With Whom Will PiS Form a Coalition? Sasin: Of Course, I Prefer Braun to Tusk

- I find it hard to imagine [a coalition with Grzegorz Braun], to be honest. But on the other hand, I know what the rules of democracy are - Jacek Sasin said on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" (Piasecki's Conversation).

- And the rules of democracy are that you have to respect the voters' voices. If the voters decide that Grzegorz Braun's party will be in parliament and it turns out that a majority cannot be formed without this party, then probably one will have to seriously consider it, not just say 'no because no' - he stated.

- I want to declare this right away: there will be no coalition with Donald Tusk - he announced. When asked if he preferred Braun to the Prime Minister, he replied: - Of course, I prefer Grzegorz Braun to Donald Tusk.

As he continued: - Grzegorz Braun does indeed talk a lot of nonsense, however, I am not convinced that if it came to serious matters, and not just fighting for one's place on the political stage, it might not be possible to have some serious conversation. I don't know, I'm not ruling it out.

Fulfilling Promises or Resignation. Confederation Appeals to Tusk

- Two years ago, Civic Platform came to power with slogans including the repair of the healthcare system. [...] In their 100 concrete points, they promised unlimited access to benefits, they promised, in a word, that they would fix everything and everyone would be better off in this system - said Michał Wawer at a press conference.

- Unfortunately, after two years, we see that nothing has come of it, that after these two years, all the already existing, deep, systemic problems of the healthcare system have been further exacerbated - he continued.

- We have a situation where, to start with, Polish citizens are second-class citizens, because citizens of Ukraine are supported and financed by this system, citizens of Ukraine have guaranteed access to this system even when they do not pay contributions, which are mandatory for Polish citizens - he went on to say.

- We call on Prime Minister Tusk to fulfill his promises. Promises he made to Poles when coming to power, and if he is unable to fulfill these promises, we call on him to voluntarily resign, to admit that he is unable to implement his own program, that he is unable to fix healthcare, and that he is ready to leave it in the hands of people who [...] will actually be able to reform the healthcare system - he added.

Will Czarzasty Run for Leader of New Left? Marshal Responds

- I have not made such a decision. Today and tomorrow I still have consultations, and then I will make a decision - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press briefing in the Sejm.

Declassifying Part of a Secret Sejm Session? Czarzasty Explains

- I will not shy away from this issue. There is a request from PiS, from Mr. Kowalski, to declassify it. I spoke with MP Kowalski. I want to say that he showed far-reaching common sense. I told him: Mr. MP. If you demand that I put this to a vote right now, I will not, because I do not know what the legal consequences would be - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- We will prepare for the next presidium meeting with an answer on the matter, and we will present this answer at the presidium and at the Convention of Senior MPs. This means we will be ready in 1.5 weeks - he continued.


11:33

Czarzasty Addresses the President:

You Can’t Be the Best in Everything.

- Dismantling the EU at this moment, pitting nation against nation, will lead to Poland’s standing diminishing. Mr. President, please truly sit down, think about this matter, and don’t look at everything through the prism of wanting to be the best in all things, because it’s simply impossible to be the best in all things – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVP Info.


11:26

Sasin:

There is no conflict in PiS

- There is no war. [...] There is no conflict. The fact that there are some discussions within the party is something normal. Mountains are being made out of molehills, or a sensation out of something normal - said Jacek Sasin in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


09:26

Przydacz on when Nawrocki might meet the Foreign Minister:

Perhaps then Sikorski will stop attacking the President so aggressively.

- I think a meeting with Minister Sikorski will happen, but we were rather planning such a meeting because it will also concern the paralysis of the Polish foreign service, which Minister Sikorski caused, and I think the holiday period or post-holiday period... - said Marcin Przydacz on TOK FM's Morning Show.

- Probably post-holiday, when perhaps the emotions will also subside somewhat and Minister Sikorski will stop attacking the Presidential Palace so aggressively. Perhaps the holiday atmosphere will calm his emotions, and then he will be more inclined to compromise, because this compromise is possible, and we are open to it - he stated.

- Only Minister Sikorski must want to return to the good tradition that functioned for 30 years of the Third Polish Republic, which he wants to break with recently, being unable to agree with either President Duda or, as it seems, President Nawrocki - he emphasized.

"I Will Be Working on It": Przydacz on Zelenskyy's Visit to Warsaw

- We are in ongoing contact with the Ukrainian side. We are discussing the possibility of a meeting, a specific date. Yesterday, President Zelenskyy indeed publicly expressed his readiness to come to Warsaw, thus responding positively to the invitation extended by President Duda - said Marcin Przydacz in the TOK FM morning show.

- I believe this meeting can happen relatively quickly, but as with any presidential engagement, a convenient date for both sides needs to be agreed upon. In recent days, and I think for the next few days, I will be primarily working on this - he indicated.

- Although, as we all know, not only the date is important in the context of this conversation, but also its content and specific agreements, both in the area of regional security policy and bilateral matters that are on the table, on the agenda of relations between Warsaw and Kyiv. We want to achieve some progress in these difficult matters as well - he continued.


09:08

Kierwiński on Presidential Contacts with Zelensky:

I Didn’t Think I’d Be Praising Duda.

- I’m wondering how it came to be that the topic of President Zelensky inviting the Polish President and saying he’s open to coming here is some kind of news. This should be something normal. During President Duda’s term, I didn’t think I’d be praising President Duda, but these contacts with the President of Ukraine were something normal – said Marcin Kierwiński on “Gość Radia Zet”.


08:53

Government to Re-adopt Cryptocurrency Bill Without Any Changes

- It will be adopted by the government today and submitted once again. Obviously [it will be the identical bill] because it's good - said Marcin Kierwiński in “Gość Radia Zet”.


08:52

Kierwiński on Politicians Unconvinced by Tusk Regarding Cryptocurrency Regulations:

A Sign of Stupidity and Lack of Reason.

- They, instead of listening and reflecting, are only and exclusively capable of laughing. But that is a sign of stupidity and lack of reason. The information that Donald Tusk presented at this meeting was very strong information. It spoke about the connection between what is related to the cryptocurrency industry, also with specific companies and the issues of the operation of Russian criminal groups, Russian special services. If that doesn't impress any Polish politician, it means that they are either intellectually unprepared to fulfill any state roles, or that they are guided by the doctrine: the worse for Poland, read: for the government, the better for us - said Marcin Kierwiński in “Gość Radia Zet”.


08:50

Przydacz Explains Why They Aren't Publicized:

There Were Phone Calls Between Duda and Trump.

- Yes, there were phone calls, of course - said Marcin Przydacz on TOK FM's Morning Show, when asked if there had been direct telephone contact between the Presidents of Poland and the United States between September 3rd and today.

- There is an exchange of information, an exchange of correspondence, there are phone calls. Please, truly, do not worry about this contact - he assured.

When pressed as to why the Presidential Chancellery does not publicize this on its website or social media, he replied: - Perhaps because the benefits of these conversations, in the context of security policy, are far from our expectations. It is known that for these conversations to be effective, they must be conducted somewhat in silence.

- And secondly, as we all know, Poland approached the 28-point plan very critically - he added.

When asked again if any conversation had occurred between Duda and Trump, he responded: - There are phone calls. Truly, please absolutely do not worry about it.


08:47

Government Spokesperson Cuts Speculation on Cadastral Tax and the Left's Proposal

- This will be a proposal from the Left [regarding cadastral tax], a parliamentary bill. According to my information, there is no agreement within the government at this stage, so it will not be a government project - stated Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.


08:45

Health Contribution Reduction? Szłapka on Coalition Talks

- We would like to discuss this as part of deregulation [another proposal to reduce the health contribution], but this also naturally requires a discussion among all coalition parties, because it is one of those topics that needs to be ironed out, as there must be a parliamentary majority - stated Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.


08:44

Tomczyk on the lack of state control over cryptocurrencies:

This is very dangerous from the perspective of every Polish citizen.

- Cryptocurrencies today are beyond any state control, and Russia, Russian services, but also the mafia, are using cryptocurrencies for cashless transactions in a way to bypass, for example, special services - said Cezary Tomczyk on Polsat News.

- This is very dangerous, primarily from the perspective of every Polish citizen, who must take into account that a saboteur [...] can use these funds, cryptocurrencies, in a way unnoticed by the state, if we do not quickly introduce a law that regulates this - he continued.

- We want to bring this law back into legal circulation, if not today, then in the coming days, obviously, we need these solutions - he further stated.


08:38

Tomczyk on possible scenarios regarding military conscription:

If at some stage the government decides...

"First of all, let's remember that military conscription has not been abolished, only suspended. [...] Secondly, let's remember that as long as there is a situation where, within the framework of voluntary basic military service, which is taking place, we have an adequate number of volunteers, we do not need to return to this discussion," said Cezary Tomczyk in Polsat News, when asked about the reintroduction of compulsory basic military service.

"Of course, as I said, conscription is suspended. If at some stage the government decides that its reinstatement is necessary, then that is exactly what will happen. At this stage, where we are, there is no such discussion," he continued.


08:35

Przydacz Announces Visit to Washington

- Next week, I plan to visit Washington with my colleagues. It will concern various topics, including security matters. Although I won't hide it, one of the topics will also be Poland's participation in the G20, which is the significant outcome of the September 3rd visit - said Marcin Przydacz on TOK FM morning program.


08:33

Szłapka on the new urgent cryptocurrency bill:

Not even a comma.

- We’re not changing even a comma [in the new cryptocurrency bill that the government will deal with today]. Because it’s a necessary bill, it’s urgent, and there will be another veto... In my opinion, a very serious one. The veto was a very serious mistake, also from the perspective of state security, and there will be another opportunity to work through it in parliament – stated Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.


08:30

Przydacz Announces Conversation with "Important Representative of the White House Administration"

- We are in ongoing contact, and I even have an important conversation today with an important representative of the White House administration - said Marcin Przydacz in an interview with Maciej Kluczka on Poranek TOK FM.

When pressed about who it concerns, he replied: - Please allow me to work diplomatically, not just in the media. But yes, if this conversation takes place, we will certainly talk about it. I am also going to Washington in the near future, so these Polish-American understandings will continue.


08:23

Diversifying Military Purchases? Tomczyk Explains

- Poland makes purchases from places that primarily enable us to build capabilities, but for us, the first choice [...] is purchasing in Poland - said Cezary Tomczyk on Polsat News, when asked about diversifying military purchases following American declarations.

- I have no problem with purchases overseas if they build capabilities for Poland. [...] The F-35 aircraft, the most modern fighter jet in the world, can only be purchased in the United States - he continued.

- Our relationship with the United States is truly exceptional. When the United States' security strategy was presented, which also caused and continues to cause considerable controversy, and rightly so, Poland is mentioned in the statements of American politicians as one of three countries, after Israel and South Korea, and Poland is today the closest ally of the United States - he went on to say.


08:16

Tomczyk on Duda and Zelenskyy:

A Meeting Simply Should Have Happened.

- For us, the relationship with Ukraine should be one of the most important [...]. I believe that a meeting simply should have happened here. On what terms, let the presidents of both countries decide. I believe this is primarily for President Zelenskyy and President Duda to determine, but I believe that good will is most important here. From our Polish, strategic point of view, victory or a good peace for Ukraine is a matter of state interest - said Cezary Tomczyk on Polsat News.

- The presidents of Poland and Ukraine simply should meet, this is quite obvious. Both Lech Kaczyński, Bronisław Komorowski, and Andrzej Duda conducted a very active policy in this regard. Duda, de facto, is somewhat like Andrzej Duda at a certain stage. He probably still has a lot to learn, because it seems that this relationship is not that important to him - he continued.


08:11

Kierwiński:

Poland is Considered Among the Victors of the Migration and Asylum Pact Discussions

- As Poland, we are generally considered among the European countries as one of the biggest winners in this discussion about the migration and asylum pact - said Marcin Kierwiński on “Gość Radia Zet”.

- We have delivered 100% of what we agreed upon with Poles and 100% of what we promised. Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke about this – that there will be no relocation of immigrants and no relocation - Marcin Kierwiński continued.


08:09

Poland's Absence from Ukraine Peace Talks: A Failure? Tomczyk Responds

- No [it is not a failure], it is a certain consequence of actions, and let's remember that because Poland declared from the very beginning that it has no intention of sending troops to Ukraine - said Cezary Tomczyk on Polsat News, when asked about Poland's absence from the peace talks on Ukraine in Great Britain.


07:59

"A Copernican Revolution": Tomczyk on the Polish Satellite

- The Polish army is gaining the capability to see through clouds, regardless of the time of day or weather, in such a way as to be able to observe enemy forces and to conduct precise targeting, meaning aiming at the highest possible level, which is a world-class level - said Cezary Tomczyk in an interview with Grzegorz Kępka on Polsat News' "Graffiti", when asked about images from the Polish satellite.

- 25 cm, which is the size of an A4 sheet of paper, is the resolution of this satellite. This means we are able to observe everything from space at any time of day or night, in any weather, with an accuracy of up to 25 cm on the Earth's surface. These are the capabilities of Poland's first military satellite today, one of three that have already been contracted by this government - he continued.

- This is an absolute Copernican revolution, there is no doubt about it, because the Polish army has not had such capabilities until now. [...] The satellites that have been put into orbit [...] are a sovereign capability of the Republic of Poland, meaning all red buttons, plugs, and capabilities are in Poland, just as the service center is in Poland - he went on to say.
