Kaleta Comments on Żurek's Regulation:
This is Pathology, Not the Restoration of the Rule of Law, It's the Restoration of Communism.
- A technical change? Manually determining judge panels by nominees of Mr. Żurek, previously Bodnar, colleagues, or other individuals who simply owed their court positions to Mr. Żurek, whereas previously it was random selection. Transparent random selection, a computer system would draw judges precisely to prevent the pathology of judges on the phone, like Judge Milewski, who was recorded during a phone conversation with a provocateur saying he was ready to manipulate judicial panels to please Donald Tusk. And now, Waldemar Żurek illegally, unlawfully, wants to implement the principle of Judge Milewski, the judge on the phone, which was exposed by the media several years ago, as a rule in Polish courts. This is pathology, it is not the restoration of the rule of law in any way; it is the restoration of communism, because during communism, this is precisely how it was ensured that court rulings were acceptable to the authorities, that certain judges would rule. This is what Waldemar Żurek wants – said Sebastian Kaleta in “Political Graffiti” on Polsat News.
08:12
Kaleta on Ziobro’s Interrogation:
A Clash of a Professional, a Statesman, vs. Comedians.
- Showcase your various pseudo-intellectual creations more, because all of Poland saw last week a clash of a professional, a statesman, versus, well, comedians - said Sebastian Kaleta on Polsat News' “Graffiti”.
- Because Mr. Trela was boasting for a year that he here, Ziobro will come and he will show him, flexing his muscles, and he sat as quietly as a mouse at that commission, so this flexing of muscles today, after last week's clash, looks comical, but I would like to emphasize that this pseudo-commission is already, the very subject matter the commission is dealing with is senseless, because we know that consent for operational control in specific cases was issued by courts, not Minister Ziobro - he continued.
08:13
- I think so [Poland should extradite to Germany a Ukrainian suspected of the Nord Stream bombing] - stated Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.
- In these kinds of situations, where we are dealing with a crime, which undoubtedly occurred, and with a request from the German side, I believe that procedures should be followed. Nothing more - the PiS politician continued.
08:18
Czarnek:
It would be a scandal if German services searched anyone's apartment on Polish territory
- It would indeed be a scandal if German services searched anyone's apartment on Polish territory. But I have not received this information from Polish services; I am hearing it from you for the first time, and I don't know where the information on this matter comes from. If that were the case, it would indeed be a scandal and a great failing on the part of our services, our state, in turn - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Zet.
08:30
- A grave mistake by Ms. Nowacka, a ideologized ministry. "Education for family life" included sex education, just like other subjects, and it could have continued to be taught. It was taught at a much higher level - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Zet.
- In many schools, not even half of the students who enrolled in "Education for family life", which also wasn't mandatory, enrolled in health education. Why were these ideological tricks, games, and the insertion of gender ideology into the curriculum necessary? I don't know, but I think Ms. Nowacka already regrets it, because it is certainly not beneficial for the school - emphasized the former head of the Ministry of National Education.
- [If we regain power in 2 years], we will immediately return to "Education for family life", which was excellently developed under our rule - he continued.
08:33
Czarnek:
Mainstream, Left-Wing, and "Lewackie" Media's Dominance in Poland Remains Significant
- Do you know why the polls are like that? Because of how we are portrayed in various media. The dominance of mainstream, left-wing, and "lewickie" [a derogatory term for leftists] media in Poland is still great, hence these 39% for Ms. Nowacka, who is devastating Polish education - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Zet.
08:35
- Angela Merkel blamed Poland and the Baltic states for not wanting an agreement with Putin. She didn't directly say we were guilty of starting the war, but the context is obvious – Paweł Jabłoński stated in an interview with Jan Wróbel on "Poranny Ring."
- This refers to the situation in June '21, when Mateusz Morawiecki and the leaders of the Baltic states blocked German plans for a EU-Russia summit. If that had happened, it would have been a repeat of Munich 1938, and indeed Merkel still cannot come to terms with the fact that she failed – he continued.
08:40
Czarnek:
In PiS, Nobody is Pushed Out
- In PiS, nobody is pushed out. These are local government issues, in Lower Silesia, I'm not delving into it, I won't deal with it. If it were in the Lublin Voivodeship, I would answer this question, because I am the head of structures in half of the Lublin Voivodeship - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Zet.
- In PiS, nobody is pushed out, but PiS is a very broad formation, it is open to the left and to the right, and to the center and to forces further to the right of our formation. And within this formation, which is PiS, both Tobiasz Bocheński and Jacek Sasin and Mateusz Morawiecki are needed. I think Przemysław Czarnek will also be useful - he continued.
08:42
Jabłoński on Pegasus and Authorizations for Operational Control:
A Plea for Judges to Read Files More Carefully.
- With Pegasus, there's one important thing: judges decide, there's judicial control, which is probably imperfect because it turns out that judges simply too often, as Judge Tuleya said, that he received something he didn't know about - Paweł Jabłoński stated in "Poranny Ring" (Morning Ring).
- Perhaps this is also a plea for judges to read the files more carefully, so that when they receive a blank request without evidence, they refuse it. Or they demand supplementation. Because a judge has such powers in the current procedure, unfortunately, many have not utilized them - he continued, after the host pointed out that people from security services say that when a request is submitted, they are certain the judge will sign it.
08:52
Czarnek on a Senate pact with Confederation:
It is possible.
- It is possible [Confederation and PiS should form a common Senate pact] - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Zet.
08:56
Czarnek:
Żurek, like his predecessor Bodnar, caused unbelievable demolition in the justice system
- Minister Żurek, like his predecessor Bodnar, let’s not forget this gentleman, have caused an unbelievable demolition in the justice system over the past nearly 2 years, starting with the appointment, including Tusk, of an usurper to the position of National Prosecutor - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Zet.
09:01
Czarnek on higher CIT for banks:
In this one case, it will need to be considered.
- In this one case, it will definitely need to be considered. We are talking about banks, and how any potential increase in CIT for banks will, in turn, lead to banks passing on their costs to customers. This needs to be contemplated - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Zet.
09:12
- No, quite the opposite. He is urging judges to uphold the law - said Marcin Przydacz on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" [The Heart of the Matter], when asked by Jacek Prusinowski whether President Karol Nawrocki was inciting judges to rebellion.
- The hierarchy of law in Poland is clear; the constitution defines it. First, the constitution, second, statutes, and only then, regulations. If Minister Żurek wishes to alter the statutory reality, or something even higher in the hierarchy, through regulations, he does not have the right to do so - he stated.
- Judges are subject to the constitution and statutes. And the President is calling on them, in the spirit of their impartiality and independence, to abide by the law, and not to yield to pressure, including the political pressure currently being exerted by the authorities associated with Donald Tusk, and in reality, by Minister Żurek himself - he continued.
09:22
Przydacz:
It's not the President inciting rebellion. It's Żurek and his circle who rebelled against the law
- It is not the president who is inciting rebellion. It is Minister Żurek and his circle, even earlier, who rebelled against Polish law. It is Minister Żurek who does not want to abide by the law, his political acolytes, who have not accepted that from 2015 to 2023, a different government ruled in Poland - appointed by the nation - which had the right to change laws, to change the legal reality in Poland – said Marcin Przydacz in the program "Sedno Sprawy" on Radio Plus.
- Minister Żurek's role was to adapt to the law, not to rebel against the authorities. He is the rebel – he pointed out.
09:37
- The President announced a long time ago that he was giving himself until next year to try and work out a resolution to this difficult situation from the perspective of the functioning justice system. Of course, it would be best if the rebels started respecting the law, quite simply, and not their own whims - said Marcin Przydacz on Radio Plus's "Sedno Sprawy" [The Heart of the Matter], when asked about the referendum on the judiciary announced by Karol Nawrocki.
- However, if this is not possible, other instruments will have to be adopted. I don't want to go into details here. For now, the time is still ongoing during which these matters can be resolved - he continued.
09:42
Przydacz:
Efforts Underway to Persuade Judges and Politicians Who Refuse to Obey the Law to Do So
- Efforts are underway – our lawyers are working on this – to finally persuade judges who don't want to obey the law, politicians who don't want to obey the law, to start obeying the law – said Marcin Przydacz in the program "Sedno Sprawy" on Radio Plus.
09:46
Hołownia Suggests Parliamentary Work on the Partnership Law:
We Are Waiting for Political Decisions.
- We are also assuming that there will be an opportunity to work on the law, which is preliminarily planned, but there are still some political consultations ongoing regarding partnership laws. However, I know that discussions are still underway regarding the formula in which this law can be submitted, and so it depends on the initiators. I am open, we have preliminarily scheduled it in the Sejm's schedule, so we are waiting for political decisions - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.
10:03
Hołownia Comments on Rumors of MPs Moving to PSL:
Not a Single Person is Considering Leaving Poland 2050.
- Today I heard, someone told me somewhere that 6 MPs are allegedly talking to PSL. There was such news this morning, it made a splash. So I want to tell you that I also spoke with PSL last week twice. Once with Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, once with Piotr Zgorzelski, and we have such a plan, because there will also be deputy ministers there, I can also say that Mikołaj Dorożała will go to PSL - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.
- I think our colleagues from the agrarian party will be very happy, but speaking seriously, I haven't heard a bigger foolishness in my life. If someone today wants to tell me that some MPs are looking for different affiliations, let them give me the names of these MPs. There are no such MPs - the Marshal of the Sejm continued.
- Of course, many conversations are taking place externally, people are asking, MPs are also asking, but there is not a single person who is considering leaving Poland 2050. On the contrary, everyone who is in Poland 2050 is directing their energy inwards today - he emphasized.
10:10
Hołownia on the Scenario Where Even One Poland 2050 MP Joins Another Governing Party:
The Coalition is Over.
- We cannot be broken, because first of all, we are a cohesive group, and secondly, if someone from that side started poaching our MPs, it would be obvious that it’s the end of the coalition. We agreed with the leaders a very long time ago and discussed it many times that we do not poach each other’s MPs – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.
- Because that would mean a complete lack of trust, a complete collapse of what unites us in the coalition, and if someone succumbs to such a temptation, even one person, for us, it is an absolute red line, its crossing. Someone might say – Poland 2050 will not have MPs then. Well, we will not have a government then, that is not the path we should be taking today – the Marshal of the Sejm continued.
10:19
Hołownia on his resignation as Sejm Marshal:
If these conditions are met…
- If these conditions are met, we have agreed that I will submit my resignation on November 13th, effective November 19th, because November 19th is the day the Sejm is in session. There is no Sejm session in the week where November 13th is indicated - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press conference in the Sejm.
- We have agreed with Marshal Czarzasty that we will not convene an additional session solely for the appointment of a new marshal, and that the election of a new marshal after my resignation will take place on November 19th, on the first day of the scheduled session. Then, if the MPs so wish, I will put forward my candidacy as a potential deputy marshal, but I approach this with great humility - he continued.
10:43
Kaczyński on Żurek:
He Should Be Locked Up in State Prisons for Years to Come.
- [Waldemar Żurek] is a man who should be, and for many years to come, in state prisons, and I believe he will be. Because he breaks the law in a way so brazen, as it has not been broken before - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
11:01
- Minister Kulasek, I have a question: why do you intend to dismantle our country's core research infrastructure? In recent hours, a dramatic appeal from scientists in Toruń has been circulating throughout Poland, as they are raising the alarm that the Radio Telescope, a key radio telescope for astrophysical research near Toruń, is threatened with closure – stated Adrian Zandberg in the Sejm.
- These are paltry savings; the funds needed are less than what we spend on the annual upkeep of Mr. Kropiwnicki, a Member of Parliament sitting on numerous committees, compared to what is needed to maintain this radio telescope. This issue, which has stirred the emotions of the scientific community, is merely a drop in the ocean of problems – continued the leader of Razem.
- The overwhelming majority of applications for maintaining research infrastructure have not been positively recommended for co-financing. These are necessary applications, this is necessary infrastructure, and the money simply isn't there. These are modest funds, which for reasons I don't understand, you are unwilling to allocate for these purposes. This is the dismantling of Polish science – he added.
11:24
- The Polish countryside is in crisis. Hundreds of tons of peppers, tomatoes, and other vegetables are rotting in the fields because processing plants are refusing to accept them, importing goods from abroad, making production completely unprofitable for our farmers - says the narrator in a video spot published by Mateusz Morawiecki.
As we hear in the former Prime Minister's recording: - Wheat prices have fallen to their lowest level in two decades. The costs of fertilizers, fuel, and energy are constantly rising, forcing producers to fight for survival without any profit. The pig herd has hit rock bottom, the smallest since the 1950s. This is the result of high feed costs, burdensome sanitary requirements, and a flood of imported meat.
- Where is the government's action? Where is the intervention purchase? Where are the subsidies for farmers in crisis? Where is the protection for local producers? Where is the program to rebuild the pig herd? Instead of protecting our farmers, Tusk's team is thoughtlessly opening the doors to cheap imports from Mercosur countries, condemning thousands of farms to bankruptcy. It's time to stop this - the narrator concludes.
Import z Mercosur = bankructwo polskich rolników!
— Mateusz Morawiecki (@MorawieckiM) October 7, 2025
Zamiast pomagać naszym rolnikom, rząd Tuska sprowadza tanie towary z zagranicy. Efekt? Kryzys, ubóstwo, upadek polskiej wsi.

in Campaign Spot:
Tusk's Colleagues' Cases Swept Under the Rug." PiS Claims "Court Takeover
- They are taking us back to the era of judges on the phone. They have changed the way judging panels are selected. Now, who will judge will be decided not by a draw, but by their people. The effect? The cases of Tusk's colleagues, such as Sławomir Nowak, Tomasz Grodzki, or Roman Giertych, have been swept under the rug. This is not a reform of the courts, it is their takeover. Poles deserve independent, fair courts, not the political dictates of Tusk and Żurek - says the narrator in a campaign spot published on PiS's social media channels.

Czarzasty responds to Hołownia's conditions:
I won't explain Hołownia's words because I get lost. We know the coalition agreement.
- Firstly, I feel awkward, and secondly, I don't want to do it. I won't explain Szymon Hołownia's words because I get lost. Therefore, I don't want to add any extra elements to all these matters. We know the coalition agreement, we know the deadlines. If Mr. Hołownia wants to bring anything up on this matter, he should convene the coalition, and we should discuss it. - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty during a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
12:57
Czarzasty:
There are matters more important than when, or if, the Marshal will be replaced
- I think we are focusing too much on this issue. I guarantee you that Polish women and men are not really living and breathing this topic, and there are matters more important than whether the Marshal will be replaced in October, November, or December, or whether it will happen at all. I'm telling you this as someone who should be interested, but we really need to show a relaxed and sensible approach to this matter - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty during a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
13:04
Czarzasty on Partnership Unions:
My Personal Ambition Is to See This Processed in the Sejm This Year.
- My personal ambition is, and Władysław [Kosiniak-Kamysz's] too, that we see this processed in the Sejm this year. I will do everything to make it so and I will do everything to ensure there is a parliamentary majority for this solution - Włodzimierz Czarzasty said during a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
13:11
- We are wondering what Donald Tusk was guided by when he entrusted the function of minister of development and technology to the minister of finance, a disastrous minister of finance, because Andrzej Domański will go down in history as the minister of finance who, together with Donald Tusk's government, led to the highest state budget deficits in history - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.
- The phantom minister, as it turns out, does not control the Ministry of Development and Technology, why? Because, let's look, for example, at energy bills. They are high, they are too high, and yet the minister of development and technology [...] has in his portfolio actions that should lead to a reduction in energy bills - he continued.
- Minister Domański [...] is one big failure, he is a person who is responsible for the crisis in public finances - he went on to say.
- We will draw consequences regarding Minister Domański; next Thursday there will be a budget debate on the draft state budget for the coming year. In this debate, we will present our position, we will point to the incompetence of the minister of finance - he added.
14:13
- Today's votes on lifting the immunity of Daniel Obajtek and Michał Dworczyk show how much politics can overshadow common sense and elementary decency - wrote Piotr Müller on social media.
- Such people should be protected and appreciated, not put in the pillory of political games. At the same time, the EP does not lift the immunity of an Italian communist who has been accused of assault - emphasized the PiS MEP.
Dzisiejsze głosowania w sprawie uchylenia immunitetu @DanielObajtek i @michaldworczyk pokazują, jak bardzo polityka potrafi przesłonić zdrowy rozsądek i elementarną uczciwość.

- The coalition agreement contains a provision that we will depoliticize State Treasury companies. Two of our bills are in the Sejm; one is deliberately suspended in limbo by our coalition partners. The other has been in another subcommittee for months. Therefore, the question is justified – does it mean anything, or is it just ordinary paper? I suggest to my colleagues in the Coalition that they first start adhering to this agreement themselves to give it some seriousness. Unless, of course, the agreement only applies to us? – wrote Rafał Komarewicz, an MP for Poland 2050, on the X portal.
W umowie koalicyjnej jest za to zapis, że odpartyjnimy spółki Skarbu Państwa. Dwa nasze projekty są w Sejmie, jeden celowo zawieszony w próżni przez naszych koalicjantów. Drugi od miesięcy w kolejnej podkomisji. Zasadne zatem jest pytanie - czy ona coś znaczy, czy to tylko zwykły… https://t.co/DstTyKWavz

Tusk Meets with the Lithuanian Prime Minister:
I Received an Invitation to a Match.
- Polish-Lithuanian friendship requires no justification. It is a shared history, shared geopolitical interests, and very good bilateral cooperation. A very symbolic proof of this is the invitation I received from the Prime Minister. It's an invitation to the Lithuania-Poland match on Sunday - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.
15:45
Tusk on the Frontline Situation and US Engagement:
I Share the Moderate Optimism.
- I share this moderate optimism of the Prime Minister [of Lithuania] and the moderate optimism of President Zelensky, that matters both on the frontline and concerning US engagement are perhaps moving in a slightly better direction than might have seemed a few weeks ago - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.
15:46
Tusk:
Anyone Claiming Ukraine Must Lose This War is Either Malicious or Ignorant
- With absolute certainty, and we share this identical opinion, anyone who claims that Ukraine must lose this war is either malicious or does not know what they are talking about. Ukraine does not have to lose this war; Ukraine, with our support and its heroism, is certainly not in a losing position - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.
15:50
Tusk on Nord Stream 2:
The only people who should be ashamed and silent are those who decided on its construction.
- A Ukrainian citizen has been detained. This is not a new situation. I cannot speak about the details for obvious reasons, but I want you to know that regarding the issue of the Ukrainian citizen accused by the German prosecutor's office of involvement in the Nord Stream 2 explosion, I presented Poland's very clear stance on this matter many, many months ago to the former Chancellor, as well as to President Zelensky - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.
- From our perspective, the only people who should be ashamed and should remain silent on the issue of Nord Stream 2 are those who decided on the construction of Nord Stream 2 - he continued.
15:51
Tusk:
Toruń Radio Telescope to Receive Funding by Year-End
- I will not delve into the specifics of these procedures, but I expected information from the Minister of Science and Higher Education, and I have received it: the radio telescope in Toruń will receive funding by the end of the year - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.
15:53
Tusk:
Europe's Problem Isn't That Nord Stream 2 Was Blown Up, But That It Was Built
- Europe's problem, the problem for Ukraine, Lithuania, and Poland, is not that Nord Stream 2 was blown up, but that it was built. Russia, with the money of some European states or German and Dutch companies, built Nord Stream 2 against the most vital interests of not only our states, but all of Europe, and there can be no ambiguity about that - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.
15:55
Tusk:
We Strongly Opposed Nord Stream 2 Construction. Poland Was Very United
- Anyone in Poland who suggests that there were any governments or any serious politicians in Poland who were in favour of building Nord Stream 2 is lying and is doing significant damage to Poland's reputation. From the very beginning, and regardless of who was governing Poland, including myself when I was President of the European Council, we explained from the outset, we strongly opposed the construction of Nord Stream 2. Poland was very united in its opinion and very consistent on this matter - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.
17:27
Vice-Chair of the Poland 2050 Club:
I Will Not Support Czarzasty for Marshal.
- It will be difficult for me to support this candidacy, if you are asking me. Because I believe he will not be a good Marshal. This is my private opinion, it is not the club's opinion, but my private one, and I will not support Mr. Włodzimierz Czarzasty. I will not support [him in the vote] - stated Agnieszka Buczyńska on Polsat News Polityka.
19:43
Cenckiewicz on Volodymyr Z:
Poland Should Not Lend a Hand to an Operation to Extradite a Man Who Harmed Russia.
"Privately, I would say no. Officially, I would say this: Poland should not lend a hand to any operation to extradite a man who has harmed Russia," said Sławomir Cenckiewicz on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń," when asked by Bogdan Rymanowski whether Poland should extradite a Ukrainian national, Volodymyr Z., to Germany, who is suspected of blowing up the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
"We need to find a formula where we are within the law, and at the same time, we do not hand over to the Germans – or potentially Russians – someone who has harmed the Russian war machine," he pointed out.
20:05
Cenckiewicz on Ukrainian Suspected of Nord Stream Sabotage:
This Man Should Not Have Been Detained at All.
- In my opinion, this man [Volodymyr Z.] should not have been detained at all. The Polish state should refuse cooperation in this matter – if it is as it is presented. That is, either he participated in the operation to disable or damage Nord Stream 2, or even – as some are writing – that this is a violation of some secret agreement, in which people who genuinely harmed Russia, as a result of some agreement with the Polish state, simply found their second life in Poland. I don’t know that – said Sławomir Cenckiewicz in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.
20:14
Kierwiński on the Lack of Support for Czarzasty in the Vote for Marshal:
I Cannot Imagine That.
- I cannot imagine that, to be perfectly blunt, for one reason. There is a document, it's called a coalition agreement, signed by all the leaders of the parties forming the coalition, and it clearly states that in the first part of this term, the Marshal is Mr. Marshal Hołownia, and all the MPs of the ruling coalition fulfilled this, they voted for Mr. Marshal, and now it is natural that the second part of the agreement will also be fulfilled - said Marcin Kierwiński in "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.
20:19
Szłapka on Żurek's Regulation:
I Have Great Trust in the Minister. It's Simply Restoring the Rule of Law.
- I have great trust in Minister Żurek, I think there are very many lawyers, and indeed I have heard statements from very many lawyers who believe that this is simply, firstly, speeding up these protracted court proceedings, because the solution proposed by the fortunately former Minister Ziobro, who is responsible for destroying the rule of law in Poland, was simply dysfunctional - Adam Szłapka said on TVP Info's "Question of the Day," when asked about Waldemar Żurek's regulation on assigning cases to judges.
- Secondly, it is simply restoring the rule of law, Minister Żurek is very determined here, I believe him. I am convinced that he is heading in the right direction - he continued.
20:21
- We are in the preliminary stage of work related to the implementation of certain understandings that we reached at the White House [during President Nawrocki's visit]. I hope that important meetings will take place this year, perhaps even my personal meeting at the Pentagon - said Sławomir Cenckiewicz on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
When asked if it concerned a meeting with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, he replied: - That will depend on him. He heads the Department of War of a world superpower, and I am a humble associate of President Karol Nawrocki.
20:22
Kierwiński on the MP Who Would Contribute to the Coalition’s Collapse:
He Would Walk Hand in Hand with PiS. Such a Person is Finished in Polish Politics.
- We were elected in 2023 with a gigantic mandate of responsibility towards the voters. Those voters said “no” to PiS. Today, if any MP on this side of the political scene were to contribute to the collapse of this coalition, they would effectively be walking hand in hand with PiS. Such a person is finished in Polish politics - said Marcin Kierwiński in “Kropka nad i” on TVN24.
20:28
Kierwiński on the Lifting of Dworczyk and Obajtek's Immunity:
The European Parliament Has Shown It Is Not a Safe Haven for Compromised Politicians.
- I am very happy. Primarily because the European Parliament has shown that it is not a safe haven for compromised politicians, but I am very happy about Mr. Obajtek, about the removal of his immunity from that photo, because I hope this matter will proceed quickly and that such practices will never be repeated - said Marcin Kierwiński on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".
I was among those MPs about whom information was gathered, Robert Kropiwnicki, but information was also gathered, I saw one of these reports, information was gathered about my wife, so this is some extreme pathology altogether. If public funds were used for this, then I hope this matter will be resolved quickly - he further stated.
20:28
Szłapka:
Poland 2050 Can Only Harm Itself
- There is very high political tension within Poland 2050 concerning the news of Szymon Hołownia's departure. I am not surprised by this tension, of course - Adam Szłapka stated on TVP Info.
- I am simply keeping my fingers crossed and hope that this natural tension, which is now occurring, will not be harmful to Poland in any way, because it is important for Poland that the coalition remains stable and, most importantly, that we simply implement the common project we agreed upon - he continued.
- Poland 2050 can only harm itself. In the sense that if they behave seriously and resolve their internal leadership crisis smoothly and stably, then nothing bad will happen to either Poland 2050 or the coalition - he went on to say, when asked about Szymon Hołownia's statement about the "end of the coalition" if coalition parties were to "poach MPs" from Poland 2050, and whether this was a threat, a way of saying "don't hurt us too much, don't tear my party apart, because you will need us".
- If there is an attempt, of course, to exploit this internal situation to harm the entire situation, then that will be a problem and it will be very irresponsible. We see how our voters react to attempts to harm the project that is the October 15th coalition, and I think that the MPs of Poland 2050 have felt this most keenly. Because they see the polls - he added.

We are ready to improve Polish law

Abortion is a form of infanticide

Bosak:
The weaker the coalition partners, the stronger Prime Minister Tusk
- Many people ask me if there might be early elections, or if something might change for the better. And my answer is, unfortunately, probably not, and what is happening in Polska 2050 also fits into this, because the weaker the coalition partners, the stronger Prime Minister Tusk - stated Krzysztof Bosak on TVP Info.

Cenckiewicz on access to classified information:
There will be very interesting plot twists, but to my advantage.
- Of course, I do [have access to classified information]. […] I'm not particularly looking for these classified materials to simply show that everything is in order. I am calmly awaiting the judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court, and I assure you and our viewers that there will be very interesting plot twists here, but to my advantage - said Sławomir Cenckiewicz on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).
Asked if he was confident of a positive verdict, he replied: - Of course. I have read the 40-page justification, which is devastating for Donald Tusk's team, and which restores my 8 security clearances.

- I find such a scenario hard to imagine [...] I deal with the work of the government on a daily basis, the government is functioning, I cooperate daily with ministers from all parties or the coalition within the framework of the October 15th coalition, it simply works. I see how Sejm votes look, the majority is stable - said Adam Szłapka in TVP Info, when asked about the government's collapse in connection with the budget bill and spring elections.

- This is an obvious situation. He does not have access to secret and classified information, he cannot receive such information, he cannot read such information. If someone provides him with such information, they are breaking the law - said Marcin Kierwiński on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

Szłapka on Hołownia's Condition:
This Isn't in the Coalition Agreement.
"But this isn't in the agreement... I mean, the leaders of all the parties forming the October 15th coalition agreed to cooperate by signing a coalition agreement, and that is our constitution," said Adam Szłapka on TVP Info, when asked about the condition set by Szymon Hołownia ("equipping" Polska 2050 with the position of Deputy Prime Minister) regarding the change of the Sejm Marshal.
"If anything is to be changed there, all partners must agree. This condition is not in the coalition agreement; the coalition agreement stipulates that Szymon Hołownia will be the Sejm Marshal for the first half of the term, and Włodzimierz Czarzasty will be the Sejm Marshal for the second half of the term," he continued.
"It's hard for me to imagine that a word that was given and signed with one's own signature would be broken by any of the coalition partners. And what is to be fulfilled is what is in the coalition agreement; what is not there, we do not add," he went on to say.
"The leaders agreed to certain conditions in the coalition agreement, and that's it. There are no other conditions there that Marshal Hołownia is talking about. These matters are decided further by the Prime Minister, the person appointed for this purpose, when it comes to selecting ministers and his closest collaborators," he added.

Bosak on Iustitia:
A pity they lacked the energy to defend the rule of law now.
- This is an organization [Iustitia] representing those radicals on the one hand. Well, it’s a pity they lacked the energy to defend the rule of law now, as Minister Żurek is now, or previously Minister Bodnar, are doing various things without a legal basis - stated Krzysztof Bosak on TVP Info.
21:51
- I think we have found an agreement, and this is important information that the formations forming the coalition, particularly us and The Left, have met on a bill that will facilitate the functioning, life, and various daily matters for many people in Poland - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
- We have reached an agreement. I would like to thank Urszula Pasławska from our side, and Katarzyna Kotula from The Left, for weeks of work so that the projects we are analyzing can be as aligned as possible - the Deputy Prime Minister continued.
As the leader of the Polish People's Party announced: - We will provide more information next week, as we agreed with the Marshal and the entire team, in a joint statement, a joint conference. But everything is on a very good path.
Deputy Marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty, present at the briefing, added: - There are two draft laws: The Left's draft, and the PSL's draft. Thanks to the two ladies, an equal agreement has been reached. […] We have thought about how to do it. Today we have reached an agreement, next week in this group we will stand at a press conference and inform you very precisely about everything. But an agreement on this matter has been reached.
