- I have confidence in Minister Żurek, he knows judicial matters inside and out [...] he was a judge, he resigned from that status, and I truly see his great determination in these decisions to finally have courts start ruling at a faster pace, so that cases don't drag on for years - said Tomasz Siemoniak on the "Gość Radia Zet" program.

- But you will admit [...] that drawing lots is probably a better solution than appointment - said Bogdan Rymanowski.

- Drawing lots à la Minister Ziobro, non-transparent, where no one has to know how the draw is conducted... - Siemoniak said.

- So perhaps the algorithm left by Minister Ziobro needs to be changed? - Rymanowski inquired.

- Minister Żurek left it. As I read about one of these judges being drawn [...] I have confidence in Minister Żurek, and it is very rare in these three-judge panels that there is, I don't know, a 2:1 vote; meaning, the judges discuss and reach their verdict - Siemoniak replied.

- What is this issue about? It's about neo-judges, yes, that's what it's about - he continued.

- Or about excluding them, really? - the host asked.

- Yes, yes [...] if it turns out that these verdicts are then challenged, or can be challenged, it is an absolutely rational action, this system needs to be reformed - Siemoniak replied.

- The political Mutti and promoter of Tusk's career accuses Poland and the Baltic states of contributing to the war in Ukraine because they did not strive to warm relations with Russia... - wrote Jarosław Kaczyński on social media.

- Curious argumentation, mendaciously assigning responsibility for the war to those who warned against Putin's imperial ambitions. It is a pity that even after time has passed, the former chancellor cannot admit that the war in Ukraine is being waged, among other things, with German money that flowed to Moscow via the Nord Stream pipelines - emphasized the PiS chairman.

- Will Tusk decide to correct his political friend? - he asks at the end of the post.

Polityczna Mutti i promotorka kariery Tuska oskarża Polskę i kraje bałtyckie, że przyczyniły się do wojny na Ukrainie, bo nie dążyły do ocieplenia relacji z Rosją...
Kuriozalna argumentacja, kłamliwie przypisująca odpowiedzialność za wojnę tym, którzy przestrzegali przed…

"It takes two partners for such a decision to be made. These are friends to me, partners, I would be proud if I were on the same list with them" – said Tomasz Siemoniak on Radio Zet, responding to the question "Will we accept the PSL on our electoral list, the Civic Coalition's list, yes or no?".

- This matter, in my opinion, is first and foremost moving us in the wrong direction, not perfecting the system of random judicial assignments without presenting any justification. They claim it's about speeding up cases, but I don't know of any argument, they haven't substantiated it; it looks like some sort of footnote. It appears that they first changed the heads of the courts, and now they are giving the heads of the courts the right to assign judges to specific cases and are questioning the status of judges appointed, in my opinion, validly - said Krzysztof Bosak in "Express Biedrzyckiej" on Super Express.

- This is a question about the vision of how the presidency should be exercised. The president, according to the constitution, should be the guardian of the constitution. I believe that Minister Żurek, previously Minister Bodnar, and Prime Minister Tusk, their government is violating the constitution. I believe that in various cases they are acting unlawfully. - said Krzysztof Bosak on Super Express's "Biedrzycka's Express".

"Citizenship of the Republic of Poland is an honor. We plan changes regarding its granting. So that only those who guarantee security and work for Poland with their attitude receive it. In this regard, it is obvious that we will cooperate with the President." – wrote Marcin Kierwiński on X.

Earlier, on Saturday, Paweł Szefernaker posted a message on the same topic.

"It is the President of the Republic who stands guard over who can receive Polish citizenship and become part of our national community. This week, a presidential bill regarding the extension of uninterrupted legal stay in Poland from 3 to 10 years, after which one can apply for Polish citizenship, was submitted to the Sejm." – wrote the head of the presidential cabinet on X.

"We will do everything to prevent the government from following the path set out this week by Minister Kierwiński – the announcement of diluting the rules for acquiring Polish citizenship." – he emphasized.

Obywatelstwo Rzeczypospolitej jest zaszczytem. Planujemy zmiany w zakresie jego przyznawania. Tak, żeby otrzymywały je wyłącznie osoby gwarantujące swoją postawą bezpieczeństwo oraz pracę dla Polski. W tym zakresie jest oczywiste że będziemy współpracować z Prezydentem.

- In my opinion, there is too little planned action, and the plans we have are often simply not adapted to the changing times. For example, current defense spending plans do not include drones and anti-drone defense. At the same time, the government is already making various decisions in this area. So one could say, and a great debate is ongoing, so plans are one thing, spending is another. Furthermore, huge and very basic mistakes are made when spending money. For example, agreements are made to purchase equipment, but at the same time, no agreements are made for its servicing - said Krzysztof Bosak in "Express Biedrzyckiej" on Super Express.

- On various fronts, poorly negotiated or entirely unnegotiated agreements were concluded, so I believe that unfortunately, this is not an affliction of just one politician or another, it is an affliction of our business and strategic culture. The Ministry of National Defence also specialized in presenting announcements or some memoranda as contracts. We all as societies too easily, and the state as well as journalists, bear some responsibility for this, we are too easily manipulated. That is, for example, a letter of intent is signed, and it is presented as an announcement of gigantic armament programs - Bosak continued.

- This is what happened with armored transporters, where it was said that 1000 would be purchased. In fact, the Polish army needs more than 1000 transporters. Subsequently, the government ultimately ordered 100, and then there is complaining that the unit costs are high. Well, how can they be low if there is no economy of scale that the arms factory prepared for and for which calculations were previously made. Sometimes it can be felt that some of these decisions are made deliberately in a way that is harmful to the state, precisely in order to redirect contracts abroad - he noted.

- There are still 3 months until the elections. It is definitely too early to talk about such matters. What is most important for us now is primarily the approaching halfway point since the elections. We want to talk to voters, account for our actions before them, and that is crucial for us today, as well as the completion of the government reconstruction, because it is still ongoing - stated Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.

- We will strongly urge for the reconstruction to be completed, for personal matters to be changed in accordance with the coalition agreement and coalition understandings, and to combine this with the issues we want to address - she continued.

- I am calling on my successor to take immediate action, to stop talking. He is sitting in his prime minister's villa, right now he is sitting there and smoking a cigar, doing nothing, laughing up his sleeve at Polish farmers. We need respect, Mr. Tusk, for Polish farmers - stated Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference in Siennica.

- Where are you, Mr. Tusk? You should be with Polish farmers today. Germans, French, Austrians are subsidizing their exported goods. When there was a problem with Ukrainian grain being imported, Robert [Teluś] and I made a decision then, we blocked it against the entire EU - he continued.

- The Polish farmer must be respected. What is happening today in the Polish countryside is an outrage. Today we discussed problems in various sectors of Polish agriculture, but the entire internet is flooded with various images, videos, clearly showing that the production cost of vegetables such as peppers or cucumbers, but also tomatoes and potatoes, is such that the prices at collection points are too low to even cover basic costs. And I do not hesitate to say that this situation is excruciatingly painful today. We have a tragedy, tears on the Polish countryside, and the government must finally get to work - stated Mateusz Morawiecki at a conference in Siennica.

- I call for immediate action so that all these vegetables stop rotting, so that we do not face the phenomenon of self-harvesting. Today, farmers are calling for self-harvesting - come and pick, otherwise it will all rot - he continued.

- The founder of Putin's regime accuses Poland of being complicit in Russia's attack on Ukraine. Such a thoughtless, foolish, and harmful statement from Angela Merkel has never been heard before - wrote Mariusz Błaszczak on social media.

- Will Donald Tusk dare to condemn his political mentor? - asks the leader of the PiS parliamentary club.

Fundatorka reżimu Putina oskarża Polskę o to, że jest współwinna za atak Rosji na Ukrainę. Tak bezmyślnej, głupiej i szkodliwej wypowiedzi z ust Angeli Merkel jeszcze nie było.

Czy Donald Tusk odważy się potępić swoją promotorkę polityczną?

- It is difficult not to get the impression that the former German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is trying to shift responsibility for the mistakes of her own policies onto others today. Suggesting that Poland bears any shared responsibility for Russian aggression against Ukraine is not only unserious but also completely detached from the facts. It was Germany – under Merkel’s rule – that consistently pursued a pro-Putin, pro-Russian policy for years, which made all of Europe dependent on Russian gas and gave the Kremlin a powerful tool of pressure – wrote Piotr Müller on social media.

- Before Angela Merkel starts lecturing others, it would be worth her while to look in the mirror – and admit that it was Germany’s “business first” policy that was one of the key factors enabling Russia to prepare for war against Ukraine – emphasized the PiS MEP.

Trudno nie odnieść wrażenia, że była kanclerz Niemiec, Angela Merkel, próbuje dziś zrzucić odpowiedzialność za błędy własnej polityki na innych. Sugerowanie, że Polska w jakikolwiek sposób ponosi współodpowiedzialność za rosyjską agresję na Ukrainę, jest nie tylko niepoważne, ale… pic.twitter.com/cXTZ1QcVKZ

- Angela Merkel, with her thoughtless interview, has proven she is among the top German politicians most harmful to Europe in the last century - wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media.

- This particular matter [Szymon Hołownia's bid for the position of UN High Commissioner for Refugees] holds absolutely no greater significance for me or for Poland. It would have significance if Szymon Hołownia used his position as Marshal of the Sejm to do something good for Poland, just as he did something good at the time of the presidential elections when the outcome greatly displeased Donald Tusk, who wanted to annul them. [...] At that time, Szymon Hołownia truly rose to the occasion - said Jacek Sasin in the program "Bez uników" on PR3.

- And today, he is fleeing, instead of being consistent in what he does, and consistency would dictate that as Marshal of the Sejm, he should oppose all manifestations of law-breaking - he assessed.

- A scandalous statement. Madam, by twisting the words, not the best ones towards us then, of President Chirac, you missed an opportunity to remain silent. One of the most pro-Russian, pro-Putin politicians in the history of the EU, a politician who fattened Putin's coffers to such an extent that he was able to start a war – stated Adam Bielan on RMF FM.

- If it weren't for Angela Merkel's actions, if it weren't for the completion of Nord Stream 1 and the stubborn continuation, worthy of a better cause, of Nord Stream 2, there would be no war in Ukraine. If it weren't for Angela Merkel, there would be no war in Ukraine. Angela Merkel has blood on her hands and should remain silent – he continued.

- In the assessment of party leader Jarosław Kaczyński, fundamental principles have been broken [in Lower Silesian PiS], where there is a certain decision-making hierarchy and not everyone can make decisions as they please, according to their own judgment or whim - said Jacek Sasin in the program 'Bez uników' (No Evasions) on PR3.

- If someone joins the party and is in it, is in the club, they must also reckon with the fact that sometimes they have to – in fact, they should always – implement these decisions, naturally participating in their making beforehand. That was not present there, and the consequence is what it is - he stated.

- We cannot be a motley crew, because [...] on the other side, we have an organized Prussian army, which truly marches towards its goal, disregarding everything. And we are to oppose them as PiS, a motley crew where everyone is their own master. Wars and political clashes are not won like that - he indicated.

- We must be a strong, disciplined army – but this does not mean that internal discussion should not exist. Discussion, yes, but when a decision is made, we move forward, we don't contest it - he added.

- We have several [candidates for prime minister]. This is how we differ from Civic Platform (PO), which today cannot find a replacement for Tusk - said Jacek Sasin in an interview with Renata Grochal on the program “Bez uników” (No Evasion) on PR3.

When asked if he could imagine a future government with Mateusz Morawiecki as prime minister, he replied: - I can also imagine a government with other candidates for prime minister. I have spoken about this publicly, so I will not shy away from it. There is Tobiasz Bocheński, there is Mariusz Błaszczak, there is Przemysław Czarnek.

- A lot will depend on the situation we are in at the moment when we need to name that prime minister candidate, because each of these candidates is different - he emphasized.

- If today there were evidence of money laundering by Mr. Roman Giertych, I guarantee you, Madam Editor, that a motion to lift his immunity would be filed - Dariusz Korneluk stated on TOK FM.

- There is no evidence of a crime being committed, hence this decision to discontinue proceedings in this regard - he continued.

- I do not take Mr. Ziobro's statements seriously, neither in this case nor in a number of others; these are strictly political statements. Minister Ziobro recently gave extensive testimony to the commission, which is also the subject of detailed analysis by prosecutors - said Dariusz Korneluk in TOK FM, when asked about Zbigniew Ziobro's claim that evidence against Nowak in the Polish aspect was gathered using Pegasus.

- Investigative team No. 2 informed me that this testimony is very significant in the context of assessing the crimes committed within the Justice Fund in general, and specifically in the context of the [...] supervision of the Minister of Justice over the Justice Fund - he continued, when asked if he did not rule out pressing charges against Ziobro and sending a motion to lift his immunity.

- If there is evidence, there is no one today who can hide behind party credentials from a prosecutor filing a motion to lift immunity - he further stated, when asked if a motion to lift immunity could be filed.

- The prosecutor today, who is assessing the evidence, believe me [...] we are not interested in the political affiliation of the accused - said Dariusz Korneluk on TOK FM.

- It is not true, what appears in the public sphere, and stems from certain political circles, that Mr. Nowak, and the shown film of cash being seized within this proceeding. It is absolutely untrue that this money was seized in the so-called Polish thread. The Ukrainian thread concerning 13 crimes is still ongoing - he continued.

- I don’t know the minister [Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz] personally, although she appears as a tough negotiator in the media. I think she will be a tough nut to crack for the prime minister - stated Adam Bielan on RMF FM.

- We are, of course, ready [for early elections]. They [may occur]. I estimate the chances [of early elections] at 30%. I don't want to go too far into speculation. As you recall, when the PSL and SLD coalition broke up, which former Prime Minister Leszek Miller recently recalled - stated Adam Bielan on RMF FM.

- Formally, the pretext was vignettes, which Michał Pol, I believe, wanted to introduce; at the time, PSL disagreed, the coalition disintegrated, and Poland transitioned to minority rule, which ended in a decisive defeat, even annihilation of the left for many years. Now, coalition partners might clash over the budget - he continued.

- We have an offer; we've been talking about it since the beginning of this term, at the start of this term, and also after the presidential elections, which was a few months ago, and this offer is still current, but the PSL rejects it - stated Adam Bielan on RMF FM.

- Many false statements have appeared in the public sphere regarding this proceeding. First and foremost, the accused Nowak was charged with committing 17 crimes. The court concluded that the so-called Polish thread, meaning 4 of those 17 crimes, should be separated for separate proceedings, and it did so - said Dariusz Korneluk on TOK FM.

- The prosecutor [...] a very good prosecutor, a prosecutor with many years of experience, a prosecutor from the District Prosecutor's Office, not a delegate at all [...] made a decision that she was absolutely authorized to make, a decision evaluating the existing evidence. This decision, in the prosecutor's opinion, proved critical in the context of the future effective prosecution of Mr. Nowak - he continued.

- On Friday, if I'm not mistaken, the justification for this ruling, the court's decision to discontinue proceedings in this regard, was filed, and the District Prosecutor in Warsaw will decide whether to appeal it or not. This decision is not yet final - he went on to say.

- It clearly follows from this ruling: there is no evidence unequivocally proving guilt, proving the commission of crimes by the indicated individuals, because the discontinuation concerns 4 people, not just Mr. Nowak - he added.

- I would have preferred him to stay in Polish politics, from the perspective of my political camp's interests, that would probably have been the best. This is because he showed in a difficult moment, when there were – I will refer to a quote from the Marshal himself – pressures on him to carry out a coup d'état, meaning to avoid the inauguration oath of a democratically elected president - stated Adam Bielan on RMF FM.

- The Marshal used them, and it was the Marshal who was subjected to these pressures, as I understand it, from the current authorities, meaning probably Donald Tusk himself. A coup d'état is a serious crime. We will see what the prosecution does with it, but he did not yield then - he continued.

- The Marshal is a very likeable man. I'm talking about Marshal Hołownia. The invitation to me is always open. However, it seems he is currently in the USA - stated Adam Bielan on RMF FM.

- We'll see what happens in this grouping, with the Marshal himself. He is currently applying for a very important position at the UN. We are cheering him on, like any Pole who is seeking an important position in international institutions - he continued.

- I was very surprised to read the content of this article; I consider it journalistic speculation - Dariusz Korneluk said in an interview with Dominika Wielowieyska on "Poranek TOK FM," when asked about reports from Onet suggesting that Michał Kuczmierowski might be protected by British services because he helped them smuggle weapons to Ukraine.

- From a substantive point of view, from the perspective of actual prosecutorial work, we have no evidence, no materials that would indicate any strange, different behavior by other special services attempting to interfere with the ongoing extradition process. I am convinced that the British judiciary will make a decision in the near future - he continued.

- I don't know the content of this report. I think Mr. Trela's statement is revenge for the [Pegasus] commission losing this clash with Zbigniew Ziobro. Anyone who watched it must admit that. We'll see what the prosecution does with it, although I don't believe in its impartiality in this particular matter - stated Adam Bielan on RMF FM.

- Everyone has their own style. The minister is very consistent, very determined, she does what she does, and she also says certain things that are difficult for me to agree with. I'm thinking about programmatic issues, for example, the introduction of a cadastral register, a cadastral tax in Poland, or other ideas she proposes, which are not entirely my ideas - said Michał Kobosko in the 'Piasecki Interview' on TVN24.

- I didn't directly hear such a sentence stating there's a scenario of our party leaving the coalition, a scenario I would certainly be against. However, we are hearing and seeing, based on the minister's way of functioning, that she wants to play very tough, very hard with our coalition partners - Michał Kobosko stated in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Today, I am not yet declaring my candidacy. We have elections for the national board and the leader on January 17th, but the deadline to officially submit one's candidacy, gather signatures, is December 9th, if I'm not mistaken. Because we have a fully democratic process, you need to have a certain number of signatures from our party members. There is time for reflection; it's not as if I'm unemployed and desperately looking for a job in Poland or elsewhere - said Michał Kobosko in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Before 2027 and the elections, today we need to ensure the cohesion of our club, so that there are 30 [members] in a few weeks, in a few months 30 people, and we need to present them. This will already be the task of the future chairman of our party, assuming, and I have to make a little asterisk here, that Szymon Hołownia doesn't change his mind and decide not to run in January - said Michał Kobosko in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- As I said, I'm rooting for him, but you know how it is. I don't know if it's variant B or variant A, meaning that he will be the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, which is still a very important place and function. Time heals all wounds, and perhaps by January Szymon Hołownia will decide that he doesn't want to, but he has to run for the position of chairman. I quietly hope that he might do so. This is Szymon Hołownia's party, not just with his name in its activities - Michał Kobosko continued.

- I felt that this is not the moment, and certainly not the moment from the perspective of the organization that we co-created and continue to co-create, to abandon ship, because even if this ship is currently in very shallow waters, it has not yet run aground, and Poland 2050 has not yet perished - said Michał Kobosko in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

At 11:00 AM in Siennica, a press conference will take place with the participation of PiS Vice-Chairman Mateusz Morawiecki and MPs Anna Gembicka and Robert Telus.

At 12:00 PM, the Pegasus inquiry commission will hear Ireneusz Szulewicz.

At 2:30 PM in the Sejm, a press conference will be held by PiS MPs Michał Moskal and Paweł Hreniak.
