Siemoniak on Reintroducing Border Controls with Germany and Lithuania:

The Reasons are Very Real.
- The reasons are very real. This is a fight against illegal migration. We introduced controls on the Polish-German and Polish-Lithuanian borders at midnight, a few hours ago, and this is linked to the fact that we must act very clearly in a situation where the German side, on the one hand, does not admit illegal migrants, without subjecting them to the readmission procedure - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in “Piasecki’s Interview” on TVN24. - And on the other hand, due to the sealing of our Polish-Belarusian border, the electronic barrier, 11,000 officers and soldiers, various actions, including the suspension of the right to asylum, we are seeing a significant increase in illegal migrants crossing the border into Lithuania, Latvia, and then travelling to Poland - continued the Minister of Interior and Administration.

07:55

Siemoniak on the reintroduction of checks at the border with Germany and Lithuania:

Everything is proceeding without incident, traffic is smooth for now.
- I have just received reports from the Commander-in-Chief of the Border Guard. Everything is proceeding without incident, traffic is smooth for now, 800 officers, 300 police officers, 200 gendarmerie soldiers, 500 from the territorial defense, all services, the Road Transport Inspection are on full alert and are operating - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the "Piasecki Conversation" on TVN24.

08:00

Siemoniak:

No Reason to Spread Disinformation Like PiS Politicians
- The Border Guard is a very professional service, it operates very reliably, we report on all cases, and there is no reason to spread disinformation, as PiS politicians are doing, about thousands of migrants being sent back to Poland by Germany. Those thousands were two years ago, when Jarosław Kaczyński was the Deputy Prime Minister. Today, I appeal for trust in our Border Guard - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the "Piasecki's Talk" program on TVN24.

08:11

Siemoniak on the Border Defense Movement:

They Rely on False Information, on Stirring Emotions.
- Exactly. [Representatives of the border defense movement] rely on false information, on stirring emotions, and I believe that it is exceptionally dishonest of politicians to attempt to exploit this. I said this publicly – if someone wants to defend Poland's borders, the Border Guard is waiting – stated Tomasz Siemoniak in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

08:14

Siemoniak:

If Germany Doesn't Lift Controls, We Will Continue Ours Too
- The regulation introduced these controls for 30 days, as stipulated by the Schengen Borders Code, but if Germany does not lift these controls, we will continue ours as well – stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the TVN24 program "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

08:20

Siemoniak on Hołownia:

He Can Meet With Whoever He Thinks Is Right.
- I have trust and respect for Marshal Szymon Hołownia. I’ve already had the opportunity to comment on this matter. He can meet with whoever he thinks is right, and that’s all I can say on the subject. We rejected, because it was exceptionally damaging, such accusations from PiS politicians that SOP had betrayed him. Absolutely not, that is simply impossible. It is not for me to judge who meets with whom – stated Tomasz Siemoniak in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.

08:29

Bosak on the public's reaction to migrants being pushed across the border:

Anyone who thinks Konfederacja, PiS, or Bąkiewicz is behind this is mistaken.
- It's a success for all Poles that the issue of immigrants being pushed across the border by Germany has finally been highlighted. Let's recall that the first media reports on this matter appeared last year, and they intensified around the middle of the year to the extent that we visited the border in October - said Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Renata Grochal on "Bez uników" (Without Evasions) on Trójka, when asked if the border checks with Germany and Lithuania are a success for Konfederacja. - For the next three quarters, the issue was ignored by the media, but as you can see, it can no longer be ignored, because the public outcry is widespread, and anyone who thinks Konfederacja, PiS, or Robert Bąkiewicz is behind this is deeply mistaken. You just need to go to the border and see that ordinary people are moved - he continued.

08:36

Bosak on How the Government and the Ministry of Interior Present Migrant Data:

Total Manipulation, a Lie.
- For the past year, the Ministry of Interior has avoided providing any information on returns. The manipulation of public opinion consisted of providing information solely on readmissions and returns under EU regulations, the so-called Dublin procedures, which allowed the government to present better statistics than PiS - Krzysztof Bosak said on Trójka.

- Omitting the largest category, which totals several thousand over the period of Civic Platform's rule, was total manipulation, in my opinion simply a lie, deceiving public opinion - he continued.

- The government deliberately highlighted small numbers, omitting the procedure that Germany primarily uses - he added.

09:37

Tusk at Deregulation Conference:

2025 Represents Absolutely Justified Hopes.
This place, when we agreed on this significant undertaking, was a place heralding Polish success, a Polish breakthrough in 2025. Back then, I believe everyone believed that what is impossible in many places around the world, what has been impossible in Poland for so long, would become possible – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the event “Deregulation. We're Removing Barriers, Making Life Easier” at the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW). This year, 2025, holds absolutely justified hopes, although we are all aware – and you can imagine that perhaps no one in Poland has such a deep awareness of the various risks and problems that lie in wait for us every day, from every possible angle. However, this makes us feel even more our shared national satisfaction with what this year, 2025, the millennial year of the Polish Crown, has brought. These are not just signs of hope, but also hard facts – he continued.

09:41

Tusk at a Deregulation Conference:

The Dream of a Second Japan Has Proved Possible Today.
Do you remember the famous words of Lech Wałęsa about a second Japan? Well, when we read today the assessments by international, statistical institutions that the Polish economy, and we are of course talking about it on a per capita basis, with purchasing power parity, so I realize that these things are not entirely comparable, but if we consider that a Pole's purchasing power today is greater than a Japanese person's purchasing power in Japan, then that dream of a second Japan, which seemed unrealistic and evoked more ridicule than belief in Polish capabilities back then, has proved possible today – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the event "Deregulation. We Remove Barriers, We Make Life Easier" at the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

09:46

Tusk:

We Have Many Signals and Data – Simple Reserves Are Running Out
- We have many signals and data – simple reserves are running out. The fact that Poles have always been ready to work hard and for less money is not the nicest reserve we've utilized. Today, if we think as ambitiously as before, meaning the 20th place doesn't satisfy us, we must realize that each subsequent position will require a greater and different type of effort, and that words and tasks like innovation, intelligent economy, and deregulation, must become not just a revolutionary idea, as they were a few months ago – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the event "Deregulation. We Are Removing Barriers, Making Life Easier" at the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

- It must be a fundamental change in philosophy. Poland, the Polish economy, must become, and as a direct consequence, the lives of every Polish family must rise to a clearly higher level. This applies to competencies, investment levels, company quality, company innovation, and better results in terms of higher education – he continued.

09:54

Tusk:

Deregulation is the Biggest Systemic Change in the Short Term Since Poland Joined the EU
- This deregulation is, in the short term, the biggest systemic change since Poland joined the EU. There is no exaggeration in this; we are truly, every day, every week, together with you, changing the economic and social philosophy and system in Poland. This only makes sense if we believe, I deeply believe, I spoke with the leader of the social side, who also deeply believes in this, then it might be something more than a beginning, but certainly not the end of this process - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the event "Deregulation. We Are Removing Barriers, Making Life Easier" at the WSE (Warsaw Stock Exchange).

10:40

PiS Appeals for Referendum Signatures:

If Society Is Determined, Tusk Will Yield.
- We encourage all of you, all our viewers and listeners, to come to the offices of Law and Justice MPs, senators, and MEPs and sign the referendum motion, because the more signatures there are, the greater the pressure, the greater the chance that illegal immigrants will not be brought into Poland - said Tobiasz Bocheński at a press conference. - Just as Donald Tusk yielded to the Border Defense Movement and introduced border controls to a certain extent starting today, if Polish society is determined, he will also yield regarding his stance on illegal immigrants, a stance that has been known to us for years - he continued.

10:44

Gliński on Migration:

We Don't Want Phenomena Unsolvable in Much Richer Countries to Appear in Poland,
- It's not about someone being personally against individuals from other cultures. This is about a major social threat, a social problem [...]. We don't want phenomena that are unsolvable in much richer countries, in those countries that supposedly lead in Europe, to appear in Poland - said Piotr Gliński at a press conference.

10:55

Bocheński:

I hope this week in Strasbourg will lead to the formation of positions that will see von der Leyen removed from office
- Today, on Monday, a debate will be held in the European Parliament, initiated by, among others, MEPs from the Law and Justice party, on what we could call in Polish terms a vote of confidence or a vote of no confidence for Ursula von der Leyen - said Tobiasz Bocheński at a press conference. - We believe that the European Commission under her leadership is leading the European Union towards an abyss. This is a European Commission that is deeply entangled in climate ideology, pushing the Green Deal, and the migration pact - he continued. - Ursula von der Leyen and this European Commission should step down. Our view is shared not only by the more radical right in its views and sitting further to our right in the European Parliament, but also by a large part of the left. The left, which is dissatisfied with Ms. Ursula von der Leyen's insufficiently revolutionary views on the issues that are the subject of our criticism - he went on to say. - I hope that today's debate and this week in Strasbourg will allow for the formation of positions that will lead to Ursula von der Leyen being removed from her office, because it will be for the benefit of the European Union, but it will be primarily for the benefit of Poland - he added.

11:05

Bocheński:

Kaczyński-Hołownia Meeting Not About Technical Government, But Our Proposal Remains Relevant
- Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński said yesterday that it was about defending Polish matters, he said that this meeting concerned [...] firstly, establishing dialogue - said Tobiasz Bocheński at a press conference, when asked what Szymon Hołownia's meeting with Jarosław Kaczyński was about and whether there would be further meetings. - Very often, from various sides, we are attacked for there being too much war in politics, too many attacks, too much arguing, and too little conversation about matters important to Poles, and this meeting concerned matters important to Poles and moving forward and development - he continued. - If you are asking whether it concerned a technical government, no, that meeting did not have it on its agenda. But if you ask us as politicians of Law and Justice what we think about Donald Tusk, any day is a good day for Donald Tusk's resignation - he went on to say. - Our proposal, as Law and Justice [...] to talk with parliamentary forces to dismiss this government, which is bad for Poland, is still relevant - he added.

12:07

Hołownia Speaks Out:

We Need to Cut This Short.
- I want to dispel all the doubts that have been growing over the past few hours. We need to cut this short, clearly and distinctly, and describe where we are. I want to say, with all my might, clearly and distinctly: I want to, I can, and I will meet and talk with anyone, if the conversation concerns matters important to Poland, matters that transcend party divisions, because we find ourselves in a difficult situation, and such a conversation is a necessity today, regardless of the borders that divide various kinds of party or political tribes – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm. - Such a conversation across divides is not merely advisable, it is often necessary, because many of these matters, such as security and Poland's international standing, are simply shared by all voters of all affiliations, which is why we must talk about them – he continued.

12:08

Hołownia Admits: The Meeting Place I Accepted Was a Mistake
- I want to be clear, yes, I admit, the meeting place I accepted was a mistake. Next time, I will certainly choose the meeting places I hold more carefully, also knowing what emotions it evokes - Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference in the Sejm. - But I repeat, it wasn't the fact of the conversation itself [that was a mistake], because a conversation, even with representatives of the opposition, has a right, especially in the case of the Marshal of the Sejm, and it should take place - he continued.

12:09

Hołownia on talks regarding a new coalition:

We are not negotiating.
- I have never received a proposal to be Prime Minister from anyone, in any coalition format. I have never received a proposal from anyone, in any existing or imagined coalition format, to continue my mission as Marshal of the Sejm after November 13, 2025. We, nor Poland 2050, are conducting any negotiations about any other coalition, and I want to state this very clearly - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

12:13

Hołownia:

I Met with Kaczyński Twice
- I met with Mariusz Błaszczak, Marek Suski, Janusz Kowalski, and Jarosław Kaczyński, as you know, twice. The first of these meetings took place at 1:00 PM. I am not attached to the idea of meetings with opposition representatives late in the evening - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm. - The second took place between 9:30 PM and 11:30 PM, at the end of what was then a rather intense workday for me, also because the first one wasn't concluded, as I had to leave earlier for family obligations - he continued.

12:16

Hołownia:

Poland of 2023 No Longer Exists. Those Expectations, Emotions, Hopes Are Gone. The Coalition Must Restart
- Poland of 2023 no longer exists. Those expectations, emotions, hopes, most of them are gone, they haven't been met, new ones have appeared, new threats have emerged. Today, the October 15th coalition must deeply restart. That's why I was shouting and appealing for a dialogue on the coalition agreement - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm. - It's truly not about positions. It's about us being able to explain what we are doing, how we are doing it, and where we want to lead people - he continued.

12:16

Hołownia on a technical government:

We are not interested.
- Every time [PiS] comes with the same idea for many weeks. I take it very seriously, and I have no problem with it; various political forces propose various political ideas. However, I say clearly: we are not interested [in appointing a technical government] - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

12:19

Hołownia Announces Next Meeting on Government Reshuffle
Today we are participating, tomorrow there is another meeting, in talks about the reconstruction of Donald Tusk's cabinet, because we want this cabinet to be as effective as possible, organized in such a way that each of the political groups will have the opportunity to fulfill the hope they gave their voters over the next 2 years – stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

12:20

Hołownia:

We are in politics to finally make public media objective and reliable
- We are in politics not to be in this or that coalition or in this or that government, but precisely to finally make public media objective and reliable, to finally clear up the situation in the State Treasury Companies, to make education safe, and for people with disabilities to finally have assistance - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

12:22

Hołownia:

We Will Fight for a Deputy Prime Minister Position for Poland 2050
- We will fight for it, of course, although it is not written into the coalition agreement, but we consider it natural, for a Deputy Prime Minister position for Poland 2050. That is why I believe it is natural that Poland 2050 will have a Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, which I will not be - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

12:24

Hołownia Announces Signing of Document Convening the National Assembly:

The matter is clear to me.
- Today I will sign the already prepared document on convening the National Assembly, the resolution on the NA, which I hope will be published today. The matter is clear to me, the Prime Minister has published the resolution of the Extraordinary Control Chamber of the Supreme Court - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

12:33

Hołownia:

We are not discussing a change of Prime Minister today
- Donald Tusk faces a formidable challenge now, and we agreed, by choosing him and designating him as Prime Minister, that we want to help him in this challenge, because this is a government that we are all entering - Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference in the Sejm.

- Now, at this difficult moment, when these one and a half years of government have shown that many things have been done, but also many have not been done, that we often miss people's expectations, that people are heading in a different direction today, Donald Tusk faces the immense task of arranging this coalition tool, which is the government, [...] so that it works and not fails for the next two years - he continued.

- That is why we are participating in the reconstruction of this government, asking the Prime Minister to present his solutions, to present his ideas. We are not discussing a change of Prime Minister today, we are discussing how to make this government, which is not the most liked by Poles, a government that will bring hope to people - he went on to say.

12:45

Tusk with the Dutch Prime Minister:

Today, every conversation, every meeting, every decision confirming NATO’s durability is a success.
- Today, every conversation, every meeting, every decision that confirms NATO’s durability, the durability of our allies’ commitments, is a success, and in the face of threats from conflicts, wars – which we deal with every day here in Poland – the fact that our allies, both in Europe and on the other side of the Atlantic, are still ready to respect everything that is the essence of NATO, was also truly very important for us – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof.

12:49

Talk with Kaczyński about Remaining Sejm Marshal? Hołownia: There Was No Such Discussion
- No. There was no such discussion - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm, when asked if his meeting with Jarosław Kaczyński included a discussion about him remaining in the Sejm Marshal's seat.

12:52

Tusk:

Practically No One Can Get Through the Polish Barrier
- We have achieved extraordinary results, meaning that despite the fact that not only smugglers but also Belarusian special services are involved on the other side, we have reduced illegal crossings along several hundred kilometers by 98%. Practically no one can get through the Polish barrier, through the Polish defense thanks to the gigantic effort of soldiers, the Border Guard, the Polish state, our money, and the local residents – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof. - All of this will make no sense if other external EU borders are not guarded in the same way, which is why we have introduced temporary checks at the border with Lithuania – he continued.

12:54

Tusk:

Resumption of controls on the Lithuanian border produced results on the first day
- The resumption of controls on the Lithuanian border produced results on the first day. An Estonian citizen was detained who was transporting Afghan citizens who were illegally attempting to cross the Polish-Lithuanian border - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof.

12:57

The Matter Has Been Brewing for Many Months. We Had a Very Wide Divergence of Opinions on Various Issues.' Hołownia on Zimoch's Suspension
- MP Zimoch was suspended yesterday by the club's presidium, and the moment is what it is, but I also need to tell you clearly that the matter has been brewing for many, many months. The cooperation, to put it bluntly, was not going well; we had a very wide divergence of opinions with MP Zimoch on various issues - Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference in the Sejm, when asked about the suspension of Tomasz Zimoch. - I have great respect for Tomek, I think he is a really great, creative person with immense sensitivity [...] but he was never a member of our party [...] he is a wonderful commentator of team games, but when it comes to being in a team game, it's been a mixed bag - he continued. - I believe this is a good decision, I believe this is the decision we should have made, to give Tomek time to ask himself whether he wants to continue in this team or not - he went on to say.

12:58

Tusk:

There is no reason to unleash xenophobic, racist, aggressive behavior
- The scale was not large, you know well that politicians from some parties want to abuse and exploit this. This is a problem in both the Netherlands and Poland, in fact, throughout Europe. There is no reason to unleash xenophobic, racist, aggressive behavior. We must respect that the Polish state will effectively verify each such case. We will apply adequate measures - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof.

13:01

Tusk:

Impersonating State Services and Obstructing Activities Will Be Severely Punished
We will apply adequate measures. Border crossings will be covered by this critical infrastructure principle, SG and police officers have clear orders - to react firmly to any attempts to disrupt border control, and particularly impersonating state services and obstructing activities will be severely punished. This will include fines, but if necessary, also direct coercive measures and detentions - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a meeting with Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof.

13:05

Hołownia on Border Checks:

Perhaps We Should Have Done This Earlier.
- I don't have that impression. I just think perhaps we should have done this earlier, so as not to give people the feeling that some militias of unknown origin can replace state structures - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm, when asked if border checks weren't giving in to the narrative of the far-right. - A citizen must have the feeling that if they find themselves in a situation, I don't know, at the border, stopped for a check, that sort of thing, then that person has an eagle on their cap and represents the state. The Polish state with all its tools. This is the foundation of a sense of security. So I believe we need to talk very clearly and firmly with those who today are trying to duplicate state structures within some voluntary formations - he continued. - If Minister Siemoniak, in whom I have full confidence, recommended such a decision to the Prime Minister, it means he had very strong reasons for it, and that's exactly how it should happen - he went on to say.

13:09

Hołownia on Meeting with Nawrocki in the Sejm:

It Will Definitely Happen.
- I met with Karol Nawrocki on the sidelines of the National Security Council [...] we talked [...] for 15, maybe 20 minutes, but I invited President Nawrocki for a meeting before the swearing-in ceremony here, in the Sejm, meaning in July - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.

- We are only finalizing the schedules and calendars there; such a meeting will definitely take place, a longer, calm meeting, because there is no time for it on the day of the swearing-in itself - he continued.

13:10

Duda with the President of the Czech Republic:

Russian Imperialism Must Be Stopped.
- This is our shared view. We support Ukraine; we have no doubts that Russian imperialism must be stopped and that Vladimir Putin cannot win this war, and everything must be done to ensure this happens. Here, both the President and I see the significant role that we, as the European community, should play in this, and of course, by building cooperation with the USA in this regard, on partnership principles, striving to the greatest extent possible to create such a balance in terms of security and defense potential at the transatlantic level - stated President Andrzej Duda in the Czech Republic.

13:22

Duda:

I am grateful to all our compatriots who support border defense
- Indeed, it seems there was no other choice [but to introduce border controls], but the Polish-German border must also be guarded very consistently and very strongly, so that there is no situation where the German side, in turn, illegally pushes migrants to the Polish side - stated President Andrzej Duda in the Czech Republic. - Poles are very sensitive to this. We know that a civil guard has been established because people have concluded that the guarding of the western border is insufficient. I am grateful to all our compatriots who support border defense. Because in my opinion, this is essentially civil support for the Border Guard, while the government should primarily take concrete actions and ensure that citizens feel adequately secured - he continued.

14:13

PiS Rejects Combining Wind Turbine Issue with Energy Shield, Submits Own Bill:

We Oppose Legislative Blackmail.
- Today, the Law and Justice Parliamentary Club submitted a draft of the energy shield, meaning a bill based on which we aim to reinstate the energy shield, to prevent energy price increases. I will go further, to ensure energy prices are favorable enough not to hinder economic growth, and not to pose a challenge for households - stated Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference. - We oppose legislative blackmail, and we encountered such legislative blackmail in the case of the bill passed by the Sejm, which combined the issue of wind turbines with the energy shield - he continued. PiS proposes maximum prices: PLN 412/MWh for households and PLN 500/MWh for entrepreneurs, local governments, and public utility facilities.

14:16

Błaszczak:

I Appreciate Marshal Hołownia's Stance. I Believe He Will Withstand the Attacks
- I appreciate Marshal Hołownia's stance, because Marshal Hołownia wants to talk and talks with all parliamentary clubs - Mariusz Błaszczak said at a press conference. - I appreciate it even more because he has exposed himself to such attacks from the Silni Razem (Strong Together) coalition and media associated with Donald Tusk, but I believe he will withstand these attacks - he continued.

14:20

Bochenek:

Attacks on the Sejm Speaker Prove Coalition Leaders Lack Trust in Each Other
- What surprises me most are the sentiments within the current coalition, because this aggression and these attacks on the Sejm Speaker, who of course has the right to meet with the leader of any parliamentary club, are truly surprising, as they only prove that the leaders of the current coalition lack trust in each other – Rafał Bochenek stated at a press conference.

14:24

Błaszczak:

Restoring Border Controls Won't Solve the Problem of German Services Trafficking Illegal Migrants
- This problem [at the border] concerns the trafficking of migrants by German services into our country. Denmark or Luxembourg do not accept these migrants trafficked by the Germans, and Polish services have not received such an order. Therefore, it appears that restoring controls on the Polish side will not solve the fundamental problem we are facing, which is the trafficking of illegal migrants by German services – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

14:32

PiS Announces First Meeting of Parliamentary Group for Border Defense Movement with Bąkiewicz's Participation
- I would like to thank very warmly the Chairman of the Law and Justice Parliamentary Club, Mariusz Błaszczak, because thanks to his kindness, the Parliamentary Group for the Border Defense Movement will meet with you, with Poles, this coming Wednesday, July 9th at 4 PM in the Column Hall, at a meeting with, among others, Mr. Robert Bąkiewicz, the leader of this movement, and other Polish patriots - said Janusz Kowalski at a press conference. - The first meeting of the Parliamentary Group for the Border Defense Movement with the participation of Robert Bąkiewicz, a great Polish patriot - he continued.

14:36

Mentzen on Designating Border Crossings as Critical Infrastructure:

The Government Wants to Hide What's Happening at the Border.
"Tusk announced that all border crossings with Germany will be designated as critical infrastructure. This means a ban on filming and photographing them," Sławomir Mentzen wrote on X. "Why? The government wants to hide from Poles what is happening at the border; Germany is to transfer immigrants to us in such a way that we won't even be able to find out about it. Instead of defending our border against Germany and immigrants, Tusk is fighting Poles who want to protect us!" - he continued.

15:25

Bosak on Government's Decision:

No One Has Ever Won Against Bottom-Up Polish Mobilization.
Decisions regarding the ban on drone flights near the border, the establishment of a ban on photographing border crossings, and aggressive rhetoric towards Poles monitoring the border situation unfortunately form a coherent whole: the government wants to fight not against German abuses, but against concerned Poles - wrote Krzysztof Bosak on social media. This is an unwise decision – no one has ever won against bottom-up Polish mobilization. The enforcement of these decisions will raise the level of social conflict and strengthen suspicions that the government is quietly capitulating to German pressure and abuses. And what is happening at the border ultimately cannot be hidden anyway - he stated.

19:55

Mentzen:

We Will Organize Dozens of Anti-Immigration Pickets on the Same Day, at the Same Hour
- I invite everyone on July 19th at 12:00 PM to anti-immigration pickets, organized by Confederation across Poland. We will organize dozens of pickets on the same day, at the same hour, throughout Poland. These are pickets against immigration, against the direction in which all of this is heading - stated Sławomir Mentzen in a recording published on social media.

20:02

Mentzen:

Polish Authorities Have No Idea How Many Migrants Germany is Funneling Our Way
- We have the data I'm referring to from the Germans, meaning the Polish authorities have no clue how many migrants Germany is sending our way. Simply put, we don't have such statistics. Even when you hear Polish government politicians, they cite German data - stated Sławomir Mentzen in a recording published on social media.

20:06

Mentzen:

Germany Doesn't Care What Tusk Thinks About Them
- Germany doesn't care at all what Donald Tusk thinks about them, and nothing is changing in this regard. What's more, it's evident that they are increasingly preparing to send even more illegal migrants to Poland - stated Sławomir Mentzen in a recording published on social media.

20:13

Mentzen:

Crime is Rising. People from All Over the World are Coming to Poland and Murdering Poles, and the Government is Doing Nothing
- Crime is on the rise; people from all over the world are coming to Poland and murdering Poles, and the Polish government is doing nothing about it. Instead, the National Prosecutor is threatening to prosecute people who try to prevent illegal migrants from entering Poland here – stated Sławomir Mentzen in a recording published on social media. - To be clear – I would like Polish services to be in charge of controlling our border, for the Polish state to guard security on Poland's border with Germany, for the Polish state to prevent Germans from transferring illegal migrants, but unfortunately, the Polish state is not functioning – he continued.

Visit to Bielan's Home and a Chat with Kaczyński? Petru: It's Obvious One Doesn't Attend Such Meetings. I Was Shocked.
- It's obvious one doesn't attend such meetings - Ryszard Petru stated in a conversation with Dorota Wysocka-Schnepf on TVP Info's "Question of the Day," when asked if he would go to a meeting at Adam Bielan's home, at midnight, with Jarosław Kaczyński, should he be invited. - Poland doesn't need to be saved right now, because we have a majority in the Sejm and are in the process of reconstruction [...] I believe there is an issue that needs discussing with Jarosław Kaczyński, and that is the incidental bill [...] in the Sejm, in the spotlight, individual caucuses enter and exit, we are looking for a solution - he continued. - I was shocked that Marshal Hołownia was there, it's good that he had a press conference today and admitted it was a mistake - he went on to say.

Petru:

At most two people from Poland 2050 would consider changing alliances
- I believe it was a mistake to even hold talks with PiS. I believe that this is not an attempt to change alliances, because it is even unrealistic, as in the Poland 2050 club, I don't know if there would be two people even who would be willing to consider... at most two people would be willing, in my opinion, to consider changing alliances; the majority is democratic - said Ryszard Petru on TVP Info. - There is no possibility that Poland 2050 MPs would vote for a coalition other than the October 15th coalition. [...] I haven't heard any signal from anyone that a coalition with PiS is possible; perhaps two people think that tactically one shouldn't say "never" - he continued. - I don't know if he would be able to vote for... just ask him [...] again: there is no such topic. If there were two people, we still have these almost 30 sabers who will not vote for a PiS coalition - he continued, when asked about Michał Gramatyka, who "does not distance himself from the PiS side".

Petru:

I Believe Marshal Hołownia Never Considered Being Prime Minister
- I believe that Marshal Hołownia never considered being Prime Minister, I believe this specifically because there were never any signals from his side that he had such ambitions, and secondly, he did not have such a mandate - said Ryszard Petru on TVP Info. - Undoubtedly, Michał Kamiński wanted to persuade him into some conversation, I don't know, in some direction, which certainly was not the best - he continued.

Petru:

It was in Nawrocki's interest to appeal for a vote recount, as his mandate will be weaker
- As a citizen, I am deeply dissatisfied with this process. I believe that it was in Karol Nawrocki's interest to appeal for a vote recount, because he will have a weaker mandate due to the associated uncertainty, and that's it. There is significant discomfort, a flaw in the system, but a decision had to be made - Ryszard Petru stated on TVP Info.

Petru criticizes Zimoch's suspension:

Premature reaction, that's not how it's done.
- I would expect that if someone did not like his statement, they should have called him and, I don't know, reprimanded him for not criticizing a marshal directly in the media, or perhaps criticized the topic more, rather than the person - Ryszard Petru said on TVP Info, when asked about the suspension of Tomasz Zimoch.

- I believe this is some kind of... premature reaction, I heard it was only via SMS, without a conversation, so I think that's not how it's done - he continued.

20:50

Petru:

Let Czarzasty Be the Marshal, Hołownia Will Later Be Satisfied He Was Better
- Let's reach an agreement in the privacy of our offices as quickly as possible. Let Czarzasty be the Marshal, Szymon Hołownia will later have the satisfaction that he will probably be a significantly better Marshal than Mr. Czarzasty - said Ryszard Petru on TVP Info.

Kamiński Without the Senate Deputy Marshal Role? Petru: If He Orchestrated the Hołownia-Kaczyński Meeting, He Should Face Consequences
- Michał Kamiński should explain whether he was the initiator of this meeting, what the purpose of this meeting was, and why it leads to a conversation with PiS. I believe that if he persuaded them, if he was the orchestrator of this meeting, he should face consequences, though what those consequences should be is a decision for PSL - Ryszard Petru said on TVP Info when asked if Michał Kamiński should lose his role as Senate Deputy Marshal.
