Szłapka Calls on Nawrocki Regarding SAFE:

Zero Concrete Details for Now.

- Safe 0%? For now, zero concrete details. The FINALIZED law on SAFE is on the President's desk - wrote Adam Szłapka on social media.

- And if additional funds are found, Poland will benefit. There is no time to lose, it's time to sign - emphasized the government spokesperson.

Tusk Must Have Received an Ultimatum from the European Commission. Błaszczak on SAFE

- By rejecting President Nawrocki's excellent proposal and demanding the signing of the law on harmful loans from the EU, the ruling party only proves that their entire dispute is not about security - wrote Mariusz Błaszczak on social media.

- Donald Tusk must have received an ultimatum from the European Commission, because SAFE is nothing more than another step towards EU centralization and the relinquishing of national competencies. Safe arms procurement, without interest and conditionality, as proposed by the President, is the only correct path. Tusk's government is acting against the national interest - emphasized the head of the PiS parliamentary club.

Fogiel on Morawiecki's Friday Press Conference:

Perhaps the Timing Could Have Been Better.

- Perhaps the timing [of Mateusz Morawiecki's conference], to put it crudely in English, could have been improved. I assume this type of conference isn't organized overnight, so it was likely planned in advance. But please don't worry, we will handle all of this perfectly - said Radosław Fogiel on TVP Info.

Kierwiński on Miszalski:

He will have to defend himself in this referendum.

- However, I would distinguish between two aspects of a political referendum. A referendum supported by President Michalski's opponent in the elections, Mr. Gibała. Of course, [people are signing] and they have the right to do so. And the President will have to defend himself in this referendum. But perhaps a political action, because this is political, is something else. Well, there is no doubt about that - stated Marcin Kierwiński on TOK FM.

Morawiecki's New Clip:

They Are Indebting Poland Massively.

- Did you know that Poland's debt is almost PLN 2 trillion? That's 25,974 such pallets, and if you lined them up, we'd have over 31 km of pallets with money. We could fit them into 787 trucks, and if you were to lay them out on a field, we'd need 4 national stadiums. They are indebting Poland massively - says the narrator in a clip published by Mateusz Morawiecki on social media.


08:53

Kierwiński on Interest Rate Cuts:

A Good Decision from the Perspective of Poles.

- Regarding the interest rate cut - a good decision, good for Poles. Yes, I believe it's a good decision - stated Marcin Kierwiński on TOK FM.

- Please remember that for many years, Mr. Glapiński pursued a policy that did not touch interest rates simply because he was walking hand in hand with the PiS government - said the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

- From the perspective of Poles, this is a good decision, so I say this with full responsibility - he added.

- From the perspective of the state, it seems to me that interest rates have been kept at too high a level in recent years by Mr. President Glapiński and the Monetary Policy Council - he emphasized.


08:52

Kierwiński:

Glapiński Was Always a PiS Politician. He Stands Beside the President, Who is Also a PiS Politician

- Glapiński was always a PiS politician. He stands beside the president, who is also a PiS politician, so nothing has changed - stated Marcin Kierwiński on TOK FM.


08:37

Kierwiński:

In the End, the President's Proposal Will Amount to a Few, Perhaps Several Dozen Billion More

- No mechanism collapsed during this conference. So I say that any additional money... In my opinion, it will end with the president's proposal being a few, perhaps several dozen billion more. That's why I'm talking about supplementing it - stated Marcin Kierwiński on TOK FM.


08:35

Kierwiński on the Polish SAFE 0%:

It Looks Like a Slogan

- I don't know, Poles don't know, and probably Mr. Glapiński himself doesn't yet know [where to find PLN 185 billion] - stated Marcin Kierwiński on TOK FM.

- I don't know, I listened to Mr. Glapiński's conference with the President yesterday. To be honest - zero specifics. It looks like a slogan. 0% credit always sounds nice. Short-term loans also advertise themselves like that. However, I didn't hear any specifics - continued the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

- I must say that I would expect a slightly more serious message from the head of state in this regard. Because this is a fundamental matter. And one more very important thing, and I say this from the perspective of the Minister of Interior and Administration - every additional zloty will be useful for the Polish army, for the Polish police, for the Polish Border Guard - he emphasized.


08:32

Leśkiewicz on the Polish SAFE 0%:

This Isn't Justification for a Veto.

- No, this isn't justification for a veto [the SAFE 0% proposal]. It's a presentation of a concrete proposal to the government. We will discuss the details soon - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz on Polsat News' "Graffiti."


08:29

Leśkiewicz on Poland's SAFE 0%:

This Money is for Quick Use.

- This money is for quick use. According to President Glapiński's assurances, these funds can be accessed quickly, provided that the appropriate legislative process is carried out swiftly, and this is precisely what the discussions to be organized in the coming days are intended to address - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

They Worry Unnecessarily That SAFE Will Make Us Dependent on the EU Until 2070. Sikorski Responds to Nawrocki and the Right

- The right-wing and Mr. President worry unnecessarily that SAFE will make us dependent on the EU until 2070. The money must be drawn and spent by 2030. After that, it will be in the EU's interest for Poland to repay the loan - Radosław Sikorski wrote on social media.


08:06

Leśkiewicz:

A meeting will take place in the coming days, provided the Prime Minister and the Minister accept the invitations

- This is drawing on the reserves that the NBP has, and President Glapiński also said that we want to discuss the details with the Polish government, with the Prime Minister, with Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz. A meeting will certainly take place in the coming days, provided, of course, that the Prime Minister and the Minister accept the President's invitation to meet and discuss this solution - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

Leśkiewicz on Poland's SAFE 0%: Discussing Reserves and Investment Processes Based on NBP Reserves

- The point is that the NBP has pursued a very active and thoughtful policy related to investing its reserves, both foreign currency and gold, over the past few years. We have almost a trillion zlotys in reserves accumulated at the NBP. We have 550 tons of gold and reserves in various currencies, mainly dollars and euros, but also in others - stated Rafał Leśkiewicz in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- In the last 30 months alone, investment operations utilizing the reserves at the disposal of the NBP have generated over PLN 180 billion in revenue for the NBP. This involves a solution designed to leverage the very fact of the NBP possessing reserves to finance purchases for the Polish army, police, and other uniformed services, including the Government Protection Bureau (SOP) and the Border Guard. This is one element of this solution - he continued.

- We are talking about reserves and the investment process based on NBP reserves. We can utilize funds that, based on investments made using these reserves, can finance a program to co-finance the Polish army. This is one way we [de facto monetize profit on gold]. This is one of the solutions proposed by the President together with Governor Glapiński - emphasized the President's spokesman.

Siemoniak:

All NATO special services are on alert due to potential Iranian reaction

- I am the minister for imagining the worst-case scenarios and preparing the state for them. This is also how the entire government operates, so naturally, all NATO special services are on alert due to the potential reaction from Iran - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" (Piasecki's Conversation).

- Iran is humiliated, defeated, and lacks the capacity for effective action, at least at this moment. It might send missiles and drones at its neighbours, but this is not an effective way of waging war. And the weak and humiliated resort to terrorism - he continued.


07:41

Siemoniak on a potential veto of the SAFE implementation act:

It will be more expensive, harder, and equipment will reach the Polish Army later.

- Unfortunately, the political logic pursued by President Nawrocki suggests to me that this was a step towards saying there is a veto - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in the “Piasecki Conversation” on TVN24.

- Prime Minister Tusk spoke about this; it [a potential veto of the SAFE implementation act] means it will be more expensive, harder, and that these funds will reach Polish industry later, and equipment will reach the Polish Army later. This is exactly what it’s all about - he continued.


07:37

Siemoniak on Polish SAFE 0%:

Purely Political Aim to Create a Pretext for the President's Veto,

- If they wanted to discuss this seriously, there are various bodies. It's not as if the NBP Governor has 150-200 billion PLN in his pocket and can now say: ah, I'll direct this to that. I believe the aim is purely political, to create a pretext for the President to veto the SAFE act. Optimistically, he might not veto it, because then he will say – well, okay, I'll sign this SAFE for you, since the military is insisting, everyone is insisting, but we still have the so-called SAFE 0 - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" (Piasecki's Conversation).


07:36

Siemoniak on Polish SAFE 0%:

Why Wasn't This Done Earlier, When PiS Was Amassing Tens of Billions in Debt?

- For me, yesterday's address by the President with the NBP President is not a desire to strengthen Poland's security or increase the amount of money, but a simple reaction to the trouble, the problem the President has with vetoing or not vetoing SAFE. Unprepared, a whole host of doubts - stated Tomasz Siemoniak in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Why wasn't this done earlier, when PiS was accumulating tens of billions of zlotys in debt for military purchases? After all, the Armed Forces Support Fund relies on selling bonds, and we are buying on credit from Korea. Where were President Glapiński and, I don't know, Prime Minister Morawiecki then? - he continued.
