At 9:00 AM in Wolanów, President Karol Nawrocki, together with his wife Marta Nawrocka, will participate in the inauguration of the 2025/2026 school year.

At 10:00 AM, Minister of Education Barbara Nowacka will take part in nationwide commemorations in Gdynia.

On the 86th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, President Karol Nawrocki will visit Wieluń. At 4:45 PM, a meeting with witnesses of the Wieluń bombing and scouts is scheduled, followed at 5:00 PM by a ceremony for awarding state decorations, and at 5:20 PM, the laying of a wreath at the monument commemorating 1,200 residents of Wieluń.

Subsequently, at 5:30 PM, President Nawrocki will meet with the residents of Wieluń.

– Karol Nawrocki's honeymoon period is currently underway, and every stage of a presidency has its time and its consequences. Prime Minister Tusk also had his honeymoon period, for example, in December 2023, and it's difficult to compare the last half-year of Duda's ten-year presidency or the last year, when the PO government first came to power, to what is happening now – stated Marcin Mastalerek in the "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" program on TVN24.

– Andrzej Duda was the first leader in the world, I know many in Poland don't want to hear this, don't want to admit it, but it was in the White House that Andrzej Duda put forward the proposal to increase [defense spending] to 3% [of GDP]. At the time, Joe Biden was against it, he said: no, let's not break it. He also put it forward in Trump Tower in April 2024, and today everyone has increased it. I know that many in Polish politics look at Andrzej Duda and can't stand it, but that's the truth. Andrzej Duda made the world safer, there will be increased spending, NATO is stronger – stated Marcin Mastalerek in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

– I think Karol Nawrocki is exactly the type of politician Donald Trump likes, but he also really likes President Duda. However, you know, liking or disliking in politics, I've said this many times, is like liking tomato soup. What matters is achieving, using a good relationship to achieve success – stated Marcin Mastalerek in the TVN24 program „Rozmowa Piaseckiego”.

– You tell that [that health education is 'a storm in a teacup'] to the hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the streets of Polish cities who pressured Mrs. Nowacka to make this subject at least optional, because they don't want their children to receive such content. I don't blame those parents in the slightest. As a father myself, I will soon withdraw my son from these classes, from health education. It's completely obvious – said Przemysław Czarnek in Super Express's 'Morning Ring'.

– I believe that, paradoxically, in foreign policy, this leak won't necessarily hinder or harm; in fact, it will certainly be a symbolic success. However, it's a bad thing, it shouldn't happen... I don't know who released it, but if it were someone from President Nawrocki's staff, I would certainly give that person a severe reprimand. Maybe not a fool, but certainly someone who damages international relations – stated Marcin Mastalerek on TVN24's 'Piasecki's Conversation'.

– Perhaps it was simply Sikorski's gambit. Sikorski leaked it, claims that 'they' leaked it, and now calls them fools. We don't know Radosław Sikorski's sense of humor – stated Marcin Mastalerek in 'Rozmowa Piaseckiego' on TVN24.

– Family life education was truly a good subject, and sex education within that subject and other subjects in school was of a high standard. However, what is being introduced [health education] is demoralizing, and there is no storm in a teacup here – said Przemysław Czarnek in the "Morning Ring" of Super Express.

– I am surprised, because one can make things up, invent things, but there are certain limits. This man [Marcin Kędryna] was dismissed a short while later, and it won't be long before he probably also holds some grievances against me for leaking to the media and simply making up various situations. For that, he was simply fired [from the Chancellery of the President] – stated Marcin Mastalerek in 'Rozmowa Piaseckiego' on TVN24.

– This gentleman very much wanted to become a minister, even an advisor. He was a regular employee in the Presidential Chancellery, and he was fired precisely for leaking to the media. However, he tried to put himself on par with ministers, but he will remain a frog. He's far from being a horse – he continued.

– Just ask Editor Mazurek – Radosław Sikorski wrote on platform X, responding to Marcin Masalski's words.

– Parliamentary elections are still two years away. A lot can happen. Some are already dividing the coalition today, forgetting that in December 2023, the atmosphere was, it seems, quite different from that in May and April 2025, when people marched against Donald Tusk and Rafał Trzaskowski. Two years is an eternity – stated Marcin Mastalerek in TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego."

– Let's remember that today every school can introduce these restrictions, and more and more schools are introducing them. The school principal, in consultation with the parents' council, can ban the use of smartphones, and this ban is in place in many schools. [...] It's not as if there isn't such a possibility – said Przemysław Czarnek in "Poranny ring" on Super Express.

– However, I am in favor of introducing this centrally. School is not a place for using smartphones, phones, even during breaks. They can be at school, for example, in lockers, but they should not be used by children. Especially in primary schools, of course, we are talking about this in particular – but only "in particular," because it might also apply to secondary schools – he stated.

– So I am in favor of introducing such a solution. We haven't introduced it yet in the 2019–2023 term. We ran out of time. Today, there is also greater parental acceptance for this type of action, because we all know that it is harmful – he explained.

– We need to end the myth that, I don't know, Confederation is like a second PiS, only, I don't know, more radical. It's a completely different party. They have completely different views. Let's look at economic issues. There was a debate recently between Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Sławomir Mentzen. Do you know what impression I had at the end of that debate? That Sławomir Mentzen is a young Balcerowicz. I mean, he simply speaks like Leszek Balcerowicz from the early 90s. If he wants to introduce Poland in this manner, without innovation, with cheap labor, then we fundamentally differ on these matters – stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti," when asked about PiS's relations with Confederation.

– And that needs to be said. And of course, we can talk about future coalitions, but we also need to talk today about what differentiates us, so that voters can ultimately decide. Whether they choose a little Balcerowicz, Sławomir Mentzen, as a candidate to lead the Polish economy, or whether they choose social solidarity, free market principles, but a wise free market approach, which is offered by Law and Justice – he continued.

– We believe that the foundation of the economy is private initiative, meaning the involvement of private business activity, private capital, but that the state has an important function of financial leverage, financial injection at crucial moments, especially during breakthroughs. Just as it is happening now in the United States or China, and some European countries are doing exactly the same. They know that there is an economic breakthrough, for example, in artificial intelligence, in robotics, in other technologies; they fuel it financially because they know it will yield returns in the future – he continued.

– Undoubtedly, Mateusz Morawiecki won. It was a great defeat for Sławomir Mentzen, which I am extremely happy about, because Mateusz Morawiecki outpointed Mentzen, in many instances exposing the lies of Mentzen and the Konfederacja (Confederation) circles directed at PiS. But Sławomir Mentzen himself decided on this, by inviting Mateusz Morawiecki to this meeting – said Przemysław Czarnek on Super Express’s “Poranny ring” (Morning Ring), when asked about Thursday’s “Beer with Mentzen.”

– Mateusz Morawiecki was our only representative at these meetings, which was agreed upon with Chairman Jarosław Kaczyński, and it turned out excellently – he pointed out.

– It wasn't just about reiterating these demands, but primarily about preparing a comprehensive report on war losses. We prepared such a report – over 6 trillion Polish złoty, which would be the calculated result of the wartime destruction carried out by the Germans – stated Piotr Müller on Polsat News's 'Graffiti', when asked about the issue of reparations from Germany, following President Nawrocki's discussion of this topic today at Westerplatte.

– We sent this report, we sent an official note on this matter to the German government, and of course, the German government is assertive in this regard, but that doesn't mean we should stop fighting for reparations and for what seems natural after the criminal actions carried out by Germany at that time – he continued.

– What the ultimate outcome of these negotiations would be is, of course, another matter, but I will give an example of other criminal actions by the Germans from the late 19th century in the territory of present-day Namibia. And here, at one point, Germany agreed to pay compensation – he continued.

– Indeed, some EU countries would like to send troops there as part of this 'coalition of the willing'. That's why I keep wondering exactly in what capacity Donald Tusk is participating here. Because he is in this 'coalition of the willing', yet he claims we are not sending any troops. Well, that's a bit inconsistent – stated Piotr Müller in the program 'Polityczne Graffiti' on Polsat News.

– We have been providing logistics since the beginning, when the war broke out, and after all, the Jasionka logistics hub and many other logistical routes pass through Poland, so this would essentially be a continuation of that. And if it stopped there, I would consider that okay. However, if they wanted to send troops into Ukraine, then of course I am skeptical – he continued.

– We are already, in fact, the support base for protecting NATO's eastern flank, therefore it would, of course, be necessary to go into details and assess each of these decisions separately, because it's very difficult to generalize them – Müller concluded.

– During the election campaign, which then propelled presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki, the President, buoyed by that campaign, stepped into the presidency overnight, hitting the ground running. This is the realization of what he spoke about during the campaign, and it's a very bold, dynamic presidency from the very beginning, just as was promised during the campaign – stated Paweł Szefernaker in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

– The President said during the election campaign that he would be the one to make the government work, and this is one of the President's prerogatives that will be used during his presidency. The Constitution, as well as statutory provisions, establish various possibilities related to the President being the one who will implement what he spoke about during the campaign, i.e., the possibility of convening councils, the possibility of exercising vetoes, cooperation with the government, thanks also to the mandate he received in the campaign, because he received over 10.5 million votes with record turnout in the history of presidential elections, which means that the President will certainly be the one to do what he spoke about during the campaign – stated Paweł Szefernaker on Radio Plus.

– He spoke of a dynamic presidency, of the fact that everything bad will be the subject of his intervention, everything bad that comes from the government, and he said that he would conduct an active policy, such as he can implement within the framework of the prerogatives he has. Hence, active domestic policy, but also foreign policy, because in a few days the President will be in Washington, in line with his election promise, he spoke about this during the campaign – he continued.

– The gentlemen [Karol Nawrocki and Andrzej Duda] also participated in events in recent days related to the 45th anniversary of the August events in Gdańsk. They are in contact, they talk. I did not participate in these events or conversations, so I don't know the details, but President Duda's relations with President Nawrocki, which was also evident in the final weeks of the election campaign, are good, and I believe that if there is a need, President Nawrocki will also discuss these matters with President Duda. There are no problems here – stated Paweł Szefernaker on Radio Plus.

– Also, the transfer of power, specifically related to the exercise of the presidential function, took place in a way that unequivocally indicated a certain element of continuity. That is to say, everyone has their own character traits, certain obligations to the voters they campaigned to represent, and it will certainly be a different presidency, but it will be a presidency that, in matters related to relations with the USA, will certainly be a form of continuity – continued the head of the Polish President's Cabinet.

– 

First and foremost, this is the main goal – a new opening in relations with our main ally, because Donald Tusk's political camp, the Polish Prime Minister, has no relations there. There would be no relations, no new opening, if Rafał Trzaskowski were president, yet the new President of the Republic of Poland, in accordance with his commitment, is making his first visit to Washington a full month after his inauguration – stated Paweł Szefernaker on Radio Plus.

– Let's be frank, this is a budget with the largest deficit, most likely, because I don't believe its projections will be met. This year we have the largest deficit in history, and in my opinion, next year it will be even larger, around 300 billion zlotys, though they showed a bit less. Well, I don't like it, because this budget also shows that we have a problem with the integrity of the tax system. And that's bad news, it means that the National Revenue Administration is busy, I don't know, controlling some associations that received patriotic grants, instead of prosecuting people who simply don't pay taxes – stated Piotr Müller on Polsat News's 'Graffiti' program, when asked about the state of public finances.

– Of course, and that's partly why I understand a portion of this deficit, but not at the level of 300 billion zlotys. And besides, it's also important from the revenue side. Is something leaking again from the state budget's revenue side, just like during Donald Tusk's seven or eight years as prime minister? Back then, VAT mafias heavily drained the budget, and I'm looking at it from that angle – both the revenue and expenditure sides. Of course, I would also have comments in a few areas, but I am certainly aware that defense spending is necessary, and I am also aware that we must constantly ensure that the budget is not simply stolen – he continued.

– When we look at these wonderful students, we see who is the hero of today – yes, it is you, dear youth, dear children, you are the most important today. […] You, upon graduating from school, will become enlightened citizens of the Republic of Poland. This is a great honor for you, but also a significant commitment that lies before you, before your wonderful parents, and before your teachers – said President Karol Nawrocki during the inauguration of the school year at Primary School named after John Paul II in Wolanów.

– Childhood and youth are a vast land from which we all set sail once. I would very much like to be a child again, I think my wife would too. This is the time when we are joyful, we learn, but also when we gain knowledge, skills, and abilities that enable us to function when we are already adults – he continued.

– Coming to you, to Wolanów, to the Radom region, I am full of happiness, even though this morning I was at Westerplatte and I am going to Wieluń to commemorate our heroes. I wanted to be with you today together with my wife, to see how, thanks to your teachers, thanks to you and your parents, our beautiful, beloved homeland, Poland, is growing – he indicated.

– Believe in yourselves, study, be proud Poles. I believe that Polish students will graduate from Polish schools. This should be normal both in Poland, and it is normal all over the world. […] Long live the students, long live the teachers, greetings to the wonderful parents. Long live Poland – the president concluded.

– This year is a year of breakthrough. Although the “Compass of Tomorrow” reform will come into effect from September 1, 2026, two very significant changes are already being introduced in secondary schools. These are civic education and health education, which are so necessary in contemporary life – said Barbara Nowacka during the nationwide inauguration of the 2025/2026 school year in Gdynia.

– Every young person who will enter social life, we want them to be a conscious female citizen and male citizen, to take action in their local community, to act for their city [...], for the Republic. To function, understanding history and tradition, building the national community, which we need very much – she continued.

– Health education is a response to the challenges of the modern world, to threats concerning physical and mental health. Counteracting, for example, addictions and making wise and conscious decisions that can save your lives and the lives of others – she continued.

– This morning at Westerplatte, important words were spoken about history, memory, tradition, courage, and patriotism. There is no nation that does not foster patriotic attitudes. A nation that does not care for its history, fails to respect and understand it—with all its complexity and the full weight of its experiences, and without remembering its heroes—is a nation that loses its roots – said Barbara Nowacka during the inauguration of the school year at the Hotel and Catering School Complex in Gdynia.

– We will also invest in what is a great Polish future, namely new technologies. We have one of the best mathematics and STEM schools in the world. For years, for generations, these investments in mathematics – yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is mandatory for the Matura exam, and this will not change – and in STEM fields have been building a strong economy, a modern society that is resilient to fake news and economic turbulence. Therefore, nearly 5 billion PLN is allocated this year for digital investments in education – said Barbara Nowacka during the nationwide inauguration of the 2025/2026 school year in Gdynia.

– In recent days, there has been a radical shift in the Polish government's stance regarding the agreement with Mercosur countries. At the Cabinet Council, Donald Tusk declared that he is conceding this issue and will not even discuss it further, as it is a lost cause. Yesterday, we hosted Ursula von der Leyen, and the Mercosur issue was entirely absent from the agenda of discussions on Polish matters. Therefore, from this platform, we demand a fight for this issue, we demand commitment to this matter, and a reversal of the decision to abandon it – stated Waldemar Buda at a press conference.

– I vowed I would vote for PiS if they delivered on reparations, but no transfer arrived for my family. They didn't even include the word 'reparations' in their diplomatic note to Germany – Radosław Sikorski posted on platform X.

As the Foreign Minister stated: – If President Karol Nawrocki secures them, he'll get my vote. Because he certainly can't be fooling Poles, can he?

– We call on the Speaker of the Sejm to ensure that this bill [concerning energy prices] is discussed at the session starting as early as next week. The PiS parliamentary club's bill concerning the energy shield is also pending in the Sejm. It is indeed more comprehensive, as it also addresses freezing energy prices for public utility institutions, including local governments, to prevent an increase in prices and household living costs – stated Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

– There are two bills, and the PiS parliamentary club is fully prepared to work on them, and it is in the interest of Poland and Poles that the energy shield be adopted – continued the head of the PiS club.

– The economic situation isn't as rosy as Prime Minister Tusk recently portrayed it. He spoke of a good level of growth. We do not deny that 3.75% or 3.85% annually is a good pace of development for Poland's GDP per capita – said Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

– The only catch is that achieving such growth with the help of a huge budget deficit is an old, well-known method, but is truly unsustainable, because it can lead to an extremely severe crisis in public finances, and of course, this crisis in public finances then translates into a broader economic crisis – he stated.

– Such a possibility [of obtaining reparations from Germany] exists, although obtaining it is certainly not a short process and requires many different actions. However, the condition for achieving it is the unity of all serious political forces in Poland on this matter – Jarosław Kaczyński said at a press conference.

– Today, as we have been saying for many months, if not years, the government is run by an external formation. It represents – this is evident in many moves – German interests, for instance, this issue with wind turbines – he stated.

– This is a profoundly dishonest stance, bearing absolutely no relation to what Germans like to preach and do preach about themselves – that they are a model democracy, that they have entirely rejected the past. They did not reject it; they did not punish the criminals. They created a system where criminals were not punished but could build political careers, served at high levels of state administration, and failed to pay reparations – said Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

– I've used this term before: if we speak of countries where communism existed and then collapsed around the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, calling them post-communist states – because there, too, criminals were not punished, and changes in the political sphere and the personnel structure of the state apparatus were either nonexistent or highly inadequate […], then, in this sense, Germany is a post-Nazi state – he opined.

– "Gazeta Wyborcza" writes that Poland owes no one as much as it owes Germany. This is a blatant and systemic operation to humiliate Poles. Such a disgraceful statement is a slap in the face to the victims of World War II and their families. Poland paid a terrible price. Millions of victims, destroyed cities, an economy set back decades, taken independence, taken freedom. To this day, we have not received the due reparations for these wrongs and losses. Poland has no obligations whatsoever to Germany. It is Germany that still has an enormous, unpaid debt to Poland – said Mateusz Morawiecki in a recording published on social media.

– In order to recover reparations from Germany, a whole series of events must occur that will oblige and compel Germany to return them. And such possibilities exist – said Przemysław Czarnek on TV Republika’s program “Ewa Bugała. Wszystko jasne.”

– Madam Editor, allow me not to elaborate on this in this studio, even in such an excellent program. Everything should be clear, but not everything can be laid on the table, so as not to preempt events. However, I assure you that there are methods and ways to recover these reparations from Germany – he stated.

– This government will obviously do nothing [regarding reparations]. This government tells us to be grateful for 20% of pre-war Germany's territory, which was well-urbanized. There are even some in Poland who claim that if Germany had calculated properly, those 20% they gave us in western Poland would essentially balance everything out, and perhaps we would even have to pay extra – said Przemysław Czarnek in the TV Republika program “Ewa Bugała. Wszystko jasne.”

– These are people whom I refuse the right to call themselves Poles. These are people who have Polish citizenship, but completely lack pride in their Polishness and do not feel the interest of the Polish state, subjects of the Germans as such – he stated.

– The other side engages in the pedagogy of shame. Our side practices the pedagogy of pride. We are proud to be Polish and have no complexes, as demonstrated by Karol Nawrocki. The Prime Minister is ashamed to be Polish because he practices the pedagogy of shame – said Przemysław Czarnek during the program "Ewa Bugała. Everything is Clear" on TV Republika.

“If PiS returns to power, will civic education and health education be abolished?” asked Ewa Bugała in her program on TV Republika.

“We are immediately returning to History and the Present, especially since we are prepared for it. And health education is to be scrapped only because it contains a component that smuggles in that primitive, permissive, demoralizing, and depraving sex education,” replied Przemysław Czarnek.

– Behind these statistics lie emotions. There is the depravity of German perpetrators, fueled by the words of Adolf Hitler in Obersalzberg. He shouted: be merciless, be brutal. The destruction of Poland is your first task. After the words came deeds, and after the deeds, words also followed. Because one of the German airmen said that what he saw after dropping 46 tons of bombs on Wieluń was terrifyingly beautiful. He felt pride in the task accomplished, in death, in destruction. What happened in Poland on September 1, 1939, and throughout World War II, was a hecatomb and was what the American philosopher and historian, Richard Lucas, called the forgotten Holocaust. It was a forgotten Holocaust, because after those who dropped the bombs, others followed – stated President Karol Nawrocki in Wieluń.

– Dialogue, cooperation, and the admission of guilt are what we have been waiting for for many years, and it is happening. But there is also real politics and the real needs of our state, as well as the real needs of Wieluń. It is no coincidence that there is a banner here reading 'reparations from Germany for Wieluń' – stated President Karol Nawrocki in Wieluń.

– On the one hand, one must refer to the words of the President of the Republic, Mr. Karol Nawrocki, who speaks the language of Polish interests, of Polish raison d'état, who speaks the language of historical truth, and who also states that our western neighbours, namely Germany, have never made appropriate and adequate redress and compensation for the destruction, both biological and material, which they committed on the territory of the Republic – stated Zbigniew Bogucki on PR24, when asked about Radosław Sikorski's post.

– However, Radosław Sikorski, Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Minister of Foreign Affairs, seems to follow the path of various unserious statements or posts – he continued.

– And I am also reminded of a statement by Radosław Sikorski from Kanał Zero, not long ago, still during the election campaign, when he spoke completely openly, without hesitation, that Poland gained from World War II the part of its territory that is in the west and north [...] Sometimes I wonder if this is the rhetoric of a Polish politician. And I say this very seriously – Bogucki concluded.

– Let's remember that law is the result of certain political understandings. And what succeeds politically can very often, indeed always, be enshrined in the letter of the law. If there's a will, there's also a way. Today, on the part of those in power, through the statement by Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski, I do not see the will to pursue Polish interests. And this is tragic in the context of this date, this very sad, tragic date of September 1st – stated Zbigniew Bogucki on PR24.

– Currently, the immediate agenda includes meetings with the U.S. President. There will also be meetings with countries in the region, such as the Baltic states and Finland, specifically with the President of Finland. This agenda is already confirmed and known. I am convinced that the President will also want to discuss these issues, which he addressed today at Westerplatte, with the German government and authorities – stated Zbigniew Bogucki on PR24.

– But here in Poland, we need unity, a very categorical, unified, and firm stance that, yes, these reparations and compensation are due to Poland – he continued.

– The President has his own mind, his own understanding, and his own knowledge in this area. And frankly, these kinds of various suggestions—not to say instructions, because that is altogether demeaning for the head of state—and an attempt to impose a certain narrative on people who utterly failed to get their narrative across to the White House, well, it's quite embarrassing, I must say. However, of course, there are matters that unite, and there are plenty of such matters here, and unfortunately, these were not very well developed during this government's term – stated Zbigniew Bogucki on PR24.

– When I read this document [government instructions for the president], I was surprised, because in this document, a conviction emerges that the president is to be, so to speak, I don't know, an advocate or a carrier of the European idea, in that European sense, meaning the interests of Europe. After all, we first have Polish interests – he continued.

– I was not present because we had divided tasks and responsibilities for that meeting. It was a meeting lasting a dozen or so minutes, and it obviously also touched upon the international agenda. The President and the Prime Minister, so to speak, exchanged remarks and views. I think it's good that this meeting took place, because we talked about the most important matters – stated Zbigniew Bogucki on PR24, when asked about Tusk's recent conversation with Nawrocki.

– Well, [cohabitation] will probably not be easy, because we are dealing with a clash of two different visions for Poland. On the one hand, a vision of an ambitious, developing Poland, a serious state, as the late President Kaczyński once used to say. This is the vision of President Karol Nawrocki. And on the other hand, a minimalist vision, one of imposibilism – that we can do nothing, that it's impossible, that we are just somewhere in that proverbial second carriage, not in first class, even though we are on an express train that is speeding ahead. Unfortunately, this is the vision of today's government, the government of Donald Tusk – he continued.

– A poll appeared today regarding whether Poles believe Karol Nawrocki will be a better president. I would like Karol Nawrocki to be a better president, and I am glad Poles believe he will be a better president. I have no problem with that. I gave my all. If someone asks me if I am satisfied with my presidency – yes, I am satisfied with my presidency. I did everything I could, everything I was capable of, according to my beliefs and conscience – stated Andrzej Duda on the program Rymanowski Live.

– I think we can create another institution [like a think tank], of which I, along with my collaborators, will in some sense be a patron. We will discuss the role of Poland, the place Poland should occupy, what kind of Poland it should be, and whether systemic changes are needed in Poland. We will engage in theoretical discussions about politics, proposing various solutions to people from the political scene – stated Andrzej Duda on the Rymanowski Live program.

– No, I'm not planning anything of the sort [like founding a political party] at the moment. No, there's generally no such custom [regarding rejoining PiS]. Anyway, I don't know if they would accept me back into PiS – stated Andrzej Duda on the Rymanowski Live program.

— In politics, you can neither take offense nor, most importantly, say “never.” Various situations arise in politics, and sometimes you have to change tack, put aside your various grievances or past disappointments, and move forward — stated Andrzej Duda on the Rymanowski Live program.

— No [I don't hold a grudge against Jarosław Kaczyński]. Not the slightest. I have always said that I have great respect for Chairman Kaczyński, if only because of the great risk he took by agreeing to it as the chairman of PiS, because, as he told me then, it was the result of the work of experts who were outside the party and identified me as the one they considered the best candidate for presidential candidate — he continued.

— Today, Mr. Chairman claims that my veto of the so-called judicial bills was seemingly a mistake. I still believe that it was absolutely not a mistake; it was the best solution that could have been reasonably applied at the time. Although Mr. Chairman also said in 2020 that it was the right decision. He evidently changed his mind since then — stated Andrzej Duda on Rymanowski Live.

– We had different opinions on this matter [Jacek Kurski's position as TVP President]. President Kaczyński believed he was right, I believed I was right. You know, the President lost the election in 2023. The question is, who outplayed whom? – stated Andrzej Duda on the program Rymanowski Live.

– I think so. I think it is indeed time for change in Polish politics and for young people to be allowed in. We are of a similar age; we were born in a Poland that was not fully sovereign and free, and in some sense, at least I believe, looking at myself – I try to look at myself modestly and quite critically – I believe I carry the baggage of that [PRL-u] – stated Andrzej Duda on the Rymanowski Live program.

"As he announced during the campaign, he will drive the government to work," – Paweł Szefernaker, Chief of Staff to the President, discusses PKN's legislative activity and announces, among other things, meetings with Pope Leo XIV, the President of Italy, and Prime Minister Meloni on his way back from Washington this week.
