Kierwiński:

Czarnek? We were supposed to have a new face of PiS, but we got slightly used goods with scandals to his name

- I will neither deny anything to him [Przemysław Czarnek], nor discuss it particularly strongly. We were supposed to have a new face of PiS, a new dynamic politician. And what did we get? We got some goods, forgive the colloquialism, slightly used – in the sense that he carries all those scandals that Morawiecki carried with him – said Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- Well, Czarnek didn't appear here suddenly, he didn't pop up. He is not this wonderful new child, Kaczyński's new idea. He is a politician who has a very, very negative past, because he has scandals to his name, and unacceptable statements – he continued.


08:09

Cymański on PiS:

I Hope There Will Be No Suicidal Actions.

- I am calm about this wing, because I think that if in PiS, and I hope there will be no suicidal actions, if we maintain a very strong current and faction associated with more liberal-thinking individuals, then there is a chance, and I am convinced that this is the thinking, that's how I think, these are also the analyses of our party leaders, so it's not the case that PiS will become an extremely right-wing party - stated Tadeusz Cymański in the "Morning Ring" program of Super Express.

Kaczyński's Panic Move to Reverse Voter Exodus Towards Two Confederations: Kierwiński on Czarnek

- I don't have the impression that he is a politician [Przemysław Czarnek] who will bring new voters to PiS. This is rather a desperate attempt by Kaczyński to reverse the trend of voters fleeing from PiS towards Konfederacja or Grzegorz Braun's Konfederacja - said Marcin Kierwiński in "Graffiti" Polsat News.

- It was even an unwritten doctrine of Kaczyński's that nothing can grow to the right of PiS, that Kaczyński panics whenever anything grows. [...] Now, not only has something grown, but two serious political forces have emerged. And Kaczyński is not approaching this with Czarnek - at least at this stage - he's not saying: I'm going for victory. He's saying: I will do everything to eliminate my competition on the right - he stated.


08:26

"There Are No Free Lunches in Life'. Kierwiński Expects Concrete Proposals from the President on SAFE 0%

- The SAFE program, which is currently on the table, must be signed for the good of the Polish army. Regardless of this Polish version [SAFE 0%]. […] Poland's broadly understood security: both military and civilian, in the sense of being subordinate to the Ministry of Interior and Administration, requires gigantic investments for the coming years. And indeed, SAFE will be utilized, and additional funds, if we find them, if the President provides specifics on this mechanism, will also be utilized - said Marcin Kierwiński in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- I am constantly grappling with the fact that the police should have more money, the border guard should have more money. I assure both you and the President: we will utilize these additional funds - he declared.

As he noted, referring to the idea of the President and the head of the NBP: - Let this program, let this proposal be verified by economists. It's not that there are any free lunches in life. It's not that Glapiński will suddenly bring a package of gold to Nawrocki and say: "Spend this without consequences." It is understood that this will also affect the exchange rate of the zloty, the stability of the Polish financial sector. These are all costs that must be measured.


08:49

Kierwiński Responds to Czarnek on Fuel Prices:

Don’t be a fool, listen to your idol.

“Fuel at 8 PLN. [...] Millions for yourselves, price hikes for Poles. That’s how PiS governs” - Marcin Fijołek in Polsat News's “Graffiti” quoted a 2022 post by Marcin Kierwiński, asking about the current situation regarding fuel prices.

- My tweet from 2022 was a tweet very much rooted in reality. Record inflation, record price hikes for consumer goods, record scandals, record corruption, and all of that was true. Today, we are dealing with inflation at a controlled, low level. We defeated it after the PiS governments. Today, we are settling PiS's scandals - responded the Minister of the Interior and Administration.

As he admitted: - We have indeed had a problem with fuel prices for several days or a dozen or so days. This is because the main producers of crude oil, and fuels in a broad sense, are currently blocked, or the transport of this oil from them is blocked due to the war that the United States initiated.

When the host pointed out that a war also broke out in 2022, which affected global markets, he replied: - And do you want to compare, I don't know, inflation – what it is now, and what it was then under the PiS government? We can compare that. My tweet broadly showed how predatory the PiS government's policy was towards Polish citizens.

The journalist noted that today Przemysław Czarnek is talking about Orlen's predatory policy. Kierwiński replied: - If PiS politicians, Przemysław Czarnek, he is in love with President Trump – then I suggest he listen to President Trump. President Trump said: “Fuel prices went up, you fools, they had to go up because there is a war, they will drop soon.”

- So, Mr. Czarnek – don’t be a fool, listen to your idol - he summarized.


08:59

Czarnek on the fuel price bill proposal:

What is Tusk's government doing? Nothing, as usual.

- 24 hours have passed since I proposed a bill to lower fuel prices. What is Tusk's government doing? Nothing, as usual… - wrote Przemysław Czarnek on social media.

- Perhaps from their government limousines, they cannot see that diesel will soon cost PLN 8 per liter, and 95 octane gasoline PLN 7 per liter - the PiS candidate for Prime Minister pointed out.


09:04

Kierwiński on KO Elections:

Mistakes Happen, Sometimes the Fight is Too Fierce. Protests Will Be Considered.

- I understand the emotional testimony of Madam Marshal Wielichowska. You know how close it is, and there, I believe in Lower Silesia, the elections for the regional head ended with a difference of six votes out of over 1000 people who voted. These are emotions, and as in any democratic process, the person who believes there were any doubts or irregularities has the right to appeal. Madam Marshal Wielichowska has filed such an appeal. It will be considered - said Marcin Kierwiński on Polsat News’ “Graffiti”.

- [It will be considered by] The election commission, headed by Madam Marshal Dorota Niedziela. Experienced people, who also conducted our previous elections. Many commission members in this term are exactly the same as in the previous term, so this process will be considered - he continued.

- Over 16,000 people voted. Probably various kinds of mistakes, shortcomings. […] Where there is competition, sometimes […] this electoral fight is too fierce. But as I say - these mistakes happen, the election commission will consider it and it will decide. This is a democratic process - he assured.

"These people will end up where they belong – some in prison, others in psychiatric facilities." Kaczyński on the "Putin Group"

- I haven't been here for a month, and it turns out that after this month, everything is still the same. The Putin group operates here as before, with impunity, without a proper reaction from law enforcement, without a proper reaction from the courts, without a proper reaction from the state, this cardboard state that we have today. But I assure you that we have embarked on a path towards this state becoming history, a shameful history, and a truly strong Poland will be built, and it will deal with this pathetic agency - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in Warsaw, during the commemorations of the so-called Smoleńsk monthly anniversary.

- These people will end up where they belong. Some in prison, others in psychiatric facilities. And this will be the end of all that is happening here, and it will be possible to peacefully commemorate everything we commemorate every month, despite all these obstacles, despite this fury, this hatred. Poland will win, good will win, and all of this that we see here today will pass into shameful history - continued the PiS leader.


09:42

Szefernaker on High Fuel Prices:

The Government is Expected to Act, Not Throw Up Its Hands.

- Szczecin. Verva diesel at Orlen now over 8 PLN. The government is expected to act, not throw up its hands!!! - wrote Paweł Szefernaker on social media.


10:11

New PiS Spot Featuring Czarnek:

Awakening. Time for the Voice of Poles!

- The real Poland is the one that works, that protects our security, that saves lives. This is the real Poland - says Przemysław Czarnek in a new PiS spot.

- Polish public life usually requires someone who represents, who somehow integrates all of this. I am deeply convinced that Professor Przemysław Czarnek is such a person at this moment - emphasizes Jarosław Kaczyński.

- We want to focus on the real Poland. We want to restore this real Poland to Poles, so that the normal, ordinary Pole is once again a subject in their own state, and we must help these ordinary Poles, because Poland does not belong to politicians, Poland belongs to all Poles - continues the PiS candidate for prime minister.


12:14

Tusk:

We have received information that the President has decided to veto the SAFE program

- Immediately after the government meeting, Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, Minister Domański, and I will go to President Nawrocki's office, where the President of the National Bank of Poland, Adam Glapiński, will also be present. Despite multiple requests, we have not yet received any information regarding the National Bank of Poland's contribution to financing Polish defense industry and Polish defense - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the government meeting.

- I hope that during this visit we will learn something concrete. So far, all signals coming from that side indicate that we are dealing with some rather suspicious operations, and I want to obtain full clarity and transparency before we make any decisions on this matter - he continued.

- We have also received information that the President has already decided to veto the SAFE program. This is very bad news, and I will directly ask the President if this is indeed the case. It would be an unforgivable mistake. We know well how much effort Poland has put into the creation of this program - emphasized the head of government.


12:18

Tusk announces Plan B after potential SAFE veto:

I am deeply moved by these signals.

- We are scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz and his colleagues, as well as with generals, immediately after the government session. This is so that, in a situation where a veto were to actually occur, we can prepare Plan B. To be honest, I am deeply moved by these signals - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the government session.

- I cannot understand how, in a situation of global conflicts and war on our border, one can even think about blocking matters like SAFE and these billions for the Polish Armed Forces and the Polish defense industry - he continued.


12:22

Tusk on SAFE:

One Way or Another, We Will Find a Way for This Money to Reach Poles.

- I want to assure all of you, especially those who are waiting in dozens of cities in Poland for this money, in hundreds of workplaces, that whatever the President and the Chairman have come up with, we will, one way or another, find a way for this money to reach Poles, but unfortunately, it will cost a lot more time and negotiations, convincing partners, but I will do everything, and effectively, to achieve this outcome one way or another. It’s just a shame about the time, above all - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government session.


13:27

Tusk Meets with Generals:

Poland's Security Cannot Depend on a Single Signature.

- Poland's security cannot depend on a single signature – that is why we are discussing a Plan B with the generals of the Polish Army. - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on social media.


13:46

Szłapka on Today's Meeting Regarding SAFE:

After This Meeting, We Will Provide Updates on Further Matters.

- The SAFE Act, which is currently on the President's desk, would make the implementation of this program faster, easier, and simpler. However, if such a decision is made due to some political interest of a particular group, the government will, of course, prepare solutions that will allow Poland's defense industry to develop and strengthen, enable the Polish Army to make necessary purchases, and ensure Polish citizens are simply safe - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM).

- We will see what today's meeting [at the President's] brings. After this meeting, we will certainly provide updates on further matters - he continued.


13:54

Leśkiewicz Responds to Tusk's Words:

Not the First Time We've Had to Explain the Constitutional Order to the Prime Minister.

- Not for the first time have we had to explain to the Prime Minister what the constitutional order in Poland is. Decisions regarding laws are made by the President of the Republic of Poland. The President has until March 20th to make a decision on this SAFE loan matter - wrote Rafał Leśkiewicz on social media.


13:56

Morawiecki to Tusk:

Donald, You Have a Solution on Your Desk That Won't Indebt Poland for Years.

- Donald, you have a solution on your desk that won't indebt Poland for years – SAFE 0%. All it takes is your single decision, finally sovereign from foreign influences - wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media, responding to a post by Donald Tusk.


14:38

Months Pass, and Onet and the Prime Minister's Sources Remain the Same: Szefernaker Mocks and Recalls a "Well-Known Figure"

- They learn nothing from their mistakes. Months pass, and Onet and the Prime Minister's sources remain the same: "A well-known figure, also an actor in such minor roles..." - wrote Paweł Szefernaker on social media.


14:49

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

We Keep Assuming, There's Hope the SAFE Will Be Signed by the President

- We keep assuming, there's hope that SAFE will be signed by the president. SAFE should be signed, it simply should be. Vetoing it would be a very big mistake. The program we've been working on for months, everyone knows this program exists, and suddenly, at the final stretch, at the last moment, the president comes out and says there's some other idea, about which nobody knows what this idea is, where the money would come from, on what basis - stated Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.


15:15

Szefernaker Announces Presidential Bill on Polish Defence Investment Fund Implementing "Polish Safe 0%"

- A meeting has begun between President Karol Nawrocki and Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The presidential bill on the Polish Defence Investment Fund, implementing "Polish Safe 0%", will be sent to the Sejm shortly - wrote Paweł Szefernaker on social media.

At 5:00 PM, details will be presented at a press conference by Zbigniew Bogucki and Leszek Skiba.


16:11

Presidential Bill on the Polish Defense Investment Fund Submitted to the Sejm

The presidential bill on the Polish Defense Investment Fund, implementing "Polish Safe 0%", has just been submitted to the Sejm – this information is confirmed by the President's spokesperson, Rafał Leśkiewicz.


16:40

Bogucki on SAFE 0%:

The Prime Minister Demanded Details, Today He Received Them.

- This meeting just concluded. The President invited government representatives, led by the Prime Minister, to present concrete solutions, both economic, financial, and legislative, concerning what is rightly called the Polish SAFE 0% in the public sphere. The Prime Minister demanded details, and today he received those details, both in their legislative, i.e., legal, dimension and in their economic dimension - stated Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.


16:42

Bogucki on the Presidential Project Regarding SAFE 0%:

There's No More Talk of No Details.

- There's no more talk of there being no details, no law, of not knowing what it's about. In fact, starting tomorrow, tomorrow the Sejm session begins, the Prime Minister, as the head of the majority, the head of the government, can ensure that this act is put on the agenda of the Sejm, and then, in the coming week, there are also Senate deliberations - stated Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.


16:43

Bogucki:

President Has Not Yet Decided on European SAFE

- So, even before the president's decision deadline, as the president has not yet made a decision regarding the European SAFE, this good law [regarding 0% SAFE] could still be processed - stated Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

 


16:47

Bogucki on SAFE 0% Details:

Essentially Cost-Free to Generate This Amount.

- Today, we are able, essentially cost-free – and hence this SAFE 0%, the Polish SAFE 0% – through wise management of the NBP's reserves, without depleting them, to generate an amount of approximately PLN 200 billion in the coming years. This is to redirect it to this fund, the Polish Defence Investment Fund, so that this money goes to the Polish army, but also so that it doesn't go anywhere else - stated Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.
 


16:49

"The Government Isn't Telling You This": Bogucki on the Costs of Servicing the European SAFE

- The costs of servicing this European SAFE are – be aware – 180 billion Polish zlotys, and the government isn't saying this, the government doesn't want to say this. The government is acting as if the story ends today, or next week, or at the very latest by 2027, because I understand this is also meant to be an instrument of government policy - stated Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.


16:51

Glapiński Announces Conference:

It Met with the President's Acceptance.

During the meeting, I emphasized that the NBP is an apolitical institution and does not participate in any political disputes. I presented concrete actions that the NBP can undertake and that are compliant with the law, and I declared full readiness to implement them, which met with the president's acceptance - informed Adam Glapiński.

"Thanks to the NBP's foresightful, prudent, and accurate policy in previous years, it is now possible to implement a project that will provide tens of billions of zlotys annually for several subsequent years to the Polish government for the purpose of financing the rapid construction of a strong Polish army.

This is possible because the NBP has earned and accumulated sufficient funds for this purpose.

Tomorrow, I will present the details to all interested Poles."


17:01

Tusk to Nawrocki Regarding SAFE:

We're Counting on an Immediate Decision.

- I was hoping this meeting would lead to a clear conclusion, a declaration, a decision. In line with what we discussed with the Polish generals, we are counting on a swift, immediate decision concerning the SAFE program, meaning the 180 billion PLN for the Polish defense industry, for Polish defense, for the army. The generals did not hide the fact that it's not just every week that counts, but even every day, every hour matters, because the speed at which we can effectively utilize these funds depends on time, especially when crises and risks are escalating, sometimes hour by hour - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

- Poland absolutely needs fast, substantial funds available to us, so that the Polish army can truly be equipped during these major threats, and they can truly appear at any moment, and nobody has any doubts about that. I say this with such urgency because Poland has invested a lot of effort, and it wasn't an easy task, to convince our partners in Europe that Europe should contribute to defense, especially the eastern border - he continued.


17:04

Tusk on Nawrocki's Words Regarding SAFE:

He Said He Has Plenty of Time, 10 Days, and He's Thinking About It.

- I asked the President directly if he would sign it, because every day, every hour is a shame to waste. The President said he still has plenty of time, 10 days, and that he is thinking about it, that he doesn't like it, and that he has a proposal to listen to Adam Glapiński's suggestions - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.


17:05

Tusk on Glapiński and Nawrocki's Proposal:

In a nutshell, it's SAFE 0 PLN.

- In a nutshell, this proposal is SAFE 0 PLN. Right now, we have no money, we have words. We have a draft bill, and in this bill, there is no money, there is a new body, a council, new bureaucracy, dozens of unnecessary regulations. To my question, if it is indeed true, Mr. Glapiński, that the NBP has a profit, then please transfer this profit as it should be, to the state budget, and we will spend this money for the security of the state - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.


17:09

Tusk on SAFE:

I warned the President, if there is no signature, we will find ways without a law.

- “I warned the President, if this signature is not forthcoming, we will find ways without a law. It’s difficult, if he doesn’t want at least a part of this money to go to the Polish army, but with damage, with losses. I will continue to wait for Mr. Glapiński, because I wanted to show you today what money generated by the NBP looks like. We have not received this information,” stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.


17:09

Tusk after meeting at Nawrocki's:

I am disappointed.

- I won't hide it, I am disappointed, especially after what I heard from our generals. I am even more concerned that we are not finding understanding in the Presidential Palace for the need for quick decisions on this matter. But I haven't lost hope, we had very strong arguments during this meeting and I haven't lost hope that at least some of these arguments will finally reach the other side and that such an evident national interest will prevail over some kind of political game - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.


17:12

Tusk on SAFE:

Someone Got Scared of Poland's Success.

- Frankly, speaking plainly, when we organized this large amount of European money for the Polish defense industry, someone got scared of Poland's success. Or God forbid, my success, and decided to block it and play a little game, pretend for a bit that there's some alternative program - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.


17:16

Tusk:

Of Course the Presidential Bill Won't Be Processed by the Sejm Tomorrow

- No, no, of course no bill will be processed by the Sejm tomorrow. We will analyze it, we will primarily inquire about the money. We are not concerned, and I am addressing all interested parties once again, including the president, we are not concerned about new bills, new regulations, new institutions, program councils, all this bureaucratic burden. We are concerned about real money for the Polish army and the Polish defense industry - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.


17:18

Tusk on Plan B for SAFE:

I don’t rule out that in two days we’ll be ready with the Council of Ministers’ resolution draft.

- Regarding our plan B, I don’t rule out that in two days we’ll be ready with the Council of Ministers’ resolution draft. Of course, I will wait until the very end for the presidential signature, because then it will be easier and faster to spend this money on the Polish defense industry. However, if a veto appears, then on the very same day it appears, we will be able to implement plan B, i.e., through a Council of Ministers’ resolution, with losses for, for example, the Border Guard, and therein lies the problem - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.


17:44

Czarnek in Iława:

Who Cares If Czarnek Has Solar Panels or Not? He Does, Just Like 1.5 Million Other Poles.

- This is a problem for the media. There isn't a phone call I don't receive: Do you have solar panels or not? Where did you get them, how much did you pay? Who cares if Czarnek has solar panels or not? He does, just like 1.5 million other Poles. He has them because he had to do something to secure himself with a state that truly operates the way it operates today. But the fact that we have panels on our roofs doesn't mean we have cheap electricity. Under Tusk's rule, we in Poland have the most expensive electricity in Europe - stated Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.


17:50

Czarnek to Tusk:

Give me petrol for 5.19, you vile liar.

- Tusk said: I know, I was prime minister, it's one decision and petrol will be 5.19. Give it, give it, to the station in Iława, here and now, you vile liar - stated Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.


17:52

Czarnek:

Poland Isn't Where We Turn on the TV and Are Told We're the 20th Largest Economy, Getting Richer

- Poland is not solely in the offices of politicians. Poland is not in the limousines that ferry ministers, the prime minister, and also city mayors to their offices. Poland is not in the colorful televisions, which broadcast pure falsehoods around the clock, on various stations speaking Polish but not thinking in Polish. Poland is not where, when we turn on the TV, they tell us we are the 20th largest economy in the world and that we are getting richer - said Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.

- Does the fact that we are the 20th largest economy in the world mean you can go to the doctor tomorrow, say something hurts, and immediately receive medical care? Does the fact that we are the 20th largest economy in the world mean you can resolve all your problems tomorrow, can you encounter a reaction from the Polish state that immediately addresses your needs and responds to what is happening in the world? - he asked.


17:55

Czarnek Questions Confederation Leaders and Speaks of Peace on the Right:

Do You Really Want to Create a Fourth Way and Govern with Tusk?

- I am speaking to my colleagues from the Confederation. To Sławek Mentzen, to Krzysztof Bosak. I didn't believe it, someone told me once – do you really want to create a fourth way and govern with Tusk next term, to a severe illness? The enemy is not here. We say: peace on the right, let's fight those who are suffocating Poland today - stated Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.


17:59

Czarnek to Czarzasty:

Man, People are Crying and Immediately Want State Reaction.

- This solution [the draft bill on the “fuel shield”] is lying on the Polish kitchen table, right next to gas bills, gigantic electricity bills – and the Polish state of Tusk and Czarzasty tells us: “well, the project is nice, but there’s no need to rush.” Comrade Czarzasty says: “I will refer this project for consultation. Let it be consulted until April 8” - said Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.

- Man, at this Polish kitchen table, people are crying! People are crying and they want an immediate reaction from the state to the poverty that is affecting them, immediately. Not in two or three months, Czarzasty’s consultations will only finish in a month. Here and now, prices at petrol stations are galloping - he continued.


18:02

Czarnek:

"It Can't Be Done" - That's the Name of This State Under Tusk, Czarzasty, and the Rest

- "It can't be done" - that is the name of this state under the rule of Tusk, Czarzasty, and the rest. "It can be done" - because when there were even bigger crises, we immediately acted that way. We immediately lowered the VAT tax, excise duty on fuel. Orlen, which had resources thanks to working for Poland, not for others, Orlen under the leadership of Daniel Obajtek immediately reacted and lowered, kept fuel prices at the lowest level in Europe - said Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.


18:12

Czarnek:

A 'Puppy' Isn't a Child, It's a Dog, for Heaven's Sake!

- There are no miracles. And now, a little, I’ve stopped being afraid, as I’ve already said, because I’ve explained to myself that there’s no point in backing down, even though all those leftist stations will be howling from the morning, TVN24 will still be seething in „Szkło kontaktowe,” right? That Czarnek says a ‘puppy’ isn’t a child. Well, it’s not a child, it’s a dog, for heaven’s sake - stated Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.


18:21

Czarnek on criticism from right-wing circles:

Perhaps you’ve struck a deal with those from Civic Platform and have just revealed yourselves?

- I know these people who talk so much about patriotism, so much about sovereignty, so much about independence, about Polishness. I come out, I say the same thing I've always said, and instead of attacking those who attack Polishness, destroy independence, destroy sovereignty, want to force us into the Eurozone, abolish the Polish złoty, indebt us to gigantic, not yet known to us, means, they say: „Czarnek is the bad one, not them” - said Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.

- If you diagnose it this way, then diagnose it. I just want to ask you – who are you? Or perhaps still Giertych's people from many years ago? Or perhaps you've struck a deal with those from Civic Platform and have just revealed yourselves since Saturday? And there will be no right-wing, only the fourth path, in which you want to participate and rule with Tusk, to continue suffocating Poland? - he asked.

- I trust not. And once again [...] I say: unity, forward, to victory. The enemy is where Poland is being suffocated, not here - he indicated.


18:25

Czarnek on Other Right-Wing Circles:

No Point in Taking Risks. Only PiS Guarantees No Tusk Government.

- But after what we're seeing, and not just since Saturday, because I've seen and spoken with another Confederation [faction], not Braun, but with people who are in the Sejm, I told them directly: how can you, seeing the state collapsing, which you yourselves say in the media, seeing people who want to completely destroy independence, go to the Sejm rostrum and only say 'PiS, to PiS, pisior, PiS, to PiS, pisior'? How does that even cross your minds? - said Przemysław Czarnek in Iława.

- I will tell you here in Iława and throughout Poland, and also beyond its borders to all Poles – if you see this, and you do see it […], then there is only one answer. There is no point in taking risks. Only Law and Justice guarantees you 100% that there will be no Tusk government – he emphasized.

- Do you want to take risks, seeing what these supposedly our friends are doing to us? Then keep scheming. But we are putting solutions on the Polish table here. I haven't seen anything from them yet. Maybe they will wake up. God grant it – he added.

Sikorski on Nawrocki:

He Faces Blackmail from Nowogrodzka and Must Make a Choice.

- It seems to me that he [Karol Nawrocki] feels the gravity of the moment, because he knows that the army, police, Border Guard, and the Government Protection Bureau want this program. He knows that many towns await him, where industry will be recreated and reborn. And he knows that it is simply good for Poland's security, and at the same time, he faces blackmail from Nowogrodzka and must make a choice: whether to do something that aligns with his mission as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, or to obey Kaczyński. It should be an easy choice, but apparently, it is not - stated Radosław Sikorski on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts after Facts).

Sikorski:

The President has a chance to show he is independent of Kaczyński's bad decision to fight SAFE

- As a politician, I am frankly surprised by another politician. Because in our conversations, the President said more than once that I would be surprised, because he would show that he is a president for the citizens. Well, here he has a chance to show that he is independent of Kaczyński's bad decision to fight SAFE. And that decision would be popular, because uniformed services, Poles want loans on SAFE - said Radosław Sikorski in "Fakty po Faktach" on TVN24.

Sikorski:

It's Quackery - A World Where Money Can Be Generated at No Cost, Without Risk, Doesn't Exist

- You of course know that the idea of generating virtual money on gold reserves, Andrzej Lepper probably still has the copyright for that, right? It's quackery, meaning a world where money can be generated at no cost, without risk, simply doesn't exist - stated Radosław Sikorski on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).


19:40

Sikorski:

If the President Chooses Disgrace, We Will Implement SAFE Anyway, as We Have a Plan B

"President Nawrocki has a choice between SAFE for the military and defense, or disgrace. If he chooses disgrace, we will implement SAFE anyway, as we have a plan B," said Radosław Sikorski on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).

Sikorski:

High-ranking US Embassy Official Visited Several Ministries to State Specifically: The US is Not Against SAFE

- It is exactly the opposite – and this is not my opinion, but my knowledge. A high-ranking representative of the United States Embassy visited several ministries to state specifically: The United States is not against SAFE - said Radosław Sikorski in TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- And they couldn't even be against SAFE, because it would be illogical. It is the United States that is urging us to strengthen European defense, and there is no strengthening of European defense without the defense industry - he continued.

Morawiecki on Nawrocki and Glapiński’s Proposal:

The Prime Minister was strongly surprised by this.

- Here is a new proposal that was put on the table by the President, and the Prime Minister was very strongly surprised by it, because he already had a certain political plan surrounding this SAFE 2% or 3%, and in reality, perhaps even more in the future, a SAFE that, over its lifespan, let's call it the financial product's life, would cost about PLN 180 billion - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.


20:25

Morawiecki on Czarnek:

The Task is Clearly Defined Here.

- It is indeed a fact that a part of our electorate, confused, has moved elsewhere, let's put it that way, and Przemysław Czarnek has the task of winning back this electorate. After all, Konfederacja had 7.8% in 2023, now one Konfederacja has 12-13%, Braun, Korona, have 8-9%, it's unknown, but a total of 20, and the task is clearly defined here - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.


20:27

Morawiecki:

If We Aspire to Truly High Levels of Support, This Electorate Exists in Both Places

- Is this an electorate that left because we were not radical enough? Well, no, this is an electorate that left us because these 8-10% are also a moderate electorate, so if we aspire to these truly high levels of support, this electorate exists in both places, and I am fighting for the young generation, for the elderly, for entrepreneurs, for local government officials, and everyone here will certainly have a role to play - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.


20:30

Morawiecki on Cooperation with Czarnek:

I See a Role for Myself.

"I also very clearly see a role for myself here. We will work hand in hand [with Przemysław Czarnek] to remove this government from power, and I don't see any inconsistency or incompatibility here," stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.

Responding to a question about being a Deputy Prime Minister in Czarnek's government, Morawiecki replied: "I will decide who I will be in the future. Everything depends on the election results and on that, let's start."


20:36

Senate Pact Under Nawrocki's Auspices? Morawiecki's Suggestion

- The President, if the Senate only allows it, after 2027, if there is a Senate pact under the President's auspices, then the Senate can be, so to speak, friendly towards the President, it can announce a referendum and by announcing a referendum with the consent of the Senate, with a powerful social mandate, yes, I believe that in 2028 or 2029 such a [Constitutional] change is possible - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on Kanał Zero.

"I Don't Feel the Need to Talk to Kaczyński's Spokesperson." Mentzen Responds to Czarnkow and Proposes a "Spokespersons' Debate"

- You're telling journalists now that you would gladly participate in a debate with me, so we could clear some things up, so we could talk about them. Except, you know, Przemek, the problem is that I invited you for such a conversation last year, and at first, you were actually happy about it, […] after which the leader forbade you, and you started addressing me formally as "pan" and saying you wouldn't talk to me until I apologized to Kaczyński - says Sławomir Mentzen in a recording published on YouTube.

"I Don't See Much Reason to Engage in Any Debates with You"

- Later, you also said very unpleasant things about me in several interviews, implying I accused Kaczyński of contributing to Lepper's death, which I never said – but that's on your conscience. However, I invited you, you agreed, and then you very rudely refused me online, so I don't see much reason to engage in any debates with you now - he stated.

- With Kaczyński, well, yes, because he is indeed the decision-maker in your party, he's the one who thinks, he dictates how things should be. Whereas you, actually, now that I think about it, you are somewhat of a spokesperson for Jarosław Kaczyński. In the sense that you are supposed to say what he thinks. You've been given a task that you will say these and those things, because Kaczyński has given you permission to say them - he continued.

"I Don't Feel the Need to Talk to Jarosław Kaczyński's Spokesperson"

- I already know what you're going to say. You're going to say that we should fight Tusk, that the number one goal is to remove Tusk, that you'll do everything right now, that it's not true that you did everything wrong before. I know all of this, in the sense that I have access to your propaganda. I know what you say. In the sense that I don't feel the need to talk to Jarosław Kaczyński's spokesperson - indicated the Konfederacja leader.

"You Would Talk Like a Spokesperson to a Spokesperson"

- However, I have a different idea. Listen, Przemek, in my party, there's a fantastic person, Wojciech Machulski. He's my press spokesperson. […] I think you would get along very well. He has only one flaw – he's a complete abstainer, he doesn't drink anything. But other than that, Wojtek Machulski is truly fantastic. If we were to have such a debate between our spokespersons, in the sense of my spokesperson and Kaczyński's spokesperson, if you and Wojtek Machulski talked like a spokesperson to a spokesperson - he suggested.

"Your Influence on Your Parties is Similar – Although I Think Wojtek Has a Little More"

- You're equally articulate, I think, you argue very well. I think this debate would be really good to watch. Your influence on your parties is similar, although I think Wojtek even has a bit more influence on his party than you have on yours. So, I think a debate at the spokespersons' level would make much more sense than a conversation between us at this moment - Mentzen assessed.
