Jaki on Bąkiewicz:

The Whole Affair is Scandalous, and Someone Else Should Be Convicted.
- Yes [the pardon of Robert Bąkiewicz is a good decision]. Because the whole affair is scandalous, and someone else should be convicted. Let's recall that the people who were there, who were with Robert Bąkiewicz... It is not true [that he pushed an activist down the stairs] - stated Patryk Jaki in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet. - The video shows something else. An activist who was attacking the Church, let's recall that the Church is under exceptional constitutional and international legal protection, it's not as if anyone can just come and throw paint, spit, or do whatever, which was happening in Poland at that time, but most importantly, in my opinion, she was on private property at that moment. The priest designated someone to protect the Church; he has the right to do so - he continued. As Jaki said: - 
On this video, it is visible that it wasn't Bąkiewicz. Secondly, it was private property, and they were defending private property. They asked the police if, as guards, security personnel who were legally defending the place, they could then move this person. There is consent from the police; it's visible on the video, the police say: yes, you can do that. What's more, Bąkiewicz isn't there.

08:11

Jaki:

Bąkiewicz Wouldn't Need to Be at the Border If the Polish State Wasn't Acting as German Taxis
- Robert Bąkiewicz wouldn't need to be at the border at all if the Polish state wasn't acting as German taxis. Of course, I'm not a clairvoyant and I don't know what anyone's motivations are, but of one thing I am convinced – it's good that the Border Defense Movement is there, they have repeatedly caught migrants who should have been detained by the Border Guard, and that citizens are organizing… – stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

08:21

Jaki:

Germany is Pushing Migrants Our Way After Selection - That's My Hypothesis
- We all see what's happening at the border. Denying that it is very bad there, that Germany is pushing migrants our way after selection, that's my hypothesis, that they are pushing migrants our way after selection, is beyond discussion. If someone denies this, it's like denying that we are currently on Radio Zet - stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

08:35

Jaki on Duda's Presidency:

He Made a Huge Number of Mistakes.
- Her [the assessment of Andrzej Duda's presidency] is complicated, because the president is an excellent speaker, he certainly ran the office calmly, but he made a huge number of mistakes, which have cost us a lot and will continue to cost Poland a lot. For example, he blocked the judicial reform, and today he shouts in interviews about hanging judges, etc., and yet there was a moment when his own bill landed on his desk. He didn't have to shout, he could have shown it in action, by establishing the Disciplinary Chamber – stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet. - I assess the presidency, as it were, very realistically and honestly. There are things he did very well, but there are matters that, unfortunately, he botched. No, no, there are more positives than negatives – he continued.

08:36

Błaszczak:

I believe the President was guided by Bąkiewicz's patriotic stance in defending churches from barbarians
- I don't know exactly what guided the President, but I believe he was guided by Robert Bąkiewicz's patriotic stance in defending churches from an attack by barbarians. That's how I understand it - said Mariusz Błaszczak in the 'Morning Interview' on RMF FM. - I think we are splitting hairs here. It was about Robert Bąkiewicz being convicted for defending churches, for defending believers from an attack by barbarians - he continued, when asked about Zbigniew Ziobro's comment: 'I received President Andrzej Duda's decision with disbelief – the pardon in this case should not have been 'partial'.'

08:38

"We Must Call a Spade a Spade." Jaki on "that shrew Kasia"
- By defending the Church, he defended the law, legal order, religious freedom, and what that shrew Kasia was doing... Shrew Kasia. That's right. I don't agree at all, at least I don't shout what that shrew shouts. What was she shouting, what should happen to Kaczyński? Or "I'm hitting policemen with a stick"? We must call a spade a spade – stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

08:45

Photos Taken at the Border by Civil Patrols Misleading? Błaszczak: Intentions Matter
- They [civil patrols] have the right to document what is happening [...] no, they cannot legitimize [...] it is very good that the photos were taken and published, because thanks to them Donald Tusk restored border checks. Of course, this is a pretense, it is only a pretense, because illegal immigrants are still being brought over from Germany - said Mariusz Błaszczak on RMF FM. - Intentions matter - he continued, when asked about the photos that Robert Bąkiewicz withdrew after the Border Guard clarified that they showed Poland handing over migrants to the German side, not the other way around. - Donald Tusk's government did not order the services to seal the western border. [...] Is there a problem at the western border or not? If there is a problem, then Donald Tusk's government has done too little, too late, and if there is no problem, then why is Donald Tusk doing this - he went on to say.

08:51

Jaki:

Early Elections Are Possible
Yes, I mean, we are convinced that it is not a question of 'if,' but 'when' we will return to power, because the longer Tusk governs, the more evident the contrast between our government and the previous team becomes. I think there could be early elections. Yes, I believe that could happen [shortening of the Sejm's term], if the support for his government falls, the coalition partners will very seriously consider whether it makes sense to participate in this project and go down with it – stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

08:52

"Tusk's Government Sides with Infiltrators, Not Soldiers'. Błaszczak on Actions at the Prosecutor's Office
- In a situation where the border is being attacked, he [the soldier] is supposed to use his weapon. If he is paralyzed, wondering whether to use his weapon, he won't use it, and the result is that either these infiltrators will cross the border, or he himself will be attacked - Mariusz Błaszczak said on RMF FM. - The Polish state should stand behind the soldier, not behind the infiltrators. By organizing a group of prosecutors at Adam Bodnar's prosecutor's office to deal with pressing charges against a Polish soldier, Donald Tusk's government is siding with the infiltrators, not the soldiers - he continued.

08:53

Jaki:

Right-wing voters should consider who they are voting for
I don't think so [that PiS is doomed to a coalition with Konfederacja]. Of course, if there is no other way, we will talk openly, but the very fact that Konfederacja, yesterday, I think we heard from you, is considering a coalition with PO, shows that right-wing voters should consider who they are voting for – stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

08:56

Błaszczak:

Kosiniak-Kamysz Was Twice Offered the Premiership by PiS
- Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz was offered the premiership by Law and Justice at least twice; he refused, so I don't know if he is mentally ready to break free from Donald Tusk's wing - said Mariusz Błaszczak on RMF FM.

08:57

Jaki:

If You Want to Be Sure PO Won't Return to Power, It's Better to Vote for Us, Because Konfederacja is Also Considering Governing with the Civic Platform
- If Konfederacja tries to say that this and that are the same, it's one of the worst slogans in Polish politics. I will defend this. If someone wants to be sure that PO won't return to power, it's better to vote for us, because unfortunately Konfederacja is also considering the option of governing with PO, and this is an honest message, but it's worth knowing about it - stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

09:00

Jaki on Mentzen:

I Would Gladly Come If Invited.
- He [Sławomir Mentzen] didn't invite me for a beer, but I would gladly come if he invited me. Because I like to debate - stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet. - You've caught me there, because I am indeed an abstainer, I haven't drunk for years. I don't drink anything, otherwise I wouldn't have the strength to work so much - he continued.

09:00

Błaszczak:

Braun's Words on Gas Chambers Are Scandalous. He Should Be Held Accountable
- This is scandalous [...] the matter is very serious because his statements harm Poland. [...] He should be held accountable for it, I will not pass judgment, but it is very harmful to Poland. It is truly disastrous for Poland and, characteristically, it fits into German historical policy, as it is Germany that is evading responsibility, and Russian policy too, it is identical, it is convergent - said Mariusz Błaszczak on RMF FM, when asked if Grzegorz Braun should stand trial for his words about gas chambers.

09:01

Jaki:

"Platforma is simply a German appendage in Poland"
- We are saying it directly: we will not form any coalition with PO, because Platforma is simply a German appendage in Poland, and that is a clear matter. If they think that we and they are the same, then I believe that this is something that should at least make right-wing voters think - stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

09:04

Jaki Announces a "Major Programmatic Offensive"
- I think [Party leader Kaczyński will talk about this] soon. Major initiatives are currently being developed; we are working through the holidays to launch a major programmatic offensive right after the holidays. I do not rule out [a programmatic convention in October] - stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

09:09

Sawicki:

The President Still Has Some Time, Perhaps He Will Abolish the Judiciary Entirely and Replace it with the Right of Grace?
- Nothing surprises me. The President did not hang any judge because he couldn't, but he pardoned a hooligan legally convicted because he could. […] The President's first decisions bypassing the judiciary were made regarding his political cronies. They later devastated the entire justice system, because it was none other than Mr. Kamiński and Wąsik who participated in this process of devastating the constitutional order – Marek Sawicki told Renata Grochal in “Bez Uników” (Without Evasions) on PR3. - And now it also seems that after these words, after this alleged reference to someone's words, that he heard something, the President decided to continue bypassing the judges. So, perhaps the President, who still has some time, should abolish the judiciary entirely and replace it with the right of grace? – he stated. - Let him release half, so to speak, of the murderers right now, half of the thieves. All the thieves, perhaps, he can release, what's the problem. This is, unfortunately, the finale of a bad presidency – he added.

09:20

Sawicki:

Before the elections, I said that an autumn of political change awaited us - and it seems to have begun
- Andrzej Duda has never withdrawn from politics and political relations. He has always been a supporter of only one part of the political spectrum, he has not been the president of all Poles, which is constitutionally enshrined as his duty. However, he is certainly looking for his new political path - Marek Sawicki said in "Bez Uników. A Political Conversation on Trójka". - Whether he correctly senses the winds of change - we will see, time will tell. However, that changes will come, I said before the presidential elections, that an autumn of political change awaited us in Poland. And it seems to have begun. What it will look like, in which direction it will go, it is still difficult to say today - he stated.

09:27

Sawicki:

Colleagues from PO, I strongly advise you - replace the Prime Minister now. This is the eleventh hour.
- We've had this government reconstruction soap opera for a month and a half, so I don't expect any significant reconstruction. If I read today in "Rzeczpospolita" that in the Platforma [Civic Platform] they are planning to replace the Prime Minister next year, then my colleagues from PO, I strongly advise you - do it now. This is the eleventh hour – said Marek Sawicki in "Bez Uników. A Political Conversation on Trójka".

09:32

Sawicki:

Domański is merely a figurehead. Another person runs the Ministry of Finance
- Please name at least three successes of Minister Domański in the last 19 months. I can't recall any such successes. I know one thing: that Deputy Minister [Hanna] Majszczyk is in charge of the Ministry of Finance, and Minister [Andrzej] Domański is merely a figurehead. So there is no money and there won't be any, the old theory that was in place when I was in government - said Marek Sawicki in "Bez Uników. A Political Conversation on Trójka".

09:45

Sawicki on Braun:

He Sees the Weakness of the Judiciary and the Expectations of Rebellious Youth.
- Grzegorz Braun is an exceptionally intelligent politician, a man, and an exceptionally cynical politician and man. Seeing the weakness of the Polish judiciary and certain expectations of rebellious youth, he leverages one to meet the other. And either the state and our judiciary will deal with these types of crimes seriously, or it will pretend to deal with them - said Marek Sawicki in "Bez Uników. A Political Conversation on Trójka."

10:04

Saryusz-Wolski on EU Plans:

An Instrument of Political-Financial Blackmail
– “We are talking about the European Union budget, the multiannual EU budget… This is 1.2 trillion euros. And the idea that the European Commission is to present today, and which has been maturing for quite some time, for months, which I have reported on, is to eliminate around 50 existing EU funds and replace them with three funds. One for foreign policy, the second for high technologies, and the third… In essence, each country will have one large fund, one large KPO [National Reconstruction Plan] instead of the previous funds, such as regional, agricultural, and others” – stated Jacek Saryusz-Wolski on “Poranek Wnet” on Radio WNET.

– The principles of operation for these national funds, built on the KPO model, will be such that you receive money if you implement assigned tasks, reforms, or in other words, milestones. This is a broad introduction of the conditionality principle that guided the disbursement of KPO funds, a principle of which Poland fell victim and did not receive its due money and will not receive it in full. This is a powerful instrument in the hands of the European Commission to force member states and their governments into desired or undesired actions. It is an instrument of political-financial blackmail, because these, in quotation marks, reforms can be various types of imposed or dictated requirements from an ideologized European Union, for example, in the sphere of worldviews, or in the sphere of migration policy, or in the sphere of climate policy, the Green Deal” – he continued.

10:05

Brussels' Centralizing Dictate Poised for Strengthening, Saryusz-Wolski on EU Plans
Indeed, a strengthening of the dictatorial, centralizing dictate of Brussels and its power over member states is being prepared. One aspect of this is the financial dimension. It must be added that as part of this undertaking, funds for farmers and regions are to be significantly cut. Latest estimates suggest this will be around 20% in the initial phase. The entire idea behind this major change is to reallocate money, taking it away from beneficiaries who have received it thus far, namely agriculture and poorer regions, and in exchange, shifting it towards high technologies, essentially taking from the poor to give to the wealthy countries of Western Europe and advanced industries, mainly German and French – stated Jacek Saryusz-Wolski on "Poranek Wnet" broadcast on Radio WNET.

However, more serious than the financial consequences is the intended systemic goal. This is intended to be another centralizing leap, which will grant Brussels immense power over member states, power that is not democratically controlled, power controlled by the group holding the reins, by the Franco-German directorate, and by mainstream political parties and forces. Therefore, this is a radical element, alongside the plan to amend the treaties, of rebuilding the Union's structure and transforming the Union into a super-state, an uber-state, a super-state that will reduce the role of member states to a role comparable to that of federal states, regions, or voivodeships, which will be vassalized within this system. This is a deadly project for the sovereignty of member states, and in Poland's case, for Polish sovereignty and Polish independence – he continued.

10:06

Saryusz-Wolski on the Mercosur Agreement:

The Polish government adopted a mendacious stance for domestic consumption.
Nothing has been done, to put it in a nutshell. The Polish government adopted a mendacious stance for domestic consumption, stating that it did not agree to it, while calmly waiting to lose the vote on the matter, because the vote is to be by qualified majority. And in the meantime, it also sent signals indicating that it would not oppose this Berlin-Brussels line. Two very clear signals – stated Jacek Saryusz-Wolski on "Poranek Wnet" on Radio WNET. - Firstly, still during the Polish presidency, Deputy Minister Baranowski, Deputy Minister of Development and Technology, responsible for these matters, when Poland still held the presidency, said that we are waiting for this agreement to be concluded. And very recently, Minister Szłapka signed a Polish-French declaration, a statement, also saying that both countries, while seeing the flaws in this agreement, this trade deal, and expecting certain adjustments, generally agree to the agreement with Mercosur – he continued.

10:57

Kidawa-Błońska announces resolution adoption:

Anyone who questions this crime and falsifies history should be condemned.
We will begin with a resolution that was accepted by all clubs and circles in the Senate, a resolution condemning statements that question the truth about the tragedy of the Holocaust and deny the suffering of millions of victims of German camps. Poland is a unique country, and it is our task to stand up and speak the truth about those times and to remember the victims of these terrible crimes. Anyone who questions this crime and falsifies history should be condemned. Such words and actions should not be permitted - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a press briefing in the Senate.

11:01

Kidawa-Błońska:

Kamiński will not chair this Senate session as I don't know if he will attend
- I wanted to inform you, because I know there are a lot of speculations here. At this Senate session, Mr. Michał Kamiński will not chair the proceedings, because I don't know if he will come to the session or not, and I would like us all to be sure that the proceedings will be conducted according to the schedule - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a press briefing in the Senate.

11:02

Kidawa-Błońska:

I Will Attend the Swearing-in of the New President
I will attend the swearing-in of the new Mr. President, and the Marshal is acting in accordance with the law. If any document raises doubts, he has the right to publish it with an annotation - stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a press briefing in the Senate.

11:06

Kidawa-Błońska:

I Lost Trust in Kamiński
- I lost trust in Michał Kamiński several months ago, when he accused Senate employees of surveillance, and me of tracking his movements. He insulted me, he insulted Senate employees, and he did not explain himself, nor did he apologize in an appropriate manner. One cannot cast slurs on other people, denying them the right to defense. I have lost trust in Michał Kamiński – stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a press briefing in the Senate.

11:08

Kidawa-Błońska in Favor of Kamiński's Dismissal:

I Believe the PSL Will Rise to the Occasion.
– In my opinion, he should not [Michał Kamiński should not be in the position of Deputy Speaker of the Senate], but that is the PSL’s decision. We have a partnership, we have signed agreements, and we respect our partners. I believe that the PSL, which truly cares about tradition and honor, has a great patron in Wincenty Witos, will rise to the occasion – stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a press briefing in the Senate.

– Certainly, my vote to dismiss Michał Kamiński, when such a vote takes place, will be in favor of dismissing him – the Marshal of the Senate continued.

11:36

Morawiecki on Bąkiewicz's pardon:

Courts are not ultimate and infallible divine pronouncements.
- I refer everyone who questions this decision by President Andrzej Duda [regarding the partial pardon of Robert Bąkiewicz] to the videos being shown on the internet. In my opinion, courts are not ultimate divine pronouncements and are not infallible, and particularly so in Poland, in the Third Republic, we know perfectly well what they are like - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference. - I would like everyone to form their own opinion about what Mr. Robert Bąkiewicz defended, what values he defended, and how he was accused and what he was convicted for. Because only then can one best understand and interpret this decision by the President - he stated.

11:43

Morawiecki Thanks the Border Defence Movement:

The Movement We Need to Defend Poland from Illegal Migration
- I want to thank the Border Defence Movement organised by Mr. Robert Bąkiewicz along our entire western border and the activities of this Border Defence Movement in other parts of Poland, because it is evident that this is a civic movement, the kind we need to defend Poland from illegal migration - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

11:56

Morawiecki:

Perhaps we must, as in communist times, teach children at home again about historical truth
- You know perfectly well what the real steps and real consequences of Minister Nowacka's actions are. Namely, a whole series of elements of Polish history related to fostering patriotism, caring for historical truth, and the memory of Polish heroes have been erased, wiped out - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference. - How can anyone comment, not just Bishop [Wiesław Mering], but anyone, any passerby here on Foksal could say exactly the same thing. We must, as in communist times, perhaps teach children at home again about historical truth. [...] This is an absolute scandal, distorting history, lying to Poles. We cannot allow this - he continued. - Therefore, it is difficult not to agree that today we must conduct supplementary pedagogical and educational classes for children and youth at home, in connection with the cutback history curriculum, the distortion of this curriculum, simply the falsification of history - he stated.

12:03

Morawiecki:

I Will Soon Present a Plan on How to Approach Illegal Immigration
- The cruel crime in Toruń, committed by an immigrant who had no right to be here in Poland, means that I will soon present a plan on how to approach illegal immigration, with tightened various types of controls, but also how to distinguish it from seasonal workers, because we know that such are also needed in Poland. No to illegal immigration - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

12:25

Morawiecki:

If They Prevent Nawrocki's Swearing-In, the People's Fury Will Sweep Them Away Much Faster Than in 2027
- This just shows that this government is becoming increasingly anti-democratic, and in reality, it wants to attempt a coup d'état. If they were to physically prevent the swearing-in of President Karol Nawrocki, chosen by the majority of Poles despite slander and a terribly brutal campaign, they would be committing a coup d'état. In that case, I think the people's fury will sweep them away much faster than in the 2027 elections - stated Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

12:27

Morawiecki:

Banks Must Be Immediately Taxed on Excess Profits
- There is one sector that is holding up exceptionally well - the banking sector. The net profit of banks is 43 billion. On an annual average, during the time I was prime minister, it was 12, 13, 14 billion, there was one outlier, a year when it was perhaps 23 billion. […] But 43 billion? On the high costs of loan installments, on the backs of borrowers who are paying their loan installments with sweat and blood? - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference. - Where is the government? Immediately tax the banks and at least take that money for armaments, and ideally take that money to alleviate Polish borrowers. I have already outlined the framework of this program, I can show very precisely next week how this can be done if they are unable to - he stated. - When I was minister of development, finance, then prime minister, we imposed a tax on banks. Banks are paying this tax politely to this day. But these excess profits, and there are also State Treasury companies there, that's why I'm talking about this, because the two largest Polish banks are there […], they have gigantic amounts of cash. Let them finally contribute to the wallets of Polish borrowers - he pointed out.

13:14

Sector's Energy Security: Tusk Meets ArcelorMittal CEO
- In the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Donald Tusk met with ArcelorMittal CEO Lakshmi Mittal – owner of 5 steel mills in Poland, including the most modern hot strip mill in Europe. The company employs over 9,000 people and is responsible for half of Poland's steel production. The main topic of discussion: the sector's energy security - informed the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

13:33

PiS Presents Report:

It Shows the State of State-Owned Companies and the Polish Economy.
- This report is titled "Report on State-Owned Companies. Balance of Losses and Lost Benefits in 2024-2025." This is an alarming report, it shows the state of state-owned companies, or perhaps it should be said directly, the state of the Polish economy under the rule of the December 13th coalition - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference. - Capital has a nationality [...]. Capital should be multiplied, an active pro-investment policy should be pursued, such a policy was pursued by the Law and Justice government [...] I will only mention the Central Communication Port or nuclear power plants, but also many, many projects should be listed here, for example, the modernization of railway stations, it turns out that in over 30 cities and towns the current authorities have abandoned these investments - he continued. - One can say that during the rule of Law and Justice there was development, during the rule of the December 13th coalition there is stagnation - he went on to say. - The current authorities are digging into Poles' pockets [...]. Speaking of Orlen, one only needs to look at the margin on fuel sales. The margin on 1 liter of diesel fuel has been increased from 17 to 33 groszy, and from 20 to 33 groszy for 1 liter of gasoline. [...] One of the largest insurers in our region, PZU, when it comes to civil liability insurance, their costs have increased year-on-year by 1/4 - he added.

14:04

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Aggression on the Eastern Border is Escalating
- Aggression on the eastern border is escalating. Soldiers are being attacked not only with stones but also with bottles of flammable liquid. Every such attack is an attack on the Polish state - wrote Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on social media. - That is why we have changed the law – soldiers now have clear rules for the use of weapons and full legal protection. They must not be afraid to react decisively when defending Poland. Thank you for your service! - emphasized the Deputy Prime Minister.

14:08

Błaszczak:

The Entire Government Reshuffle is Tusk's Ploy to Evade Responsibility for Trzaskowski's Defeat
- I put forward the thesis that this entire government reshuffle by Donald Tusk is a ploy by Donald Tusk himself to evade responsibility for Rafał Trzaskowski's defeat. Donald Tusk heavily invested himself in Trzaskowski's campaign, Trzaskowski lost, Tusk lost, and therefore, to avoid being held accountable by those demanding an reckoning for the loss, he fled into a reshuffle. This reshuffle will end in nothing, it's just kicking up dust – said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

14:16

Minister from the Left Pushes Pro-Developer and Anti-Human Amendments. Another Day of Coalition Quarrels
- We confirm – developers are lobbying in the Senate to abolish the obligation to create parking spaces in the housing act. The Confederation has been lobbied, which is not surprising. The Left has also been lobbied, which is more surprising – stated a tweet published on the official profile of Poland 2050. - To be clear: Poland 2050 will vote consistently: for people and against developers. It is sad that a minister from the Left is pushing pro-developer and anti-human amendments hand in hand with Mr. Tetzlaff – the originator of subsidies for developers – it was emphasized.

14:51

Sikorski During a Meeting with the Foreign Ministers of Lithuania and Ukraine:

The Lublin Triangle Will Provide and Continue to Provide Support to the Heroically Fighting Ukraine.
We have a historical memory of the past, which was both great and contained mistakes, and this obliges us to wisdom and cooperation. Our cooperation demonstrates the need to adapt to current political conditions on the international stage, and to react quickly to threats to the security of both our region and all of Europe - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference in Lublin, during a meeting with the Foreign Ministers of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine. - The Lublin Triangle promotes democratic, parliamentary values, just as the Union of Lublin did then, in contrast to the eastern satrapy, and the Lublin Triangle provides and will continue to provide support to the heroically fighting Ukraine - the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued. As Sikorski said: - Poland has already provided Ukraine with 45 packages of various types of weaponry and ammunition, and we are working on further deliveries. This is among the topics we discussed. Poland has allocated 4 billion euros for this aid so far, not counting the coordination of military equipment supplies from other countries and humanitarian aid provided by third countries.

15:09

Sikorski:

The War Could End in 5 Minutes Without Any Negotiations. All Putin Needs to Do is Give the Order
- Ukraine is not losing; in fact, it has won at sea, it's a stalemate in the air, and on land, Russia is achieving Pyrrhic victories. Depending on the month, Russia sacrifices between 100 and 300 soldiers for every square kilometer of territory gained. At this rate, Russia will need 70 years to conquer Ukraine. They must calculate whether they want to wage war for that long - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference in Lublin, during a meeting with the foreign ministers of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine. - More, because that will never happen - replied the Ukrainian Foreign Minister. - As you have heard, it is magnanimous that the victim of aggression wants to sit down for negotiations with the aggressor, and it is the victim who declares unconditional readiness to suspend hostilities. I remind you that this war can end in 5 minutes without any negotiations. All Putin needs to do is give the order to withdraw Russian troops to the internationally recognized border, in accordance with the Ukrainian-Russian treaty - the Polish Foreign Minister continued.

Sikorski:

The Root Causes of the War are Russia's Fascist State Ideology and Imperialism
- Furthermore, I believe that lasting peace depends on removing the root causes of this war, and the root causes of this war are Russia's fascist state ideology and imperialism. There is a need for deradicalization of both the Russian authorities and Russian society – stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference in Lublin, during a meeting with the Foreign Ministers of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine.

Sikorski on talks regarding the 18th sanctions package against Russia:

I am optimistic.
- Regarding the sanctions package, talks are taking place in Brussels literally right now, and I am optimistic - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference in Lublin, during a meeting with the foreign ministers of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine.

German Military Feels at Home in Poland. Morawiecki Posts Video, Addresses the Government
- The German military feels at home in Poland. This is a crossing in Lubieszyn. A question for the government – when will you put an end to this? - Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on social media.

Why Didn't Kamiński Appear in the Senate? Pawlak: He's Injured
- I know that [Michał Kamiński] is injured. I don't know if he already had a problem with his leg, walking, or a fracture [during the meeting at Adam Bielan's apartment]. I don't think so - said Waldemar Pawlak in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events). - However, it seems to me that there's no reason to worry so much about Michał Kamiński. It looks like he will cope with this injury and return to work - he stated.

"Up to Three Years in Prison": Bodnar on the Request to Lift Manowska's Immunity and Potential Liability
- Today, the National Public Prosecutor's Office filed a request, I would say a dual request, to lift the immunity of Ms. Małgorzata Manowska, the First President of the Supreme Court. Why dual? Because one was sent to the Supreme Court, to the Chamber of Professional Responsibility, and the second to the State Tribunal, as Ms. Manowska is also the President of the State Tribunal – said Adam Bodnar in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach". - These accusations concern three issues. Firstly, that the First President did not convene a session of the State Tribunal despite formal requests being submitted [...] Secondly, because she presented untrue information about how Supreme Court judges vote – he continued. - There is also another accusation concerning the fact that, according to a legally binding judgment, she should have published an appropriate annotation on the website stating that the judgment of the Disciplinary Chamber concerning Judge Paweł Juszczyszyn had been stayed, and she did not do so – he went on to say. - This liability carries up to three years of imprisonment – he added, when asked what Manowska faces.

20:02

Bodnar:

I haven't yet received President Duda's response to my letter
- No, I haven't seen a response yet, but I did see a tweet from the President that referred to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and there was something mentioned about a book being released [...] that there would be various considerations about, as I understand it, the President's stance - Adam Bodnar said on TVN24, when asked if he had received a response to his letter to President Andrzej Duda regarding threats against judges. - I think the rules of our public life are already so tangled up that I'm not sure, but it just seems to me that these types of letters are also a kind of testament - he continued, when asked if he expected a response to the letter, because one might expect a response when the Prosecutor General writes to the President.

20:09

Bielan Tells Rymanowski:

Only Tusk Benefits from the Leak About the Dinner,
- I didn't want this dinner to be public and, frankly, I've organized many dinners in my apartment and in other parts of Europe, and information about these dinners never reached the public. It's a very bad thing that this dinner was publicized because another standard in the Polish state has been violated - stated Adam Bielan on the program "Rymanowski Live". - I am not the author of this leak. There was no leak from the dozens of dinners I organized at my place. Besides, it's obvious who benefits from this leak. It is only and exclusively Donald Tusk - he continued.

20:10

Pawlak:

Kamiński? I Don't See Problems. The Ability to Meet in Various Personal and Political Constellations is an Advantage
- Are there any obstacles? - said Waldemar Pawlak in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, when asked if Michał Kamiński should remain the Deputy Marshal of the Senate. When asked about Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska's words today, he replied: - I know there's a certain element of a lack of chemistry here, to put it colloquially, but it seems to me that politics today is not easy everywhere, and one also has to be able to cope with various imperfections in the characters of our partners or participants. - I don't see any such problems here when it comes to Michał Kamiński. It seems to me that the fact that he can meet in various personal and political constellations is actually an advantage these days - he assessed.

20:12

Bodnar on Duda's Pardon of Bąkiewicz:

Sending a Terribly Disgraceful Signal to Society.
- I criticize [President Duda's decision to pardon Bąkiewicz] because I think I initiated the topic in a way, yes, because when I took office as Minister of Justice, the Prosecutor General, we realized that such a request concerning Mr. Bąkiewicz had gone to the president - Adam Bodnar said on TVN24. - The request was prepared during Minister Ziobro's tenure and was signed by Minister Marcin Warchoł [...] I remember that we presented it then, and at the same time said that we have no right, because that's how the regulations work, that the new Prosecutor General has no right to withdraw a pardon request - he continued. - When various situations involving Mr. Bąkiewicz emerged, not only those related to the border, but also an incident a few weeks ago of disrupting the session of the City Council in Radom [...] we in the prosecution office decided that perhaps it should be reminded that this pardon request is pending and the president had not yet considered it. I sent a letter stating that in such a situation, since the sentence is not to be carried out in any way, it should be suspended - he elaborated. - As I understand it, this provoked the president to grant a partial pardon to Mr. Bąkiewicz altogether and send this, in my opinion, terribly disgraceful signal to society, meaning that it is a commendation for violence and a commendation for such actions - he added.

20:15

Information was passed on by politicians, I am convinced from Tusk's circle, to a non-random media outlet. Bielan on the dinner
I didn't say that an S.O.P. (Government Protection Bureau) officer called just any paparazzi. The information was passed on by politicians, I am convinced [that] from Tusk's circle, also to a non-random media outlet, to a paparazzo associated with the Axel Springer concern, which publishes, among others, the daily "Fakt", and hence the presence of paparazzi before midnight in front of my building – stated Adam Bielan on the program "Rymanowski Live".

20:15

Bodnar on Braun and the fire extinguisher incident:

An indictment will be filed in court by the end of this month.
- If we take this first famous act [by Grzegorz Braun], the one referred to, I don't know, as the fire extinguisher incident [...]. The immunity has been effectively revoked, charges have been brought, and by the end of this month, an indictment will be filed in court - Adam Bodnar said on TVN24. - The second matter concerns the case of Ms. Gizela [...] Oleśnica, involving insult and pushing, etc. In this instance, a second request for immunity revocation has been made, and I hope that this time the European Parliament might deal with it more swiftly - he continued.

20:20

Bielan:

We now know a coup d'état was planned
- Today we know, thanks to information from the Interia portal, that a coup d'état was planned, that Tusk was pressuring Marshal Hołownia not to organize the National Assembly, or to announce a break of several weeks immediately after opening the National Assembly. This is a direct violation of the Constitution, a coup d'état - stated Adam Bielan on the program "Rymanowski Live".

20:20

Pawlak:

I Don't Understand Why Others Are So Keen to Run Over Kamiński
- I don't understand why others are so keen to run over Kamiński. Because it seems to me that there's no reason for us to worry about it so much - said Waldemar Pawlak in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, when asked why the PSL is so focused on Michał Kamiński. - In the Senate, we currently have much more practical matters. For instance, the energy law, which offers the possibility of cheaper energy for households and businesses, I'm talking about wind energy - he added.

20:28

Bodnar on Further Requests to Lift Braun's Immunity:

He Won't Be Able to Recover.
- This evening I signed another, the third request to lift [Grzegorz Braun's] immunity, and this time it concerns four incidents. These are the two incidents with the Ukrainian and European Union flags, the incident of destroying the LGBT exhibition in the Sejm, and the incident where he insulted the organizers of the Daffodil action during the presidential debate, four acts, another request has been sent to the European Parliament - said Adam Bodnar on TVN24. - And there will be a fourth request, I assume, because an investigation has been initiated regarding the denial of the Holocaust, meaning those absolutely shameful, scandalous words [...] on Monday, the Krakow branch of the IPN prosecutors initiated an investigation - he continued. - I hope that we will quickly bring these cases to court and he will not escape responsibility, quite the contrary, he will have so many legal problems that he will not be able to recover in terms of how often he will have to appear in court - he went on to say.

20:41

Pawlak on the PSL’s Role in Polish Politics:

We Must Position Ourselves Above the Political Dispute.
- […] The PSL candidate [did not win the last presidential election because] he did not participate in it. We supported Szymon Hołownia’s campaign. And it must be said that these elections, the first round, presented an interesting picture, because polarization didn't so much decrease as it stretched, meaning to the right of PiS appeared Konfederacja and Grzegorz Braun, and to the left of Platforma not only Lewica led by Czarzasty, but also even further left Lewica led by Adrian Zandberg - stated Waldemar Pawlak in “Gość wydarzeń” on Polsat News. - I think one simple truth must be understood, that one should not position oneself between these clashing extremes, but above them. And we have topics that are above this dispute and this brawl, because if we talk about what the leader of the PSL, the Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, deals with, then security matters are above all of that - he continued.

20:49

Bielan Suggests J.D. Vance Visit to Poland
- It's difficult for me to say whether we can count on the presence of President Trump himself. It will certainly be much easier to organize a visit for his Vice President and potential successor, J.D. Vance. I think so [it's very probable in the near future] - stated Adam Bielan on the program "Rymanowski Live".

20:49

Bielan on Nawrocki’s Visit to Washington:

Highly Probable
- I think it is very, very probable [Karol Nawrocki’s visit to Washington]. I hope [that it will happen this year] - stated Adam Bielan on the program “Rymanowski Live”.

20:52

Pawlak o rekonstrukcji rządu:

O takich sprawach się nie mówi, tylko się je po prostu robi
- The recipe from the perspective of such an experienced politician is very simple: you don’t talk about such things, you just do them - stated Waldemar Pawlak on “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News, when asked to assess the course of the government reconstruction. - From what is currently emerging, the shape will be a stronger economic center, where the Minister of Finance will also combine economic matters. […] Such a model exists in France, where the Ministry of Finance is combined with the Ministry of Economy, and then the Minister of Finance is not only responsible for spending money but also for the tax base, meaning supporting entrepreneurs who pay into this budget - he continued. - On the other hand, there is, for example, the Ministry of Climate and Energy. I don’t know if it will be combined like that right now, but there will certainly be a Ministry of Energy that will combine all energy threads in one department. As for other changes, we will find out next week - he went on.

20:56

Pawlak on Abolishing the Two-Term Limit for the President:

You Know, I Would Agree.
- You know, I would agree - Waldemar Pawlak replied on “Gość Wydarzeń” (Guest of Events) on Polsat News, when asked - in the context of the idea to abolish the two-term limit in local government - whether he minded the impossibility of electing Andrzej Duda for a third presidential term. - If we looked at the role of the president, undoubtedly in the Polish system, the president could play the role of an entity that unites for much longer than one term, because that can also be imagined. If we take an example from the history of the last few decades, let's take the example of Aleksander Kwaśniewski. He is still quite popular today and probably if there were an opportunity to run for subsequent terms, then... [he probably would run] - he stated.

21:01

Pawlak on Abolishing Term Limits:

Wouldn’t It Be Better for Local Community Residents to Have the Option to Make This Decision?
- Another example worth checking, which is also important for local government officials, is the withdrawal from the two-term limit, from these restrictions on local communities. If they have, because studies have also been done, and where there are good managers, who manage the local community well, they govern longer and the results in these municipalities are better. Whereas where there is such a shredder... – stated Waldemar Pawlak in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News. - Well, but what do you, Mr. Editor, think? Is it better for the residents of the local community to have the option to make this decision, or do you think that one or another such central heavy-handed figure comes and says: “no, fine…” – he replied, when asked about the expediency of the solution proposed by PSL.

21:29

Bielan:

Tusk Promised Coalition Partners 1.5 Years Ago He Would Only Be Prime Minister for a Year
- According to my information, Tusk promised his coalition partners 1.5 years ago that he would only remain prime minister for a year and he did not keep his word. So even if he says now, and apparently he does, that he wants another year, it's hard to believe him - stated Adam Bielan in the program 'Rymanowski Live'.
