Mentzen Responds to Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:
Idiotism or Ill Will.
"This is what my financial disclosure looks like. From the very beginning, I have voluntarily disclosed the assets of my family foundation. Calling me a sly fox in this context is either idiocy or ill will. Typical of PL2050." - wrote Sławomir Mentzen on X.
Tak wygląda moje oświadczenie majątkowe. Od samego początku dobrowolnie ujawniam majątek mojej fundacji rodzinnej.

Szłapka:
It's Hard to Talk About Improving the Presidential Draft, Because It's Unsuitable for Proceeding
- Regarding the presidential draft bill [on the so-called SAFE 0%], there's probably little to improve because it's about nothing. It simply doesn't guarantee any funds. There's a lot of bureaucracy, and if profits were to appear at the NBP, there are very precise regulations for that in the 1999 act – stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.
- The project, as I understand it, that Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz spoke about, is a parliamentary draft, not a government one. I haven't seen it yet; I think individual parliamentary clubs will analyze it and then make decisions. However, in this case, it's hard to talk about improving the presidential draft because it's simply unsuitable for proceeding – he continued.
14:22
Szłapka questioned about the CJEU ruling:
The Ministry of Justice is preparing an appropriate statement.
- I know that the Ministry of Justice is preparing an appropriate statement on this matter [regarding the CJEU ruling on judges]. So it is still too early for me to provide any information on this issue. Certainly, the Ministry of Justice will speak on this matter without undue delay - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.
14:15
- I would like - because I have direct authorization from the Prime Minister for this - to very sincerely apologize for misleading public opinion regarding the maternity ward in Lesko. Indeed, this maternity ward is not functioning, and there was never any intention from our side, the government's or the NFZ's, to close it. The district self-government's application, which appeared three times, and the final decisions of the council also led to this maternity ward not functioning. Nevertheless, I also apologize very much for the fact that public opinion was misled. There were no such intentions - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.

Czarnek to Borowski:
We are with you and will not abandon you.
- Adam, we are with you and will not abandon you! Regardless of your views - this is a matter that should concern anyone who believes in freedom of speech. Because if one can go to prison today for words, then tomorrow it could concern any of us.
"We stand where we stood then. They stand where ZOMO stood." - wrote Przemysław Czarnek on social media.
Adam jesteśmy z Tobą i nie zostawimy Cię! Niezależnie od poglądów - to sprawa, która powinna niepokoić każdego, kto wierzy w wolność słowa. Bo jeśli za słowa można dziś iść do więzienia, to jutro może to dotyczyć każdego z nas.

12:35
Tusk to Nawrocki:
You are the President of Poland, you have Polish duties, not Russian ones.
- Not only President Nawrocki likes to quote Roman Dmowski, so I want to paraphrase these words and say very clearly - you are the President of Poland, you have Polish duties, not Russian ones, and therefore we would expect that in matters of international policy, especially in sensitive situations like Russian, Ukrainian, or European issues, the President would support the international policy created by the government, not act against Polish interests. These are strong words, but I know what I'm talking about - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government session.
12:33
Tusk:
Supporting Orban's Pro-Russian and Anti-European Actions is Not in Poland's Interest
- I am listing only a few reasons why we are so strongly demanding that all Polish politicians do not participate in promoting these types of actions. Supporting Prime Minister Orban in his pro-Russian and anti-European activities is not in Poland's interest - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government meeting.
12:32
Tusk:
Orbán Built a Model of a Corrupt State
- It is also not insignificant that Prime Minister Orbán has built a model which, theoretically, should provoke outrage from President Nawrocki and his political base, at least theoretically, a model of a corrupt state. The Hungarian government, in this regard, is acting against the interests of Hungary and the EU. It serves as a very negative example of breaking various legal and anti-corruption standards. No one doubts that the Orbán government's departure from European standards began primarily precisely with these matters - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government meeting.
12:29
Tusk:
Orban's Energy Cooperation with Moscow is Consistent and Multifaceted
- Prime Minister Orban is doing everything to make this dependence our daily reality again. Prime Minister Orban's energy cooperation with Moscow is consistent and on many levels. It's not just oil, it's also nuclear energy, but what is most striking right now are Prime Minister Orban's attempts to restore normal business with Russia when it comes to energy - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government session.
12:15
Tusk Comments on Nawrocki's Visit and Attacks Orban:
Against the Government's Recommendation and Poland's Obvious Interests
- [President Nawrocki's visit to Hungary] is against the recommendations and opinions of the Polish government and against Poland's obvious interests. I would like to remind you of just a few basic facts that explain why the Hungarian Prime Minister is currently assessed not only by the Polish government but, above all, by the Polish government as a politician who systematically acts against Polish and European interests, as well as specifically Polish interests, and why supporting Prime Minister Orban, especially on the eve of the Hungarian elections, is an action against Poland's interests - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government meeting.
- We are still waiting for PLN 2 billion which should arrive from European funds for the equipment that Poland sent to Ukraine in the first months of the war. Poland decided, and it was the previous government that made this decision, to react immediately and send equipment. This swift action, without unnecessary delay, enabled Ukraine to survive the toughest weeks of the Russian invasion. It may have also been crucial for Poland's independence - he continued.
- It is Prime Minister Orban personally who is blocking these funds for Poland. Recently, Prime Minister Orban decided to block a much larger sum, aid for Ukraine. He blocked 90 billion euros for aid to Ukraine, even though these funds will likely decide the fate of the entire war. There is no exaggeration in this statement - added the head of government.
11:50
- The complaint has been filed, unfortunately, it has not blocked it. In my opinion, the Commission is making a mistake; it should take into account the will of Europeans [...] and not downplay it - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference, when asked about the provisional application of the Mercosur agreement.
- Poland [...] will approach the quality control of products, especially agri-food products, very strictly. Nothing will slip through the Polish border, please be assured, we have very high quality standards, they will not be disturbed in any way; on the contrary, these regulations will be very strictly [...] enforced - he continued.
11:44
Kosiniak-Kamysz on the European Fund Blocked by Hungary:
I Count on the President Returning with the News That These Funds Have Been Unblocked.
- I understand meetings with the President of Hungary, I understand the days of Polish-Hungarian friendship [...] but what he is doing, this agenda he is pursuing regarding the security of the Polish state, by blocking the European Peace Facility, from which the Polish army could draw approximately 400 million euros right now [...] if it weren't for Hungary's blockade, so if there's anything to talk about with Prime Minister Orbán, it's about unblocking the European Peace Facility - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.
- I count on the President returning to Warsaw with such information [...] and being able to announce that these funds have been unblocked and that Hungary supports the building of European security - he continued.

Kosiniak-Kamysz on Nawrocki's visit to Orbán:
It is no honor to meet with the biggest supporter of Putin in the EU.
- It is no honor today to meet with the biggest supporter of Putin in the European Union. This is no longer just an incidental choice, it is a strategic, and even geostrategic choice for Prime Minister Orbán, and such evident support for him in the election campaign, because it is directly linked to the election campaign, does not serve the interests of the Polish state - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.
11:32
Kosiniak-Kamysz on the So-Called SAFE 0%:
If That Money Isn't There, It Will Be Exposed and a Humiliation for the NBP Governor and the Presidential Palace,
- This is the responsibility of the Governor of the National Bank of Poland. I believe that if he made such a proposal, then with this law, we are saying 'checkmate' to him. If that money isn't there, it will be exposed, and it will be a humiliation for the Governor of the National Bank of Poland, and also for the Presidential Palace, because in some way, it confirmed its credibility - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.
11:19
"We have just submitted to the Marshal of the Sejm a bill on the Polish Defense Investment Fund, authored by the Polish People's Party parliamentary club, which corrects the errors in the presidential project," Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced at a press conference.
"We have modified several areas in this submission and are presenting it as a parliamentary initiative [...]. We have broadened the scope of entities covered by the fund's activities, paying significant attention to services such as the Police and the Border Guard," he continued.
"The composition of the steering committee and the council that approves the program has also changed. Naturally, there is a representative of the President, but there is also a representative of the Prime Minister, which was not the case before. The government holds authority in this area within this fund, and this is constitutionally compliant [...]. The government makes decisions on where these funds will be allocated, and this is precisely guaranteed in this bill," he elaborated.
"I have spoken with Marshal Czarzasty. Of course, he will subject the project to his analysis, but I thank the Marshal for his goodwill and openness. I would like this project to be processed as quickly as possible in the committees and on the plenary floor," he added.
09:45
"Tax cuts for the state are unbecoming of anyone, and especially unbecoming of parliamentarians and ministers. That is why we are starting work on a Poland 2050 law that will force cunning parliamentarians and ministers to disclose wealth hidden in family foundations. Their assets will be added to their annual mandatory asset declaration." - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz wrote on X.
"The scale of the pathology was revealed in yesterday's report by TVN24's "Czarno na białym" (Black on White), for which I am grateful. It's shocking how politicians who argue daily can cooperate, above political divisions, to utilize the tax haven they created for themselves." - she continued in her post.
"And we will begin collecting signatures for the draft law from well-known cunning individuals using foundations: MPs Mentzen and Wipler. At the New Opening Congress, we announced a distinct policy. Now, we are getting to work." - she emphasized.
Cięcie państwa na podatkach nie przystoi nikomu, a parlamentarzystom i ministrom nie przystoi szczególnie. Dlatego ruszamy z pracami nad ustawą @PL_2050, która zmusi parlamentarzystów i ministrów-cwaniaków do ujawnienia majątków ukrywanego w fundacjach rodzinnych. Stan posiadania…

Siwiec on the Peasants' Proposal Regarding SAFE 0%:
The PSL is doing a very good thing. There's just one small problem.
- The PSL is doing a very good thing, because [...] knowing the common sense of Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, the common sense of this party [...] they say: since we have received something from which money can come, more money can come, and it is unconstitutional, meaning this SAFE zero, which was proposed by the genius Glapiński with President Nawrocki, and it's good for nothing because it's unconstitutional [...] let's extract what is unconstitutional [...] and say "I'm checking, where is that money" - said Marek Siwiec in Trójka, when asked about the PSL's proposal regarding SAFE 0%.
- There is only one small problem. [...] This money the bank is talking about, this SAFE zero, is truly zero - he continued.
09:20
Siwiec Skeptical About Attempt to Hinder Polexit by Requiring a Referendum:
This is not the moment...
- I know a good old rule [...] never call a referendum unless you know the outcome 100%. [...] I understand the Prime Minister. This is not the moment to question something that is an obvious certainty for the vast majority of Poles all the time - said Marek Siwiec on Radio Three, when asked about the Poland 2050 project aiming to make Polexit more difficult (requiring a referendum) and about Prime Minister Tusk not being in favour of such projects, as it opens up a discussion about Polexit.
- A referendum is very rarely about the question itself. A referendum is most often about the government. Whether I like them, it doesn't matter who is in power, such are referendums; when I'm angry with someone, there are always more angry people than satisfied ones, I think, so I go and say "no" just in case, because I'm protesting - he continued.
- Let's respect the status quo and enjoy this status quo - he added.
09:09
Horała:
Soon these two gentlemen will file a lawsuit with the CJEU, claiming discrimination because they are a recognized marriage in Poland but cannot adopt children
- Soon these or other two gentlemen will file a lawsuit with the Court of Justice of the European Union, claiming that since they are a fully recognized marriage in Poland, they are discriminated against because they cannot, for example, adopt children, while other marriages in Poland can - said Marcin Horała in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.
09:07
Siwiec on Choosing Judges for the Constitutional Tribunal:
PiS Has Fallen Into Its Own Trap.
"The problem is that PiS has fallen into its own trap. It was they who invented this whole philosophy of 'we catch everything and grab it.' If there are currently 9 incumbent PiS judges in the Constitutional Tribunal, and the coalition wants to add 6 to create some kind of balance that didn't exist, then the anger is 'wait, wait, how can they choose their own'" – said Marek Siwiec in Trójka.
09:04
- The NSA ruling [concerning the transcription of foreign marriage certificates for same-sex couples] shows that without a change in the law in Poland and without a decision by Polish society and the Polish Sejm, a factual change is occurring in Poland - said Marcin Horała in the RMF FM 'Morning Interview'.
- I am asking, if I were to go to Saudi Arabia with three women - although God forbid I have any such intention - enter into marriage with all three of them, and then return to Poland, would I be prosecuted for bigamy, or would it be recognized as marriage with three women? - he stated.
- You know very well - you'll probably mention the goat next - [...] that polygamy does not exist in the European Union. It's not a problem, it's a fabricated problem. The question is about how to treat marriages concluded in European Union countries by Polish citizens. And there is a decision on this matter. A decision that… - replied Tomasz Terlikowski.
- Incorrect - assessed the PiS MP.
- I don't know if it's incorrect or not. I want to say that it doesn't regulate anything. Because for something to be regulated, an entire set of laws needs to be changed, if only to be able to fit these theses into certain categories - the journalist continued.
- But precisely with the NSA ruling, two men who entered into marriage outside of Poland are to be treated as a married couple in Poland as well, with all the resulting consequences. Of course, this creates a certain legal chaos, because the question arises […], whether they will have joint property and so on - stated Horała.
09:02
Siwiec on Newly Elected Constitutional Tribunal Judges:
They Are Already Judges, The Only Question Is in What Capacity They Will Take the Oath.
- Drawing on what wise people say, I can only state this: they are already judges. They are judges, whereas the president is not the person who makes the choice, but rather, one could say, witnesses the taking of the oath. Therefore, the only question is in what capacity these chosen, these 6 distinguished lawyers, will take the oath - Marek Siwiec said on Trójka.
08:57
- These are four pages of a letter that I sent to Mr. Zbigniew Bogucki, in response to his first question. I familiarized myself yesterday with his second question, which was also formulated to the Marshal, and it is, in reality, a conversation about the same thing - Marek Siwiec said in Trójka, when asked about Zbigniew Bogucki's demands for further explanations regarding the newly elected Constitutional Tribunal judges.
- In the first letter, which concerned three substantive doubts formulated, Minister Bogucki received three substantive, very in-depth, legal answers - he continued.
- The truth is that what the Chancellery of the President is doing right now is playing for time - he went on to say.
08:49
Horała:
It Wasn't Orbán Who Built Nord Stream with Putin
- It's not that if Viktor Orbán says, for example, that in his opinion there is no rule of law in Poland, we won't get any funds. But the European Commission will. It wasn't Viktor Orbán who built Nord Stream together with Putin, and so on, and so on - said Marcin Horała in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.
08:46
Horała:
European Authorities Have a Strong Temptation to Make a Deal with Russia at Poland's Expense
- What poses a greater threat to us: Russia's policy and Orbán's support, or the centralizing policy of the European Union? Which is the greater existential threat? - asked Tomasz Terlikowski in the 'Morning Interview' on RMF FM.
- Both are threats. Of course, the greater immediate threat is Russian aggression, should it occur, but in the longer term, the centralizing policy of the European Union is also a threat - replied Marcin Horała.
- Besides, at the end of the day - and this has been played out a few times already - there is a strong temptation on the part of European authorities to make a deal with Russia at the expense of Poland, and we have already seen this. For now, it's not possible, it's not appropriate, but in 5 years it might be appropriate again - the PiS MP continued.
08:45
Siwiec on Criticism of Nawrocki for Meeting with Orbán:
I Might Take Half a Step Back, We Don't Know What Was Said There.
- I don't rule that out, because one of the President's advisors said, and rightly so, that it's necessary to talk. I am also a great supporter of talking, even with people we disagree with; that's where conversation, persuasion, and achieving one's goals make the most sense – Marek Siwiec said on Trójka, when asked about the theory that President Nawrocki went to convince Orbán to agree to unblock aid for Ukraine.
- I also don't rule out that the visible anger yesterday [...] of the President was related to the fact that he is being portrayed in this narrative solely as a supporter of Orbán. We don't know what he said there, the communiqués are very restrained, so I might take a half step back, because we don't know what was said there, but President Nawrocki certainly said loudly that Putin is a criminal – he continued.
- Perhaps fighting with his own convictions, he had to go, he had to shake hands, he had to have a photo taken, in order to say in Washington: hey, I am a loyal participant in this great operation that you are assembling here in Europe, you Americans, and this operation is called breaking up the European Union, and that's what worries me the most, not that he went – he went on to say.
08:39
"Perhaps a good reception in the United States, where he is going now, soon for the CPAC session, a very important gathering indeed. I see no other reason for him to go to Orbán, and if he went, then clearly he had to," said Marek Siwiec in an interview with Renata Grochal on "Bez uników" (No Evasion) on Trójka, when asked what President Karol Nawrocki gained from visiting Viktor Orbán in Budapest.
08:38
Horała:
Orbán Shares Similar Views with Poland on Many Issues, Including Those in Poland's Interest
- In many matters, Viktor Orbán shares similar views with Poland, views that are in Poland's interest. For example, primarily the opposition to centralizing tendencies within the European Union, and the fact that EU bodies are violating European treaties and unlawfully interfering in the internal affairs of member states - said Marcin Horała in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM.
08:34
Horała:
We Disagree with Orbán's Policy on Russia and Ukraine. This Doesn't Change the Fact That We Align on Many Other Issues
- We have no problem with it – unlike our political adversaries – saying that even if we are close to someone on certain matters, the aspect of Hungarian policy, Viktor Orbán's policy in this area, relations with Russia, relations with Ukraine – we simply and decisively disagree with it. One could even say: we condemn it – said Marcin Horała in an interview with Tomasz Terlikowski on RMF FM.
- This does not change the fact that in many other areas we are aligned, and not only politically for us, but I also believe that Poland is aligned here – he emphasized.
07:42
Cienkowska on Nawrocki:
I Don't Understand How the President Could Behave Like That.
- I was absolutely shocked. I don't understand how the President could behave like that [regarding the TVN24 journalist]. I don't understand his support for Orbán in Hungary. I don't understand why he supports one of the heads of state that is openly pro-Russian. I don't understand why he supports him in the campaign, I don't understand this policy - stated Marta Cienkowska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
07:39
Cienkowska:
Thanks to the Third Way, We Don't Have a Third Term for PiS Now. That's a Fact
- I am simply disappointed, perhaps, with what happened [the split]. Because if they chose their own path, I understand that. Everyone has the right to do so, but I won't hide that some of us built the Poland 2050 association with these people, because we forget that we haven't really been a political party for a long time - stated Marta Cienkowska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- We were a social, civic movement that entered politics to change Poland, and we succeeded in that effectively. Thanks to Poland 2050, thanks to the Third Way, we actually don't have a third term for PiS now, and that's the truth, that's a fact - she continued.
07:36
Cienkowska:
I Was Never in Politics for a Seat
- I was never in politics for a seat. Only to do a good job at the ministry. I have been working in this sector for over a dozen years and I know exactly what needed to be done, and I took on this mission solely because I know what to do and what changes are needed - stated Marta Cienkowska in the "Piasecki Interview" on TVN24.
07:32
Cienkowska:
I Regularly Speak with the Prime Minister. If He Had Any Reservations About My Work, He Would Tell Me
- I speak with the Prime Minister very regularly. I think if he had any reservations about my work, he would tell me about them. Yes, [the reports] reached me, but the Prime Minister himself has already denied them - stated Marta Cienkowska in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
07:00
At 10:00 AM, President Karol Nawrocki will participate in a ceremony at the Chapel of Remembrance in Toruń to unveil further names on the Memorial Tablets dedicated to Poles murdered while saving Jews during the German occupation.
At 12:00 PM, a session of the Council of Ministers will commence. The agenda includes, among other items, a draft amendment to certain laws concerning the regulation of public order service aviation, and a draft amendment to the Public Finance Law.
Ministers will also address a draft amendment to the law on the preparation and implementation of investments in nuclear energy facilities and accompanying investments.
At 5:00 PM, a meeting will be held in Staszów with Przemysław Czarnek, Vice-President of PiS and candidate for Prime Minister.
