– Domański's Promotion in Civic Coalition?:

I Won't Shirkin'

- We'll see. Rather rumors [regarding vice-chairmanship of KO], decisions are made by the National Council, the chairman. I'm not focusing on so-called positions. There's a lot of work to be done - stated Andrzej Domański in TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" (Piasecki's Conversation).

- Of course, a party position, parliamentary backing, matter to every minister, including the Minister of Finance and Economy. It's good to know that a party, a strong club like ours in parliament, stands behind a minister, but of course, these are not the most important things. I won't shirk - he continued.


08:01

Domański:

All Facts Point to a Major PiS Scandal

- The CPK (Central Communication Port) of course has funds. We are dealing here with a huge PiS scandal. This is point one, I think, a very significant one. The facts here are simply dramatically bad for PiS. A plot of land sold for a fraction of its value in the final days of PiS's rule, when they knew they would hand over power in literally a few days. All the facts point to a major PiS scandal - stated Andrzej Domański in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.


08:04

"Poland Can Afford This Investment'. Domański on CPK

- Let's remember that we inherited zero economic growth and high inflation from PiS. Now inflation is low, and growth is accelerating. Poland can afford this investment [CPK], Poland will implement it - stated Andrzej Domański in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


08:15

Domański:

They Had 8 Years and Achieved Practically Nothing. PiS is the Party of Unfulfilled Promises

- PiS, I will insist on this, is the party of unfulfilled promises. It's a party whose prime minister promised hundreds of thousands of apartments, the 'Lux Torpeda' [a high-speed train project], the first Polish nuclear power plant was promised, and what's left? The Vistula Spit canal and that's it, and they had 8 years and achieved practically nothing. PiS is the party of unfulfilled electoral promises - stated Andrzej Domański in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


08:20

Berek on Science Funding:

Funding Should Be Allocated to Maximize the Effectiveness of Centers Achieving the Best Results.

- Funding should be allocated in such a way that the centers achieving the best results can operate most effectively. These results in science are measured in two ways - said Maciej Berek in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on "Poranek TOK FM".

- Firstly, it's about ensuring that those fields of science that have, and the vast majority of scientific fields have, contact with the so-called external world, that these scientific centers and the employees of these scientific centers are able to find a link to the external world - he continued.


08:22

Will a Budget Amendment Be Necessary? Finance Minister Responds

- I don't see the necessity for amending the budget law this year. So, of course, revenues for this year are lower due to lower inflation, but on the other hand, we have so-called natural savings, we are effectively spending Polish taxpayers' funds, thanks to which we will stay within the deficit limit - stated Andrzej Domański on TVN24's „Rozmowa Piaseckiego”.


08:25

Ardanowski:

If Ziobro Were Convicted, He Would Become a Martyr

- If Ziobro were convicted, he would automatically become a martyr in the fight against the current authorities - said Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski in Super Express's “Morning Ring”.


08:28

Berek on Budget Consolidation:

If at the outset these extra-budgetary funds amount to hundreds of billions, it won't be done in a year or two.

"Minister Domański is very firmly trying to implement the principle that budget consolidation means reducing extra-budgetary financing. During the PiS government's tenure, we essentially had a second parallel budget. [...] We still have it, but it's becoming smaller and smaller" - said Maciej Berek on TOK FM.

"This is the consolidation, meaning we are moving funds from extra-budgetary funds, which are outside formal parliamentary control [...] to the state budget" - he continued.

"If at the outset these extra-budgetary funds amount to hundreds of billions, it won't be done in the span of one or two years" - he added.


08:33

Wipler:

We Cannot Enter a Coalition With Anyone Who Won't Give Us Control Over the ABW

- Everything indicates that if we don't want to be a subordinate partner to anyone ever, we must fight to form a government with someone who, among other things, will give Konfederacja the position of Prime Minister. But the position itself isn't important. Programmatic issues are important - said Przemysław Wipler in the 'Morning Interview' on RMF FM.

- I am deeply convinced that we cannot enter a coalition with anyone who will not give us control over the Internal Security Agency - he indicated, when asked about the services.

- The rest are programmatic issues - he added.


08:38

Wipler as Minister? "If God wills it and the nation allows, I will not shy away"

- If God wills it and the nation allows, I will not shy away - said Przemysław Wipler in the RMF FM "Morning Interview," when asked if he would soon be addressed as "Mr. Minister."

- I won't talk about my dreams publicly, because then they don't come true. [...] I don't dream of being Minister of Culture, I am certainly not interested in anything like that - he stated.


08:41

Berek:

Senior Vouchers and Long-Term Care Projects Need Acceleration

- I have several meetings every week with various ministers, with whom we discuss priorities. Yesterday, we spoke with Minister Kotula, Minister Okła-Drewnowicz, and Minister Porowska about the projects they are leading, which are important in the context of our political commitments, as well as commitments arising from the KPO - said Maciej Berek on TOK FM.

- For example, we discussed the senior voucher and long-term care, and the fact that these are projects whose work must be accelerated, as we are approaching deadlines. We spoke with the Ministry of Funds about energy solutions, verifying what the deadline is from the perspective of the European Commission's expectations - he continued.


08:41

Wipler:

Braun, in principle, is not interested in governing, but in proclaiming certain thoughts and ideas

- Grzegorz Braun, in principle, is not really interested in governing, but in proclaiming certain thoughts and ideas. I don't think he would feel comfortable as someone who has to sign hundreds of documents every day and make several personnel decisions - said Przemysław Wipler in the "Morning Conversation" on RMF FM.


08:46

Ardanowski:

PiS Should Apologize for Foolishness Within its Own Governments

- Law and Justice should apologize for all the foolishness that occurred within PiS governments, related to the Green Deal and grain from Ukraine, and I will repeat once more, various stupidities like "5 for Animals," which unfortunately has returned in some form in the recent vote concerning fur animals, and a portion of MPs, once again due to infantile ideas and the convictions of Jarosław Kaczyński and his phobias related to animals, voted against the matters of the countryside, against its interests. Perhaps if there were some explanations, some apologies, some atonement, then regaining trust might be realistic - said Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski in the "Morning Ring" of Super Express.


08:46

Ardanowski on the Mink Fur Farming Ban:

Theft, Banditry, Bolshevism in its Purest Form.

- They start with a species of animal for which arguments like it being immoral, unethical, and furs being unnecessary are easier to push through, to make people believe it. But the bill's creators did not hide the fact that this is a model law, which will be the beginning of the rebuilding of animal farming or whatever other words they used, agriculture in Poland. So, soon it will be chickens and calves, meat, milk, and so on - said Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski in Super Express's “Poranny Ring.”

- Incidentally, it's very important for disposal. If there are no minks, the cost of disposing of waste from poultry and fish slaughterhouses will be between one and one and a half billion, and a German company that has taken over the entire disposal system in Poland will profit from it. But setting that aside, if someone legally wants to take something away from someone, to liquidate it, they must be compensated for it. And do you know how much compensation will be for those who voluntarily, not waiting 8 years, but voluntarily give up these minks? 25% of the value of what they breed, 20%, and 5% less in the next 4 years. This is theft, this is banditry, this is Bolshevism in its purest form - Ardanowski continued.


08:52

Premier Mentzen or Premier Bosak? Wipler: Both are very good candidates

- Both [Krzysztof Bosak and Sławomir Mentzen] are very good candidates [for Prime Minister]. This will be the subject of a decision by the Confederation's Leaders' Council. We are not counting our chickens before they hatch, we don't have these kinds of agreements - said Przemysław Wipler in the 'Morning Interview' on RMF FM.


08:58

New Recording on the President's Profile:

He Promised to Keep American Soldiers in Poland and He Kept That Promise.

- The United States has announced a reduction in its military presence in Europe. However, this decision does not concern Poland. This is no accident. It is the result of the determination and effective diplomacy of President Karol Nawrocki - said the narrator in a recording published on the #Nawrocki2025 profile on X.

- President Karol Nawrocki promised during his campaign that he would keep American soldiers in Poland, and he has kept that promise. This is proof of trust, it is the fruit of strong relations between Poland and the United States - he continued.


09:03

Wipler:

We Visit the Presidential Palace More Often Than During Duda's Presidency

- I think we visit [the Presidential Palace] more often than during President Andrzej Duda's presidency - said Przemysław Wipler in RMF FM's "Morning Interview."

- A large part of politics is cabinet politics, it's behind-the-scenes meetings, and these are things that are not naturally spoken about publicly - he added.


09:24

MKIiDN Proposes Major Changes: Cienkowska Advocates for Abolishing RMN and Reveals Public Media Funding

- What lies ahead? We wanted this act and the text of this act and amendments to the act to be based on truly three pillars. The first is the independence of authorities, the second - financial stability, and the third - limiting the press publishing by local government units - stated Marta Cienkowska at a press conference at the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (MKiDN).

- Firstly, contests, secondly, contests, and thirdly - contests again. We need transparent contests based on competency criteria. Every candidate chosen for bodies involved with public media must, above all, meet the requirements of being apolitical and an expert. What does this mean? Apolitical means, among other things, not belonging to a political party for 5 years prior to the moment of candidacy, not holding a position in a political party, and not having run in general elections for at least 10 years - said the Minister of Culture.

- Regarding the National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT), we envision it consisting of 9 members appointed for 6-year terms with a rotating composition, with one-third of the members replaced every 2 years. The Sejm will elect 4 members, the Senate 2, and the President 3. Additional requirements will, of course, include the support of industry non-governmental organizations - she noted.

- As for the management boards of media companies, we plan for a single-person management board, appointed for 5 years by the apolitical KRRiT upon the recommendation of a competition committee. Who will sit on the competition committee? Firstly, members of the Supervisory Board, and in the case of national companies, 2 members of the Programme Council, and in the case of regional companies - one member of the Programme Council - said Cienkowska.

- We plan to abolish the National Media Council. Its duties will be taken over by the KRRiT - she stated.

- We will propose PLN 2.5 billion in stable funding from the budget, naturally supplemented by indexation for inflation. This is an amount we have managed to work out, also after the audit of TVP, in talks with the Ministry of Finance, out of concern for the state budget, but also after internal discussions concerning, for example, the necessary changes in the mission statement - she said.

- No more license fees, the radio and television license fee is absolutely ineffective - added the Minister of Culture.


09:33

When Will the Liquidation of Public Media End? According to the Minister of Culture, Not Soon

- I will answer the first question. The liquidation of public media will be concluded when the new law comes into force and when we will be able to implement changes, public media will be completely depoliticized, they will have new operating principles, we will have new management, a new budget, stable financing - stated Marta Cienkowska at a press conference at the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (MKiDN).


11:25

Ministry of Justice for Konfederacja? Wipler on a Possible Coalition Condition

- I am deeply convinced, and my colleagues from Konfederacja, when I talk to them, are also convinced, that we cannot afford not to take responsibility for the Ministry of Justice, because we have no reason to cover our tracks, only a reason and a challenge to fix this situation. Setting political conditions two years before elections is very unwise. At most, two years - stated Przemysław Wipler on TV Republika.


11:43

Śliwka Inquires About Connection Between Trzaskowski Campaign Donations and Sold Plot of Land

- Why, despite having the authority and the opportunity to repurchase, did the current ruling team do nothing in this regard for two years? And here the question must be asked, and through your program, I think it's worth asking, whether the political relations of the Polish People's Party (PSL) and Civic Platform politicians with the Wielgomas family, who donated hundreds of thousands of zlotys to the campaign of Rafał Trzaskowski, the candidate of the December 13 coalition, and whose company, Dawtona Campus Polska Przyszłości, also financed them, are not linked to this matter - said Andrzej Śliwka in the "Sedno Sprawy" (The Core of the Matter) program on Radio Plus.


11:45

PiS MP Appeals to Confederation to Attack the Government:

The Enemy Isn’t on the Right.

- I would really like to appeal to our colleagues from Confederation, that the enemy is not on the right. If they truly want things to change in Poland, if they want Poland to be a safe, developing country, I propose that they attack the current ruling coalition - said Andrzej Śliwka in “Sedno Sprawy” on Radio Plus.


11:45

Śliwka Accuses Head of KOWR and PSL MP of Disregarding the Case of the Sold Plot

- Yesterday, during a parliamentary inspection at the Ministry of Agriculture, I reviewed the complete set of documents, and I hope it was indeed the complete set of documents that were made available to us. Regarding the correspondence between CPK, KOWR, and the Ministry of Agriculture, I can honestly say that this is a very outrageous situation, because the head of KOWR, Director KOWR, Mr. MP Smolarz, which is also a scandal given that he earns thousands of zlotys there, has done nothing on this matter for two years, and I will say more. He pretended not to see the problem in this matter. He received reminders from the Central Communication Port, and he responded to them in such an impudent way that it's hardly worth discussing - said Andrzej Śliwka in "Sedno Sprawy" on Radio Plus.


11:47

Śliwka:

Kaczyński Approaches Confederation Politicians with an Open Heart

- President Jarosław Kaczyński approaches politicians from the Confederation with an open heart - said Andrzej Śliwka in "Sedno Sprawy" on Radio Plus.


12:17

Mentzen Converts on CPK? Suggestion from a PiS MP

- I am pleased by Mr. Sławomir Mentzen's conversion, because as an attentive observer of the political scene, you will recall that Sławomir Mentzen questioned the sense of this investment [CPK]. Of course, after public opinion decided that CPK is a valuable program, Sławomir Mentzen changed his mind - said Andrzej Śliwka in "Sedno Sprawy" on Radio Plus.


12:19

Tusk:

The President's Colleague Seeks Asylum. But from a German?

Prime Minister Donald Tusk added a post on the X portal stating:

"The president's colleague, 'Wielki Bu,' is afraid of the Polish justice system, and rightly so. He's seeking asylum. I understand. But from a German?!"

He was referring to Patryk M., known as 'Wielki Bu,' who is awaiting extradition and has filed an application for political asylum in Germany. 'Wielki Bu' became a topic in the presidential campaign after it was revealed that he knows Karol Nawrocki personally.


12:53

Indictment Against PiS MP: Prosecutor's Spokesperson Details Case

- A prosecutor has filed an indictment with the District Court in Szczecin in an investigation concerning irregularities in the Fundusz Sprawiedliwości (Justice Fund) against 8 individuals. Among the accused is MP Dariusz M. and two presidents of associations who collaborated with him - said Przemysław Nowak, spokesperson for the National Public Prosecutor's Office, at a press conference.

- This indictment concerns the so-called Szczecin thread, meaning the cooperation of MP Dariusz M. and two presidents of Szczecin-based associations with officials from the Ministry of Justice, one could say, in manipulating three competitions for grants from the Justice Fund - he continued.

- The funds obtained in this manner, totaling 16 million zlotys, were subsequently misappropriated by these individuals, acting jointly and in concert, in essence, by being spent in a manner inconsistent with the agreements - he elaborated.

- Dariusz M. has been charged by the prosecutor with committing a total of 6 offenses. The first three are related precisely to these three competitions. Two further charges are additionally connected with fictitious employment in the State Forests and obtaining benefits amounting to nearly half a million zlotys from this, and the sixth charge concerns money laundering, of part of the money originating from the crime to the detriment of the Justice Fund - he added.


13:17

Regarding Dariusz M.'s Work at State Forests:

This Employment Was Fictional." Prosecutor on "Falsified Evidence

- Part of this evidence [of employment at State Forests], as we believe, was falsified. All this evidence was presented to us by [Dariusz M.]. The prosecutor assessed this evidence and concluded, and still concludes, that this employment was fictional, at least to a significant extent. The court will decide - said the press spokesman for the National Prosecutor's Office, Przemysław Nowak, at a press conference.


13:58

"PO is a Disgusting Party." Kaczyński on CPK and "Deceptive Propaganda"

- It is not a catastrophe. Madam, it was a plot of no strategic importance, and besides, the agreement completely guaranteed the interests of the state, those who wanted to build it, and everything else is simply deceptive propaganda, the kind that is disgusting, but characteristic of PO, because it is a disgusting party - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with journalists in Krynica.

- I haven't heard and I have no desire to hear, because the fact that someone behaves like that, while being the Prime Minister of Poland, is painful for every Pole who has any sense of dignity - the PiS chairman continued.


14:25

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Those who today employ anti-German and anti-Ukrainian rhetoric are acting against the interests of the Polish state

- The threat is from the east, the threat is from the Russian Federation, the pressure on the Polish border is on the Polish-Belarusian border, there is an attempt every day to illegally cross the border [...] Polish airspace is being violated from there - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in a statement to the media.

- Today, MiG-29s intercepted a Russian reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea, just as yesterday, today there was a huge attack on Ukraine, all our forces and means were scrambled - he continued.

- The threat is from that direction. Those who today employ anti-German, anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, stirring up such sentiments, are acting against the interests of the Polish state - he went on to say.


17:07

Orban Received Ziobro for a Meeting:

We Live in Absurd Times.

- Justice for Poland! The Polish right has achieved a huge victory in the presidential elections. Since then, the pro-Brussels Polish government has launched a political witch hunt against it. Today, I met with former Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro in Budapest - informed Viktor Orban.

- The Polish government is trying to have him arrested. All this is happening in the heart of Europe, while Brussels remains silent. We live in absurd times... - wrote the Hungarian Prime Minister.


17:32

Ziobro in Budapest - Tusk Comments

- Either in custody or in Budapest - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on social media.


19:06

Ziobro on Conversation with Orbán:

I Assured Him That Tusk's Government Is Nearing Its End.

- A week ago, I announced that I was going to Budapest at an invitation for the premiere of the film "Seizing Power" by editor Tulicki. We showed our Hungarian friends what Tusk's government truly is – how it breaks the law and the constitution, how it illegally seized public media, turning them into its own propaganda mouthpiece, and how it criminally subjugated the prosecution and oversight of courts to influence verdicts - wrote Zbigniew Ziobro on social media.

- In Budapest, I was also invited to a previously unplanned meeting with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. We discussed general political matters. I congratulated him on defending Hungary's sovereignty and identity. I assured him that Tusk's government is nearing its end and that Poland will once again be a sovereign state - the former minister added.


19:57

Tusk on announced acceleration of accountability:

Witches are a fact.

- This joke of mine about another course and dessert is a clear announcement of a significant acceleration of accountability - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.

- You won't persuade me to start a witch hunt here, although witches are a fact. Meaning, PiS politicians who shamelessly robbed Poland for the past 8 years, without any moderation - he continued.


20:00

Tusk:

It's Not About Retaliation or Revenge; I'm Not a Vengeful Person

- I want to tell you – there will be a continuation, and it's not simple. Do you know why it's not simple? Because Minister Żurek or Minister Bodnar is not named Ziobro, and I am not named Kaczyński. This is not about retaliation or revenge; I'm not a vengeful person. This is about ensuring that justice truly prevails - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.


20:06

Tusk on Żurek's Temperament:

Allows Him to Not See Obstacles.

- We spoke a minute ago, before our show started, and you yourself mentioned the grim results of the audits in public media, the gigantic, completely unjustified earnings of people who worked for PiS, and we are encountering these kinds of things, which were either in line with procedures, making them very difficult for the prosecution, for those who oversee these matters, or just plain, very trivial thefts or abuses. Of course, the story continues. Minister Żurek has that temperament that allows him to not see obstacles - said Donald Tusk on TVP Info's “Gość 19:30”.

- Knowing what I was doing, when I decided to entrust the role of Minister of Justice to Mr. Adam Bodnar, I knew what I was doing, and he was a great minister, I say this with full conviction, with a different temperament and slightly different priorities. Minister Bodnar deeply believed, and this was also connected with the perspective of the presidential elections, that when a change occurred in the Presidential Palace, a thorough reform would be possible, restoring not only decency and justice systematically and structurally, but restoring norms, law, fair procedures, so that no one could steal anymore, in accordance with or contrary to procedures - Tusk continued.


20:10

Tusk on Accusations Against Him:

I Can't [Stop] All of PiS...

- I don't know [if Zbigniew Ziobro will stay in Hungary]. I just want to say, because sometimes I read: oh, they let him escape. I can't [stop] all of the Law and Justice (PiS) politicians, whom we rightly suspect of bad deeds, we cannot tell them, forbid them from leaving, until there is a court decision on this matter - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.


20:15

Tusk on the work of the prosecutor's office:

Sometimes we are dealing with outright sabotage.

- That the prosecutor's office works at its own pace - I don't want to demotivate them, but of course in very many places in the prosecutor's office we find people who work either very slowly, or - for various reasons - bad routine, I won't say laziness, a complicated case, a multitude of cases on their desk - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.

- But also sometimes we are dealing with outright sabotage. Because the prosecutor's office has been permeated by Mr. Ziobro's ideology, and not all prosecutors - I am speaking very delicately - are truly as engaged as they should be in clarifying these matters - he stated.


20:17

Tusk on Information Leak from the Prosecutor's Office:

This Worries Me.

- An investigation is underway and the prosecutor's office will decide. It is something that worries me continuously, that in many places, including the prosecutor's office, information is leaking. Leaking. In the sense of confidential and not entirely permissible information, to be completely honest, but I will not influence the prosecutor's office - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.


20:18

Ziobro Tapped PiS Politicians - Tusk's Clear Suggestion

- But also large-scale surveillance. Of ordinary people too, of his own people too. Ziobro is clever, he really knew what he was doing. We won't be surprised if on this list of people monitored by Mr. Ziobro using various methods, there will also be PiS politicians - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.


20:20

Tusk on the New Reading:

We've Truly Stifled Inflation.

- Tomorrow will bring a new inflation reading. We all agree it will remain at this 3% level, perhaps slightly below, meaning we have truly stifled inflation - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.


20:23

Tusk Discusses His Friendship with Orbán

- I never had as good relations with anyone as I did when we were young and were friends with Viktor Orbán from the early 90s. Everything is clear between us, we have different views on every matter, on every issue. For Viktor Orbán, the main problem is Brussels, it's Europe, democracy, a transparent justice system, free media, and fortunately, the democratic opposition in Hungary has also become his problem - said Donald Tusk on TVP Info's "Gość 19:30".

- However, Russia is not a problem for him at all, Russia's attack on Ukraine is not a problem for him at all, and neither is the oligarchic system he has built in Hungary - Tusk continued.


20:27

Tusk:

I Have Emissaries Everywhere

- I have emissaries everywhere. I have to, because I feel responsible not only for what is happening right now, but also for 2027. I said I can take bets that we will win these elections, and it's not pride speaking - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.

- We are working hard, I am absolutely convinced that the fact that we have a clearly better position today than our main opponent, PiS, also results from the fact that I think more and more people appreciate that a government that doesn't steal, Poland has a good reputation, is stable, we are spending so much on security, that sooner or later this will reach every citizen - he continued.


20:29

Tusk on Poland as a Democratic Country:

Any Election Outcome is Possible.

- Yes, meaning as long as I am Prime Minister, Poland will be a democratic country, and that means any election outcome is possible. But my task is, without violating the rules of democracy, to defeat my opponents, and I will defeat them - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info.


20:31

Tusk Explains His Words on the European Convention on Human Rights:

It's a Misunderstanding.

- This is some kind of misunderstanding - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info, when asked if Poland would withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights.

- There was a significant piece [published], speaking about Poland again, exclusively in superlatives, in "The Sunday Times", the largest opinion newspaper in Great Britain. And it was also based on conversations with me. Unnecessarily [my words caused consternation]. I mean, I take responsibility for it, but I will explain immediately - he continued.

- The journalists who spoke with me were talking about how in Great Britain, all political forces agree that the human rights convention was written several decades ago and some of its provisions are inadequate to the current situation regarding migrants. For example, it is impossible to deport migrants who are criminals. And changing the convention, it is necessary, it is a very difficult process - he explained.

"I am the last person who can be accused of indifference to human rights"

- Please be calm. I am the last person who can be accused of indifference to human rights. But as Prime Minister, and I am not alone here, before every European Council meeting, we have a meeting – currently it’s already 15 Prime Ministers or Presidents from the European Union – and before every EC meeting, we consider how to persuade all partners in another institution, which is the Council of Europe […], to seriously consider how to reform and change various types of conventions and treaties so that they correspond to reality - he continued.
