Sawicki:

Bogucki and Przydacz decided to change the system to presidential

- From the very beginning of this presidency, we have had a situation with a constant attempt to expand the constitutional powers of the President. And it's not the President himself, it's Messrs. Bogucki and Przydacz, who after losing the parliamentary elections, and winning the presidential elections, decided to change the system from a cabinet-parliamentary one to a presidential system - Marek Sawicki said in Super Express's "Morning Ring", when asked about the presidential proposal regarding "SAFE 0%" and the attempt to gain influence over how these funds will be spent.

- Then let them have the courage, let them propose a constitutional amendment, and perhaps, I am not insisting that we have an ideal system, it is worth discussing, but it is worth discussing with all political circles, not resorting to 'falandization' and pushing forward on the basis of 'we will seize a little more, we will seize a little more, move over' - he continued.

- Indeed, in our system [...] the President's powers are disproportionate to the method of electing the head of state, but that's how it is. If we amend the Constitution, then perhaps we will move to a presidential system, similar to the French one, similar to the American one. It is not an impossible thing, but it needs to be discussed, not done on the basis of accomplished facts - he went on to say.

Sawicki on Parliamentary Elections:

We Will Run Independently.

- We will not be Donald Tusk's dessert, and what's more, I can tell you that we will run successfully in the upcoming parliamentary elections independently - said Marek Sawicki in Super Express's "Morning Ring.".

Sawicki:

It's Not Czarnek, But Przydacz and Bogucki Who Are PiS's Main Prime Ministerial Candidates

- I believe that it is not Professor Czarnek who is the main favorite and potential candidate for the Prime Minister's office, should PiS come to power, but rather Mr. Przydacz and Mr. Bogucki - Marek Sawicki stated on the "Morning Ring" of Super Express.

- These are the primary candidates, indeed from the President's inner circle. If they prove to Jarosław Kaczyński that they have shaped the Chancellery of the President in such a way that it is solely the chancellery of Law and Justice [...] then they have a chance for a significant reward from Jarosław Kaczyński - he continued.

Sawicki:

Tusk Could Even Soften His Tone on the SAFE Issue and Await the President's Decision

"I believe there's no principle behind the conflict between the president and the prime minister. It's a simple interpretation: the sharper, the more fire, the better. And I think Donald Tusk, even on this SAFE issue, could slightly soften his argumentation, his tone, and wait for the president's decision," said Marek Sawicki in the "Morning Ring" of Super Express.

Sawicki on Czarnek:

From the Professor's Bench to the Beer Stall

- I'm more wondering if it isn't a satanic professor from the Catholic University of Lublin, who has de facto moved from the professor's bench to the beer stall and to the Central Cooperative Union (SKR) of the PRL era, using the language of that time, that method of argumentation. This astonishes me - said Marek Sawicki in Super Express's "Morning Ring," when asked by the host about the "satanic trinity" he believes Tusk, Czarzasty, and Kosiniak-Kamysz form, as presented in a film featuring Przemysław Czarnek's statement regarding SAFE.

- Suddenly, hearing such formulations from a professor, it simply astounds me. I don't recognize Mr. Przemysław Czarnek, because the argumentation he used [regarding SAFE] looks similar to his investments in renewable energy sources - he continued.

Sawicki:

Ideologically, PiS is closer to me than the left, but the level of hypocrisy of these politicians is terrifying

- If we are looking for reason, then we really need to call on our PiS colleagues, because I don't hide it, ideologically, so to speak, this environment is closer to me than the left-wing environment. But on the other hand, the level of hypocrisy that emanates from these politicians is simply terrifying - said Marek Sawicki in the "Morning Ring" of Super Express.

- How can it be that in November last year, the former Minister of National Defence urged Kosiniak-Kamysz: "Make projects, hurry up the army, because you won't use these SAFE funds, and they are needed by Poland, they are needed by the Polish defence industry." President Karol Nawrocki also welcomed the same thing with satisfaction at the beginning - he continued.

- And then suddenly Jarosław Kaczyński switches the lever and it suddenly turns out that the SAFE program is a German idea and will be spent on purchasing armaments from German factories, which are completely unready for production - he went on to say.

Will the President Sign the SAFE Act? Sawicki: I Have Mixed Feelings

- It seems to me that the SAFE matter is not a closed issue, that by the 20th [of March] the President will certainly be thinking about it. I have various, mixed feelings; one day it seems to me the President is closer to signing it, another day, further from signing this act - said Marek Sawicki in the "Morning Ring" of Super Express.

- The President knows one thing: regardless of whether he signs it or not, the EU loan will be implemented anyway. And he is the president for the next 4.5 years, so he will participate in all of this - he continued.

"I Am Astonished Tusk Didn't Undertake This." Sawicki: We Should Begin Revising the Constitution

"I encourage us to seriously sit down. I said at the beginning of this term, I am astonished that neither Donald Tusk nor my political circle took this seriously. We should have established a constitutional commission at the beginning of this term, which would consist not only of parliamentary representatives [...] but also of organized, extra-parliamentary circles, and we should begin revising the Constitution, which [...] today truly no longer fits contemporary requirements and needs," Marek Sawicki said on Super Express's "Morning Ring.".

Sawicki:

If Europe Has Finally Created a Joint Armament Financing Project, We Must Take Advantage of It

- The armament needs, the economic needs related to armaments are enormous. These are needs in the order of 600 billion zlotys. So, if after half a year of the presidency, followed by a year of further negotiations, Europe has finally created, under pressure from the United States as well, this joint project for financing the construction of armaments, European armaments to European standards, then we must take advantage of it - said Marek Sawicki in an interview with Jan Wróbel on Super Express's "Morning Ring".

- However, if there are free funds in the National Bank of Poland, then nothing stands in the way of converting them into profits, in accordance with the current law, and these profits, in accordance with the Constitution and the Act on the National Bank of Poland, should go to the state budget - he continued.

Siemoniak Asked About External Influence on SAFE:

It's Not Happening, Because That's Not How the World Works.

- I don't have such information [whether someone from the outside influences whether we will take money from SAFE or not]. Of course, there can be debate and various assessments, but I believe it simply stems from the top politicians of PiS, who are unable to admit that this is something good and believe that everything the government does should be blown up. There is no [external influence], because that's not how the world works, certainly not for special services to be operating in matters of this kind - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVP Info.


07:53

Siemoniak on Glapiński's Conference:

He Squirmed Like a Loach, He Didn't Explain It.

- I listened, I read, and I saw how President Glapiński squirmed like a loach because he didn't explain it. The truth is, there are no free lunches, there's no free money, that someone will just shift it from one column to another, there's no money from that. And either he wants to sell gold and use that money, some part of the gold, which has appreciated, and everything else that they will reclassify, reassign, etc., there's no free money - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVP Info.


07:50

Siemoniak:

PiS Politicians Didn't Mind Buying on Credit in Korea or the US with Higher Interest Rates than SAFE

- Somehow, PiS politicians didn't mind buying on credit in Korea or the US with higher interest rates than SAFE. So, this argumentation is very hypocritical and untrue - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVP Info.


07:48

Siemoniak on the Veto of SAFE:

Still Hope the President Won't Do It.

- For them [uniformed services], plan B, meaning another solution, should the president veto this, the hope that he won't do it, really limits it solely to the Armed Forces. Thus, the stakes here for the police and other services of the Ministry of Interior and Administration are very high. Meanwhile, of course, the special services are very interested in SAFE, in the sense that the entire security sector becomes stronger - stated Tomasz Siemoniak on TVP Info.
