- I don't know [if Donald Tusk will be Prime Minister until 2027], but this government, as it has been formed, will survive until 2027, because there is no other alternative. We all keep repeating that this government is lasting and lasting, damn it - stated Joanna Mucha in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on Radio Zet.

- I am not as optimistic as Donald Tusk. If we don't change anything, and currently, there's no sign of such change, I fear this is precisely the optimistic version. In my opinion, as the entire democratic world, we lack an answer to what is happening, to the proposal that populists have formulated, and this also concerns Poland. That's why we desperately need a very deep change in the overall way politics is conducted - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

- Let's define what we consider a victory. Because for me, victory is that after 2027, democrats still rule in Poland. If we define victory this way, then in my opinion, Donald Tusk is not capable of leading KO, or any party that might be called differently, to win sufficiently. But we are still here; I know that today our ratings and polls are low, but we intend to rebuild - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

- The leader of a 30% party, for example, determined who we would have as the President of Poland, and due to bad decisions made precisely within Civic Coalition, we have the president we have today, and this is an absolutely strategic matter. The fault lies with the entire Civic Coalition, which formulated the election campaign and the way it was conducted, the use of specialists, research, etc., etc., and the candidate himself in such a manner - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

- I don't have the feeling that we all should stand at attention before the largest coalition party, because we are not PiS. We are that part of the political scene that has the right to show different ways, different solutions, different ideas for Poland, and that's why I don't think there was anything wrong with Szymon Hołownia running in these elections and conducting his own campaign as best he could - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

- Do they really take people for idiots? Who voted in the European Parliament for ETS2 with the European People's Party? Donald Tusk. Who voted for the ban on registering combustion engine cars? Donald Tusk's circle - Jacek Ozdoba said on Polsat News's "Graffiti", when asked about the government spokesman's statement yesterday: "At Poland's request, the European Council maintained the provisions of the conclusions, which are a loophole for a thorough change of ETS2. This is what effective policy in Europe looks like" and whether he would congratulate the Prime Minister and our team in Brussels.

- Who invented this? Donald Tusk's circle. Who invented ETS2? Donald Tusk's circle. Who invented the MSR mechanism, i.e. Micro Stability Reserve, which caused 30-40% of our bill to be a European tax today? Donald Tusk's and PO's circle - he continued.

- If someone withdraws from their own achievements made in the EP, let's be consistent and let them say that everything Donald Tusk wants to drink today is the beer he brewed himself - he stated.

- The decision from my side [regarding running for the leadership of Poland 2050] has not yet been made, about whether I will participate in these elections. I want to be the leader of Poland 2050, but I will only make the decision to run when I know that all the things necessary for me to be a good leader of Poland 2050 are already within my grasp - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

- This information doesn't actually say anything, because public information that something will be delayed, while not knowing when, tells Poles nothing. The worst thing, and let's pay attention to both aspects, is that sooner or later ETS 2 is planned, and this is something that will significantly affect us through an increase in energy prices, - said Grzegorz Płaczek in "Bez Uników" on Trójka Polskiego Radia.

- Poles often don't distinguish between ETS and ETS 2, so let's emphasize again that this fee, in my opinion, is a fee that manipulates public opinion because it is simultaneously said that this money, this ETS 2, is returning to Poland and is being spent on RES, which is untrue, and on the other hand, Poles are fed these half-truths. I would rather hear from the Prime Minister of my country that ETS 2 will end up in the bin - Grzegorz Płaczek continued.

- My ambitions are greater when it comes to 2027 than 9%. I think Ryszard Petru sees our party similarly to Nowoczesna, and our party is something much broader than just the Nowoczesna project, so I see simply more possibilities here - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

"I believe he is one of the most serious candidates. I know that within our organization, within our party, there is also some resistance to his candidacy, because he was not with us from the beginning of our journey" - said Michał Kobosko in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM, when asked if he supports Ryszard Petru in the election for the leader of Poland 2050.

"I haven't said I will vote for Ryszard Petru, and at the moment I will also not state here my support or lack of support for other candidates" - he continued.

- No, we unequivocally rule out the possibility of us running on a single list. We argued about this single list in the previous elections and we were right, because a very large part of our voters would not have gone to the polls if it were a single list, and we have this researched, quite clearly stated, so we are genuinely not interested in running on a single list - stated Joanna Mucha on Radio Zet.

- It is absolutely out of the question [a single list with KO]. Our voter is a voter who is very negatively disposed towards PiS and very distrustful towards PO or KO - she continued.

- They are aware that the wind of change is blowing in Europe. Let's look at France, Great Britain [...], Italy, other countries, and also Poland - said Jacek Ozdoba in 'Graffiti' on Polsat News.

- It's not that you can downplay things today because someone released some polls. With all due respect to them, one must approach them with humility - but I am convinced that Poles will trust us in the upcoming elections - he stated.

- I believe the primary option is to run independently, just as our partners, the Polish People's Party (PSL), have officially assumed until recently – an individual run - Michał Kobosko said on RMF FM.

- Seriously, this will happen a few months before the elections, when we will see what potential blocs are forming, if and what blocs are forming - he continued.

- Overall, I believe we have good experience from cooperating with the PSL, and of course, four joint election campaigns. We got to know each other in the heat of battle, and I absolutely do not rule out the possibility that we will undertake cooperation with the Polish People's Party again. I hear that the other side also does not rule out such a scenario - he went on, answering the question "more PSL, or more Civic Coalition?".

- The political scene is what it is. I don't really believe, I don't really see, that new, significant political groupings will emerge in these two years - he added.

- We have the PiS programming congress ahead of us and a merger: Szłapka is coming, he already came to Donald Tusk a long time ago, and I don't know if they are merging or not. I understand that he is the administrator of the bankrupt estate - said Jacek Ozdoba in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- Today, we are not throwing around slogans, but talking about concrete solutions that must be implemented when PiS returns to power. […] These proposals will be on the table - said Jacek Ozdoba in “Graffiti” on Polsat News.

- It is important that we discuss in various circles, because there are truly many experts there [at the PiS congress]. I also have a panel on exactly what the cost of living and the European economy look like due to the solutions implemented by Donald Tusk and his party - he continued.

- This was and is our flagship program element, in short: depoliticization, meaning the professionalization of the management of State Treasury companies, so that the aunts and friends of politicians are not placed there, this still happens - said Michał Kobosko on RMF FM.

- Since such serious individuals as the Deputy Minister of State Assets, Mr. Kropiwnicki, are talking about it, I hope that from the Civic Platform there will be what has been missing for these two years, namely the understanding that something serious must be done about this situation - he continued.

- We have a concrete announcement here [...] this is the first such announcement from the Civic Platform. We’ve been banging our heads against a wall for two years, as Poland 2050, we say: there is a mess in the management of State Treasury companies, there are strange personnel decisions - he went on to say.

- The right, including Confederation in this case, has learned its lesson, and we see that the Senate pact that was formed earlier, meaning the centrist-left pact, has led to the Senate being taken over by the current ruling team in a way that is palpable for the Polish parliament. Therefore, we are aware that all political calculations and predictions show that if the right doesn't unite, we won't reclaim this Senate. One of the ideas, which seems very plausible if implemented, is for us to unite within a single project and try to reclaim this Senate - said Grzegorz Płaczek on "Bez Uników" on Polish Radio Trójka.

- Now, someone has likely whispered in the President's ear and told him that to halt the clearly palpable process of Konfederacja's rise in the polls, we must be attacked. Believe me, President Kaczyński's attacks, with all due respect for his grey hair, leave us completely unfazed - Grzegorz Płaczek said on "Bez Uników" (No Evasion) on Polish Radio's Trójka.

- I can answer with two songs that I think hit the mark. First, it's 12 groszy [in Michał Woś's account], so it naturally reminds me of Kazik: “not right-wing, not liberal, not even a fascist. Kowboj CzaCza is a normal communist.” And that’s how communists behave, what Waldemar Żurek did – said Jacek Ozdoba on Polsat News’s “Graffiti”.

- But while driving here, I was listening to a song that he himself once quoted. It’s Paktofonika, and in the first words, there’s a word that I cannot quote, but that people in their heads… And yes, I will also say that he is not God and he should realize that, the President also said – he continued.

- Am I disappointed by Szymon Hołownia's stance? I believe that if he truly departs from Polish politics, it will be a departure for a certain period, that it is not his final decision - said Michał Kobosko on RMF FM.

- Even if he "disappears," in quotation marks, I don't believe it's irreversible, that he would return from such a post solely strengthened - he continued.

- I am a proponent of the thesis that the 800+ benefit should be eliminated on the condition that, during that time, individuals who truly need state protection or care will have alternative solutions provided, where people can compensate for this lack. That is, from my family's perspective, if it were a poor family, putting myself in someone else's shoes, it might be that for some families, this 800+ benefit is a matter of life or death - said Grzegorz Płaczek in “Bez Uników” on Trójka Polish Radio.

- I was watching one of the programs yesterday where this high priestess of propaganda – I don't know how long one can be in a state of liquidation, by the way – but on TVP they say that someone, her mother or mother-in-law, died – God rest her soul – but because she was watching the Pegasus commission? - Jacek Ozdoba said on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- They have all gone mad. Today we are really crossing every boundary, not only of propaganda, which already resembles the darkest times of the PRL... - he continued.

- I thought you were going to say: Jacek Kurski's times - commented Marcin Fijołek.

- Jacek Kurski is a lamb compared to what they are doing - replied the PiS MEP.

- We can talk about this for a long time sometime - replied the host.

- Poland's interest is paramount. Sometimes a rotten compromise is better than Donald Tusk, so to put it bluntly, the program is the most important thing. Konfederacja has many free-market solutions, but sometimes Sławomir Mentzen's statements are too numerous, which I believe are harmful and push, or could push, Poland into more years of leftists... - said Jacek Ozdoba in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

Responding to the remark that Jarosław Kaczyński also doesn't mince his words when addressing Mentzen, he replied: - The PiS leader has gigantic experience and knows how to govern, and Sławomir Mentzen could be played by beer. Although with all due respect to him, I think he sometimes has many interesting ideas, but I believe a little humility wouldn't go amiss.

-While some are busy with themselves, unfurling banners, and at the same time working at barely 31%, we are moving at full steam with the "Thinking Poland" Convention.
A broad discussion among professionals, experts, politicians, and citizens. This is the beginning of the process of creating our program. One must have a plan. One must have a goal. Without a goal, there is no victory, and without a plan, there is no governing. I invite everyone interested to Katowice. Together, let's build Poland's development, modernity, and prosperity.

Podczas gdy jedni zajmują się sami sobą, w(y)prowadzając sztandary, a przy tym pracują ledwie na 31%, my ruszamy pełną parą z Konwencją „Myśląc Polska".

— Jarosław Kaczyński (@OficjalnyJK) October 24, 2025

- I am tremendously honored to be able to officially open this meeting of ours, our program conference, today. This marks the beginning of a long path, I believe, as events can certainly unfold in various ways. It is a path that should culminate in the form of another, a significant program from Law and Justice. A Program for Poland - said Jarosław Kaczyński at the "Thinking Poland" program convention.

- A general reform of the healthcare service is needed. And a general reform of the healthcare service is an undertaking entangled with a huge amount of interests, mainly due to the current organizational shape and ownership situation in healthcare – said Jarosław Kaczyński during the PiS program convention.

- This is currently over 6% of GDP, it is indeed very significant money and associated interests, but it is also, in very many places in Poland, in very many district towns, a matter of employment [...] it is very often the largest employers in the entire district – he continued.

- We are currently facing a crisis, a general crisis of our state. A crisis that is partly recognized by society. Education, culture, housing are already affected. There is also a crisis that is not yet fully recognized by a large part of society, but which is inevitable and clearly emerging. - said Jarosław Kaczyński at the "Thinking Poland" program convention.

- This is an economic crisis, and finally, we have announcements of crises or already crises of enormous weight that are not noticed by a very large part of society, perhaps with the exception of our core supporters. These are crises concerning the future of our state, its existence or non-existence. These are all the plans of the European Union, or more precisely, the plans of Brussels and Berlin. - the PiS leader continued.

- Germany wants to take our state. France along with them, I don't know why, but so. European bureaucracy is burning with this desire. Americans are not. There is a clear emphasis that these are to be sovereign states - said Jarosław Kaczyński during the PiS programmatic convention.

- If we move in the directions I've spoken about today, if we tackle all these problems, including the most important, the general ones, all the choices that lie ahead of us, then this will be the first step towards something truly very, very important - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the PiS programmatic convention in Katowice.

- In Poland, it is such that many problems are difficult to discuss. Our freedom is threatened by everything that is happening in our country today. This, of course, also needs to be talked about, and these rule of law issues are taken into account, but remember, ladies and gentlemen, that alongside what stems from the actions of the authorities, personified today by Mr. Żurek, but let's not forget his predecessor either, not to mention the Prime Minister himself, we must also remember that what sociologists call dispersed sanction is also broadly at play - stated Jarosław Kaczyński during the PiS program convention in Katowice.

- The constitutional moment is here. It has arrived. Although a few years ago a discussion began about a new Constitution, as if indicating that prerequisites had arisen that would justify a constitutional moment. I believe that this was not the case, not yet those circumstances, because solely for the reason that someone imagined, they made up that the Constitution is being violated, for example in the Constitutional Tribunal, for reasons unknown, there are judges who should not be judges, it did not mean that this constitutional moment had occurred due to the general political situation - stated Julia Przyłębska during the PiS programmatic convention.

- The conduct of constitutional bodies of power [over the last 2 years] has shown that this constitutional moment has arrived - the former President of the Constitutional Tribunal continued.

- We all see that this Constitution, in terms of the executive branch, simply doesn't work. That is, it generates conflicts, it ties hands, it creates obstacles - said Zbigniew Bogucki during the PiS programmatic convention.

- Either we will sort out matters in Poland and adopt [...] a new Constitution, because such is the necessity. Let's not ponder whether it's a constitutional moment, because we won't notice it today - he continued.

- We cannot afford not to try, meaning, not to take that first step towards this Constitution, which President of the Republic Karol Nawrocki speaks of in the context of the year '30. This does not mean we have to wait until '30; we have this time to work through - he went on to say.

- With this Constitution, we will achieve nothing more - he added.

- There is a constitutional moment, there is time to change it, there is a need. We know how to do it because we have outstanding experts on the new state, on the new Poland. Let us build it, let us create a constitutional majority - stated Przemysław Czarnek during the PiS program convention.

- The programmatic discussion at the #MyślącPolska Convention in Katowice involves debates among people often with different sensitivities and diverse views. The concepts and proposals expressed by individual speakers do not constitute our program; they are merely a starting point for a broader discussion about our future - wrote Jarosław Kaczyński on social media.

- The same applies to the conference materials distributed during the event. The salt of democracy is discussion and the exchange of arguments. And this is precisely what we are doing - we are working for Poland - emphasized the PiS leader.

Dyskusja programowa na Konwencji #MyślącPolska w Katowicach to debaty ludzi często o różnych wrażliwościach i rozmaitych poglądach. Koncepcje, propozycje, jakie są wyrażane przez poszczególnych mówców, nie stanowią naszego programu, a jedynie są asumptem do szerszej dyskusji o…

— Jarosław Kaczyński (@OficjalnyJK) October 24, 2025

- The European Union, with its new resources and all these new taxes, is demanding 112 billion euros from Poland over 7 years, at a time when we paid 55.5 billion euros during the current 7-year period. They are demanding twice as much. Of course, there will be propaganda that GDP is growing, that we should naturally get used to this proportion, that we are approaching net payer status. However, if this coefficient were taken into account, our contribution would be 72 billion euros. We are to pay 40 billion in new taxes - said Sebastian Kaleta at the "Thinking Poland" program convention.

- The European Commission does not present a list of countries that will make the largest contributions, but one doesn't need to be a genius to state that Poland is significantly moving towards becoming a net contributor in the European Union. We will talk about this in detail at 8 PM, but today we know that Tusk and Serafin are proposing to double Poland's contribution to the European Union in such a way that we practically become net payers, and we should be telling Poles about this today because the current government is essentially pushing Poland towards this new perspective - Sebastian Kaleta continued.

- The source of the problems we have with migration and the reason why this policy was unfortunately so effectively implemented lies in two fundamental areas. Firstly, the European Union has institutionalized a lie, and a truly brazen one at that. The best example is what the minister just mentioned; you heard what Tusk said. He stated in Brussels that he had always warned against the Green Deal. Frankly, they have become so adept at lying shamelessly that it is now an integral part of life within this institution- said Patryk Jaki at the "Thinking Poland" program convention.

"The annual indexation of 800+, housing vouchers of PLN 100k for the third child, a basic income of PLN 500 for everyone, the abolition of the tax-free allowance, a four-day work week for seniors, a guarantee of the down payment, and many other similar ideas are found in the socialist program of PiS presented today" - wrote Sławomir Mentzen on the X portal.

"And someone still wonders why I don't want to have anything to do with this plan to ultimately ruin our state?" - emphasized the Confederation leader.

Coroczna waloryzacja 800+, bony mieszkaniowe na 100k zł za trzecie dziecko, dochód podstawowy 500 zł dla każdego, likwidacja kwoty wolnej, czterodniowy tydzień pracy dla seniorów, gwarancja wkładu własnego i wiele innych podobnych pomysłów znajduje się w pokazanym dziś…

— Sławomir Mentzen (@SlawomirMentzen) October 24, 2025

- Absolutely no, we are not burying the possibility of cooperation with Mr. Sławomir Mentzen's formation. However, we are fighting for the best possible result so that we can steer the government ship without Konfederacja, without Mr. Sławomir Mentzen's formation - said Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Bartłomiej Śl>

We wrote about Mentzen's comment here.

- There seems to be some misunderstanding regarding the methodology of inviting guests and constructing panels. We have several hundred speakers here, over 130 panels, and let a hundred flowers bloom. […] These hundred flowers represent the most diverse ideas: from right to left, from all over the place – said Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Bartłomiej Ślak on TVN24, when asked about the post by the Confederation leader.

We wrote about Mentzen’s comment here.

- What is happening here in Katowice is a great brainstorming session, a profound contemplation on how Poland should look in the next five years, the next decade – he indicated.

- Just a few more hours of patience, I kindly ask for that [...] entities very well known to Poles, very well known to our voters, are joining forces, so I don't think any surprises should be expected - said Tomasz Siemoniak in the "Rozmowa PR24" program, when asked under which banner PO, Nowoczesna, and Inicjatywa Polska will operate from tomorrow.

- I don't want to reveal anything here [...] we are, of course, attached to the "Civic Platform" banner, it's nearly 25 years, but "Civic Coalition" is also 7 years old, since the local government elections in 2018 - he continued, when asked if the banner would be Civic Coalition or something completely new.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk posted on X, informing about his participation in a meeting of the coalition of the willing. The meeting is hybrid in nature. Most leaders are joining remotely. Physically present in London are: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof, and Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen.

The main topic of the meeting is further sanctions against Russia.

- It seems to me that what PiS is saying is poorly received because you can see a desire here to outbid each other on what '500 zloty for everyone' means. That is, these are the kinds of promises made when you are deep in opposition and probably have no hope of governing - Tomasz Siemoniak said on PR24 when asked about the PiS congress.

- I expected more, something more interesting. In opposition, you have time to work, to look for some original, fresh solutions, and here it's the same faces, the same ideas - he continued.

- It looks a bit like that, because there's no mention of where this money is supposed to come from, no mechanisms for growth and development are visible, so it's hard not to get that impression, just as Mr. Sławomir Mentzen says here, that it's an attempt to attract public attention with promises of transferring various funds to various places - said Tomasz Siemoniak on PR24, when asked if he agreed with Sławomir Mentzen, who wrote on X that PiS's ideas are a "plan to ultimately ruin the state".

- When something is for everyone, it's no longer politics [...] all programs for everyone have this dimension, that actually, if it's for everyone, it's for no one - he continued.

- Yes - Tomasz Siemoniak said on PR24 when asked if he was in favor of abolishing term limits in local government.

- I speak with many local government officials [...] The argument that the decision lies with the voters convinces me, that in the last local government elections [...] 40% of local government officials were replaced, so it seems to me that there is no need to insist on this - he continued.

- First, to fix the finances of the Ministry of National Defence, I will elaborate on this point shortly. Second, to reinstate reserve training, but also in a thoughtful manner. Third, we need to ensure that the Polish army is equipped with Polish military equipment. Thus, a Polish army, Polish equipment is our slogan, and not just a slogan, I expanded on this issue in Stalowa Wola, a special place. The President of Stalowa Wola, Lucjusz Nadbereżny, is with us - said Mariusz Błaszczak at the "Thinking Poland" program convention.

- Stalowa Wola is a symbol of the Polish arms industry. HSW, a company that has been rebuilt and has significant development potential, but unfortunately, our expectations diverge from the activity of the current leadership of the Ministry of National Defence when it comes to utilizing this potential of the arms industry. And the fourth point concerns a new model of civil defence - Mariusz Błaszczak continued.

- The second proposal concerns the possibility for each of us to allocate 1.5% of our taxes to the Polish Army. This system of allocating 1.5% to public benefit organizations has proven itself; just last year, it amounted to 2 billion Polish zloty. This sum was generated from the opportunities provided by this system - stated Mariusz Błaszczak at the "Thinking Poland" program convention.

- We simply need to legislate preferences for the Polish defense industry, and that will be the realization of the slogan 'Polish army, Polish equipment' - said Mariusz Błaszczak at the 'Thinking Poland' program convention.

- One must be aware that we are already in the midst of a Russian aggression situation. This is a completely fundamental matter, and the more this threat grows, the more helpless people in the Ministry of National Defence become. The amount of embarrassment there is unbelievable - said Antoni Macierewicz at the "Thinking Poland" programmatic convention.

- Prime Minister Błaszczak rightly stated that Tusk arrived and indebted Poland. Someone recently told me that Tusk is indebting Poland faster than Poland was indebted during the Gierek era. Truly, this is not a joke. This is a real problem and a gigantic trouble that translates to all areas of life in our country, including the modernization of the army - said Michał Dworczyk at the "Thinking Poland" program convention.

- "Germany and France want to take our state away" - announced Jarosław Kaczyński. A neighbor says such cases involve a madman or a Russian agent - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on the X platform.

„Niemcy i Francja chcą nam zabrać państwo” - ogłosił Jarosław Kaczyński. Sąsiadka mówi o takich przypadkach, że wariat albo ruski agent.

- We handed over two armored brigades and a lot of other equipment to Ukraine. It was a very good decision, because thanks to it, among other things, Russians are not stationed near Przemyśl and Włodawa today, but this has its consequences. Our units, some of our units, had this equipment withdrawn - said Michał Dworczyk at the “Thinking Poland” program convention.

- I am convinced that despite the renewed reduction that we will likely have to face. There will probably be a certain reduction in the American presence, which, thanks to the special relationship that has been maintained and further developed by President Nawrocki, will hopefully affect Poland to the smallest extent. This is already a foundation of European security into which Poland integrates through a certain synergy in building our capabilities - said Tomasz Szatkowski at the "Thinking Poland" program convention.

- This was the last board meeting where we decided on the future of the formation itself. Tomorrow, the merger, tomorrow a historic step for Civic Platform, but also for Initiative of Poland, for Modern. In the case of Civic Platform, this name remains important to us and will be our history, while KO is a name we have used for many years, which leads us to victory - stated Cezary Tomczyk on TVP Info.

- We're sending a clear signal that unity is needed. I think this is also a clear signal for the entire political scene. It's better to be together than separate, it's better to win together, because together we are simply stronger - stated Cezary Tomczyk on TVP Info.

- I believe that KO is a project that will develop by force of circumstances. We will invite more circles, but what those circles will be will depend on the dynamics of politics in Poland - stated Cezary Tomczyk on TVP Info.

- I believe that President Kaczyński, and I think this is the truth, not in the comparisons you present, but rather in the fact that Jarosław Kaczyński is currently battling Konfederacja for voters, because PiS is regularly losing support to Konfederacja, Mr. Braun's Korona, and that is the challenge today - stated Cezary Tomczyk on TVP Info.

- Jarosław Kaczyński is trying to be radical today in order to retain voters, because this world is changing, this world is moving away from him. He still doesn't know that he has lost primacy on the right. Today, Mr. Nawrocki holds primacy on the right - he continued.
