08:16

Sikorski:

We Do Not Have the Asylum Grant Document for Ziobro

- No, we do not have such a document. We have information from the Hungarian ambassador that two Polish citizens have been granted asylum, but we do not have a copy of the grant itself, although the interested party should have it - stated Radosław Sikorski on PR3.


08:17

Sikorski on Being a Refugee:

I Fled From Communism, Not a Polish Court.

- I also recall that I was once a refugee, with the difference being that I was fleeing from communism, not a Polish court - stated Radosław Sikorski on PR3.


08:21

Sikorski on Greenland:

I Would Like to Ask Those Who Share Trump's Values.

- The security of Greenland is a common NATO problem, and here we can help. However, regarding this approach to international law, I would like to ask those who share President Trump's values whether they agree with such a president. It was President Karol Nawrocki who said after leaving the White House that he shares Donald Trump's values - stated Radosław Sikorski on PR3.


08:25

A Great Task for Those Who Claim Influence Over Trump. Sikorski on the President and the Right

- This is a great task for those who claim to have influence over President Trump, meaning the Polish right and the President himself. I want to see some influence, some change in President Trump's decisions regarding Ukraine, or for example, regarding Greenland, under the influence of arguments from Poland from Polish representatives of the MAGA movement - stated Radosław Sikorski on PR3.

- In these matters we are now discussing, Ukraine, Russia, Greenland, I have not yet noticed any change in the American stance under the influence of talks with Polish nationalist politicians - he continued.


08:28

Sikorski Asked About Ambassador Meeting:

I Am Available to the President at Any Time.

- Regarding ambassadors, I don't need to meet. It's enough for the President to start signing. He's not signing. That's what the squirrels are reporting from the Presidential Palace, but of course, I am available to the President at any time - stated Radosław Sikorski on PR3.


08:34

Balczun on Orlen's Sale of Polska Press:

No Such Decision Yet.

- Obviously, that's a question more for Orlen - said Wojciech Balczun on TOK FM's Morning program, when asked by Maciej Głogowski if Orlen would sell Polska Press this year.

- We see interest. It would be inappropriate for me to name potential investors at this stage. Both domestic and foreign parties are, of course, interested - he indicated.

When pressed if the government would sell Polska Press this year, he replied: - I will not answer that question, because there is no such decision. Until the process is advanced, it is not advanced at all for now.

- I believe it is not Orlen's role to have Polska Press within its structure. For now, of course, we are dealing with the most priority issues, which, so to speak, resonate on a much larger scale and affect the company's results than Polska Press. But Polska Press is somewhere at the back of the list of matters to be dealt with - he stated.


08:35

Sikorski:

Far-right Rides the Wave Created by Russian Propaganda and Musk's Algorithms

- The far-right is riding a wave created by Russian propaganda and Mr. Musk's algorithms. And it's mutually reinforcing. I would like to convince our compatriots that we wouldn't want to be in Ukraine's situation. Last night, a powerful attack on Kryvyi Rih, previously hours-long power outages as a result of targeted strikes on power and heating plants. In Kyiv, electricity is now available for a few hours a day. This is the reality. Ukrainians are truly keeping Putin and his troops, his thugs, away from Poland's borders - stated Radosław Sikorski on PR3.

- If the wishes of the far-right were to come true and Ukrainians returned to their homes, we would regret it, we would miss them. So, I very much ask for continued Polish hospitality towards our neighbors who have been attacked by an enemy - he continued.


08:45

Żukowska on Hołownia and Poland 2050 Elections:

The Question is Why He Didn't Run Immediately.

- The question is why he didn't run immediately, then - Anna Maria Żukowska said in a conversation with Marcin Zaborski on the "Gość Radia ZET" program, when asked about Szymon Hołownia and his potential run in the Poland 2050 elections.

- He could have tried and he could have predicted the result of those efforts - she continued, after the host pointed out that Hołownia had sought a position at the UN.


08:50

Balczun Directly Addresses JSW's Situation:

It's Dramatic.

- The [JSW] potential is still intact, but the situation is dramatic, and I'm saying it directly so that we are all aware - said Wojciech Balczun on TOK FM's Morning Show.

- The company is currently burning hundreds of millions monthly. All our effort is directed towards maintaining liquidity. But to maintain this liquidity, the involvement and support of all stakeholders, including the social side, are needed, because without deep restructuring, the company simply will not survive - he emphasized.

- The restructuring plan is prepared. Negotiations are currently underway. The worst thing, of course, is if the project becomes politicized and is seen as potential political gold, where the worse it gets, the better - he stated.

- [JSW] must survive. That's my assumption, but of course, I am prepared [...] for any scenario. If we don't find a solution for sustainable restructuring, then unfortunately, we have bankruptcy on the table - he continued.


08:51

Żukowska on Żurek's Words About Ziobro:

He Went Too Far.

- He went too far, because it has bad connotations in Poland, in Polish politics - said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio ZET, when asked if "Waldemar Żurek went too far when he spoke about a trunk in which Zbigniew Ziobro could be transported to Poland".

- Exactly. No, something like that will not happen, and I hope that no one here will be inspired by Donald Trump, sending helicopters to Hungary - she continued, after the host pointed out that according to Ziobro's defense, it suggests an attempted abduction.


08:57

Żukowska on KO Politicians' Initiative:

When Giertych Tackles Education, It Doesn't Sound Good.

- No - Anna Maria Żukowska said on Radio ZET when asked if she "would be on the same team as Roman Giertych, who is drafting a law on young people and the internet."

- If there are countries introducing this, let's observe how it functions. [...] Finland has introduced classes on detecting falsehoods, manipulation, and fakes on the internet for young children starting from 4 years old. [...]. This, in my opinion, is the path, and only later, possibly, other solutions. This is my opinion, as we haven't discussed it yet in my party - she continued, when pressed about regulations restricting young Poles' access to social media.

- This is a parliamentary project, so there won't be party discipline here; we will discuss it in our club. However, it strongly reminds me of echoes from my youth when Roman Giertych took on Polish education. It doesn't sound good, it brings back unpleasant associations - she added, when asked about Lewica's support for the initiative by Roman Giertych and Barbara Nowacka.


09:05

Balczun Announces Another Orlen Notification to the Prosecutor's Office

- Yes. At Orlen, for example - said Wojciech Balczun in TOK FM's Morning program, when asked if he had recently received information that a State Treasury company would be filing a notification with the prosecutor's office.

- I will not answer [what about] at this moment. I think it [has already been filed] - he stated.

- This is not about personal details. It is the prosecutor's office's task to determine who is guilty, who made bad, erroneous decisions resulting in losses. The latest one is a potential loss of 340 million - he pointed out.


09:06

Żukowska:

"The Together Party Mainly Barks at Us"

"I don't know, it seems to me that what the Together Party is doing is mainly barking at us, and when it comes to implementing their demands, the Together Party has not yet introduced any of their own legislative projects in the Sejm," said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio ZET, when asked if she had "gotten carried away" when she told her colleagues from the Together Party to "go to their kennel".


09:09

Żukowska:

Tusk is giving the green light to becoming like Konfederacja

- No, Donald Tusk is unfortunately giving the green light to becoming like Konfederacja. I don't know, in my opinion, this won't lead him any further than it led Rafał Trzaskowski in the presidential elections, meaning not to victory - said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio ZET, when asked if Prime Minister Donald Tusk is giving the green light to Lewica's idea regarding replacing the health contribution with a health tax.


09:16

Żukowska on the invitation to the Council of Parliamentarians at the President's Office:

Nothing has reached us.

- No, we did not receive such an invitation as a club, I deny it, nothing has reached us - said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio ZET, when asked if she had received an invitation to the Council of Parliamentarians at the President's Office.

- I don't know that, but the President claimed that he sent the invitation to the clubs, so I kindly inform you that he probably didn't send it to the right ones - she continued, when pressed whether any MP from The Left had also personally received such an invitation.

- No. There is the National Security Council, where we participate in meetings, and in our opinion, this is a sufficient way of consultation with the President - she continued, when asked if The Left was interested in participating in this council.

- Sometimes it's simply not worth [talking], because it's just beating around the bush and it ends up the same way anyway, because the President likes to create such an impression and likes to find people who are a fig leaf, pretending to talk to the entire political spectrum, but it's not like that and it won't be, because President Nawrocki is very strongly in conflict with the ruling coalition [...] he is the record holder in vetoing laws - she added.


09:24

Żukowska on Tusk's words regarding the ECJ ruling on same-sex marriages:

Internal Contradiction.

"It's a somewhat internally contradictory statement" - said Anna Maria Żukowska on Radio ZET, when asked about Prime Minister Tusk's words regarding the ECJ ruling on same-sex marriages: "it is not the case that the European Union can impose anything on us in this matter", "we will of course respect the verdicts and judgments of European courts [...]. And I repeat, they concern all those who live in other European countries. When they arrive in Poland, we will have to and want to treat them with full respect, but also in accordance with Polish regulations."

"An internal contradiction, because either we respect and implement, or we don't implement, and the phrasing that the European Union will not impose anything on us is rather what I would expect to hear from someone from the Law and Justice party, because that is their rhetoric" - she continued, when asked what she heard in that statement.


09:40

Andruszkiewicz:

Gawłowski, a well-known figure. He was an MP from the very core of Tusk's system, now convicted.

- Stanisław Gawłowski, a well-known figure. Quoting a classic from the election campaign era, namely Prime Minister Donald Tusk, this text has gone down in the annals, one might say, of Polish public debate. A figure known for being Donald Tusk's right-hand man, among other things. He was a very important politician for Civic Platform. He wasn't just some rank-and-file MP. He was an MP from the very core of Donald Tusk's system, who, as we see today, has been convicted in the first instance, we are awaiting the second, for an absolute deprivation of liberty. This means that the court considered the evidence gathered by the prosecution in his case to be extremely strong, and likely a case of massive theft has occurred. - said Adam Andruszkiewicz in “Gość Michała Rachonia” on TV Republika.


09:40

Andruszkiewicz:

Tusk Has a Tendency to Effectively Liquidate Democracy

- The current ruling establishment, Mr. Donald Tusk, has tendencies that he has always had, because under the first Tusk, this also happened, the so-called judges on call. He has tendencies to effectively liquidate democracy, because dismantling the judiciary and manually controlling the judiciary is dismantling democracy, and in this way, on the one hand, arresting and prosecuting opposition politicians, and on the other hand, acquitting his own - said Adam Andruszkiewicz in “Michał Rachoń’s Guest” on TV Republika.

 


09:45

Andruszkiewicz:

Stadiums are a Much Healthier Place Than the Gazeta Wyborcza Editorial Office

- [The President] did nothing wrong. He was at Jasna Góra, praying with the fans. We respect the fans, we send them our warmest regards, and contrary to what liberal media claim today, fans and stadiums, in the spirit of Polish patriotic thinking, are a much healthier place than, for example, the Gazeta Wyborcza editorial office. At stadiums, people talk about how to serve Poland, not how to serve foreigners - said Adam Andruszkiewicz on TV Republika's "Gość Michała Rachonia".


10:10

Decisions in Poland 2050 on Friday:

Two Proposals Under Consideration.

- A decision crucial for the future of Szymon Hołownia's Poland 2050 will be made on Friday. The National Council will address the amendment to the resolution regarding the elections to the Party's bodies - wrote Marcin Skonieczka, a Member of Parliament for Poland 2050, on social media.

Two proposals are under consideration:

  • repeating the second round of the Chairperson elections,
  • repeating the entire electoral process, including the candidate nomination procedure.

- The National Council has been convened for January 16, 2026 (Friday) at 6:30 PM and will be held online. We face an important decision that will determine the future direction of the party's operation - informed the MP.


10:25

Confederation Urges Government to Sue EU-Mercosur Agreement at ECJ

- Today, the Confederation is intervening at the Office of the Prime Minister regarding the lawsuit against the European Union-Mercosur agreement before the Court of Justice of the European Union - said Anna Bryłka at a press conference.

- The Polish government, primarily Minister Stefan Krajewski, but also Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, announced that Poland would sue the agreement at the Court of Justice of the European Union. Yesterday, a meeting of the Council of Ministers took place, and the Council of Ministers did not adopt any resolution that would oblige the Polish government to file such a lawsuit with the Court of Justice of the European Union - she continued.

- We are intervening today [...] in order to find out, firstly, whether such a lawsuit will definitely be filed, and secondly, what the content of this lawsuit will be, whether it will concern only and exclusively the agreement itself, the content of the agreement, or also the ratification procedure - she added.

- We are also calling today at this conference on the Polish government to adopt a resolution of the Council of Ministers as soon as possible regarding the lawsuit against the agreement with Mercosur countries before the Court of Justice of the European Union - she concluded.


10:28

Pekao and PZU Merger Unlikely This Parliamentary Term? Minister of State Assets Comments

- We know that we are in a kind of process that is generating significant emotions, known as the 'Danish compromise'. The discussion on this matter is ongoing. A steering committee has been appointed. There are expert teams between PZU and Pekao S.A. […] This is a very complex and unprecedented transaction, one that has truly not been carried out on such a scale before - said Wojciech Balczun in TOK FM's Morning Show.

- This is, of course, a response to the requirements of market regulators, both in the insurance and financial sectors, concerning capital requirements for these companies, for these entities, and we must mitigate all risks - he continued.

- The validity period of the current memorandum, which was in effect until the end of the year, has been extended. Expert teams are working. We know that this is a complex process requiring amendments to four acts - he indicated.

- The ultimate goal is to create a financial-insurance conglomerate, a bancassurance group. However, there is no predetermined final scenario, as I am awaiting the team's recommendations. A schedule was adopted in the first memorandum, but it is naturally outdated due to the complexity of this process - he noted.

When asked if this would happen during the current parliamentary term, he replied: - I am unable to, so to speak, confirm that unequivocally.


13:10

Nawrocki on BBC:

I am critical if the EU wants to change Poland's system and constitution.

- The Union was created on different foundations, and today it is heading in a completely different direction. In Poland, the Constitution of the Republic of Poland is paramount - stated President Karol Nawrocki in an interview with the BBC.

- And yes - I am critical if the Union wants to change the Polish system, the Polish constitution, if it wants to tell Poles what they should eat and what not, if the Union signs an agreement with Mercosur countries, destroying Polish agriculture. I appeal, let's return to our roots, let's see our potential, which is our economy and our values, and then a beautiful future lies before us - the president emphasized.


13:14

The Head of the KRS on Advocate Lewandowski's Findings:

We're Returning to Singled-Out Judges.

- We're returning to judges being singled out - wrote the Chairperson of the KRS, Dagmara Pawełczyk-Woicka, referring to Advocate Lewandowski's widely discussed publication.


13:45

Nawrocki:

Our National Community Genotype is Centered on Freedom and Sovereignty, but Also on Centuries of Great Openness

- Poland and our national community genotype are shaped around two characteristics and values. On the one hand, it is freedom and sovereignty, to which we are attached through the symbolism of the Polish crown, to which we so often return. However, for centuries, the Republic has also been characterized by enormous openness. When we look at the history of the First Polish Republic, we see essentially a European and a world superpower that is a mosaic of nationalities. At one point, it was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a mosaic of faiths, and all of this allowed the First Polish Republic to be an enormous superpower and a tremendous force - said Karol Nawrocki during a meeting with representatives of churches and religious associations, as well as national and ethnic minorities in Poland.

- Similarly, when we look at the Second Polish Republic, we realize that during those two decades alone, minorities in the Second Republic included millions of Polish Jews, millions of Polish Ukrainians, Belarusians, Polish Armenians, and Polish Tatars. This is also evident in 1939; despite internal, often political, conflicts, this Poland was a state whose citizens, represented by all minorities, defended their homeland in 1939 - Karol Nawrocki continued.


13:46

Nawrocki:

I feel responsible for all citizens of the Republic, regardless of which church they pray in

- I feel responsible for all citizens of the Republic, regardless of which church they pray in or which national minority they come from. My obligation is to care for all citizens of the Republic, to ensure them normalcy, prosperity, and a good life in our common home, which is the Republic - said Karol Nawrocki during a meeting with representatives of churches and religious unions, as well as national and ethnic minorities in Poland.

- My commitment, besides referring to the history of the Republic of Poland and a civic presidency, also refers to my personal experience. My closest friends since I was 7 years old, my friends as a Catholic, a Christian, were on the one hand a Polish Tatar from an important, distinguished Polish Tatar family, thus a follower of Islam, Olgierd Chazbijewicz, and on the other hand, a person who was not part of the Catholic Church, but was and still remains a Christian - Karol Nawrocki continued.


15:51

Healthcare Chaos Continues. Morawiecki Publishes Video

- HEALTHCARE CHAOS CONTINUES! Maternity wards are closing, there's a lack of money, a lack of responsibility - wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media.


16:06

Żurek on Court Session Regarding Ziobro:

I'm Not Eagerly Awaiting This Decision.

- I am waiting for this decision, but not with impatience. Where there are independent judges, whose appointment we do not question, I will accept any decision. Whether it is a decision to apply pre-trial detention or not - stated Waldemar Żurek at a press briefing in Brussels.

- We agree with any court verdict if it is issued in accordance with the law by legitimate judges. Of course, if it is unfavorable to the prosecution, the prosecution knows the appeal measures, but I am not eagerly awaiting this decision - he continued.


18:23

President Extends a Hand Once More: Przydacz on the Planned Nawrocki-Sikorski Meeting

- Everything will depend on Minister Sikorski - said Marcin Przydacz in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio ZET's program "Three Questions at the End of the Day," when asked about the president's meeting with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on January 26th and whether there would be a ceasefire or agreement.

- The president is once again extending a hand to resolve this dispute, which was caused by Minister Sikorski, and counts on the minister showing at least minimal flexibility and beginning to exercise his constitutional competencies, meaning to cooperate with the president - he continued.

- So far, this has not happened, but we must give the minister a chance. Let's hope that he will recognize that it is worthwhile to have ambassadors and to reach an agreement with the president on this matter - he added.

- We appeal to the minister to come to his senses, to stop politicking and start cooperating - he concluded.


18:30

When Will the President Sign Ambassadorial Nominations? Przydacz Sets a Condition

- The President will of course respond positively to all these requests if they appear, in a situation where Minister Sikorski respects the law, respects custom, and cooperates with the President, rather than expecting the President to be merely a notary for his own decisions - said Marcin Przydacz on Radio ZET, when asked when the President will sign the ambassadorial nominations, as these are the expectations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.


18:35

Przydacz:

Sikorski Has Made Klich's Days Numbered

- It was Minister Sikorski who published his letter [...] he wrote that he is ready to resign Mr. Minister Klich as head of the post. This shows that he himself no longer sees a chance for Mr. Bogdan Klich to continue serving in this capacity, and at the same time, there is no agreement for his potential ambassadorship. There will be no such agreement, of course - said Marcin Przydacz on Radio ZET, when asked if Bogdan Klich would not be an ambassador.

- Minister Sikorski has indeed caused Mr. Klich's days to be numbered, but this was already Minister Sikorski's own decision, who himself shows that he does not see a future for him at this post - he continued.


18:39

Przydacz on the atmosphere during the meeting with Sikorski:

Reminiscent of the outside temperature.

- Reminiscent of the temperature outside the building [...] quite cool, but professional, at least from my side - Marcin Przydacz said on Radio ZET, when asked about the atmosphere of today's meeting with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.


18:43

Przydacz:

The goal is to process ambassadorial candidacies as has been done for many years

- The expectation is very simple. The goal is to be able to process ambassadorial candidacies as has been the case until the entry of Mr. Minister Sikorski into the building, for many, many years - said Marcin Przydacz on Radio ZET, when asked what the President expects from a meeting with Radosław Sikorski.

- Meaning that first, an agreement is reached between the two offices, between the President and the Minister, but in practice, between the presidential minister and a person designated by Mr. Minister Sikorski, on a candidacy, and then it is processed. Only then is there a convention, where the substance is discussed as to whether the given candidate meets expectations [...] then there is the [...] foreign affairs committee [...] finally, there is the signature of the President - he continued.


18:54

Leaders of Clubs Associated with the Ruling Coalition Blocked Participation. Przydacz on MPs' Involvement in the Council of Parliamentarians

- Mr. President is also open to other parties having their representatives in such a council [of parliamentarians] - said Marcin Przydacz on Radio ZET.

- There were also conversations with other clubs, and I know that some leaders of these clubs reacted very nervously [...] despite a certain readiness on the part of MPs associated with the ruling coalition, who believed there was value in talking with Mr. President, for example, about the content of laws being processed in the Sejm, in order to avoid, for instance, an unpleasant surprise, which could be some kind of veto for some - he continued, when asked if invitations were sent to all clubs.

- MPs, especially those in lower ranks, see this need and have expressed readiness, but their leaders absolutely blocked it, so that God forbid they would not cooperate with the President - he further stated.

- Clubs associated with the ruling coalition - he added, when asked whose leaders.

- I think Ms. Anna Maria Żukowska is quite sparing with her knowledge and the truth in this regard - he noted, after the host pointed out that Anna Maria Żukowska had said that Lewica had not received any invitation.


19:52

Czarnek:

Ziobro is fighting for his life against a serious illness and cannot count on a fair trial

- I wish Minister Zbigniew Ziobro and his family good health, especially Minister Zbigniew Ziobro himself. I am convinced that if Zbigniew Ziobro were healthy, he would be in Poland today and would even have submitted to what Mrs. Urszula, Karolina, and Father Olszewski submitted to. However, Minister Zbigniew Ziobro is fighting for his life against a serious illness and, not being able to count on a fair trial here, has used this right [to asylum] - said Przemysław Czarnek in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

When pointed out that Ziobro himself said he had overcome cancer, he replied: - Health was certainly a major reason for the decision that Minister Ziobro made. Overcoming cancer, as we know, is a great victory, but I don't know if it's always a permanent victory, so it requires ongoing treatment and constant monitoring.

- The second thing is family. And the third thing is, of course, the issue of not being able to access a lawful court, one that would be randomly selected and would rule impartially according to its conscience - he continued.


19:59

Kobosko:

I Don't Feel Like a Traitor, I Didn't Plot with the Prime Minister. I Don't Understand Why Hołownia Used Such a Description

- I don't feel like a traitor in any way, I didn't plot with the Prime Minister. I met with the Prime Minister at his invitation at the beginning of December, and we talked largely about international affairs, as I deal with this topic in the European Parliament. I had just returned from a visit to Washington and Capitol Hill, and the Prime Minister wanted to hear about the atmosphere there, as there aren't such close direct contacts with Washington and Donald Trump's administration at the moment. We talked about that to a large extent - said Michał Kobosko on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).

- There [in the Poland 2050 parliamentarians' messenger] such a description indeed appeared directed at me, from the chairman, which I personally consider deeply unfair and unfounded, and I don't understand why Szymon Hołownia used such a description - Michał Kobosko continued.


20:02

Czarnek:

Hungary Indicates Asylum Was Granted Because Rule of Law in Poland is Failing

- I haven't heard of any common criminal fleeing the country and obtaining asylum in any European Union member state. Meanwhile, asylum has been granted to Minister Zbigniew Ziobro by a member state of the European Union, by Hungary, which clearly indicates that this asylum was granted solely because the rule of law in Poland is failing and it is difficult to count on a fair trial in the conditions of a political process. We are dealing with a political process - said Przemysław Czarnek on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".


20:10

Kobosko:

The Most Appropriate Scenario Would Be a Re-run of the Second Round with Two Candidates

- I want to hear at this national council, and perhaps before it, what is really going on with this tool, whether it is credible, because many people in our party also consider this specific tool to be compromised and one that simply cannot be used in repeated elections, because who will guarantee that the same scandal, whatever you call it, that took place will not happen again. I want clarity on how we will be electing. However, Ms. Editor, you are asking about my very specific decision. I will gather the decisions I will have at the council. For now, to the best of my knowledge, I believe that the best scenario would be to complete these elections, meaning to hold the second round - said Michał Kobosko in “Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24.

- The most appropriate scenario would be a credible, certain re-run of the second round of elections, in which we have two candidates - Michał Kobosko continued.


20:17

Czarnek:

I'm not playing games with Konfederacja. I cooperate with everyone where possible

- I have very good cooperation with many colleagues from Konfederacja, including there in the Lublin region. I also spoke with colleagues from Konfederacja yesterday in the Lublin region regarding agricultural matters. I spoke with farmers who are Konfederacja voters, they came to my office. I didn't target Konfederacja myself – said Przemysław Czarnek in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- I am not playing games with Konfederacja. I cooperate with everyone where it is possible – he added.

- The leader of your party, your colleagues, took on Konfederacja, for a while they practically did nothing else and haven't finished yet. Is that a good strategy for being in opposition or not? - asked Piotr Witwicki.

- As far as I know, President Jarosław Kaczyński responded to Konfederacja when he was attacked by Sławomir Mentzen. Now, in response to a question, [...] he spoke favorably about Mr. Krzysztof Bosak, which also did not go down well – replied the Vice-Chairman of PiS.

- So now I ask in turn: [...] well, what is it finally, praise Konfederacja or attack Konfederacja? – he asked.


20:21

Czarnek:

I'm for Cooperation with Centrist Parties, Even PSL, If They Wanted To

- I am for cooperation and always will be. I am also for cooperation with centrist parties, even with the Polish People's Party, if they wanted to cooperate - said Przemysław Czarnek on "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) on Polsat News.
