Bosak on the New EU Budget:

Cutting Structural and Agricultural Funds.
- I knew about the assumptions of the new EU financial framework several months ago. But, interestingly, I learned this from Prime Minister Orban, not from Prime Minister Tusk. I would like to learn from Polish government representatives what is being negotiated in Brussels, and in my opinion, they are hiding it from Polish society - said Krzysztof Bosak in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1. - The sums, in reality, are not that important. They obscure the picture. What is important are the tendencies - and the tendencies are that the gigantic commitments left by the EU from distribution programs made due to Covid and from expenses currently being made for Ukraine, result in gigantic debts to be repaid, and transfers must be made in this budget - he indicated. - The transfers are intended to involve - this is information from a few months ago from the European Council, which reached us as members of Konfederacja via Hungary [...] - that these transfers are to involve cutting structural funds and cutting agricultural funds - he stated.

08:20

Szefernaker:

This is Tusk's State Philosophy. There is no defense of Polish interests, even in the context of history
- This is unfortunately the philosophy of Mr. Tusk's government at the moment. That is to say, there is no defense of Polish interests, even in the context of history. The truth must be spoken and called by its name. This means that in shaping state policy, identity policy, historical policy, there is no room for half-measures, for half-truths. Here, one must speak as it was, and defense solely for political reasons or related to attempts at relativization, we do not agree to that. We do not agree to certain events being presented in such a way - stated Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with Krzysztof Ziemiec on the program "Otwarta Konserwa".

08:24

Bosak:

If EU Budget Funds Aren't Conditioned on Ideological Goals, I'll Be Ready to Praise
- If there are funds [around 110 billion euros for cohesion policy and agricultural policy for Poland] and they are not conditioned on some ideological goals, then I will be ready to praise them - Krzysztof Bosak stated in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1. - However, if it turns out that these are funds for us, but... - and then follow 100 conditions, like with the KPO - then I will not praise them. Because I am a proponent of the Polish state governing itself, as it has been until now, where there was an EU budget, and then we in Poland decided how we would spend this money - he emphasized.

08:25

Szefernaker on Civic Platform:

They Believe Truth Can Be Distorted Solely for Better Relations with Others.
I am convinced that the political environment currently in power, centered around Civic Platform (PO), is capable of sacrificing certain historical facts for the sake of temporary relativism in relations with other countries. We believe that this should be presented from the perspective of Poland's interests, rather than seeking agreement on matters that are very clear. There is no room for historical relativism there, and they believe that truth can be distorted solely for the purpose of having good relations with others. We want to build these relations on truth – stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program “Otwarta Konserwa”.

08:29

Szefernaker on the Head of the Chancellery:

The President will inform in the coming days.
- Przemysław Czarnek would be an extremely good head of the Chancellery. What the final decision will be – I think the president [Karol Nawrocki] will be informing about this in the coming days. I think so. There are still over 20 days until the inauguration. It is natural that discussions are ongoing about what the Chancellery will look like, what the political, and also administrative, support will be – stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program “Otwarta Konserwa”.

08:36

Szefernaker on the Sejm Marshal's decision regarding the convening of the National Assembly:

I am convinced it will be published.
- The decision of the Sejm Marshal comes into effect on the day it is made – stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program "Otwarta Konserwa" (Open Preserve), when asked about the lack of publication in the Monitor Polski (Polish Monitor) of the Sejm Marshal's decision to convene the National Assembly. - I am convinced that it will be published [...] despite everything, the state functions, the state operates, and if they act contrary to the law, it will first be a big problem for them, because Poles will not allow this government to act contrary to the law [...] and secondly, ultimately, I think they have an increasing sense that it will be a big political problem for them in the future - he continued.

08:38

Szefernaker:

President Nawrocki is Open to Including Representatives of Other Political Circles in a Broad Group of Experts
- Representatives of the circle that supported Karol Nawrocki from the very beginning will be in the strict leadership of the chancellery. There will also be associates of the president who have worked with him for years, and this is natural, but in the broader group of advisors and experts, there will be people from outside of politics, who are also experts from other political circles – stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program “Otwarta Konserwa". - President Nawrocki is open to including representatives of other political circles in a broad group of experts – he continued to say.

08:41

Szefernaker:

I Am Convinced That the Government Reconstruction Will Change Nothing in the Philosophy of This Political Group's Functioning
- The discussion about reconstruction and the reconstruction itself, I am convinced, will change nothing further in the philosophy of this political group's functioning. They simply have no idea for Poland; they simply represent their own interests, the particular interests of individual parties that are part of the coalition – stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program "Otwarta Konserwa".

08:45

Bosak:

We're Still Handing Out Visas Left and Right, Without Knowing Who These People Are. Citizens Have a Right to Be Emotional About This
- I fear that thugs and criminals are being admitted into Poland. [...] We submitted an amendment in the Sejm to not issue visas to citizens of countries with which we do not have readmission agreements, meaning deportation. This was rejected by the ruling coalition - Krzysztof Bosak said in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1. - Secondly, we submitted an amendment to check whether someone has a criminal record before issuing a visa. But the ruling majority, nor the previous government for that matter, wants to know if someone was a convicted murderer, or if someone is a gangster in their own country - he continued. - We are simply still handing out visas left and right, without knowing who these people are. And this worries me. I believe that citizens have a right to experience their emotions on this point, because we would be people completely without reason and without responsibility if we approached this in a relaxed and calm manner - stated the co-leader of Confederation.

08:45

Szefernaker:

No Government Can Rule Effectively in Permanent Conflict with the President
- No government can rule effectively while in conflict, a permanent one at that, with the president, especially with a president who won the election with such high turnout and significant public support. It is natural that the president will also be very active in these relations with the government - stated Paweł Szefernaker on the program "Otwarta Konserwa".

08:47

Szefernaker:

The President Will Observe the Fulfillment of the Current Government's Election Promises
- The government also made many promises when running for elections. We know that today it is not fulfilling these promises, and the President will also observe how the election promises of the current government are being fulfilled. One cannot govern by means of regulations or, as one of the Prime Minister's associates put it – decrees – stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program "Otwarta Konserwa".

08:48

Szefernaker:

I Will Defend the Border Guard
- I will defend the Border Guard. As a long-serving deputy minister in the Ministry of Interior and Administration, I know that uniformed services operate within the framework of executing orders that come from the leadership of the Ministry of Interior and Administration. And it's not a matter of the officers' decisions; officers carry out their duties to the best of their ability, defending the Polish border within a certain philosophy adopted by the government. It is the government that is responsible, and the Minister of Interior and Administration is responsible for the border – stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program "Otwarta Konserwa".

08:49

Szefernaker:

Without the Border Defence Movement, There Would Be No Government Decisions on the Border to This Day
- As a Member of Parliament, in March I appealed from the parliamentary rostrum to tighten the border with Germany. Many politicians, including those from our political circle, appealed for this, Karol Nawrocki spoke about it many times during the campaign. Today, without the Border Defence Movement, I am convinced that there would be no government decisions on the border to this day – stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program "Otwarta Konserwa".

08:53

Trump's Presence at Nawrocki's Swearing-in? Szefernaker: It Was Fake News
- There is no such tradition in Poland for heads of other states to come for the swearing-in of a president, it has never happened, it was some fake news that appeared - stated Paweł Szefernaker in the program "Otwarta Konserwa", when asked about the presence of Donald Trump at Karol Nawrocki's swearing-in.

08:54

Bosak on Migration Policy:

Citizens’ Security Situation is Slowly Deteriorating.
- The government is pursuing a policy that is very dangerous for us. The citizens’ security situation is slowly – I'm not saying it's a catastrophe, thank God it's much better than in the West – but it's going in the wrong direction – said Krzysztof Bosak in PR1’s “Sygnały dnia” (Signals of the Day). - Citizens have the right and the duty to protest against this. And healthy emotions for society are being activated; these emotions are called the self-preservation instinct – he assessed.

09:46

Suchoń on the Lack of a Deputy Prime Minister for Poland 2050:

We Cannot Imagine It.
- Negotiations have been ongoing for many, many weeks. They naturally have their own dynamics, but they are being conducted in a good, constructive atmosphere - stated Mirosław Suchoń in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti." - We have a very precisely mapped-out plan, also concerning the issue of the deputy prime minister. To put it quite frankly, we cannot imagine a large club, which is part of the coalition and bears responsibility at both the governmental and parliamentary levels, not being represented by a deputy prime minister, and all our coalition partners are aware of and understand this - he continued.

09:47

Suchoń on the Prime Ministerial Change:

It's the decision of the largest formation, but these voices within Civic Coalition are appearing.
- If we waited another year for a thorough reconstruction and to get out of the bend, I don't know if any hopes would remain regarding 2027, regarding the elections. This reconstruction must happen today, a reconstruction that will truly be the driving engine to push forward with changes with vigor - stated Mirosław Suchoń in "Graffiti" on Polsat News. - When we talk about the Prime Minister, it is, of course, the decision of the largest formation, but these voices somewhere within Civic Coalition, they are appearing. It's not surprising, we see this in the media, in public space, but it is the largest formation that chooses the Prime Minister. It's their decision - he continued.

09:48

Says Suchoń on Bodnar's Letter to Hołownia:

It Resembles a Cry of Despair with No Legal Justification,
– I am extremely surprised by what Minister Bodnar has done, because Minister Bodnar, as an excellent lawyer, knows perfectly well what the process of determining or confirming the validity of presidential elections is. He had 1.5 years to submit various laws to parliament that would change the situation we inherited – stated Mirosław Suchoń in the program "Graffiti" on Polsat News. – Today, it rather resembles some cry of despair that has no legal justification. I would very much like Minister Bodnar to explain to the citizens what this is supposed to achieve, what are the legal mechanisms that enable it, what are the legal provisions that allow Minister Bodnar's letter to the Marshal to halt, I don't know, the inauguration – he continued.

09:53

Suchoń on Bodnar's Letter:

An Attempt to Divert Attention from the Justice Ministry's Blunder Regarding Judicial Reforms,
- This is no longer even a soft pressure tactic, but rather ordinary, pure politics. It's an attempt to divert attention from the fact that the Ministry of Justice has truly blundered when it comes to judicial reforms, failing to present any legislation - stated Mirosław Suchoń on Polsat News's "Graffiti". - Even if we as a parliament had adopted these laws and the president had rejected them, we could have told the citizens: listen, we presented concrete projects, we tried to make changes, the president vetoed them for us, whereas today we are in a situation where we cannot say that, because the ministry, for many, many months, has likely been doing many important things, but not the most crucial ones - he continued.

10:01

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

Regional Policy Needs Differentiation
- "Yesterday I was in Lubliniec, a city of twenty thousand, talking to people precisely about what kind of housing they need. And it's simply unanimous, everyone I spoke to said: allow us to retain access to ownership at commercial prices, because that is the reason why I will stay in Lubliniec" - responded Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in "One on One" on TVN24, when asked about Poland 2050's amendments to the social housing bill. - "And Lubliniec, a city of twenty thousand, has lost 1000 people in the last five years who have moved away. In the social building where I was, most people waiting for their turn, in a few months they will have their own apartments, these are young families. And all these young families say: we want access to ownership, if we get such an opportunity, we will stay in Lubliniec. And this is good policy. It's completely different in Warsaw, and Lewica thinks correctly, but it thinks about Warsaw" - she continued. - "And in Warsaw, it is the case that with social construction, it is forbidden to sell it off, and communal housing cannot be sold off either, because in Warsaw it's not about having more residents, as there are already many and they are increasing in big cities. Instead, it's about the fact that if someone cannot afford their own apartment, they are in social housing, and when they start to afford it, they move out and a new person can move in. So, let's differentiate regional policy for local Poland" - emphasized the minister.

10:01

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Housing Policy:

For good, effective government work, it's best to combine it in one place.
„We have in the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, already now, a very large part of housing. It is statutorily anchored. We have [...] social rental agencies…” – Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz replied in the program „Jeden na jeden” on TVN24, when asked if she would like to deal with social housing within the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy. „It's precisely that a part is in the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, and a part is elsewhere. In my opinion, for good, effective government work, it's best to combine it in one place. I also invite, in the spirit of absolutely positive cooperation, for example, the deputy minister from Lewica to join us” – she continued. „Do we have a completely different vision [with Lewica]? I don't think so. We have a similar vision in many points, but indeed Polska 2050 believes that there can be no concessions towards developers, and we are not in favor of developer laws. We were very strongly against them” – she continued.

10:02

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Tusk:

It’s not a minister’s role to evaluate the prime minister.
- "I am the last person, as a minister in the current government of Prime Minister Tusk, who would speak in this manner. It is not a minister’s role to evaluate, judge, or engage in such discussions concerning the supreme, incumbent prime minister. I adhere to this with iron consistency. I believe this is required for loyal and good cooperation within the coalition." - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz responded on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden" when asked if Prime Minister Tusk should remain in office.

10:04

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Poland 2050's Demands:

Deputy Speaker of the Sejm and Deputy Prime Minister
- "Yesterday I was in Katowice, I was in Zielona Góra, I had two very large open meetings with people. Not a single question was about the reconstruction, nor about that meeting [Hołownia's with Bielan and Kaczyński]. You know, Madam Editor, what do people ask about? About affordable housing, better salaries, energy prices, support for entrepreneurs. That's what interests people today, and 80% of my work is about that" - replied Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in "Jeden na jeden" on TVN24. - "Poland 2050 says this: let's establish now that from November, after the Marshal's departure, a large part of our responsibility in the coalition will be gone, so for Poland 2050, [it means] a Deputy Speaker of the Sejm and a Deputy Prime Minister. We believe it's better to establish this now, so that we don't drag out these personal soap operas any longer and can get to work" - she continued.

10:05

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

We Don't Allow Undermining Democratic Principles and the Sovereign's Will
- „We simply do not allow for undermining the principles of democracy and the will of the sovereign just because the election results are different from what we would have wished. This is contrary to my deepest values, to the deepest values of Poland 2050. We all voted for Rafał Trzaskowski, but we must not undermine the principles of democracy today” – Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz replied on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden" when asked about the swearing-in of Karol Nawrocki.

- „Prime Minister Tusk published the Supreme Court's decision. Because in this situation, there is no other option; the court is totally corrupted by PiS, as it is, there isn't another one. This same court decided on the validity of the parliamentary elections. We don't have another court today, and that's why, as I understand it, the Prime Minister published the court's decision. And in this situation, the only decision consistent with democracy by the Marshal is to convene the Assembly and swear in the President-elect […]” – she continued.

10:25

Müller:

Another Blown-Up "Scandal" Defeated in Court. Will the Politicians Who Made Accusations from PO Apologize?
Another blown-up "scandal" has been defeated in court. The District Court in Warsaw has definitively confirmed that Łukasz Szumowski and Janusz Cieszyński did not commit any crime when purchasing protective equipment during the pandemic - wrote Piotr Müller on social media. It is pleasing that the truth has prevailed! Unfortunately, this is one of many cases on which Tusk's team built its support in the 2023 elections. It is precisely such "scandals" that "settle scores." Will the politicians from PO who made accusations apologize? - emphasized the PiS MEP.

10:43

Morawiecki:

Tusk's Return Has Brought Back Unemployment. Young People Are Job Hunting and Considering Moving Abroad Again
- Hundreds of CVs sent out by young people. A decreasing number of job offers. Skyrocketing youth unemployment, but also unemployment that is increasingly felt across Poland. Mass layoffs, group layoffs in many places I've visited, I've talked to people. People are terrified. Increasingly frequent tragedies. Young people are looking for jobs and are again considering whether to go abroad - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference. - Look at the statistics coming from Eurostat, the European Commission. We have a sharp increase in youth unemployment, the highest growth in the entire European Union, by about 27%. […] Youth unemployment reaches over 13 percentage points […] Maybe this is a problem for all of Central Europe? Because if so, Poland is somewhat "justified", at least partially. Well, no - in Lithuania, in Slovakia, youth unemployment is falling - he continued. - Tusk is back, unemployment is back. The Prime Minister of Polish poverty, Polish unemployment, the one that people are probably remembering better now, from those years when unemployment was rampant in Poland - stated the deputy leader of PiS. - We, as a responsible opposition, propose a series of solutions in the "Work for Poland" Team. […] CVs for jobs within 30 days - one of the proposals. Training related to the new labor market, i.e. various digital technologies, related to AI. […] The Prime Minister must immediately go to those plants where group layoffs are announced, propose solutions. Relief for entrepreneurs for hiring young people - he listed.

11:15

Morawiecki on CPK: Chase This Government Away As Quickly As Possible, So We Can Get Back to Work with Real Professionals
- This is a drama, what we are dealing with. Listen to what they are saying today. All that's left is to tear one's hair out. CPK, in its original shape, was supposed to be completed in 2028, 2029, with individual stages. In the first step, they wanted to plough it all under. Then, the pressure from the Polish nation caused Tusk, without any shame, to return after a few months and start saying that CPK will actually be built - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference. - But how will it be built? It will be built in such a way that after half a year, they admitted there would be a four-year delay, meaning not 2028 anymore, but 2032. And today, a prominent activist from Civic Platform, or from this political camp, because he was appointed by this camp to CPK, a prominent member of this team, says that there might be a delay of another couple of years - he continued. - It's disheartening. We're not looking at 2028 anymore, but already 2032, and probably 2034, 2035. Chase this government away as quickly as possible, so we can simply get back to work with real professionals, to develop Poland, so that CPK gets built - he stated.

11:59

Zandberg met with Nawrocki:

There are matters that cannot wait. I suggested active measures.
- There are fundamental differences between myself and Mr. Karol Nawrocki concerning our views on women's rights or the vision of Poland's future in the European Union, but there are matters here and now that need to be discussed and that truly cannot wait. One of them is the issue of assistance and, more broadly, support for people with disabilities - said Adrian Zandberg at a press conference following his meeting with Karol Nawrocki. - Unfortunately, we cannot wait any longer in parliament for personal assistance to finally be presented, voted on, implemented, and come into effect, so I took the liberty of sensitizing Mr. Karol Nawrocki to how important this topic is and also suggested active measures if this powerlessness and inability to implement assistance in a meaningful form were to continue - he continued. - We also discussed issues related to housing and housing policy. [...] I took the liberty [...] to encourage that upon the elected president taking office, should anyone try to push these REITs through parliament, the future president should consider vetoing this solution - he went on to say. - We also discussed loan subsidies [...]. I tried to convince them that this is the wrong direction and if these solutions were to appear on the table again, they too would deserve a veto - he added.

12:01

Zandberg on the Behind-the-Scenes of the Meeting with Nawrocki:

At the Invitation of the President-Elect.
- Yes, it was a meeting initiated at the invitation of the president-elect - said Adrian Zandberg at a press conference after meeting with Karol Nawrocki, when asked if he had been invited by the president-elect.

12:03

Zandberg on Nawrocki's Declaration:

He Wants to Be More Legislatively Active Than His Predecessor.
- We didn't get down to specifics, but the declaration that the president-elect wants to be more legislatively active than his predecessor, yes - said Adrian Zandberg at a press conference after meeting with Karol Nawrocki, when asked if the president-elect had declared in their conversation that he would submit any legislative projects in the first days of his term.

16:01

Siemoniak After the Migration Summit in Germany:

We Want to Seek New Solutions and Tools.
- The motto of the Polish presidency, which ended a few weeks ago, was "Security, Europe!" and this is the direction we want to work in, we want to seek new solutions and new tools – said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference after the Migration Summit on Zugspitze in Germany. - I especially appreciate that my colleagues supported the issue related to the instrumentalization and weaponization of migration. This is precisely what Poland is directly experiencing on the Polish-Belarusian border, but it also translates to the migration situation in other countries – he continued.

16:06

Szefernaker:

German Chancellor's Statement Does Not Foster Good Polish-German Relations
- If the German Chancellor says he would prefer 'a different outcome than the presidential election in Poland,' it shows what a good choice President Nawrocki is for POLAND! - wrote Paweł Szefernaker on social media. - The German Chancellor's statement does not foster good Polish-German relations. POLAND FIRST. POLES FIRST - emphasized the future head of President Karol Nawrocki's cabinet.

16:11

Siemoniak Announces Visit of German Interior Minister to Poland:

He Will Be With Me on the Polish-Belarusian Border.
- I am very pleased that in a few days, next Monday, Minister Alexander Dobrindt will be with me there, on the Polish-Belarusian border, to personally get acquainted with the effort we have made and the problems we are facing there - Tomasz Siemoniak said at a press conference after the Migration Summit at Zugspitze in Germany. - It will also be an opportunity to share the latest data on what we experience at the Polish-Lithuanian border every day; our Border Guard detains individuals who illegally cross the border and hands them back to Lithuania - he continued.

16:16

Siemoniak:

We Want Cooperation in All Concrete Actions, Such as Deporting Those Suspected of Crimes
- We want cooperation in all concrete actions, such as deporting individuals suspected of crimes, sending them to other countries. We are very interested in reaching out to countries where cooperation is very difficult, for example, Afghanistan – said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference after the Migration Summit at Zugspitze in Germany.

16:20

Siemoniak positive about his German counterpart:

I am very satisfied," "Perfectly understands the challenges.
- I am very satisfied that Germany, the new German government, the German minister [of the interior], with whom we are in daily contact, as you can see, we are meeting on Friday, we will meet on Monday, perfectly understands these challenges and perfectly understands that the problems of illegal migration cannot be solved one at the expense of the other. These are our common problems, and we must solve them together – said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference after the Migration Summit at Zugspitze in Germany.

19:40

Bielan:

I Thank Hołownia for Behaving Like a True Democrat and a Man
- I thank Marshal Hołownia for behaving like a true democrat and a true man at the same time. He did not yield to those suggestions - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

19:41

Bielan:

If this information is confirmed, Tusk must face the State Tribunal
- But certainly this matter [of pressure on the Marshal of the Sejm regarding the convening of the National Assembly] will have to be explained at some point, perhaps in the form of a parliamentary inquiry commission, and if it is true, if this information is confirmed, then Tusk must face the State Tribunal. For such serious crimes, we must finally start punishing people who destroy or try to destroy Polish democracy - stated Adam Bielan in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

19:43

Bielan:

Tusk is Desperate, Breaking Democratic Standards
- Tusk is desperate, he is breaking democratic standards in Poland. This year, he used secret files from investigations, scrutinizing individuals who applied for access to classified information. This concerns, for example, Karol Nawrocki. He is using special services to surveil his political competition - stated Adam Bielan on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".

19:45

Bielan:

Tusk Has Become the Face of Trzaskowski's Defeat
Tusk does not want to relinquish power, which is eluding him. He lost the presidential election, and in this studio, he became the face of Rafał Trzaskowski's defeat because on Monday, before the second round of the election, he decided on an unprecedented attack on presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki, falsely accusing him of the worst things and lost - stated Adam Bielan in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

19:47

Bielan:

We Must Remain Vigilant Until August 6th
- Poles have decided that they do not want a government candidate, they do not want Rafał Trzaskowski, Donald Tusk's deputy in Civic Platform, and instead of accepting the democratic verdict of Poles and stepping down as Prime Minister, he is desperately clinging to his seat, which is why I believe that we must remain constantly vigilant until August 6th. He will be constantly scheming on how to close the deal - stated Adam Bielan in "Gość Wydarzeń" Polsat News.

19:51

Bielan:

Tusk Must Go. There Will Be No Good Cooperation
- I cannot imagine, to paraphrase the late Andrzej Lepper, Tusk must go. There will be no good cooperation [between the government and the president] - stated Adam Bielan on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń". - Tusk is a man who, on the one hand, falsely accused the president of our most important ally, the USA, of treason, the worst accusation one can level at a politician, accusing him of working for Russian special services for perhaps 30 years. He had no evidence for this and never retracted those words, and at the same time, in this studio, at this table, he accused the president-elect of the worst things - he continued. - Let's be frank, as long as Tusk is the prime minister of this government, I cannot imagine such cooperation with the president, who won the largest number of votes since 1990 and has a powerful democratic mandate - he emphasized.

21:05

Kierwiński on Opposition's Actions Regarding the Border:

One Big Lie.
"This is one big lie. This government, Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government, is the government that is fighting illegal migration in Poland most fiercely. This government has secured Poland's border. This government has ensured that 99% of cases of illegal crossing of our Polish-Belarusian border are caught" - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Pytanie dnia" on TVP INFO, when asked about planned demonstrations against illegal mass immigration.

"I understand that there are political parties that have built their message on lies for many, many years and will continue to do so for many, many years. But the role of a responsible government is to care for the safety of Poles, not to give in, not to enter this spiral of lies, but to explain what the situation is. And I know what I'm talking about, Madam Editor, because I was in the Ministry of Interior and Administration in my time. I made decisions on the order of Prime Minister Donald Tusk to secure our eastern border. It was during PiS's time that we had a fence. Moreover, PiS politicians themselves said that they built a fence. We have turned that fence into a real barrier, a barrier against illegal immigrants," he continued.

21:06

Kierwiński:

Bąkiewicz is essentially a wife-beater, all talk and no action
- "Okay, but these are two issues. One is the issue of facts, what Mr. Bąkiewicz does. Mr. Bąkiewicz is a well-known 'hero' in quotation marks, always loud-mouthed, actually strong in his words but completely unable to stand up to real threats. And I don't even want to comment on this gentleman, this individual. On the other hand, yes, this propaganda is unfortunately very effective because it touches upon a very significant problem" - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Question of the Day" on TVP INFO, when asked about public support for Bąkiewicz's patrols on the border. - "A problem that PiS built and imposed on us. For their eight years, they opened Poland to illegal migration. It was during their time that Polish visas were sold. It was during their time that God knows who was brought to Poland. Well, there can be nothing more embarrassing than a corruption process in issuing Polish visas. They sold Polish visas for money. And they indeed created a sense of threat in Poland, and today, on this sense of threat that they themselves built, they are trying to make politics" - he continued.

Kierwiński on Berkowicz's Words:

It's Even Hard to Comment.
- "It's even hard to comment, you know, such, such words, because it's a language that really reaches back to past times, and the worst times of the 20th century. However, yes, you are right that it is a very significant threat that today's right-wing parties are becoming parties that resort to brown rhetoric" - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Pytanie dnia" on TVP INFO, when asked about Konrad Berkowicz's words regarding xenophobia. - "Bąkiewicz goes hand in hand with PiS. After all, he knows how many millions he received from PiS. Mr. Bąkiewicz is from PiS. How can he not have a direct mandate, perhaps they haven't handed it to him yet, but he received money from PiS, he ran on PiS's lists. This is the DNA of PiS. There is no doubt about it" - he continued. - "We are trying to settle all PiS's scams in a manner compliant with the law. So, as long as the court does not convict one or another PiS official, he can enjoy freedom. But in the case of Matecki, I hope that he has already spent two months in custody, I hope that the prosecution and the courts will act exceptionally efficiently" - stated Kierwiński, when asked about criminal responsibility for the actions of right-wing politicians.

Kierwiński:

Hołownia Explained the Background of His Meeting with Bielan and Kaczyński to Leaders
"Certainly, the 11 million Poles who voted for the October 15th coalition have a big question mark over what Marshal Hołownia did in June [...] I did not like these meetings at all, because I stand by the position that one should not only not... one should not meet with people like Kaczyński, one should not shake hands with such people." - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Pytanie dnia" on TVP INFO, when asked about Hołownia's meeting with Bielan and Kaczyński. "But Marshal Hołownia, at the leaders' meeting, which was two weeks ago, explained the background of this meeting to Donald Tusk, Czarzasty, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, and Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz. The leaders of the October 15th coalition accepted these explanations. Has the question mark over mutual loyalty remained? Of course, in such matters, it always spoils relations, but the leaders accepted this explanation. For me, this matter is closed. I hope that the Marshal has understood that one does not go for evening suppers with people like Kaczyński, Bielan, or other PiS individuals who have been destroying Poland for years," he continued.

Kierwiński on Government Changes:

The Prime Minister Plans a Deep Reconstruction.
- „Whether there will be 17, 22, or 25 in the reconstruction doesn't matter at all. What's important is that we emerge strengthened from this reconstruction, that the reconstruction provides a new impetus. And from what I know, the Prime Minister is planning a deep reconstruction, and a reconstruction that will primarily address the problems this government must solve” - stated Marcin Kierwiński in “Pytanie dnia” on TVP INFO, when asked about the planned government reconstruction.

- „Ultimately, regarding the composition of the cabinet, these are of course the Prime Minister's decisions, but they are consulted with coalition partners. I don't know why Ms. Pełczyńska says she's not participating in the talks. Perhaps she didn't participate in the previous ones, because Marshal Hołownia did” - he continued.

- „And I, Madam Editor, will take on such areas, if I do, and the position offered by the Prime Minister. I am ready for talks with Prime Minister Donald Tusk” - Kierwiński concluded, when asked about his role in the government after the reconstruction.

Kierwiński on Michał Kamiński's Future:

It Will Be the PSL's Decision.
"It will be the decision of the Polish People's Party (PSL), because they recommended Mr. Kamiński. However, I would personally urge my colleagues from the PSL to decide, to indeed react in this matter. Because just as I very negatively assess Marshal Hołownia's conversations with Kaczyński and Bielan, it is impossible to have a different standard for Kamiński's conversation with Bielan" - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Question of the Day" on TVP INFO, when asked about Michał Kamiński.

Kierwiński:

The Scale of Irregularities Known So Far Has Not Significantly Affected the Presidential Election Outcome
"Do I know the election results? We are waiting... there are about 300 polling stations where the prosecutor's office is continuously counting, counting the votes. So, I don't know what the final result was. However, the scale of irregularities that we know so far probably has not significantly influenced who became president. But I am calmly waiting for the prosecutor's office to finish the counting process, because then I will be able to draw conclusions," stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Question of the Day" on TVP INFO, when asked about the presidential election results. "Regardless of the legal mess we are living in, and we are living in an extreme mess created by PiS, it is our duty to highlight all these constitutionally dubious points we are dealing with due to this mess. And Adam Bodnar is writing this letter to show Mr. Marshal Hołownia how many points we have doubts about," Kierwiński continued, also referring to Bodnar's letter to Hołownia regarding the presidential election.
