Wiącek:

Elections are presumed valid. The president-elect should take office

- As long as a ruling invalidating the elections has not been made, elections are presumed to be valid. Therefore, regardless of what we think about the mandate of the Extraordinary Control Chamber, this presumption is in effect and has not been overturned. Consequently, the National Assembly should convene, and the president-elect should take office – stated Marcin Wiącek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

07:36

Wiącek:

The Mandate of Those Elected in Parliamentary and European Elections Remains Unquestioned

- Recently, parliamentary elections, European Parliament elections, and supplementary Senate elections have taken place. In each of these cases, the Supreme Court, in its composition, ruled on their validity, and the mandate of the persons elected in these elections is not being challenged, neither in Poland nor in the EU, because for example, concerning MEPs, the same principle applies here – the principle of presumed validity of elections – stated Marcin Wiącek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

07:42

Wiącek:

Referring the Case to Another Chamber in the Supreme Court Would Not Be Considered a Violation of Law

- There is a provision in the Supreme Court Act allowing the First President of the Supreme Court to refer a case to another chamber for a decision. This provision could have been applied in connection with the numerous, already over a dozen, rulings of European courts, and referring the case to another chamber would not have been met with an accusation of violating the law, and perhaps would have built citizens' trust in the electoral process - stated Marcin Wiącek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

08:20

Przydacz:

If Sikorski or Tusk Request a Meeting, Nawrocki Will Engage in Dialogue

- I am convinced that if Minister Sikorski or Prime Minister Donald Tusk were to request a meeting with the President-elect, the President, knowing the constitutional and political circumstances, would certainly agree to such a conversation. Because it is important to seek elements of cooperation and collaboration - said Marcin Przydacz in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News's "Graffiti". - There are actions like the issue of ambassadors, where the President and the Minister of Foreign Affairs must... Not so long ago, as a Member of Parliament, I asked Minister Sikorski what his plan was to resolve this matter. He answered me directly: my plan is called Rafał Trzaskowski - he stated. - He did not indicate any other plan at that time. It is clear that Minister Sikorski's plan did not work out, so the Minister must now think of another plan to resolve it - he added.

08:28

Przydacz on Nawrocki’s Conversation with the NATO Chief:

The Topic of Migration and the Situation at the German Border Was Discussed.

- It was a very good meeting, initiated by the NATO Secretary General. He invited the president-elect to a meeting, a less formal lunch or dinner at his residence, in a very friendly atmosphere. […] However, the discussions were very serious because they concerned, of course, the sphere of security, the recent summit in The Hague, and the role Poland plays and will play in NATO policy - said Marcin Przydacz in “Graffiti” on Polsat News. - They also concerned the threats facing our community: those originating from the East, but also internal ones. There was a discussion about migration, including the situation on the Polish-German border - he indicated. - This conversation significantly extended beyond its planned duration, which shows it was conducted in a spirit of good dialogue. There was great curiosity from the Secretary General. Yes, they exchanged phone numbers and will certainly be in ongoing contact in the near future - he continued.

08:32

Przydacz:

Border Checks with Germany? A Delayed Move. I Don't Trust Tusk, We Will Be Monitoring

- This is primarily a delayed move. We, and the president-elect as well, appealed a long time ago to reinstate these selective checks, in order to have full control over the situation, over the borders. Especially since checks have been conducted on the German side for many months now, and that further information keeps emerging about subsequent groups of migrants being handed over to us by the German side - stated Marcin Przydacz in the "Graffiti" program on Polsat News. - Will this move be sufficient? I do not trust Donald Tusk. I know he is known for making certain moves that are merely symbolic, PR-driven, solely to extinguish a particular issue. We will be monitoring and will see how this situation at the border unfolds - he announced. - This should have been done much earlier, and above all, without lying to Poles. Because just the day before, the Prime Minister said it was right-wing hysteria, that PiS was inflaming emotions, and there was no reason for concern, everything was okay at the border - after which, the next day, he decided to reinstate the checks. So, when was he lying? - he pointed out.

08:39

Przydacz Announces Further Conversations for Nawrocki with Foreign Leaders:

More Contacts to Come.

- There are planned telephone conversations [of Karol Nawrocki] with further leaders, presidents. In the coming days, there will be several such conversations, for instance, a conversation is currently being arranged with the President of Finland. The President of Finland wishes to speak with the President-elect. As I understand it, to congratulate him, but also as a country on the eastern flank, our NATO ally, to discuss security policy – said Marcin Przydacz in “Graffiti” on Polsat News. As he announced: - There will be more and more of these contacts. And of course, after August 6th, we will commence full international activity.

08:48

Przydacz:

The Polish Government's Weakness Encouraged Germany to Shift Migrants Our Way

- It's a political decision on the German side. The rising popularity of the AfD, an anti-immigration party, is causing the German establishment to want to relieve internal migratory tension. And they have two options: either they can send them back to Africa or the Middle East, which is obviously the more difficult path, or they can offload them onto their neighbors, especially when those neighbors, at the governmental level, don't particularly protest - said Marcin Przydacz in "Graffiti" on Polsat News. - And I have the impression that this is exactly what's happening – that the weakness of the Polish government has emboldened Germany to shift these migrants to Poland, under the guise that they supposedly came through Poland - he assessed.

08:58

Bosak:

It was a mistake on Braun's part

- Grzegorz Braun decided to run in the presidential elections. We did not push him towards this, and that was the reason for the separation. I believe it was a mistake on Grzegorz Braun's part - stated Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet. - It will take many months before public opinion gets used to the fact that Grzegorz Braun is no longer in Konfederacja, that he is trying his luck on his own. I believe it is a very difficult mission to build a new party from scratch and overcome the electoral threshold - he continued.

08:59

Bosak on the Decline in PO's Ratings:

They Govern Very Poorly, They Lied in the Election Campaign - People Saw It.

- They govern very poorly, they are not coping with basic challenges. They lied in the election campaign, people saw it, they are losing trust in this party. There is no visible governing strategy, the Prime Minister announces a government reconstruction, and no one knows which direction it is supposed to go. Unofficially, even people who sympathized with PO say that investments are being held back, there is no decisiveness in the government - stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Zet.

09:14

Czarzasty:

I See No Substantive Grounds for Deputy Prime Minister Gawkowski's Dismissal

- We, as The Left, stand by the coalition agreement. […] In this coalition agreement, which stabilizes and should stabilize the entire situation, it is very clearly written which formation has the deputy prime minister, which has the prime minister, which has the Speaker of the Senate, of the Sejm - Włodzimierz Czarzasty said in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM. - From the coalition agreement, it follows that as far as The Left is concerned, The Left will have the Speaker of the Sejm at the end of this year, and as far as the government is concerned, The Left has the deputy prime minister. […] We maintain the position, concerning The Left, that Deputy Prime Minister Gawkowski will remain Deputy Prime Minister Gawkowski. I see no substantive grounds for Deputy Prime Minister Gawkowski to be dismissed - he stated.

09:22

Bosak:

We are ready to win over voters from Poland 2050, PSL, and disillusioned PO supporters

- We are ready to win over voters from Poland 2050, PSL, and PO voters who are disillusioned with what Donald Tusk's government is currently doing and, above all, what it is not doing, because they were supposed to reform, regulate, support the economy, and achieve successes in the EU, and that is not happening - stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Zet.

09:36

Czarzasty:

The Prosecutor's Office, Courts, and Police Should Deal with Groups of Meaningless Men Who Roam and Intimidate at the Border

- I will tell you what should happen. Firstly, Bąkiewicz should be charged by the prosecutor's office and brought before the court. Secondly, all these groups of meaningless men who roam and intimidate at the border, trying to do the job of the Border Guard, should be dealt with by the prosecutor's office, the courts, and the police - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM. - They are just starting to deal with it. I think if you mention my words in two days, you will see the results - he added.

09:48

Czarzasty Harshly Criticizes Border Defense Movement:

Shady Characters," "Potential Bandits.

- It cannot be that residents are surprised that some shady characters are stopping cars, demanding identification, and replacing services that are functioning well - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM. - If the orthodox right, meaning PiS, Bąkiewicz, all those guys from Konfederacja, say "united behind the uniform," and the uniform in the form of the Border Guard says: "700 people crossed the border last year," and they say: "no, that's not true. Those who crossed the border by force, were forced upon us by the Germans, there are millions of people." How much longer can we listen to this nonsense? - he asked. When pressed by Tomasz Terlikowski about the declarations of the Border Defense Movement, which presents itself as patriots defending Polish women from "engineers," he stated: - We are not talking about patriots, but about potential bandits. Because they intimidate people, they say: "we are defending you, therefore give us your ID, we will check you." - This mess, which was introduced not by the Germans, to be clear, but by lunatics in Poland, needs to be eliminated. […] I call people like this those who have put on T-shirts, believe they are members of the Border Guard, intimidate people, stop these people, try to identify them, and believe they are justice and law on the western border. That is what I call these people, and the police should deal with them - he emphasized.

09:57

Migrant Data Like COVID-19 Figures? Bosak: That's How It Should Be Published

- I believe that this data, just like the data regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, which was released day by day, the number of infections and so on. The same should be the case here. Day by day, the Ministry of Interior should provide information on migrants - stated Krzysztof Bosak on Radio Zet.

10:05

Czarzasty:

This Year We Want to Pass the Civil Partnerships Act Through the Sejm

- Regarding civil partnerships, the draft is currently with the government. That's why the Left exists: even if there isn't an act on this matter yet, we will talk about it day and night - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty during the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM. - I believe that these types of partnerships will be able to be concluded at the Civil Registry Office. I believe that these people will be able to bear a joint or double surname. I believe in joint tax filing, in inheritance, in the possibility of a municipal flat going to the surviving partner after the death of the other. I believe in normal things that happen. The Polish People's Party (PSL) will understand this someday - he asserted. - As the Left, we will want to conclude the discussion on this matter and finally get it through the Sejm this year - he declared.

10:09

Morawiecki at the Border:

Bagan and Boroń to Resign.

- We stand as a wall behind the Polish uniform, respect for the Border Guard, its officers, for Polish police officers. They are currently trying to defend the border with a very small, statutory staff, as best they can, but their superiors, Tusk, Siemoniak, Boroń, the Chief Police Headquarters, Bagan, the Border Guard, they are responsible for this state of affairs. Bagan and Boroń to resign, because they are not performing their duties as they should - stated Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference on the Polish-German border.

10:15

Morawiecki at the Border:

I Demand the Government Immediately Create a Special Shield for Entrepreneurs.

– I demand immediately from this government, from the Minister of Finance, from the Prime Minister, the creation of a special shield for entrepreneurs. Just like on the eastern border, when a decision had to be made about defending the Polish border, I made it within 5 minutes. Building a wall, building a barrier, special programs for local governments, for entrepreneurs who were losing money – stated Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference on the Polish-German border. – I demand the immediate implementation of protective shields for Polish entrepreneurs from the West Pomeranian, Lubusz, and Lower Silesian voivodeships – he continued.

10:23

Morawiecki:

We're Facing an Attack of Illegal Immigrants on the Polish Border. What Kind of Cardboard State Is This, Where Citizens Must Perform the Duties of Services?

- If here, at this small crossing, seven foreigners were prevented from crossing recently alone, multiply that by the number of days, by the number of crossings; in Zgorzelec it's much worse, we are simply dealing with an attack on the Polish border by illegal immigrants, being pushed on us by the German Chancellor, by German services - stated Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference on the Polish-German border. - What kind of cardboard state is this, where citizens must perform the duties of services, like near Limanowa, when citizens rallied together to search for that murderer? So, will Tusk also send services there to threaten citizens for trying to take care of their own safety? - he stated.

10:41

President-Elect Announces Head of BBN:

An Exceptional Mind

- I have made the decision that Professor Sławomir Cenckiewicz will be the head of the National Security Bureau (BBN). Not only an outstanding intellectual, academic, director of the Military Historical Bureau, and author of many books on the activities of communist, Soviet special services. Professor Cenckiewicz's exceptional mind, but also his volitional traits and my deep conviction that the only cause the professor serves is the strength and stability of the Republic of Poland – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Warsaw. - I also view the shape of the BBN in the context of Program 21, my presidential plan, so that the BBN fulfills the tasks and this program for which 10.5 million Poles voted. I feel obligated to the citizens of the state, hence the structure of the BBN, with a civilian, professor, and academic intellectual at its head, and the deputies of the BBN head being two excellent generals, officers of the Polish Army and special services – he continued, announcing the nominations for Gen. Andrzej Kowalski and Gen. Mirosław Bryś.

10:43

Nawrocki on Security Policy:

I Am Convinced We Will Have Successful Cooperation with Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz.

- I want the Presidential Palace to be the center shaping Polish security policy in military, defense, civilian, operational, and analytical areas. I am convinced that we will have successful cooperation with the Minister of National Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, in this regard, and the presidential center will also work on the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland, which we must adopt. I will be an active president in this respect – said President-elect Karol Nawrocki at a press conference.

11:10

Cenckiewicz:

Regardless of what I have personally experienced over the past 1.5 years, I declare a new opening and a willingness to cooperate

- I wanted to emphasize that the Bureau I lead will not be some stronghold of contesting everything that is a good government project, primarily from the Minister of National Defence or the Minister of the Interior and Administration, which will serve the state's defence, our security, and the enhancement of our defence capabilities. We will support the Polish government in all of this - Sławomir Cenckiewicz stated at a press conference. - I also want to emphasize that we will not be involuntary midwives to what comes from the government. We want to be a substantive, as well as organizational, support for developing optimal projects for Poland and our security - the future head of the National Security Bureau (BBN) noted. - I think this will be a good time for Poland, a good time also for cooperation with any government, any minister who cares about security. I would like this to be harmonious cooperation, not antagonistic - he said. - Regardless of what has also personally happened to me in the last eighteen months, I would like to emphasize this new opening and the desire and willingness to cooperate in the field of security - he pointed out.

11:21

Nawrocki:

I Will Invite Sikorski for a Discussion on Ambassadors

- Regarding ambassadors, I am ready for a concrete discussion with Minister Sikorski on how this should look. I am not ready to violate the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Ambassadorial nominations are clearly stipulated in the Polish Constitution. I am ready for a discussion with Minister Sikorski. I will invite Minister Sikorski for such a discussion. We need to systematize this; the President's competences in matters of ambassadors are clearly indicated in the Constitution – stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Warsaw.

11:23

Nawrocki:

It Seems Obvious That Neither Klich Nor Schnepf Will Receive My Approval

- Bogdan Klich should not be Poland's ambassador to Washington. Nothing has changed, he is not doing any work appropriate for the Polish state, he is unable to represent Poland, he insulted the US President Donald Trump. It seems obvious that neither Mr. Klich nor Mr. Schnepf will receive my approval - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Warsaw.

11:28

Nawrocki:

Germany was pushing illegal migrants into Poland; Polish citizens reacted, and I thank them for that

- I am very sorry that the Polish state failed to cope with the border crisis for many months, and it was citizens who had to fill the gap... You know perfectly well that it wasn't coping in the sense that Germany was pushing illegal migrants into Poland; Polish citizens reacted, and I thank them for that. However, concerning what happened, for which Donald Tusk is responsible, there were indeed certain conflicts between the Border Guard and citizens, and that is what Prime Minister Tusk is responsible for - stated Karol Nawrocki at a press briefing in Warsaw.

12:13

Duda After Audience with the Pope:

I Asked Him to Welcome the New President Swiftly.

- The official audience, mine and the Polish delegation's, with His Holiness Leo XIV has just concluded. It was a very moving moment for me to meet with His Holiness. I thanked His Holiness primarily for the invitation. It's a specific kind of presidential visit because, on one hand, it's a welcoming visit in the sense that His Holiness was elected and began his pontificate not so long ago […], but for me, it's also simultaneously a farewell visit in my role as the head of the Polish state – said President Andrzej Duda during a press briefing in the Vatican.

- I asked him to welcome the new President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, as soon as possible after he takes office. I said that this is very important for us, and I am convinced that it will also be very important for him personally – he continued.

- I invited His Holiness to Poland. I said that the new president will certainly do so as well, but that I am inviting him in advance. […] We are always waiting for him. I said that I am convinced that he is greatly awaited in Poland by my countrymen – he added.

12:25

Cenckiewicz to Head National Security Bureau. Duda: He is an Expert, I Don't Debate This Candidacy

- Regarding Professor Cenckiewicz, firstly, he is certainly an expert in security matters. Secondly, they also know each other well from the Institute of National Remembrance, from historical work, so I am not discussing this candidacy or proposal at all – President Andrzej Duda said during a press briefing in the Vatican.

- Besides, when we were generally discussing nominations with President-elect Karol Nawrocki, I clearly stated – there's no point in hiding it – that in every case, it is his absolutely sovereign decision – he added.

12:42

Duda:

Citizens Guarding the Border and Assisting the Border Guard. I Thank Them for Their Stance

- Today, the problem is migrants, who, as you can see and hear, are de facto illegally moving towards us from Germany. These are trends that must be stopped, because firstly, it is unlawful, and secondly, Polish society does not wish for this, and there are also social reactions in the form of these civic groups that are guarding the border – said President Andrzej Duda during a press briefing in the Vatican. - I am astonished by the strong reactions of Prime Minister Tusk to the formation of such civic groups that guard the border. Because, in my opinion, people are simply helping the Border Guard in carrying out its task – he assessed. In his opinion: - These are people who want to do this out of goodwill, to protect the security of Poland, their own, their families', all of ours, and, to be honest, I was the first to say that I thank them for it, and I continue to thank them for such an attitude of readiness to support the defense of the Republic of Poland's borders, because it is extremely valuable.

12:50

Duda:

Politicians Criticizing Border Guards Today Attacked Soldiers and Border Guards Rudely Years Ago

- Today, these people [at the border] are being criticized by the same politicians who, just a few years ago, insultingly and rudely attacked Border Guard officers, attacked Polish soldiers who were guarding the Polish border - President Andrzej Duda said during a press briefing in the Vatican. - Today, they are presenting themselves as great defenders of Border Guard officers, and not long ago they applauded when a film was released in Polish cinemas that effectively slandered Border Guard officers, a film which in this context is anti-Polish - he continued. - I hope, however, that everyone remembers what happened a few years ago and how those politicians behaved who today are presenting themselves as defenders of the Polish border - he added.

15:20

Glapiński:

Current Data Confirms Inflation is Decreasing Quarter-on-Quarter

Current data confirms that inflation is decreasing quarter-on-quarter. According to our forecasts, our current July projection, from July onwards inflation will be in line with the NBP's target level - 2.5% plus minus 1. We have once again managed to push it down to the level we had a year ago - stated Adam Glapiński at a press conference.

15:24

Glapiński:

We Are Not Announcing Any Interest Rate Cut Path

- The Monetary Policy Council's future decisions will depend on incoming information. We are not announcing any path for interest rate cuts. This is not the beginning of an interest rate cut cycle. We are not announcing anything of the sort - stated Adam Glapiński at a press conference.

15:50

When Are Further Interest Rate Cuts Possible? Glapiński Points to a Month

- If these kinds of trends and projections for the coming quarters, year, year and a half, continue, then of course we will [continue interest rate cuts], we are not closed off to any decisions. However, we are naturally avoiding a situation where we cut so much that we would later have to raise them. We are acting responsibly - stated Adam Glapiński at a press conference. - In September - if circumstances are favorable, there are no contraindications - he added.

18:10

Bosak on the Draft Regulation on Border Controls:

Siemoniak Admitted in Writing That He Lied.

- We have a promised regulation from Minister Siemoniak and Prime Minister Tusk, a regulation on restoring border controls. Does this reassure us? Absolutely not - says Krzysztof Bosak in a commentary published on Kanal Zero. "This Must Be Some Kind of Joke" - Firstly, as we read in this regulation, it is established only from July 7th to August 5th. This must be some kind of joke. For less than a month? What is this supposed to change? The immigration pressure in Poland will not weaken, it will not disappear - he stated. - Secondly, we don't know how these controls will be implemented. Germany, tasking several thousand officers, is currently unable to seal and protect the border. There are huge staff shortages in the Polish Border Guard - he indicated. "Siemoniak Admitted in Writing That He Lied" According to the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm: - One thing is very interesting in this regulation, namely its justification, in which Minister Siemoniak contradicted himself. In reality, one could say that he admitted in writing that he was not telling the truth, [...] that he lied. - Minister Siemoniak claimed that everything is okay in the relations between Poland and Germany, that we are operating according to procedures. Meanwhile, in the justification, sentences appear stating that, in fact, the restoration of border controls is necessary because the German side changed its practice on May 8, 2025, and applies asylum regulations differently - or rather, applies them in such a way that they are not applied - and that, in essence, the German side does not comply with the Polish-German agreement of 1993. And also, it does not fully respect the EU regulations of the Parliament and Council from 2013 - he continued. "Isn't This Exactly What We Were Saying Last Year?" - And therefore, to initiate some kind of verification, the government must restore controls at the border to be able to act symmetrically with the German side. I have one question - isn't this exactly what we were saying last year? - asked the leader of Konfederacja. As he continued: - Didn't we say last year that controls should be reinstated at the border with Germany? Didn't we point out last year in October, after an intervention at the Border Guard, that Border Guard officers lack the instruments to effectively stop this migratory pressure from Germany, as long as no official controls are in place on our side, and we apply this foolish principle of trust towards the German side? "He Accused Us of Misleading - In Reality, He Is Doing It Himself" - Minister Siemoniak defended this, and now in writing [...] they are retreating from it. And that's good, let it reach the public widely. The minister contradicted himself. He accused us of misleading - in reality, he himself is misleading. He is manipulating data, and now he has admitted that he was not telling the truth and that not everything in Polish-German relations is okay - emphasized Bosak.

18:19

Siemoniak Responds to Bosak on Border Checks:

The Regulation Will Certainly Be Extended.

- Mr. Deputy Speaker Bosak. A minimum of competence is required when you speak on a given topic. The regulation on temporary checks, according to the Schengen Borders Code, must be for 30 days, then it is extended, and this will certainly be the case here. An obvious obviousness. It’s better to prepare yourself than to misinform – Tomasz Siemoniak wrote on the X platform, referring to the words of Krzysztof Bosak.

Panie wicemarszałku Bosak. Minimum kompetencji jeśli się pan wypowiada na jakiś temat. Rozporządzenie o tymczasowej kontroli zgodnie z kodeksem granicznym Schengen musi być na 30 dni, potem jest przedłużane i tak będzie z pewnością w tym przypadku. Oczywista oczywistość. Lepiej… https://t.co/GyuyYXuM1c

Manowska:

If You Want the Possibility to Recount Votes, the Law Must Be Changed

- If you want to have a solution in the legal system that allows for a recount of votes or a different method of counting votes, then the law, the Electoral Code, simply needs to be changed. Perhaps in such a way that the precinct commissions do not count votes independently at all, perhaps do it in the spotlight. It might take a little longer, but then citizens might not have doubts – said Małgorzata Manowska in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News's "Guest of Events". - We at the Supreme Court adhere to the law, the Electoral Code. And the Electoral Code does not allow for such a maneuver by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's jurisdiction, resulting from the Electoral Code, is very limited, only to the content of the protest – she continued.

19:53

Manowska:

Evidentiary Material Does Not Provide Grounds to Conclude Intentional Forgery Occurred

- As a citizen, they [the incidents] concerned me because such incidents should not happen. However, in my opinion, this did not stem from any attempt to forge the election, because as demonstrated by the evidentiary proceedings conducted by the Supreme Court, these votes were attributed to both sides. In some cases, these were errors of 2-3 votes - stated Małgorzata Manowska in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News. As she indicated: - The evidentiary material does not provide us with grounds to conclude that any intentional forgery of election results occurred. Such things should not happen, but perhaps it is also a matter of amending the Electoral Code and the working procedures of polling station commissions. Perhaps these people were tired, it's hard for me to say.

20:05

in Trzaskowski winning:

I will never back down from these words, I will repeat them for the third time." Manowska on not being "interested

"- Was it appropriate for the First President of the Supreme Court to say amidst all this political turmoil that you are not interested in one of the candidates winning these elections?" asked Marcin Fijołek in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News. - Yes, it was appropriate and I will repeat it for the third time. I will never back down from these words. I said these words not as the First President of the Supreme Court, but as a judge, as a representative of a certain service, that I am truly not interested in such a president - and please remember that the president has the greatest impact on the judiciary, especially the Supreme Court, makes the most decisions - so how can I trust a president who uses the phrasing "our judges" during an election campaign? - replied Małgorzata Manowska. - This immediately frightens me and suggests that there is a group of judges at the service of a politician. And he is designated by a political group that does not want to talk to us, with these 3,000 judges, about some logical solutions, but solutions are being introduced that are contested by the Venice Commission, there is an attempt at some kind of verification of judges that did not even happen under communism - she argued.

20:18

Manowska:

I Received Signals That the Supreme Court Could Be Pacified. Seeing What Happened at TVP, It's Better to Be Three Times More Prepared Than Necessary.

- I received signals, quite serious ones, that the Supreme Court could be – forgive me for the phrasing – pacified. People were afraid, I am responsible for the safety of the employees, the judges, and also the people who enter the Supreme Court, and we simply took precautions in various ways – said Małgorzata Manowska in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News. - I don't know which services, but we were warned. Perhaps it was a rumor, perhaps there was nothing to it, but in a situation where I receive SMS messages, where people call me, saying: be careful, secure the Supreme Court, because they might not let you in, or not let you out... For me, as a judge, this is truly fantastic. But when I saw what was happening at Polish Television, for example, well, it's better to be three times more prepared than necessary, than to regret it later – she stated.

20:23

Duda:

There's a group of politicians in Poland who claim there's no democracy whenever they don't win elections

- There is a group of politicians in Poland who simply cannot come to terms with democracy. They have a serious problem accepting democracy. That is to say, they claim there is no democracy whenever they don't win elections. Every time they don't win elections, there is no democracy in Poland, if Poles vote differently. Calmly and consistently, I tell these gentlemen, above all, that it is the Poles themselves who, with their votes and their participation, define democracy and, in reality, shape and draw democracy – stated President Andrzej Duda on wPolsce24.

Duda:

If the need arises, I will take on a public office in the future

- If the need arises for me to take on a public office in the future, even as a former President of the Republic of Poland, with all the consequences that entails, considering also a certain political tradition that has existed in Poland until now, which meant that presidents did not run in any further elections - stated President Andrzej Duda on the wPolsce24 television channel. - But there are offices that do not require participation in general elections, and which are indeed very important and responsible at the state level. If such proposals were to arise, I would of course always consider such a proposal - he stated. - If it would be a real opportunity to seriously perform public duties and realize what I understand by politics: as a sensible concern for the common good, action for the Republic of Poland and for my compatriots, then of course I will undertake such a task - he declared.
