Nawrocki Seeks Meeting with Żurek; Siemoniak Comments on President's Words

- The prosecution is investigating every matter raised by the president. So, prosecutors, and possibly a court in the future, will assess these situations. Did that calm the president down? It's hard for me to say - said Tomasz Siemoniak on Polsat News's "Graffiti," referring to the presidential spokesperson's statement that Karol Nawrocki expects clarification on suspicions regarding the involvement of special services in the electoral process.

- He said something along the lines of, "well, in such a situation, I will want to talk to Minister Żurek." I think that is a rational action. However, there is absolutely no question, there was no question, that the services were involved in any way - he emphasized.

Siemoniak:

Services Were Not Involved in the Campaign. The President Heard This Directly from the Heads of Services, in a Professional Manner

- I can say this because I have also spoken about it publicly many times: the special services were absolutely not involved in the election campaign, and the president heard directly from the heads of services, in a professional manner, how these situations looked – said Tomasz Siemoniak in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- First and foremost, we conveyed the information that each of these matters is being investigated by the prosecutor's office. Simply put, the prosecutor's office is dealing with it. It's not as if we said "nothing happened" and that's that. The prosecutor's office is investigating each of the issues raised by the president. So, prosecutors, and eventually perhaps a court, will assess these situations. Whether this reassured the president? It's hard for me to say – he continued.

Domański:

We Must Brag About Poland's Economic Success

- This is not a fairy tale. In terms of the economic success that Poland has achieved over the last 35 years, it commands truly immense respect, practically from anyone I speak with among my counterparts in other countries, whether within the EU or more broadly in the world. And we must talk about this economic success of Poland, we must, in a way, brag about it - stated Andrzej Domański on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

- Why? Because we want this success to continue. We want to build the foundations for long-term growth of the Polish economy. To achieve this, we need, among other things, more investment - he continued.

Tomczyk:

In 2026, We Will Heavily Invest in Reservist Training

- Today, we have a sufficient number of volunteers at the level of 40,000 annually for the basic voluntary military service. If we see a problem with this voluntary recruitment, or rather voluntary service, we will consider other solutions. Among the things I would like to mention today, for us, 2026 will be the year of the reserve. We will heavily invest in reservist training, there will also be special legal solutions for reservists, and we are introducing or will introduce the possibility for people with active mobilization assignments to also volunteer – said Cezary Tomczyk in “Gość Radia Zet”.

- It will be possible to sign up soon, a new recruitment will start in February using mObywatel. Anyone can click, it takes about 12 seconds – Cezary Tomczyk continued.

Siemoniak Surprised by the President's Spokesperson's Words:

The Meeting Had a Clause.

- The meeting had a clause, so I am a bit surprised that the President's spokesperson is saying quite a lot on this subject - said Tomasz Siemoniak on Polsat News' "Graffiti."

He commented in this way on Rafał Leśkiewicz's statement from yesterday.


08:29

Domański:

If the President Doesn't Sign the Budget, We Will Proceed with the Bill That Reached Parliament

- If Mr. President does not sign the budget, then we will proceed with the bill that reached parliament, meaning it will not contain those amendments, and to put it plainly, that additional funding simply won't be available until the budget bill is signed by the president - stated Andrzej Domański on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.


08:24

Siemoniak on Yesterday's Meeting with the President:

Firmly, but Politely.

- Thanks to the fact that this meeting had its clause, it was a confidential meeting, we with Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz or the heads of services could simply talk about certain things very precisely. I think it was also valuable for the president in some way - said Tomasz Siemoniak in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

- There were questions about various issues, but of course there were also moments of a tougher conversation, differences of opinion. That's not bad at all. It's known that we come from different political camps. I'm talking about the politicians who were there - he continued.

- This meeting was very substantive with an agenda, [...] firmly, but politely. I didn't expect us to be joking around here, nor did I expect that - as the editor said - an axe would be hanging. It was somewhere in the middle, a normal conversation that should take place in a state - he stated.

Tomczyk:

During Poland's Presidency, We Didn't Just Accomplish the SAFE Program

- During Poland's presidency, we didn't just manage to do it; we created the extensive SAFE program, which will provide us with 200 billion zlotys for Polish defense. There has been no remilitarization of Europe on this scale before, and this is thanks to the Polish presidency and the Polish Prime Minister - stated Cezary Tomczyk on "Gość Radia Zet".

Tomczyk:

Poland will prepare sites for border mining, but actual mining only in case of real war threat

- Poland will prepare sites for border mining, but the actual mining may only occur when a crisis arises. So, to put it plainly, the East Shield involves building engineering barriers on one hand, and on the other, preparing sites for mining. However, the actual mining will only take place in the event of a real threat of war - said Cezary Tomczyk on “Gość Radia Zet”.

Tomczyk:

The President's Words Marginalize Us in the European Union

- The European Union is being reformed all the time, but it's words like the President's that cause us to marginalize ourselves. This means the President likely sees his political future with Viktor Orbán, who is in the absolute minority within the European Union, rather than with countries that can change the European Union. We are doing everything to ensure Poland is not under the table, but at the table. We have an influence on the most important decisions - said Cezary Tomczyk on "Gość Radia Zet".

Korneluk:

No One Doubts the Prosecutor's Office is Functioning Correctly and the National Prosecutor Was Appointed Properly

- Today, no one has any doubts that the National Prosecutor's Office is functioning correctly, and the national prosecutor was appointed properly - said Dariusz Korneluk on TVN24.

- Mr. President is not a lawyer, nor is he a legal authority for me, however, Mr. President met with a retired prosecutor, Dariusz Barski - he continued after the host pointed out that not everyone, because even the president met with Dariusz Barski and said that he is the national prosecutor.


08:03

Korneluk on Ziobro:

His Credibility is Zero.

- Just look at the last two months, even one month, and analyze Mr. Ziobro's statements in the context of what we know today. His credibility, forgive me for this colloquialism, is zero - said Dariusz Korneluk on TVN24, when asked about Zbigniew Ziobro's statement regarding "criminal activity" allegedly directed at him and about martial law.


07:55

Korneluk on Ziobro's Defense Tactics:

Submitted a Package of Motions to Prevent Substantive Examination of the Case.

- From the accounts I received from prosecutor Piotr Woźniak, who participated in the hearing, it unequivocally follows that the defense of the suspect Zbigniew Ziobro submitted a whole package of formal motions, the purpose of which was one thing: to prevent the substantive examination of the case - said Dariusz Korneluk in an interview with Agata Adamek on TVN24's "Jeden na jeden" (One on One).

- Starting with formal motions that questioned, in general [...] whether Zbigniew Ziobro was even aware of yesterday's hearing - he continued.

- The court clearly and categorically stated that the defense counsel has full evidential material and there is no need to supplement it - he went on to say.
