The Sejm (lower house of parliament) will resume its proceedings at 9:00 AM with procedural votes, followed by a series of questions on current affairs. At 11:15 AM, at the request of the Civic Coalition (KO) club, it will hear a current information report on the effectiveness of the Polish government in negotiations concerning the so-called migration pact.

Sikorski Continues in Brussels

Today marks the second day of the visit of Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski to Brussels. "I will present the sabotage in Poland at the EU Foreign Affairs Council forum," announced the Deputy Prime Minister.

Kosiniak-Kamysz with Norwegian Deputy Defence Minister

At 9:00 AM, Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz will participate in a conference dedicated to the "Kaszubia – Green Industrial District" project. The conference will be combined with the signing of the Baltic Declaration by the Minister of National Defence and the State Secretary of the Norwegian Ministry of Defence, Marte Gerhardsen, as well as letters of intent concerning cooperation within the "Kaszubia" project.

Constitutional Tribunal on KRS Amendment

At 10:00 AM, the Constitutional Tribunal will consider the President's motion regarding the Act amending the Act on the National Council of the Judiciary. This is a motion authored by former President Andrzej Duda, who referred the act to the Constitutional Tribunal for preventive control. The adjudicating panel will consist of Bogdan Święczkowski and Krystyna Pawłowicz.

"Unfortunately, we have such presidential officials who remain in the active roles of politicians, as if they were members of parliament, and their sole mission is to attack the government," said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on "Poranek TOK FM," when asked about Marcin Przydacz blaming him, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Prime Minister for the escape of saboteurs.

"It's not just Mr. Przydacz, Mr. Bogucki, who are actually competing in this kind of assessment completely detached from reality. I don't recall, for instance, Mr. Przydacz ever addressing the fact that Minister Błaszczak didn't know for many months about the missile that a tourist found while riding a horse in the forest," he continued.

"The dream would be to act substantively in such matters," he added.

- I do not expect the President to downplay the threat from the East. However, closing one's eyes to what is happening in the European Union, the European Commission, and generally pretending that everything is working well in the EU is a mistaken policy - Anna Bryłka said on Radio Republika.

- Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski, however, fails to see what is happening at the EU level. I am referring primarily to the post-treaty expansion of EU competences - she pointed out.

As she continued: - I have no intention of closing my eyes to what is happening in the EU and not speaking out loudly about the threat Poland faces in the EU today. I don't know if these debates taking place in the EC are not reaching the Polish political class. I don't know if it hasn't sunk in that last week the European Parliament, and earlier the Council of the EU, voted for another climate target for 2040 - a 90% reduction in emissions.

- Prime Minister Sikorski is very active on some issues, and on others, he is not very active. We had a debate all weekend about Polish-German relations, stemming from two reasons: the post by the German ambassador to Poland, who essentially called anyone expecting any satisfaction or reparations from Germany for the harm and damage caused during World War II a Putin collaborator – and there was no reaction from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this regard – Anna Bryłka stated on Radio Republika.

- In reality, it was only after this auction was publicized by journalists, at the auction house that intended to trade and put up for auction memorabilia, and it turned out that these were simply items belonging to victims of German extermination camps, that after two days of media debate, there was some intervention from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – she stated.

In her opinion: - Where swift action by Polish diplomacy is needed, that action is absent. When unfavorable trade agreements need to be blocked, that action is absent. It's only when there's a need to internally stir up some debate, polarization between one side and the other, that Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski becomes very active.

- President Nawrocki receives full materials from the services, and we are dealing with enormous professionalism from the services, ABW, Police, and the prosecution - said Tomasz Siemoniak on TOK FM.

- Please, I appeal to all politicians, respect this, meaning, attack us, the politicians, please do, it is unfortunately inherent in Polish public debate, but to deny professionalism to Polish services... - he continued.

- Yes, but as if for the services, yes, this is perverse, yes, it's not Siemoniak and Sikorski who stood on an embankment or in a forest, or chased criminals, but the services do it - he continued, after the host pointed out that Marcin Przydacz had attacked politicians.

- Please remember that two Polish hooligans from the Legia Warsaw environment were used in the attack on Alexei Navalny's close associate in Vilnius, Mr. Volkov. Was Poland responsible for that? - said Marcin Bosacki in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.

- No, Russian services were responsible for that. Other Poles were used to attempt to blow up the Hungarian cultural center in Uzhhorod in Ukraine, in order to stir up trouble in relations between Ukraine and Hungary; several Poles were hired for this purpose. Russians use this tactic to avoid direct traces of their activities, so they prefer not to use Russians for this, but rather representatives of other nationalities, who are bribed - Marcin Bosacki continued.

- Following the events of the weekend, it is even clearer than ever who is truly the opponent, who is truly an enemy of Poland, who threatens our security, and potentially also our sovereignty. Minister, Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski, by saying what he said yesterday in the Sejm, wanted to tell all Polish nationalists, not just the president, to look for real enemies where they are, meaning in the East, and not imaginary ones in the West where our allies are - said Marcin Bosacki in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.

- It seems to me that before these elections [in Hungary in April 2026], both of these gentlemen, or other PiS representatives who would like to seek refuge there, should rather look where their colleague Szmydt found it, meaning in Belarus - said Marcin Bosacki in “Piasecki’s Conversation” on TVN24.

- It doesn't make much sense, because let's be honest, under both governments since 2022, we have expelled or declared persona non grata actually most Russian diplomats in Poland. Both in Warsaw and we are closing their last of three consulates in Warsaw. However, a certain communication channel, both here in Warsaw and in Moscow, for our ambassador, should remain in some situations. We cannot be condemned in our dealings with Russians, even those where we tell them very tough things, to rely on the mediation of other diplomatic missions - said Marcin Bosacki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- We've already had arson attacks, attacks even on politicians' private homes, in Great Britain, we've had murders, and what happened on the tracks, where there was an evident intention to cause casualties, is a very serious escalation - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press briefing in Brussels.

"Minister Błaszczak, by demanding the resignation of Ministers Siemoniak and Kierwiński, you are making a spectacle of yourself and inviting ridicule. I would kindly remind you that Poles had to wait nearly 150 days for your reaction and action when, on December 16, 2022, in broad daylight, an unnoticed Russian Kh-55 missile flew across half of Poland and landed 16 kilometers from the center of Bydgoszcz" - wrote Jacek Dobrzyński on X.

"As the media reported, the missile carelessly hit the ground 9 km from Bydgoszcz airport, 13 km from the NATO Joint Force Training Centre, and also about 20 km from the Nitro-Chem plants, which belong to Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa. The government at the time was incredibly deaf and blind. Exactly 127 days later, on Saturday, April 22, 2023, the fallen missile was noticed by a person horse riding in the forest" - he continued in his post.

"The police, who were immediately notified, did not arrive at the scene until Monday, April 24, after the weekend. The large-scale and highly secret operation by the services only took place on Wednesday and Thursday, April 26 and 27, when the media reported that an unknown object had fallen there. The Minister of Justice confirmed this the next day, adding that it was a 'military aerial object'. Following him, the Ministry of National Defence took the floor. Not the minister, but the ministry" - he pointed out.

"Minister Błaszczak remained silent as a grave. Only on May 11 did he decide to speak on the matter of the missile. In a read statement, he accused General Piotrowski of violating procedures. That was the speed and effectiveness you had then, dear current grumblers, so I would refrain from your current lecturing and pontificating" - he concluded.

Ten wpis dedykuję ku pamięci wszystkim malkontentom, którzy atakują policjantów i funkcjonariuszy zarzucając im opieszałość.

- Of course, we support all efforts towards peace, but let us remember that Europe is currently the main supporter of Ukraine. Both financially and militarily, and Europe's security will be increased or decreased as a result of how this war ends. Therefore, as Europe, we naturally demand inclusion in these decisions, and in my opinion, it is the inability to defend the victim that should be limited, not the aggressor's capacity for aggression - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press briefing in Brussels.

- Yes, I hope for a strong, 20th sanctions package. The Russian economy is already faltering as a result of losing the best European market for its energy. Today, it has to sell oil and gas at a discount, and it has become an importer of gasoline, but we should not allow this environmental risk in the Baltic Sea, which is a fleet of scrap metal, and this is also a practice that finances Putin's war and which is in our interest to curb - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press briefing in Brussels.

- I strongly appeal to support the services, to respect the services, not to make this the subject of political warfare. This is a real threat and we all must stand behind our state services - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the Sejm.

- I wanted to apologize to Mr. Szymon Hołownia. In the last vote, when we were electing him as Deputy Speaker, I did not vote for him, I did not press the button at all. Because it was my first time doing it and I simply got lost, Szymon, I apologize - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty during a Sejm session.

- From my point of view, it has no significance whatsoever, but alcohol should generally be combatted in the Sejm. Because there are sometimes such unpleasant scenes - said Jarosław Kaczyński in the Sejm, commenting on the decision of Marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty.

- Certainly, there should be no civil war, but it is Donald Tusk who is inciting a civil war here through the persecution of the opposition and, in general, through his unbelievably scandalous behavior. This is his method of governance, so the devil himself has dressed up in a chasuble and is ringing the bells for mass with his tail - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

- Please don't joke. You are asking someone who is lying down and being kicked if they will solidarize with those who are kicking them. There is no question of it, and furthermore, in our opinion, this is simply an anti-national policy - the PiS leader continued, when asked if, for the security of the country, he would endorse the principles that Donald Tusk announced yesterday.

- Gentlemen Nawrocki, Kaczyński, and Mentzen! The leaders of your favorite German party, AfD, have just declared that Poles are the "Afro-Americans of Europe" with an eternal victim complex, that we are a greater threat than Russia, and that we have plundered Germany of its lands. I am ashamed of you! - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on social media.

Panowie Nawrocki, Kaczyński i Mentzen! Liderzy ulubionej przez was niemieckiej partii AfD właśnie oświadczyli, że Polacy są „Afroamerykanami Europy” z wiecznym kompleksem krzywdy, że jesteśmy większym zagrożeniem niż Rosja i że ograbiliśmy Niemcy z ich ziem. Wstyd mi za was!

Mateusz Morawiecki posted on the X platform with an attached video summarizing in 12 points the events related to the sabotage on the railway tracks and accusing Prime Minister Tusk of disgrace.

- 12 disgraces by D. Tusk regarding railway sabotage. See for yourself - wrote Prime Minister Morawiecki.

- Let's summarize Tusk's chaos. One. The attack is reported on Saturday at 8:68 PM by residents. Two. The police arrive but find nothing. Because it's dark and late, according to Minister Kierwiński. Three. The perpetrators have time to calmly escape to Belarus. Four. Trains pass over damaged tracks. Miraculously, a catastrophe with hundreds of victims is averted. Five. On Sunday morning, railway workers discover the tracks have been blown up. Six. Services begin to act - says the narrator in the video.

- Seven. Donald Tusk spends this time playing golf. Eight. On Sunday, 24 hours after the attack, Kierwiński's spokesperson writes "there are no grounds to speak of intentional action by third parties." Nine. The government continues to misinform - we hear further from the narrator.

- This could be someone who made a bet or some other challenge, like a modern challenge - says Krzysztof Gawkowski in the attached recording.

- Ten. Donald Tusk appears at the attack site to record a TikTok. Eleven. The next day, from the parliamentary podium, he defends his incompetent ministers. Twelve. The perpetrators of the attack are calmly sitting in Belarus. Lukashenka and Putin are laughing at us. Can Poles still feel safe? - the narrator continues.

- He's as much an AfD leader as Zembaczyński is a KO leader. You can't write a sentence without a lie - Sławomir Mentzen wrote in response to Donald Tusk's post, in which he accused Nawrocki, Kaczyński, and Mentzen himself of having good relations with the AfD.

- Another symptom of Prime Minister Tusk's very 'fresh' patriotism. It's as if to say that the leader of my favorite party once said that Polishness is abnormality... I don't care for either one - Jarosław Kaczyński wrote on social media.

- Are you ashamed to admit that one of AfD's allies claims he would prefer to negotiate coalition talks with you? Telling. (A 'Never with Mentzen' statement would be useful) - emphasized the PiS chairman.

- The fact that the Police have established nothing created a situation where any chance of apprehending those who fled Poland after carrying out the operation was wasted - said Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- Of course, I cannot say for sure that they would have been caught, because there is information, as is usual in our uncertain situation, that they had already left Poland in the evening. So, if that's the case, the decision to close border crossings and search for the suspected individuals would have been delayed. But perhaps they had not yet left Poland at that moment, and then making such a decision would have been very necessary - he continued.

- This government doesn't truly feel the state of threat [...] nor is it capable, or perhaps it doesn't want to, but it seems to me that it is simply incapable of reacting appropriately. If it does anything, it's only to create the effect of rallying around the flag, meaning to benefit from it politically - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- In the current situation, with the current shape of the government, in general with this government, Poland is simply not safe. It is practically on the verge of certainty that such actions will continue, and besides, this action also had its next installment - he continued.

- Without change, without people who, firstly, are capable, secondly, want to, and thirdly, simply take their duties seriously, don't recognize weekends, don't believe that despite very high positions, including the Prime Minister's position, they need to rest some part of the week [...] this situation, this state simply will not change - he continued speaking.

- While the Horizon operation is set to begin only tomorrow, certain things should already be done at this very moment, and all of this should be taken seriously - Jarosław Kaczyński said at a press conference.

- I don't know what the Horizon operation will look like, but I do know that if it resembles what is happening now, what has happened, the admission of these people into Poland, the lack of activity, and simply the lack of a responsible, swift decision after this information reached the authorities, which, by the way, arrived late, then we are dealing with a state of dual threat - he continued.

- The first threat is, of course, from Russia, and it is fundamental, but the second threat is this government in this situation - he went on to say.

- Donald Tusk must lay down arms first. If he lays down his arms, because so far he hasn't, his posts, including today's, if I'm not mistaken, today's post, attacked us, as usual, in a way that was both baseless and, one might say, very malicious, to put it mildly... - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- If he gives up on this, if we have, I don't know, two weeks of peace and also a halt to this campaign, which they are now primarily engaged in and which consolidates their electorate, which unfortunately does not reflect well on that electorate, then we will be ready for talks on this matter. However, these talks will also have to be substantive, because a ceasefire is not enough for Poland to have a government that is capable of dealing with the very numerous crises that Poland faces today. The healthcare crisis is the most evident, but its source is a huge crisis in public finances, and there are many more such crises - he continued.

- A group has come to power that simply has no idea about governing. For them, governing is like seizing certain assets, playing with them, giving them away, involving buddies, connections, business ties, rather than steering the state. I know that a large part of society doesn't recognize this, but that's how it is. These kinds of formations are, one could say, what brought us the 90s. - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- The party bodies did not consider it. I would agree with Mr. Czarzasty's decision; it is indeed perhaps surprising, but I would agree. Indeed, alcohol in the Sejm is a very bad thing, but please remember that there is a danger that tonic without a cap will return - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- A meeting took place at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister between the Head of the Prime Minister's Political Cabinet, Paweł Graś, and the US Ambassador to Poland, Thomas R. Roos - the Prime Minister's Chancellery announced.

The discussion focused on the most important issues in bilateral relations, primarily in the area of defense.

"I see that a mature man has become the Marshal of the Sejm. Go ahead and take our printer ink too, Włodek." This was written by Adrian Zandberg on X.

"Before SLD seriously considers this - I was joking, we don't have a printer," he added.

The co-chairman of Together (Razem) was referring to a post published by Marcin Fijołek: "I hear from the Sejm that one of the new Marshal's first decisions is to deprive parliamentary groups of participation in the Convention of Seniors."

The previous Marshal of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia, invited representatives of parliamentary groups to the Convention of Seniors, although the regulations of the lower house of parliament did not require this.

According to the Sejm Regulations, the Convention of Seniors includes, among others, the Marshal, Deputy Marshals, chairpersons or vice-chairpersons of parliamentary clubs, and the head of the Sejm Chancellery has an advisory vote.

Additionally, representatives of agreements between clubs and parliamentary groups described in Article 8, paragraph 5 of the Sejm Regulations, parliamentary clubs representing at least 15 MPs, and parliamentary groups representing a separate electoral list on the day the Sejm term began, participate in the Convention's meetings (this rule therefore does not apply to Together, which ran in the elections as part of a joint list with, among others, New Left). The Marshal of the Sejm may also invite additional individuals.

- Yes, of course, [people boarding a train] can feel safe, always exercising caution, attentiveness, and adhering to all regulations. We live in times where danger, looking at Copenhagen airport, at various types of attacks, unfortunately exists in many places and stems not only from proximity to the front, from the situation, but from the complexity of the global, worldwide situation. However, we must never be afraid and fearful to the point where fear paralyzes us. We should be cautious, but not intimidated - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- Certainly, there was a lack of information from the Ukrainian side; there was no Interpol note informing about the search for these individuals, and this has already been clarified in the conversation between Prime Minister Tusk and President Zelensky. I would like this cooperation on the line of the Ukrainian border guard and our services to proceed even better - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- Either it's already there, or it will be very soon [the President's signature on Operation Horizon]. We are in contact with the President, with the President's Chancellery. Information about this was presented on Tuesday morning at the security committee. For the first time, I and the Chief of the General Staff knew about this operation and its preparations; we worked on it together - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

"Police officers have every right to use their weapons in defense of citizens or themselves and can count on our full support and protection" - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X.

- This will also be a kind of exercise, because I hear this debate from experts, analysts, but also users who say that the military should be on training grounds, not in places where there is infrastructure. I believe otherwise. The military should be where it is needed, always. And if it is needed to support the civilian population, for protection and security, as during floods, as on the border, as it is needed here now. We are paying 5% for armaments, for the Polish army, the most in NATO. Poles spend this money from their wallets and by paying taxes, we expect the military to be with us, for us to see it - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- However, from observing cohabitation between a president and a government, whether it's the same political camp and the same president, or as is the case with us, a strongly defined political dispute with a president from one camp and a government from another. Constitutional changes in this regard are necessary. I believe all political leaders share this reflection. Not everyone will look at changes in the same direction. Some will say, let's go for a presidential system, which I would include myself in, or a parliamentary-governmental system with an even stronger position for the government and parliament - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- The president, as a representative, this Italian system, in my opinion, should be applied. I know Poles' attachment to direct election, but direct elections without the power to govern end up in attempts to stretch, to cross boundaries de facto by every president - continued Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz.

"The President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, has signed a Decree on the use of units and subunits of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland to assist units and subunits of the Police within the framework of operation 'Horizon'," wrote presidential spokesperson Rafał Leśkiewicz on platform X.

- I certainly won't give even a millimeter of a chance for this coalition to waver, as I am part of this coalition, I co-create this coalition. What's more – I, like the other partners, take full responsibility for this coalition. What's more – I believe in this coalition and I know who elected me and thanks to whose votes I am currently the Marshal. Therefore, I will support the government that Lewica also forms - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach".

- I will not make any decisions that could be interpreted as hesitation. No - this is a coalition I believe in. This coalition will certainly govern until the end of this term, and I believe – and I will do everything with my partners – for it to also govern in the next term - he declared.

- Yes, the two perpetrators have already been identified, and intensive investigative activities are currently underway to establish everyone who was involved in any way, and I believe this is a matter of a short time when it will be done - said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz on TVP Info's "Question of the Day," when asked if the services are on the trail of the would-be attackers.

- These are scandalous insinuations, because this is outright Russian propaganda. Russians, Russian services recruit Ukrainians from Donbas, Ukrainians who sympathize with Russia, precisely to achieve these terrorist goals in a given EU country, but also to be able to say "look, it's Ukrainians" - said Marcin Kierwiński on TVP Info, when asked about disinformation online and the fact that "Sławomir Mentzen records reels suggesting it could have been inspired by Ukraine".

- No, these are individuals of Ukrainian origin, but they are direct executors of the Kremlin's will, and this Polish politician, Mr. Mentzen or any other, who does not understand that these are executors of the Kremlin's will, is actually, unknowingly or knowingly, playing in Putin's orchestra - he continued.

- The address tomorrow will be very real. It will talk about where, in my opinion at least – I could be wrong – good is, where evil is, and how, in my opinion of course, it should look - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).

- Tomorrow, in my address, I will say [where the greatest evil lies] - he added.

- I suspect there will be more charges in this case - said Marcin Kierwiński on TVP Info, when asked about several individuals detained in connection with acts of sabotage and whether he suspects there will be more charges.

"A good decision by Mr. President, I am happy about this decision," said Marcin Kierwiński on TVP Info, when asked about the president's decision to sign off on the use of the military in Operation Horizon.

- A rather strong assessment of the state, both moral and psychological, and the political condition of PiS - said Marcin Kierwiński on TVP Info, when asked about Jarosław Kaczyński's words spoken in a conversation with journalists: 'Are you asking someone who is lying down and being kicked if they will show solidarity with those who are kicking them? There's no question of that.'

- It's difficult for us to have pity for those who, for 8 years, plundered Poland, stole Poland, but on security matters, we should speak with one voice. And I will remind you [...] there was a moment when PiS came with the Act on the Defence of the Homeland [...]. On fundamental issues like security, we were able to say: okay, we will discuss this matter, we will cooperate, we voted for this act - he continued, when pressed about the undertone of the government's lack of pity for PiS in Kaczyński's statement.

- Today we have an opposition whose only joy is actually the ability to attack the government. I watch these videos, they post various videos, even today Mr. MP Kaczyński with Mr. MP Błaszczak... - he went on to say.

- In this video, the only opponent is the Polish government. There is not a single word about the fact that the Russians wanted to carry out this act of sabotage. The Polish government is the enemy there, and Russia is not invoked. What must one have in their head, that when Russian services want to blow up tracks in Poland, not to see that, that Russia so recedes into the background for Mr. Kaczyński, because he has enemies in the Polish government or in Europe. Where is Mr. Kaczyński's patriotism, if he is actually able to absolve Russia, and attack the Polish government? - he added.

- I can imagine this cooperation [with President Karol Nawrocki] with a smile on my face - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).

- I read that Mr. President Nawrocki is observing me. [...] I represent the Sejm, I represent the dignity of the Marshal of the Sejm, just as the President represents the dignity of the President. Let him observe. When he reaches a conclusion, draws some conclusions from this observation, let him inform me - he stated.

As he declared: - Until that moment, I will also be observing. I will also not make any moves that would hinder the President's observation.

When pressed about a meeting, he replied: - I don't know, I'm simply waiting for the President to draw some conclusions from this observation and inform me. Until then - and this is important, which I want to say - I will not take any actions in the sphere of contacts between the Sejm and the President, because I do not want to interfere with this observation.

- We'll see how long this takes. We'll see how much time the President needs to observe me well - he added.

Asked if he was waiting for an invitation from the president, he replied: - No. I am simply waiting to see what he will do next. He took such a step, he said: "bad person, I am observing him." He will draw conclusions, and I will start observing what he proposes in the Sejm.

- From now on, I will assign a printing number to the bills concerning the ban on alcohol sales at night at petrol stations and advertising tomorrow. One must be consistent. I know some people will like this, and some people will not, but that is what a function and responsibility are for – to make decisions – said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).

- There are parliamentary groups present in the Council of Seniors at the moment. The Sejm's regulations state: the Council of Seniors consists of parliamentary groups and clubs that were elected as a result of citizens' votes in an electoral act, i.e. elections. However, for groups that are formed during the term of the Sejm, for example, by members leaving other clubs, the Marshal of the Sejm may invite them to a meeting of the Council of Seniors, or may not invite them – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).

Asked about the continued invitation of the Razem, Konfederacja Korony Polskiej, and Republican groups, he replied: - These three groups are invited by the Marshal of the Sejm. I will make such a decision at the next Sejm session, which means in 2 weeks.

- I am for the consolidation of the left. There is no enemy on the left. Ms. Senyszyn, the Together party will always be close to my heart. I will strive for a single list. If they don't want to, we will persuade them. I hold no grudges against them. Adrian, he's great - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).

- Personal assistance is currently with the government, it will enter [the Sejm] soon. Civil partnerships – in my opinion, I spoke with Minister Berek, will enter the Sejm from the government within 2-3 weeks – said Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach".

- We have a plan for them to enter the Sejm session by the end of this year. Once they enter the Sejm session by the end of the year, we will close this matter. The next issue will be the question related to women's rights to abortion – he continued.
