Head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland? Czarnek: I'll probably be more useful to the President as Vice-Chairman of PiS

- This was an agreement between myself and Karol Nawrocki during my excellent conversation with Karol Nawrocki [...] in which we approached it this way: if I become Vice-Chairman of the Law and Justice party [...] then Karol Nawrocki will have to consider whether he will continue to offer me the position of Head of the Chancellery, because according to his concept, the most current one, then and today, it seems, he would prefer a non-partisan chancellery, he dreamed of such a thing and will likely implement it - said Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Roch Kowalski on "24 questions" PR24. - We have come to the conviction with Mr. President Karol Nawrocki, at this moment, that I will probably be more useful to Mr. President as Vice-Chairman of the party, head of the Lublin structures, and a Member of Parliament for Law and Justice, these are the assumptions of Mr. President Karol Nawrocki, and I respect them enormously - he continued.

07:55

Czarnek:

If we don't win the elections alone, we will look for a coalition partner on the right, where Konfederacja is

- We are preparing to win these elections alone again. If this is not achieved, meaning if we don't reach that 43, 42% support, then we will have to look for a coalition partner, and there is no doubt that the voters will indicate such a partner. There is also no doubt that we will look for a coalition partner on the right side of the political scene, where Konfederacja is – said Przemysław Czarnek in PR24.

08:26

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Bodnar's Letter to Hołownia:

Quite Astonishing Letter.

- Quite an astonishing letter, because it states certain irregularities concerning which, as I understand it, the prosecutor's office is undertaking and must undertake effective actions, however, informing the Marshal about this – the letter is inconclusive. Frankly, it's a bit surprising – Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said in an interview with Dominika Wielowieyska on Poranek TOK FM. - After all, the Marshal knows, he counts on the role of the prosecutor's office, however, according to the existing law, all documents, including Supreme Court decisions, have been published by the Prime Minister. And with full awareness that the Supreme Court was demolished by PiS, there is no other way and everyone is heading towards the swearing-in of the one whom the vast majority of Poles have chosen. Even if it is not our choice, it is certainly not mine – she pointed out.

08:29

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz to Miss Nawrocki's Swearing-In Ceremony:

I have a long-planned vacation.

- I would have appeared, but as it happens, I have a long-planned vacation at this exact moment. But if it weren't a long-planned vacation, I would have shown up - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on Poranek TOK FM, when asked if she would attend Karol Nawrocki's swearing-in ceremony on August 6th. As she explained: - I am not a parliamentarian, and I planned my vacation by looking primarily at the KPO and at when we need to prepare the revision, when we need to submit payment applications. There's a very short period when things will be already set up, I can go on my planned vacation and return, and in the second half of August, very important things will be happening with the KPO.

08:35

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Anti-Immigrant Protests:

This Way of Behaving by Demonstrators Has Nothing to Do with Security.

- Of course, I'm not talking about everyone who demonstrated [on Saturday], because Poland is a free country and it's permissible to demonstrate – but still, the number of people who behaved incredibly vulgarly, shouted, behaved brutally towards the police, and absolutely, I don't want to use this word, but rudely formulated threats out loud... – said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on TOK FM's Morning show. - These are unacceptable things and precisely in the language of traditional values, I would say, this way of behaving by demonstrators has nothing to do with any security, any peace, and with building anything whatsoever – she assessed.

08:38

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

I Had a Meeting with Prime Minister Tusk

- After a few days when I was saying there were no talks [regarding the reconstruction], the talks have now started intensely. I had a meeting with the Prime Minister on Saturday, and of course, Marshal Hołownia also returned from his planned leave, and the talks will continue today – said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Poranek TOK FM.

08:44

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

We Propose All Construction Be Under My Ministry. I'm Ready to Invite a Deputy Minister from The Left to Cooperate

- Part of construction is already in the Ministry of Funds. Unfortunately, under PiS, it was divided between two ministries, and that is not good, not effective. Part of it is in my ministry, which is why we propose that all of it be in my ministry, and I am ready to invite a deputy minister from The Left to cooperate in the Ministry of Funds – said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz during the TOK FM Morning program.

08:51

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Internal Changes in Poland 2050:

We Will Emerge Stronger

- Poland 2050 is currently undergoing what I believe to be a very good internal process of reflection and evaluation following the election results, both for the entire coalition and for ourselves. We will emerge stronger from this, with a very clear programmatic message and immense determination to work and deliver on the issues we have committed to – said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in the TOK FM Morning Show. - The areas that are important to us, which we are constantly highlighting, are housing, development, new technologies, investments, but also fixing such fundamental things as State Treasury companies and public TVP – she continued.

09:00

Jaki:

Duda Wouldn't Be a Good Prime Minister

- I don't think so - replied Patryk Jaki in the program „Bez Uników” on PR3, when asked if Andrzej Duda would be a good Prime Minister. - Poland is in a time where very charismatic, good leadership is needed […] - he continued. Pressed on whether Andrzej Duda lacks this, the PiS vice-chairman replied: - Meaning, in terms of public appearances and, meaning in, if one were to consider his character traits for the role he currently holds, that is, a representative one, then I think so. However, the function of Prime Minister is more of an executive function in difficult times, where difficult decisions need to be made. - With him, it has been mixed when it comes to these difficult decisions, so Poland, especially at this moment, is at a point where it cannot wait. We have a very difficult geopolitical environment. Let us recall that we still don't know how the war in the East will unfold. Poland must strengthen itself, so I believe we will be looking for another candidate for Prime Minister - he continued.

09:01

Jaki:

Duda Knows He Made a Mistake Regarding the Judiciary

- In my opinion, his interview was rather an attempt to whitewash his mistakes where he made them. And in my opinion, he is aware that he made a crucial, fundamental mistake concerning the judiciary. If he had made a different decision then, I am convinced that Poland would look different today. And it's already evident that blackmail for European money then, [saying] if we withdraw from reforming our own state [then we will receive money] - stated Patryk Jaki in the program 'Bez Uników' on PR3. - Speaking of history, it reminds me exactly of the 18th century. So then we will get money. Money was dangled before us, as you all remember [...] ultimately there was no money. I mean, during our government, there was no money. Ultimately, there was no money, and the mess in the courts increased. And in my opinion, this is an attempt to whitewash his mistakes - he continued. - There were many such mistakes, and the time will come for a summary of this presidency - Jaki concluded.

09:02

Jaki:

We Have Many Candidates for Prime Minister of a PiS and Confederation Government

The answer here is simple, President Jarosław Kaczyński, because he has experience, he has charisma, and I know that in such situations, he wouldn't back down - Patryk Jaki replied in the program 'Bez Uników' on PR3, when asked who would be the best prime minister for a PiS and Confederation government. - [...] We have many candidates who could meet these requirements that I'm talking about. That is, to lead Poland charismatically. Why am I talking about this? Well, I'm talking about it because the time will come, for example, for this migration pact, and then the European Union will be pressing to accept migrants whom nobody wants. Poland will be expected to receive a relatively large number of them, and then a prime minister will be needed who will say, "no way" - he continued. - That is, he is talking about exactly the same thing as he spoke about a hundred-plus specific points, and this is exactly the same. I remember when Donald Tusk said that we are bad at European politics because only Hungary supports us, and when it came to voting on the migration pact, when he became prime minister, only Hungary supported him. He said that we would be beneficiaries of the migration pact, and then, and today he says that this migration pact will be bad after all - Jaki stated, when asked about Donald Tusk's announcements regarding the migration pact. - Then he claimed that this invalidates the referendum, and then it turned out that we all see that we have a gigantic problem with this. And I just want to say that what is happening now at our border with Germany, that is, that is nothing compared to what will happen next year when the migration pact comes into force - he continued.

13:41

Czarzasty Asked About Removing Bosak as Deputy Speaker:

There’s a Simple Way to Do It.

- Coalition talks on such important matters as government reconstruction should be conducted in silence, which I guarantee from at least Lewica's side, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk should be the one to inform about them. I will not change the principles on this matter - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with journalists in the Sejm. Asked about the removal of Krzysztof Bosak from the position of Deputy Speaker of the Sejm, he replied: - Regarding Deputy Speaker Bosak, I was the only person who was very strongly against appointing Deputy Speaker Bosak to the presidium. If anyone believes that Marshal Hołownia was strongly in favour of this appointment, and if the Deputy Speaker of the Senate from Poland 2050 believes that Marshal Bosak should be removed from the presidium, there is a simple way to do it. Marshal Hołownia should put forward such a motion at the next presidium meeting. - I was against appointing Marshal Bosak to the position of a presidium member and I consistently remain against this appointment - added Czarzasty.

13:42

Petru:

A Second Government Reshuffle Will Inevitably Happen in November. Some Are Even Talking About a Change of Prime Minister

- Of course, a smaller government will streamline work, but a second reshuffle will inevitably happen in November, when Marshal Hołownia's mandate as Marshal Hołownia expires, and another deeper reshuffle will have to take place. Some are talking about a change of prime minister – stated Ryszard Petru on TOK FM. - I am convinced that this will happen [another reshuffle]. I'm not talking now about something that has been agreed upon or formalized, I'm telling you that as a politician, I foresee this type of situation, that another correction will occur. I do not rule out such a scenario, but that is a decision for PO, and you should ask them about it – he continued.

13:53

Siemoniak:

Poland Spent PLN 2.6 Billion and Deployed 11,000 Officers and Soldiers to Ensure the EU Border is Safe

- Poland spent PLN 2.6 billion, Poland is deploying 11,000 officers and soldiers here, to ensure this European Union border is safe - said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference. - I want to show this to the German Minister of the Interior with the feeling that the fight against illegal migration must take place at the external borders of the European Union, right here - he continued.

13:57

Siemoniak on Stopping Illegal Migration at the Border:

Our Effectiveness Reaches 97-98%

- We are doing everything to stop illegal migration right here, so that these individuals do not get into Poland and further into Germany and other countries. We estimate that thanks to the service of our officers and soldiers, thanks to physical security measures, thanks to the electronic barrier, our effectiveness reaches 97-98% - said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference.

14:03

Siemoniak:

If Germany Abolishes Border Controls, We Will Do the Same

- In our view, the controls on the German side, conducted by Germany, and the controls on the Polish side serve the mutual fight against illegal migration, but we are convinced that one of the greatest values of the European Union is the freedom of travel and the absence of border controls, meaning the 40-year-old Schengen area. Therefore, if the German side decides at some point to abandon these controls, as our Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, has also stated, we too will not carry out checks at that border – said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference.

14:07

Siemoniak:

For Now, We Will Extend All Regulations Serving Border Protection

- For now, we will extend all regulations serving border protection, the temporary suspension of the right to asylum, the buffer zone, and also the temporary controls on these two borders [with Germany and Lithuania] - said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference.

14:13

Siemoniak:

We Count on Germany's Financial Support for Defending the EU's External Borders

- Today's visit by Minister Alexander Dobrindt demonstrates that we are jointly assessing the threats and problems facing Germany and Poland. We are counting on Germany's support within the European Union for various initiatives, including financial support for the defense of the EU's external borders. The problems of migration are shared [...] no single country will solve these problems at the expense of another within the European Union; we must solve them together - said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference.

14:35

Bąkiewicz a "beautiful person"? Siemoniak: I don't want to discuss Kaczyński's tastes, mine are different

- I don't want to discuss President Kaczyński's tastes, my taste is definitely different from his. I do not accept actions where our officers are hindered or insulted; fortunately, that has ended - said Tomasz Siemoniak at a press conference, when asked about Jarosław Kaczyński's words about the Border Defence Movement ("a beautiful movement of beautiful people") and whether "Robert Bąkiewicz is a beautiful person". - I invite all border defenders to join the Border Guard and come here to serve, alongside these brave officers and soldiers, here where it is truly dangerous - he continued.

14:44

"Three Numbers That Say It All": Siemoniak on the Actual Scale of Foreigners Turned Back from the German Border to Poland

- I will answer your question with three numbers that say it all when it comes to individuals handed over from the German side. These are illegal migrants with the so-called Belarusian trace; in 2023, there were 12,000 of them, in 2024, 5,000, and this year, by mid-year, 800 - Tomasz Siemoniak stated at a press conference, when asked about the actual scale of foreigners being turned back from the German border to Poland. - These are the real numbers that show the scale of the problem, because it is not fair or honest to include Ukrainian citizens who cannot enter Germany because they do not have the appropriate residence permit, and they constitute the majority among those not being admitted to Germany - he continued.

17:05

Government Spokesperson Announces Date and Time of Government Reshuffle

- The Prime Minister will announce the composition of the new Council of Ministers on Wednesday at 10:00 AM - wrote government spokesperson Adam Szłapka on the X portal.

Premier ogłosi skład nowej Rady Ministrów w środę o godzinie 10.00.

Nawrocki Reveals Who Will Head the Presidential Chancellery

Indeed, Zbigniew Bogucki will be the head of my chancellery. On the one hand, he is a very experienced civil servant, a very good Voivode of West Pomerania, primarily a lawyer, a legal expert, a prosecutor, and it is known that legislative initiatives and overall legislation are very important in the work of the chancellery. He is a person who was deeply involved in my election campaign, with great efficiency and effectiveness - stated Karol Nawrocki in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.

18:25

Nawrocki Names Minister Responsible for Polonia

- There will be a minister in the President's Chancellery responsible for Poles and Polonia outside of Poland. At the same time, she will be responsible for the entire body of decorations of the President of the Republic of Poland. The entire Chancellery is constructed in such a way that, besides experienced politicians, this Chancellery will also consist of people who are coming to the Chancellery, to cooperate with the president, entirely from outside politics - stated Karol Nawrocki in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja. - So, Agnieszka Jędrzak will be the minister responsible for Polonia and Poles abroad and for decorations - the president-elect continued.

18:25

Nawrocki Reveals Deputy Head of Chancellery's Name:

Connected to Nationalist Circles, Which is Also Important to Me.

- Adam Andruszkiewicz will be the deputy to Zbigniew Bogucki [as head of the Presidential Chancellery]. Despite his young age, as he is one of the most talented politicians of the younger generation, he is already a very experienced parliamentarian: 10 years, a third term in the Polish Sejm - stated Karol Nawrocki in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja. - In his youth, he was the president of Młodzież Wszechpolska (All-Polish Youth), thus connected to nationalist circles, which is also important to me. Above all, Adam Andruszkiewicz was responsible for the success of the social media campaign together with Jakub Nadstawny and Mikołaj Bujak. […] He is also a person whose energy, creativity, and love for Poland will determine the work of the entire Presidential Chancellery - he stated.

18:28

A Sad Spectacle Poland's Democracy Likely Didn't Need. Nawrocki on Allegations of Forgery and Demands for Recounts

- It was a sad spectacle. Poland's democracy likely didn't need such a spectacle. It's hard to explain within the realm of logic how an opposition candidate, against whom the Polish state apparatus was used, could have mechanically or methodically influenced electoral processes with their surroundings to falsify them. Of course, this action was entirely unserious from the very beginning and sad for the image of Polish democracy, but it seems that it is now behind us, and those who engaged in this action will be left with remorse - stated Karol Nawrocki in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.

18:29

Nawrocki Urges Government on Deregulation:

Let This Be an Expression of My Great Goodwill.

- I am also thinking about the deregulation process, about what was supposed to happen by the end of May, and 100 such solutions were to be prepared. They were not prepared. I am counting on at least 50 such solutions being prepared by the end of August, and let this be an expression of my great goodwill and understanding - stated Karol Nawrocki in “Unfinished Conversations” on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.

18:35

Nawrocki:

I Feel a Duty to End the Polish-Polish War, at Least Within Families

- We have reached a point in Polish political and social life where, worst of all, unnecessary political tensions are arising within families and many communities - stated Karol Nawrocki in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja. - I certainly recognize that political dispute is part of democracy; it should take place in parliament, in the mass media, when we discuss our programs. However, I feel a duty […], to end this Polish-Polish war - at least within our family spaces, our communities - he stated.

18:49

Nawrocki:

Fans are people who, when needed, are always where they should be – on Poland's side

- Fans are also a certain phenomenon of people who, when needed, whether for defending borders or protesting against illegal migration, are always where they should be – that is, on Poland's side - stated Karol Nawrocki in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja. - All of this shows that recently a certain social, civic movement of responsibility for Poland has awakened in the country. Many circles are engaging in political solutions or awakening political elites to act on specific matters - he continued.

18:49

Nawrocki on the Timeline for Announcing Legislative Initiatives

- Of course, on August 7th I will announce my legislative initiatives, and in the following days of August, there will be many such initiatives. However, given the current state of the Polish state's finances, which have been destroyed by the actions of the current government, these proposals require further consultations and readiness to ensure my proposals are feasible - stated Karol Nawrocki during "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja.

18:54

Nawrocki:

It's Disturbing That Our Brave Border Guards Have Been Forced into Confrontation with Activists Due to the Tusk Government's Inaction

- What is disturbing, however, is that our brave border guards, who are guarding the Polish border, have been forced into a kind of confrontation with activists due to the Tusk government's inaction. Activists who were drawing attention... We are absolutely not targeting the Border Guard; they are our heroes, let's be clear, who, like in all uniformed services, carry out orders, directives, and implement government policy - stated Karol Nawrocki in "Unfinished Conversations" on TV Trwam and Radio Maryja. - What hurt me the most, as a future president, in this situation was that due to the inaction and a certain communication propaganda of Donald Tusk's government, there was an attempt to divide activists from the Border Guard. Some are our heroes in uniform, guarding Poland's borders, and others have simply very effectively drawn attention to what is happening on Poland's western border - he continued.

20:40

"Today We Have a Very Clear Choice." Bielan on the "Polish Lukashenko"

- It seems to me that from the perspective of 2-3 weeks, it can already be said that Szymon Hołownia has endured this, he has kept the party together, apart from one MP leaving and one MP being suspended. He clearly stated that he does not intend to stop meeting with opposition leaders. I hope that one day he will join the camp of democrats, because today we have a very clear choice - stated Adam Bielan in an interview with Ewa Bugała on TV Republika. - On one hand, the Polish Lukashenko - Tusk, who wanted to carry out a coup d'état, prevent the swearing-in of a democratically elected president, and will certainly be held accountable for it sooner or later. On the other hand, the democrats, who gained a decisive majority in the presidential elections - he continued.

20:44

Bielan:

Tusk Lost the Referendum. His Days Are Numbered

- He is the Prime Minister, we very clearly stated, and Karol Nawrocki primarily said it, that these elections would be a referendum on the government, and Donald Tusk lost this referendum. From this moment on, his days are numbered. Whether he will leave in 2 months or in 8 months - it's difficult for me to say - stated Adam Bielan on TV Republika.

20:58

"He'll Have Time to Rebuild." Bielan on Hołownia Joining the "Democrats' Camp"

- In a coalition with Tusk, [Szymon Hołownia] faces a slow political death. That is, he will leave the position of Marshal in November. Considering the fatal personal relations between Hołownia and Donald Tusk, I can't really imagine him joining Donald Tusk's government. He will become an ordinary MP, and over these last 2 years, he will be increasingly sidelined, and his party will be plundered - stated Adam Bielan on TV Republika. - Or he has a second option - to join the Democrats' camp, which involves some risk, perhaps that some actress or other celebrity will criticize him for it, but this term lasts for another 2 years. He will have time to rebuild - he continued.

21:15

Bielan:

Tusk is the German Viceroy in Poland

After these words from Merz, there is probably no longer any doubt – Tusk is the German viceroy in Poland. He is the Prime Minister who was elected by the Sejm, I do not question that, however, if we trace his entire political career, as Paweł Piskorski, whom I have already mentioned, said directly, in the 1990s Germans brought Tusk money in shopping bags – stated Adam Bielan on TV Republika.
