- The Arraiolos Group Summit has concluded. I thank all the leaders for the substantive and constructive discussions, which focused on security issues in our region and the possibilities of using artificial intelligence in the civilian and military spheres - President Karol Nawrocki wrote on social media.

Szczyt Grupy Arraiolos dobiegł końca. Dziękuję wszystkim Liderom za merytoryczne i konstruktywne rozmowy, które koncentrowały się na kwestiach bezpieczeństwa w naszym regionie oraz na możliwościach wykorzystania sztucznej inteligencji w obszarze cywilnym i wojskowym. pic.twitter.com/cpss1KyWt3

"Agreements must be kept. It is written that Czarzasty becomes Sejm Marshal halfway through the term, and we must deliver it," - said Piotr Zgorzelski in Polsat News.

- No, there will be no relocation, we will not agree to relocation, for several reasons. The fundamental one is security issues, but also please remember that it is Poland that bears enormous financial costs for the defense of the eastern border - said Marcin Kierwiński in "Pytanie Dnia" on TVP Info.

- It's good that President Nawrocki strongly supports Prime Minister Tusk's government policy, although I don't want to be malicious here. I also understand this as a firm opposition to what President Nawrocki's political buddies, i.e., PiS politicians, were up to - Marcin Kierwiński continued.

- The President cannot formally renounce the pact, at least not with such a letter, because it is European law, but he can support Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government. No, I am not being ironic, I am deeply convinced that on fundamental matters concerning Polish security, the President should speak with the same voice as the government - stated Minister Kierwiński.

- The fact that this is not a normal standard and that there are matters concerning Polish security on which President Nawrocki still wants to show his distinctiveness, rather shows the irresponsibility of the President's inner circle. However, in this matter, I am glad that the President is speaking with the same voice as the government. Only in this matter is everything clear, it is Prime Minister Tusk's government that has been consistently and firmly saying no to compulsory relocation ideas for many months - the minister continued.

- We have never even started any kind of poaching process, because doing such things within the democratic coalition is, first of all, foolish - said Piotr Zgorzelski in Polsat News, when asked how many MPs from Poland 2050 had applied to the PSL.

- What do we need those MPs for? What for? Well, what for? We are the second largest parliamentary club [in the coalition], a parliamentary club that is ideologically and substantively shaped, we vote as one man [...] you see how our colleagues from Poland 2050 voted, at least on the CPK, 1/3 yes, 1/3 yes, 1/3 yes - he continued.

- Even if 1 or 2 came, we thank them for crossing over, nothing major would happen or change regarding the size of the club. We are really not looking, not watching out, not inviting, we don't need them - he went on to say.

- I can say maliciously: if you want to dictate people's lives, politicians of Law and Justice, then I say you're on, introduce a two-term limit in the Sejm and Senate - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Polsat News.

- I will vote for it, I promise I will vote for it - he continued, when asked if he would vote for it.

- And one more thing. I have expressed strong criticism of Israel’s excessive use of force in Gaza. But not every bloody war is genocide - wrote Radosław Sikorski on social media.

- Today in Lviv, I was at the house of Raphael Lemkin, the Polish diplomat who coined the term ‘genocide.’ He considered it the ‘crime of crimes,’ something even worse than a war crime and a crime against humanity, as a _planned_ extermination of an ethnic group - emphasized the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

I jeszcze jedno. Wyrażałem stanowczą krytykę nadmiernego użycia siły przez Izrael w Gazie. Ale nie każda krwawa wojna jest ludobójstwem.
Dzisiaj we Lwowie byłem pod domem Rafała Lemkina, polskiego dyplomaty, który wymyślił termin ‚ludobójstwo.’ Uważał je za ‚zbrodnię nad… https://t.co/PdCJ3ge612

- Anyone who knows Donald Tusk knows that these kinds of attempts to force a decision are ineffective. Donald Tusk detests such situations. Besides, I think that what Prime Minister Donald Tusk said yesterday, that he will make the decision on who will be Prime Minister in due time, and everyone should adhere to that - said Marcin Kierwiński on TVP Info’s “Question of the Day.”

- I actually learned a few days before you, the journalists, heard it at the press conference. Yes, I am surprised, because when someone enters politics, when someone founds a new political party, when someone says, in the name of that party, they refer to the year 2050 with a long-term vision for Poland, it seems they are determined to be in politics - said Marcin Kierwiński in "Pytanie Dnia" on TVP Info.

- This law [abolishing term limits in local government] has a chance of being passed, but let's remember that the legislative process consists of, as it were, three entities: the Sejm, the Senate, and finally, there's the president's famous pen, which is not very benevolent, I wouldn't even say merciful, towards our coalition's projects - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Polsat News.

- But we know that the president was a local government official, so he probably knows more about this subject than the average citizen, and we don't rule out a meeting with the president - he continued.

- We will show the president the outcome that will be the result of public consultations, where I know many non-governmental organizations are already signing up, because I think they feel that limiting the choice for mayors, town mayors, city presidents [...] in fact restricts the freedom of citizens - he went on to say.

- When we presented this bill in the Sejm, no one, no parliamentary club, no one gave it a chance of success. Meanwhile, the motion to reject, submitted by the Razem party, which I have already mentioned, was rejected, and the bill went to committee - said Piotr Zgorzelski in Polsat News, when asked why the PSL is so insistent on abolishing term limits in local government.

- Today I can say that a majority is forming, perhaps not yet complete, to pass this bill - he continued.

- Perhaps in the Civic Coalition club, there will soon be more supporters of this law than there have been so far - he added, when pressed whether the Prime Minister had supported this bill.

- If at a meeting with a politician there are people who express different opinions, then in a democratic world, this is nothing wrong - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Polsat News, when asked about the situation where a woman was removed from a meeting with Radosław Sikorski.

- If, at a meeting with a politician in a democratic world, a participant of that meeting is removed or even carried out, preventing her from finishing her statement, even if that statement were contrary to the prevailing atmosphere or the line of conversation conducted by the minister, and then to mock and jeer, well, it's a pity she wasn't left as she was supposed to be, since they carried her out - he continued.

- In my opinion, it was mockery, how was this lady supposed to stay if she was carried out - he went on, when pressed if the minister had been mocking.

- A cow that bellows much gives little milk, and little remains from Adrian Zandberg's bellowing, because it is all calculated for an immediate political effect, not for concern for the state - said Piotr Zgorzelski in Polsat News, when asked about Adrian Zandberg's post containing the following fragment about Jan Grabiec: "One has to be Donald Tusk to appoint such an idiot as head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery."

- I know Minister Grabiec, and I know there was no ill will in that statement, perhaps more a concern that if someone takes such a risk, often unnecessary, they might expose themselves to unnecessary consequences - said Piotr Zgorzelski in an interview with Grzegorz Kępka on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of the Events) on Polsat News, when asked if the expedition of activist flotillas to Gaza reminds him, as it does Jan Grabiec, of a vacation.

- That's how I would interpret it, and I absolutely do not think that Minister Grabiec in any way wants to ridicule or torment the participants of this flotilla, which was essentially a humanitarian mission - he continued.

- Donald Tusk's team is carrying out a brazen attack on Polish courts. First, they illegally seized the prosecution service, then, contrary to judicial councils, they replaced court presidents, and now they want to manually appoint judges to cases - says the narrator in a spot published on PiS's social media.

As we hear in the recording: - Żurek's regulation from September 29th is a blatant violation of the Constitution. It is a blow to the independence of judges and citizens' right to a fair trial. It's a straightforward path to manually controlling verdicts under political dictation.

- The dismissal of the Nowak, Giertych, and Grodzki cases – they want to be untouchable, they want to implement the scenario of "impunity for their own." Poland is drowning in legal chaos. Come to the protest against Tusk's policy - the narrator concludes, referring to tomorrow's event.

📢 Ekipa Tuska przeprowadza zamach na polskie sądy. Nielegalne przejęcie prokuratury, wymiana prezesów, teraz Żurek chce ręcznie wyznaczać sędziów.

- This just shows how an organized criminal group is ruling Poland right now and how degenerate this state is. By the way, I saw this in the European Parliament just now, where a motion was filed at the same session. My own immunity was revoked because I liked a film about migrants that they didn't like, and at the last EP session, they defended an Italian communist who beat passers-by on the street with a telescopic baton - stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

- If someone thinks that choosing a club, a crowbar and recognizing that African totalitarian systems are the best model, and that this is not a time to abide by the law, but as his supporters wrote in "Gazeta Wyborcza", that it is time to go all out, if someone considers that to be a solution, then yes, in that he will be brilliant - stated Patryk Jaki on Radio Zet.

Europhobes claim the European Union is undemocratic. Yet, paradoxically, in some areas, it may be too democratic. I am a proponent of unanimous EU expansion, but not across 50 points. "Unanimity and liberum veto are not the only forms of democracy," said Radosław Sikorski in Lviv during the panel discussion "The Power of Diplomacy and the Diplomacy of Power - Global Challenges."

Eurofobowie mówią, że Unia Europejska jest niedemokratyczna. A paradoksalnie w niektórych obszarach może być zbyt demokratyczna. Jestem zwolennikiem jednomyślnego rozszerzenia UE, ale nie w 50 punktach.

- Paradoxically, Moscow's aggression was a sobering experience for many. Putin dreamt of weakening Europe and pushing NATO away from his borders. He got two new member states and a huge increase in the Alliance's defense spending - said Radosław Sikorski during the ceremony of awarding an honorary doctorate from Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.

Paradoksalnie, agresja Moskwy była dla wielu otrzeźwieniem. Putin marzył o osłabieniu Europy i oddaleniu NATO od swoich granic. Dostał dwa nowe kraje członkowskie i ogromny wzrost wydatków Sojuszu na obronność.

- This is a matter I spoke about a year ago, and a matter in which Polish society was surveyed, and the majority of Poles believe that dangers should be neutralized before they reach Polish borders. However, within the North Atlantic Alliance, we have an integrated air defense system, and such decisions would have to be NATO’s, not just Poland’s - said Radosław Sikorski at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.

- I am especially pleased to be in this historic building, for this city, but also for the history of both our countries, and to join such a distinguished group. Firstly, former President of Poland Bronisław Komorowski, secondly, Prime Minister Donald Tusk, but also colleague [Boris] Johnson, and at an institution that was once a forge for Polish diplomacy, and today is a forge for the diplomacy of independent Ukraine - said Radosław Sikorski at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.

- The wave of layoffs in Poland is hitting with a force that many have not yet realized – but if the state does not wake up in time, everyone will feel its effects. I invite you to an analysis – wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media.

- It is clearly visible that the current government lacks a coherent strategy for tougher times. Instead of active economic policy and forecasting trends, we are observing firefighting – often only when the fire has already consumed a significant part of the labor market. This is a lack of responsibility for the future of Polish families and companies – wrote the former prime minister.

- The state cannot be a passive commentator of events – it must be their participant and organizer. If courage and vision are lacking today, tomorrow we will pay the price in the form of persistent unemployment and weakening of the competitiveness of the entire economy – Morawiecki emphasized.

- I do not agree with putting citizens against the wall – when the Tusk government fails in its role as a guarantor of social stability, we present further economic program proposals. It's time for express action, not more symbolic gestures! – he added.

- The time comes when you have to pass the baton to successors. Who can, believe, want, have already learned, and will build this organization better and stronger - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- I'm really not the kind of person who walks around with a tube of glue looking for a seat to stick to. I'm really not a leader who only thinks about how to identify the best among us, just to cut them down, so that God forbid, a successor doesn't emerge - he continued.

- I'm not a Herod in politics. I am someone who, on the contrary, looks for those wiser, better, stronger than myself, to let them go ahead, and this is precisely the best moment. Two years before the elections. Right before the elections, it would be extremely painful, and immediately after the elections, completely incomprehensible - he went on to say.

- This party will get between 7 and 10% in the next election. If any of you wish to bet me on this, I hasten to inform you that this might be your last opportunity to bet with the Marshal of the Sejm, or one of your last opportunities – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- Of course, there is a place for Poland 2050, and there is a need for Poland 2050 to try to restore normality in politics and finally limit this sick, toxic duopoly, even though it is not easy when one wants to take responsibility for Poland – he continued.

This morning, Razem MP Marcelina Zawisza announced that she had visited the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for parliamentary oversight in order to "obtain a complete list of applications for research infrastructure that did not receive funding".

In the afternoon, Zawisza published the aforementioned list on her social media. It is a table containing 241 projects/investments, for which the requested (mostly) three-year funding by scientific institutions would cost a total of PLN 520 million.

Additionally, the Razem MP published a list of applications that did receive funding – this list contains 18 items for a total amount of PLN 170 million.

- No. There was never such a signal – said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference, when asked if there had been any signal from the Prime Minister that "Pełczyńska-Nałęcz is a no".

- The Prime Minister, it has always been the case that when it came to personnel nominations, we discussed them, that's true, because everyone has their own, so to speak, pros and cons, with one person there's chemistry, with another there isn't, but I have never encountered a situation where the Prime Minister told me: listen, I don't accept this, he always said: this is your decision, you decide, and you also bear responsibility for it later – he continued.

"Listening to the voice of the coalition partners, particularly Civic Coalition, regarding the necessity of respecting the coalition agreement, I have convened a meeting of the Committee on Economy and the Committee on Energy for October 16th to review Poland 2050's draft bill on depoliticizing State Treasury companies (print no. 261)" - wrote Rafał Komarewicz on X.

"The bill, fulfilling point 13 of this agreement, which has so far been blocked by coalition partners, should now be adopted without issue, given the assurances of respect for the agreement from the entire 15th October Coalition. This will be an opportunity for everyone to prove their fidelity to its provisions less than a month before the change in the position of the Marshal of the Sejm" - he continued in his post.

Wsłuchując się w głos koalicjantów, w szczególności Koalicji Obywatelskiej, o konieczności poszanowania dla umowy koalicyjnej, zwołałem na 16 października posiedzenie Komisji Gospodarki i Komisji Energii w celu rozpatrzenia projektu @PL_2050 o odpartyjnieniu spółek Skarbu Państwa…

- Yes, we did not include that in the coalition agreement, but yes, we have trust in our coalition partners, we respect them, and we understand that various games being played in the media do not change anything in this matter - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- No malice from the Left or Marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty can shake my conviction that the good and stability of this coalition are values worth fighting for - he continued.

- I remember the conditions and the pressure under which we signed the coalition agreement in '23. 75% turnout, a miracle happened, PiS was removed from power, and we had to negotiate very quickly because we felt the breath of people on our necks saying: make the change, because we voted for change - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- You remember, because I remember, what happened here during the first month of this Sejm term? When every day, as I went out for a session, I wasn't sure if PiS would really give up power or not. At that time, we didn't have the luxury of considering what would happen in two years and concocting arrangements, we had to quickly come to an agreement and form a government - he continued.

- Under such conditions, we signed an agreement which was later commented on many times in our meetings, saying, "Well, it's obvious that after this change in the position of the Marshal of the Sejm, you'll have this and that" - he went on to say.

- We cannot imagine a situation where we would tell the Left who should be the deputy prime minister. It is the Left that nominates a candidate for deputy prime minister. We cannot imagine such a situation in relation to the PSL - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- When Prime Minister Donald Tusk approached us with a request to approve the idea that, at his suggestion, Radosław Sikorski would be deputy prime minister, which is also not stipulated in the coalition agreement, we agreed to it because we believe it is good for Poland - he continued.

- I maintain that it is Polska 2050 that has the right to nominate a candidate for the position of deputy prime minister, mind you, in a coalition government - he went on to say.

- When there is a change in the position of the Sejm Marshal, the balance in our coalition relations will shift. [...] We have expressed our expectation that, in that case, it is natural for us to have a Deputy Prime Minister and a Deputy Marshal after this change - said Szymon Hołownia at a press conference.

- This has been stated many times in our discussions, openly, without any doubts, and was expressed during our meeting at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister when the government reconstruction was discussed. Everyone at the table considered it obvious, and no objections were raised on this matter, therefore I understand that such a decision will be made for the good of the coalition - he continued.

- I have told you many times [...] I have used the term "coup d'état" many times, and not in a legal capacity, which I have also repeatedly emphasized, but in a journalistic capacity, speaking about a serious dysfunction of the state in a situation where its external security was threatened, which would have happened if I had listened to all those voices that were [...] directed at me at the time and which were, in fact, calling for me to break the Constitution and destabilize the systemic order of the Polish state - Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference.

- I hear that the media are reporting that this hearing was dedicated to my words from an interview I gave to Polsat. Well, it is no secret that the proceedings initiated by the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw are based on a motion filed by Judge Bogdan Święczkowski, who notified the prosecutor's office that, in his opinion, there might have been an attempt to change the state's system or obstruct the work of important state bodies - Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference.

- Judge Bogdan Święczkowski participated in the hearing [...] along with his legal representatives, and a representative, a legal counsel for the National Council of the Judiciary, was also present. I do not know the content of their notification, but the prosecutor's office granted them the status of injured parties in this proceeding, while I appeared there as a witness - he continued.

- I provided all the answers today to the prosecutor's questions that were asked [...] we agreed that the next meeting, the next hearing, will take place in early November, and there, the questions will be asked to me by, as I understand it, the injured party according to the prosecutor's decision, which is Judge Święczkowski - he went on to say.

- Konfederacja has neither experience nor knowledge. I will not hesitate to say that today it is a group of economic and political dilettantes who seem to believe that simple prescriptions presented today will bring any improvement - said Jacek Sasin at a press conference.

- These are prescriptions that would lead Poland and a significant portion of Poles into a dramatic situation - he continued.

- We can assume a scenario where, even next year, due to the relations between EU oligarchs and the government of the December 13th coalition, we might be excluded from this pact for one year. Perhaps for another year, which will be an election year - stated Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

- But if we don't dam this threat, then in two years it will turn out that there's no way out, that we'll have to accept into Poland those who arrived illegally in Europe, invited for example by Chancellor Angela Merkel - he continued.

- We cannot agree to this; we need an argument in the form of a referendum on rejecting the migration pact - he went on to say.

- Over the past few months, signatures have been collected in the offices of Law and Justice parliamentarians for a petition for a citizens' referendum on rejecting the migration pact. I would like to thank everyone who has signed this petition. I also kindly ask those who have not yet done so to sign this petition. We will also be collecting signatures tomorrow, at the demonstration which will begin at 2 p.m. at Castle Square in Warsaw - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

- October 11th, 2 PM, Castle Square is also the day when we want to meet once more, all members of the Election Defense Movement, in order to save Poland. Karol Nawrocki's victory has opened a great opportunity, but this great opportunity must be seized, let's also seize it with our presence tomorrow - said Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference.

- Later, in November, this is already an announcement for the Election Defense Movement, further actions that will aim to improve, even further professionalize our preparations for the next elections, for the next elections which will be held in Poland at the latest in 2027, but at the latest. It is unknown if it will not happen sooner - he continued.

Waldemar Żurek appeared at the Supreme Court headquarters for a press conference organized by the Jurors' Council, during which the death of Adam Strzembosz was announced.

The Minister of Justice called him a "legend of the judiciary." - He was a guiding figure for me [...]. In the most difficult moments of the attack on the independent judiciary, Adam Strzembosz, though ailing and tired, instead of sitting in his armchair, came out to us and offered his support. I personally thank him very much for that - stated Żurek, after which the conference participants honored Strzembosz’s memory with a minute of silence.

“On what grounds did you intrude upon the Supreme Court?”

Żurek then moved on to the main topic of the conference. As he was thanking the Jurors' Council, Aleksander Stępkowski, a Supreme Court judge and co-founder of Ordo Iuris, unexpectedly appeared at the conference.

- I wanted to ask on what grounds you intruded… How did the executive branch coordinate its presence on the Supreme Court premises, with the President of the Supreme Court? - he asked, to which the chairman of the Jurors' Council replied that the minister was their guest.

- I am not talking to you, you are not the First President of the Supreme Court - Stępkowski retorted, before continuing, addressing Żurek: - Will the First President of the Supreme Court be able to organize a press conference for himself at the Ministry of Justice on Monday? […] You gentlemen have violated the order of the First President of the Supreme Court, concerning the rules for unauthorized persons on the Supreme Court premises.

- Mr. Neo-judge Stępkowski, please leave - the head of the Jurors' Council said in the meantime.

“I do not want to descend to that level”

The Minister of Justice responded to Stępkowski: - The Jurors' Council is a legal body, unquestioned by anyone. The Jurors' Council has the right to meet with the Minister of Justice, who is responsible for the reform of the judiciary, including the Supreme Court.

- I was invited here legally, I am here legally. Professor Stępkowski is attacking me, but I do not want to descend to that level and I do not want to ask those difficult questions that I once asked the professor. […] Today, the person performing this function on behalf of Prof. Manowska is trying to disrupt our meeting with society, de facto with the media. And this at a time when we are commemorating an icon of the judiciary - he continued.

“We are dealing with a brutal intrusion”

In response, Stępkowski stated that “the minister intruded upon the Supreme Court premises as the executive branch and Attorney General without coordination or the knowledge of the host of this place, who is the First President of the Supreme Court”. - We are dealing with a brutal intrusion and a violation of the autonomy of the Supreme Court - he emphasized.

“The Supreme Court is not a private farm”

After a few minutes of mutual exchange of words, Stępkowski left the conference. - We are in a public utility building. This is a building for the entire society. The Supreme Court is neither Mr. Stępkowski's nor Ms. Manowska's private farm - commented Waldemar Żurek.

"Adam Strzembosz, the First Judge of the Republic, has passed away. He firmly defended the Constitution and the rule of law. 'There are and will be decent people in Poland' - he said in 2019. He gave these decent people hope, which was so easily lost then." - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X.

Adam Strzembosz, Pierwszy Sędzia Rzeczpospolitej, nie żyje. Twardo bronił Konstytucji i rządów prawa. “Są i będą w Polsce przyzwoici ludzie” - mówił w 2019 roku. Dawał tym przyzwoitym nadzieję, którą tak łatwo było wtedy utracić.

"One must have no heart to mock humanitarian aid for victims of war crimes. One must have no brain to say something like that in the media. One must be Donald Tusk to appoint such an idiot head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister" - wrote Adrian Zandberg on X.

This refers to Jan Grabiec's statement on TVN24 on Thursday. When asked if he supported MP Sterczewski in his mission, the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister replied: "I probably wouldn't call it a mission; when we saw those pictures from those boats in Barcelona, it looked more like a vacation than a mission."

Trzeba nie mieć serca, żeby wyśmiewać pomoc humanitarną dla ofiar zbrodni wojennych.

Trzeba nie mieć mózgu, żeby powiedzieć coś takiego w mediach.

- Polish science should receive significantly more funding, and indeed, there is more funding. However, it's a drop in the ocean of needs. If we want to be an innovative country, and we have truly excellent scientists, we just need to give them the opportunity to work, function, and conduct research - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska on "Gość Radia ZET".

- I would lie if I said I'm happy that there are only these funds for science. But this is all that we can provide in our budget at this moment - she stated.

- I would have to examine it [the bill] thoroughly, but what Minister Żurek did recently does not inspire optimism. He brutally violates the law, he violates the Constitution, so Minister Żurek's proposals, after what happened last week, will of course be analyzed in the Presidential Chancellery. However, Minister Żurek's recent actions have not shown that he wishes to be a partner in discussion with the President of Poland. This should never have happened - stated President Karol Nawrocki in Estonia, when asked if he would accept a compromise proposed by Minister Żurek regarding the so-called rule of law act.

- I cannot imagine anyone being carried out of a meeting. Meetings are open, and at meetings, everyone has the right, provided they behave culturally, to ask the most difficult questions and express the most difficult opinions for those participating in the meeting - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in "Gość Radia ZET," when asked about the incident at Radosław Sikorski's meeting yesterday, when a pro-Palestinian activist was removed from the hall. The activist interrupted the speech of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and accused him of lies regarding the war in the Gaza Strip.

- Such a situation should not happen. No one should be carried out of a meeting – unless, of course, they behave in a very uncultured manner. Disruptions, these are emotions, they also shouldn't happen, but I wouldn't carry anyone out of a meeting - she assessed.

- It is very difficult for Mr. Szymon Hołownia to part with this role [of Marshal of the Sejm] - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska on 'Gość Radia ZET'.

- I don't think [the coalition] will last two years, certainly not in this formula. In Poland, you can't govern against the president, you can govern alongside the president, the president doesn't necessarily have to be from the same camp, but you have to build some kind of relationship - said Adam Bielan on Radio Plus.

- Tusk is not capable of building a relationship with President Karol Nawrocki in any way. We remember what the President said, assessing how disastrous this government was during the presidential campaign, and what Tusk said, I mean his scandalous accusations against the incumbent head of state - he continued.

- Given the power the president holds in Poland, according to our Constitution, he can veto any law, except for the budget law, this government will not achieve any major things anymore - he went on to say.

- Putin's group operates here all the time, and the authorities allow it all the time. The authorities also allow the law regulating demonstrations to be broken all the time, because these counter-demonstrators should be moved at least 100 meters away from this location. But let's hope this time will end. I am sure it will end, it's just difficult to say at the moment whether we will have to wait almost 2 years, or 2 years, or if it will be sooner - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the so-called Smolensk anniversary gathering.

- But I assure you that we will fight for the truth about the Smolensk catastrophe, about the crime of Putin and his people, all the time. We will also act to ensure that the authorities that come into power will precisely determine who they are and who supports, who pays those who cause disturbances here every month, and that they will be appropriately punished. And that also those who are simply ill, like the one standing opposite me here, will be treated, rather than disrupting the mourning ceremonies - he continued.

- A question for Donald Tusk. In my opinion, no - Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska stated on "Gość Radia ZET," when asked if Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz is the future deputy prime minister.

- I always support all women, but the situation is really serious, and this must be a government based on mutual trust. And the prime minister [...] must have people by their side to whom they have full trust. The prime minister is responsible for the entire government and must have people to whom they have full trust - she continued.

- What the prime minister will do, I don't know. But Polska 2050, PSL, KO, and Lewica signed a coalition agreement, a very precise coalition agreement. If the prime minister and others conclude that a new coalition agreement needs to be drafted, then we can consider various positions - she indicated.

- I do not believe that the politicians who signed this agreement did not know what was in it and were not in agreement. [...] Let's take what we agree on seriously. If the leaders of the coalition parties come to the conclusion that this agreement needs to be changed, then let them sit down at the table and change it. For now, this agreement is in effect - she emphasized.

"I am in favour of internal discussion, I am against discussing these matters in the media, I believe it is a big mistake by these colleagues who allow themselves to be drawn by journalists into this kind of gossip, because it does not serve us well" - said Adam Bielan on Radio Plus, when asked if he had a favourite candidate from PiS for Prime Minister and about the internal discussion on this topic.

"We will discuss this within the authorities of Law and Justice at the appropriate time, when parliamentary elections approach" - he continued.

"I would very much like it, because he was an excellent Prime Minister, although for a rather short time [...] unfortunately, President Kaczyński, both publicly and within the party, decided some time ago that he does not aspire to this position" - he went on to say, when asked if Jarosław Kaczyński should become Prime Minister again.

- Tusk, although he claimed this pact would not apply in Poland, and had previously stated he would block it, did not challenge the treaty, meaning the pact, on the adoption of the migration pact, to the Court of Justice of the European Union, which could have reviewed it - Adam Bielan said in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on the program "Sedno Sprawy" on Radio Plus.

- Tusk was clearly repaying a political debt to those European bureaucrats, European politicians, who enabled him to return to that position in Poland - he continued.

- I cannot imagine Prime Minister Tusk having any significant support among Polish society in 2 years. After these 2 years of governing, and another 2, it will simply be a failure and there will likely be no good outcome for Prime Minister Tusk, so there's nothing to discuss - stated Anna Bryłka on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- Our primary enemy is the current government, and that is what we should be focusing on. I am surprised that PiS is attacking us, rather than attacking Prime Minister Tusk. I fear that Prime Minister Tusk is currently jealous of Sławomir Mentzen - he continued.

- I haven't [started packing my things in the Senate Speaker's office] yet. Until the end of this first part, until November 13th, in accordance with the coalition agreement. And I am an advocate and I believe that if one makes an agreement, the agreements must be kept - said Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska in "Gość Radia ZET".

When asked by Marcin Zaborski when she would submit her resignation, in accordance with the coalition agreement, she replied: - Exactly on the day when this time expires, I will find out from my colleagues, from the head of my party, what the further course of events will be.

- The coalition agreement states that in the Senate, Civic Coalition can make a change of Speaker. Civic Coalition - she indicated.

When asked if Civic Coalition could nominate her, she stated: - It can. Or it can nominate any of the senators, if it decides so.

- Of course, I do [want to be Speaker for another 2 years], because we have started many interesting things in the Senate. The Senate had to change its work, because now we operate under slightly different conditions than in the previous term, when Marshal Grodzki was the Speaker. We have started again a very important task of supporting and cooperating with Poles abroad. We have initiated many social consultations - Kidawa-Błońska continued.

- Donald Tusk said that I should be a good Speaker and do my job to the best of my ability. The agreement was for 2 [years], and what will happen next - we will see - she stated.

When asked who she sees in her place for the second half of the term, she replied: - For now, I see myself in this role.

- I am not going [to Saturday's PiS demonstration]. This is primarily because PiS lacks any credibility on the issues they are now raising. Regarding the Migration Pact, I will remind you that it was under the PiS government that we had the highest number of initial residence permits issued. It was also under the PiS government that agreement was reached to open the common market for the import of agri-food products from Ukraine. PiS has no credibility on these matters, so I am not going - stated Anna Bryłka in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- I don't think the prosecution should pay so much attention to those few words spoken by the Marshal. All the more so because Mr. Hołownia's career is ending very quickly - stated Anna Bryłka on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

- It seems to me that the Marshal's [Szymon Hołownia's statement about a coup d'état] statement had a journalistic character and did not have such a real dimension - stated Anna Bryłka in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- Perhaps the Marshal simply wanted to emphasize a certain situation that took place at the time, namely the swearing-in of Karol Nawrocki as president, where the Marshal admitted he was persuaded to halt the procedure - he continued.

- It is good that the president was sworn in. In my opinion, it was a journalistic expression by the Marshal, who comes from an environment where it is very easy... Exactly [to exaggerate] - she emphasized.

- We cannot really limit spending, because what can we cut? Certainly not spending on social purposes, they are simply extremely necessary. Here, we must strongly debate with Sławomir Mentzen on this matter, who has such a simple recipe: let's save at the expense of the poorest, let's take away the 13th and 14th pension. We cannot do that - said Jacek Sasin on Radio Republika.

- We are in some kind of crazy spiral right now that public finances have fallen into. Where are we? We don't really have the ability to cut spending; we mostly have fixed expenditures, and I want to emphasize that this government has already led to 90 billion in this budget, meaning 10% of all expenditures, being solely the cost of servicing debt. This is already dragging us down, and it will continue to grow in the coming years - said Jacek Sasin on Radio Republika.

- Even the Venice Commission stated that there are no 'neo-judges', that judges appointed by the President are judges, even if in the perception of these individuals there were some procedural shortcomings, so there are absolutely no grounds to apply such segregation, which Minister Żurek is proposing - Jacek Sasin said on Radio Republika.

- With Minister Żurek, the problem runs deeper than just the project you mentioned, which was indeed criticized, thoroughly scrutinized by the Government Legislation Centre, because any reasonably honest lawyer must be aghast at what Minister Żurek proposes. He has effectively nullified law in Poland, the hierarchy of law, and constitutional provisions, which are the source of law in Poland - Jacek Sasin said on Radio Republika.

- The Minister of Justice, from the outset, and I recall that when he became minister, he declared that laws de facto do not apply in Poland. Only those laws apply which align with his sense of the rule of law - Sasin continued.
