Cienkowska Responds:

Is Tusk Plotting Against You?

- Against me? [...] No, I have very good relations with the Prime Minister. I have been given concrete tasks to carry out, concrete goals to achieve [...] when I summarized the things that have been accomplished over the last three months, these 100 days, it's really not bad - said Marta Cienkowska on TOK FM, when asked, 'Is Tusk plotting against you?'.

Bogucki on the Ziobro Case:

Political Vendetta.

"Not every citizen is accused and prosecuted by a prosecutor from the National Public Prosecutor's Office. Not everyone faces charges of a political nature. Not everyone faces charges of the kind that, in the case of Minister Ziobro, he allegedly transferred PLN 14 million from the State Treasury for the renovation of a prosecutor's office, which is a State Treasury unit, and for this received charges of acting to the detriment of the State Treasury. What is illegal? That we transfer funds from the State Treasury to the State Treasury?" - said Zbigniew Bogucki in the WP program "Tłit".

"There is no breach of public finance discipline there. There is no action contrary to the law, because that law allowed it. We are dealing with a political vendetta" - he assessed.

Bogucki:

Ziobro Cannot Count on a Fair Trial in Poland

- Can one count on a fair trial in Poland today? Do those who accuse, I mean the prosecutors, have legitimacy to do so today? - Zbigniew Bogucki said on the WP program "Tłit".

- In both cases, the answer is negative, because it is not true that one can count on a fair trial, because, for example, Minister Żurek wants to politically appoint judges to rule in specific cases, [...] and the prosecutors working on this case, [...] are presenting documents, charges, these are people appointed by a person who is not the National Prosecutor. I am talking about Mr. Korneluk - he continued.

Asked if he believes Zbigniew Ziobro should return to Poland, he replied: - One can submit to a process and verification in any matter, and everyone should do so when they can count on a fair trial. In this case, Minister Zbigniew Ziobro cannot count on a fair trial.

When pressed whether he thought it would be better for Ziobro to stay in Hungary, he stated: - This is not a matter of my assessment as the head of the Presidential Chancellery. This is a matter of my assessment as a lawyer. That is your opinion [that he should stay in Hungary]; I am talking about the pathological situation in Poland regarding the justice system.

Gliński Announces a Series of Programmatic Meetings:

5,731 Registered for Military Training: Deputy Minister Explains How It Works

- I will answer you right away. I also prepared this for our conversation; it's information from 40 minutes ago, that currently, we have a total of 5,731 people registered for this training since yesterday. That's in essence, 23 hours, who have registered for this training, so it's a very large number, because so far, over, for example, 2 years, if we're talking about various trainings, it was tens of thousands of people - said Cezary Tomczyk in "Polityczne Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- What we presented yesterday is a complete system concerning training, and I would like us to differentiate between two things, as it is often confused, especially on the internet. The first part is defensive training, which covers training in civil defense as well as basics like survival or paramedical elements related to the military. So, these are trainings without weapons; these are trainings that concern how the head of a family could behave in a threat situation and what one needs to know about basic security matters - the Deputy Minister of Defense continued.

- There is a second path that we announced, which is of fundamental importance to the military; it is reserve training, and these are already military trainings, specialist trainings. So, the basic course for military training is 28 days, and this is either voluntary basic military service, or "holidays with the army," or training from the outset assuming that someone will become a reservist after the training - Cezary Tomczyk continued.

Proposed Changes to Depoliticize Media: Cienkowska on the Media Act and Potential Talks with the President

- I agree that trust in public media is non-existent. And that's precisely why we so desperately need this media act. [...] This act, and the changes we are proposing, will depoliticize media, remove it from party influence, provide stable financing, and ensure the independence of media company authorities - Marta Cienkowska stated on TOK FM.

- The President, if he is a responsible person... - she continued, when asked if the President shares this view.

- It is very difficult to get to him [...] he is, after all, a very busy man - she went on, when pressed about whether she had spoken with the President.

- When the situation arises where we have completed social consultations, inter-ministerial consultations, and the bill passes the Sejm, because for now, there's nothing definitive to discuss. We have the initial assumptions, I know what I want to achieve - she added, when asked, "should we appeal to the President to grant the minister an audience to discuss the media act?"

- I would like to show the President a bill that has been consulted with societal expectations, first and foremost - she emphasized.

"In Tusk's State, Anything is Possible'. Gliński on Ziobro's potential arrest upon return to Poland

- In Tusk's state, anything is possible. Didn't you see what was done with the forceful, brutal takeover of public media? Who entered by force? Didn't you see who was drilling locks at the prosecutor's office? They are capable of doing anything - stated Piotr Gliński on RMF FM.

Cienkowska Reveals the Amount:

We Managed to Make Very Significant Savings in Public Media.

- Thanks to this liquidation process [...] we managed to make very significant savings in public media. We managed to change the management system - said Marta Cienkowska in a conversation with Jacek Żakowski on "Poranek TOK FM," when asked about the results of the audit in public media.

- We saved 586 million last year. [...] Compared to the previous year. And these savings stem from, for example, a reduction in management staff, which was too bloated during the Law and Justice era. [...] There were various pathologically constructed contracts and a subcontracting system - she continued.

Tomczyk Mocks Ziobro's Explanations:

And I Received a Signal That I Will Win the Lottery.

- And I received a signal yesterday that I will win the lottery. Everyone can choose their line of defense, and many people in detention centers and prisons believe they are innocent. This is a simple matter; one only needs to prove their innocence in court, and the prosecutor's task is to prove the guilt they are postulating before the court. This is how a normal procedure works. - stated Cezary Tomczyk on Polsat News' "Polityczne Graffiti."


08:17

Gliński:

No One in Poland Believes in a Fair Court

- This man issued some decree, and I don't believe there will be a fair court, and no one in Poland believes in a fair court - stated Piotr Gliński on RMF FM.


08:13

Gliński:

Tusk Decides Who Goes to Prison

- In a country where politicians become judges and judges become politicians, nothing can be certain. This is a very serious situation. The government, Donald Tusk, decides who goes to prison, how prosecutors are to act, the prosecution has been illegally taken over, and the courts have been devastated - stated Piotr Gliński on RMF FM.

- I don't know [what Zbigniew Ziobro will do] because Zbyszek Ziobro does not contact me, but I think the authorities know, at least from what I know. Yesterday, Minister Ziobro was in the media, saying the situation is dynamic - he continued.


08:06

Tomczyk:

For Ziobro to Prove His Innocence, He Must Stand Trial

- We have immunity, behind which Zbigniew Ziobro stands today. This immunity, I am absolutely convinced, will be lifted today, and then let him explain himself before a court, because that is the stage where one can prove their innocence, and every Polish man, every Polish woman would have to go through the same procedure normally - said Cezary Tomczyk in "Polityczne Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- For Mr. Ziobro to be able to prove his innocence, naturally assuming the presumption of innocence, he must stand before a court - Cezary Tomczyk continued.
