- Of course, it's some kind of myth, I have the impression, created by a colleague's campaign team for the purpose of polarization, at best. No, absolutely, I am a candidate - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in an interview with Dominika Wielowieyska on "Poranek TOK FM," when asked if she was part of a quartet (alliance) intended to block Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz's victory in the elections for the head of Poland 2050.

- Because in that communication, it seems primarily representatives of the minister's campaign team were speaking, while I haven't seen anyone else commenting on this type of situation or confirming such a state of affairs - she continued, when pressed whether it was a myth created by Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz's campaign team.

- I am running an absolutely grassroots campaign, which is very important to me [...] and I am simply fighting for votes for my vision of Poland 2050, and there is no agreement here - she added.

- I observe such a tendency among the left and the far-left, and surprisingly, among some Confederation politicians like Sławomir Mentzen. Here, the left and Nowa Nadzieja are very close, engaging in a sort of covert defense of a communist dictator on one hand, and on the other, a desperate attempt to equate the actions of the United States with countries like Russia. - said Radosław Fogiel in “Polityczne Graffiti” on Polsat News.

- I believe, although perhaps not everyone agrees with this, that the National Labour Inspectorate should have the ability not only to stigmatize but also to address such obvious legal fictions. If someone regularly shows up at the same place, all necessary resources are provided by the employer, the contractor, and they work there month after month, year after year, then it is de facto a hidden employment - said Radosław Fogiel in "Polityczne Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- If I got a few zlotys every time someone prophesied the end of Law and Justice, then a considerable sum would have been accumulated over these 25 years of our party's existence, as this is a jubilee year in that regard. - said Radosław Fogiel in "Polityczne Graffiti" on Polsat News.

“A major public debate has already taken place regarding the new competencies of the labour inspectorate, which would grant the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) the power to convert civil law contracts (umowy zlecenie) into employment contracts (umowy o pracę) through administrative decisions, rather than court rulings as is currently the case,” said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in an interview with TOK FM, when asked about a “clash” within the government, whereby Prime Minister Tusk allegedly criticized Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk and Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz for including elements in the PIP bill that the Council of Ministers had not agreed to.

“The dispute is about whether this should be done through a single-person, administrative decision by the PIP. Our political circle was also surprised that such a milestone appeared on the KPO (National Recovery Plan) milestones list; it was not consulted with us, and many MPs are not prepared to vote for such a solution,” she continued.

“This was not consulted with us, and many of our parliamentarians are also complaining about it, because it is a very far-reaching change. While, of course, employee rights must be protected, the employer must also have the opportunity to defend themselves in court, and currently these matters are settled through court proceedings, and in our opinion, they should remain so,” she further stated, when asked why Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz included such a point in the milestones.

“Our political circle also does not support these changes, as the Polish People's Party (PSL) had previously expressed opinions in this direction, which shows that there is no coalition consensus in this regard, and we do not know why something like this was introduced [...] without a broader debate at the coalition level,” she added.

“We asked multiple times, but somehow did not receive an answer,” she noted, when asked if she had inquired about this with her party colleagues.

- We have returned to the Council of Ministers, and it was also the subject of deliberations by the standing committee. I hope the project will soon return to the Council of Ministers' deliberations with a decisive content of very important regulations in this act concerning the biomethane and biogas market, which the Law and Justice environment has also been advocating for, and which the President and his team have inquired about - said Paulina Hennig-Kloska in TOK FM, when asked about changes to the wind turbine act and the chances of its acceptance by President Duda.

- Today, for example, we have blocked general spatial development plans. We want to enable investors to work on environmental decisions and spatial development plans simultaneously, to shorten the investment process and time. This is one of the changes that the community is most interested in - she continued, when asked how the construction of wind farms will be facilitated.

- I look at this through the prism of my relationships with other presidents, which I also had personally or politically as a state official. Both with President Kaczyński, and with President Duda, and now I see and observe how President Nawrocki and his entourage are behaving - said Grzegorz Schetyna in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

- I have no illusions that this is a situation that leaves no room for negotiation, for discussion, for building something common. I have the impression that there is no common ground here - he assessed.

In his opinion: - These are separate entities [the government and the president] that exist alongside each other and generally do not function. They repel each other more than they attract. That's how I see it politically. Sometimes I have the impression that this is even further supported and strengthened by the entourage that is currently in the Presidential Chancellery.

- Here there are war scenarios. I have the impression, when I see these vetoes and read the justifications for the presidential vetoes - sometimes it seems to me, I am surprised that either the president does not read the justifications for the veto he signs, or he genuinely trusts these politicians, because I don't want to say lawyers, who prepare and accept these justifications, which are often absurd - he continued.

- Soon a bill will come, not on registered partnerships, but on the status of next of kin. The president's people are already saying, "We don't like this bill, try to change it a bit, smooth it out, for example, abandon community property, and especially joint tax returns." Should we go for such arrangements or not? - Konrad Piasecki asked on TVN24.

- No dreams here. I have no illusions. If one point is changed, they will say: "Good, but this second one also needs to be changed, because it's frankly absurd, because it directly leads to same-sex marriages" - replied Grzegorz Schetyna, the guest of "Rozmowy Piaseckiego" (Piasecki's Conversations).

- These elections are on March 8th, so there's still some time. But it seems to me that he won't have an opponent - Grzegorz Schetyna said in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24, when asked if he would compete with Donald Tusk for leadership in the Civic Coalition (KO).

- I'm not planning on it for now. I never close off such issues, so for now, I'm not planning on it - he stated.

- America showed what its possibilities are, what its capabilities are, it showed that it is strong, contrary to what various domestic and international analysts have been claiming, especially since Donald Trump became President of the USA for the second time - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on TV Republika.

- Americans presented the war of the future. That is, they showed something like multi-domain engagement and superiority, of course, over the entire world which is trying to somehow balance forces when it comes to these military matters - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on TV Republika.

- In this regard, the statement by General Caine is, of course, completely exceptional, as he presented, quite detailed, not to say very detailed, just a few hours after the operation, the very background of the operation and the degree of involvement in various domains, various services - he continued.

- In my opinion, it holds significant political importance, meaning at least the center of President Karol Nawrocki and the right-wing camp, mainly those gathered around PiS, ZP, have simply chosen a good partner, a credible partner, the USA - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on TV Republika.

- Being an Atlanticist in Poland today, from the perspective of people in the government camp and their supporters, let's say in the media, is some kind of embarrassment, at least they want to create such an atmosphere, especially since the moment Harris lost the election to Trump. But this very situation in Venezuela demonstrated the congruence between political will, declarations, and the actions that the Trump administration actually carried out - he continued.

- This is a man [Radosław Sikorski] who juggles sovereignty however he pleases, but the direction is singular. He wants a federal, large state with German leadership, and that’s the dispute with someone like him. We, on the other hand, want an independent Poland within the family of free European nations, but we want to rely on those who have proven themselves in terms of security - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on TV Republika.

“Nobody will take a weak and divided Europe seriously: neither an enemy nor an ally. This is already clear. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must remain united as never before. One for all, all for one. Otherwise, we are finished,” wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on the X platform.

No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally. It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.

- I can reveal this for the first time. In a conversation with one of the ministers, Minister Zalewski, from the Ministry of National Defence, I proposed, as a compromise, and I had consulted it with the President beforehand, a model for a meeting where the heads of services would come with the coordinating minister or the minister supervising those services. So, in the case of military services, the SKW (Military Counterintelligence Service) and SWW (Military Intelligence Service), that would be Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz. Later, this was taken over, in a sense, and rightly so, by the government side and a broader format was proposed - stated Sławomir Cenckiewicz on TV Republika.

- Europe stands on the precipice. The world is changing, and China, the USA, and Russia are fighting for dominance. How do we win the global race? We need a vision! Here is my plan for the future - #EuropeOfStrategicPartnerships🇵🇱🇪🇺🌍! - Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on the X platform, sharing a new video spot.

- Europe stands on the precipice. For years, we believed that peace was eternal and prosperity guaranteed, but the world has changed, and today this is more evident than ever. The European Union is losing competitiveness. Energy is 3 times more expensive than in the USA. Industry is retreating to Asia. Dependence on Chinese raw materials, technologies, and production, coupled with climate policy that strangles its own economy. We need new strength, a new foundation. The answer is an economic NATO - says the narrator in Mateusz Morawiecki's video spot.

- An alliance where Europe and the USA jointly defend not only their borders but also their jobs, their technologies, their economy. An alliance that protects against Chinese dumping, against raw material blackmail, an alliance that combines NATO's military might with real economic cooperation, free trade, joint investments, secure supply chains, energy, semiconductors, and technology. Because only together can we win the race for the future - the narrator continues.

"The cross is a symbol not only of religion or faith, but also of the values of Western civilization – the free world. Its place, precisely as a symbol of these universal values that form the foundation of our civilization, is also in schools, and NOT in the trash" - wrote Zbigniew Bogucki on X.

Krzyż✝️ to znak nie tylko religii czy wiary, ale także wartości cywilizacji zachodu - wolnego świata.

"This afternoon, an important videoconference will be held with the chiefs of general staff of countries forming the coalition of the willing, concerning security guarantees for Ukraine. Poland will be represented by Lieutenant General Karol Dymanowski, First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces. Today's meeting, organized on the initiative of France and the United Kingdom, precedes tomorrow's talks of the heads of government of states interested in a just peace for Ukraine" - wrote Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on X.

- I think Americans aren't stupid enough to believe that Donald Tusk is needed by them for anything; we'd also be happy to get rid of him - said Radosław Fogiel in "Rozmowa Dnia" (Conversation of the Day) on PR1.

- Tusk and his circle are very bothered by the fact that Americans aren't talking to them, and in this way they are trying to get attention, a bit like the donkey in Shrek - said Radosław Fogiel in "Rozmowa Dnia" on PR1.

- If a court recently wrote in the justification of its decision that Poland is dealing with a de facto dictatorial regime, then this is a warning sign and it would be good if Donald Tusk did not take the path leading towards dictatorship - said Radosław Fogiel in the "Interview of the Day" on PR1.

- No one will get rid of Donald Tusk for us, and no one should be getting rid of Donald Tusk for us. It is the task of all Poles to remove this disastrous government from power at the ballot box as soon as possible - said Radosław Fogiel in the "Rozmowa Dnia" (Conversation of the Day) on PR1.

- The issue of Greenland is a very complicated matter from the perspective of NATO's overall defense doctrine and the issue of dominance in the Western Hemisphere, which was confirmed at this conference, and from a Polish perspective, this is something positive in my opinion. However, the reluctance to cede the final say in the Western Hemisphere, where we are located, to another power, see Russia, or potentially China - said Radosław Fogiel in the "Conversation of the Day" on PR1.

- The order of things can change there at any moment, and we cannot be surprised, just as Mr. Sikorski’s party was surprised by Trump’s victory, because they were betting on Kamala Harris. We cannot be perpetually surprised - stated Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Ewa Bugała on TV Republika.

- I have pointed out gaps in the Polish security system. In my opinion, nobody is considering the fact that unfortunately, similar types of actions could be carried out against Poland, against us. Our capital, all the main state institutions, are just 200 km from the nearest airport in Belarus. I am not saying this might happen tomorrow, I don't want to cause panic, but I believe we are paying too little attention to our own security procedures - stated Krzysztof Bosak in a conversation with Ewa Bugała on TV Republika.

- I'll say this – Sławomir Mentzen's analogy practically presents itself, even to me at first, when I heard about what was happening in Venezuela, that analogy came to mind. However, I didn't formulate that kind of comment, and I think the Americans, in a way, by carrying out this operation so efficiently and effectively, threw a spanner in the works for the Russians. They showed what a truly successful special operation carried out with the help of special forces actually looks like - stated Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Ewa Bugała on TV Republika.

Czekam na fikołki naszych ekspertów i polityków, tłumaczące, że atak USA na Wenezuelę i atak Rosji na Ukrainie to nie podchodzi pod żadna rubryka!

To wcale nie jest podobne! Wcale! Mądrzej jest nie wspominać o tem!

- We analyzed these accusations [against Zbigniew Ziobro]. I believe that the number is absolutely outlandish, that these accusations are, for the most part, not to say every single one, but for the most part artificially inflated. It seems to me that there was an order given to press as many accusations as possible - stated Krzysztof Bosak in a conversation with Ewa Bugała on TV Republika.

- The answer, in my opinion, is quite simple [who is the biggest winner in Polish politics in 2025]. President Karol Nawrocki. Because he became president and because the first period of his presidency is - I think - for many who spoke very negatively about him, depending on their intentions, a positive surprise or a cold shower. That is, he is doing well - stated Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Ewa Bugała on TV Republika.

- Are we prepared to defend our own state leadership against these kinds of special operations. Regardless of who it is, because someone will immediately ask me if I would be willing to defend Prime Minister Tusk if they wanted to take him out of Poland. That is a completely unserious question, because I am in opposition. I believe that he is not performing well as prime minister and should resign as soon as possible. However, my question is universal, meaning that regardless of who the Polish prime minister is, the Polish state, not I personally, but the Polish state should be capable, with the help of its security institutions, to protect them. We already have one case of our head of state and part of our political elite whom we, as a society, as a state, failed to defend. I am, of course, referring to the Smolensk catastrophe - said Krzysztof Bosak on the "Rymanowski Live" channel.

- A dollar less per barrel of oil means lower inflation in the United States, lower inflation in Poland, and lower inflation everywhere, but it also means a lower level of revenue for the Russian budget - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a debate on Kanał Zero.

- I think at this moment the Kremlin really has to think about what might come from this situation that happened in Venezuela, because in the end, it might force Vladimir Putin to seriously engage in peace talks for the first time - he continued.

- I have seen how many times he spoke with President Trump, with European leaders, I never had the impression that he truly took peace talks in the context of Ukraine seriously, and now I think he will have to scratch his head and think about what to do now, after what happened in Venezuela - he went on to say.

- The only thing President Putin fears is strength, peace through strength. He doesn't actually talk with European leaders, but rather he mocks European leaders [...] why? Because he knows he doesn't need to fear them. He only reckons with the United States, with China, and with other major powers on Earth - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a debate on Kanał Zero.

- I propose that the European Union return to the European Economic Community, to that very level. Let's set aside all ideological projects concerning illegal migration across Europe, let's set aside this Green Deal, which was supposed to be a European religion. Let's also set aside woke ideology, this madness, let's not deal with all of this, but let's return to that moment in history when the European Union was successful - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a debate on Kanał Zero.

- The European Union, if it wants to survive, must first of all be more focused on security [...] but secondly, it must also return to the European Economic Community and it must be a European Union of strategic partnerships or rather a Europe of strategic alliances - he continued.
 

- This would simply be the largest free trade agreement between the United States and the European Union, plus other NATO countries, for example, Turkey, Norway, and also Korea or Japan. They are not part of NATO, of course, but they could also join, and of course, Great Britain as well [...] we could have over half of global GDP, we could produce over half of global GDP, we could pave the way for new standards, new platforms, new norms - said Mateusz Morawiecki during a debate on Kanał Zero.

- This is a certain step forward, it is an escape from current problems and moving forward, leaving aside all the problems we face today. We could actually recreate a trade system around the United States and the European Union, or even more broadly, I am talking about European countries here. Such an economic NATO could be the most appropriate response to the growing strength of China, to products from China that flood the entire world - he continued.

- I do not wish to whitewash or justify anyone from my political competition in any way. From Konfederacja's perspective, we believe that both PiS and Civic Platform should be replaced; they are declining parties, and their leadership should exit the political scene. However, I believe the situation internally is more varied. That is, equating the entire PiS or the entire team at the National Security Bureau (BBN) with blind pro-Americanism is, in my opinion, not entirely true. I do not rule out that there are blindly, foolishly pro-American politicians within PiS and the Presidential Palace, but I would not say that President Jarosław Kaczyński or President Karol Nawrocki belong to such politicians. Even Sławomir Cenckiewicz, who sometimes makes statements that appear this way, I am personally convinced that it is rather his narrative strategy - Krzysztof Bosak said on the "Rymanowski Live" channel.

- We are talking about the politics of an empire that possesses imperial capabilities and, at the same time, a very delicate, sensitive political system, susceptible to political support, where a decline in living standards, rising costs, falling demand, or even a loss of access to advanced, luxury, consumer goods produced in China can lead to the loss of power. In such situations, it is impossible to win a geostrategic rivalry with a rapidly advancing, well-oiled empire that also has imperial ambitions, an enormous intellectual and production base, an empire managed undemocratically. In my opinion, Americans can no longer win this fight at the moment; they completely underestimated the industriousness, intellectual competence, and self-organization abilities of the Chinese, and they will pay the price for it, as will the entire Western world - said Krzysztof Bosak on the "Rymanowski Live" channel.

- This is rhetoric that the PSL is introducing into public debate in a completely harmful way. That is, PiS did it, and the PSL has elevated it to the status of public doctrine: that buying weaponry from America is purchasing an insurance policy against potential threats. This is absurd thinking because when Americans sell us something, they do it, of course, for business reasons; they believe they have made a good deal, a good business transaction – said Krzysztof Bosak on the 'Rymanowski Live' channel.
