalition is needed for the future of Poland, then it is the politician's duty to respond positively to such a coalition." - We respect the senior marshal and his statements, as he is the longest-serving parliamentarian in the Sejm. What he said is not out of the question, but it is also not the party's stance - he continued.

08:50

Mastalerek on Kosiniak-Kamysz’s Meeting with Nawrocki:

He Sent a Clear Signal He Won't Be Blackmailed by Tusk.
- We see how the allies of Prime Minister Donald Tusk are behaving. Do you think this meeting, which Paweł Szefernaker spoke about yesterday on Polsat, the meeting between Karol Nawrocki and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, was accidental? – said Marcin Mastalerek on Polsat News’s “Graffiti,” referring to the words of Nawrocki's future chief of staff. He stated: - In my opinion, it was a clear signal from Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz that he acknowledges the election results, that Prime Minister Donald Tusk cannot be blackmailed on Twitter, and that only decent people know what they have to do. - On one hand, we have the cynical Donald Tusk, who considers himself the political center of the universe – just as he thought in 2020 that Rafał Trzaskowski was the president in his heart. On the other hand, we have Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, who is meeting with Karol Nawrocki. This means: yes, he acknowledges him as the president-elect. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has just been snubbed – he assessed.

08:52

Zgorzelski on the Draft Law on the Status of a Next of Kin and its Assumptions:

It Makes People's Lives Easier
- There are [assumptions for the draft law on the status of a next of kin], Urszula Pasławska, our vice-president, is in possession of these assumptions [...] it is a very interesting project. It is a project that, in fact, makes people's lives easier, not systemically, but individually, because people can form relationships based on these various aspects of life [that they need] - said Piotr Zgorzelski on RMF FM. - Yes, we have discussed it [with Lewica], they are interested in this project, yes, I am not prejudging, of course - he continued.

08:58

Zgorzelski:

It's not out of the question that one element of raising the idea of falsified elections is maintaining an angry electorate
- There is a theory that, based on the idea or the notion that the elections were falsified, the electorate on the other side, other than Law and Justice, is being hardened - said Piotr Zgorzelski on RMF FM. - I believe that, of course, Roman Giertych is not Antoni Macierewicz, but also [...] in my opinion, it is not out of the question that one of the elements of raising the idea of falsified elections may be to maintain an electorate that is angry that the president is not Rafał Trzaskowski, but Karol Nawrocki - he continued.

09:07

Mastalerek on the Wind Farm Act:

The President Will Not Be Blackmailed. It is Unacceptable to Him.
"Certainly, the President will not be blackmailed, because this is a political trick. There is the [wind farm] act, which is unacceptable to the President, we add one paragraph that is good for citizens [regarding energy price freezes] and we say: you must sign it. The President will not be blackmailed" - said Marcin Mastalerek in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

09:10

Zgorzelski:

I Don't Trust the Extraordinary Control Chamber of the Supreme Court. The Prosecutor General Should Participate in All Its Actions Regarding Protests
- We have proposed that for all those who believe this court is not recognized by European tribunals, because it is not recognized, the prosecutor should participate in every action related to protests, and this is permitted by law - said Piotr Zgorzelski on RMF FM. - Regarding the level of the Extraordinary Control Chamber, for there to be a Prosecutor General, I would even say that the Minister of Justice himself should personally participate. But let's also remember that all these voices and protests are not actually counted in the Supreme Court, as Manowska claims, that they are so busy that she even has to bake pastries, right, even cakes. The Supreme Court is outsourcing to the district court in city X... - he continued. - For all those who do not believe in the integrity of this chamber, I also do not believe, and therefore I think there should be a prosecutor who will prepare a report and tell the other side precisely [...] listen, this chamber, although we do not recognize it due to the rulings of the CJEU, has led to a review of these protocols... - he went on to say. - In my opinion, if we agreed to the recounting of votes, then [...] recounting votes would become a permanent part of the process of every election - he added.

09:18

Zgorzelski on Hołownia and Czarzasty:

If you're a party leader, get into government, become Deputy Prime Minister, and get to work.
- I will tell you my own, authorial idea for this coalition to be able to work together better... it should also intensify and change its way of operating. [...] The remaining political party leaders should be in government, as Deputy Prime Ministers, with good ministries, and get to work - said Piotr Zgorzelski on RMF FM. - Of course [Szymon Hołownia as Deputy Prime Minister], let the gentlemen agree [which ministry for whom] and Włodzimierz Czarzasty, the leader of Lewica, you are the leader, so get into government, become Deputy Prime Minister - he continued. - I believe that party leaders, to give new life to this coalition, should be in government - he went on to say.

09:26

Bosak:

A One-Time Payment for a Pole's Space Flight Doesn't Change Our Technological or Strategic Situation. It's Money Burned for PR Purposes
- I believe that if there were several hundred million [zloty] available and someone wanted to direct it towards supporting Poles' involvement in the space industry, it should have been directed to the space industry sector in Poland. This would allow for co-financing the implementation activities of satellite manufacturing companies, so we would have more satellites, more developing projects - said Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "Sedno sprawy" (The Heart of the Matter). - We have a lot of companies in Poland that are doing something in this area, but they lack funds. The budget of the Polish Space Agency is very small. [...] Spending a one-time sum on a Pole's participation in a crewed space mission does not in any way change our technological or strategic situation - he stated. In his opinion: - This is simply money burned for purposes that are largely PR-related.

09:36

Nawrocki Might Emerge Even Stronger in the End. Bosak on Recounting Votes in Some Commissions
- I think everyone who believed parties like Lewica, PSL, PO, or Polska 2050 at the time has a right to feel cheated. Because they were promised order in the state, respect for the rules, and they got the opposite, and we're seeing it right now – Krzysztof Bosak said on Radio Plus’s “Sedno Sprawy” (The Gist of the Matter). - I must mention that although I don't like all this rhetoric of suspicion, propaganda, and destabilizing social moods, it's good that the Supreme Court – precisely the chamber these people dislike – is reviewing all these electoral protests one by one, ordering recounts in various locations – he continued. - It is interesting and telling that where these votes have been recounted, in many places already, it turned out that the results were miscalculated, but to the detriment of Karol Nawrocki. […] I think that in the end, Karol Nawrocki might emerge even stronger after all this result checking – he stated.

09:55

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

If the Left wants a Speaker, they must give up a Deputy Prime Minister
- If the Left wants a Speaker, they must give up a Deputy Prime Minister. A club of 21 MPs cannot have both a Deputy Prime Minister and a Speaker, when a club of 32 MPs will have neither. Voters cast their ballots, and this vote must be reflected in the strength of governance. This is an obvious truth and a principle of democracy – stated Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Radio ZET.

09:56

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Poland 2050:

I Don't See a Government Plan; We Are the Only Ones in the Coalition Who Have Done Our Homework.
- We are putting substantive matters on the line, we are truly putting them on the line and saying: it's 4 weeks after the election, and the government should have a plan, should have clear determination for change and action. I don't see it [the plan]. We, as Poland 2050, were the only ones in the entire coalition to humbly accept the election results and do our homework. We have identified the 5 most important things to be implemented, of which 4 are in the coalition agreement – said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Radio ZET.

09:58

Bosak:

We Demand Siemoniak's Dismissal. Border Guards Are Forced to Implement Policies Contradictory to Our State's Interests
- Border Guard officers are currently being forced to implement policies that have nothing to do with the interests of our state - said Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" (The Essence of the Matter). - What Germany is doing are not readmissions. They claim these are so-called border turnbacks. With readmissions, there is some document check, and our state has the possibility to refuse. But with so-called entry refusal or border turnbacks, there is no possibility for our state to not comply. The only exception is a physical one: if we don't accept these people. And the government is not utilizing this option - he pointed out. - This is deeply contradictory to the interests of our state, which is why we want Minister Siemoniak dismissed. We do not want our cities to become encampments for Africans that Germany has gotten rid of and did not want to keep, and who did not want to live in Poland - he continued. As he went on: - They have nothing in common with our country, they don't know the language, they don't want to work here. And we are already incurring the costs of their accommodation and healthcare, and this is heading in a very unpleasant direction.

09:58

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Domański's Tax Proposal:

It's Less Effective Than a Windfall Tax.
What Minister Domański is proposing, in my opinion, is less effective than a windfall tax, meaning a tax on that manna from heaven, because Minister Domański's proposal will yield less money and will not incentivize banks as much towards development-oriented activities, towards good credit actions that will drive Poland's development. Today, we truly need greater investment in the private sector and the growth of Polish private companies – stated Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Radio ZET.

09:59

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Respecting Election Results:

I Entered Politics to Defend Democracy, and No Situation Will Turn Me Away From This Path.
For me, decency means respecting the democratic will of the people, the vote they cast. Regardless of my preference – and I voted for Rafał Trzaskowski – I feel defeated in these elections. However, regardless of our preferences, I entered politics to defend Polish democracy, and no situation will turn me away from this path. Democracy means respecting people's votes; for me, that is absolutely the most important thing – Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on Radio ZET. Every vote, if there is any suspicion that it was indeed miscounted, that someone voted for one candidate but was counted for another, must be checked. Moreover, the prosecution must investigate whether it was an error and an oversight, which is also punishable, or whether it was an intentional crime, and draw conclusions from it, unequivocally – she added.

10:00

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

If This Coalition Distracts from the Essence, We'll Conclude Poland 2050's Purpose Has Been Exhausted
- If it turns out that this coalition, for which our purpose is the realization of certain things, instead of realizing those things, will be throwing a spanner in the works and distracting attention with talk of positions and multi-week reconstructions, then at some point we will conclude that the purpose of our presence in the coalition has been exhausted – said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Radio ZET.

10:02

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Nawrocki's Victory:

If it costs me my seat, I don't care, I will speak the truth.
- I've already stated that I don't like Mr. Giertych's posts, that's the most delicate way I can put it. For me, democracy is what matters, that is a value for me – stated Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Radio ZET. - Whatever people may think, I truly, and Polska 2050, we came to power and into politics in general as a new formation to defend and build democracy in Poland. If speaking the truth costs me my seat, I don't care, I will speak the truth – she continued. Pełczyńska-Nałęcz: Nothing indicates the result could be different - If Silni Razem attacks me on Twitter, I don't care, because I am stating the facts as they are, and every vote must be respected, that's beyond doubt, but all reliable statistics from electoral statistics experts, available online, published, show that today there is no indication, and nothing suggests that the result could be different – she went on to say.

10:24

Ziobro Again Fails to Appear Before Pegasus Commission; Order for Compulsory Attendance to be Filed
Zbigniew Ziobro has once again failed to appear before the Sejm parliamentary committee investigating the Pegasus spyware. This marked the eighth attempt to question the former Minister of Justice in the PiS government. The committee voted to submit a motion to the Sejm requesting the revocation of Ziobro's immunity and to ask the court to order his arrest and compulsory attendance before the committee. A proposal to ask the court to impose a fine of PLN 3,000 on Ziobro also secured a majority.

"Concrete Results Can Be Measured in Money, Decisions, and Regulations." Tusk Responds to Accusations of an "Asymptomatic Presidency"
- I knew that everything said at our various meetings, press conferences by EU representatives, these very positive assessments of the Polish presidency, would be used domestically by the opposition as an argument against us. I am truly experienced enough to know that if the head of the EC speaks well of our actions, for PiS it will always be a sign: “Ah, something is wrong here, because we know who Ms. Ursula is and how sinister these European institutions are.” - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference in Brussels. - We have hard data on very concrete results. I don't even know how to respond to the phrasing that the presidency was “asymptomatic.” Usually, only sick people have symptoms, and that's why I won't torment the authors of these not-so-apt comparisons here. For me, symptoms are not important, but the results are. We have talked about these results, and we will write about them - he continued. - If this were propaganda, you would easily verify it. And yet, you have everything laid out on a platter, what we have managed to achieve. And this can be measured in money, decisions, specific regulations, and legislative initiatives - the head of government asserted. - Especially those who work here on the ground know very well how much Poland's position has grown, how much everyone without exception takes Poland into account. And in categories like security, migration, deregulation, Poland has truly become a leading country, a leader in these matters - he indicated. - Neither Kaczyński, nor I don't know who else is shouting, can drown this out, but there's never a shortage of them - he added.

11:49

Tusk:

I Cannot Say We Have a Majority to Potentially Deeply Correct or Block Certain Provisions of the EU-Mercosur Agreement
- We have concerns, of course, and Poland is very firm on these issues. We have France alongside us on this matter, but at this moment, I certainly cannot say that we have a majority to potentially deeply correct or block certain provisions of Mercosur - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference. - I and my team are fixing things and moving matters forward with concrete actions. We are fixing what has either fallen apart, was ill-conceived, or was conscious sabotage, as done by PiS - he continued. - What we are doing as the presidency is persuading our partners to seek the kind of safeguards that we secured in the case of trade relations with Ukraine. Because this is exactly the same case - he went on to say. - Regarding Mercosur, we will be seeking ways, not only with the French, to ensure that the mechanisms currently in Mercosur, which are currently vague, that are meant to protect against market imbalances [...] we will continue to refine this. Of course, we will be seeking a majority, but again, we will try to fix what PiS mindlessly signed, mindlessly or in bad faith, it doesn't matter - he added.

11:52

Tusk:

Polish Presidency Made Partners Realize EU Must Consider Its Defense Capabilities
- 'The Polish presidency has also made all our partners realize that the time has come when the European Union, or Europe as such, must start thinking about itself in terms of defense capabilities, territorial control, border control, that the world has not fully embraced our visions and dreams, meaning that we will all be beneficiaries of free trade, globalization, open borders, and full access to asylum' – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

11:53

Tusk:

Europe's task today is not to save the whole world
- Today, Europe's task is not to save the whole world. Europe must take responsibility for itself, for its interests, for its security, not for the whole world, because this world does not necessarily want to be as Europe might dream it to be – Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference. - This dose of healthy egoism, this dose of awareness that our interests sometimes conflict with the interests of powers from other continents, has done us all good, and I am glad that various Polish concepts, for example, the energy union, have become a reality today – he added.

11:55

Tusk on the Need for Judicial Reform:

A Long Road Ahead, But My Determination is Greater Than on October 15, 2023.
Nothing has changed regarding the awareness of the goal, the awareness of the tasks that await us in connection with the need to repair Polish democracy, the Polish state, and Polish institutions. I was also convinced that this task might be simpler, especially if we had won the presidential election. Part of this repair requires legislative changes. It is very difficult to function in a democracy that has so many built-in destructions – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

For 8 years, this traditional form of democracy with stable institutions that inspire trust from the entire state and all citizens, not just a part of it, was being destroyed. It is easier to demolish, easier to devastate, than to rebuild. We still have a really long road ahead of us, and it will not be strewn with roses. I want you to know that at least my determination has not changed; in fact, it is greater than on October 15, 2023 – he continued.

11:58

Tusk on Examining Doubts Regarding the Elections:

Not to Undermine the Result.
I would like every hour, every day until the final decisions are made, to be used to verify every questionable situation. As I have been saying from the first hours after the elections, not to undermine the election result, but so that all Polish women and all Polish men, who have the right to do so, can be certain that the elected president was chosen correctly and that no vote was disregarded – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

11:59

Tusk:

In my assessment, it is unlikely that the scale of irregularities will fundamentally distort the election results
- According to what we know, this information flows from thousands of protests, but also from the communication of the Supreme Court's chamber, which dealt with some protests today. It is known that the election results are not precisely known, down to the last vote. The chamber also admitted this - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference in Brussels. - All state institutions that have constitutional and legal possibilities should do everything to ensure that every irregularity – I avoid the word 'fraud,' because it is true that irregularities have occurred in all previous elections – but only by verifying all irregularities will we be convinced that these irregularities did not influence the election results - he continued. As the Prime Minister indicated: - If you ask me for my assessment, not a decision, because it is not the government that makes the decision, but my assessment, it seems unlikely that the scale of irregularities will fundamentally distort the election results. This is my assessment, but decisions should not be based on my assessment or impressions.

11:59

Tusk on the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs:

We Have a Problem, and I Won't Solve It Today.
- We have a problem, I won't solve this problem today, we have a problem that the institutions which issue such a formal assessment of election validity are not recognized as legal by this democratic side, but also by, for example, European tribunals – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

12:06

Żukowska Accuses Pełczyńska-Nałęcz of Undermining Coalition Agreement:

Keep Your Distance From Our Positions, or You'll Be Left With Nothing.
Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, Minister of Funds and Regional Policy from Poland 2050, stated on the program "Guest of Radio Zet" this morning that the 21-member parliamentary club (the Left) cannot have a Deputy Prime Minister and a Marshal when the 32-member club (Poland 2050) will not have either. Anna Maria Żukowska responded to this statement on X. "Well, yes, they can. Because without this club, Szymon Hołownia would not have become Marshal, and Donald Tusk would not have become Prime Minister. I have nothing against you becoming Deputy Prime Minister. But please, keep your distance from our positions, because you will be left with nothing, you are not even a Member of Parliament. Perhaps you will finally start implementing the coalition agreement instead of breaking it?" - wrote the chairwoman of the Left's parliamentary club.

12:17

Tusk:

I'm not surprised by the emotions, but as Prime Minister, my job is to ensure no emotions negatively impact the functioning of the state
- In politics, it's often the case that even if emotions are black and white, like today's protesters on both sides [in front of the Supreme Court]... I absolutely understand the protesters against the clear reluctance of a part of the Supreme Court to thoroughly examine these elections - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Brussels. - By the way, you've probably all heard: Judge Manowska saying, 'Why should she check these election results precisely, so that what, so that someone wins who will want to dismiss her?'. I'm quoting from memory, but it makes your hair stand on end and I'm not surprised people are wondering: what's going on? We have a Supreme Court that is supposed to be the guardian of full reliability and neutrality, and suddenly the head of this court is publicly saying such things - he continued. - So, I'm not surprised by the emotions. But my job as the Prime Minister of the Polish government is to ensure that no emotions, however justified, negatively impact the functioning of the state - he emphasized.

12:24

Tusk:

If Marshal Hołownia convenes the National Assembly, I wouldn't want it to end in a quarrel or boycott
- If Marshal Hołownia convenes the National Assembly for the presidential inauguration, I wouldn't want it to end in a quarrel or boycott. It's a difficult situation, but I respect the Marshal's constitutional authority in this matter – Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference in Brussels. - It is also very important for me to maintain unity and cooperation among all components of the October 15th Coalition at this politically difficult moment. I don't need to explain to anyone how important this is, and therefore I will patiently talk with all partners here, so that there is no threat to the durability of this coalition – he continued.

12:41

Tusk on Kosiniak-Kamysz’s Meeting with Nawrocki:

I See No Problem.
- Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz and I are not suitors, so this cold shoulder is rather unfortunate - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Brussels, referring to Marcin Mastalerek’s morning statement. Posed about yesterday's meeting between Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Karol Nawrocki, he assessed: - I see no problem. Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz is the Minister of National Defence, he assumes that the president-elect will be the future president. And as you know, his ministry is in a special situation. Many decisions made by the Minister of National Defence require arrangements with the president, whoever they may be. - I am not surprised that Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, as the Minister of National Defence, wants to prepare for this next phase of his activity in this way. I have no complaints about it - he stated.

12:44

Tusk:

No immediate plans for a meeting with Nawrocki
- No - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Brussels, when asked by journalists if he planned to meet with Karol Nawrocki in the near future.

14:34

Czarnek on Uznańska-Wiśniewska:

I Like Her and Her Way of Being.
- I am happy [about Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski's flight into space]. This is a success for Poland, and I don't see it in political terms. I think Mr. Uznański also doesn't see it in political terms. We are all happy about this, and let it be that way, let's not look at it from a party perspective - said Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel "Otwarta Konserwa". - I must also surprise you, because I also look at Mrs. Uznańska-Wiśniewska through the prism of our astronaut, the first since... I really like Mrs. Wiśniewska, her way of being. She is, of course, a party competitor, but given this whole occasion and her husband's mission to space, she is behaving well indeed - he assessed.

14:41

Czarnek:

I will be one of Nawrocki's closest collaborators – regardless of whether I am in the Chancellery or still in the Sejm
- I can assure you of one thing – that regardless of whether I am in President Nawrocki's Chancellery or remain in the opposition benches in the Sejm, I will be one of President's closest collaborators, because we really like each other. We have so-called chemistry between us and we're on the same wavelength – said Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel “Otwarta Konserwa”. - I cannot imagine not supporting the President after the election campaign, in which I also put in a lot of work, and I told the President that – he added. - Whatever decision he makes – that is his affair. Regardless of his decision, I will be the President's closest collaborator, also from the parliamentary benches – he emphasized.

15:01

Czarnek:

I'm Convincing Chairman Kaczyński that as long as he has the strength, he should lead the party
- After Karol Nawrocki's victory, a huge window to the world opens up, and we simply have to go through that window – and the entire party must go through it as a unified whole. Today, no one else can ensure this unity for this large grouping. It's also very diverse, because we have different people – I am seen as on the legal wing, but there are people on the left wing, and yet we are friends – said Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel “Otwarta Konserwa”. - Chairman Jarosław Kaczyński binds this friendship together. And that is why I am also convincing the Chairman that as long as he has the strength – and may he have another 50 years of strength – he should lead the party, because he guarantees unity – he stated. - And today, more than ever, this unity is important, because on the horizon, and very close at that, looms the possibility of regaining power. Either independently, or in a coalition with other groupings. But to regain power, unity must be maintained – and only Jarosław Kaczyński will ensure this – he indicated.

15:26

President-elect's spokesperson on the participation of heads of state in the inauguration:

There is no such custom.
"Intensive preparations are underway for the inauguration of President Karol Nawrocki on August 6th. It will be a celebration of Polish democracy. There is no custom for heads of other states to participate, beyond the diplomatic corps accredited in Poland" – Rafał Leśkiewicz wrote on X.

15:27

Czarnek:

The New President's Primary Task - To Bring About the Swift Collapse of This Harmful Government
- There is no discussion with the United States. Today, when you look at Sikorski, who is sending Klich to the USA, who cannot be received in the White House offices because he insulted this White House. They are no longer just insulting Trump supporters; they are insulting, Giertych is insulting the USA with his posts, and the entire American nation - said Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel “Otwarta Konserwa”. - So today, in a situation where there is indeed a huge external and internal threat concerning security, including migration, if we, as a government, are unable to cooperate with our most important ally, then the primary task of the new President of the Republic of Poland will be to bring about the swift collapse of this harmful government. Simple - he emphasized. - Of course [this is the goal of this presidency]. The goal of the presidency is to make Poland a safe, prosperous, and developing country. This cannot be achieved with Tusk's government - he added.

Ensuring Women's Safety After Dark Isn't About Supporting PO or PiS. Czarnek on Nawrocki's Presidency
- If in Hamburg, after dark, in the city center, a young woman, who could be my or your daughter, can no longer go out to the store alone because she fears an attack from illegal migrants, then the issue of whether we will ensure the safety of every woman after dark in Poland, in Warsaw, is not a matter of whether someone supports PO or PiS, but an issue of the security of the citizens of the Republic of Poland – stated Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel “Otwarta Konserwa”. - In this sense, President Karol Nawrocki will ensure this security for all Poles; he will be the president of all Poles. This does not mean he will agree on every matter with someone who harms Poland, and that includes Tusk, Siemoniak, Sikorski, Bodnar, and almost every member of this government – he continued.

Czarnek:

How Can One Cooperate with a Government That Lets Illegal Migrants into Poland?
- This is not a matter of whether we want to or not. We want to cooperate, but how can one cooperate with a government that, as we see in the videos, simply lets illegal migrants into Poland without securing the border? – stated Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel „Otwarta Konserwa”.

16:31

Czarnek:

Nawrocki Intends to Fulfill Every Promise from the Warsaw Program Convention
- The President announced his “Plan 21” during his election campaign, and this “Plan 21” must be based on legislative initiative from the President. I know that this initiative is being prepared in a very massive way. The President does not intend to fail to implement a single promise from what he presented at the program convention in Warsaw – stated Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel “Otwarta Konserwa”.

16:33

Czarnek:

Not Even Post-Communists Violated the Rule of Law in the Third Republic Like This Government Does
- Regarding this constitutional reset, there are two aspects: one fundamental and one current. I'll start with the current one. Nobody in the history of the Third Polish Republic, not even post-communists, direct communist secretaries, has violated the rule of law like this government is doing. Consequently, a reset is necessary to restore elementary justice and the sense of justice – said Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel “Otwarta Konserwa”. - A reset in fundamental matters is necessary because this constitution, although it has many good features, is an absolutely scandalous constitution. It was written, in terms of the system of government, first against Wałęsa, and later for Kwaśniewski, and we have ended up stuck in the middle – he continued.

16:35

Czarnek on the proposal to amend the constitution:

He has a chance as the first president since 1997 to achieve a constitutional majority.
I spoke about this yesterday with the President, I can reveal this, with President Karol Nawrocki, saying that he has a chance, as the first president in the history of the Republic of Poland, to achieve a constitutional majority in the Sejm in the short term, perhaps two years, maybe sooner, likely a new one, not the current one, the first in history, since 1997, which will be able to heal the constitutional system of the Republic of Poland, because in the area of executive power and the system of government, there is complete dysfunction – stated Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel “Otwarta Konserwa”.

16:36

Czarnek on the Common Stance of PiS and PSL on Fundamental Issues:

I Know My Friends from the PSL – They Are Patriots.
- I know my friends from the PSL. We have different approaches to many matters, but on one thing I can be sure – they are patriots and they are people who, when we talk about fundamental issues, we have the same opinion on many, many topics – said Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel "Otwarta Konserwa". - When it comes to fundamental issues, I am convinced that I can count on my friends from the PSL, on Piotr Zgorzelski. I don't know Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, but I think one can also count on him, on Marshal Sawicki – he added.

16:37

Czarnek on Giertych:

He must disappear from Polish politics because he is a madman.
- This is a man who is setting Poland ablaze simply because he wants to avoid responsibility for things he did in the past. We all know what they are, Wirtualna Polska writes about it. This is a man who, in the name of his own private interests, is capable of causing any kind of uproar in Poland, and I know he is even disliked within PO itself, because nobody talks to him, neither in the parliamentary corridor nor in the Sejm – stated Przemysław Czarnek on the YouTube channel „Otwarta Konserwa”. - This is a man that even PO is ashamed of, whom Tusk is afraid of. This is a man who must disappear from Polish politics because he is a madman – he added.

16:51

Płaczek on the National Assembly on August 6th:

Such a Date Appears on Our Parliamentary Calendar.
- At this moment, looking from a Member of Parliament's perspective, if we look at the parliamentary calendar and pull up information about upcoming Sejm (Polish Parliament) events, such a date and such a day appears directly in our calendar - Grzegorz Płaczek stated in "Popołudniowa rozmowa" (Afternoon Conversation) on PR24, when asked whether Szymon Hołownia would convene the National Assembly for August 6th.

16:56

Płaczek:

The Current Political Spectacle is a Game to Undermine the President's Authority
- The goal of the current political spectacle is to build a narrative that when Karol Nawrocki is officially inaugurated as president, any difficult moments, when a bill is not signed by the president, Prime Minister Tusk will certainly appear at the podium - Grzegorz Płaczek said on PR24. - He will say: look, Poles, we couldn't implement changes because the president doesn't want them, but we are talking about this president who deceived, so this is nothing other than a game to weaken the president's significance, which from my point of view, regardless of who the president is, is a harmful action - he continued.

Konfederacja Banking on Presidential Palace Seats? Płaczek: Absolutely Not
- Absolutely not, we are counting on finally managing to remove the current government from power in a few years, meaning in about two years, and we are doing everything to increase the number of our MPs in parliament in the next term - said Grzegorz Płaczek on PR24, when asked if Konfederacja was counting on any seats in the Presidential Palace alongside Karol Nawrocki.

17:08

Płaczek on the IBRiS Poll Results:

We Can Consider What Reforms We Will Introduce First When We Come to Power.
- We are aware that these polls may deviate from actual election results; this is a consequence and effect of the recent presidential elections - Grzegorz Płaczek told PR24 when asked about the results of the IBRiS poll, in which, among others, Civic Coalition (KO) lost over 7 percentage points compared to the previous survey, and Confederation garnered over 16%.

- This is a certain forecast, and it is certainly also information for Confederation of the Polish Crown, as well as for Poland 2050, and for the Polish People's Party, that it will be difficult for them to enter the Polish parliament - he continued.

- For us, for Confederation, this is a forecast that we can truly look to the future and begin to consider what reforms we will introduce first when, I deeply believe, we come to power - he further stated.

MSWiA Pretends There's No Problem. Siemoniak Should Resign." Płaczka on Events with Migrants at the Polish-German Border
- Very scandalous situations are occurring at the Polish-German border, we are aware of this, our MPs are conducting parliamentary interventions, and it's not just MPs from our party - Grzegorz Płaczka said in PR24, when asked why Konfederacja is demanding the resignation of Minister Tomasz Siemoniak. - While we expected a signal or reliable, truthful information from the Ministry of Interior and Administration (MSWiA) that something is happening incorrectly, that migrants are uncontrollably entering Poland with the support of German services, MSWiA is remaining silent and pretending the problem doesn't exist - he continued. - The problem exists; if we don't say "stop" and solve this problem, it will soon be really difficult to control the security of Polish families, and we believe that this type of shameful behavior is one of the reasons why Minister Siemoniak should resign - he added.

Has He Completely Handed Over the Reins to 'Silni Razem'?
It turns out there are no limits to disgrace. Mr. Adam Bodnar, could you at least exercise minimal control over the social media of the forcibly taken-over National Prosecutor's Office? Have you completely handed over the reins to 'Silni Razem'? - Jacek Sasin wrote on social media.

20:50

Bodnar on the Supreme Court's Extraordinary Control Chamber:

It Shouldn't Rule on Election Validity.
- I believe that the Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Chamber should not rule on election validity matters at all. This chamber does not meet the criterion of a court within the constitutional understanding, within the understanding of EU law, and from the very beginning, I have advocated for the Chamber of Labor and Social Insurance to handle electoral matters, or ideally, for the President to sign an incidental act that would transfer the resolution of all these disputes to a panel of the 15 longest-serving judges of the Supreme Court – stated Adam Bodnar in the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

20:51

Bodnar:

Chamber of Extraordinary Control does not take these protests seriously; only 400 have reached the prosecutor's office
- I think that on a statistical level, it can be indicated that the [Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs] does not treat these protests as seriously as it should. It cannot be the case that there are 56,000 protests, because that is the number the First President mentioned, and only about 400 protests have been forwarded to the prosecutor's office, which is 0.6% – said Adam Bodnar in Polsat News. - I think that here the constitutional right to protest and its actual recognition has not been realized, and I do not know if it will be realized if the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs intends to rule as early as July 1 and issue its final ruling in this matter – he added.

20:52

Bodnar on Death Threats Against Nawrocki:

An Absolute Scandal, Such Situations Should Require Immediate State Reaction.
- This is an absolute scandal. Any such situation, like criminal threats, threatening anyone with death, should require an immediate reaction from the state. I found out today that such information has emerged. I can even promise that immediately after the program, I will contact Minister Siemoniak to find out what the police, what the services are doing in this matter. It is an absolute priority for the state to react immediately towards any public figure – said Adam Bodnar on Polsat News.

20:54

Bodnar:

Accusation of election fraud is far-reaching; I will be the last person to formulate it
- The word 'fraud' or any such accusation is very far-reaching. I will be the last person to formulate such accusations. However, my duty as a person who, in the name of public interest, is to ensure that citizens' rights are duly represented – I mean my role as the Prosecutor General – is to verify all irregularities. There were many such irregularities, and what's more, many of them have been confirmed – stated Adam Bodnar in Polsat News.
