Bodnar on Hołownia’s Decision:

I understand that this is what he is primarily guided by.
- I think that Mr. Speaker [Szymon Hołownia] has already said what he intends to do, he has already made a decision [regarding the National Assembly]. I think that the procedure for swearing in the president consists of two stages - stated Adam Bodnar in the program “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24. - One is, however, the ruling of the Supreme Court, and the second is the swearing-in before the National Assembly. We have significant doubts about this ruling after yesterday, not only because the Chamber of Extraordinary Review and Public Affairs ruled, but also due to the numerous irregularities that emerged during the consideration of electoral protests, and also during the Supreme Court session itself - said the Minister of Justice. - We also have a constitutional principle that states the presumption of election validity. As I understand it, this is what the Speaker is primarily guided by - he continued.

08:07

"Not Everything Was As It Should Be." Bodnar on the "Crisis of Legitimacy of Presidential Power"
- I think that for some time now, the question was on the table, and perhaps still is, about the possibility of calling on the president to sign an urgent incidental bill that would shift responsibility to the 15 longest-serving judges. He was unyielding [the president], unfortunately. As a result, we have this situation where even if the swearing-in does occur, it will be affected by this vision of a certain crisis of legitimacy of presidential power. Not everything was as it should be – stated Adam Bodnar in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

08:21

Bodnar:

National Prosecutor Issued Order to Proceed with Vote Recount
- To the best of my knowledge, yesterday Prosecutor Dariusz Korneluk, the National Prosecutor, issued an order to regional and district prosecutor's offices to proceed with this recount, and I think it will be a matter of the coming days, weeks. Certainly, yes [it will be done by August 6th] - stated Adam Bodnar in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

08:31

Szłapka:

The Priority is to Tackle Illegal Migration and Ensure the Tightness of the EU's External Borders
- All of us – us in Poland, in Germany, the European Commission, in Lithuania – should care that the most important thing is to deal with illegal migration in Europe. Therefore, the most important thing today is to ensure the full tightness of the European Union's external borders; this problem will simply free up Schengen for us – said Adam Szłapka in RMF FM's "Morning Interview".

08:37

Szłapka on the Ordinance Introducing Border Controls:

30 Days with the Option to Extend.
- We are introducing a solution, as has always been the case within the Schengen area, a temporary solution, an ordinance that is currently undergoing inter-ministerial consultations. I think it will be today or tomorrow [...] this ordinance introduces a 30-day period with the possibility of extension - said Adam Szłapka on RMF FM. - That is a question for the Minister of the Interior. We will see how effective it will be, how it will function, how it will work. We want these controls to be as least burdensome as possible for our citizens, but we must have control over who enters Poland from Germany - he continued, when asked if the ordinance would be extended.

08:48

Szłapka:

Those Breaking the Law Must Disappear from the Border. The Police Will Definitely Act.
- We are also dealing with lawbreaking here, because if someone impersonates officials, there is an article in the Penal Code for that [...] this matter absolutely must be resolved - Adam Szłapka told RMF FM when asked about the Border Defence Movement. - They must disappear [from the border], because if someone is standing somewhere a little further from the border and observing what is happening, that is not a problem, but if someone approaches and pretends to be a Border Guard officer, it means they are breaking the law - he continued. - If they act in such a way as to obstruct the actions of a Border Guard officer, it is a violation of the law, and if that person also insults an officer, it is also a violation of the law - he went on to say. - The police will definitely act in this matter, and all individuals who break the law there at the border and behave in a manner similar to Mr. Bąkiewicz, for example, must be held accountable - he added.

08:52

Szłapka:

No Government Member Questioned Election Results
- No member of the government, nor the Prime Minister himself, questioned the results of these elections. What was absolutely an issue to be verified and resolved, and which Minister Adam Bodnar, in his capacity as Prosecutor General, was dealing with [...] was to verify what irregularities occurred and to explain them. [...] This will of course still take time - said Adam Szłapka on RMF FM.

09:09

Sasin:

If Bodnar's Objections Were Taken Seriously, We'd Have to Say He's Not a Senator and Tusk's Government Doesn't Exist
- If we were to take Prosecutor Bodnar's objections seriously, we would have to say that he is not a senator, and Donald Tusk's government also does not exist. Mateusz Morawiecki's government still rules; I am not a former Deputy Prime Minister, but the current Deputy Prime Minister, because until the formation of a new government, the previous government holds this function - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Grzegorz Osiecki on "Sygnały dnia" PR1. - It was the same Chamber [Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Chamber of the Supreme Court] that ruled on the validity of the last parliamentary elections, based on which ruling Mr. Bodnar took his senatorial mandate. One of the judges rightly asked him yesterday if he felt like a neo-senator - he continued.

09:22

Sasin:

This Government Was Terribly Afraid of Nawrocki's Victory - And Rightly So
- This is currently an attempt to truly weaken the electoral mandate of President Karol Nawrocki. This government was terribly afraid of this victory - and rightly so, because President Nawrocki will certainly stand guard over the interests of Poles, the interests of Poland, and this government is squandering Poland's interests. So they are definitely afraid that they will have someone who will watch their every move - said Jacek Sasin on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

09:33

Sasin:

I am convinced the inauguration will take place on August 6th. But from this government, one can expect the worst.
- From this government, one can expect the worst, so I cannot say that I expect nothing. However, I am convinced that this inauguration ceremony on the 6th [of August] will take place. President Karol Nawrocki will assume the office of President of the Republic in accordance with the will of Poles expressed in free elections - said Jacek Sasin in "Signals of the Day" on PR1.

09:40

Schetyna:

Few Doubt Nawrocki Received More Votes Than Trzaskowski
- These are words that essentially capture the current state we are in - Grzegorz Schetyna said in an interview with Mariusz Piekarski on the TVP Info program "Gość Poranka," when asked about Szymon Hołownia's post: "There are doubts about the status of the Supreme Court's Chamber of Extraordinary Review. There are no doubts about whom Poles elected." - Few doubt that Karol Nawrocki indeed received more votes than Rafał Trzaskowski. This is common knowledge, as the difference is quite significant, nearly 370,000. These doubts concern a few thousand votes, so they don't make a difference - he continued. - However, the very method of legitimizing, recognizing these elections, the functioning of the extraordinary chamber, all of this politically cries out for condemnation, because it is simply part of turning the rule of law and law upside down in Poland - he went on to say.

09:40

Sasin praises Hołownia:

He didn't let himself be used as Tusk's puppet in an attempted coup.
- I also want to express my appreciation for Marshal Hołownia for his pro-state attitude. He did not allow himself to be used as a puppet in the hands of Donald Tusk in his attempt to carry out a coup d'état in Poland. I think we can all be pleased with the Marshal's stance - said Jacek Sasin on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

10:09

Nawrocki to Present BBN Leadership. A Date is Set
- Tomorrow at 10:30 AM, President-elect Karol Nawrocki will introduce the individuals who will assume leadership positions in the National Security Bureau - announced Rafał Leśkiewicz, the future spokesperson for President Karol Nawrocki.

10:34

Morawiecki on Germany's need to pay its bills:

This is the complete collapse of Polish diplomacy.
In Berlin, a spectacle of absurdity was staged. The Polish Minister of Culture participated in the unveiling of a stone of shame in Berlin. Once again, the Polish authorities are participating in German historical policy - stated Mateusz Morawiecki in a recording published on social media. - I remind you that no high-ranking German politician has ever visited the branch of the Pilecki Institute in Berlin, and representatives of the Polish government have never been allowed to work together on commemorating Polish victims in Berlin. And now they are again carrying out German orders - said the former prime minister. - This is the complete collapse of Polish diplomacy. Instead of real demands, reparations, flowers were laid under the stone by the minister in sneakers. This is not a dignified commemoration of Polish victims. It is a grotesque. No Polish politician should bow before a stone until Germany kneels before the truth and pays the bills for its crimes - he emphasized.

12:46

Kosiniak-Kamysz on the Transfer of PLN 2.4 Billion for the Construction of Ammunition Factories:

A Wonderful Day for the Polish Armaments Industry.
- Today is a wonderful day of good news for the Polish army, for our armaments industry, for the security of our homeland, for the building of a great, strong, independent Poland. This is a great day because a few dozen minutes ago, the Ministry of State Assets, following the act [...] on the transfer of funds for the construction of ammunition factories in Poland, today Minister Jaworowski, as the Minister of State Assets, transferred PLN 2.4 billion to four companies of the Polish Armaments Group for the construction of ammunition factories - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference. As he indicated: - Something that was impossible for years, due to the incompetence of those who were responsible for it before, has become a fact. This would not have happened without the Ministry of National Defence, because a large portion of the money that went into the Capital Investment Fund came, under the act, from the Ministry of National Defence’s funds, funds for defence.

13:17

Deal for 180 Korean Tanks Nears Completion. Ministry of National Defence Details and First Deliveries
- The agreement for the acquisition of K2 tanks in a polonized version, a portion of which will be produced in Poland with the involvement of the Polish defense industry. Along with a full logistics support package, support vehicles, a service agreement, training, logistics, and all components related to ammunition and armament […]. This is a significant undertaking, one of the largest execution contracts in history, which will soon be signed in Poland with the participation of the Korean Minister of Defence - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference. Signing of the Agreement After Election of New Korean Defence Minister - Today, we wanted to inform you that we are concluding the negotiation phase and will be signing the agreement shortly. We are ready to sign it right now, but out of respect for our partners from the Republic of Korea, where the selection and appointment of a new Minister of Defence is underway, […] this process is complex and multi-stage. We respect all these procedures and want to finalize it with the new Minister of Defence - he noted. 180 Tanks, 80 Accompanying Vehicles, and a Full Package. “Rectifying Mistakes of Our Predecessors” As the head of the Ministry of National Defence indicated: - The agreement will cover 180 tanks, 80 accompanying vehicles, and a full package that has never been included in previous K2 tank contracts. I am specifically referring to support vehicles and accompanying vehicles, which form a direct part of the infrastructure. - This is about rectifying mistakes we inherited from our predecessors, addressing the shortcomings that were left behind, because the first execution agreement concluded by the previous government simply did not include this. It was not taken into account - he added. Over 60 Tanks in a Polonized Version - These negotiations required time to make the polonized version feasible. […] Out of these 180 tanks, over 60 will already be in the polonized version. […] The primary partner on the Polish side, within the PGZ group, will be the company Bumar Łabędy. This is an important investment for this company, which will regain its vitality thanks to this - he continued. First Tanks in 2026 Meanwhile, Deputy Minister of National Defence Paweł Bejda stated: - This year, we are completing the execution of this first executive contract for 180 tanks. Moreover, the Korean side is also accelerating the delivery of individual armament components and batches that have been negotiated, meaning we will complete deliveries by the end of 2025. […] From the agreement we will sign this year, from this second executive agreement, the first 30 tanks will arrive in Poland in 2026. - I want to emphasize that Poland becoming a producer of K2PL tanks opens doors for us throughout Europe and the entire NATO. We hope that the K2PL tanks will become an export success for the Polish manufacturer, Bumar Łabędy - added Bejda.

13:36

Tusk and the Government Are Not Responding Adequately to the Migration Crisis. PiS MPs Launch Inspections at Border Guard Facilities
- We are starting with a conversation with Border Guard representatives, and shortly we will enter here, the Border Guard facility. Why these inspections? Because we feel obliged to ensure the security of our homeland, Poland, and because we critically assess Donald Tusk's government and its inertia in ensuring security by the December 13th coalition, which Donald Tusk leads - Mariusz Błaszczak said at a press conference. - This is because Poland is currently experiencing a migration crisis caused by the actions of German services, by the German side, our German neighbor, and Donald Tusk and his government are not responding adequately to this crisis - he continued.

Pawłowicz Departs the Constitutional Tribunal:

Acts of Hatred Negatively Affected My Health.
Krystyna Pawłowicz, a judge at the Constitutional Tribunal, has requested to be moved to a state of retirement after 6 years of her term. The General Assembly of Constitutional Tribunal Judges has passed a resolution on this matter, and Pawłowicz will cease to be a judge on December 5, 2025.

The judge published a statement, which reads:
“The aggression towards constitutional state institutions, including towards the Constitutional Tribunal, its President, judges, myself included, has created conditions that make it difficult or even impossible to perform the function of a Constitutional Tribunal judge entrusted to me by the democratically elected Sejm and the President of the Republic of Poland. This aggression also hinders normal functioning in private life.

For carrying out constitutional duties of defending and protecting the Polish Constitution, CT judges are delegitimized, intimidated, humiliated, and ridiculed. Their previous professional achievements are questioned. Their independence is undermined, and their families are intimidated and harassed.

These acts of hatred have unfortunately negatively affected my health, irreversibly worsening it. After 6 years, they have forced me to leave the office of a Constitutional Tribunal judge prematurely.

I have strived to perform this honorable function entrusted to me, in the name and for the good of the Republic of Poland, with all my strength.”

13:43

Błaszczak:

We Will Demand the Adoption of a Bill Banning "Engineers" from Entering Poland at the Next Sejm Session
- Today, we submitted a draft bill to the Sejm banning entry for citizens of specific countries. Which countries? Well, these are the countries from which the most "engineers" originate, those who are being brought across the western border from the territory of Germany. These countries should be specified in a Council of Ministers regulation - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference. - There is no time to wait, which is why at the Sejm session, which begins next Tuesday, we will demand that the draft bill, which we submitted today, be adopted by the Sejm - he continued.

13:50

Tusk:

The More Poland Regains Border Control, The Harder It's Attacked by PiS, Confederation, and Their Thugs
- The more the Polish state regains control of its borders, the more fiercely it is attacked by PiS, Confederation, and their thugs. First, they let in hundreds of thousands of migrants from Asia and Africa, profiting from visas, and now they are trying to paralyze our Border Guard. We will not allow this - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on social media.

13:51

"This Offer Still Stands': Błaszczak on a Technical Government
- When it comes to governments, who will rule Poland, that will be the effect of the parliamentary elections, which will take place no later than '27, perhaps they will take place earlier. After the presidential elections, Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński [...] made an offer for a technical, non-partisan government, a government of specialists, a government of people who will focus on stabilizing the situation in our country until the parliamentary elections. This offer still stands - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

13:53

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

I Remember Błaszczak Criticizing PO MPs and Activists at the Border. Today He Behaves Exactly Like Them
- Those who are not responsible for border security today should not interfere. I remember Minister Błaszczak's statements when there was an issue with the eastern border, how much he criticized PO MPs who came there with activists. He said: don't interfere. Today he behaves exactly like them then, he behaves in exactly the same destructive way – Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said at a press conference. - None of the PSL MPs were ever there, we did not interfere with the services. No one has ever said a bad word about a border guard, about the uniform of the Polish Army. So I have the right, even the duty, to tell Mr. Błaszczak to calm down. It really is unbecoming for him to behave like activists on the eastern or western border – he pointed out.

13:56

Błaszczak:

Our Ambition is to Achieve Over 40% Support, It's Possible
- We are ready to cooperate with anyone for whom Poland is most important. With anyone, with anyone we are ready to cooperate, and it will be Poles who decide on the future government in the parliamentary elections - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference, asked about potential cooperation between PiS and Konfederacja. - We are ambitious [...] our ambition is to achieve over 40% support, it is possible. It was like that in 2019, this is our goal. In general, we believe that one of the tasks that will face the future parliament will be to change the Constitution, and therefore a constitutional majority is also needed to fix everything related to the violations of the currently binding Constitution - he continued.

14:02

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

These won't be joint Polish-German patrols, but Polish controls. Our opponents are spouting nonsense
- I am in favor of temporary controls on the Polish-German and Polish-Lithuanian border [...] The nonsense that our opponents are spouting online, that these will be joint Polish-German patrols, is untrue – these will be Polish controls, on the Polish side - emphasized Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference. - Poland takes responsibility for them, that's why the entire support system has been launched, including for the Border Guard, to ensure effectiveness - he indicated.

14:06

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

No Activists Can Hinder Services at the Border
- Neither in the east nor in the west can any activists interfere with the work of the Border Guard, other services, and the army. The state is responsible for border security, and I have never consented to any actions by activists – whether in the east or in the west – that violate the dignity, honor, and reputation of a Polish Army soldier, a border guard, or a police officer, said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference. - Why can I say this? I voted for the barrier, I never spoke a bad word about a border guard, and I never ran around either one border or the other. It was senseless then when we were in opposition and some opposition MPs were doing it. And now it is just as stupid and senseless as when PiS MPs are doing it. It is simply stupid and senseless. Let them allow the police and the Border Guard to act, let them support the army, he continued.

14:54

Hołownia Sets Precise Date for National Assembly
- I will convene the National Assembly for August 6th at 10:00 AM, in order to enable the swearing-in of the president, Karol Nawrocki, elected by Poles on June 1st. Yesterday, the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court held a session, the status of which is rightly questioned and about which we have discussed numerous times - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

14:57

Hołownia Responds to Critics and Accuses Bodnar of Lack of Legislative Initiative:

I Was the Only Politician.
- However, I want to say that I was the only politician who, anticipating this trouble, tried to do something about it in the context of the presidential elections. I proposed an incidental act that was meant to resolve the entire dispute that was ongoing in Poland regarding the validity or invalidity of the presidential election - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference. - If someone today accuses me of behaving inappropriately in the matter of this chamber, let them first look to themselves and ask if any law has appeared in the Sejm over the last 1.5 years that would regulate the status of the Supreme Court and the Chamber of Extraordinary Review and Public Affairs. I have not received such a bill on my desk, neither from the Minister of Justice Adam Bodnar, nor from any other entity authorized to come up with similar solutions - he continued.

15:00

Błaszczak on How Services Should Act, in His Opinion:

Border Control Isn't the Best Solution.
- We do not want the problems that Western Europe has, in the form of threats, in the form of districts that the police do not enter, in the form of districts, cities that are uncontrolled by the authorities. We do not want this. To prevent this from happening [...] we must secure our border with Germany - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a rally in Słubice. - Migrants cannot be dumped onto Polish territory by German services; this cannot be agreed to. If the government agrees to this, Donald Tusk's government, it harms Poland. And it does agree, everything indicates that it does agree - he continued. - Border control is not the best solution; the best solution is the stance of the authorities, which should be different. Simply put, our services should not accept these people who are dumped by German services, simple, right? Simple, that's what Danish services do - he went on to say.

15:00

Presidential Elections Benefit from a Presumption of Validity. Hołownia Announces Publication of Legal Opinions
- In these unsettling times, Poland needs continuity of power, leadership over the Armed Forces, but also based on a deep conviction, supported by numerous legal opinions from eminent specialists, which will be presented to you in the coming days, who say directly – the Extraordinary Control Chamber is one thing, but presidential elections benefit from a presumption of their validity – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- They are valid, so in reality, the Extraordinary Control Chamber would only have significance if the invalidity of these elections were established – he continued.

15:04

Błaszczak:

We Must Return to the Referendum on Rejecting the Migration Pact
- What is our proposal, the proposal of Law and Justice, is to return to the referendum on rejecting the migration pact. I very much ask you, citizens, to sign the petition for a citizen-initiated referendum on rejecting the migration pact. This is the identical referendum that Tusk solemnly invalidated in 2023 - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a rally in Słubice.

- We must return to the referendum, then the nation will unambiguously state that it does not want this. It does not want these problems, these threats. And this will be pressure, it will force the government to adopt a different stance, at least formally - he continued.

15:06

The Most Radical Part of Civic Platform Speaks Purely Law and Justice," Hołownia on Polarization in Poland
  • This is a very serious matter, playing with the very heart of Polish democracy. With some astonishment, I admit, I observed the voices of those, primarily from the very radical wing of Civic Platform, who showed us what polarization truly is today. Polarization in Poland has reached its peak, given that the most radical part of Civic Platform speaks purely Law and Justice - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.
  • This is exactly what the plenary hall heard: Madam Speaker, we must repeat it, because we are losing. I will never, as long as I stand here, allow myself to be drawn into such logic, and I warn against it - he continued.

15:20

Hołownia:

We Must Eventually Decide on Appointing Constitutional Tribunal Judges
- My position here is that we need to start filling this tribunal. That at some point, we must decide to elect judges to the tribunal, under the current conditions, since the president does not want to cooperate and help heal this tribunal – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

15:23

Hołownia to Tusk Regarding the Reshuffle:

I Have an Urgent Appeal.
- I have an urgent appeal, let him [Donald Tusk] put forward something, let us finally see some plan, an idea, some vision, because we have been talking about this reshuffle for a very long time, and it is becoming like a golem from old Czech tales, a monster that no one has seen, but with each telling it grows and becomes more dominant and terrifying - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- We want to finally see some structure, in which direction we are heading. It's not about people, it's about structure, about what happens with the energy that is currently in four ministries - he continued.

17:07

The More Control Over Borders Was Regained, The More 'Engineers' Appeared on Polish Streets'. Morawiecki Comments on Tusk's Post
- And the more Donald Tusk regained control over the borders, the more the number of "engineers" on Polish streets grew - wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media.

17:10

Political Smear Campaigns Funded by Public Money: Pełczyńska-Nałęcz Criticizes TVP and Appeals to Coalition Partners for Its Depoliticization
On July 1st, during the TVP Info program "Political Triangle," Renata Grochal asked Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz how she intended to reform state-owned companies, given reports from Poland 2050 suggesting she had hired her daughter within the party. The Minister of Funds and Regional Policy responded by stating that one should not confuse a political party with State Treasury companies, nor involve her daughter in such matters. Following the interview, Pełczyńska-Nałęcz published screenshots on X of posts supporting her and criticizing TVP. "This is truly a tremendous 'success' for TVP. With a baseless and ruthless attack on my family, they have achieved something nearly impossible – uniting people from the right to the left," wrote the Minister of Funds and Regional Policy. "I no longer expect any reflection from TVP, but I do from our coalition partners. Let's finally make a real change, not just a replacement. Let's depoliticize TVP and State Treasury companies. This will end the era of 'fat cats' and political smear campaigns funded by public money," she continued in her post.

17:13

Bosak Calls for Demonstration Against Illegal Migration:

Come!
- Attention, Lubusz Voivodeship, attention, Zielona Góra - a demonstration against illegal immigration and against pushing immigrants from the German side onto the Polish side, against what the government is doing by accepting and allowing it - says Krzysztof Bosak in a recording published on the X portal. - We are meeting for a joint demonstration in Zielona Góra on July 4th, Friday, at 5:00 PM, in front of the Marshal's Office. Come, let’s express our position together - he continues.

19:35

Schetyna:

Protests, the Extraordinary Chamber, Shifting Stances – All This Will Remain and Weigh on the Presidency
- Politically, Roma locuta, causa finita. That means this statement, and the assertion by Marshal Hołownia, closes the matter. The National Assembly will convene on August 6th at 10:00 AM to receive the oath from the president, administered by the Marshal of the Sejm, and thus begin the presidential term. All these protests, the Extraordinary Chamber, the shifting stances on various issues – all of this will remain and will somehow weigh on this presidency – stated Grzegorz Schetyna on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

19:45

Law. Schetyna on Government Reconstruction:

We Must Change the Division of Departments
- We are hostages of this, we must change the division of departments law. This will be difficult, it will certainly be part of or one of the elements of the conversation between the Prime Minister and the President, whether it will be possible for the division of departments law, i.e. the law on ministries, which manage all this public matter, i.e. how the government proposes to structure these ministries... - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in "Fakty po faktach" TVN24.

19:46

Hennig-Kloska:

Poland Will Not Support New EU Climate Target
"Poland will not support a target presented this way, even with these additional elements, for a simple reason: we are not ready for it, and the European Commission knows this," said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, when asked about the new EU climate target (reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 compared to 1990 levels). "In my opinion, there isn't even a majority for this target in general, but I am curious. It will be a good moment, after the European Commission presents the legislation, [...] to count heads in Europe and summarize whether more and more countries in Europe expect more flexibility," she continued.

19:48

Schetyna Advocates for Coalition Leaders to Join the Government:

All Hands on Deck.
"All hands on deck. Yes, I believe it's better for the government and for the sense of community. This government has no alternative, this coalition has no alternative. If this coalition doesn't make it, doesn't last for 2 years until the 2027 elections, if it falls apart earlier, there will be early elections, it will be our shared defeat. That's why I say: we must all be together, side by side" - stated Grzegorz Schetyna on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

19:54

Hennig-Kloska:

The More RES Energy, The Lower The Prices. In Winter, Wind Energy is Lacking, Blocked by the Opposition
- The more renewable energy sources in the energy mix, the more energy produced from RES, the lower the prices. In the summer, when we have a lot of renewable energy, we have very low prices. But in winter, when we lack this wind energy, which our opposition has been blocking for 9 years, prices immediately rise - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in Polsat News.

19:58

Hennig-Kloska:

ETS2 Was Adopted in Its Current Form Under Morawiecki's Government. It's Difficult to Negotiate Now, But We Will Succeed.
- Regarding the so-called ETS2, which introduces an additional level of fees for households, we are trying to renegotiate it. Unfortunately, it was adopted in its current form, during Mateusz Morawiecki's government, so the criticism from PiS is an absolute act of hypocrisy - Paulina Hennig-Kloska said on Polsat News. - Those were the best moments to negotiate the principles of introducing the so-called ETS2 [...]. Now it is a truly difficult negotiation, but we will succeed. I believe that we will postpone this reform so that it also minimizes its impact on households - she continued.

Hennig-Kloska:

If the President Blocks the Onshore Wind Energy Act, Lowering Bills Will Take Much Longer
- If the President blocks the onshore wind energy act, which is the cheapest energy available in Poland according to data from the Energy Market Agency, and we continue to be unable to develop this energy in Poland, it will take us much longer [to lower bills]. This is because the same turbine, when placed at sea for natural, obvious reasons, supplies more expensive electricity - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in Polsat News.

Post-Election Demobilization, Poor Communication with the Public, Coalition Disputes. Hennig-Kloska on Reasons for Negative Government Assessments
- Firstly, it is certainly a bit of an effect and a hiccup after the lost elections; there is always demobilization at such a moment. Secondly, all of this can be made up for, but the government needs to act effectively and communicate more effectively with the public - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in Polsat News, when asked about the government's ratings according to CBOS (59% of respondents negatively assessed its activities). - We live in a time when a huge wave of fake news and lies hits social media, goes viral there, and creates chaos for us, confusing facts with reality. Unfortunately, the government must also learn to communicate effectively, avoiding these reefs or counteracting them - she continued. - For me, there are too many discussions, but the leaders' decisions on how to form a new government must lead to it working more effectively and communicating better. We have done a lot in the Ministry of Climate and Environment; many people tell me, "but I haven't heard about it" - she went on to say. - We are communicating poorly with the public, incorrectly, through the wrong channels, insufficiently, perhaps there are also too many disputes. I am not a supporter of disputes between coalition partners or between ministers publicly; these matters should be resolved within the government - she added. - Perhaps indeed, a model where all leaders enter the government, form a presidium, and resolve all problems and disputes there, would bring a solution - she emphasized.

Closure of the Ministry of Climate as Part of a Reconstruction? Hennig-Kloska: Such a Decision Would Be Completely Incomprehensible to the Public
- I don't suspect, I mean, in the era of the greatest climate crisis, a decision to close the Ministry of Climate and Environment would be completely incomprehensible to the public, especially ours, which is more sensitive to these issues - Paulina Hennig-Kloska said on Polsat News, when asked if she feared that as a result of the reconstruction, her ministry would be "truncated" of its competencies or liquidated.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Bąkiewicz and his activists are hindering the Border Guard's duties
"Mr. Bąkiewicz and his activists are hindering the Border Guard in performing their duties. If someone wants to protect the borders, we invite them: to the Border Guard, there are 1500 vacancies, to the Territorial Defence Force, to the police, to the riot units," said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i" (The Dot on the i).

A Storm is Being Brewed Over an Issue Handled by the Border Guard," Hennig-Kloska on the Situation at the Polish-German Border
- A storm, so to speak, is being brewed over an issue that is practically handled by the Border Guard, and will be even more so shortly, to prevent such militant groups from harassing our citizens at the border - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska on Polsat News. - I deeply regret that Mr. Bąkiewicz and his colleagues did not roar when we had illegal visa trafficking in Poland during the PiS era, when hundreds of people crossed the fence on the eastern border daily - she continued.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

All Data Supports Our Claims; We Stopped Illegal Migration
- All the data […] is on our side, because we stopped illegal migration. I'll start with the eastern border. The effectiveness of the barrier – from 30% to 98%. 25% fewer visas issued. 150,000 fewer temporary residence permits. 17% fewer work permits issued – said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on TVN24's "Kropka nad i" (The Dot Over the 'i'). - Readmissions from Germany to Poland: 564 people in 2023, 89 people in 2025 when we were in power. Returns under the Dublin procedure: 2023, when PiS ruled – 404 people, 2025 – 225 people – he enumerated. - Now, a piece of data that is devastating for PiS. In 2022, 3818 foreigners were deported from Poland. In 2024, when we had to fix things after PiS, we deported 8540 people, over 123% more. Who started the deportations? Who tightened the borders? Who is introducing controls on the Polish-German border today? – he asked.

Kosiniak-Kamysz attacks the PiS project:

Let them say in Podhale that there will be no tourists from the Middle East.
- Yesterday, on PiS's internet profiles, a post appeared about the law: a ban on admitting [people] from the Middle East, from North Africa to Poland. So, for example, from Israel - Israel is the Middle East - for the anniversary [of the liberation] of Auschwitz, we won't let Jews come to commemorate those who were murdered in German camps? - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - Second matter: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates - we receive their rulers, we travel there, we want to do business with them, we do business. They also fly as tourists to Poland. Let them go to Podhale, let them say in Podhale that there will be no tourists from the Middle East, who pay very well for rentals, hotels, restaurants - he continued. - Illegal migration and bilateral relations with Middle Eastern countries are two different things. And PiS is confused and mixed up - he assessed.

Kosiniak-Kamysz criticizes Nawrocki's words:

He is doing very badly.
- Let the president-elect show me where the government is failing - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in TVN24's "Kropka nad i", when asked about Karol Nawrocki's words. - Regarding the data that we sealed the border from 30% to 98%? That we sent back 8,540 migrants? That we sent away those criminals who threatened security? That we caught 500 smugglers, i.e., people who illegally transported individuals across the border? They have no answers to these data - he continued. When pressed about Nawrocki's thanks to Bąkiewicz, the head of the Ministry of National Defence stated: - He is lying. He is doing badly. He is doing very badly, because he should be thanking one and only one group of people: uniformed officers, services. The Polish Army, the Border Guard, and the Police. They are guarding security. [...] The Polish soldier shed blood to protect the Polish border. Border guards, soldiers were wounded to protect Polish sovereignty, the Polish border.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

The German Minister Won't Dictate Our Border Controls
- The head of the [German] Interior Ministry said in Deutsche Welle that he is proposing joint patrols - stated Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - No. Not joint patrols, there will be Polish patrols. On the German side there are German patrols, on the Polish side there will be Polish ones - replied Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. - The German minister will not be here dictating to us what controls we should conduct. He arranges things on his side, we arrange things on our side. […] With sympathy, with respect and so on, Poland protects its borders - he added.

Kosiniak-Kamysz on Nawrocki’s Swearing-In:

Let’s End This Series, Which Serves Neither the Government, Nor the Coalition, Nor Poland.
- Szymon Hołownia made the right decision to convene the National Assembly. Let’s end this constant chatter, this series, which certainly serves neither the government, nor our coalition, nor the stability of Poland, nor the security of Poland. On August 6th, Karol Nawrocki will be sworn in as president - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on TVN24’s “Kropka nad i”.

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

PiS-run foreigner integration centres should be abolished and transformed into Polish culture centres
- PiS-run foreigner integration centres should not be established. And those that have been created should be abolished and preferably transformed into Polish culture centres - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Kropka nad i" on TVN24. - When someone comes to Poland, I am happy that young French, Spanish people come to Poland and say: it's wonderful here, beautiful, Poland is a safe country. Here there are no such cultural difficulties as there are in our biggest cities. So I would like them to get to know Polish culture, the Polish language. But this is a completely different approach than the PiS-run integration centres - he continued.

"All Hands on Deck": Kosiniak-Kamysz Advocates for Coalition Leaders to Join the Government

If You Defend the Border, You're a Hero. If You Cross It Illegally, You're a Criminal.
