Czarnek:

The Lithuanian Prime Minister Saw How Polish Society Treats a Prime Minister Who Has Been Destroying Poland for 2 Years

- "You were never and will never be a fan of the Polish national team" and other similar chants were indeed clearly heard by the Prime Minister, and rightly so, they reached his ears, and Mr. Szłapka's ears - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Republika.

- It's difficult not to have confusion, but at least the Prime Minister of Lithuania saw how Polish society treats a Prime Minister who has been destroying Poland, including Polish sport, for 2 years. It wasn't primarily about sport, but about the entirety of what has been happening over the past less than 2 years solely under Tusk's government, which we also spoke about at our demonstration on Saturday - he continued.


07:39

Czarnek:

Let Tusk Not Lie That the Migration Pact Does Not Apply to Us

- We are not exempt from the migration pact, signed by the Tusk government on the 6th or 7th day of its functioning, in December, just before Christmas 2023. They signed this migration pact, and as Professor Krasnodębski, a specialist in the subject, explained, there is no way for Tusk to free himself from this pact. Secondly, from the beginning, we have been saying, opposing the migration pact altogether, that we are under constant migratory pressure due to the war in the East - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Republika.

- The fact that there is this loophole in the migration pact itself, that migratory pressure can cause an exemption from mandatory relocation, for example, next year - that is possible. If that were to happen, then that's very good, but let Tusk not lie that the migration pact does not apply to us. It does apply to us because Tusk signed it - he emphasized.


07:42

Czarnek on Kaczyński's Words:

The Chairman Took Pity on Me

- Prime Minister Kaczyński did not say that I would be prime minister after Donald Tusk. He said that there was also me, who had not been prime minister, because all the prime ministers appeared on stage, from Prime Minister Kaczyński, through Deputy Prime Minister Błaszczak, Prime Minister Morawiecki, Prime Minister Szydło above all, and me, poor thing, without any ministerial portfolio, so the Chairman took pity on me and stated that perhaps I would be prime minister in the future - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Republika.


07:47

Czarnek:

Even within the December 13th coalition, there's no agreement on Żurek's madness and insanity

- The theses are being put forward directly, publicly. Even within the December 13th coalition, there's no agreement on Żurek's madness and insanity, so I think this is temporary - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Republika.


07:51

Czarnek:

The EU is heading towards self-destruction

- This is further proof that the EU is absolutely heading towards self-destruction. It will be long and painful, nobody wants it, but it is heading towards self-destruction because if it is not able to function normally, based on the principles that have governed the EU since its inception, but instead introduces the possibility of blackmailing EU countries simply because they do not have a left-wing government, then we are truly dealing with a catastrophe for the EU, and these blackmailers must again be removed from power. The road to this is not short or simple, but it is possible - stated Przemysław Czarnek on Radio Republika.


08:04

Kotula on Partnership Unions:

Only I and MP Pasławska from PSL Know the Text of the Bill.

- A lot of lies, misrepresentations, and manipulations have appeared in the media regarding this bill [on partnership unions]. And I will honestly admit to you that only I and MP Urszula Pasławska know the text of the bill. That is the truth and these are the facts, because the political leaders discussed political decisions. Włodzimierz Czarzasty and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz met at the beginning of August, and such a decision was made, even during this very quiet, holiday period - said Katarzyna Kotula in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News’s “Graffiti.”


08:09

Sasin on the Migration Pact: We have no guarantee that next year there won't be a return to forcing illegal migrants on us

- There is no such thing as Poland not being forced to accept migrants. Let's face the truth on this matter. The Migration Pact is a mechanism that, after adoption – and it was adopted because Donald Tusk, his team, and his government agreed to it, and deputies from the ruling party voted for it. We were blocking it, we were rejecting it. This blockade was lifted the moment Donald Tusk took power in Poland - said Jacek Sasin in "Gość Poranka" on TVP Info.

- This Migration Pact applies to all countries, and there is no mechanism written into it that would allow anyone to be excluded from this mechanism. It might be the case that a country, for a certain period – and these are annual intervals if we are talking about some exemption – is exempt for a year, which means we have no guarantee that next year there won't be a return to an attempt to force an unlimited number of illegal migrants upon us - Jacek Sasin continued.


08:15

Sasin on Nawrocki's Letter: I Think it Could Have Been the Cherry on Top, That This Decision is Postponed for at Least a Year

- Even a year is good. Of course, it is good for Poland if this mechanism is postponed for a year, because time is on our side. We can see that a rebellion is growing in Europe against submitting to the German dictate, because in fact it is a German dictate. It is in fact Germany that is interested in pushing through these migrants that Angela Merkel brought in - said Jacek Sasin in "Gość Poranka" on TVP Info.

- Of course, European decision-makers must take into account the voice of the Polish President, who has a fresh democratic mandate, has very high support in Poland today, his letter to von der Leyen must have indeed made an impression. I think it could have been the cherry on top that could have decided that this decision is postponed for at least a year - Jacek Sasin continued.


08:16

Sasin:

The West Will Move Heaven and Earth to Keep Tusk in Power

- This is an attempt to deceive Poles today who do not want illegal migration, do not want agreement on the Migration Pact, do not want migrants forced upon us. To show that Tusk has achieved something, that this narrative of us being exempt from the Migration Pact will be hammered into Poles' heads, which is obviously meant to save Tusk from his disastrous approval ratings, from the electoral defeat that hangs over him today. The West will do everything, one could say they will move heaven and earth, European institutions, European decision-makers, to keep Tusk in power - said Jacek Sasin in "Gość Poranka" on TVP Info.


08:23

Kotula on Partnership Unions:

There Are No Ceremonies Before the Civil Registry Office in the Draft. It Won't Be a Blow to Honor.

- In the final version of the government draft [on partnership unions], because it has passed two readings at the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers, I openly stated that there is no [before the Civil Registry Office] ceremony there - said Katarzyna Kotula in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

- Of course, no one will prohibit private individuals from organizing ceremonies: whether it will be a celebratory dinner for 10 people, or a large, wedding-style party for 20. People can organize such lavish ceremonies for various reasons. And that will be a private matter - she stated.

As she assessed: - It seems that it will not be a blow to honor if such a solution is not included in the final version of the draft.


08:24

Sasin:

The Less Than Two Years of Tusk's Government Have Opened the Door to Disastrous Projects We Blocked for 8 Years

- This short period of time, a dozen or so months, less than two years of Donald Tusk's government, is precisely the opening of the door to all those disastrous projects that we effectively blocked for 8 years, and which Tusk immediately accepted, saying he was against them. One must have some kind of political schizophrenia to say on the one hand that he is against something, to lie to Poles, but to agree to everything - said Jacek Sasin in "Gość Poranka" on TVP Info.


08:29

Government's Success on the Migration Pact? Szczucki: Absolutely Not, Nothing is Known Yet, There Are Only Announcements

- Absolutely not achieved - Krzysztof Szczucki stated in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Radia Zet," when asked if the government had achieved success regarding the migration pact.

- Nothing is known yet, these are just certain announcements that Poland might be exempted from the relocation obligation, the financial contribution obligation [...] there is no document - he continued.

- It will be a success if Poland is excluded from this pact, and as President Kaczyński said [...] we shouldn't be too happy about it then either, because it will be a temporary exclusion - he went on to say.


08:30

Kotula on the Bill on Civil Partnerships:

The Issue of the Name is Secondary.

- The issue of the name is entirely secondary. There are people, Robert Biedroń spoke about this recently in the media, who have been waiting their whole lives for someone to simply open a window. I also disagree with the idea that this will cement the system for years to come, because at some stage, a CJEU ruling will surely come, which will probably speak about recognizing marriages, but that is still a path of many years - said Katarzyna Kotula in "Graffiti" Polsat News.


08:35

Kotula on Partnership Unions:

There is Nothing in This Act That Concerns Children.

- There is nothing in this act [concerning partnership unions] that concerns children. My team, with lawyers who have been dealing with this topic for years, proposed so-called day-to-day custody, minor custody - said Katarzyna Kotula in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

- I think – and this will be my suggestion – I will officially ask Minister Żurek – and I have sent such a signal to the Ministry of Justice – to also, in cooperation with the codification commission of the Family and Guardianship Code, make changes to the code that will allow these issues to be regulated within marriages - she indicated.


08:35

Szczucki:

I Don't Understand Mentzen. He Should Decide if He's With Tusk or Against Tusk

- I don't understand MP Sławomir Mentzen. Either he truly wants, as he claims, to remove Donald Tusk from power, which he can only do in cooperation with the largest opposition party, the leader of the opposition in the polls, i.e., Law and Justice, or he wants to keep Tusk in power by criticizing Law and Justice and using completely unfounded arguments for this purpose - Krzysztof Szczucki said on Radio Zet, when asked about the accusation of hypocrisy regarding migration leveled against PiS by Sławomir Mentzen.

- Let Sławomir Mentzen decide if he is with Tusk or against Tusk - he continued.


08:39

Kotula on Nawrocki's Role Regarding the Partnership Act:

Unfortunately, the Liberals Lost the Election.

- The fact is that the liberals also unfortunately lost the election in June, and in this new reality, everyone forgets that Karol Nawrocki will be in the Presidential Palace not until 2027, but for the next 5 years. This means we are essentially facing a long period where, even if we win the election in 2027, we will have to find solutions that can be presented to Mr. President, and when designing these solutions, we will consider the possibility of a presidential signature - said Katarzyna Kotula in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- I do not hide the fact that this is important to me. I am not interested in just talking empty talk for another 20 years about the law that circles have been fighting for for 20 years, the social side, and people genuinely interested in it - she continued.


08:42

Szczucki on a Right-Wing Senate Pact Under Presidential Patronage:

A Very Good Idea.

- I would like us to have a majority in the Senate, and current polling shows that a right-wing pact, meaning Konfederacja together with Law and Justice, could achieve such a majority. However, if Sławomir Mentzen continues to fuel this spiral of hatred towards Law and Justice and towards Jarosław Kaczyński, it may be difficult to talk later, in a straightforward, human way – Krzysztof Szczucki said on Radio Zet.

- Sławomir Mentzen, who has completely denigrated President Jarosław Kaczyński, is clearly doing so – he continued, when asked whether it was Mentzen or President Kaczyński who was "fueling" the situation.

- I appeal to MP Mentzen: some calm, because if we want to cooperate in the future, if a Senate pact is to have any chance of existence, then such discussions or this kind of narrative is truly not needed by anyone – he went on to say.

- I believe it is a very good idea, because the Presidential Palace and the President are, by force of circumstance, outside the current political dispute. But here, one needs to ask the President directly if he sees himself in this role – he added, when asked if President Duda as the patron of the pact was a good idea.


08:43

"A Halfway Point Between My Proposal and the PSL’s": Kotula on the Partnership Unions Bill

- The most important thing for me is that the issue of legal protection for people in unions, or the status of a close person in unions, is included. So, this is a halfway point between what I proposed and what the PSL proposed – said Katarzyna Kotula on Polsat News’ “Graffiti.”

- The issue of the name largely depends on what the Government Legislation Centre agrees to. Although I won't hide that there were proposals from my side that were accepted by the PSL. One of the proposed names was “cohabitation agreement.” I cannot say if it was accepted or if we are sticking with it, because you will learn the details this week – she revealed.


08:48

Kotula:

The Registered Partnership Bill Includes Over 20 Rights and Protections

- The last country to introduce registered partnerships was Latvia. In their Latvian project, there are notaries and only four basic rights. There isn't even inheritance. These rights, protections, mainly also social ones, insurance issues – and I can reveal this to you – there are over 20, actually 21. Many of my original ideas from the first version of the government draft remain there – Katarzyna Kotula said on Polsat News's "Graffiti".


08:56

Szczucki Lists PiS Government's Mistakes Regarding the Judiciary:

Not All Reforms in Our Time Were Successful.

"I believe that not all reforms of the judiciary in our time were, to put it mildly, successful," Krzysztof Szczucki said on Radio Zet.

"Some say 'hindsight is always 20/20,' meaning we see certain flaws or fundamental defects of various solutions after some time," he continued.

"I believe that indeed, the selection of judges to the Constitutional Tribunal should have been invalidated for two, not five judges [...] I will not admit [that PiS led to the loss of the Constitutional Tribunal's credibility] because this process was initiated by Civic Platform, by selecting judges in advance, that is the key problem," he elaborated when asked about PiS's biggest mistakes concerning the judiciary.

"The issue of publishing rulings. I believe that what Donald Tusk is doing today is scandalous, because he is breaking the Constitution, he is breaking the law [by not publishing Constitutional Tribunal rulings], but he is looking for justification [in the actions of Beata Szydło during the PiS government]. Of course, there were other reasons, a different context, different grounds, but it is an easy explanation for Donald Tusk, an incorrect one, but in the eyes of public opinion, it may seem credible," he added.

"I believe it was a mistake," he stressed, when asked if what Beata Szydło did was a mistake.


09:01

Morawiecki Publishes Video About Polish Deal Investments:

See What Hypocrites KO MPs Are

- I’m taking you to the peak of Civic Platform's hypocrisy. You are probably familiar with the Polish Deal Strategic Investment Program. Yes, this is the one under which local governments, from the smallest Polish gminas to large cities, carried out investments worth tens of billions of zlotys. This is the program that was so fiercely criticized and ridiculed by PO politicians. Until finally, they abolished it - says the narrator in the recording.

- And what is happening now? They are boasting about investments that were created thanks to this program. Here you go, this is Witold Zembaczyński, the one with eight stars, praising the city stadium in Prudnik, and here MEP Marta Wcisło is cutting the ribbon at the opening of a new bridge financed under the government’s road development fund. And here Mr. Rutnicki tried to sneakily claim an investment, but internet users quickly verified him. There are many examples of hypocrisy, but that's good, it's a sign that the government's Polish Deal Fund was a successful program - the narrator continues, and the recording shows pictures of PO politicians against the backdrop of the investments discussed.


09:03

Kotula on the Subject of Civil Partnerships:

The President Himself is an Example of a Blended Family.

- The president himself is an example of such a blended family. […] Many heterosexual couples, in my opinion, will also benefit from this solution [regarding civil partnerships], and the PSL knows this as well. We hope that the president will be able to sign this law protecting the legal rights of these individuals in various types of unions, with different statuses - said Katarzyna Kotula on Polsat News's “Graffiti.”


09:08

Kotula Declares Readiness to Talk with President Nawrocki and the First Lady:

The Law Will Not Equalize Partnership Unions with Marriages.

"This will be such a law. I hope the President will sign it. Both PSL and I are ready to talk with the President," said Katarzyna Kotula on "Graffiti" Polsat News, responding to a remark that the President had declared he would be willing to sign a law that would not equate partnership unions with marriages.

"I am informally sending such signals towards the Presidential Palace. Of course, we meet the President's ministers in the corridors. I spoke with one of the ministers, signaling that I would be ready for such a meeting," she indicated.

"I think we can also do this together with PSL, perhaps together with MP Urszula Pasławska. Perhaps the First Lady will also want to meet with us," she stated.


09:17

The Constitution Orders Judges to Boycott an Incompatible Regulation, Says Szczucki on Żurek's Proposals

- This is an illegal regulation [of the Minister of Justice] concerning the change in how judges are selected for panels, illegal because it is inconsistent with the law - Krzysztof Szczucki stated on Radio Zet.

- It will be in effect, but judges, in accordance with the Constitution, are subject to the Constitution and laws, so in reality, they should not adhere to this regulation, which is directly inconsistent with the law - he continued.

- I call upon Polish judges to uphold the Constitution and the mandates flowing from it, and this same Constitution actually orders them to boycott a regulation that is inconsistent with it - he added, when asked if he was calling on Polish judges to boycott the minister's regulations.


10:11

Kuźmiuk on the Proposals of Governing Coalition Groups:

Essentially, None of These Promises Have Been Fulfilled.

"The declarations, as you know, were enormous; there was the '100 Concrete Actions' program, there were 12 proposals from Third Way, and finally, as many as 155, if I remember correctly, programmatic proposals from the Left. Two years have passed, and as you know perfectly well, the fulfillment of these election promises is essentially nonexistent," said Zbigniew Kuźmiuk at a press conference.


10:17

Mucha:

We Should Present People with a Vision Entirely Opposite to What Populists Proposed

- I also thought it would be a premiership more grounded in the challenges of the future, and I truly believe that is very significant and important. However, it is more focused on fighting populism, which is extremely crucial - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Plus.

- The problem, in my opinion, is that a fight against populism that consists of constantly talking about that populism only ties us to the bad things we dealt with over these 8 years, instead of leading us out of this 8-year dark period. So, I feel we should present people with a vision entirely opposite to what the populists proposed, and they proposed a state that retreats - she continued.


10:18

Mucha:

Old Politics Prevents State-Owned Companies from Being Staffed by the Best Professionals

- I have the impression that unfortunately, the old politics, as it pertains to State-Owned Companies (SSPs), is incapable of even contemplating or allowing these companies to be staffed by individuals selected through merit-based competitions, those with the best qualifications and who are in no way connected to politics - stated Joanna Mucha in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus.

- Because SSPs should be managed in the most efficient way possible, and in a manner that avoids creating parasitic growths within these companies, growths that have been forming for years and continue to do so – growths consisting of political appointees who must secure employment. This is detrimental, inefficient, and leads to inefficiency within these companies, which in turn represents our shared assets - she continued.


10:20

Kuźmiuk:

These are already three budgets of this coalition, all with gigantic deficits

- These are already three budgets of this coalition, all with gigantic deficits. In 2024, the executed budget had a deficit of 211 billion, this year's is 289 billion and will most likely be executed at that level, and finally, the submission for next year is 271 billion. The budget deficits alone amount to 770 billion, sums that are simply unimaginable - said Zbigniew Kuźmiuk at a press conference.

- Since this coalition also borrows outside the budget and spends public money, the total public debt over these three years amounts to a colossal sum of 1.1 trillion Polish złoty. If this government lasts through the entire year '26, this coalition will indebt us - he continued.


10:23

Bogucki:

Tusk is Deceiving and Lying About Being an Opponent of the Migration Pact

- [Tusk] is deceiving and lying, because it must be clearly stated that he is an opponent of the migration pact, but he is not suing it. Moreover, in the meantime, last year, an implementation package for the migration pact was being processed in one of the committees, meaning how to verify the migration pact faster - said Zbigniew Bogucki in "Płużański Kontra" on wPolsce24.


10:23

Bogucki on the Migration Pact: If We Don't Denounce It, Illegal Migrants Will Be Moved to Poland

- This, of course, complements the statement where Donald Tusk says he won't, but he doesn't say when he won't, that it will be for a year. Today, we don't know any provisions, we don't know any specifics, we don't know if it will be a year, two, or less. The fact is, the migration pact, if we don't firmly denounce it, and this is what the president spoke about in his campaign and what President Nawrocki mentioned in his letter, will be binding. This is a great lie, and illegal migrants will be moved to Poland, the question is in what numbers and when, and possibly we will have to pay for it - said Zbigniew Bogucki in "Płużański Kontra" on wPolsce24.


10:26

Bogucki on the Migration Pact: Perhaps to Avoid Exposing Tusk, They Will Try to Obscure Things Until the Elections

- Ms. Ursula von der Leyen clearly stated that the migration pact is a priority for 2026 and she is pursuing this priority. Perhaps as part of some political maneuvering, to avoid completely exposing Donald Tusk, they will try to obscure things for half a year, maybe a year, maybe two, until the parliamentary elections - said Zbigniew Bogucki in the program „Płużański Kontra” on Pols24.


10:28

Bogucki on the Bill Presented by Żurek:

An Open Act of Lawlessness.

- Minister Żurek, by calling the act he produced, the act he committed, a "rule of law bill," is consciously trying to obscure reality, because we are dealing with such an open act of lawlessness - said Zbigniew Bogucki in "Płużański Kontra" on wPolsce24.


10:31

Kuźmiuk on the Lack of a 60,000 PLN Tax-Free Allowance:

Electoral Fraud, an Attack on Democracy.

- This coalition is, one might say, ashamed of its flagship electoral commitments. I am referring here to the proposal of a 60,000 PLN tax-free allowance - said Zbigniew Kuźmiuk at a press conference.

- Prime Minister Tusk spoke about this numerous times, and indeed, the man who governs in this building, Mr. Minister Domański, recorded an election spot with other Civic Platform politicians, in which he informed that if this amount came into effect, pensions up to 5,000 PLN and salaries up to 6,000 PLN would be exempt from income tax - he continued.

- This man has been governing for two years and has obviously failed to fulfill this electoral promise [...] what's more, in the autumn of '24, he sent a document to Brussels, a budgetary-structural plan, in which he committed that Poland, up to and including the year 2028, would neither increase the tax-free allowance nor even revalue the tax brackets - he went on to say.

- This is a classic electoral fraud, making an electoral promise with the intention of not fulfilling it. This is, one can boldly say, an attack on democracy, because if a political party makes electoral declarations, knowing that it will never fulfill this promise, it is simply deceiving the voters - he added.


10:48

Cenckiewicz on Ziemiec’s Show:

Services Don’t Rule and Haven’t Ruled Poland, but They Influence Reality Periodically

- Services don’t rule the world. Services don’t rule and haven’t ruled Poland, but services influence reality periodically. If you were to ask me in this interview about the matter of my clearance, I’m clashing with the services, and if I were to look at the special services and their role through that prism, I would say: well, no, this very situation, in which the head of the office, Cenckiewicz, is essentially excluded from full official activity and in that sense paralyzed by special services that constantly terrorize, no longer even communicate that Cenckiewicz does not have access, despite the court ruling that restores his access to classified information, one might think: here is proof that the services rule Poland, because they have effectively excluded a person, so to speak, from the bloodstream of information dissemination, etc., etc. - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz in a conversation with Krzysztof Ziemiec on the Otwarta Konserwa channel.

- But that is an illusion, because this segment, which is significant, important, and calculated to paralyze the functioning of the presidential office and the National Security Bureau, is only a segment or a slice, because this matter can be circumvented; there are deputies, there is the president, there are several people who can demand precisely the information that is not intended for Sławomir Cenckiewicz - the head of the BBN continued.

- But is this proof that the services rule Poland? In my opinion, no. We need to understand the proportions - he emphasized.


10:51

Cenckiewicz:

It was in Poland's interest to damage or destroy an element of the Russian Federation's war machine

- Of course not [Poland should not extradite Volodymyr Z.]. Because it was in Poland's interest to damage or destroy an element of the Russian Federation's war machine. This has happened. And even this Sikorski, who in his foolish post was so enthusiastic about it, in a way reflected the sentiments that accompanied all of this - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on the Otwarta Konserwa channel.


10:59

Kowalski:

Domański Will Face the State Tribunal, Won't Find Work Even in a Greengrocer's in Two Years

- Andrzej Domański won't find work even in a greengrocer's in two years [...] he's not even implementing the Greek scenario, but it will be the Polish scenario - Janusz Kowalski said at a press conference.

- Andrzej Domański, who will face the State Tribunal not only for illegally taking money from Law and Justice, breaking the law, but for all those decisions he made here for Donald Tusk, leading to the catastrophe of public finances - he continued.


11:09

Cenckiewicz on Kosiniak-Kamysz:

In Broad Strokes, He Continues Everything Błaszczak Did.

- Despite all my criticism of this government, even concerning the political-ideological background, but in a sense strategic, which I am discussing here, Kosiniak-Kamysz, in broad strokes, in terms of the directions of modernization of the Polish army, continues everything that Błaszczak did - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on the Otwarta Konserwa channel.


11:12

Cenckiewicz:

Poland Needs Consolidation

- If these destructive people do not come to their senses, the end will be like September 1 and 17, 1939. Truly, Poland needs consolidation. Poland does not need a government of national unity, because that is a delusion in a democracy; that's what democracy is for, to have tensions regulated by normal parliamentary struggle. But Poland simply cannot function on the principle that the Prime Minister says the President of the Constitutional Tribunal is not the president and will zero out his budget - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on the Otwarta Konserwa channel.


11:26

Cenckiewicz:

There are no indications that there will be peace in Ukraine

- There are no indications that suggest peace [in Ukraine]. Well, one can try [Donald Trump], because you know, from the position of an empire, you can talk to anyone, even with someone as terrible as Putin. That's the privilege of being the leader of an empire - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on the Otwarta Konserwa channel.


12:40

Kaczyński:

Tusk's Deceptions Crumble Under Reality's Impact

"They will try to convince you that things are better, cheaper, and that promises have been fulfilled. Tusk's deceptions cannot withstand the clash with reality. Instead, they have delivered disappointment, brazen law-breaking, and two years of chaos. The wave of lies that brought them to power continues unabated... Enough is enough! Poles, it's time to open your eyes!" - wrote Jarosław Kaczyński on X.


13:24

Cieszyński:

Tusk Has Not Taken Healthcare Seriously From the Start

- From the very beginning, Donald Tusk has not taken healthcare seriously. How can one seriously consider the situation where the Minister of Health became a person who previously had nothing to do with this sector? Ms. Izabela Leszczyna, when she was in opposition, announced that she would rule with a magic wand. When she became minister, it turned out that in fact, all these announcements were not fulfilled - said Janusz Cieszyński at a press conference.


13:25

Cieszyński:

Leszczyna Left in Disgrace, Leaving Billions in Debt and Polish Patients Out in the Cold

- Ms. Leszczyna left in disgrace, she left behind billions in debt, she left behind the longest queues in history, and she left Polish patients out in the cold, and this is precisely what we, as Law and Justice, have the biggest complaints about - said Janusz Cieszyński at a press conference.


14:42

Prosecutor's Office Launches Investigation After Bąkiewicz's Words:

No PiS Dignitaries Intervened.

- Following Bąkiewicz's hateful speech at a PiS demonstration, the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has launched an investigation on suspicion of inciting the commission of a crime. No PiS dignitaries intervened. No one - wrote Marcin Kierwiński on social media.


16:12

Morawiecki Recalls His Statement from 2 Years Ago:

More Than 2 Years Ago I Said STOP to the Migration Pact!

Mateusz Morawiecki recalled his statement from 2 years ago on the X platform. In his post, he argues that he opposed the pact, while Donald Tusk agreed to it.

- It's worth recalling at the end what Civic Platform often said in this context. "Let them in" - referring to illegal migrants - "then we'll figure out who they are, or just a few weeks ago and a few days ago, two different Civic Platform MPs who said, 'well yes, we'll have to accept a few thousand immigrants, we'll have to submit to European actions'. That's who they are. Here in Brussels, Tusk's party has already submitted to Weber, submitted to Brussels bureaucrats, and agreed to illegal immigration. We vetoed it - says Mateusz Morawiecki in the attached recording.


16:32

"I have a weakness for this slogan - every time they chant it, I win elections." Tusk on the shouts "Donald, you idiot..."

"The PiS supporters are asking if I translated all the chants from the stands for the Lithuanian Prime Minister. 'Donald, you idiot...' I did translate. I have a weakness for this slogan - every time they chant it, I win elections. I did not translate the slogans: 'get rid of the whores,' 'f*** Israel,' 'the police will be f***ed up,' etc." - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X.

Szrot:

Bąkiewicz Uses His Own Language, Sharp but Adequate to the Threats

- Robert Bąkiewicz uses his own language, his rhetoric, his style. I, probably, if I had to speak on the same topics, would look for different, though also decisive and sharp words. However, if anyone expected that in response to this entire attack concentrated on him, Robert Bąkiewicz would not retaliate in kind, well, I think they don't know... - said Paweł Szrot in "Conversation of the Day" on PR1.

- Robert Bąkiewicz uses his own language, which is sharp but adequate to all the situations and threats we see in public life when it comes to border defense - he stated.


17:12

Szrot:

It's a tradition of hypocrisy that those who used the verb 'f...' against us are most outraged by alleged hate speech

- It's a tradition of hypocrisy in Poland that those who used the verb starting with the sound 'j' and ending with the sound 'ć' against us are most outraged by alleged hate speech. So, I'll let it slide - said Paweł Szrot in 'Conversation of the Day' on PR1.

- I absolutely share Robert Bąkiewicz's opinion that Poland, in terms of oversight of the judiciary – because he was talking about courts and the prosecution – is currently a country of lawlessness, and radical solutions are needed for all this lawlessness and rights violations. I would look for different words, but I would look for equally sharp and decisive words - he continued.


17:17

Szrot on Bąkiewicz's Words:

I Don't Share the Logic That If Someone Says Something Stronger, They Immediately Become Hitler.

- This is a universal argument that whoever says something stronger immediately becomes Adolf Hitler - Paweł Szrot stated in "Rozmowa dnia" (Conversation of the Day) on PR1, when asked if he saw an analogy between Robert Bąkiewicz's words and the 1930s.

Responding to the remark that KO politicians speak of a dehumanizing element, of denying the other side the right to exist, he replied: - I do not share this logic, I do not understand this logic. I also believe that KO politicians were looking for any pretext to latch onto anything. They found Robert Bąkiewicz's statement. It's a stretch, but I understand they found nothing else.


17:39

Szrot on Kaczyński's Words Regarding Czarnek:

I Stood in the Crowd and Listened to My Comrades"Reactions.

- I do not believe that the statement by President Kaczyński allows for such a firm interpretation of this announcement [that Przemysław Czarnek has been designated as Prime Minister] - said Paweł Szrot in "Conversation of the Day" on PR1.

- I stood in the crowd then and listened to the reactions of my comrades at that rally, perhaps a little surprised, but also full of hope and satisfaction. I greatly respect Przemysław Czarnek - he stated.


17:48

Szrot:

President Kaczyński Believes Healthy, Natural Competition Among His Closest Aides Serves the Party and Poland's Interests

- It has been known for many years that the President [Jarosław Kaczyński] believes that healthy, natural competition among his closest collaborators is something that can serve both the party and Poland's interests - said Paweł Szrot in the "Conversation of the Day" on PR1, when asked about the rivalry between Mateusz Morawiecki's camp and Przemysław Czarnek's camp.

- This is not some Machiavellian policy. It is a management method that has already been used in the most democratic systems and political parties. I understand this and see nothing inappropriate here - he continued.


18:08

Kukiz on Poland's Exemption from Accepting Migrants:

Like Doubting Thomas, Until I See Legislation, I Won't Believe It.

- I'm a bit like Doubting Thomas; until I see legislation that absolutely exempts Poland from the necessity of participating in this relocation of immigrants, on paper in the form of some regulation, ordinance, or some EU legislation, I simply won't believe it - said Paweł Kukiz on the program "Ewa Bugała. Wszystko Jasne" on TV Republika.


18:09

Kukiz:

This is Nothing More Than Delaying the Decision to Accept Directives

- The Prime Minister could issue such a statement today. Of course, pressure was needed, and the President's letter to Ursula von der Leyen, and the demonstration, were necessary to force certain statements from him, but this is nothing more than delaying the decision to accept these directives - said Paweł Kukiz in the program "Ewa Bugała. Everything Clear" on TV Republika.


18:09

Kukiz on Tusk: 'I've been watching the Prime Minister for decades. Whatever he says, he says it. Tomorrow he might say something else.'

- I have been observing the Prime Minister for such a long time, practically for decades, that whatever he says, he says it. Tomorrow he might say something completely different, and I absolutely do not approach this with any faith or any certainty, with any 'hooray, we succeeded, pressure does make sense.' Tomorrow he might change his mind, the weather might change, or anything else might change. That's just how he is, that's his make-up, that's the kind of person he is - said Paweł Kukiz in the program “Ewa Bugała. Wszystko Jasne” on TV Republika.


18:10

Kukiz:

To Establish a Senate Pact to Resolve the Issue of Forced Relocation

- The first fundamental matter, so that we can resolve this issue of forced relocation once and for all, the first fundamental matter is to create a Senate pact and for the Senate to support the President in calling a referendum - said Paweł Kukiz in the program "Ewa Bugała. Wszystko Jasne" on TV Republika.


18:17

Kukiz:

The 'Closest Person' Status Should Be Introduced, But I Won't Support a Project Where Civil Unions Are Treated as Family

- I absolutely believe that the status of a 'closest person' should be introduced; I encouraged President Duda on this matter earlier as well - said Paweł Kukiz in the program "Ewa Bugała. Wszystko Jasne" on TV Republika. 

- No [I will not support this project] because in this project, when I saw the provision that a civil union is, there's such a phrasing, is considered family. I do not consider a civil union to be a family. For me, family – perhaps I am old-fashioned and outdated – but for me, family is a union of a woman and a man, also with the intention of having offspring, and that's it - Paweł Kukiz continued.

- I think I even saw this project or some outline of a project once, I don't remember if it was from the Presidential Chancellery or from PSL; in that case, I wouldn't have a problem supporting it, but I will not support a project where a civil union is treated as family - Paweł Kukiz continued.


18:41

Mucha:

Tusk Won't Be Able to Lead Civic Coalition to Victory in 2027

- I believe that the Prime Minister [Donald Tusk] will not be able to lead Civic Platform or Civic Coalition to a victorious election in 2027. This is my conviction today, it may change, we still have two years, but today I have this conviction - said Joanna Mucha in an interview with Grzegorz Sroczyński on RMF FM.


18:46

Mucha:

The Government Should Be Led by Someone Who Has a Chance to Win in 2027

- I believe that the government should be led by someone who will have a chance to win in 2027 - Joanna Mucha stated in the "Afternoon Conversation" on RMF FM.

- Besides the fact that I have already expressed my opinion, which is what it is, and that is already inelegant, if I were to suggest to our coalition partners who they should nominate, that would truly be completely out of place - she emphasized.


18:58

Mucha Asked About Running for Leader of Poland 2050:

I’m Gathering Resources.

- You're prematurely burying us - Joanna Mucha said in the "Afternoon Conversation" on RMF FM.

When asked if she would run for the leadership of Poland 2050, she replied: - It's also premature for me to announce such a decision, but I am working to gather all the resources to truly lead the party. Because if I want to run, it's to win this election.

- The elections are in January, there is still some time. I need to have a few processes finalized, which I am currently working on, so that I can run responsibly - she added.


19:45

Mentzen:

I don't believe Tusk will agree to appoint Pełczyńska-Nałęcz as Deputy Prime Minister before the Sejm Marshal changes

- I don't think anything will change regarding Donald Tusk's decision, meaning I don't believe he will agree to appoint Ms. Pełczyńska-Nałęcz as Deputy Prime Minister before... - Sławomir Mentzen said in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, when asked if the Sejm Marshal will continue to be him, or if something will change in Szymon Hołownia's decision.

- It would be a sign of weakness, I would be surprised if Tusk agreed to let Pełczyńska, along with the already departing from politics Hołownia, blackmail him like this on their way out - he continued, when asked why.

- Besides, if he doesn't agree to it, he will break up the Poland 2050 club, which is divided roughly in half; half want to be a loyal part of the coalition, half do not. So, knowing Donald Tusk's politics, I bet he won't agree to it - he went on to say.

- He [Szymon Hołownia] announced that he will resign if Pełczyńska-Nałęcz becomes Deputy Prime Minister by then, which I don't expect. However, Czarzasty's vote is possible regardless of whether Hołownia resigns or not. And here I bet that the Poland 2050 club will split in some proportions; if Czarzasty passes, it will be by a very small majority of votes - he added.


19:56

Mentzen on the Vote for the Sejm Marshal:

I Definitely Prefer Hołownia to Czarzasty.

- Of course, against. Against appointing Włodzimierz Czarzasty as Marshal of the Polish Sejm - Sławomir Mentzen stated in Polsat News when asked how he would vote on the matter of the Sejm Marshal.

- I definitely prefer Hołownia to Czarzasty - he continued.

- I don't know, he's not a perpetuator of people's power, for example, he wasn't in the PZPR, he's not behind the Rywin affair. Here are plenty of arguments for why someone who praises the Soviet army should not be the Marshal of the Polish Sejm - he went on to say, when asked in what way Hołownia is better than Czarzasty.


20:01

Mentzen on talks with Nawrocki:

I presented arguments for him to veto certain tax laws.

"Today" – Sławomir Mentzen said on Polsat News when asked when he last saw President Karol Nawrocki.

"Around an hour" – he continued, when asked if it was a long conversation.

- About many interesting matters, about Poland, about our future, it seems to me that it was a very good and constructive conversation, which I am very satisfied with – he went on to say, when asked what the talks were about.

"I presented, for example, arguments for President Nawrocki to veto the cryptocurrency law, which unfortunately came from the Sejm, I presented arguments for him to veto certain tax laws that the Ministry of Finance prepared to burden Polish entrepreneurs with taxes" – he added.


20:07

Mentzen After Talking with Nawrocki about a Right-Wing Senate Pact:

I'm Optimistic.

- Yes, that was also a point of our conversation. President Nawrocki perfectly understands the situation, he observes these disagreements of ours with President Kaczyński - Sławomir Mentzen told Polsat News, when asked if he had spoken with the president about him patronizing a Senate pact between Konfederacja and PiS.

- President Nawrocki understands the situation and I believe that after some time he might take on some responsibility to bring us a little closer - he continued.

- It is evident that [the president] would prefer the atmosphere on the right side of the Polish political scene to be a little more amicable, that's for sure. However, he understands both my arguments and my opinion, as well as Jarosław Kaczyński's opinion and arguments. I feel treated honestly and fairly by President Nawrocki here - he added, when asked if the president had asked him to stop criticizing Jarosław Kaczyński.

- I proposed that President Nawrocki be the host of something like this, and since he would be the host, he would set the rules, not me - he added.

- We talked about this for a long time, if things pick up speed, as the elections get a bit closer, then the president will certainly decide what to do with it. [...] Personally, I am optimistic - he emphasized, when pressed whether the president said "yes, I want to be the host.".


20:17

Mentzen:

Kaczyński Regularly Lies, Deceives, Misleads, and Insults – Nothing New

- I am accustomed to [...] President Kaczyński being extremely aggressive in his rhetoric. He regularly lies, deceives, misleads, and insults; this is absolutely nothing new - said Sławomir Mentzen on Polsat News.

- In the very same statement where he called me a misunderstanding, he accused me, as I understand it, alluding to my Asperger's syndrome, of having certain shortcomings that I should address before entering politics, and if they cannot be addressed, I should withdraw from it - he continued.

- I believe this is a very low level that Jarosław Kaczyński presents, but I am accustomed to it - he added.


20:18

President Nawrocki Summarizes His Foreign Visits So Far:

Wherever the most important decisions are made

- Every foreign visit is more than diplomacy. It is concrete actions supporting Poland's security, development, and strength. It is also strengthening alliances and defending Polish interests! - wrote President Karol Nawrocki on social media.

- Wherever the most important decisions are made. Poland must be strong, because the Polish voice matters! - emphasized the President of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN).

The President attached a clip to his post, a compilation of shots from his foreign visits to date: to the United States, Italy, the Vatican, Lithuania, Finland, Germany, France, and Estonia.


20:24

Mentzen:

Even High-Ranking PiS Politicians Come to Me Wanting to Cooperate. They Ask for Discretion, So Kaczyński Doesn't Find Out

- That's true, but we don't have to govern with either Tusk or Kaczyński. That is, it's not the case that PiS is just Jarosław Kaczyński. There are many sensible people in PiS, many people I agree with - Sławomir Mentzen said on Polsat News.

- This is an interesting matter: various politicians, even very highly placed ones in PiS, come to me who want to establish some form of cooperation - he continued.

- They say: probably, who knows, in two years maybe we will govern together, so it's worth preparing for this in advance, so as not to be surprised when power suddenly appears, and to already have some common discussed, thought-out projects, and they would like to start working on this, but they very much ask for discretion, so that Jarosław Kaczyński doesn't find out by accident, because as soon as he finds out, he will destroy them and their role in politics will end - he went on to say.

- There are many sensible people in PiS, it's just that unfortunately they got such a leader, not another one - he added.

- He really doesn't help in establishing any talks here, and even actively hinders them - he pointed out when asked about the chances of a coalition with PiS, but without Kaczyński.


20:37

Mentzen:

"Donald, you fool..." is very funny, if I had been in the stands then, I would have sung it too

- "Donald, you fool..." is very funny, if I had been in the stands then, I would have sung it too, but I wouldn't have sung the others, because I don't use profanity - said Sławomir Mentzen in Polsat News.
