At 11:00 AM Polish time, Sejm Marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty will address the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

At 12:00 PM, a meeting of the Council of Ministers will commence. The agenda includes 3 draft acts forming part of the so-called deregulation projects, as well as several other projects, and the government's priorities – a report for Q4 2025.

At 12:00 PM, a press conference with Janusz Cieszyński and Dariusz Stefaniuk will be held in the Sejm.

At 2:00 PM in Warsaw, a press conference with PiS MPs Dariusz Piontkowski and Marzena Machałek will take place.

At 3:00 PM, the Sejm's Constitutional Accountability Committee will hear testimony from Dorota Szymanek, Krzysztof Senderowicz, Kamila Sukiennik, and Robert Szumski – summoned as witnesses in the case concerning the preliminary motion to bring NBP President Adam Glapiński to constitutional accountability before the State Tribunal.

- No, there is no such indication. In my opinion, Russia, which is fully responsible for this aggression – this war was initiated by Vladimir Putin’s decision – is not ready to concede today. Nor is it ready to stop. On its own, it will obviously not do this; it can be forced to by appropriate actions, whether military or sanction-based, economic, but these are probably not sufficient today – stated Marcin Przydacz in the "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" program on TVN24.

- Yes, I believe that the Russians are staging a certain performance to drag things out. I don't think they are actually ready for the final stage of negotiations. It's different with the Ukrainians; Ukrainians – I am convinced – see opportunities. I think the Americans would also like some success, especially in the perspective of the coming months, but it's difficult for me to imagine Moscow conceding without the language of force, without being compelled, especially in a situation where it doesn't have to. Such a Russia has never been and is not like that – he continued.

- We advocate for much broader sanctions – that's what we urge all those who can make such decisions to do, but we also urge them to cut off markets for Russian energy, for example. In this sense, the American success in removing India from the list of potential Russian clients is worth noting. We need more such directions, cutting Russia off from opportunities to acquire money - stated Marcin Przydacz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- I think that President Jarosław Kaczyński is largely right in using these arguments, but there are also other arguments emerging in public discourse, and the President has the final decision here in a 0-1 format – either he signs it or he doesn't, and he must weigh it appropriately. At the moment, there is no decision, he is considering both these possibilities, moreover, the act itself does not yet exist, the act has not left the Sejm – stated Marcin Przydacz in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.

- I think the President would say – Zbigniew Bogucki is an excellent head of the President's Chancellery. I understand that the opposition party today also needs a certain type of new faces, a new, young PiS, but there are plenty of fantastic politicians in PiS who could serve a similar function, and there's only one Zbigniew Bogucki, and he's needed in the President's Chancellery - stated Marcin Przydacz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- This is, of course, the decision of the main opposition party today, how it will direct its policy over the next 1.5 years. Clearly, such a designated potential candidate can help, because they will be a leader of discussions, in a sense, a partner for conversations. Personally, I believe that today the key and most important thing is to try to convince voters, not necessarily just with personalities… - stated Marcin Przydacz in the "Piasecki Interview" on TVN24.

- I have no comment on Mr. Kierwiński. He is not a discussion partner; he is some petty politician, a guy who, besides fawning over Donald Tusk, has really achieved nothing in his life – stated Marcin Przydacz on TVN24’s “Rozmowa Piaseckiego.”

- From our perspective, the situation looks like we are very close [to an agreement on ambassadors]. There is a proposal for moving forward, the president has offered a certain compromise, and for three weeks we have been waiting for Minister Sikorski to get Donald Tusk's approval to enter into such a compromise - stated Marcin Przydacz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- We need to cut through this chaos caused by the rebellion of some judicial circles. Some judicial circles, prompted by politicians, are trying to destabilize the Polish justice system by denying the judicial status to perhaps 3.5 thousand judges - stated Marcin Przydacz in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- This is, unfortunately, somewhat the nature of war. After so many years, it is natural that the resources we direct, have directed, and continue to direct towards helping Ukraine, the social situation, naturally align themselves in this way. And the Russians also know that war fatigue causes these types of mechanisms, and therefore we must be very careful here, of course, not to lead to a situation where Russia tries to call the shots within social emotions as well - said Piotr Müller in an interview with Marek Balawajder in „Poranny ring” in Super Express.

- However, there are also objective factors for certain political tensions between us and, for example, the Ukrainian government. Certain things that we have demanded, which are gradually being implemented, but perhaps not at the pace they should be. But this is, of course, very complicated. Let us remember that they have a regular war far in the east, we saw what happened in Kyiv during those frosts - he continued.

- It is very complicated, so we must be careful here. But I use this phrase: to help, but at the same time also to demand from the Ukrainian side. I think that one does not exclude the other - he indicated.

- This help is with a strong emphasis, because it is also important, and also important for those who are a bit skeptical about helping Ukraine, that we help them not only because we feel the need, that it is the right thing to do, but it is in the vital interest of our country. […] Even if someone does not feel the desire to help out of empathy, it is worth looking at it pragmatically, that Russia, fortunately, is far from us on this front - he stressed.

- Russia's aggression against Ukraine is a serious threat to the security of all of Europe. History teaches us that ignoring Russia's imperial ambitions has always led to tragedy - wrote Karol Nawrocki on social media.

- The democratic world must maintain unity in the face of such challenges. We expect the cessation of destabilizing actions in the region. We look with respect upon the courage of people who stand up for freedom every day - emphasized the President of the Institute of National Remembrance.

Rosyjska agresja na Ukrainę to poważne zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa całej Europy. Historia uczy nas, że ignorowanie imperialnych ambicji Rosji zawsze prowadziło do tragedii. Demokratyczny świat musi zachować jedność w obliczu takich wyzwań. Oczekujemy zaprzestania działań…

- I simply see a different and safer alternative [than SAFE], which is the issuance of Treasury bonds - said Piotr Müller in the "Morning Ring" of Super Express.

Responding to the argument that then we have to pay more for servicing this debt, he replied: - Sometimes more does not mean worse. Because if someone sets conditions on a loan that create a risk of non-payment, force a certain type of equipment or components that must be purchased, or ultimately means no equipment can be purchased without another partner from the European Union, meaning we are dependent in our purchases on some other EU country - these are not good limitations.

- I will say this with regret: you know that I, as government spokesperson, did not use such language and have no intention of using such language. I will just say that when arguments are lacking, when the strength of arguments is lacking, then such language is used, a language that divides. It is simply a language that has very little in common with serious public debate - said Piotr Müller in "Poranny ring" on Super Express.

The PiS MEP referred in this way to Prime Minister Tusk's words.

- It is shameful that the Prime Minister of the Polish government, on matters crucial to the country's security, uses language straight out of some, I don't know, dark alley in the worst part of town in the worst city. He simply shouldn't do that - he stated.

- I am deeply convinced that we will remain in Law and Justice. This is our party - said Piotr Müller in the "Morning Ring" of Super Express, when asked if by the end of this year Mateusz Morawiecki and his people would still be in PiS or would be looking for a new path.

- Yes, I feel comfortable in this party. However, this does not change the fact that within our party I also want to fight for a programmatic arrangement, a direction that, first, is as much as possible in line with my views, because every politician would always wish for that, and second - in a direction that will increase our support - he continued.

- We are in an uncomfortable situation where, after two years of Donald Tusk’s weak governance, we still have significantly lower support than in 2023. Today, I think many a PiS politician would readily accept the 2023 result and consider it a huge success, with around 35% support. So, this also shows that we need to adjust our policy, given that support has fallen during this time – said Piotr Müller in “Poranny ring” (Morning Ring) on Super Express.

- I have a feeling that this next joint package of 90 billion euros will be launched in the end, but we will have to work with Viktor Orbán on this matter. At the end of the day, we always managed to take decisions on subsequent sanction packages or other resolutions, but it is obviously a problem - said Adam Szłapka in an interview with Renata Grochal on "Bez uników" on Trójka.

- Poland generally does not believe that now is a good time to discuss treaty reform, and in fact, no European country, including Poland, is in favour of even starting such a discussion - said Adam Szłapka on Trójka, when asked if Poland would be in favour of abandoning the principle of unanimity in the EU.

- So far, despite difficult decisions, we have made decisions on the most important matters, and I think this decision-making formula is okay - he continued.

"This is, of course, harsh language used by the Prime Minister, but suddenly, at some point, politicians from Law and Justice [...] became very active in sabotaging the gigantic program of modernizing the Polish army, supporting our security, and building manufacturing capabilities for the defense industry in Poland," said Adam Szłapka in Trójka, when asked if the Prime Minister should use such language publicly (referring to the statement about "thick skulls").

"Members of Law and Justice, who claim they didn't have access to it and don't know what's in it or which companies are supposed to be involved, are of course lying, because this appendix is available in the National Defense Committee and they can review it under confidential conditions," he continued.

"The scale of the lies, of such anti-Polish actions by Law and Justice politicians regarding this program, is so great that, in my opinion, it justifies even the harshest language," he went on to say.

"It is very characteristic that the members of Law and Justice took these words personally," he added.

- We'll manage somehow, it will certainly be an obstruction, perhaps it won't go as quickly [...]. The President has a chance to participate in a good program, and it would be good if he took advantage of this opportunity - said Adam Szłapka on Trójka, when asked what would happen if the President did not sign the SAFE Act.

- I think that Jarosław Kaczyński's obsession requires not so much treatment, but at least therapy, because it is some kind of total obsession, but well-thought-out, of course. Thought-out to the extent that it is meant to evoke hatred in Poles towards a specific country or a specific group, and to build politics on that - said Adam Szłapka in Trójka, when asked about Jarosław Kaczyński's statement about "Poland under the German boot".

- If Jarosław Kaczyński says there won't be a coalition with Braun, it means there will be. Based on experience, after observing politics for so long, we know this. After all, there was supposed to be no Lepper in the government, Macierewicz was not supposed to be the Minister of National Defence - Adam Szłapka stated on Trójka.

- I am sure that Jarosław Kaczyński, if he has the opportunity, will try to form a coalition with Braun. And today, de facto, listening to what Law and Justice politicians are saying, Braun is the main driving force of Law and Justice and, in fact, its face - he continued.

"De facto, this law envisages imprisonment for rulings that are inconsistent with what the President thinks, because it prevents judges from being independent. Judges are supposed to rule according to their conscience based on the law, not on instructions issued by politicians. Therefore, it is absurd," said Adam Szłapka on Trójka.

"Most certainly, this law will not be proceeded with, because it would be humiliating for the entire parliamentary procedure in Poland," he continued.

- Regarding Marshal Czarzasty, I have, I would say, one positive and one negative aspect. Fortunately, this statement was very general in nature, it did not specify any dates or scope - said Piotr Zgorzelski in an interview with Agnieszka Burzyńska in "Morning Conversation" on Kanał Zero.

- I believe that such declarations, if they are made, should either be general in nature, when we wish Ukraine well to join the European Union after the war, okay, I accept that narrative - he continued.

- However, generally [...] not only Leszek Miller, but many politicians and not only politicians, to put it colloquially, got heated about this statement, because in my opinion, whether Marshal Czarzasty likes it or not, it carries specific implications - he went on to say.

- As a politician, but above all as a Pole who measures such statements and declarations against the national interest, I believe that if we were to place this statement in the here and now, there is no possibility for Ukraine to join the European Union - he added.

- Fortunately, he spoke generally - he emphasized, when asked if Włodzimierz Czarzasty harms Poland's national interest.

- Poland's interest, if we were to completely remove this situation from the entire wartime atmosphere, does not lie in Ukraine simply joining the European Union based on the declaration of Mr. Marshal Czarzasty - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Kanale Zero.

- Firstly, we must take care of the Polish economy and Polish agriculture [...]. Secondly, Ukraine must deal with [...] pervasive corruption. [...] The third matter [...] the issue of the genocide in Volhynia - he continued.

- Absolutely. This is not our plan at all, this is not our strategy – said Piotr Zgorzelski in Kanal Zero, when asked if he was in favor of "joining Donald Tusk's joint list.".

- Looking at the history of Jarosław Kaczyński and the Law and Justice party, I know he will not shy away from any coalition that enables his return to power. But now I think that is not the most important task and headache for Jarosław Kaczyński, because his biggest headache is that his party has become unruly - said Piotr Zgorzelski on Kanał Zero.

"Whatever one may say about the licensing of democracy when Kaczyński rules the state, he has perhaps loosened the reins of democracy within the party too much, because these wings and these factions, it's pleasant to watch the guys go at each other's throats," said Piotr Zgorzelski on Kanal Zero.

- The term "stubborn heads" concerned those who want to block money for Poland due to a lack of competence or sheer stupidity. Those who do it in the political or financial interest of foreign countries, I would call much stronger names - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on social media.

Termin „zakute łby” dotyczył tych, którzy chcą zablokować pieniądze dla Polski z powodu braku kompetencji lub zwykłej głupoty. Tych, którzy robią to w politycznym lub finansowym interesie obcych państw, nazwałbym zdecydowanie mocniej.

— Donald Tusk (@donaldtusk) February 24, 2026

- Don't you believe it's possible for a certain group of MPs to leave Law and Justice? - Piotr Zgorzelski said on Kanał Zero.

- I do believe it - he continued when asked if he believed so.

- Ultimately, the time will come when a solitary political decision must be made. I'm talking about Mateusz Morawiecki here, who is both an effective politician and a brilliantly prepared economist, and a man who has a good army of young, capable MPs around him, not only nationally but also for the European Parliament. Presumably, in connection with this, there are also some financial resources for the difficult times of creating a new entity - he went on to say.

Marshal of the Sejm Włodzimierz Czarzasty participated in the ceremonies marking the 4th anniversary of the commencement of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. Russian troops attacked Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Today in Kyiv, Ukrainian authorities and invited guests paid tribute to the Ukrainian soldiers who died defending their homeland.

- 4 years since Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine. The Coalition of Willing speaks with one voice: support for Ukraine will continue for as long as it takes. Evil cannot triumph - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

— Donald Tusk (@donaldtusk) February 24, 2026

- Four years ago, Russia, our common enemy, against all principles of international law, driven by hatred for Ukrainian independence and democracy, carried out an unprecedented invasion of Ukraine. And your nation was very resolute, and we are impressed by your heroism. On behalf of myself and the Polish Parliament, I wish to thank you for this. You have proven that the independence of your homeland, the freedom of your nation, is an important definition for you - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty during his address to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

- On behalf of the Polish nation, I bow my head to all who have fallen in defense of an independent Ukraine, in defense of our common European civilization against the fanaticism of Kremlin leaders, who pose a threat to us all and are ready to commit any crime to satisfy their deranged dreams of rebuilding the Russian empire. I condemn President Putin as a criminal, and those who, by his order, commit murder and rape against the Ukrainian people - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty during his address to the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada.

- Mr. Speaker, Esteemed Deputies, I am a politician and I want to speak primarily about the present and the future. However, I cannot fail to thank Ruslan Stefanchuk, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, for his great and moving words: 'We understand your pain,' delivered in the Polish Sejm in May 2023, and directed at the relatives and loved ones of Polish victims of the Volhynian tragedy - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty during his speech in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

- I also thank the Ukrainian authorities for enabling the resumption of exhumations in Volhynia. This is an important step, significant not only for public opinion but also for building a mature, responsible historical memory that serves both our nations. May history be a shared commitment and a foundation of trust. May it not rule politics - he continued.

- I will always work towards cooperation among all major political forces in the Polish parliament for the friendship of Poland and Ukraine. Although you know that not everyone likes this - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty during his speech at the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

- When invaded Ukraine lacked weapons, Poland shared its resources and, together with other European countries, formed coalitions for military support. We are constantly acting as a logistical hub, providing support in your fight against the aggressor. Four years ago, you entrusted a million of your children to the care of Poles. One nation trusted another. Other Ukrainian children suffered the tragedy of occupation - he continued.

- Poland supported mechanisms for prosecuting and punishing Russia for illegal deportations. In September 2024, the Sejm of the Republic of Poland adopted a resolution condemning the abduction of Ukrainian children. Poland also presented evidence to its partners in the EU regarding the involvement of Lukashenka's regime in the forced resettlement of children. When Putin, this winter, through inhumane attacks with his missiles and drones on Ukrainian - he emphasized.

- There can be no free Poland without a free Ukraine, and no free Ukraine without a free Poland. A free, but also a safe Poland, Ukraine, and Europe - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty during his address to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

- One of the most important security guarantees for Ukraine and its development will be its accession to the European Union. Poland fully supports these aspirations. You will be in the European Union! - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty during his address to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

- I would like to inform you that, as a result of a joint decision by the Speakers of the Verkhovna Rada and the Sejm, we have established a support group for Ukraine in its EU integration process. This group comprises both parliamentarians and experts aware of the scale of various challenges and difficulties along this path. I am convinced that Polish experience will prove very useful to the Ukrainian side – if you choose to utilize it - he continued.

- Polish-Ukrainian relations are strong and partnership-based today. Poland was, is, and will be in solidarity with Ukraine. Let us not be deceived by propaganda and disinformation from the enemy. You can be sure that all democratic political forces in our country will continue to stand in solidarity with Ukraine - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty during his address to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

- We have just concluded a meeting between the President and Deputy Prosecutors General, prosecutors. One could say this meeting was part of a series of meetings the President has had with representatives of the judiciary - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- The President has been holding a series of these meetings to obtain information in connection with very bad signals coming from the justice system - he continued.

- Today, we are dealing with a government that is ostentatiously, absolutely consciously, and deliberately trying to destroy the Polish justice system in many aspects of its functioning - he continued.

- The President sees how destructive the actions of the current government are, first by Minister Bodnar, and now particularly by Minister Żurek - he added.

- Currently, the Supreme Court, the First President of the Supreme Court, is being attacked in such a frontal manner - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- Minister Żurek speaks of us not having the First President of the Supreme Court, but rather a person performing the duties of the First President of the Supreme Court. I recall that the several-year term of the First President of the Supreme Court is slowly expiring, elections will be held soon, and this is obviously related to an attempt to influence this outcome or the procedure of the Supreme Court - he continued.

- The executive branch, and particularly the Minister of Justice, has nothing to say in this regard; according to the Constitution and laws, they have never had and do not have anything to say in free Poland when it comes to the election of the First President of the Supreme Court - he went on to say.

- Following the announcements by both Minister Pełczyńska-Nałęcz and Minister Hennig-Kloska, and this joint cooperation with all MPs who until recently were in the Poland 2050 parliamentary club, firstly, there is no threat to the coalition's stability, and the government majority is absolutely stable - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.

- But I also think there is no particular need to renegotiate the coalition agreement. The coalition agreement was signed at the very beginning and serves its role well. If there is such a need, then the leaders of the groups forming the coalition will make any such decisions - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.

- The Polish State is not a private estate of a single association, one party, or even a coalition. The Polish State is the foundations of the system enshrined in the Constitution and laws that have undergone a full legislative process - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- If certain associations, this one or that one, believe they will pursue the corporate interests of their members and act completely without a legal basis, then the President does not agree with this, and there will be full consistency if such a process, I am talking about the process of appointing the new National Council of the Judiciary, is marred by errors - he continued.

- The Marshal of the Sejm, based on the provisions of this law, which has been repeatedly attacked and questioned in the media or politically, but not legally, by the currently ruling camp, has initiated the recruitment process for these 15, or the selection of 15 judicial members for the National Council of the Judiciary - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- So, those in power must decide today: either they do not recognize this law, in which case this recruitment cannot be carried out, or they carry it out according to the Marshal of the Sejm's decision, which is materializing, and consequently, this selection must be made based on the principles enshrined in the law. But then they would have to admit that everything they've been saying is simply one big lie - he continued.

- With absolute certainty, Minister Żurek, the government, and the parliamentary majority will not lack the determination to reform the Polish judiciary. It is unfortunate that the President has sided with chaos in the judiciary, as there is no doubt about that - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.

- The bill that was proposed to the President concerning the National Council of the Judiciary was an extremely unconstitutional law. And these are not my words, nor is it even a statement by the President of the Republic - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- During the legislative process, pay attention, the Supreme Court, the National Council of the Judiciary, the State Election Commission, the Supreme Administrative Court, but also, pay attention, legislators in the Senate pointed out far-reaching irregularities or the unconstitutionality of this law - he continued.

- What did Minister Żurek and the ruling majority do about it? They voted it through and tried to force the president to sign this unconstitutional law. It was a legal blunder that all these institutions warned against - he went on to say.

- It's interesting how Marshal Czarzasty handled this proposal. The Marshal of the Sejm, who just a few, a dozen days ago presented himself as a defender of the sovereignty of the Polish state, who spoke about external factors not dictating to the highest authorities what they should do, the first thing he did with the presidential bill concerning the restoration of the right to court was to refer it, or send it, to the Venice Commission - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- I understand that the Marshal might have a habit of always needing instructions from somewhere, but we live, Mr. Marshal, ladies and gentlemen, in a free country - he continued.

- There is a presidential initiative, there is a Marshal who should submit this presidential bill for Sejm debate [...]. We truly do not need any other instruments from outside the Republic of Poland, which do not fit into the constitutional order of the Polish state, in order to decide what happens in our Polish home, what happens to the Polish justice system - he went on to say.

- Information is reaching us that an attempt is being prepared, through resolutions, various opinions, or again a regulation, which cannot change the law, to dismiss prosecutors, deputy prosecutors general, or rather, to unlawfully remove them from office - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- For over two years, not even Prosecutor General Bodnar was able or dared to lay a hand on the deputy prosecutors general, or rather, to lay a hand on the statutory, exclusive prerogative of the President of the Republic [...] it is the President of the Republic who consents to dismissal. Any other attempt to deprive any of the deputy prosecutors general of their office will be blatant unlawfulness, it will be a crime, and this message I am directing primarily to Mr. Minister Żurek - he continued.

- Perhaps in this gesture of despair, he will still try to demonstrate such an act of unlawfulness, but we warn, Mr. Minister, that this is an absolutely unlawful action, both in the constitutional and criminal-legal context - he went on to say.

- I think that if such an action is planned anywhere at all, I propose that the Minister of Justice does not undertake such unlawful actions, because sooner or later it will be associated with appropriate proceedings and responsibility when the prosecution and the state function properly - he added.

- Marshal Czarzasty has seemingly confused his functions, hasn't he? Because he has not only spoken on behalf of Poland, which he is not authorized to do, about Ukraine's accession to the European Union, but he is also speaking, as I understand it, on behalf of the entire European community - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- I would like to know from the Marshal where he has the competencies for this and where he has legal or even political grounds for it, because it seems he has neither legal, formal, nor political ones - he continued.

- Perhaps it's like the Marshal's veto; the Marshal invented something, went to Ukraine, and spoke nonsense about how he would bring Ukraine [into the EU], how he assured them about what would happen in Poland and in the European Union - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- If he wasn't the Marshal of the Sejm, it might have been funny [...] but we are dealing with the second highest official in the state, and such statements compromise the reputation of the Polish state - he continued.

- I think that Donald Tusk revealed himself in this statement [about "thick skulls"] as an agent, an agent of contempt, an agent of political hate. I think Donald Tusk revealed himself in this statement in an absolute way. Today I saw the Prime Minister's post, in which he is trying to backtrack from this contemptuous, offensive statement, which is unbecoming not only of a prime minister but of a decent person, but it has already spread, the milk has been spilled – said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- Such a statement should disqualify not only the prime minister [...] but I think any normal, decent, well-mannered person – he continued.

- There is no Plan A. There is either a plan that complies with the law, or a plan that does not. If Minister Żurek speaks of some Plan B, meaning some additions, some appendices, some prostheses that he is trying to attach to the act and to the Constitution, then that will always be contrary to the law - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- There is no Plan B. Either there is legal action and a legal choice, or there isn't. Meaning, Plan B is the invention of Minister Żurek and this coalition; there is no Plan B, there is a plan that complies with the Act on the National Council of the Judiciary, in compliance with the Constitution, or there is a plan of lawlessness. This Plan B is a plan of lawlessness - he continued.

"Regarding SAFE [...] it is a big challenge, yes, and a very difficult decision facing the President," said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

"As for these amendments, we do not hide the fact that they were discussed to some extent here by the President's administration [...] also with government representatives," he continued.

"These amendments were meant to go much further. In this regard, there is no satisfaction on the President's side, because not all the amendments that, it would seem, we even agreed upon, meaning, not disputed, have been included. These two amendments, the one concerning budget issues and the one concerning control or reporting [...] these are good amendments, but whether they change the image of the act, I do not know," he went on to say.

"The President must answer this in the end, when the act in its final form lands on the President's desk. The very dangerous issue of conditionality still remains," he added.

- A new parliamentary club has emerged as a result of the [Poland 2050] split [...], but from the perspective of the government's work, it has not caused any disruption for us, - said Maciej Berek in an interview with Marek Tejchman on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

- The recommendation [from Poland 2050 for ministers who left the party] has been withdrawn. The prime minister decides on the composition of the government. There are no changes in the government's composition [...], nothing so far suggests that such changes are to appear, - he indicated.

- We are working with the same team, on the same principles, exactly as before this change that took place in Poland 2050, - he stated.

- The Prime Minister decides on the composition of the government, and I think there should always be one answer to this question. The head of government decides how the cabinet is formed. The Prime Minister, the head of our government, is Donald Tusk, and he forms this government with personnel as he deems appropriate - said Maciej Berek in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, when asked if Poland needs a new Deputy Prime Minister.

- 126 [deregulation] changes have come into force. The President vetoed 18. That's a lot. I am surprised by this number because these deregulation proposals are absolutely apolitical in nature - said Maciej Berek in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- They were voted on in the Sejm with majorities such that sometimes all MPs in the chamber raised their hands "for". Despite this, the President vetoed several of them - he indicated.

- We will return to some of them [deregulation proposals], but the vast majority of them are not of such a nature that one could say: they will arouse someone's objections, someone's emotions - said Maciej Berek in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- What is to raise objections in a change that, for example, concerned the simplification of electricity bills in the sense that they would be more readable? We will return with this proposal because the president vetoed it, because we want electricity consumers to better understand what they are receiving - he announced.

- When the President announced that he would implement his program and expected the parliamentary majority, which is not a majority supporting him, to suddenly start voting for presidential projects, not their own – those that the groupings forming this coalition are preparing – then he demonstrated a perhaps overly surprising forecast regarding the future - said Maciej Berek on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

- The law to lower electricity bills [authored by the president] is not needed because at the moment we already have tariffs approved by the regulator, by the Energy Regulatory Office (URE), at a level that recently required legislative intervention. Already without the law, based on the tariffs submitted by energy suppliers, the URE has approved tariffs at amounts that until now we had to, forgive the word, force through legislation. There is no longer a need to lower these prices - said Maciej Berek on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

Sejm Chancellery informed that Marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty spoke about how to end the war in Ukraine at the Yalta European Strategy in Kyiv. YES is an international conference organized annually in Ukraine since 2004.

The event brings together leaders from the world of politics, business, media, and civil society. The Marshal participated in a discussion on how European countries can ensure security for Ukraine and the entire continent.

- I am for a strong European Union. European countries are weak on their own, but united, they can and must play a greater role than they do now - he said.

- The letter of this law [on the KRS], which is in effect, will be fully respected – let that be clear. The law as it currently stands will be adhered to. If the judicial community is well mobilized to present the true scale of support for their candidates, the Sejm will certainly take that into consideration – said Maciej Berek on Polsat News’s “Gość Wydarzeń.”

- I can speak on behalf of the parliamentary clubs that form the government’s support base, on behalf of the clubs of the October 15th coalition. These recommendations will be taken into account. There is no automatism here – he stated.

- The Sejm is autonomous in its decision-making. I think this will be clarified soon. I assume that during this session, a Sejm resolution will be processed, explaining how the clubs of the October 15th coalition intend to approach the election of judges to the KRS – announced the minister for overseeing the implementation of government policy.

- "Free Media" are on the offensive. Yesterday they focused on revealing my illnesses, today they are targeting my wife. Who, after almost 19 years of service, during which she literally risked her life, being the first line of defense for the Republic of Poland (and thus for the journalists who brazenly trade on her image today) with every combat duty - retired early. And out of a sense of ongoing duty to the state - she joined the "Active Reserve" program - wrote Szymon Hołownia on social media.

- When the time comes for reflection, yes - PiS had sticky fingers and turned the media into a sewer, but it couldn't even hate the way the "democratic camp," its media, and its sycophants did. Shame on you, Polityka editorial team - emphasized the former Marshal of the Sejm.

„Wolne Media” w natarciu. Wczoraj zajęły się ujawnianiem moich chorób, dziś na afisz biorą moją żonę. Która po prawie 19. latach służby, w której dosłownie narażała życie, przy każdym dyżurze bojowym będąc pierwszym ogniwem obrony RP (a więc i bezczelnie handlujących dziś jej… pic.twitter.com/YBKD5bUzlO
