President with Former President

At 5:30 PM in the Belvedere, President Karol Nawrocki will meet with his predecessor Andrzej Duda regarding his book "To ja. Andrzej Duda" (It's Me. Andrzej Duda). The conversation will be hosted by Maciej Zdziarski.

"It's not a matter of which side [I'm on regarding the bill on PIP inspector powers], but rather the effect this law could bring," Barbara Nowacka stated in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- "And just as strengthening the National Labour Inspectorate is obviously necessary, and I believe these are needed actions, the original idea – which Minister Dziemianowicz-Bąk also changed in its final version – the initial idea, that an inspector would come and transform a contract, I understand that from the perspective of someone who is an entrepreneur, running a business, is simply unacceptable." she stated.

"These are excessive powers. There are also labour courts, whose powers could be strengthened. Common sense must be found in all of this. I think that a certain pragmatism and life experience also show that it is good for an entrepreneur to have an appellate instance. And on the other hand, it is also well known that employee rights must be protected," she continued.

"Strengthening the National Labour Inspectorate? Yes. Automatically transforming contracts out of hand – which, I will remind you, was no longer in the latest provisions – absolutely not," she emphasized.

- I believe there is no sweeping under the rug, and that is very good news, primarily for citizens. Regardless of who holds what position, whether they are in uniform, in the services, or are an ordinary citizen committing crimes, we are all equal before the law. In my opinion, the system worked - stated Waldemar Żurek in “Graffiti” Polsat News.

- Of course, it is a tragedy that such things happen in a place like this, among people who should uphold the law, but I, as a former judge, always say - let's wait for the verdict, because in these kinds of difficult situations we must… It seems to me that the evidence is solid enough to warrant pre-trial detention - he continued.

- This law [PIP reform] is inscribed, and these solutions are inscribed as a milestone in the National Recovery Plan. And now the question is what to do about it, because Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz also explained during this government meeting that since it is a milestone, we have to implement it - Konrad Piasecki asked on TVN24.

- I'm not asking where you got the information about the government meeting. However, as you know perfectly well, we will still be changing the milestone, for example, the one concerning internal combustion engine vehicles. So it may be that this will be another topic and another addendum to the KPO, because that is possible - Barbara Nowacka replied.

- This is a complete misunderstanding [calls for the resignation of the Minister of Interior and Administration]. In my opinion, the fact that such situations [rape in a police unit] come to light in such places, as these types of crimes are very difficult to detect, means that because the services acted, the system worked, so it seems these accusations are irrational - stated Waldemar Żurek in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

"My head aches from these various versions, but I haven't lost hope, meaning I still have hope and will formally request a meeting with Mr. President and the Chancellery," said Katarzyna Kotula in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on "Poranek TOK FM," when asked about "accusations being multiplied by the President's people" regarding the Nearest Person Status Act (e.g., Zbigniew Bogucki pointed to the phrasing "union" in the draft's title).

"I hear different things; one day I hear it's about children who aren't included in this act. They aren't, and I truly regret that, of course; there isn't even de facto, substitute custody," she continued.

"Joint tax settlement [I hear the next day] [...] the third day I hear [...] that it's about the word 'union' in the name. We don't hide the fact that it's about unions. It concerns hetero couples, it concerns same-sex couples, most often those who have lived together for many years," she elaborated.

- I think that if there is a king, he is uncrowned. Every team in Poland has its own 'żyleta' (a slang term for a hardcore fan, often associated with hooliganism) and its own king of hooligans. No, the Prime Minister knows that I am not a supporter of extraordinary measures, but I am a supporter of such painstaking, very intensive work from morning to evening and on weekends too, because this is the moment when we can seize the bull by the horns - stated Waldemar Żurek in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- Such meetings need to be held from time to time. I also didn't meet with Prime Minister Tusk too often. It's known that we were politicians from two different political camps. Well, perhaps the Prime Minister is saying that [they had better contact than they have with Nawrocki]. Nawrocki is there, Duda is not, sorry, that's our climate. If representatives of the ruling camp complain about having poor contact with the president, then they should simply try harder - said Andrzej Duda on “Gość Radia Zet”.

- The 'Compass of Tomorrow' reform will be implemented. However, I must start with what is in this veto. [...] I don't have high expectations of the president, but I assumed his inner circle wouldn't disgrace him this much. This justification for the veto is a disgrace - said Barbara Nowacka in the "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.

- They refer to provisions that are not in the law. For example, they write about changes in physical education – nothing of the sort is happening in this law. They accuse of unconstitutional actions, which are utter nonsense. They accuse of changes that are not changes. They write about issues concerning preschool teachers, which were never in this law at all - she continued.

- It's as if someone looked at the entry in the register of works, listened to rumors, talked to someone incompetent, and wrote it down for the president as a justification - she stated.

- I profoundly disagree with Professor Piotrowski here, who was once part of the PZPR, which opposed the Church, because today we should be fighting hate speech, especially among young people, and against the use of artificial intelligence to create pornographic films involving minors. That is what we should be fighting. In my opinion, offending religious feelings is not a fundamental issue in Poland today - stated Waldemar Żurek on Polsat News' "Graffiti."

- I have a principle that I only advise President Karol Nawrocki on what he asks me about. It's very nice because the President sometimes calls me just to ask how I'm doing, which is very touching. And these are matters between us [what he asks me about] – please forgive me, but I can't say what the President asks me about. He sometimes asks me about various issues to get oriented, but he treats me like any of his advisors. He listens to advice, and implements some, and not others. - said Andrzej Duda on “Gość Radia Zet”.

- If he vetoes, he clearly has reasons for it, because I have never vetoed without reason and I have no doubt that President Karol Nawrocki also does not veto without reason. It might also have seemed to Prime Minister Donald Tusk's camp that they would hold onto the laws, because either their candidate would come and win the presidential election, which he didn't manage, and then they concluded that the new president doesn't have experience yet and will be softer, will be easier, which is why they threw things that were previously in drawers, because they were convinced that Andrzej Duda would not agree to them - said Andrzej Duda in "Gość Radia Zet".

- The government bill [on the status of the nearest person] has been adopted, it has been sent to the Sejm, and this is the moment when we can formally request it, because there is an agreement within the coalition - said Katarzyna Kotula in TOK FM, when asked about a meeting with Marta Nawrocka.

- Together with Urszula Pasławska, we will approach both the First Lady and the President, to the Palace, to request a meeting. Indeed, I have met with the President's ministers in informal settings, and I will be asking them for a meeting and for what specifically the President dislikes about this bill, because we are hearing three different versions - she continued.

- I am convinced that this is a bill that could be a way for the President to show that he is the president of all Poles - she added.

- We are waiting until the end of this semester to analyze how the subject [health education] has performed, how it has been assessed by those attending, and how it is perceived by parents. We see that it is needed - Barbara Nowacka said in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- We, as the Ministry of National Education, have stated from the beginning that for a subject to make sense, it should be a mandatory subject, and we will encourage everyone towards that. However, there is no need to create another coalition conflict today, and if we are ready, I first want to talk to those who are most important to me: the practicing teachers who teach this subject today, but also to see how young people perceive this subject, how parents do. So, during a series of meetings concerning the reform, I will also want to discuss this often with teachers, and we will make a decision then - she continued.

- Could it be that this fundamental component of health education is made mandatory, while the part that raised the most doubts, namely the part concerning sex education, is made optional, voluntary for those students and parents who decide on it? - Konrad Piasecki asked.

- This is one of the variants we are also considering. I simply care very much that Polish youth are resilient to the challenges that surround them, including in the area of health - the Minister of Education replied.

- I trust President Trump, because I can say this, I know President Trump. I have spoken with President Trump many times, I have spoken at length with President Donald Trump. Therefore, I know what kind of person he is. Sometimes I look with dismay at the way President Donald Trump is spoken about - said Andrzej Duda on "Gość Radia Zet".

"Of course, because the most important thing is the goal, which is the fight against this pathology, we are talking about precarious contracts, we are talking about a situation where individuals are sent, forced" - said Katarzyna Kotula on TOK FM, when asked if there would be further work on the reform of the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP).

"Firstly, it is a milestone in the KPO [National Reconstruction Plan], secondly, it is among the priorities, thirdly, this revision, in which the social security contributions for contracts, the 'ozusowanie' [social security contributions] of contracts, was changed precisely to strengthen the National Labour Inspectorate, was approved by the Council of Ministers" - she continued.

"I know that Minister Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk, her ministry will be looking for a way for us to be able, through this or that law, through this reform or another reform [...] perhaps certain solutions can be formulated differently, maybe we can add something to this law" - she added.

- First and foremost, I do not support the standards being implemented today by Donald Tusk's government and the judiciary, which involve absurd accusations, such as the renovation of public institutions, like the National Prosecutor's Office, being carried out with public funds. Among other things, these are the charges being brought against Zbigniew Ziobro, which I consider a complete absurdity. If such charges are being made, it's hardly surprising that people believe they can be imprisoned by Donald Tusk's government for virtually anything - said Andrzej Duda on “Gość Radia Zet”.

- The civil partnerships bill, which I assigned the number of the last day of December, will likely be introduced at the first February session. This is to allow all these matters to be organized, and the upcoming session will also be three days long. We are also planning a 4-day session, so that everything fits in - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference in the Sejm.

- Next week, on Tuesday-Wednesday, my first foreign visit will take place. To Germany. And the idea and the entire political concept is as follows – in Germany, the Polish delegation will meet with the President of the Bundestag, President Steinmeier, and the Minister of National Defence, and this will be the first visit concerning Polish and German parliamentary contacts at this time - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference in the Sejm.

- I will be planning the next visit to France, and the purpose of these two visits will be to invite the head of the German parliament, the head of the French parliament to Poland, in order to rebuild parliamentary contacts at the level of the Weimar Triangle - he continued.

- Yesterday, our meeting did not take place, but as you have probably noticed, the Prime Minister also did not chair the Council of Ministers' session. Simply put, matters arose that had to absorb him elsewhere. The meeting will take place this week - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference in the Sejm.

- I am very open to discussion. This matter needs to be resolved. If not through the door, then through the window. Without arguments, without any situation that would create any tension. If Prime Minister Donald Tusk has a remark, because he said that he considers the discussion on this project to be concluded - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference in the Sejm.

- Alright, if the discussion on this project is concluded, then let's change this project, because if someone has the conviction, and the prime minister is an important person, for example, that there is too much discretion for officials regarding the assessment of contract status, then frankly, if that is the case, if someone has such an impression, I agree - the Marshal of the Sejm continued.

- An official has no right, should not have the right to any optionality in this matter. This means it cannot be an arbitrary interpretation, it must clearly stem from the regulation and must be as it is, an appellate instance, which is the court - he further stated.

- Therefore, we need to talk about the principles and what to do with three spheres: the sphere of financial resources from the KPO, the sphere of the KPO as a milestone, and the sphere most important to us - limiting the functioning and civilizing of mandate contracts, if they cannot be eliminated - he emphasized.

- I can no longer listen to how you behave, hyenas from PiS. You are hyenas. You are engaging in vile political maneuvering based on this woman's suffering. You will soon be brought to account for this matter. The reaction of the Polish police in this case was immediate. Within 12 hours, this individual was arrested and is behind bars - stated Marcin Kierwiński in the Sejm.

- He has been suspended from duty, and the process of expelling this person from the Polish police has been initiated, because there is no place in the Polish police for individuals who commit such vile acts, and this is how we differ from you: we react in such cases. Firmly and immediately. We do not cover anything up, as you used to do - he continued.

- Three control proceedings have been initiated in this case, in addition to the decisions that have been made. A proceeding conducted by the Warsaw Police Headquarters regarding what happened concerning this party, this drinking spree, as you call it, a proceeding concerning the Chief of Police, and the Internal Inspector at the Ministry of Interior and Administration was immediately activated - he said.

- Further decisions will be made in this matter, to be clear, because we will not cover anything up - emphasized the Minister of Interior and Administration.

- This action is already underway, a parliamentary inspection has already taken place, and of course, we will demand explanations, even though the Minister of the Interior and Administration claims we are hyenas. This already shows what kind of government we are dealing with - Jarosław Kaczyński told journalists in the Sejm when asked about the incident of an assault on a policewoman and whether PiS would demand explanations from the Minister of the Interior and Administration.

- If defending women [...] is behaving like a hyena, then one would need to ask what animal Mr. Kierwiński can be compared to - he continued.

- Yes - said Jarosław Kaczyński in an interview with journalists in the Sejm, when asked if PiS is in favor of the PIP reform.

- I know about it, and I know that on the one hand, it's another unfulfilled promise, an unkept promise, and on the other hand, it's simply an example of how anti-social this coalition is, because in the end, Lewica, which is proposing this, will not leave the coalition - he continued, when asked about the suspension of work on these changes.

"This indeed did not succeed, because the resistance from the business community is very strong here" – said Jarosław Kaczyński in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm, when asked why PiS also intended to transform mandate contracts and B2B contracts into employment contracts, but failed to do so during their 8 years in government.

- The possibility for a civil servant to change an employment form without asking for the employer's opinion, the employee's, or a court ruling is a bad idea. Our task is to free the economy and citizens from excessive regulations and bureaucracy. We will find better ways to protect employees - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on social media.

Możliwość zmiany formy zatrudnienia przez urzędnika bez pytania o zdanie pracodawcy, zatrudnionego i bez wyroku sądu to zły pomysł. Naszym zadaniem jest uwolnienie gospodarki i obywateli od nadmiernych regulacji i biurokracji. Znajdziemy lepsze sposoby ochrony pracowników.

— Donald Tusk (@donaldtusk) January 8, 2026

- This is a difficult year, it seems like it will be a difficult year for agriculture with this government, which after 151 days has started to consider, because today the agriculture committee is to review the presidential draft, which concerns, on the one hand, a 10-year extension, another 10 years of the ban on selling, the ban on selling real estate, primarily land, but also changes the preamble to the so-called Constitution of Agriculture Act, meaning the Act on Shaping Agricultural Order - stated Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- This bill, this presidential draft, lay dormant for 151 days, and only the day before the protests is the government reflecting and trying to review this project - he continued.

- This is also a [presidential bill] reality check for the ruling party, to see if they truly want to block Mercosur. Regardless of the decision of other EU member states, whether this blocking minority, which is extremely important and on which the ruling party should work until the last moment, will succeed - stated Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- Tomorrow, President Nawrocki will meet with representatives of protesting farmers and agricultural communities here at the Presidential Palace at 10:00 AM. He wants to engage in dialogue and help Polish farmers, building responsibility for Poland's food security together with them. The President hopes that the government also wishes to pursue this dialogue – stated Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- The interest of the Polish state lies in us being constructively, even pragmatically critical within the European Union, because there are things that cannot be spoken of positively, like all the Green Deals, immigrants, and ideologies. We have the right to speak, that's what democracy is about, to raise these issues within the European Union, of which we want to be a part, and to build a strong alliance with the United States. So, I, as a candidate for President of Poland and also today, am actually continuing my predecessor's line - said Karol Nawrocki during a debate with Andrzej Duda.

"To read instructions off a piece of paper? No, I always try to look presentable, of course, because I represent Poland, but when I hear such comments from the government, almost every day, I always refer them to the Polish Constitution - said Karol Nawrocki during a meeting with Andrzej Duda, responding to the moderator's question: "We have a government that treats you like an intruder, saying: we have the mandate to conduct foreign policy, just sign these ambassadorial papers, represent us with dignity, look good on international visits, and read our instructions off a piece of paper, are you ready for that?"

"The highest representative of Poland abroad is the President of the Republic of Poland; a Polish ambassador cannot be appointed without the decision, without the nomination of the President of the Republic of Poland; a judge cannot be appointed or nominated without the decision of the President of the Republic of Poland" - he continued.

"I have already gotten used [...] to being described in various ways, and besides, President Duda has similar experiences after 10 years. So, if someone comments in this manner and doesn't seek agreement with the highest official of the Polish state, I think they harm themselves and their own standing" - he went on to say.

- Donald Tusk, no matter what anyone says, received a red card in the presidential election. He and his government. If you recall, Mr. Editor, and over the last two weeks of the campaign, did you see Prime Minister Tusk as a candidate? Because I only saw Prime Minister Donald Tusk - said Andrzej Duda during a debate with Karol Nawrocki.

- Look at the situation where today the second most important person in the state, of course, in accordance with the rigor of Polish democracy, and I'll leave aside the fact that he's a post-communist, I don't want to discuss that, but he is a man who received 20,000 votes and lost to a man on his own list from the last place - said President Karol Nawrocki during a meeting with Andrzej Duda.

- A person with the support of 20,000 votes becomes the second person in the state, of course, within the framework of coalition arrangements, discussions, he represents a party that has marginal support, and everything is of course in accordance with democracy, I do not question that as the President of Poland, but ordinary Poles, like myself and many of us, perhaps have the support that this evokes a certain unpleasantness - he continued.

- That here comes a man, not only a post-communist, but with the support of 20,000 votes, and tells a man who has 10.5 million votes in direct elections that he will use a veto he doesn't have, in relation to his legislative initiative - he went on to say.

- This shows what this presidency is for, so that the nation simply has the right to vote and can assess this type of behavior from today's Marshal - he added.

- This work [on reforming the State Labour Inspectorate] has not been blocked. The act will be amended, and the act in its current form, which did not gain full acceptance at the Permanent Committee of the Council of Ministers, was not sent to the Council of Ministers. Therefore, new solutions are needed, and the Prime Minister, as well as the Polish People's Party (PSL), did not express consent to the existing ones - Miłosz Motyka said in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

- Today, it would be written into this act, and that was the intention, that the State Labour Inspectorate, one official, would arbitrarily decide on a change of employment form, whether it is a B2B contract, to an employment contract without a court decision. [...] Well, it wasn't fully changed, and that's why it didn't fully gain the acceptance of the entire Council of Ministers - Miłosz Motyka said on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

- That is why a new, two-instance system is needed. We talked about this, only after a court decision strengthening the labour inspection, but not in a way that arbitrarily orders something to an entrepreneur - he indicated.

- Often, it is the case that an employee is not in a weaker position. We understand some of these accusations, but sometimes it happens that the employee themselves chooses such a form of employment - he stated.

- We are ready to accept a bill that would strengthen the [State] Labour Inspectorate, introducing the possibility, but I think not arbitrarily, only after a court decision, when a significant difference in the employment formula within, for example, a single company is actually demonstrated. Then, yes. However, not arbitrarily from the perspective of an official's whim - said Miłosz Motyka on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń".

- An expanding bureaucratic apparatus should not be an alternative for entrepreneurs, who today often agree on a given form of employment with their employees, because the alternative for these employees would be unemployment - he stated.

"The law in Poland prohibits tractors from entering cities, city centers, so I hope that the farmers will adhere to this. Moreover, the court has also clearly stated on this matter that such tractor entry is not a normal demonstration," said Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).

- If they joke like that [PiS politicians], then these are also not good jokes [regarding comparisons of the situation in Poland to Venezuela], but seriously, absolutely not, in Poland we have democracy, whether we like this or that winner in the elections or not, we accept it and want to return to power, but through democratic elections - stated Henryk Kowalczyk on TVP Info.

- I am not able to vouch for everyone, because everyone has different emotions and sensitivities, I understand that, but I believe that such posts should not exist - he continued.

- Today, on the matter of Mercosur, we all hold exactly the same position, so I understand the farmers' demands because I believe this agreement is harmful and in its current form should not come into force - said Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24.

- The Polish government has done a great deal, and Prime Minister Tusk, to form a blocking coalition so that this agreement would not be signed - he continued.

- In Brussels, either to convince the President to be more active in his relations with his friend, Prime Minister Meloni, because the President has repeatedly emphasized that due to similar, ideological postulates, he feels very close to the Prime Minister, and it is precisely the Italians, according to the press and our informants, who are considering withdrawing from this blocking coalition - he went on to say, responding to the host's suggestion that it would be good for farmers to protest in Brussels.

- If the Italians maintain their negative stance, then together with Italy, France, and additional partners, we will be able to block this agreement. However, if the Italians break ranks, then this agreement may indeed be signed, though I hope not - he added.

- Since the President boasts so much about his relationships, let him influence the Prime Minister - he stressed.

- Entrepreneurs are not bloodthirsty piranhas preying on employees, and the conclusions we submitted during the legislative process for this [PIP reform] project stemmed from truly reasonable analyses of the labor market - said Miłosz Motyka in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- It's our competitors who would want us to divide. They can completely abandon those dreams now. This isn't a factional war, it's a difference of opinion. With such a broad party, as President Kaczyński said, with such broad wings, it's natural that there will be different ways of thinking internally - stated Henryk Kowalczyk on TVP Info.

- Let's not talk about a factional war here, we're discussing differences of opinion on various topics - he continued.

- Ryszard Terlecki likes this kind of rhetoric [regarding words about a factional war in PiS]. Perhaps it's so that he might be quoted, perhaps that's why... I don't know, but talking about a war here is absolutely unjustified - stated Henryk Kowalczyk on TVP Info.

"I am for citizens deciding, and truly, the residents of our cities and towns know best whether a given mayor should continue their mission or not," said Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24, when asked about the abolition of term limits.

"Paradoxically, it's the exact opposite, meaning if a limit of only two terms were introduced, most local government officials would wonder about what's next, and in that sense, they would become more dependent on political parties, they would strive to potentially continue their political careers in the future," he continued, when asked about the argument concerning local arrangements and networks.

"Decisions of this type will paradoxically lead to more party and political influence, rather than citizen influence. I believe that citizens should be the ones making decisions," he went on to say.

- I don't see [Grzegorz Braun in government]. We are doing our own thing. We will not compete with Braun on slogans. If we were to compete with Braun on slogans, not much would come of it. At least the vast majority of PiS is a sensible, rational party, and there will be no chasing extremes - stated Henryk Kowalczyk on TVP Info.

- We are discussing an alternative draft [of the PIP reform], which will be processed within the government, and the Ministry of Family and Labour is responsible for it within the government. However, at the stage of the Standing Committee or negotiations, we can submit comments to this draft - said Miłosz Motyka in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- Regarding this draft, not only the Prime Minister [...] but also we, as the coalition side, raised objections, so there would be no agreement on the formula of such a draft anyway. Therefore, this is not bad treatment, but an evident difference of opinion in this regard, and that is natural - he assessed.

- We will develop - and please do not worry about this - a draft that will accept the milestone and will also strengthen the labour inspectorate. I am convinced of this - he assured.

- I wish my colleagues very well, both on the left, and of course also in the PSL, and also in Poland 2050, because for us, naturally, the most important thing is the ratings [...] of the Civic Coalition [...] however, for this coalition to be able to continue governing, good results from our partners are also needed - said Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24, when asked about the elections in Poland 2050.

- I would want someone to win who would be focused primarily on cooperation and on constructively building relationships - he continued.

- If we literally want to treat the constitution as the supreme law, then we should abolish the term limit, giving residents free choice. Today, there should be no restriction in this regard, because residents best know whom to choose. In our opinion, it is contrary to the constitution, it is contrary to common sense - said Miłosz Motyka in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- I know how difficult decisions are in political life, and I respect those decisions. However, if you ask me whether I would like Szymon Hołownia to continue in politics, then despite sometimes difficult relations, I will say yes, I would like him to - Rafał Trzaskowski said on TVN24.

- I am concerned that President Duda's real goal is simply the government's downfall. And that is his paramount objective, nothing else truly interests him - stated Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24.

- President Duda had various goals, but his main goal, number 1 and the only one, was not solely the downfall of Donald Tusk's government at the time when Donald Tusk was in power - he continued.

- It is not entirely healthy that we have to watch with such great tension as the Prime Minister meets with the President - he went on to say.

- There is no [party discipline in the PSL] on worldview issues, but we are co-authors of this project [the law on the status of a close person] and the vast majority of the club will support it. I am convinced of this – said Miłosz Motyka in “Gość Wydarzeń” Polsat News.

- We also discussed this at the club meeting. There are non-controversial solutions in it that actually help people in difficult situations, and in my opinion – the president also spoke about this during the election campaign – he should thoroughly analyze this project – he continued.
