- In this matter [the position of Deputy Prime Minister for Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz], the decisive voice belongs to Prime Minister Donald Tusk. […] I think the matter is clear here – that is, Prime Minister Donald Tusk will make the decision after consultations with the coalition partners – said Cezary Tomczyk in the 'Piasecki's Conversation' on TVN24.

- This is the most important thing we must take care of – this government must have parliamentary backing. This is the basis and foundation of governing today. […] The stability of the government is fundamental for us today – he added.

- I think the most important principle that guides me, and should guide everyone in politics, is the principle that deals must be kept. This deal was made, signed, everyone agreed to it, and this deal must be honored - said Cezary Tomczyk in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24, when asked about voices coming from Poland 2050 politicians suggesting a lack of support for Włodzimierz Czarzasty for Marshal of the Sejm.

- Of course, [Adrian Zandberg hates people]. What interests him, who drinks beer with whom? One MP wants to have a beer with another MP, and Adrian Zandberg comes and says: I don't allow it, you can't drink beer together. It's ridiculous - stated Sławomir Mentzen in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.

- Szymon Hołownia's stance is completely incomprehensible to me. He signed this coalition agreement, which clearly stated that he would be Marshal for the first 2 years and there would be no Deputy Prime Minister. That's what the agreement was, and now he claims he doesn't like it. He could not have signed it then - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Radio Zet.

- He's behaving like that nasal monkey from the memes, you know, they came, they signed, dear editor, and now they have to pay. Well yes, he signed this coalition agreement, and now he claims he doesn't like it - he continued.

- I see two explanations. The first is that he didn't understand what he was signing, and the second is that he was so convinced when he signed it that he would be president that he didn't care at all what Poland 2050 would look like in this coalition after the presidential elections - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Radio Zet.

- I believe that, as I have already written, the only reason to detain this man is to potentially invite him for dinner and let him go on his way - said Janusz Cieszyński on TVP Info's "Gość Poranka" (Guest of the Morning).

- German services in Poland searching the apartments of people living in Poland. Have they already forgotten how the German police entered Poland and planted migrants here? Weren't they Germans then too? Unfortunately, under Donald Tusk's government, German uniformed officers feel at home in Poland and behave in a way that is decidedly not how they should when they come to Poland. They should be at attention and salute Polish officers, and that's all we expect from any German services in Poland - said Janusz Cieszyński on "Gość Poranka" on TVP Info.

- The key point is that at a time when people come to power abroad who have interests so radically different from Poland's, should we not hold any talks with them at all? I don't think that's a good direction. I think that Professor Andrzej Nowak, someone who knows Polish history better than practically anyone else, is one of the few people capable of going there and telling them. He is a person who will go there and calmly, politely, but also unconditionally, based on facts, state how reality looks and will not allow for any falsification of history - said Janusz Cieszyński on TVP Info's "Gość Poranka" (Guest of the Morning).

- This is a normal judicial procedure that is independent of the government - said Cezary Tomczyk on TVN24’s „Rozmowa Piaseckiego” when asked about the rationale behind the detention of Volodymyr Z., suspected of bombing Nord Stream 2.

- Szymon Hołownia, whose position has weakened since 2023, is saying he deserves more than he negotiated in 2023, when he was strong. I'm not sure, but I bet Tusk won't give it to him. Firstly, because he would show weakness, that he can be blackmailed by a group of a dozen or so MPs, because it's not even the entire Poland 2050, but half of it - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Radio Zet.

- The club is divided almost exactly in half. There's still the free electron Ryszard Petru, so half of that club could be blackmailed, more or less - Sławomir Mentzen stated on Radio Zet.

- And the second thing, even if the other half were to leave, meaning around a dozen MPs from Poland 2050 would remain, that coalition would have roughly as many MPs in the Sejm as PiS had in its second term. And for Tusk, this wouldn't be so bad, because he's genuinely looking for any excuse to explain to people why he's doing nothing. This would be a very good excuse - because we don't have a majority in the Sejm - he continued.

- I don't usually use this argument, but I think it's important: why should we care about Germany in this matter – or any other matter? Poland's interest in this case is clear, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed it yesterday – said Cezary Tomczyk in „Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24, when asked about the potential extradition of Volodymyr Z. to Germany, a Ukrainian suspected of sabotaging Nord Stream 2.

- The issue of Nord Stream is a fundamental, existential threat to Poland. It has been so from the very beginning. [...] The entire political class spoke with one voice on the Nord Stream issue – he continued.

- I think all of Poland knows that he didn't do it, and I don't know what country Radosław Sikorski is the Foreign Minister of, but he didn't behave like a Polish Foreign Minister here - said Janusz Cieszyński on "Gość Poranka" on TVP Info.

- This is launching right now, these are the days when the ministry is showcasing its training project. It has indeed taken a while, there were two reasons for this - said Maciej Berek in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM, when asked about military training.

- Firstly, the refinement of this concept, because these are meant to be trainings that offer, as it were, different content tailored to the needs of various groups of people - he continued.

- There are to be two tracks. One is a track for everyone, so they know how to react in situations of threat [...] and the second major track is for people who would potentially want to join the ranks of the Polish army [...] and this will be a completely different training - he further explained.

- The second reason [...] is the intention that people interested in this training can do so in an easy, convenient way [...] signing up for training online - he added.

- The entire project is set to launch in the coming days, and all information on which profiles these trainings will be available in, and how to sign up for them, will be made available by the Minister of National Defence - he emphasized.

- Prime Minister Donald Tusk did everything from the very beginning to ensure this project did not come into being. It was precisely Germany, together with the Russians, who did everything to make this project happen. The existence of Nord Stream is not in our interest - said Cezary Tomczyk in the "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" program on TVN24.

- I am primarily outraged by Mr. Sikorski's behavior. A "gun-toting" man who always gets excited in that grand UN hall, saying something to the Russian ambassador, then, as they say, a "Cossack" online, but when a real issue, a real problem came up, well, we know what happened in the real world - Janusz Cieszyński said on TVP Info's "Gość Poranka".

- Jarosław Kaczyński constantly repeats that he does not want to talk to us, that there will be no coalition with us, he insults us, he lies about us, so I don't think I want to discuss the Senate pact with Jarosław Kaczyński, but I could talk to President Karol Nawrocki - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Radio Zet. 

- If Karol Nawrocki were the host of the Senate pact, of the broad right-wing forces, it would be a very interesting solution. That is, I do not intend to negotiate with Kaczyński, because he is not a man who keeps his word, with whom it is worth talking - he continued.

- On the other hand, Karol Nawrocki seems like a very good patron for a potential broad list. Karol Nawrocki would be an excellent host for such an agreement - added the Confederation leader.

- Conscription has been suspended in Poland, and we do not plan to reinstate it - stated Cezary Tomczyk during "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- I am convinced that this bill [on cohabitation] will be presented to the Council of Ministers, will be adopted by the Council of Ministers, and I believe it has a chance to be passed in the Sejm - Maciej Berek said on RMF FM.

- The changes being introduced, which were requested by the Polish People's Party, were also changes intended to adapt somewhat to the narrative, to the way the President tells stories about these issues - he continued, when asked if the president would sign the bill.

- The question of whether the president will sign it must always be directed to him - he added.

- If we don't significantly reduce social spending, Poland will go bankrupt. There is no other possibility. In the sense that we can either abolish our army, healthcare, and pensions, or reduce social spending - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Radio Zet.

- Minister Balczun is currently introducing, not through a legislative solution, but through management standards in State Treasury companies, principles for appointing people to positions in these companies - said Maciej Berek on RMF FM, responding to a listener's question about what is happening regarding the depoliticization of State Treasury companies.

- So, he is pursuing the same goal with a different tool, establishing ownership-wise what standards must be met [...]. It will be best if we have a situation where we do not have individuals in the companies' bodies who are politically affiliated - he continued.

- Do you really not feel the difference between what it was like during the PiS era [...]. We will start with standards; if there is room for legislative changes, we will try to implement those as well, but let's start with the factual situation, with improving the situation in these companies - he went on to say.

- The reality is that as long as Jarosław Kaczyński is the head there, and Mateusz Morawiecki his right hand, it will be very difficult to reach an agreement. Then [if they were to leave], an agreement appears as something achievable. If there is no departure, then there will likely be no agreement - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Radio Zet.

- The composition of the Council of Ministers is, in a political sense, the decision of the head of that government. Always. In a legal sense, the prime minister decides on the composition of the Council of Ministers by making a request to the president - said Maciej Berek on RMF FM, when asked if Prime Minister Donald Tusk would meet the conditions set by Szymon Hołownia regarding the change of the Sejm Marshal (Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Marshal for Poland 2050).

- From a political perspective, I will absolutely not evaluate this; it is a matter of discussions between the individuals concerned - he continued.

- We all know what is in the agreement, this agreement is available, and whatever discussions take place between the leaders of political groupings depends on the leaders of those groupings - he further stated.

- You, the editor, and the public can expect that this week Minister Żurek will announce legislative actions that he will undertake. These will be actions aimed at organizing this system, the judicial system, and putting everything back on its feet - said Maciej Berek on RMF FM, when asked about judicial reform and whether any of Minister Żurek's projects "can pass the president's filter."

- The question of what the president will do is a question for the president. However, we will present draft laws that will organize this area, and we will be determined to have them passed by the Sejm - he continued.

- A few days ago, I had the opportunity to participate with Prime Minister Tusk in a meeting with the President of the Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Human Rights – said Maciej Berek on RMF FM.

- At the Court of Human Rights, there are, as it is nicely put, approximately 1000 pending cases which Polish citizens have brought against the Polish state because their cases were decided by courts involving so-called neo-judges [...] this amounts to at least tens of thousands of euros for each person who brings such a claim against Poland – he continued.

- Firstly, we have a legal obligation to show that we are taking action to resolve this situation. An obligation stemming from international law and the Polish Constitution. Secondly, we want court proceedings to proceed in a manner that will not be challenged or considered dubious by people later – he added.

- It looks like we won't be adopting this bill today, because last night information emerged that there are still some legal glitches - Maciej Berek said on RMF FM when asked about the liquidation of the CBA.

- This bill has been waiting for quite some time, and it seems that not all strictly legal-legislative issues have been properly corrected, and we will probably have to postpone its consideration - he continued.

- This will likely be a matter of a week, because there was a decision to proceed with this bill, but last night I received a signal that some issues still need to be... either they can be corrected this morning [...], or it turns out that it will have to be postponed for another week - he went on to say.

- Today, the parliamentary committee is filing a notification of the possibility of a crime being committed by the former Minister of Justice, Zbigniew Ziobro - said Magdalena Sroka at a press conference of the Pegasus parliamentary committee.

- Zbigniew Ziobro, as the Minister of Justice, bore full responsibility for the expenditure of funds from the Fund for the Aid to Victims of Crime. He was the administrator of the Fund for the Aid to Victims of Crime, and it was he who failed to fulfill his duties concerning the Fund for the Aid to Victims of Crime, a fund that was intended for victims of crime - she continued.

- Despite warnings from Polish services about the danger of data obtained with this tool leaking, Zbigniew Ziobro decided to allocate funds for the acquisition of Pegasus, thereby enabling foreign services, in this case Israel, to obtain materials - she further stated.

- It was allowed, contrary to the legal opinions of the Polish Police, to use the tool to bypass security measures without a legal basis. [...] Today, the era of impunity is over. Today, we are filing a complaint against Zbigniew Ziobro - she added.

- Yesterday, I met with representatives of the legal community to undertake an in-depth discussion about the problems of the Polish justice system. Together we are seeking solutions that will restore citizens' trust in courts and faith in justice - wrote Zbigniew Bogucki on social media.

- Poland needs independent judges and independent, efficiently operating courts and prosecution service, not politicized rulings, the questioning of some judges by others, and illegal manual control by the ruling authorities on how court panels should be composed - he continued.

Wczoraj spotkałem się z przedstawicielami środowisk prawniczych w celu podjęcia pogłębionej dyskusji o problemach polskiego wymiaru sprawiedliwości. Wspólnie szukamy rozwiązań, które przywrócą obywatelom zaufanie do sądów i wiarę w sprawiedliwość. Polska potrzebuje niezawisłych…

— Zbigniew Bogucki🇵🇱 (@BoguckiZbigniew) October 8, 2025

- Yesterday's row surrounding the radio observatory near Toruń is not the end, it's only the beginning of the problem. The overwhelming majority of applications for financing research infrastructure, research tools used by Polish scientists, currently have no funding - said Adrian Zandberg at a press conference.

-This means very serious problems in many areas of Polish science, resulting from someone's decision to forcefully save money at the expense of science, at the expense of research, at the expense of development, without considering the costs of these apparent savings. Because the ministry cuts a few hundred thousand zlotys here and there, but in effect wastes tens of millions of zlotys that have been invested in many such research projects, infrastructure projects over the years, even decades - continued the leader of the Together party (Partia Razem).

- People who wrongly call themselves an investigative committee, which they are not after the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling that outlawed this body, are regularly committing acts that the Penal Code defines as crimes - Zbigniew Ziobro said at a press conference.

- Recently, they also, one might say, committed political hara-kiri, because they decided to use state coercion unlawfully and tried to play out a political campaign under the pretext of alleged interrogations, to which I was subjected in this pseudo-committee, and I don't think it did them any good. Politically, at least - he continued.

- I wish them health regardless, but I also wish them that the moment will come, and I am sure it will, when they themselves will stand before an independent court and answer for what they have done, for the crimes they have decided to commit in the name of the party interests of Civic Platform and its affiliates - he went on to say.

- There is no doubt that Donald Tusk's anger must have poured onto them very loudly and inclined them to further actions, hence I think that today's theater, perhaps under the Ministry of Justice, and its continuation, because let's be honest, this forceful, forced meeting was an opportunity for Poles to learn some new details about the major corruption and bribery scandals of people from Donald Tusk's closest circle - he added.

- Just as the scientific world was outraged by the news of the threat to close the radio observatory the day before yesterday, yesterday another piece of news erupted. Namely, the laboratory where the Polish atomic clock was created is under threat. It is a laboratory under threat, which plays a significant role in quantum research, and a laboratory into which we, as a state, have invested not thousands, not hundreds of thousands, but millions of zlotys in recent years - said Adrian Zandberg at a press conference.

- Contrary to the narrative of this pseudo-committee, I did not purchase this equipment, although I would have gladly bought it myself if the necessity arose. I would have done so without hesitation because it was equipment serving the security of Poles. This is because other institutions of the Polish state were authorized to manage and make decisions about its purchase - Zbigniew Ziobro said at a press conference.

- The purchase was just and reasonable, although, contrary to these claims, I did not execute it. However, I did indeed motivate colleagues, including Minister Kamiński [...] I spoke with him about purchasing such equipment, and I do not regret it; I would play such a role again - he continued.

- Soon we'll wake up to a Poland where crowdfunding is needed to keep scientific laboratories running. We expect the ministry to finally present stable financing for scientific infrastructure in Poland. This is not an unreasonable expectation - said Adrian Zandberg at a press conference.

- There is also something that needs to be done right here and now. Razem demands that the Ministry of Science disclose the list of scientific infrastructure elements that are currently at risk of closure due to lack of funding. This is so that we can have an honest conversation about the consequences of this underfunding of science, which was planned by the government, planned by the Ministry of Science, and planned by the Ministry of Finance, and how it will impact our country's scientific and developmental potential. This is the absolute minimum - said Adrian Zandberg at a press conference.

- On October 11th, let's together say "stop" to illegal migration and "no" to the Mercosur agreement. Be with us on October 11th at Warsaw's Castle Square at 2:00 PM. Poland needs your voice - says the narrator in a PiS promotional spot.

🇵🇱 11 października o 14:00, Plac Zamkowy, Warszawa.
👉 Powiedzmy wspólnie STOP nielegalnej migracji i NIE dla umowy z Mercosur! Razem zatrzymajmy niebezpieczne decyzje rządu Tuska!

- The prevention of plans to carry out sabotage in the form of derailing trains, orchestrated by foreign, Eastern services on Polish territory, which did not come to fruition, was thanks, among other things, to the use of this tool – said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.

- Why Minister Żurek, why didn't Minister Bodnar disclose those 500 crimes that were discovered thanks to this very system [Pegasus]? [...] Why, Minister Żurek, aren't you disclosing all these crimes? All it takes is your consent, and everything that was detected thanks to this system will be revealed - said Michał Wójcik at a press conference.

- A regulation cannot change a law; that's a difference in hierarchy, a chasm. At best, a regulation can detail a law, without exceeding its framework. In short, it is an executor, a servant of the law, and Mr. Żurek has decided to break laws with regulations and subordinate them to regulations - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.

- A complete upheaval, just like saying that it's not the Earth that should revolve around the Sun, but the Sun should revolve around the Earth - he continued.

- It is not the role of the government to issue ordinances that change, override laws and subordinate laws to ordinances. This is a blatant attack on the foundations of the Polish political system - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.

- Just as well, Donald Tusk shouldn't hesitate, he should go all out and issue ordinances in all matters - he continued.

- It's worth discussing whether vodka should indeed be sold on parliament grounds during Sejm sessions, given that some MPs clearly cannot control themselves and behave as we later see in those embarrassing video recordings - said Adrian Zandberg at a press conference.

- Perhaps it's time to discuss the fact that since we don't sell vodka in schools, we don't sell vodka in hospitals, and it's not the case that if someone goes to an employee canteen, they can buy half a liter there, drink it, and then return to work on the factory floor, then perhaps let's ask ourselves if in this place where laws are made, on which the fate of millions of people depends, there should certainly be a vodka bar. I think not, and I would gladly hear from the candidates for Marshal what they think regarding this aspect of organizing Sejm work - continued the chairman of the Together party.

- The EP recently revoked the immunity of the gentleman you see here, Mr. Obajtek, Mr. Dworczyk. Both gentlemen are MEPs, and immunity was revoked in a situation where, previously, the relevant EC committee twice refused to formulate and adopt an opinion stating that this revocation was justified. Here, the Civic Platform was clearly very fierce, because at one point it can be said that it also disciplined its allies, who previously, given the nature of the accusations and the lack of any evidence, did not want to proceed in this manner - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- This is sad on one hand, regarding the EP, because we will also talk about this; during this vote, the MEP who participated in a severe beating in Hungary, as part of Antifa, was defended - he continued.

- The EP in these matters does not operate on the principles of the rule of law, legality, or simply basic human decency, but operates on the principle that some are protected. The example of this lady shows that perhaps even if a murder had occurred, she would still be protected, because it seems she was in prison once, as she served 1.5 years in Hungary, where there was talk of attempted murder - he added.

- We have some absurd accusations and actions within the framework of this principle – give us the man, and we'll find the paragraph, because this entire operation, currently being conducted by an illegal prosecutor's office, even with greater intensity today than under the previous Minister of Justice, Mr. Bodnar. All of this is being carried out under that slogan, but please remember, if someone has forgotten or doesn't know this at all, that this was a saying that emerged during the period of Stalinist terror - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- I don't endorse that [Przemysław Czarnek's words about dogs], but please remember that the party is a formation that has its political program, but it is not a formation of people who agree with everything, and I think that Professor Czarnek simply prefers that a dog doesn't chase him when he's cycling - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- Nevertheless, there is no doubt about it, I believe that an era has changed, in many respects for the worse, but in some respects also for the better, and therefore this matter should be resolved in a simply civilized manner. That's all I can say on this matter, and some people have different opinions on this matter, just like in other similar matters within our party, there is never discipline in voting - he continued.

- Normally I would say this is just beating around the bush, which compromises them because the CBA has exposed many corruption issues, like Nowak, Giertych, and many other cases, which is why they hate this service - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference, when asked why the government is dealing with the liquidation of the CBA, given that it's known the president won't sign it.

- But considering what Żurek is doing [...] I am considering a completely possible situation, which I would never have considered before, that suddenly there will be a decree and the CBA will disappear, because if laws can be changed by decrees concerning the courts, then why not concerning the CBA - he continued.

- It's a matter for discussion. You know how it will end [with the submission of a motion of no confidence]. It will end with Tusk taking the floor and hurling insults at us, various absolutely unfounded accusations, usually based on the conviction, sincere in Tusk's case, of course, that we think like them, that we are like them. We are completely different, one might say, on opposite sides, but that's how it usually goes. It will be impossible to respond because it will be blocked within the Sejm's regulations - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- Then there will be a vote, perhaps flowers for Mr. Żurek, and so on, and so on. And that's one way of thinking. The second way of thinking is that it will be an opportunity to discuss all of this, more precisely, in a more elaborate way, but not too elaborate either, because there are time limits in the Sejm,  there are and must be, but here the debate, let alone a long one, will not be scheduled. Consequently, there will be little time, and we are still considering this, because on the one hand, we do not want to enable a new spectacle for our political opponents - he continued.

- I can say this - the Senate pact is a concept that has been functioning for a very long time in the discussions of politicians from my party, and I think also from other right-wing parties, because the other side forms such a pact, and it turns out to be effective. On the other hand, it's easy to calculate that if our side formed such a pact, it would also be effective, and even more so than theirs. And that's why there's something to discuss. However, linking this type of proposal with offensive performances shows only one thing - that Mr. Mentzen's presence in politics is, after all, a misunderstanding - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- I can tell you that at one point I was indeed being followed. By TVN's blue helicopter, which was flying over Gierek's former villa. At that time, it was the property of the Chancellery of the President, and there, myself and two other colleagues were writing the so-called 'Clarisse program'. And at this moment, the villa is no longer the property of the Chancellery of the President, but later, of course, it was checked whether we had paid, and of course, we did pay - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- Obviously, [Poland] should not extradite him [Volodymyr Z. to Germany]. The entire undertaking, Nord Stream 1, and later even more so Nord Stream 2, but both, were undertakings, I told Mrs. Merkel about this when she was Chancellor, that are fatal from the perspective of Poland's interests, Europe's, and in essence, also Germany's interests. Germany would probably also feel better if the war weren't taking place - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- The purchase of Pegasus was something obvious and absolutely necessary. Without such devices, it's impossible to fight espionage, external sabotage, or organized crime. But those who rule Poland today evidently don't want to fight it and seem to be afraid of this fight, which also creates an opportunity for all sorts of speculations, very bad ones for the side that governs today – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- When we have complete data from all schools [regarding how many students have opted out of health education], that is, when the principals enter it, we will naturally provide it to you. I assume it will be at the end of this week or at the beginning of next week – said Barbara Nowacka at a press conference at the Prime Minister's Chancellery.

- We were, of course, aware of what the optional nature of the subject meant. As you all know very well, this is a very well-prepared and very necessary subject [health education]. A subject that is meant to give children and young people resilience, which prepares them for adult life in specific, important areas. Doctors talk so much about preventative medicine, we are providing it in schools - said Barbara Nowacka at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

- However, you also know very well that the political storm unleashed by the Episcopate and right-wing politicians caused the subject to be introduced as optional this year. The obvious consequence of it being optional is that a significant portion of students and parents unfortunately decide not to take advantage of this subject - she continued.

"One year of work by a patriotic and competent government was enough for, for the first time, more Poles to leave Germany for Poland than from Poland to Germany. Nice, right?" Donald Tusk wrote on X.

Wystarczył rok pracy patriotycznego i kompetentnego rządu, żeby po raz pierwszy więcej Polaków wyjechało z Niemiec do Polski, niż z Polski do Niemiec. Fajnie, nie?

— Donald Tusk (@donaldtusk) October 8, 2025

- The moment the decision was made for [health education] not to be compulsory, the consequence was obvious. When I hear students saying it's great, I immediately have to ask: so why don't you try attending? But that's unfortunately how it goes with non-compulsory subjects. The same would happen if mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, or geography were non-compulsory, but I won't allow that - said Barbara Nowacka at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

- Please imagine what would happen in schools if there was a decision for it to be compulsory in the first year. We'd have the entire conspiracy crowd descending on us, who, just like in the case of HPV vaccinations, tried to disrupt order and peace in schools - she stated.

- Let's give parents time, let's give society time. I hope that teachers and school principals will also see how great the need is among young people for exactly this kind of subject - she added.

- The team that was supposed to develop recommendations [regarding homework] is still working, as far as I know. One thing is certain - it won't be like it was. That is, there is no return to what it was before 2023, when children spent hours doing homework from materials that hadn't been covered in lessons before, and they were chasing what teachers couldn't get done in class because, after Ms. Zalewska's reform, primary school classes encompassed the entire primary school and middle school curriculum - said Barbara Nowacka at a press conference in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

- Such a pathological situation is unacceptable. […] When we are ready with the recommendations, we will gladly share them with you - she declared.

- The coalition agreement is clear and publicly available, and it contains precise provisions regarding the mid-term change of the Marshal of the Sejm. I don't think there are any doubts that all parties, meaning the coalition leaders or the coalition parties that decided on and signed this agreement [...], will implement such an agreement - said Adam Szłapka at a press conference in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

- There are no provisions in the coalition agreement regarding additional deputy prime ministers. This will, of course, be the Prime Minister's decision; if he wishes to make such a decision, he will speak about it - stated the government spokesperson.

- The priority for our government is undoubtedly security, and that is why we are planning 200 billion for defense in next year's budget, almost 5% of GDP. Therefore, the state debt is practically growing because we treat security as our highest priority - said Andrzej Domański in the "Afternoon Conversation" on RMF FM.

- We are focusing on economic growth, but we have also presented, for example in the draft budget law, actions such as a higher CIT for the banking sector, an increase in excise duty on alcohol, and a higher sugar tax, so we are also taking action on the revenue side, – said Andrzej Domański in the RMF FM’s “Afternoon Conversation”.

- I highly doubt it will happen. A pilot program can, of course, be conducted. I myself believe that testing economic policies through such pilot programs makes sense. Perhaps some private companies will be convinced that they can work more effectively in 4 days, as part of a 4-day work week. However, I am against any mandates. We will not introduce a 4-day work week in the Ministry of Finance.- said Andrzej Domański in the "Afternoon Interview" on RMF FM.

- Minister Błaszczak, I hope, realizes that state debt also increased during the PiS government. I hope he realizes that they left us with an economy in stagnation, with 0% economic growth. With the inflation that PiS had in 2022, 2023, a total of 25% inflation over two years. All statistics improved for PiS thanks to high inflation, which, as the editor will admit, hit the wallets of Poles - said Andrzej Domański in the "Afternoon Conversation" on RMF FM.

The Head of the Presidential Chancellery, Zbigniew Bogucki, published a statement from President Karol Nawrocki concerning the rejection by the Sejm and the Senate of the report on the activities of the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) for 2024:

“[...] I declare that I categorically disagree with the arguments contained in the aforementioned resolutions of the Sejm and the Senate, and therefore I do not confirm the expiry of the terms of office of the members of the National Broadcasting Council.”

- Today, instead of talking to people about issues - we're halfway through the election term - about what we've already done, what has succeeded, what we want to do next, we're spinning our wheels a bit around a completely unnecessary conversation about nominations - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on the channel „Rymanowski Live”.

- It's normal that in a coalition we share responsibility. Responsibility is tied to specific positions. We share it, we agreed on something, let's do it. Let's close this chapter and start dealing with issues. Really, for me, this is crucial - she continued.

„We have four coalition partners, each of these partners has a Deputy Prime Minister today, including Civic Platform. Why? Because we agreed at the table that it would be this way, in trust we acknowledged that since Civic Platform wanted this Deputy Prime Minister immediately at the time of the discussions, we agreed. […] And we agreed that the Deputy Prime Minister from Poland 2050 would be designated by Poland 2050,” Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on the „Rymanowski Live” channel.

„The Chairman [Włodzimierz Czarzasty] is telling the truth – it's not in the coalition agreement. But that doesn't mean there wasn't an oral agreement when we were discussing the government reconstruction. Prime Minister Sikorski's position isn't in the coalition agreement either, so what? We agreed to it,” she indicated.

- Currently, the government has allocated too little money for the maintenance of scientific laboratories, so, for example, and this is less talked about, we have an atomic clock - said Adrian Zandberg in an interview with Monika Olejnik on "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.

- An exceptional installation by Polish physicists [...] the laboratory that created it, which is responsible for quantum technologies, on which the future of the Polish economy depends, is threatened with liquidation. Do I have to stand up in the Sejm and shout at a minister every day for a few hundred thousand zlotys to be found for projects our future depends on? I hope not - he continued.

- It's the exact opposite. You have a minister of science who can do nothing, and suddenly it turns out that a small, opposition party, Razem, is actually capable of forcing the Prime Minister to change his decision in a matter like this [the radio telescope] - Adrian Zandberg said on TVN24, when asked if it wouldn't be better if the Razem party were in the government and its voice were stronger.

- I did not vote for Karol Nawrocki, but I respect my voters. And my voters are sensible people, which is evident [...] one only needs to talk to them to know what political decisions they make - said Adrian Zandberg on TVN24, when asked about not transferring votes to Rafał Trzaskowski after the first round of elections and whether he is satisfied that Karol Nawrocki is president.

- I will not behave as if voters were my property, no one will persuade me to do that - he continued.

- I think Nowa Lewica has chosen its coalition partner, and that partner is Donald Tusk. And I will say this, looking at the falling approval ratings for this ruling majority, perhaps paradoxically the most sensible thing they can do in two years will be to form one list for the ruling coalition, and they will probably be on it – Adrian Zandberg said on TVN24 when asked if Razem would run in the elections with Nowa Lewica.

- I will not be on that list, because I am in rational, pro-social, freedom-oriented opposition to this government – he continued.

- Please note that no one has ever explicitly said it wasn't settled. Moreover, logically speaking: are there four parties in the coalition? Yes. Should they have shared responsibility for good cooperation? They should. So what is stopping all parties from having a Deputy Prime Minister? To end this scandalous discussion, unnecessary for people, which robs them of hope? Because people want hope, and we are talking about individuals - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on the "Rymanowski Live" channel.

- We are not obliged to do so, as we are not part of the coalition majority - Adrian Zandberg said on TVN24, when asked if the Together (Razem) party would vote for Włodzimierz Czarzasty to be the Sejm Marshal.

- I would gladly listen to what ideas the candidates for Sejm Marshal have for organizing the Sejm, because there are a few matters that should finally be addressed - he continued.

- The first example that comes to mind is this pathology with mileage allowances [...]. These are seemingly small things, yes, but when we talk about what needs to be changed in this Sejm, let's also talk about [alcohol in the Sejm restaurant] - he went on to say.

- There are also quite important matters concerning the functioning of the Sejm, for example, parliamentary oversight of the government, which today is often quite illusory, so I would gladly like to hear how the candidates for Sejm Marshal have ideas for this to change - he added, when asked if this would determine whether Together (Razem) says "yes" regarding Czarzasty.

- On specific issues [...]. I strongly believe Radek Sikorski's speech at the UN forum was good. And for that, I can praise him. But I'm sorry, regarding his cowardice when it comes to relations with Israel, I cannot praise him - said Adrian Zandberg on TVN24, when asked if there was any minister in Prime Minister Tusk's government whom he could praise.

- We are dealing with a situation where the far-right government of Israel is massively violating human rights at this moment. Innocent people are dying there, children are dying, women are dying, a war crime is being committed - he continued.

- I believe this is the moment when a state that takes human rights seriously, that has in its constitution what Poland has written in its constitution, should simply impose sanctions together with other European countries - he added.

- I would expect the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Radek Sikorski, not only to immediately summon the ambassador of a country to task when some foreign government kidnaps our citizens on international waters [...] but above all, I would expect us, together with other European countries, to work towards terminating the special agreements that today bind the European Union with Israel - he added.

- I cannot imagine a situation where any of the coalition parties dictates to another coalition party regarding a candidate for any position. And says: 'Oh, this person should become a deputy minister, and this person shouldn't, within PSL.' Can you, Mr. Editor, imagine such a situation as a normal coalition scenario? - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on the 'Rymanowski Live' channel.

- I am not a proponent of cornering anyone. I am convinced that no one in Poland 2050 wants to corner anyone. We simply state that if we take on co-responsibility, then co-responsibility is linked to specific positions. These positions serve specific goals, and are not an end in themselves. Let's act together, let's stop talking about ourselves all the time - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on the channel “Rymanowski Live”.

- These are professional relationships. For all listeners who suspect something is amiss - please find just one statement from me, a single one in any interview I've given, where I allow myself to make any inappropriate comments or judgments about my boss, who is the Prime Minister of the Polish government. This is unacceptable. I have never allowed myself such a thing in my life - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on the "Rymanowski Live" channel.

- There is, I think, not only in our club, quite a lot of controversy. It can simply be heard, I walk around the Sejm, controversies surrounding this candidacy [of Włodzimierz Czarzasty for Marshal of the Sejm] can be heard - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on the "Rymanowski Live" channel.

- There are such controversies, and everyone knows that there are these controversies. Nevertheless, I believe, and I really stick to this with iron consistency, towards us I expect the same, and we have to give the same - there is an agreement, there are understandings, we are doing it - she emphasized.

When asked if she herself would support his candidacy, Pełczyńska-Nałęcz recalled that she is not a Member of Parliament.
