Bielan:

Radicalizing Our Message Primarily Led to Increased Support for Confederation and KKP

- I believe that radicalizing our message in recent months, after the presidential elections, has primarily resulted in increased support for Confederation and Grzegorz Braun's Confederation. We've tried that before. Continuing to try the same thing won't yield a different result - Adam Bielan stated on Radio ZET.


09:37

Morawiecki Reiterates Proposal to Establish a Communications Staff:

Composed of Very Different Factions.

- I travel a lot, and that is our method for victory. Establishing a communications staff, a sort of quasi-election staff. I proposed this a few months ago, composed of very different factions - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.

- Let's stop dwelling on the past, let's look at development, at an aspirational Poland, at what truly interests people - he continued.


09:33

Bielan Responds to Mentzen's Words:

No Coalition with PiS Without Kaczyński.

- I can say that I can imagine a coalition with Konfederacja without the leaders of Konfederacja. This is not a serious way to pose the question; there will be no coalition with Law and Justice without Jarosław Kaczyński - Adam Bielan said on Radio ZET, when asked about Sławomir Mentzen's words that a coalition with PiS, but without Jarosław Kaczyński, "is something to consider."


09:32

Morawiecki:

I'm Waiting for the Implementation of 100 Specifics. Where is the Tax-Free Amount?

- There were many excellent ones, I'm just waiting for their implementation [KO's 100 Specifics]. Where is the tax-free amount? Of course, I would raise my hand - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.


09:28

Kosiniak-Kamysz as Prime Minister in a Government Supported by PiS? Bielan: I'm Not Proposing Anything to Him, the Time Has Passed

- I am not proposing anything to him, there is not much time left until the elections, I don't think Law and Justice would be interested in such a government a year and a half before the elections - Adam Bielan said on Radio ZET, when asked about "tempting" Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and the proposal for him to become prime minister with PiS support.

- I think that time has passed - he continued.


09:25

Morawiecki on the Peace Council:

In new formats, we should at least initially adopt observer status.

- This is the President's decision. I believe that in new formats, we should at least initially adopt observer status; we shouldn't allow ourselves to be excluded from tables that could turn out to be decision-making tables - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.


09:21

Bielan:

I warned Hołownia not to run for UN position, as he had no chance

- Szymon Hołownia made his own decision to step down as party leader and run for the position of UN High Commissioner. I can publicly state that I warned him against it, but it was his decision. He is a grown man and is now bearing the consequences of that decision - said Adam Bielan on Radio ZET.

- I warned him not to run for the UN position because he had no chance for that role. I don't know who talked him into it, but it certainly wasn't someone who wished him well - he continued.


09:17

Morawiecki:

I Know Where to Quickly Get 25 Billion PLN

- I know where to quickly get 25 billion PLN. Did you see the announced combined results of the banking sector a few days ago? Profits at the level of 50 billion PLN. What were the average annual profits of the banking sector? 13, 14, 15 billion. Let's assume even 20 billion is a profit for the banking sector that could be called decent. Let's assume there's a 30 billion surplus profit. What did the Minister of Finance do, why did he tax them on such a small scale? I proposed a bank tax that would be tied to the return on capital. We would have 25 billion in the budget - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.


09:10

Shouldn't We Vote for Braun Because the US Ambassador Dislikes Him? Bielan: That's a Terrible Argument

- That's a terrible argument not to vote for Braun, because this or that ambassador won't like it. We shouldn't vote for Braun because he is a politician whose heart beats in Moscow and with whom it will not be possible to govern, as Jarosław Kaczyński clearly stated - said Adam Bielan on Radio ZET.

- A vote for Braun is de facto a vote for the continuation of Donald Tusk's government, because if Law and Justice does not have enough votes to form a new government, and we will not form such a government with Braun, then Tusk will govern - he continued.


09:08

Morawiecki:

Unemployment has grown by 200,000 people in 2 years

- Indeed, if we delve too deeply into these types of conflicts, then in a year and a half, our main opponent, enemy, which is the current Prime Minister Donald Tusk, might achieve a majority of 231 votes. For the Polish economy, for Polish society, where unemployment has grown by 200,000 people in 2 years, this is truly 200,000 tragedies. Then it will truly be a hell that will continue - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.


09:03

Morawiecki on the situation in PiS:

The most important thing now is that we look to the future.

- The most important thing now is that we look to the future. There were various exchanges, shall we say, of pleasantries from different sides on Thursday and Friday, and I have spoken out on the matter related to this, Ryszard Terlecki, who is a very deserving person for PiS - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.


09:00

Bielan on Tusk:

Likely the Most Anti-American Politician in the Country, Besides Czarzasty.

- Today, the government is led by perhaps the most anti-American politician in the country, perhaps besides Czarzasty, Donald Tusk. He is a man who for years has been trying, fortunately unsuccessfully, to destroy our bilateral relations - said Adam Bielan on Radio ZET.


08:55

Bielan on Nawrocki and the Peace Council Inauguration:

If I were him, I would fly.

- Yes, I don't want to publicly advise the President, he knows best what he should do [...] but if I were him, I would fly - said Adam Bielan on Radio ZET, when asked if President Karol Nawrocki should fly to the Peace Council in Washington.

- It costs us nothing, contrary to popular opinion, membership in the Peace Council doesn't cost a billion dollars; this three-year membership is free, and it is another platform for contact with American authorities and for discussing matters important to us regarding security in our part of Europe - he continued.


08:45

Bielan on Asylum for Ziobro in Hungary:

It's Definitely Not Helping Us.

"It's definitely not helping us, but it's Zbigniew Ziobro's individual decision, and I think it's difficult to theorize from here in Poland," said Adam Bielan on Radio ZET when asked if asylum for Zbigniew Ziobro in Hungary harms PiS.

"Zbigniew Ziobro has cancer, and for him, arrest could simply mean a death sentence," he continued.


08:39

Bielan on US Ambassador Severing Ties with the Sejm Speaker:

These Remarks Were Unnecessary.

"I think these remarks were unnecessary, and especially the justification presented by the ambassador. I understand them because, as the ambassador of the United States, he must also look after the good name of the leader of the United States." - said Adam Bielan in Radio ZET, when asked if he was satisfied that the US ambassador had broken off contact with Marshal Czarzasty.

"However, in Mr. Czarzasty's case, there are many other reasons why Law and Justice demands his dismissal [...] primarily his very close ties with the Kremlin." - he continued.


08:37

Müller on SAFE:

The Same Was Said About Swiss Francs Once.

- There is an alternative. It's not as if it's SAFE or nothing. Therefore, under the current circumstances, the conditions that are emerging, namely a specific way of purchasing this equipment, the percentage share of components, the discretion of the European Commission regarding the disbursement of funds or not, I would rather opt for the use of domestic debt instruments, i.e., issuing domestic bonds - said Piotr Müller in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Here's a comparison that I think will be more understandable to everyone looking at it: it's like they used to say the same about Swiss francs. That it's better, that the exchange rate fluctuation risk is small. And everyone saw how that turned out. Here, the same exchange rate fluctuation risk arises. A long-term issue related to what will happen geopolitically and the burden this places on us - he stated.

- Therefore, it is usually better to take loans in your own currency, if that is, of course, possible - he added.


08:33

Bielan on the Theory That He, Among Others, Provoked the US Ambassador to Break Ties with Czarzasty:

Certainly Not Like That.

- I wish I had such an influence on world affairs, to the point where I could say that I dictate to the United States ambassador what to do and say, but unfortunately, that's not the case - Adam Bielan said on Radio ZET, when asked if there was "no deal" between him, Michał Kamiński, and the US ambassador, and if they were not the ones who provoked the ambassador to break ties with Włodzimierz Czarzasty.

- And certainly, that's not the case in this instance - he continued.


08:31

Müller Asked About PiS's Candidate for Prime Minister:

It Seems to Me It's Not the Right Time Yet.

"I'm not aware of any information that we should be indicating a candidate for prime minister now" - Piotr Müller stated in the "Piasecki's Conversation" program on TVN24.

Asked if the current circumstances warranted naming a prime ministerial candidate, he replied: "I don't know if this is the right moment. It seems to me that it's not yet. There are two years until the elections. [...] Two years until the elections is a very long time."

"If it were up to me, I believe it should rather be the second half of this year. But this is a matter of a certain communication timing that someone adopts" - he declared.


08:21

Should Kaczyński Clean House in PiS? Bielan: Yes

- Yes - Adam Bielan said in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program "Gość Radia ZET", responding to the question of "whether President Kaczyński should clean house in PiS".

- I confirm that public disputes do not serve us, just as they probably don't serve any party, and they should end - he continued.

- I have my own opinion on what happened, who provoked these incidents, but I don't want to talk about it publicly. I will save it for the meeting of the authorities of Law and Justice, which will probably take place soon - he continued.


08:12

Müller on the Situation within PiS:

Perhaps There Were Too Many Emotions.

- You have a problem because the chairman said that if anyone participates in this discussion, they will be suspended from PiS membership rights, so everyone must be silent today and lie low - stated Konrad Piasecki on TVN24.

- And that's very good, because perhaps there were too many emotions, and now these emotions should subside. I think it would be good today for emotions within our camp to subside in this regard, and program discussions should naturally enter the phase of an internal crucible of thought that should emerge - replied the guest of "Rozmowy Piaseckiego," Piotr Müller.


08:08

Müller Asked About the Kaleta-Terlecki Confrontation:

You Won't Persuade Me to Enter This Topic.

- As a long-time spokesperson, you won't persuade me to enter this topic and get drawn into some deeper discussion. What I wanted to say on this matter, I have written and conveyed - said Piotr Müller in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24, when asked about an incident involving Ryszard Terlecki and Sebastian Kaleta.

- I think further discussion on this matter is not needed today, because it stirs emotions within our political camp, and I would prefer us to focus on topics related to the current governmental challenges for Poland and for Europe - he stated.


07:57

Müller on the EU:

I Would Prefer We Stuck to the Core of PiS's Program.

"When PiS was being formed, when it was building its program, it had a defined platform, and part of that platform is currently under discussion. I would prefer that we, as a party, remained eurorealist, critical of what is happening in the European Union, but at the same time wanting to be a member of the European Union, this element, let's call it, of the broadly understood West, in the classic, good sense of the word." - said Piotr Müller in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.


07:00
