Śliwka:
If We Don't Denounce the Migration Pact, We Won't Be Exempt From It
- Regarding whether we will indeed be exempt from the migration pact, it must be clearly stated that if we do not denounce the migration pact, we will not be exempt from it. What we are dealing with today are speculations - said Andrzej Śliwka in '24 Questions' on PR24.
- We don't entirely know if the European Commission will actually adopt this report in which Poland will be excluded from this migration pact, although it's hard to call it an exclusion being precise, because we are talking about the so-called solidarity mechanism, which is adopted by the European Commission only once a year - Andrzej Śliwka continued.
07:38
Bogucki:
The President Meets with All Political Leaders
- Regarding meetings with leaders of simply various political circles, primarily parliamentary circles represented in the Polish Sejm, one must... Recently, last week [the president met with the PiS leader]. That's why I'm saying the president is meeting with all leaders of political circles, including Marshal Hołownia, and other representatives - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
07:43
Bogucki on the Senate Pact:
The President is Undoubtedly a Patron of Conservative, Right-Wing Circles.
- The President, Mr. Nawrocki, is undoubtedly a patron of conservative, right-wing circles. It is the votes of these circles, these voters, millions of Poles, that decided he is the President of the Republic of Poland. Your attempt to drive a wedge here, which you are trying to do, I am not surprised, as it is your role to ask various questions, but an attempt to drive a wedge between President Nawrocki and Chairman Kaczyński will be a clumsy attempt. I attest to this - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- If this construction is to be created at all, let us remember that the Senate is not the link or chamber of parliament that decides who forms the government, whereas the Senate is needed, for example, to amend the Constitution - he continued.
- President Nawrocki is, was, and I deeply believe will remain a patron of conservative, right-wing circles, those voices and those people who voted for him in the presidential elections - added the Head of the President's Chancellery.
07:48
Bogucki on the Migration Pact:
It's a smokescreen, an attempt to deceive Poles.
- It's a smokescreen, an attempt to deceive Poles into thinking the migration pact isn't that dangerous, solely to allow the government to secure better positions for an attack on the parliamentary elections, possibly in 2027 - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
07:49
Bogucki on the Referendum Regarding the Migration Pact:
A Formula is Possible for the President to Patronize a Citizen Initiative.
- Even if the Senate does not hold this referendum, there is such a formula, and I think it is possible, for the President to patronize a citizen initiative. He was a citizen's candidate, he showed that it is possible to win elections that everyone, or almost everyone, said were impossible to win - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
08:00
Bogucki Announces Presidential Proposals on the Justice System:
He Has a Mandate from Winning the Election.
- If the circles that rule today adhere to the Constitution and laws, then we can talk about other solutions. The President will certainly present such solutions. Within the next few weeks. These will be solutions [regarding the justice system] for which the President has a mandate from winning the election - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
08:07
Szłapka on Poland's Exclusion from Migration Pact Provisions:
No Concerns At All.
- No, no, no, no problem, I think everything is clear here. We've been working on this for the past almost two years, since December 2023, and there are no concerns here – said Adam Szłapka in an interview with Mariusz Piekarski on TVP Info's "Gość poranka" program, when asked if there was a problem due to the EC's decision on Poland's exclusion from the migration pact provisions being postponed.
- It's difficult for me to say now, because that's the Commission's decision. Probably some final touches on the documents, but I think there are no concerns here – he continued, when asked about the reason for the postponement of the decision.
08:15
Szłapka on Poland's exemption from the Migration Pact provisions:
This is settled permanently.
- Politically, PiS will probably try to use this all the time, but substantively, I have no doubts that we will take care of our interests, and this is settled permanently - said Adam Szłapka in TVP Info, when asked if Poland's exemption from the provisions of the migration pact would be for a year and if "political demons" concerning the pact would return every year.
- This is permanent - he continued, when asked if it was permanent or just for now, for a year.
- No. There are a number of European countries under particular pressure, including Poland. We are under a different kind of pressure than, for example, Greece, therefore there is no concern that anything that harms Poland's security will be implemented here - he continued, when pressed on whether, if "the conflict subsides" and "some Ukrainians leave", "we will fall under the provisions of the migration pact".
08:23
Szłapka:
I Don't Think Even Nawrocki Believes His Letter to von der Leyen Had Any Impact
- I don't think even Karol Nawrocki believes that this letter had any impact - said Adam Szłapka on TVP Info, when asked about the Law and Justice (PiS) narrative that Poland's announced exemption from the provisions of the migration pact is thanks to President Karol Nawrocki's letter to Ursula von der Leyen.
- There was no role for Mr. President in this matter, honestly, please believe me, I was Minister for European Union affairs for 1.5 years - he continued, when asked if he underestimated the president's role.
08:31
Szłapka:
There will be no shortage of funds for healthcare in Poland
- This is not the first discussion of this type in Poland, as it is always a discussion about so-called 'overperformance', which is very difficult to plan in advance in the budget - said Adam Szłapka in TVP Info, when asked about the lack of funds in the National Health Fund (NFZ) budget for next year.
- There will be no shortage of funds for healthcare in Poland - he continued, after the host pointed out that there were also insufficient funds for unlimited procedures.
- These are formal and organizational matters, how it will be reallocated or not, or found in the budget, there will be no shortage - he went on to say, when pressed about the potential reallocation of a billion zloty from the Prime Minister's Chancellery (KPRM) budget.
08:38
Szłapka on the Civil Partnerships Bill:
I Think This Will Be a Government Project.
- I think this will be a government project, a compromise one, and I believe we will see it through calmly - said Adam Szłapka on TVP Info, when asked about the civil partnerships bill.
08:45
"I would simply not recommend deepening the chaos, and I think the President's entourage is fully aware that this is deepening the chaos," said Adam Szłapka in an interview with TVP Info, when asked about President Karol Nawrocki presenting judicial nominations based on competitions within the neo-KRS.
"If we want to get out of this PiS-era mess, it's better to actually reach an agreement, and this bill, proposed by Minister Żurek, in my opinion, is a solution that guarantees pouring oil on these turbulent waves of the rule of law," he continued.
08:52
Przydacz:
This Government Was Meant to Bring Hope. All That's Left is That 80% of Poles See No Improvement
- This government was meant to bring great hope, and all that's left of that hope is that 80% of Poles today see no improvement following the change of government, and 30% see a worsening of the situation. These are dramatic results for the government, but also dramatic results for Poland - said Marcin Przydacz in RMF FM's "Morning Conversation," when asked about a poll for the broadcaster which showed that after 2 years of the coalition's rule, 45% of respondents stated that their lives are the same as before, 31% believe their lives are worse, and 12% - that they are better.
- Let's look at the earlier hope. For the last decade, people have seen that the state can act and that the state can take care of them when they need it - he continued.
08:52
- Judging by the reactions of Law and Justice politicians, I think they are at the highest level of emergency, seeing these meetings between Karol Nawrocki and Sławomir Mentzen - said Adam Szłapka in TVP Info, when asked if the president would prove himself as a patron of an agreement between PiS and Konfederacja.
- It was Sławomir Mentzen who said that he would not talk to someone like Kaczyński and could possibly consider talking with Karol Nawrocki - he continued.
- If President Nawrocki decided to have such a meeting after such words, then President Kaczyński is probably wondering if he made the right choice in nominating such a candidate as Law and Justice's candidate in the presidential elections - he continued.
09:12
Przydacz:
This Year von der Leyen Doesn't Want to Send Us Migrants, But We Don't Know About Next Year or the Year After
- Do you know how the migration pact works? We warned about this. That a regulation was introduced which Donald Tusk was unable to block, and that annually the European Commission, meaning Ursula von der Leyen, would decide whether to send us migrants or not. And this year – as I understand it – she doesn't want to send them, I think partly as a result of pressure, the letter from President Karol Nawrocki did its job well – said Marcin Przydacz in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.
- However, what will happen next year, what will happen in two years – we don't know, because in a moment it might turn out... What would prevent Ursula von der Leyen from suddenly forgetting about Ukrainians? You know perfectly well that this is a political decision by Brussels – he continued.
09:24
Przydacz asked about Nawrocki-Sikorski talks:
When there's progress, there will be an announcement.
- Such meetings happen at the ministerial level. The President also [...] met with Minister Sikorski in New York. So, when there's any progress in these talks, we will announce it. At this stage, please give these talks a chance to yield any positive outcome - said Marcin Przydacz in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.
09:30
Przydacz on the status of the nearest person:
If this were to be something akin to a family union, then there will be no openness from the President.
- When it comes to the act on the status of the nearest person, meaning a situation that would actually affect a close person, who for various reasons needs closer contact, some cooperation, some joint action, then there is a certain openness here to help such people. However, it cannot be an ideological project - said Marcin Przydacz in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.
- When it comes to extremely ideological projects that will try to create a substitute for the family, if this were to be something akin to a family union, then of course there will be no openness here - he emphasized.
- But when it comes to helping someone who is truly the nearest person, a friend, and they need some formalization of their legal actions, then there is a certain openness to dialogue here - he indicated.
10:38
Ardanowski:
Farmers Must Receive Aid. We're Talking Hundreds of Millions
- Farmers must receive some money because payments have been suspended, creditworthiness has been affected. There are loans to be repaid, and it's most often the farms that invested, developed their land, machinery, equipment, buildings, and basic herds – these will be the first to go bankrupt - said Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski in an interview with Jacek Prusinowski on Radio Plus's "The Heart of the Matter.".
- I think that the upcoming deadlines, meaning the autumn installments, will require hundreds of millions. It's not billions yet, but such aid is necessary - he indicated.
10:45
Ardanowski on Heading the Presidential Council:
Nawrocki Seriously Wants to Represent the Countryside.
– The President announced that I will be the head of the council. It is being formed with great difficulty, still a week or two… The President seriously wants to represent the countryside and has emphasized this many times. He also knows that it was thanks to votes from the countryside that the scales tipped, very possibly, and he became president. And he isn’t resting on his laurels – said Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski in “Sedno Sprawy” on Radio Plus.
10:48
- First and foremost, he [President Karol Nawrocki] is trying to block the Mercosur agreement. This is the most crucial issue because we will be caught in a vice. If, in addition to the food coming from Ukraine and soon from Russia, South America joins in, then it spells the end for agriculture in our country and, I believe, for the majority of agricultural countries in Europe - said Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski in the "Sedno Sprawy" program on Radio Plus.
- What should have been handled by the government, the President is still trying – perhaps it's too late – but he's still trying to save something - he emphasized.
11:20
Kierwiński on the MP's Conduct:
Mejza Will Answer for This Barbaric Raid.
- A certain Mejza was speeding at 200 km/h. He refused to accept the fine. Because, after all, he is an MP... an MP from PiS. We will not let this go. The police have done their part. Mejza will answer for this barbaric raid - wrote Marcin Kierwiński on social media.
Niejaki Mejza pędził 200 km/h. Odmówił przyjęcia mandatu. Bo przecież jest posłem…. posłem PiS. Nie odpuścimy. Policja zrobiła swoje. Mejza odpowie za ten barbarzyński rajd.
— Marcin Kierwiński (@MKierwinski) October 14, 2025
11:36
Stated Nawrocki to Judges:
Regulations and Decrees of People Who Think They Will Regulate the Legal Order Extra-Legally Do Not Bind the State,
- There is no law in Poland other than the law based on the Constitution and statutes. And no sub-statutory regulations, decrees, or orders from people who believe they will regulate the legal order extra-legally, bind the state, nor do they bind those who wish to faithfully serve the Republic of Poland. It is obvious that in your work you will be interpreting the law, but always based on the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and specific statutes - said President Karol Nawrocki during the ceremony of awarding judicial and assessor nominations.
11:38
Nawrocki:
To Serve the Republic Faithfully, One Must Respect Its Legal Order, Especially When a Judge
- To serve the Republic of Poland faithfully – these are words that have filled this hall several times today. [...] Only one who knows Poland and the Republic can serve the RP faithfully. Who knows how Poland, our national community, is built, on what foundations, from what the Republic grows, what Poles have worked for over generations, for what they have died, what symbols are important to us. Today, one of these symbols has just reached you – a beautiful eagle in a crown – said President Karol Nawrocki during the ceremony of awarding judicial and assessor nominations.
- Only one who [...] either loves or at least respects Poland can serve the RP faithfully. To serve the Republic faithfully in the 21st century, in the year 2025, one must also respect the legal order of the Republic, especially when one is a judge or assessor and when one is building the Polish justice system. And this legal order is based on the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and on statutes – he continued.
11:40
Nawrocki:
Anyone Claiming We'll Interpret the Law as We See Fit Foretells Lawlessness, Which I Will Never Accept
"I will not accept the law being interpreted by politicians according to their own imaginings. Because that is not a harbinger of law, but a harbinger of sheer lawlessness. Because there is only one law and one Constitution. And if anyone says we will apply the law as we see fit, it foretells lawlessness, which I will never accept," said President Karol Nawrocki during the ceremony for awarding judicial and assessor nominations.
11:41
Nawrocki:
The Act on the National Council of the Judiciary is a legal law in force in Poland, in accordance with the Polish Constitution
- To faithfully serve the Republic, one must remain faithful to the constitution, but also to laws, including the Act on the National Council of the Judiciary, which is a legal law in force in Poland, in accordance with the Polish Constitution - said President Karol Nawrocki during the ceremony of awarding judicial and assessor nominations.
11:46
Nawrocki:
I Will Never Agree to Segregate Judges
- I will never agree to segregate judges into neo-judges and paleo-judges. Judges are those, in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, who are nominated by each successive President of the Republic of Poland - said President Karol Nawrocki during the ceremony of awarding judicial and assessor nominations.
- Therefore, I ask you, ladies and gentlemen, never to let yourselves be convinced that there are any categories of neo-judges and paleo-judges among judges. This does not function, it does not exist, and we will never agree to it - he emphasized.
12:04
Hołownia Announces Swift Procedure for Mejza's Immunity Waiver Request:
It's Strange That He Didn't Exercise His Right to Accept the Mandate.
- It is strange that the MP [Łukasz Mejza] did not exercise his right to accept the mandate, especially with such speeding violations, there should be no discussion, but this means that a request to lift MP Mejza's immunity will be filed, and we will process this request as quickly as possible - stated Szymon Hołownia in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.
12:21
Hołownia:
I am in favor of talking with Nawrocki, not getting offended or waging wars
- I am in favor of talking with the President [Karol Nawrocki], not turning away from him, getting offended, or waging wars. If there are important matters, we should sometimes, even at the legislative stage, when creating legislation, ask what the President is willing to sign, what he is willing to discuss, and what is an insurmountable boundary for him - stated Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
As he emphasized: - There will be laws that we will pass regardless of the President's will, knowing that he will probably veto them, because that is our position, because we believe it should be that way, and nothing can shake this position, not even the President's will in this matter. There are such issues, they are often very fundamental.
- But there are many laws and regulations where we have to assume that there will be no other president for the next 5 years, and therefore, if we want to see changes in Poland, we must reach an agreement - he stated.
12:32
Tusk in Racibórz on Arms Investments:
We've Probably Done a Damn Good Job.
- We are in a place that is quiet today. I was just talking with colleagues, employees of Rafako, Rafako, which in its previous iteration has practically gone down in history. When we met two years ago, it seemed to some that the process of saving the plant, or at least jobs and production here, would be simpler. It turned out to be very complicated - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.
- I am glad that we could say "thank you" to each other today, because we have probably done a damn good job, and I also thank the managers present here very much. Minister Balczun was involved in this in her previous role, but with us are the president of Jelcz, the head of Raciborska Fabryka Komponentów, the head of the Polish Development Fund, and our colleague Leśkiewicz from Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa - he continued.
- It was these gentlemen who also became very involved in ensuring that Jelcz production began as quickly as possible in a place where boilers were recently manufactured. Jelcz, the one that drives on wheels and is absolutely essential from the perspective of the Polish army, because on these platforms, on these vehicles, on these chassis, there will be missiles and radars. Primarily, we are thinking here about the Narew program - he went on to say.
- Over 500 people should find employment here, which will be a branch of Jelcz - he added.
12:45
Tusk asked about Mejza:
Perhaps I'm not the best person to comment on speeding violations.
- What is there to comment on? Besides, perhaps I'm not the best person to comment on speeding violations; that's usually when you lose your license for a while. And the fact that someone uses their parliamentary ID in such situations is so stupid, it doesn't even warrant a comment - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Racibórz.
- If this were Mr. Mejza's biggest sin, it would be a minor issue. In a way, it's just the cherry on top of his activities - he continued.
12:47
Tusk:
I deeply regret that the President decided to continue the actions of his predecessor and Minister Ziobro
- If the matter weren't serious, one could say the President allowed himself a joke by stating that politicians are currently interfering with the judiciary - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference.
- The problem is that we are trying, and Minister Żurek, and previously Minister Bodnar, have been very consistent in this, to rebuild a justice system, a judiciary in Poland, that will be independent of politicians and resistant to any attempts at brutal political intervention - he continued.
- This is the essence of the problem Poland finds itself in regarding the judiciary and, more broadly, the entire justice system. That it has been dominated by politics, by party leaders, and freeing this system from this brutal version of politics is one of the most important tasks for me - he went on to say.
- I deeply regret that the President decided to continue what his predecessor did and what Minister Ziobro did. I have no influence over his thinking. If I did, things would look different - he added.
12:48
Tusk on the Kaczyński-Mentzen Relationship:
More Like a Cold Civil War Than Readiness for Cooperation.
- I am neither Mr. Mentzen's, Mr. Kaczyński's, nor Mr. Nawrocki's political advisor. I don't know how I should comment on these ideas. What I observe, and what is happening on the Mr. Mentzen-Mr. Kaczyński line, resembles more a cold civil war than readiness for cooperation, and the emotions will only grow, I believe, so we will likely watch this unfold, but I have my own plans regarding future elections, and they are certainly not plans that will please Mr. Kaczyński, Mr. Nawrocki, or Mr. Mentzen - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Racibórz.
12:54
Tusk:
Poland Will Not Accept Any Migrants Under the Relocation Mechanism. Not a Single Migrant
- As long as I am responsible for governing Poland, regardless of how the further stages of the migration pact look, Poland has its ways and will not accept any migrants under the relocation mechanism. Not a single migrant. And from our perspective, the issue is closed. It seems almost certain today that Europe will follow my government's lead in how to act against illegal migration and broader migratory pressure - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Racibórz.
12:55
Tusk:
My Political Experience Tells Me One Invented the Demonstration, the Other the Letter, Because They Knew I'd Solved the Problem
- I'm not here to be spiteful. But my political experience tells me that one invented the demonstration, and the other invented the letter, because they knew I'd solved the problem - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Racibórz.
12:56
Hołownia on chances for a UN position:
At first, I would have assessed them as close to zero. Today, it's around 30%.
- We are advanced in this process. At the very beginning of it, three weeks ago, I would have assessed these chances as close to zero. Today, I estimate them to be around 30%. We have managed to achieve a great deal - stated Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm, when asked about his candidacy for the position of UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
12:57
Tusk:
Some will shout and protest, others will criticize, and we will do everything to transform JSW and save the company
- Very serious work is underway concerning JSW. I understand that union activists are there to protest or signal issues, I have no complaints. I myself started my public activity as a Solidarity unionist decades ago - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference.
- We act, we don't just talk. Some will shout, some will protest, others will criticize, and we will do everything to transform JSW in such a way as to save the company, or at least a significant part of it - he continued.
- This plan is precise; it concerns both finances and voluntary departures from work. This entire system will soon be presented by the ministers responsible for this area. Minister Balczun is with us, Minister Motyka. They will present everything that can be done with JSW, and I don't rule out that Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa [Polish Armaments Group] or, more broadly, Polish industry might also play a positive role here - he went on to say.
- Certain actions have already been taken [...]. Let's not deceive ourselves either [...] we also know the reasons for JSW's critical situation. And that sometimes those who managed JSW succumbed unnecessarily to pressure, including from union activists. For a company [...] to prosper, it must stand on its feet from the top. It cannot be the case that the worse the trouble, the higher the earnings, because that's not how it will work - he emphasized.
13:02
Hołownia on Support for His UN Candidacy:
Both Nawrocki and Tusk Did a Lot.
"President Nawrocki did a lot. Indeed, on every foreign visit, he emphasizes that we have a Polish candidate. Prime Minister Tusk also did a lot; his calls to various leaders, including Antonio Guterres, helped a great deal. Prime Minister Sikorski is also working very intensively to support this candidacy. Today he is in Great Britain and also told me he would be discussing it," stated Szymon Hołownia in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
"We currently have open avenues of support from probably twenty-something states, but we are working very intensively to increase that number. The best Polish specialists, who are committed to having a Pole in this particular position, from humanitarian aid, have joined this project," he stated.
14:22
Szłapka on Information Conveyed by Błaszczak:
An Absolute Untruth.
- Minister Mariusz Błaszczak, who is spreading information claiming that the Minister of Finance is blocking the purchase of missiles. We have a response from the Ministry of National Defence stating that what Minister Błaszczak is conveying to the public is an absolute untruth - said Adam Szłapka at a press conference.
14:23
Ziobro:
Żurek's motto is that he needs trusted judges
- Everyone has a motto in life. Mr. Żurek's motto is the statement that he needs trusted judges. He really said that, he needs trusted judges, this is not a quote from literature of the 40s and 50s. - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.
- I am telling you now, recalling the statement of Mr., a former judge, now Minister of Justice in Donald Tusk's government, Mr. Żurek, who shamelessly, without remorse, without any hesitation, honestly said that he wants his trusted judges and subordinates his actions to this - the former Minister of Justice continued.
14:25
Ziobro:
Żurek Delivers a Fatal Blow to Judicial Independence
- Mr. Żurek, through his actions, is truly delivering a fatal blow to the independent, autonomous Polish judiciary, leading to the appointment of judges loyal to the authorities. Any authority that appoints its loyal judges can also dictate verdicts - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.
14:25
Ziobro:
The Honest Aren't Afraid of Objective Judgments, But Everyone Can Fear Unobjective Ones
- The honest aren't afraid of objective judgments, but everyone can fear unobjective ones. All those who do not have the tools of power, who cannot pull the strings at a given moment, who cannot appoint a judge and who cannot print verdicts, as corrupt, evil, politically entangled power can - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.
14:26
Ziobro Comments on Żurek's Decisions:
These Regulations Ensure That People Like Nowak Have a Guarantee of Security.
- Because these regulations, on the one hand, are intended to ensure that people like Sławomir Nowak have a guarantee of security and peace, but on the other hand, to prevent the recurrence of the case of MP Matecki, who, to the outrage of Donald Tusk, who frothed with anger in the Sejm about seeing MP Matecki in the parliamentary chamber. It turns out that judges, precisely those randomly selected by the machine, have decided that pre-trial detention for him is unwarranted, and such cases should not happen again - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.
14:34
Szłapka on Mucha's Statement Regarding Tusk's Inability to Lead KO to Victory in 2027:
Everyone Can Have Their Opinion.
- When it comes to the comments of the MPs of the October 15th coalition, everyone can have their opinion. The votes in the Sejm clearly show that the government has stable support, and nothing is changing and will not change in this regard - said Adam Szłapka at a press conference, when asked about Joanna Mucha's words stating that Donald Tusk will not be able to lead KO to victory in 2027, and how the Prime Minister reacts to such public appeals from coalition partners.
14:37
Ziobro:
I am in favour of abolishing immunity, not just for politicians but also for judges
- I am in favour of abolishing immunities in criminal and petty offence cases, as a rule, so I hope this discussion will return. Of course, when immunities exist, it cannot be the case that only one side can invoke them. It is difficult to complain about someone reaching for these immunities then, but the principle, according to my views, is that immunities in their current form, not only for politicians but also for judges and prosecutors, should be abolished - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference.
14:42
Szłapka:
I Think We'll Know the Principles of the Partnership Unions Bill Tomorrow. It Will Be a Government Bill
- Regarding the principles, as announced, I think tomorrow - said Adam Szłapka at a press conference, when asked when the principles of the partnership unions bill, developed by Lewica and PSL, would be known and whether it would be a government bill.
- As the authors announce, it will be a government bill, because it is already a compromise bill - he continued.
14:58
Sikorski on Drone Attack on Poland:
Our Alliances Proved Solid.
- Just a month ago, for the first time, a large number of Russian drones entered NATO and European Union airspace. 21 drones flew over the Polish border and were shot down by Polish and Dutch air forces. Many were shot down, the battle lasted 7 hours, and it makes us question whether NATO is ready to counter such drones - said Radosław Sikorski in the British Parliament.
- I am pleased to say that the detection systems worked, they proved effective, the Air Policing system proved effective, the command structure proved effective, our society proved resilient, and our alliances proved solid - the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continued.
14:59
Sikorski Speaks in the British Parliament:
The UK is also a victim of the hybrid war Putin is waging against NATO.
- The UK is also a victim of the hybrid war that Vladimir Putin is waging against NATO. Hybrid warfare does not cause major disruption online; it encompasses everything that is not an actual invasion. In Great Britain, you have had death squads that killed Mr. Litvinenko, that attempted to kill the Skripals, you have had poisonings, arsons, you have had approaches to politicians with various dirty missions, and Russian spy ships mapping your critical infrastructure. In Poland, we additionally have the forced migration of immigrants, pushing migrants from Belarus into Poland, and we also have arsons and attacks on our financial institutions and hospitals - stated Radosław Sikorski in the British Parliament.
15:04
Sikorski:
We Must Convince Putin He Cannot Win
- I am convinced that Vladimir Putin will limit his ambition only when a number of conditions are met. Firstly, he must admit that the initial invasion was a mistake. He has not reached that stage yet. Secondly, and more importantly, we must convince him that he is unable to win. If we were to give up, if we were to stop supporting Ukraine, he would then outlast us - Radosław Sikorski said in the British Parliament.
- The Ukrainians are planning this war for 3 years; this is a cautious estimate. We must convince Putin that we are ready to stand with Ukraine for at least 3 years, that Ukraine will not be left to its own devices, that it will have the resources, means, to sustain the Ukrainian state, the Ukrainian army, and the Ukrainian defence industry, and then Russia may be forced to change course - the Minister of Foreign Affairs continued.

Kotula Wants to Discuss Partnership Unions with the First Lady:
We Will Request Such a Meeting.
- No. That's not possible yet - Katarzyna Kotula said on RMF FM when asked if anyone from the President's office had seen the draft bill on partnership unions.
- And Urszula Pasławska [...] and I, and the PSL and the Left, are clear: we are ready for talks with the President's cabinet. I do not hide that I would be very happy to meet with the First Lady to discuss this [...] we will request such a meeting - she continued.
18:34
- No. It is reasonableness, prudence, responsibility – said Katarzyna Kotula in RMF FM, when asked if the absence of any child-related issues in the partnership bill does not signify Lewica (The Left) waving the white flag.
- For 20 years, no one has managed to develop a government bill that would gain a majority and pass through the next step, where a concrete proposal providing security, care, support, a sense of safety [...] regardless of its name, would land on the president's desk. And that's what we want to achieve – she continued.

Kotula:
If I believed we would win the elections in '27 and Trzaskowski would be President, there would be no problem with a more progressive version of the registered partnerships bill.
- If I believed that we would win the elections in '27 and Rafał Trzaskowski would be in the Presidential Palace, there would be no problem with a more progressive version of this bill [on registered partnerships], but the reality is different - said Katarzyna Kotula on RMF FM.

Hennig-Kloska on a Deputy Prime Minister Position for Poland 2050:
I Expect Previous Agreements, Including Oral Ones, to Be Honored.
- I believe this matter will be resolved as it was agreed upon during the recent consultations regarding the government's reconstruction. It was clearly indicated then that Poland 2050 would have the position of deputy prime minister, deputy marshal – said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News’ “Gość Wydarzeń” (Guest of Events).
- And this is absolutely not a story about some positions, because that is absolutely not how it should be understood – but rather about effectively implementing one's agenda at the coalition level and resolving coalition matters within the government, not outside – she continued.
When asked about a hypothetical situation where the prime minister would postpone a decision until January and the moment a new leader of Poland 2050 is elected, she replied: - As I said, I primarily expect that previous agreements, including oral ones, will be honored. However, these matters should absolutely be discussed behind closed doors among the leaders and resolved.

Kowal:
The Main Wave of Information Attack on Poland Will Be Inciting Conflict with Ukraine
- We are witnessing such a propaganda attack that I haven't recalled anything like it for a long time. I see people who are almost professionally engaged in sowing anxiety. I am also thinking of Polish opinion leaders who might think they are joking. It is no secret that I constantly debate with former Prime Minister Leszek Miller - said Paweł Kowal in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach".
- The main wave of information attack on Poland will be inciting conflict with Ukraine, because the Russians have always wanted a conflict between Poland and Ukraine, just like other partitioners, for that matter. So I'm looking at who is dealing with this today. I'm looking at how people assess the Polish government's actions and threats. If someone, and this is a post by the former prime minister himself, from early September, after proven cases of arson, after proven cases of sabotage, after Poland has been defending its eastern border with Belarus for several years, says that Putin is not really that bad, and a few days later there is a drone attack, then I draw conclusions from that - Paweł Kowal continued.
- If we are going to call fostering Putin's views, repeating Putin's views, constantly calling for a Polish-Ukrainian conflict, for conflict between Poland and other neighbors, but the one with Ukraine is the most sensitive matter here, if we call all of this simply different opinions, then we will get nowhere - Paweł Kowal went on to say.
20:10
- Never against the party's recommendation. If such a party recommendation were to occur, then of course I would rise to the occasion - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, when asked about a situation where Prime Minister Donald Tusk would not accept Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz's candidacy and would instead ask her to take on the role of Deputy Prime Minister.
20:12
Mucha on the coalition’s continuation and a Deputy Prime Minister for Poland 2050:
There is no blackmail from our side.
- There is no blackmail from our side. I want to state this absolutely clearly. We believe we are indeed entitled to the position of Deputy Prime Minister, after Szymon Hołownia steps down as Marshal, but there is no such blackmail - said Joanna Mucha on TVN24’s “Fakty po Faktach.”
20:14
- I remain loyal to my party. The party has so far put forward this representative [Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz for Deputy Prime Minister]. I don't know what would have to happen for such a recommendation to change. As of today, we are absolutely not discussing this within the party, so there is no topic - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in ‘Gość Wydarzeń’ on Polsat News.
20:22
Hennig-Kloska on cooperation with Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:
I am a professional.
- I am a professional. Katarzyna [Pełczyńska-Nałęcz] and I have been cooperating at the government level for 2 years and we will continue to cooperate - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in „Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.
- Moreover, when I agreed to be nominated by a group of MPs [in the party vote on the Deputy Prime Minister nomination], I decided I would respect the verdict, whatever it might be, because that's how an adult behaves. They don't get offended, they don't leave, they don't stomp their feet, they don't slam doors, but simply, if we agree on a decision and its acceptance, that's how it should be - she continued.
20:27
Hennig-Kloska:
I'm Encouraging My Party Colleagues to Support Czarzasty for Speaker
- I am encouraging my colleagues [from Poland 2050] to support Mr. Speaker [Włodzimierz Czarzasty]. You cannot pressure people here. You can encourage, you can persuade, but every Member of Parliament has a free mandate and is not bound by any club recommendations, - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
20:46
Hennig-Kloska:
Petru is Perceived More as a Club Member Than Someone with Good Rapport with the Majority of Our Group
- I obviously cooperate very closely with Ryszard [Petru]. We've known each other for 10 years, we co-founded Nowoczesna, and I joined his party. In essence, it was from that party that I was first elected as a Member of Parliament, and I also have a certain sentiment for that period – Paulina Hennig-Kloska said on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".
- However, Ryszard is undoubtedly a person who is perceived a bit like someone who joined our party at a rather late stage and is more of a club member than someone with good rapport with the majority of our group – she stated.
- We'll see [if I support him]. Perhaps I will run [for the leadership of Poland 2050] myself; today, I don't want to speak rashly – she indicated.
