At 8:30 AM, a press conference will be held in Warsaw by the Deputy Chairman of PiS, Mateusz Morawiecki, and PiS club MPs Anna Kwiecień and Paweł Jabłoński.

 

- It seems to me that general nominations in the army and general nominations in the SWIATM services are treated somewhat differently than general nominations in the special services. Moreover, to put it quite plainly, general nominations are one thing, and nominations for the first officer rank are another. I cannot understand why the operations of Polish special services are being sabotaged in this way - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Jacek Sutryk claims he is innocent and will prove it in court. Indeed, with such accusations, the entire local government community loses. Therefore, Jacek Sutryk should probably consider such a move, but I will not urge him to do so - said Zygmunt Frankiewicz in an interview with Dominika Wielowieyska on "Poranek TOK FM", when asked if Jacek Sutryk should suspend his role as president of the Union of Polish Cities.

- If they [the President’s officials] have any indication that any service officer, any non-commissioned officer in this matter, or in the case of officer orders and decorations, participated, exceeded their competencies, then they should report it to the prosecutor’s office. What kind of revenge is this against people who serve Poland well? This is sabotage, bureaucratic sabotage, I have no doubt about it - stated Marcin Kierwiński in the “Piasecki Interview” on TVN24.

- The pathology was widespread, but it's also worth remembering where it came from. Namely, for many years, it was mandatory for everyone who wanted to be on the supervisory boards of State Treasury companies to pass state examinations for members of supervisory boards of State Treasury companies. It was a very difficult exam - said Zygmunt Frankiewicz on TOK FM.

- Under PiS, a rule was introduced that an MBA would grant the same qualifications as this exam for State Treasury companies. And then it all started. And Collegium Humanum is likely not the only one, and various circles are involved in this or benefited from it, often in dishonest ways - he continued.

- We need to look not only at the consequences but also at the causes and try to eliminate them [...]. When negative mechanisms are set in motion, it's hard to be surprised by the consequences - he went on to say.

- We will not [do anything with the proposal to consult laws with the president at the drafting stage]. Because it is not a matter of the president's proposal, it is a matter of adhering to the Polish Constitution. The Polish Constitution precisely describes the process - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- It seems that the president's officials forget that they can participate in the legislative process at the parliamentary level. Some of them attend Sejm committees, some listen to debates in the Sejm on laws. At the stage of work in the Sejm, there are many moments where laws can be changed, where one can express their opinion - continued the Minister of the Interior and Administration.

- Yes, it is a good decision [not to meet with Viktor Orbán]. It is good that the President listened to the Prime Minister's advice in this regard and the Polish government's, but I must say that I wonder why the President came to this conclusion so late - stated Marcin Kierwiński in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.

"It sounds as if there is some serious pathology involved and someone is losing out. [...] It is pathological that the regulation does not give the body, that is, the person managing the city, the opportunity to legally supervise companies for which they are responsible." - said Zygmunt Frankiewicz on TOK FM, when asked about the "municipal Erasmus," which is the "exchange" of municipal company board seats by city mayors.

"Bad rules, bad law lead to pathology. And I will also say that these mayors have enormous competencies, at least a very large part of them, and in these companies, for example, next door, they can do a great job. It looks bad, but this is not an activity where the state loses." - he continued.

- I believe they are on the verge of being outlawed [Grzegorz Braun's party]. I think a few more various outbursts from Mr. Braun and stories from his people, such as supporting Putin, and then that line will be crossed, and then yes - stated Marcin Kierwiński in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- We must remember how the media operates, especially the mainstream media, media that are favorably inclined towards the current government. These media outlets create a certain reality and have also fabricated a so-called conflict within PiS to an unforeseen degree - said Mateusz Kurzajewski on Radio Republika.

- Our politicians, and especially the most important politicians in our party's presidium, are currently focused on preparing the program with which we will go to the elections in 2027 - he continued.

- For this reason, various task forces and program groups have been established to deal with this program, and also, following the directive of party leader Jarosław Kaczyński, a tour of all counties in Poland is currently underway. We will also descend to the municipal level - he announced.

- We are ready to cooperate with any group that shares a common program with us. With any group that disagrees with what Donald Tusk is currently doing. But we are fighting for the full prize - said Mateusz Kurzajewski on Radio Republika.

- Perhaps it is not evident from current polls, but before 2015 it also wasn't evident from polls that PiS could gain a majority government, just as […] during the presidential campaign, few people, looking at the polls of course, assumed that Mr. President Karol Nawrotki could become president. And he did - he indicated.

- The European Arrest Warrant is, of course, an element of cooperation between EU member states, and the purpose of this measure is for such an extradition to occur. However, on the other hand, we have an institution of international law that has been in place for years, which is the possibility of granting asylum, and undoubtedly these two institutions stand in contradiction to each other - said Marcin Wiącek in "Poranek TOK FM".

- Of course, initiating proceedings before the CJEU is theoretically possible, but I would not be convinced about the outcome of such proceedings, because traditionally every state, by virtue of its sovereignty, has the right to grant asylum to a specific person on its territory. Therefore, this situation is not legally unambiguous - the Commissioner for Human Rights continued.

- One cannot agree with the position that European courts are exceeding the mandate granted to them in the treaties, because they are not only directly assessing the organization of the Polish judiciary, but rather they are assessing whether this organization and this way of functioning of the judiciary, shaped starting from the 2017 act amending the act on the National Council of the Judiciary, provide individuals with the right to an impartial and independent court - said Marcin Wiącek on "Poranek TOK FM".

- The ECJ ruling deeply interferes with the affairs of member states. [...] It orders member states to recognize homosexual marriages concluded in another member state. It's a bit like if drugs were legalized, and there are such countries in the European Union, Poland would also have to respect the import of drugs into our country because in another country, e.g., in the Netherlands, such a law has been guaranteed - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

- We cannot agree to this. Sovereignty is an absolutely fundamental condition for the functioning of member states. [...] We are dealing with shameless, brazen interference in the legal order, the order of family law. I would describe it as the slow realization of the Rabiej and Tusk plan - he stated.

- Minister Żurek recently said that all ECJ rulings must be implemented into the domestic legal order. What are we dealing with? Let's look, not only a violation of sovereignty, but a deep interference in the Polish family order, Polish family law. Hands off our children. Hands off Polish children - he emphasized.

In his opinion: - If we have to respect this ECJ ruling, it will simultaneously mean that a homosexual couple from another country will be able to enjoy all rights as if they were married in Poland. This is what the ruling leads to. We absolutely cannot agree to this.

- Poland cannot be a puppet in the hands of ECJ judges. We are dealing with a reconstruction of the legal order […], a deep interference in our order and an usurpation, granting themselves previously non-existent competences. Who gave ECJ judges the right to decide about the Polish family? I ask: where is the right of these judges to decide on the shape of the Polish family, on Polish family law? - said Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

- What the EC is doing, hand in hand with the ECJ, is the destruction of the legal order of member states. In this case, it strikes at our heart, at the institution of marriage, at our children. […] We absolutely do not agree to Polish law being changed in any way as a result of this ECJ ruling - he continued.

- Let us defend Polish families, let us defend Polish children, let us defend Polish tradition from any external interference. Sovereignty is the supreme Polish right. I would die for sovereignty. Sovereignty is absolutely key for me - he added.

- The government is looking for savings in healthcare! First, they brought hospitals to the brink of inefficiency, and now they want to tighten the screws even further - wrote Mariusz Błaszczak on social media.

- The Minister of Health is proposing, among other things, to limit the list of free medications, abolish the "Good Meal" program, introduce additional limits for specialists, and limits on cataract surgeries. Healthcare in Poland is dying, and patient safety is increasingly at risk. We will not let this matter rest! - emphasized the head of the PiS parliamentary club.

Rząd szuka oszczędności w służbie zdrowia! Najpierw doprowadzili do tego, że szpitale są niewydolne, a teraz jeszcze bardziej chcą dokręcić śrubę.

- Article 9 of the Constitution is very short, one sentence: The Republic of Poland respects international law binding it. What does this mean? It means that we are obliged to respect EU treaties to the extent we have ratified them. That's all, and that's it. [...] In European treaties [...] there is not a word suggesting that EU bodies have received powers from member states to shape what marriage should look like - said Paweł Jabłoński at a press conference.

- The Polish Constitutional Tribunal has stated many times that if EU bodies, including the ECJ, act beyond their powers, contrary to what is in the ratified international agreement, and therefore to the extent that this law does not bind the Republic of Poland, then these actions of usurpers are legally ineffective in Poland - he stated.

- This leads to a very important consequence for all Polish politicians, officials, and local government representatives. Because the law on civil status acts, how the alleged recognition of homosexual unions should look later in Polish offices, this is at the local government level. I appeal [...] to all local government officials: dear sirs, please adhere to the law according to the hierarchy of sources - he said.

- If someone comes to you and wants you to break Polish law, the law on civil status acts, if you want you to break the Polish constitution, then say “no, we cannot do this, Polish law binds us, not dictates from outside”. [...] I sincerely hope that local government officials will adhere to the law in this matter, not like some are already eager to speak up, saying first: “yes, you are welcome, it will be possible to do such things here” - he continued.

- Well, it is not possible to do it, because it is simply illegal. And I also warn those who intend to break this law that there can be consequences for breaking the law as well - he emphasized.

"This document is a SCANDAL! A secret letter from the Ministry of Health to the Minister of Finance dated October 29, 2025, reveals: PLN 10.3 billion in cuts to the National Health Fund (NFZ) in 2026. Not reforms.

- We have it organized, who is doing what. The Team for Work for Poland, which I lead, has already prepared 6 reports, several dozen debates with external experts, demographics, finance, energy, housing, budget, healthcare. These are just some of the topics I am listing and which we have dealt with. The head of all programmatic work is Piotr Gliński - stated Mateusz Morawiecki at a press conference.

- We decided on this a long time ago, and it was also confirmed recently, and all programmatic work is being conducted under his auspices, his umbrella, just as it was during the very well-conducted programmatic convention in Katowice, built from the perspective of the richness of discussion and diversity of topics. Here, Premier Gliński managed and will continue to manage it - he continued.

- And yet another positive surprise from the Polish economy. GDP grew by a remarkable 3.8% in the third quarter - faster than in the preliminary estimate - wrote Andrzej Domański on social media.

- Crucially, investments are accelerating - a growth of 7.1%. Good data for October and a rising Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) indicate that the fourth quarter could be at least as good as the third - emphasized the Minister of Finance.

- The government wants to take over the loss-making and failing Carrefour. Officially, it hopes that civil servants will manage the stores better, resulting in farmers receiving more and customers paying less - Sławomir Mentzen wrote on social media.

- This is obvious nonsense. It's about more seats to be filled by politicians' cronies - he stated.

- The state is not in the business of selling carrots. Politicians are failing to fulfill their basic duties. Defense, healthcare, and the judiciary are not working, and instead of addressing these issues, they've now decided to get involved in selling parsley - emphasized the leader of Konfederacja.

Mentzen concluded his post by adding: - Politicians were once responsible for trade – in the Polish People's Republic. The result was that only vinegar was on the shelves. Let's not go back to that!.

Rząd chce przejąć przynoszącego straty i upadającego Carrefoura. Oficjalnie liczy na to, że urzędnicy będą lepiej zarządzać sklepami, dzięki czemu rolnicy będą dostawać więcej, a klienci płacić mniej.

"Do you remember how they lied: 'Nothing given will be taken away' Now, in broad daylight, they are robbing patients! Next year, over PLN 10 billion will be taken from funds allocated for treatment, and limits will be introduced for, among others, cataract treatment, CT scans for oncology patients, the 'good meal' in hospitals will be abolished, and drug reimbursement will be reduced. Limits for specialists are returning... Do you think Tusk cares about this?" - wrote Jarosław Kaczyński on X.

Polska 2050 posted on the X portal, informing about the departure of Deputy Minister Maciej Duszczyk from the government.

- Maciej Duszczyk, Deputy Minister of the Interior and Administration from Polska 2050, has made a personal decision to leave the government.

We thank him for a great job! For his immense knowledge, cool analysis where it was needed, and a substantive approach to the most difficult topics - the party's profile stated.

- For the responsibility and consistency with which you created migration policy based on facts, not emotions.

Your work for Poland is full of professionalism and the courage to take responsibility where others preferred to flee.

Great job - it was further written.

- We are witnessing, in fact, a Copernican revolution in European politics, because that is how we should define the full Polish-German cooperation when it comes to defending Europe's eastern border - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

- This is Poland's eastern border, but I must say that our cooperation on this matter [...] has not lasted long, it is actually something new, full Polish-German cooperation when it comes to securing Poland's eastern border, Europe's eastern border, and thus also NATO's eastern flank - he continued.

- It took me some time, as you know, I am a veteran of European politics and also of Polish-German cooperation, it took me some time in recent years to convince our German partners that security in this part of Europe should be treated as a common task - he went on to say.

- Russian aggression against Ukraine has shown with full force that these were not just 'just in case' projects, but a very serious proposal for these two key countries in the region, Poland and Germany, to take full responsibility for our common security - he added.

- I am greatly satisfied that on key issues today, such as security, infrastructure investments that will directly serve security, our joint work to support Ukraine, our joint work and here we are going hand in hand, it is truly unprecedented how such a full community of views accompanies our work regarding Europe's position towards the war in Ukraine and our continued readiness to further support Ukraine in its defense against Russia; a testament to this radical, positive change is, for instance, our joint energy policy today - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference with the German Chancellor.

- In this declaration, Germany and Poland are speaking with the same voice about the need for Poland, Germany, and Europe to be 100% independent of energy raw material supplies from Russia. I don't need to convince anyone here in Berlin that a few years ago this would have been entirely unimaginable - he continued.

- Today, and please take these words truly seriously, I have the greatest support regarding a firm stance on joint energy policy from the Chancellor, and this is truly a sign of the times, and thanks to this, Poland's, Germany's, and Europe's independence from Russian supplies is becoming a fact, and not just a Polish demand - emphasized the head of government.

- Poland's stance is clear here. Germany adheres to that formal-diplomatic act from the 1950s. As you well know, those who are familiar with history, in the 1950s Poland de facto had no say in this matter, and the renunciation of reparations by Poles at that time is not recognized as an act in line with the will of the Polish nation, because the Polish nation had no say in this matter then - Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated at a press conference.

- If you are asking about the state of affairs, it has not changed. We in Poland believe, and actually everyone without exception, that Poland has not received compensation for the losses and crimes from the Second World War era, and we know the German position, which clings to that formal provision from the 1950s - he continued.

- We will see what the future holds, but from a Polish point of view, nothing will certainly change - he added.

- I feel a fondness for Germans. So this problem doesn't concern me, I have no complexes. Today, Poland has no reason for the slightest complex towards any of its neighbors. I always repeat with pride, and I have some part in this, that Poland today has the most modern, not the largest, but one of the largest networks of highways, expressways, and bridges. It was once unimaginable that we would be leaders in this matter in Europe - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference with the German Chancellor.

- This is just one example, and therefore I would not overestimate the importance of this or that poll, because generally Poles today have a sense of their own strength, value, and do not harbor any negative emotions towards their neighbors - he continued.

- Chancellor Merz is the person who, every time, unequivocally states that nothing about Ukraine, about Poland, about peace can happen without Poland. I have no reason to complain about my cooperation with Chancellor Merz, with President Macron, with the leaders of European institutions, with the Prime Minister of Italy - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference.

- We recently discussed at the Africa-Europe summit the need for Poland's presence in all significant formats, and European leaders have no doubts about this - he continued.

- I don't want to stir up unnecessary emotions here, but let's say that not everyone in Washington, and certainly no one in Moscow, wants Poland to be always and everywhere present. I treat this as a compliment addressed to me and as a compliment addressed to Poland. Perhaps that's enough, because I might say too much... - he went on to say.

- "Regarding symbolic support from Germany for the surviving victims, those directly affected by the war, living Polish citizens, I will naturally discuss this today and I will point out such an obvious, sad fact," stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference with the German Chancellor.

- "Currently, there are, I'm speaking about the direct victims, according to estimates from the Polish-German Reconciliation Foundation, when I discussed this with Chancellor Scholz, there were slightly over 60,000. Today, it's 50,000. Hurry up if you truly want to make such a gesture. I will consider, if we do not receive a clear and swift declaration, I will consider next year that Poland will fulfill this need from its own funds," the head of government continued.

- It's hard to believe! The Polish Prime Minister in Berlin is talking about supporting direct victims of German Nazism from the Polish budget? Is Tusk trying to pay off German crimes with Polish citizens' money?? - wrote Jarosław Kaczyński on social media.

- Polish support - absolutely YES, but under no circumstances instead of German war reparations! - emphasized the PiS leader.

Aż nie chce się wierzyć! Polski premier w Berlinie mówi o wsparciu dla bezpośrednich ofiar niemieckiego nazizmu z polskiego budżetu? Tusk chce pieniędzmi polskich obywateli spłacać niemieckie zbrodnie??

- Soon, I don't want to give a specific date - said Anna Maria Żukowska in an interview with Beata Lubecka on the "Three Questions at the End of the Day" program on Radio Zet, when asked when The Left would submit its draft bill concerning the cadastral tax.

- It is currently being written and refined because we initially had a slightly different concept. However, since the so-called DOM portal, which provides information on average real estate prices, has been enacted and signed by the President, we are in a different situation. This allows us to construct regulations that, frankly speaking, will be completely different from what I hear about bidding wars or taxes on a second or third [apartment]. That will not be the structure of our idea at all - she continued.

- It will certainly be linked to the value of the apartment, and there will be no double taxation. This means there will not be both property tax and what we are proposing, as that would be unfair - she added.

- It will most likely be an annual tax - she concluded.

- Perhaps it's some negotiation strategy; up until now, other tactics haven't had a positive impact. Germany hides behind a decision that was made by People's Poland, actually not even by us - said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio Zet, when asked about Prime Minister Donald Tusk's words regarding compensation for WWII victims.

- If only a legal idea is found that will enable this, one that will truly be based on principles allowing us to challenge, under international law, what Germany claims is already settled, then okay, the path is open. However, mere blackmail and only writing grand manifestos to Germany on social media, I don't think, will be effective - she continued.

- It will be his decision, which he will probably make on December 6th, meaning after all the regional congresses have taken place - said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio Zet, when asked if Włodzimierz Czarzasty should once again vie for leadership in Nowa Lewica.

- My intuition suggests that if the Marshal decides to run, he will win - she continued.

- There isn't, of course. [...] the word 'veto' also doesn't appear in the Constitution in relation to the president; it's a prerogative consisting of refusing to sign, in the president's case, a law, and in the case of the Marshal of the Sejm, it means the Marshal sets the law in motion - Anna Maria Żukowska stated on Radio Zet, when asked about the non-existence of a Marshal's veto.

- These are matters that will not be voted on in the Sejm, because they are all regulations, which we unfortunately regret, because we would unequivocally vote strongly against them - said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio Zet, when asked about the limitation of, among other things, the limits for cataract treatment.

- Tomorrow there is a meeting of the coalition leaders, this will be one of the elements of the discussion, these issues concerning cuts in healthcare - she continued.

- If we have a situation where Minister Domański sees the need to cut 10 billion zlotys from the National Health Fund (NFZ), then I kindly appeal to the Prime Minister, not even to joke on TikTok now about returning to the concept of lowering health contributions, because it is absolutely irresponsible. We are short of money and we want there to be even less? - she continued.

"We have a dispute within the club on this matter, there is no unequivocal decision" - said Anna Maria Żukowska in Radio Zet, when asked if The Left would support the abolition of term limits in local government.

"My organization is Warsaw, and my party in Warsaw is strongly against the abolition of this solution, while there are people who are local government officials, who come from the regions, who are city mayors, and they are in favor of abolishing it [term limits]" - she continued.

- There are chances, because there are always chances, although in my opinion this joint start is moving further away, also because of decisions like this, which in my opinion were completely unnecessary - said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio Zet, answering a listener's question about whether there are any chances for a joint election start by Nowa Lewica and Razem after Razem did not support the election of Włodzimierz Czarzasty as Marshal of the Sejm.

- One could have abstained, one could have taken out their ballot, not voted. The Razem party simply decided to vote against, which is a bit of a slap in the face for us after these 6 years of cooperation, many joint election starts - she continued.

- On the other hand, I remember what it was like before 2019, i.e. after 2015, in that term, the Razem party also said that we were already dead, useless, they attacked us terribly, yet Adrian Zandberg decided on this joint start in 2019. So I am not crossing it out, but at the moment, from the Razem party, I simply see little chance for it - she added.

- One bill, in addition to the four that the President signed, he decided not to sign, [...] he vetoed the bill on so-called cryptocurrencies, crypto-assets, that is, these digital payment instruments, which are becoming increasingly popular, which can also be a source of wealth, economic development, and are important for start-ups - said Zbigniew Bogucki in "Gość Wydarzeń" Polsat News.

As he explained: - This bill is an implementation of a European regulation, meaning other countries are also implementing such solutions. If I were to write, I have empty pages here, the Czech or Slovakian law printed, it would literally be a few or a dozen pages. And this is what the Polish bill looks like. This is deregulation according to Donald Tusk and this government: over 100 pages of regulations, various kinds of restrictions, which go beyond what the European Union expects from us, demands, or rather, specifically, what the regulation requires.

More details shortly.

- They are a certain partner [Germany], of course, the situation regarding partners is changing in the world now; we see what is happening in the West. There is a certain decomposition of this bloc, a reorganization. For the USA, Europe was traditionally a partner, Russia an adversary. Today, it seems to be becoming a bit the reverse - stated Jan Grabiec on TVP Info.

- Indeed, it is clearly visible that the American administration treats Europe as a rival, and Russia as a potential partner or an area to be developed. So this reset with Russia is real. Unfortunately, not just a reset or an idea for an economic reset, but consequently, for political concessions from the Western world towards Russia. This is what the proposals from the Americans look like today, and here it is important that Europe at least speaks with one voice. - he continued.

- I am not optimistic about the entire continent of Europe, of course not just Germany, but even the British, French, Poles, or Italians are capable of changing US policy, but we should certainly set our own conditions regarding our security - added the Head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery.

- Production is even higher than the preliminary estimate, investments are growing surprisingly quickly, and the economic sentiment barometer is getting better and better. Germany was bursting with envy. It’s good that at least President Nawrocki can’t veto this – wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on social media.

Produkcja jeszcze wyższa od wstępnego szacunku, zaskakująco szybko rosną inwestycje, barometr koniunktury coraz lepszy. Niemcy aż pękali z zazdrości. Dobrze, że chociaż tego prezydent Nawrocki nie może zawetować.

- I remember Prime Minister Kaczyński, then Deputy Prime Minister, who said that we don't need this Europe, and if necessary, we will pay our farmers billions in direct subsidies, which was of course a fiction and an empty promise from him. But he used to understand such rhetorical devices; today he pretends not to understand, or perhaps the President's condition is not the best - stated Jan Grabiec on TVP Info.

- This is a fatal idea [for Poland to pay reparations for Polish victims of German crimes], because the criminals were Germans, the victims were Poles. Nazi Germany attacked the Second Polish Republic - said Zbigniew Bogucki on "Gość Wydarzeń" Polsat News.

- It's like saying that someone who suffered in an accident, the perpetrator of that accident or perpetrator of the assault shouldn't contribute to the compensation for that person, but their family should. Today, Donald Tusk is saying exactly that - he stated.

- This means we are to contribute to compensation, reparations for crimes committed against us, against our families, against our loved ones, against Poles, against Polish citizens of other nationalities, even though these crimes were committed by Germans and they have never paid for them. This is absurd - he assessed.

- This is precisely what shows the mission Mr. Cenckiewicz has to fulfill, throwing sand into the gears. This isn't a sandbox, gentlemen, come to your senses. This is about the life and health of Poles. Special services in Poland have thwarted dozens of acts of sabotage and terror in the last dozen or so months. If these services are busy with how to reach the president so that officers can function normally, then we are truly in danger - stated Jan Grabiec on TVP Info.

- I don’t think the American administration is particularly concerned about the fate of a fugitive fleeing Polish justice, but even if that were the case, it would not affect either our bilateral relations or Mr. Zbigniew Ziobro's legal situation - stated Jan Grabiec on TVP Info.

- A specific question. Donald Trump met with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. He spoke with him on the phone many times. If Donald Trump invites President Karol Nawrocki, would President Nawrocki also boycott a meeting with Donald Trump? - Bogdan Rymanowski asked on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

- There are fundamental differences, Mr. Editor. Firstly, Donald Trump is having these conversations because he is, in fact, the only person in the world, as the leader of the greatest power of the free world, to perhaps bring about the end of this war in the future - replied Zbigniew Bogucki.

- Viktor Orbán, on the other hand, went there [to Moscow], and I understand this, in the interest of his own country, his own economic interests, in this case concerning gas or oil. Donald Trump, however, did not go to Moscow, he sends his representatives there. It was Vladimir Putin who came to Alaska to meet Donald Trump. And these are the fundamental differences. […] The arguments I have provided are objective and differentiate these two situations - he stated.

- President Nawrocki has shown many times that he makes sovereign decisions because he is the president of a sovereign country, a proud nation in the heart of Europe. And if we are in a situation where we disagree with Prime Minister Orbán on this particular issue, with Hungarian policy, then this must be expressed - said Zbigniew Bogucki in "Gość Wydarzeń" Polsat News.

- If Prime Minister Orbán, five days before the visit of the President of Poland, whose stance on these Hungarian-Russian relations is very clear, decides to travel to Moscow and meet with Putin, then there is action, there is reaction. Simple political physics - he continued.

- It is in Hungary's interest […], and Viktor Orbán showed this, for Russian gas or oil to flow into Hungary, and that is a Hungarian interest. It is in Poland's interest for Russia not to be able to sell its gas or oil externally, because the money it receives for it fuels its war industry - said Zbigniew Bogucki on "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- However, when it comes to Hungarian policy on issues concerning, for example, budget conditionality - we can expect that the European Union will soon say: "so-called rule of law, or you don't get money" - I think here we will build excellent relations with Hungary - he stated.

- Because they are equally threatened by this kind of blackmail from the European side. Let's build alliances not based on, forgive my phrasing, clinging to someone, but based on our interests and our matters - he continued.

- President Karol Nawrocki has vetoed a bill destroying the Polish cryptocurrency market! This is a great decision, in line with the expectations of the crypto industry! I myself also publicly and during a meeting with the President appealed for a veto of this harmful bill. Thank you very much for this decision! - wrote Sławomir Mentzen on social media.

Prezydent Karol Nawrocki zawetował ustawę niszczącą polski rynek kryptowalut!

To świetna decyzja, zgodna z oczekiwaniami branży krypto! Sam również publicznie oraz podczas spotkania z Prezydentem apelowałem o zawetowanie tej szkodliwej ustawy.

Bardzo dziękuję za tę decyzję!
