"This is rather normality". Horała on politicians’ talks from "competing or even hostile camps"
- No, rather not [I don’t see hope for a power grab in this Sejm in the Kaczyński-Hołownia talks]. I don’t know [what they are discussing], it surprises me that it’s strange that politicians, including those from competing or even hostile camps, talk to each other from time to time. This is rather normality, and the abnormality is the lack of any communication – stated Marcin Horała in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.

07:36

Horała:

In politics, you need to talk to each other, even with opponents
- It's not surprising that in politics, you need to talk to each other, even with opponents, to understand what that opponent wants, what we disagree with - stated Marcin Horała in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

07:38

Horała on a PiS Coalition with Polska 2050 and PSL:

An Extremely Unlikely Event.
- In this parliamentary term, I assess this event [Polska 2050 and PSL entering a coalition with PiS] as extremely unlikely. I won't say it's completely impossible, because various things do happen, but it's very unlikely - stated Marcin Horała during "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

07:41

Horała:

Confederation Has Undergone an Evolution, Becoming a More Serious Party Than Before
- Of all these coalition partners, the Confederation of the Polish Crown led by Grzegorz Braun would undoubtedly be the most difficult, because it is a party whose views on many issues make my eyes widen considerably, for instance, when I hear that we essentially have no problem with Russia, as it is a country fundamentally friendly to us and not making any claims against Poland, etc. Confederation, yes, Confederation has undoubtedly also undergone a certain evolution, becoming a more serious party than before - stated Marcin Horała in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

07:46

Horała:

I'd Prefer PiS Stronger in a Coalition Than Weaker
I'd prefer PiS to be stronger in a coalition than weaker. So if it were stronger, for example, with a theoretically weak PSL, I would prefer such a coalition over one with a strong Confederation, because then we can implement more of our program, have influence on more matters. And vice versa – if the Confederation were weak and the PSL strong, I would prefer a weak Confederation – stated Marcin Horała in TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

07:47

Horała:

The Base Scenario is an Independent Majority – That's What We're Striving For
- The base scenario is an independent majority – that's what we're striving for. However, if we don't manage to achieve it, I would at least sit down for talks with anyone, except for Civic Platform (PO). We would see what they want, where we can meet, what common elements there might be – stated Marcin Horała in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

07:48

Horała:

I am among those being considered for roles in the Presidential Chancellery
- I am neither confirming nor denying [whether he received a job offer in the Presidential Palace] because if I did or did not, these were private conversations with the president-elect, for which I do not have authorization - stated Marcin Horała on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - I am among those undoubtedly being considered for roles in the Presidential Chancellery - he said.

Tusk During Crisis Staff Meeting:

We Will Be Constantly Meeting and Coordinating Actions in the Coming Days.
"We will also be constantly meeting and coordinating actions in the coming days. And of course, wherever there is a need, I count on your presence on the ground, in those places that we will try to monitor directly, if such a need arises. We've had a sleepless night behind us, thank you for the constant information, monitoring the situation, and informing about the actions that had to be taken last night" - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a crisis staff meeting at the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

08:12

Tusk during the crisis staff meeting:

At this moment, we will await precise information regarding potential events.
At this moment, we will await precise information regarding potential events, we will begin traditionally with the weather forecast. We have concluded that the most important thing is to take proactive measures to prevent potential tragedies. Thank you for such early and effective mobilization of our services and the army - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the crisis staff meeting at the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

I know that such redeployment has occurred in many places, and I can count on the presence of the Fire Brigade, police officers, and the army in those locations where we have justified concerns, hopefully not entirely, that our help will be needed immediately - he continued.

08:16

Tusk During Crisis Staff Meeting:

I Urge Full Mobilization, We Must Be Ready for Any Scenario.
I urge such full mobilization. Even if this night, although of course for those who were in the field, was full of tension and anticipation for the need for intervention, this night did not abound in dramatic events, but as we know, the weather situation is not stable and we must be ready for any scenario – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a crisis staff meeting at the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

08:19

Tusk Urges Caution: 'Let's Not Allow Ourselves Optimistic Interpretations of Forecasts That Don't Sound Alarming Right Now'
- We have experience from the time just before that September flood, and I would very much ask that we do not allow ourselves optimistic interpretations of forecasts that do not sound alarming right now. Back then, you remember, literally a day before the dramatic events, these forecasts did not sound pessimistic, and some people drew false conclusions from that, because such forecasts can demobilize - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a crisis management meeting at the Ministry of Interior and Administration. - So, also from the nightly information I received, there is no doubt that the threat of local, but possibly severe, events exists and will continue to persist. Therefore, even if the information about the amount of rainfall, such summary information, is not extraordinary in a negative sense, I would very much want this to also reach all services at the local level, to the voivodes, that at any moment, especially in the foothill areas, obviously, severe, dramatic events can occur, where help will be immediately needed - he continued.

08:30

He Was Offered a Technical Government, He Refused. Mucha on Hołownia and the Details of His Meeting with Kaczyński
- Of course, the place and time [of the Hołownia-Kaczyński meeting] were absolutely inadequate, and we, as politicians, should not organize meetings in such places and at such times - said Joanna Mucha in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the program "Gość Radia Zet". - I have the impression that there, at that meeting, he acted more in the role of the Marshal of the Sejm than the party leader. [...] The main part of the conversation, however, concerned Ukraine and the United States and relations. From what Szymon tells us, and he told us quite precisely how the conversation went, these were mainly the topics - she continued. - There was a brief [...] he was offered a technical government, I don't know the details, I don't know who was supposed to be the prime minister of this technical government, I don't know if it was discussed, but Szymon unambiguously refused [...] there isn't a single person in Polska 2050 who would raise their hand for such a government - she added, when asked if there was also a discussion about a technical government.

08:32

Mucha:

I am convinced the coalition will last until the end of its term because there is no alternative
- I am convinced that it will last because there is no other alternative. There is no other, alternative government, and an alternative government will not be formed before 2027 - said Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet, when asked if the coalition would last until the end of its term.

08:40

Mucha on Hiring Pełczyńska-Nałęcz's Daughter in Poland 2050:

This Shouldn't Have Happened.
- I wasn't aware of this employment, and many people in the party weren't aware of this employment [...] I don't think we should involve our family in public activities, I'll say that unequivocally - Joanna Mucha stated on Radio Zet, when asked about Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz hiring her daughter in the party. - In my opinion, this shouldn't have happened - she continued, when asked if Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz made a mistake. - These are no longer my decisions [...] I think Katarzyna should make such a decision herself - she went on, when pressed on whether Pełczyńska-Nałęcz's daughter should lose her position.

08:43

Ociepa:

It would be in the opposition's interest for this government to continue and rot. But PiS is following the interest of the state and wants a technical government
- We all know, and Poles are showing this in polls, that with this leader, with this prime minister, there will be no effectiveness. The government and the coalition are preoccupied with themselves. It's like a ball on the Titanic. The Titanic is already sinking, and the music is still playing for them - said Marcin Ociepa in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News's "Graffiti". - However, this brings me no joy at all. I hope that either Donald Tusk will resign and make a completely new opening, or, if he is not capable of doing so, a constructive vote of no confidence will simply occur, leading to the formation of a technical government within this term and possibly early elections - he continued. - Wishful thinking would be for this government to continue and rot. That is the opposition's interest today – for this government, with this leadership, to last as long as possible, until the next election, because it will end up like AWS, not even crossing the electoral threshold. […] This is in PiS's interest. But in the interest of the Polish state – and the United Right will follow this path – is for Poland to have the best possible government - he stated. - For now, it is a technical government, which we are appealing for, so that pro-state forces build a majority around a technical government as soon as possible - he added.

08:45

Mucha on the Exchange Between Poland 2050's Account and Izabela Bodnar on X:

That Tweet from Our Side Was Unnecessary and Stupid.
- That tweet from our side was absolutely unnecessary. I am very grateful to Iza for her cooperation and her commitment; she is a true political fighter - Joanna Mucha said on Radio Zet, when asked about the exchange on X between Izabela Bodnar and the official Poland 2050 profile, during which the MP was accused of a conflict of interest.

- That tweet from our side was unnecessary and stupid - she continued.

08:50

Mucha:

Zimoch Doesn't Play as a Team, Almost the Entire Club Believes He Weakened the Team. The Decision to Suspend Him Was Considered for About a Year
- Not because he criticized the leader, this decision to suspend Tomek Zimoch is a decision that has been considered for, I think, a good year, truly a very, very long time. Tomek doesn't play as a team, he really doesn't play as a team [...] this is the opinion of a large part of the club, almost the entire club, that Tomek, unfortunately, has weakened our team a bit, let's put it very delicately - said Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

08:56

Tusk During Crisis Staff Meeting:

The Only Principle We Will Follow.
- The only principle we will follow today is the principle of 'a wise Pole before the damage'. We have every chance today, thanks to full mobilization, knowledge, and past experiences, including negative ones, to prevent the negative consequences of this heavy rainfall everywhere in Poland, and I hope this motto will guide all of you, from morning to evening and through the night. We must above all focus on countermeasures, on preventing any unfortunate events. We are well prepared for this – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a crisis staff meeting at the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

08:56

A Joint List for Poland 2050 and The Left? Mucha: We Are Too Far Apart Ideologically. We Will Run Independently
- No, we are too far apart ideologically to be able to form such a list. We are a centrist party, clearly a centrist party, so I do not expect this kind of contortions - said Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet, when asked if she could imagine a joint list of Poland 2050 and The Left in the elections.

- We will run independently, I am convinced of that - she continued.

08:57

Ociepa:

I'm Glad Chairman Kaczyński Explained the Interest of the Republic to Hołownia
- Szymon Hołownia is in such a specific role that he constantly poses as a statesman and would like to be the one who thinks only of the interest of the Republic. Well, I'm glad that Chairman Jarosław Kaczyński explained the interest of the Republic to him, also showing, as it turns out, historical analogies. But he explained to him where we are, how individual sectors of the state's life are dying or suffering tangible damage as a result of this government's actions - said Marcin Ociepa in "Graffiti" on Polsat News. - Of course, he is a much more experienced politician, including from state offices, and he can show Szymon Hołownia that he is only playing the role of a useful tool in Donald Tusk's hands, maintaining his power, in a situation where this government is not acting in the interest of Polish women and men - he stated.

09:03

Ociepa:

Hołownia Faces a Historic Choice – Does He Want to Be the One Who Stayed on the Titanic Until the End, or Build a New Beginning?
- Szymon Hołownia faces a historic choice: does he want to be remembered as the one who stayed on the sinking Titanic until the end, taking responsibility for its demise, because the low ratings of this government don't come from nowhere, or will he want to build a new formula, a new opening for the Polish parliament and the Polish government – said Marcin Ociepa in Polsat News' "Graffiti".

09:08

Ociepa:

The Right's Return to Power is Almost a Foregone Conclusion
- The right's return to power is almost a foregone conclusion. Now we should do everything to ensure it is the best possible government when we return to power - said Marcin Ociepa in "Graffiti" Polsat News. - The point is that we are appealing today to everyone who has Poland in their heart, who has a pro-state approach, to honestly look at what this government is doing and what it is not doing, and to consider whether an alternative, better majority is possible for our homeland. Szymon Hołownia must answer this question for himself - he continued.

09:21

Ociepa:

Government Learned Lessons from Last Flood in Terms of Communication. I Hope Decisions Follow
- Certainly, the government has learned lessons from the failure during the last flood, both the communication failure and, more importantly, the organizational failure. Because then the government failed. […] Today, the government is indeed showing communication-wise that it is ready for this flood - said Marcin Ociepa in “Graffiti” Polsat News. - I hope that political and managerial decisions will also follow – that the forces and means of the rescue and firefighting system will finally be used at a level adequate to the threat, as well as in the case of the Territorial Defence Force or other uniformed formations. This was not the case during the last flood - he continued.

10:00

Śliz:

I'm Deactivating the Crisis Team in Poland 2050. I Don't See a Threat of Further Departures
- I am deactivating the crisis team. The situation is becoming stable. I am already in talks with all the MPs. We are not planning, I don't see any threat at the moment that there could be any further departures. I don't think it will be a series – stated Paweł Śliz in "24 pytania" on PR24. - Izabela Bodnar has left. I thanked her for her work, I thanked her for the year and a half we spent together in the Sejm, I wish her success in her further parliamentary work – he continued. - I am a very conciliatory person; it was she [Izabela Bodnar] who submitted her resignation, just to be clear. However, I thought it was necessary to talk to her, perhaps I didn't like the style, that it shouldn't have been done in that order. I believe there is a certain mutual elegance, and I also expressed my reservations in this regard, but I think we parted ways in an elegant manner – he continued.

10:02

Śliz:

Poland 2050 is the Most Loyal Coalition Partner
- We are Poland 2050, we have the right to hold different views than our coalition partners. However, out of all the coalition partners, we are the most loyal, because the Left has protested government legislation, for instance, the bill on changes to health contributions, or has even directly attacked coalition partners, the Marshal, on social media. I remember that inelegant post by Anna Maria-Żukowska, and then she had to run to the Marshal with flowers to apologize – stated Paweł Śliz in "24 questions" on PR24.

10:03

Śliz:

People are Tired of the Duopoly
- I believe that this duopoly has emerged in Poland, and at the meetings we participated in, people spoke about it, saying they were tired of the constant fighting between Platforma and PiS, PiS and Platforma. PiS doesn't exist without Platforma, and Platforma doesn't exist without PiS. I fully stand by that. Please note how the voters' ballots were distributed in the first round. They clearly served as a warning that people are tired of the duopoly that existed - said Paweł Śliz in "24 pytania" on PR24.

10:06

Śliz:

Poland 2050 is not to blame for Trzaskowski's election loss
I must disagree, because this demonstrates a failure to draw conclusions about the reasons for Rafał Trzaskowski's election loss. This is not the stance of Poland 2050, nor is it the stance of any of the coalition partners. Each party puts forward its own candidate, and in the first round, that candidate was a fellow competitor in the race for the presidency. It was a normal election campaign conducted by each of these parties - stated Paweł Śliz in "24 Questions" on PR24.

10:07

Śliz:

Where are the Rule of Law Acts We've Been Talking About?
- Where are the rule of law acts we've been talking about all the time? Where is the reform of the justice system, the judiciary, the separation of the Minister of Justice from the Prosecutor General? - stated Paweł Śliz in "24 questions" on PR24.

10:11

Śliz:

I Was Also Invited to Meetings Regarding a Technical Government
- I was also invited to meetings regarding a technical government. However, I did not attend, I was not present, nor did I speak. There is no possibility of a technical government with Law and Justice. Polska 2050, our leader, and each of us cannot imagine cooperating with Law and Justice - stated Paweł Śliz in "24 Questions" on PR24.

10:22

PiS Initiates Commemoration of Volhynia Massacre Victims:

We would like to give all parliamentarians this symbol.
- Together with parliamentarians from the Law and Justice Parliamentary Club and with the Mayor of Chełm, Mr. Jakub Banaszek, we wanted to present our joint initiative concerning the commemoration of the victims of the Volhynia massacre - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference. - On July 11, we will celebrate a state holiday, during which we especially remember the victims of the genocide committed by Ukrainian nationalists. This is the day of the so-called Bloody Sunday, which took place on July 11, 1943. This is a holiday that requires reflection, and it also requires us to call for remembrance for those who were murdered simply because they were Polish - he continued. - Today, we would like to present all parliamentarians with this symbol, a symbol of remembrance for the victims, namely the flax flower [...] this pin will be given to all parliamentarians from all parliamentary clubs - he added.

10:33

Błaszczak on the Museum of Volhynian Massacre Victims:

Initiative Enters Implementation Phase.
- Next Friday, an important event will take place in Chełm; it is an initiative by Mr. President Jakub Banaszek, an initiative that was undertaken during the Law and Justice government, and is now entering its implementation phase. The initiative concerns the construction of a museum dedicated to the victims of the Volhynian massacre, as well as the Lech Kaczyński Center for Righteousness and Reconciliation - Mariusz Błaszczak said at a press conference.

10:39

Błaszczak:

Project to Criminalize the Promotion of Banderite Symbols is Stuck in Committee
- We also remind about our initiative to amend the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance. The parliamentary club of Law and Justice prepared such an amendment many months ago. Unfortunately, this project got stuck in the Committee for Justice and Human Rights. This project assumes equating Banderism with German National Socialism and Russian Communism. It also assumes criminalization in situations where Banderite symbols are used or promoted – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

11:11

Szefernaker on the Head of the Chancellery:

As Soon As Nawrocki Returns from Holiday, He Will Hold Talks.
- President Nawrocki spoke about the fact that there are four candidates for the head of the chancellery, and I am convinced that in the coming days, at the latest within a week or weeks, this information will be presented - Paweł Szefernaker said in the program “Poranny Ring” of Super Express. - Minister Czarnek was, and is, a very good candidate for the head of the chancellery, but as the President said - there are four candidates, and they are being considered, and talks are underway - he continued. - President Nawrocki, as the media also reported, having been captured in photos, is currently still on holiday for a few more days. As soon as he returns from his holiday, he will talk with further individuals, candidates, as well as with colleagues, and these decisions will be made - he stated.

11:13

Coalition Loses Vote on NFZ Financial Plan:

So Weak They Didn't Even Dare Support It Themselves.
Civic Platform (PO) lacked the strength to support its own proposal... it lost the vote. The parliamentary Health Committee rejected the National Health Fund (NFZ) financial plan for 2026: riddled with holes, insufficient for the needs of patients right from the start - wrote PiS MP Katarzyna Sójka on social media. They can't even organize their own majority, yet they want to "save" healthcare. A circus without a script. The NFZ financial plan prepared by the Ministry of Health leadership is so weak that they themselves didn't dare to support it - she emphasized. The Health Committee gave a negative opinion on the NFZ financial plan for 2026. The coalition's disarray is now complete, and some coalition partners' smiles after the voting results are very wide - wrote PiS MP Janusz Cieszyński in turn.

11:36

Szefernaker:

If the Government Disregards Nawrocki's Mandate, It Will Be Unable to Achieve Its Goals
- I am convinced that on fundamental issues, this agreement is necessary, and talks concerning security, Polish foreign policy, must be respected in terms of what the President has established. The President ran on a specific platform and holds specific convictions. Poles have given their support to this program - said Paweł Szefernaker in the "Morning Ring" program on Super Express. - Many people say that the President lacks prerogatives related to various issues, that the President has no tools. However, he has a very powerful tool. The President, with a record turnout in the Third Polish Republic, over 70%, received support that is a very strong mandate for the coming years - stated the future head of President Nawrocki's cabinet. - This is not a situation where it is the end of the presidency, [...] he has very strong political support, and the government must reckon with this political support. If it does not reckon with it, then there will not be good cooperation, and the government will also not be able to achieve its goals - he indicated. - If the government wants to cooperate with the President, it must very strongly consider the President's opinion. There are many Polish ambassadors worldwide, so I think this is a matter of cooperation and the will to cooperate. The government must consider that the presidential candidate ran with a clear message, and this message gained the support of the majority of Poles who went to the polls - he continued.

11:44

Szefernaker:

I am convinced this presidency sparks great hope among Poles, and Nawrocki will meet these expectations
- I am convinced that this presidency sparks great hope among Poles as well, and I am confident that President Nawrocki will meet these expectations. Poles want the government, even today, in cooperation with the president, to implement various projects, such as the one concerning CPK (Central Communication Port) - said Paweł Szefernaker in the program „Poranny Ring” on Super Express.

11:54

Błaszczak on Declassifying Poland's Defense Plan:

If I Had to Reconsider This Decision Again, It Would Be the Same.
- I've just learned that the military prosecutor's office is again, such a surge today regarding the Vistula line. That they are probably preparing to transfer these materials to court. I was charged for declassifying precisely these archival materials concerning Poland's defense on the Vistula and making them public [...] I did this so that the current government could not return to its solution, to its idea from 2011 - said Mariusz Błaszczak during the opening of the conference "Truth and Memory about the Augustów Roundup". - When the military prosecutor brought charges against me, you know, ladies and gentlemen, what the charge was, that I had political gain from it [...]. If anyone benefited from it, it was the state, the residents of this part of our homeland, which is located east of the Vistula - he continued. - I will stand with dignity and pride when I am summoned and I will say that if I had to reconsider making this decision again, it would be the same decision - he went on to say.

11:58

Czarzasty Sets New Government Reshuffle Date:

At Hołownia’s Request
- He motivated this by the need to sort out various matters within his circle. The date for announcing this [government reshuffle] will be postponed by a week. I am clearly stating, at Marshal Hołownia’s request. Of course, this request has been accepted by us. Most likely [July 22] - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

11:59

Czarzasty:

There Is No Discussion About Changing the Coalition Agreement, and There Won't Be
- There is no discussion at this moment about changing the coalition agreement, and there won't be - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

11:59

Czarzasty on Strong Ministries:

They Will Consolidate Matters Scattered Across 4 or 5 Ministries.
- It is rather heading in this direction that these will be strong ministries, and it's not even about them being super. It's about them consolidating matters currently scattered across 4 or 5 ministries. It will be more transparent - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

12:00

Błaszczak at Conference on Augustów Roundup Discusses Undermining Election Results, 'Methods Used Against the Cursed Soldiers,' and Independence
- I am speaking of this hope associated with the fact that Dr. Karol Nawrocki became the President of the Republic of Poland, even though the current rulers, even after the elections, tried to annul the will of the nation, they tried to undermine the choice our countrymen made - said Mariusz Błaszczak during the opening of the conference 'Truth and Memory of the Augustów Roundup'. - I am saying this also to show the methods; these are the same methods, perhaps less drastic, as those used in '45 and those later used against the Cursed Soldiers, against Polish patriots, against Polish heroes - he continued. - One can say that today we are experiencing the same dispute again. The same dispute concerning our future, whether Poland will be independent, whether Poland will be sovereign, whether decisions about our future will be made here, in this building, or perhaps in Berlin, or maybe in Brussels - he went on to say. - This is the choice we face every day, the choice we faced on June 1st, and I am proud that on June 1st we chose precisely this way, that the President of the Institute of National Remembrance will be the President of the Republic of Poland - he added.

12:20

President-Elect After Talking with the President of Finland:

Good Cooperation Guarantees a Secure Future.
- I would like to sincerely thank the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, for the congratulations on my election as President of the Republic of Poland and for our good conversation - wrote Karol Nawrocki on social media. - The architecture of security, allied cooperation within NATO structures, Eastern policy, and transatlantic relations, as well as cooperation in the Baltic Sea region, were the main topics of our substantive discussion. It is worth emphasizing that Finland's recent accession to NATO enhances our common security - stressed the president-elect. As Nawrocki wrote: - On the sidelines of current affairs, we also discussed history - including the Winter War, during which the brave Finnish army effectively resisted the overwhelming forces of the aggressor, the Soviet Union. Mr. President invited me to visit Finland. I hope that Alexander Stubb will visit Poland in the near future. - Good cooperation guarantees a secure future! - he added.

The Polish State Operates Effectively, Polish Borders Are Effectively Protected
- The Polish state operates effectively, Polish borders are effectively protected by uniformed services, by the Border Guard, the army, the police, by those services that are established and authorized to protect state borders, to ensure security within our homeland, and they are fulfilling this function entrusted to them by the state in a very dignified, good, professional manner - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.

Border Defense Movement and Bąkiewicz in the Sejm. Błaszczak: Thank you for your service and patriotism. Your actions are worthy of the highest respect

A session of the Parliamentary Team of the Border Defense Movement, established by PiS MPs, took place in the Sejm. The leader of the Border Defense Movement, Robert Bąkiewicz, participated in the meeting.

- I would like to thank you for your service at the border of the Republic of Poland, for your commitment and patriotism, which is expressed in this way. I extend these thanks to Robert Bąkiewicz, and I also warmly welcome each of you to the Polish Sejm and thank you - said Mariusz Błaszczak.

- I would like to sincerely thank my colleagues from the PiS parliamentary club for their activity. Last week [...] we were on Poland's western border. [...] We conducted checks in the Border Guard. The conclusion from these checks is one: the Border Guard under the rule of the 13th of December coalition is not in good shape. Lots of vacancies. When I heard that on the other side of the border there are three times more positions than on the Polish side [...] what are we telling people? - he asked.

- I asked what orders the Border Guard has. Does the Border Guard have orders not to accept those who are being brought in by the Germans? No. They have to accept them. I have no complaints about the Border Guard; they are officers, serving; they act on orders. But who issues the order? The government, the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, the Prime Minister - he indicated.

- But can Prime Minister Tusk, who is so subservient to Germany, issue an order to the Border Guard to send back migrants brought in by German services? No, he cannot, because that is the essence of his functioning. He is subservient to the Germans - he stated.

- For my part, I wanted to assure you that the PiS parliamentary club is ready to support you if legal support is needed. [...] The actions you have undertaken are worthy of the highest recognition, the highest respect. I appeal to you not to cease these actions, to continue to be active - he appealed.

17:07

Siemoniak:

If Germany Lifts Border Controls, We Will Be Ready Too
- Today, Germany is conducting its checks, we are conducting our checks, this system is simply effective. As we said, if Germany lifts its checks on the internal border, we will be ready to do the same. For now, we are on the third day of operation and we are assessing the effectiveness on the Polish side - said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference.

Duda:

28 Days Left. I'm Counting Down, They've Somehow Stopped
- Certainly one of the last [interviews], because there are 28 days left. There were those [who were counting down], now I am counting down. They have stopped, strangely enough - stated President Andrzej Duda in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński.

18:27

Duda:

Beyond telling Ukrainians 'we won't help,' there are much smarter methods – unfortunately, we didn't implement them
- Please remember that beyond simply telling Ukrainians 'no, we won't help you,' 'no, you won't get this from us,' 'no, you won't get that from us,' there are also other methods [...] much smarter ones, which could have been implemented. Unfortunately, we didn't implement them – said President Andrzej Duda in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński. - I proposed this to the government authorities several times, that certain operations be carried out. I even undertook one and actually implemented it, then my decision was changed as a result of a political decision by the current government – he continued.

18:28

Duda:

Ukrainians and our allies believe the Rzeszów airport is theirs by right. It's not; if you don't like it, we'll close it and goodbye.
- I believe there were issues where we could have shown a little more that we cannot be bypassed or overlooked, and we didn't do that, and that was a mistake – said President Andrzej Duda in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński. - For example, I believe that both Ukrainians and our allies simply think that the Rzeszów airport and our highways are owed to them, forgive me, as if they were theirs. Well, they are not theirs, they are ours. Therefore, if someone doesn't like something, we close it and goodbye, yes, we're doing renovations – he continued, when asked what exactly he meant. - We close the Rzeszów airport, and deliver to Ukraine by sea, by air, I don't know, drop by parachute, figure it out. Figure it out, if you think we are not needed by you – he went on to say.

18:29

Duda:

Poland Not Being Invited to Forums Deciding on Aid to Ukraine Via Our Territory Was a Scandal
- The fact that we were not invited to very important international forums in the meantime, where decisions were being made about delivering [aid to Ukraine] through our territory. I considered that a scandal and at one point, I admit openly, that in this respect I blocked the conclusions of the NATO summit in Vilnius - President Andrzej Duda said in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński. - I said that I do not agree to such wording, because it concerns Poland, and we were overlooked at the table. I do not agree to it being there and I blocked it, and it wasn't there. The fragment of the wording that was proposed was blocked by me. I said that I do not accept this and that's that. I will not accept these conclusions, because I believed we should have been invited to the table - he continued. - Later, after more than a year, this decision was changed - he went on to say.

18:30

Duda:

For Years, the Constitutional Tribunal Was Selected by Post-Communists or Left-Wing Liberals
- I am very sorry, but in that case, the Constitutional Tribunal has raised my doubts for the last 30 years, because each time it was elected either by post-communists or left-wing liberals. They elected the entire composition, and for years nothing could be pushed through in that tribunal because there were people with a specific ideological profile there - stated President Andrzej Duda in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński.

18:36

Duda:

If this group doesn't come to its senses and reset, all these people will have to be removed from the judiciary, without the right to retirement.
- I'll say this: if this group, among others, doesn't come to its senses and implement a reset itself, it will end with the necessity of removing all these people from the judiciary, without the right to retirement. I emphasize this. Perhaps a day will finally come when this simply has to be done. So that no future judicial generations dare to do this again - stated President Andrzej Duda in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński. - Recently, one person told me very brutally: do you know why there is so much betrayal and brazen sedition in Poland? Because no one has been hanged for treason in a long time. It's terrible, but there is truth in those words - he continued.

18:38

"This is Getting Close to Madness." Duda on "Frenzy Among Some Judges"
- Unfortunately, it will probably be necessary, if this frenzy among some judges, a frenzy in my opinion, continues to progress, because it is simply getting close to madness, what we are observing – stated President Andrzej Duda in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński.

18:43

Duda on Trump's Presence at Nawrocki's Inauguration:

There's No Such Custom.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. President Trump will likely not be coming on August 6th for the inauguration of the Polish president, because there's no such custom. The Polish president does not travel to the USA for the president's inauguration, because there's no such custom." - stated President Andrzej Duda in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński.

"I think we can expect an invitation from the White House for President Karol Nawrocki very soon after his inauguration to the office of president," he continued.

19:00

Duda:

A Generational Change in Polish Politics is Needed
- A generational change in Polish politics is needed. Simply put. Full stop. The generation of our fathers is the generation that has done its work for the Republic, often much longer than retirement age [...] that retirement age has long since arrived, and it's time to think about looking at politics with a bit of distance and making room for those who have more energy and a fresher mind - said President Andrzej Duda in a joint interview for Otwarta Konserwa, Nowy Ład, and Klub Jagielloński.

Sikorski on Hołownia’s Potential Entry into the Government:

Party Leaders Have an Unwritten Right to Become Deputy Prime Ministers.
“Of course, I can imagine [Szymon Hołownia entering the government]. It seems to me that it would be natural. Party leaders have an unwritten right to become Deputy Prime Ministers,” stated Radosław Sikorski on TVN24’s “Fakty po faktach”.

19:54

Sikorski on Cenckiewicz:

Dialogue Will Be Difficult.
- There is a certain problem here, because Mr. Non-Professor Cenckiewicz faces prosecution for breaching state secrets and does not have security clearance. It seems he considers the government to be a group of Russian spies. Well, dialogue will be difficult - stated Radosław Sikorski on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts after Facts).

20:38

Hołownia Asked About Meeting with Kaczyński:

I Absolutely Don’t Feel Like a Traitor.
- Absolutely not – said Szymon Hołownia in TVN24’s “Kropka nad i” (The Dot Over the i), when asked if he felt like a traitor to the government, his party, and coalition partners because he “went to a meeting at the enemy’s apartment.” - All this fuss stems from a certain duality, from me fulfilling two functions: Marshal of the Sejm and leader of a grouping that forms the ruling coalition. The Marshal of the Sejm has a duty to meet with the opposition, and especially with the leader of the opposition, who has 190 MPs in the Sejm. However, I admit – the meeting place should be chosen more fortunately – he conceded.

20:43

Hołownia:

First meeting with Kaczyński also took place at Bielan's, at the end of June
- Thinking about it today, we should have finished that earlier unfinished meeting with Jarosław Kaczyński after the elections, actually in my office, and then we could have had that conversation - said Szymon Hołownia in TVN24's "Kropka nad i". When asked when and where the first meeting took place, he replied: - A few weeks earlier, at 13:00, to be clear. In the same place. Yes [at Adam Bielan's]. - Hence the proposal that since I was returning at 21:00, because I was returning from Gdynia that day, the proposal was made to finish this conversation, because my calendar didn't allow for it later - he continued. When pressed for the exact date of the first meeting, he stated: - It was definitely after the elections, but I don't remember exactly what day it was. It was rather somewhere at the end of June, if I remember correctly. When asked if the first meeting also took place at Adam Bielan's, he replied: - Yes. Both the first and the second, that's why it was the same place. I said: alright, in that case, let's sort this out, let's finish this conversation. - I met him [Bielan] for the first time. We don't know each other - he admitted.

21:02

Hołownia on a technical government:

I told Kaczyński there is absolutely no possibility.
- We talked about the United States and what their relations in the USA are actually like, because they claim to have very good ones, as evidenced by Karol Nawrocki's photo with Trump - said Szymon Hołownia in TVN24's "Kropka nad i". When asked if the topic of a technical government was raised, he replied: - Yes, because in the end they always… Mariusz Błaszczak already told me about it before, Janusz Kowalski told me about it… We met before, at their request always. - This concept of a technical government keeps coming back. This proposal has landed on the table once again, and I have once again replied that there is absolutely no possibility, no room for creating any kind of technical government, because it will introduce even more chaos in Poland - he emphasized.

21:07

Hołownia:

Not Every Conversation with the Opposition is About Ousting Tusk. Primarily Because I Have No Such Plans
- My role is to maintain diplomatic channels with all parts of the political scene. Not every conversation I have with representatives of the opposition is about ousting Donald Tusk. Primarily because I have no such plans - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

21:12

Hołownia Reveals How Tusk Commented on His Meeting with Kaczyński:

Be Careful.
- We even discussed that meeting [my one with Jarosław Kaczyński], the content of that conversation, at that leaders' meeting. We sat there for 4 hours that Friday and talked… - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i". - He [Donald Tusk] told me: “Be careful with those people, because you really need to be cautious.” And then we talked about the government reconstruction - he indicated.

21:22

Hołownia:

Personally, I Recommend Pełczyńska-Nałęcz for the Position of Deputy Prime Minister
- The recommendation, which is my recommendation [for the position of Deputy Prime Minister], but it needs to be supported by my political circle, is Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz. I believe she is a very good Minister of Funds and Regional Policy. However, we are in the process of making a decision within our party - said Szymon Hołownia on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
