Bogucki on the President's Clash with a TVN24 Journalist:
Healthy, Rational, Wise Conduct Was a Response to an Attempt at Brazen Manipulation.
- This was very healthy, rational, wise conduct by the President towards one of the journalists, a journalist from your station, I believe your name is Półchłopek, it was a response to an attempt at manipulation, brazen manipulation - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- That is, we have a top-level conference of heads of state, representatives of the highest Polish and Hungarian authorities, questions are asked, the President explains very clearly and lucidly. There are statements, these questions have been asked many times, and the President clearly states his position towards Russia, meaning that Putin is a criminal, that Russia attacked Ukraine - he continued.
07:46
Bogucki on a TVN24 Reporter:
He Behaves Not Like a Half-Journalist, But a Quarter-Journalist.
- I thought you wouldn't delve into this. We are dealing with the behavior of a gentleman who behaves not like a half-journalist, but like a quarter-journalist. I have the right to describe it as such, I am referring to his behavior, not to the person - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in TVN24's 'Rozmowa Piaseckiego' (Piasecki's Conversation).
07:47
- Karol Nawrocki, as the President of the IPN, is the most anti-Russian representative of the state in Poland and in Europe. He says this, he is prosecuted by the Russian Federation. This is precisely why he went to Hungary, to, for example, convince Hungary not to use Russian gas or hydrocarbons - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in “Rozmowa Piaseckiego” on TVN24.
07:57
Bogucki on the Gas Hub and Nawrocki's Visit to Hungary:
A Deliberate Strategy.
- It is in Poland's interest, Europe's interest, our security, the security of our borders and alliances, that Victor Orban does not engage in purchasing gas or oil from Russia. The President discussed this topic, clearly outlining the possibilities and alternatives. If the government had joined in this, instead of pursuing a policy of a sulking child, then we would be in a different situation - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- Furthermore, this is a continuation of what was also agreed upon in Washington on September 3rd, meaning that Poland can be a major gas hub for this part of Europe. So, this is a deliberate strategy - he continued.
08:01
Szłapka on the Government's Reaction to Fuel Prices:
A Solution Will Be Proposed In The Coming Days.
"I think a solution will be proposed in the coming days," said Adam Szłapka in an interview with Mariusz Piekarski on the TVP Info program "Gość poranka" (Morning Guest), when asked about government intervention regarding fuel prices.
"The Ministry of State Assets, the Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Finance are working very intensively on a solution that will be implemented in the coming days," he continued.
"I think so," he added when asked if a government decision would be made by the end of the week.
08:03
Bogucki on a TVN24 journalist:
He behaves in an intentionally provocative way to set a trap – not in the woods, but in front of the cameras.
- I don't judge this person because I approach everyone with respect, but if someone behaves in an intentionally provocative way, knowing perfectly well what the President of the Republic of Poland's stance is, to set a trap, not in the woods, but in front of TVN cameras, then there will be such a reaction - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" (Piasecki's Conversation).
08:05
Siemoniak on Nawrocki's Visit to Hungary:
Unambiguously Perceived by Everyone as Support for the Pro-Russian Orbán.
- What happened in a few months that President Nawrocki previously refused to meet, citing Orbán's pro-Russian stance and closeness to Putin as reasons? Nothing has changed since then […] and now such a meeting - said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
- A meeting at the culmination of the Hungarian election campaign, unambiguously perceived by everyone as support for the pro-Russian Orbán, who no longer hides at all that he is pursuing a certain Kremlin agenda, that he is blocking aid for Ukraine, a credit for Ukraine, and blocking 2 billion for Poland which we should receive for equipment transferred to Ukraine. So there are no illusions here as to what agenda this politician has - he continued.
- And this is not in the category of meeting with everyone. No - not with everyone and not at every moment. That's what foreign policy is about, knowing who to meet and when - he pointed out.
08:08
Szłapka on the PSL's Draft Bill:
Clubs Will Decide. In My Opinion, the Current Regulations are Adequate.
- The President's idea is useless. The PSL's idea is a parliamentary initiative. Honestly, I haven't had time to read this bill yet. The clubs will decide, as it is not a government bill, so it has a slightly different path - said Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.
- I think that Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, as the Minister of National Defence, is looking for all solutions that will strengthen Polish security. In my opinion, the current regulations are adequate; the 1997 act allows for a very smooth transfer of NBP profits - he continued.
08:12
Bogucki on the Coalition's Paralysis of the Tribunal's Work:
They Didn't Want the Constitutional Tribunal to Watch the Government's Hands.
- First and foremost, on behalf of the President, I sent another letter the day before yesterday in response to the incomplete answer received from the Chancellery of the Sejm of Włodzimierz Czarzasty. [I would like to know] the essential matter. Why, for a year and 3 months, did the coalition not elect judges [to the Constitutional Tribunal]? Why were there no candidates? Because in an absolutely planned and conscious manner, they wanted to paralyze the work of the Constitutional Tribunal and, in reality, wanted to exclude this constitutional body, which is simply unacceptable - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.
- This coalition, in an absolutely conscious, planned manner, was destroying the Constitutional Tribunal, because if they had elected judges normally, which they had the right to do, it would have turned out that they were legitimizing the Constitutional Tribunal, and this Constitutional Tribunal would have been watching the government's hands, because that's its purpose. They didn't want the Constitutional Tribunal to watch the government's hands. The moment the possibility of gaining a majority in the Constitutional Tribunal appeared on the horizon, they elected 6 at once - he continued.
08:14
Bogucki Asked About the Swearing-in of Constitutional Tribunal Judges:
The President Will Communicate This Decision.
- This is the President's decision [whether he will accept the oaths from the Constitutional Tribunal judges]. This is a conversation, even from yesterday, between myself and the President, and the President will communicate this decision. It would be good for the Marshal today not to try to summon or lecture the President, since he himself, as a representative of the majority, the second person in the state today, has systematically and deliberately destroyed the Constitutional Tribunal by not electing judges to the Tribunal - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in "Piasecki's Conversation" on TVN24.
08:15
"PiS politicians either received a message from Nowogrodzka, or they simply don't know how to read. In this ECJ ruling, firstly, a systemic problem with the rule of law in Poland has been identified; secondly, it states that the flawed appointment is not the sole condition, and that the entire process, the appointment model, and how a given judge functioned previously must also be examined," said Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.
"It was stated that the Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Chamber is a problem and that the Constitutional Tribunal is a problem, meaning that the ECJ ruling, in effect, once again highlights that we have a systemic problem with the rule of law and it needs to be resolved," he continued.
08:19
Siemoniak:
We Don't Have a Rule to Only Talk to Those We Agree With. But Orbán? His Pro-Russian Stance is Simply Stark Naked.
- Every situation is different and we must always look at Poland's interests. Prime Minister Tusk met with Prime Minister Fico right at the beginning of 2024. Fico had also just had elections, and everyone was wondering which path he would take. And then he went down a path incomparable to Orbán's. Here, looking at the details, Slovakia is in the Eurozone, yet it pursues a different policy. And in 2025, he was in Moscow twice as part of a peculiar policy known as the 'four cardinal points' policy in Slovakia - said Tomasz Siemoniak in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.
- Regarding the President of Serbia - this is a situation where the European Union, the West, is fighting for Serbia and trying to talk to President Vučić. […] And I believe this game is worth the candle, that in Serbia there are people who would very much like to see Serbia in the European Union - he continued.
- So it's not a rule that we only talk to those we agree with. We talk to various people, but not with Orbán. There's no game here. This is simply stark naked pro-Russian sentiment - he assessed.
- These are concrete actions - blocking credit for Ukraine. We saw terrible images from Lviv yesterday. […] Russia brutally, criminally continues this war. It strikes civilians, it strikes residential buildings. And Orbán, in such a situation, blocks money that the European Union provides. So it is a huge mistake by President Nawrocki - he stated.
08:24
Szłapka:
Standing as a backdrop for Orbán's campaign photo is so humiliating that the President will never wash away this shame
- The story that the president went to Budapest in connection with the Polish-Hungarian Friendship Day is an absolute fabrication - said Adam Szłapka on TVP Info.
- This year, Polish-Hungarian Friendship Day was supposed to take place in Poland, a part of it was held in Przemyśl, and for the first time in history, the formula developed during Lech Kaczyński's time was changed. It was done in a divided manner, partly in Poland and partly in Budapest, solely so that the president would serve as a backdrop for Orbán's campaign photo. To be honest, it is humiliating - he continued.
- For the first time in history, during Polish-Hungarian Friendship Day, there was a meeting between the president and the prime minister. [...] Conducting a campaign and standing as a backdrop for Orbán's campaign photo is so humiliating that, frankly, the president will never wash away this shame - he went on to say.
08:32
Siemoniak on Meeting with Orbán:
President Nawrocki's Huge Mistake.
- It's a huge mistake by President Nawrocki [the meeting with Orbán]. I don't know what the calculation was here. I think he himself was aware of how uncomfortable it was. We saw some hiding in the calendar, there weren't any special films, any special statements. So President Nawrocki realizes he's doing the wrong thing, but for some reason he went along with it - said Tomasz Siemoniak on "Graffiti" Polsat News.
08:46
Siemoniak Addresses President Regarding ABW Nominations:
I Appeal, Let's Settle This.
- We've heard various justifications since October: the heads of services don't want to meet, the training isn't right, other things aren't right. [...] This is a clear-cut matter. It concerns [ABW] officers who meet the criteria, who are ready, who have undertaken very difficult service, risking their lives and health, and for incomprehensible reasons, they are being blocked - said Tomasz Siemoniak in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.
- I thought that after the meeting on January 15th, this matter would cease to be a political struggle. [...] Let's leave these officers alone. I appeal, Mr. President: truly, let's settle this and never play games with things like officer nominations in the army or police - he appealed.
- We have a thousand things to argue about, to quarrel over, to have different visions on. But let's leave these people alone. They've been waiting since October. How do they feel? What do they think about the President who is looking for various pretexts not to sign them? Everyone knows perfectly well that these names raise no doubts. I haven't heard anything to the contrary - he pointed out.
- We sent them again in January. No information concerning the ABW was received, no one criticized them, no one asked for supplementation. It was absolutely clear to me that if the President said on January 15th: "Please, submit these applications again," that this matter would be closed. But it is not closed, and we have this strange situation: half signed, half unsigned - he continued.
08:56
Siemoniak:
The political attack regarding the Kłodzko affair is deeply dishonest. I have nothing to do with this story.
- How do you feel about the fact that you are regularly attacked on Twitter about this Kłodzko story, concerning the scandal involving former Civic Coalition activists in the context of a pedophilia conviction? - asked Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' 'Graffiti'.
- For me, this means that this political fight is crossing all boundaries. I'm not even talking about the children of these people. Horrible deeds, repulsive deeds, convicted by a court; the state acted here. So, this attempt at politicization, I have to endure it all. It's an unpleasant matter in the sense that I have nothing to do with it. I have nothing to do with this story - replied Tomasz Siemoniak.
- I supported hundreds of people in the 2018 election campaign. I knew, I know thousands of people. Thousands of people ask for a photo in various situations. So it seems to me that pointing to different people, because other people also had photos with this person, is deeply indecent and dishonest, because it's an attempt to suggest that I have anything to do with it - the minister continued.
- There is an attempt to use a photo of support from an election campaign where I supported many people. It was my electoral district, I used to come to this Kłodzko. How could someone possibly know that after 8 years this person, who looks absolutely like someone who doesn't have such problems or a dark history in the background, would be convicted for it? It seems to me that this political attack associated with it, such an attempt at politicization, is deeply dishonest - he stated.
09:43
Czarzasty on the PSL's Bill:
After Receiving the Expert Opinions, I Will Decide on Further Steps.
- Yesterday, the Polish People's Party submitted a draft bill on the Polish Defense Investment Fund. This draft is available on the Sejm's website - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference.
- This draft, like any other bill, has been forwarded for preliminary opinions to the Legislative Bureau and the Bureau for Expert Analysis and Regulatory Impact Assessment. This assessment will take place next week, and after receiving these two expert opinions, I will decide what we will do next in this matter, depending on those opinions - he continued.
- The bill is being treated like any other bill, meaning with great attention - he added.
09:44
Czarzasty:
I will soon submit a motion for a decision regarding the procedure for the veto of the remedial act
- I will soon submit a motion for a decision to the Sejm presidium regarding the procedure for the veto of the remedial act. I will remind you that the President's veto concerns a law limiting the use of temporary detention - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference.
- This matter will be opinioned today by the presidium and the convention. I will strive to introduce this matter for debate, to refer it to the relevant committee, and to vote on it on Friday - he continued.
09:48
- A letter has been received from the President's Chancellery regarding the procedure for appointing judges to the Constitutional Tribunal. This is the second letter on this matter. The first letter arrived two weeks ago, concerning alleged errors in the appointment procedure, according to the President's Chancellery. The Head of the Sejm Chancellery, Mr. Marek Siwiec, responded to that letter - Włodzimierz Czarzasty stated at a press conference.
- The second letter from the President's Chancellery is essentially a rebuttal to Mr. Siwiec's letter [...]. Therefore, I wish to declare: The Sejm Chancellery has concluded its correspondence on this matter with the President's Chancellery. We will not respond to the second letter, not because we are arrogant or unwilling in any way, but because we believe the president's stance is to prolong this matter and it clearly demonstrates bad faith - he continued.
- We view this matter as it was described in Mr. Siwiec's letter following the first letter from the president. Specifically, the entire procedure was conducted in accordance with the law, in accordance with the Sejm's regulations, and we expect the president to accept the oath of the judges - he went on to say.
09:57
Czarzasty on Nawrocki's Behavior at the Press Conference:
Exceptionally Rude, Brutal
- I am also concerned about the President's emotional state, because I observed him at the press conference and his behavior towards the TVN journalist. I want to say that I assess this behavior as exceptionally rude, brutal, and something that should never have happened - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference.
- I think, Mr. President, that if you are able to get so upset with a TVN journalist, then what will happen to your behavior when serious political matters are being decided. Matters upon which, for example, the future of Poland will depend. I worry about that - he continued.
10:04
- Regarding the motion for a state tribunal for Mr. Ziobro, the motion is ready and it should be expected that it will be processed in early April - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference.
10:07
Kaczyński questioned by journalists about interference in elections:
Deal with pedophilia in the party that rules today.
- Regarding interference in electoral matters, the side you represent really shouldn't comment on this. Because the scale of external interference in Polish affairs in 2023 was simply gigantic and fundamentally undermined the significance of these elections – stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press briefing in the Sejm.
- You are trying to present normal politics as some kind of abuse because you have no other arguments. Deal with pedophilia in the party that rules today instead – he continued.
10:07
Kaczyński Asked About Nawrocki in Hungary:
These Kinds of Visits Are the Norm, the Current Prime Minister Also Made Them.
- I haven't spoken with him [the President], but these kinds of visits are the norm. The current Prime Minister also made such visits, and not even that long ago. So, making a big deal out of this is simply a media game, and not in the best style - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press briefing in the Sejm.
10:09
Czarzasty Asked About Adding Prime Minister's Report on Public Finances to Sejm Agenda:
I Won't Include It.
- I won't include it - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference, when asked if he would add the Prime Minister's report on the state of public finances to the agenda of the current Sejm session, as requested by Przemysław Czarnek.
- Because I have made such a decision - he continued, when pressed on why.
10:22
Czarzasty on Proposals to Hinder Polexit:
No Dispute Between The Left and Poland 2050.
- Regarding Polexit, there is no dispute between The Left and Poland 2050. I recently met with Minister Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, and I believe we will reach an agreement on these matters. There is no problem here - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference, when asked about The Left's proposal concerning hindering Polexit and potential cooperation on this issue with Poland 2050, "which apparently feels aggrieved that it's not their proposal on hindering Polexit that will be processed."
- We need to reach an agreement so that everything can be processed smoothly. I don't see any urgency at the moment, because I also don't see any desire to pull Poland out of the European Union tomorrow - he continued, when pressed about when the proposal would appear in the Sejm.
10:28
Czarnek Speaks in the Sejm:
Finances are collapsing, and people are offered fuel a few groszy cheaper.
- Pale fear, none of this will help you, everything will come out. What you're doing with public finances will come out just the same. 80 billion over by March 17th for a budget deficit. Isn't that right, Minister Domański? Let's see, it will come out on April 15th. 48.5 billion at the end of February. VAT 7 billion lower than it should be in February, even though prices are rising, the cost of living is unbelievable, and supposedly we have GDP growth - stated Przemysław Czarnek in the Sejm.
- What is going on here, where is this money? We submitted a request for information from the Prime Minister regarding the collapse of public finances, but the Prime Minister is not here. He'll probably send out some Szłapka or someone to lie again. I wonder if he'll apologize again. Finances are collapsing, and people are offered fuel a few groszy cheaper. Shame, you must resign - the PiS politician continued.
10:49
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
We're calling Glapiński's bluff
- We are calling President Glapiński's bluff. We are calling the bluff on the intentions that if there is profit, then this profit should go towards security as quickly as possible. The Polish People's Party (PSL) has done its work, we will implement SAFE Europe and we are fighting for money from the National Bank of Poland (NBP) - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press briefing in the Sejm.
10:55
- I don't think [a vote in the Sejm on the President's veto of the SAFE act will be possible]. Because fortunately, this veto does not close our path; it makes things particularly difficult for the police and the Border Guard. For the military, it is easier to implement through the Armed Forces Support Fund, and we will proceed with that, just like the American or Korean SAFE, with various loans and support from other countries, which is subject to many conditions - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press briefing in the Sejm.
- So it is better to focus today on utilizing these existing instruments, which are not as perfect as in our act. But if there is no majority here to reject it, then it's a waste of time - he continued.
12:16
- On behalf of the Law and Justice Parliamentary Club, Professor Przemysław Czarnek requested information from the Prime Minister regarding the state of our country's public finances. This request got stuck in the Sejm presidium. It simply wasn't considered - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.
- Therefore, we are submitting a motion to convene the Public Finance Committee so that Donald Tusk can explain the state of our country's finances. Everything indicates that it is dramatically bad - he continued.
12:28
Błaszczak Offers Suggestion to the Government Regarding Fuel Prices:
We Propose Using PiS's Bill.
- We propose using the bill drafted by Law and Justice. When Law and Justice was in power, war broke out again in Ukraine [...] at that time, gasoline prices were also very high, and our government, the Law and Justice government, reduced both VAT and excise duty - Mariusz Błaszczak said at a press conference, when asked about a proposal for the ruling party regarding fuel prices.
- Now, we submitted the exact same bill several weeks ago, and it is lying with Marshal Czarzasty - he continued.
12:32
- I believe that Kosiniak-Kamysz got scared by Donald Tusk ceding to him the responsibility of signing SAFE 3%, this extremely unfavorable loan - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference, when asked what he thought of Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz's proposal regarding SAFE 0%.
- Kosiniak-Kamysz is looking for a different solution. There is an alternative on the table, indeed, it is the project of President Karol Nawrocki and Professor Adam Glapiński - he continued.
- Donald Tusk claimed that there was no money in this presidential project, while Kosiniak-Kamysz noticed that there was money there. So I think he is doing it out of fear - he went on to say.
12:41
Kuźmiuk:
We are pleased that Kosiniak-Kamysz had an epiphany and saw the money in the presidential submission
- We are pleased that Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz had some kind of epiphany during the holiday season and truly saw the money in the presidential submission, because despite the fact that the PSL submitted its club project, the heart of that project is what was in the presidential project. The amendments that were introduced are actually mere stage directions - said Zbigniew Kuźmiuk at a press conference.
13:11
Nawrocki at the Appointment of the Business Council:
I Deeply Believe She Will Be Able to Break the Middle-Income Trap.
- I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this, because the strength of the Polish economy is based on the one hand on the strength and diligence of the Polish world, the work of Polish employees, people who work hard every day, and on the other hand on innovation, entrepreneurship, a certain acumen, and difficult, as I know, decisions made in the business world. And you make these decisions every day - stated Karol Nawrocki during the ceremony of appointing the Business Council.
- This is something that transcends all political disputes. Poland's economic success over the last 36 years, more than 35 years, is an objective reality, ladies and gentlemen, and it is a great achievement of Polish entrepreneurs and the business world as well. And for this, as the President of Poland, I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart - he continued.
- We can, of course, measure this economic success using various tools and various statistics and look at it from many levels. I look at all these statistics as something that, on the one hand, gives Polish entrepreneurs and the Polish world of work an excellent rating, but on the other hand, mobilizes them for further action - he emphasized.
- Although we have reached 78% of GDP per capita of the European Union average, taking into account purchasing power parity, we are still aware that countries like the Czech Republic, not to mention Germany, Spain, or Italy, the largest economies, are still ahead of us. And today, as a state, we have found ourselves in what economists call the middle-income trap. So I also deeply believe that the Business Council at the President of Poland, with my great support, will be able to break the middle-income trap. And we will be delighted with 78% on the one hand, and on the other hand, we will never settle for this 78% - he added.
13:20
- And here we have ambitious people and individuals. Often, this word, I repeat, ladies and gentlemen, positively audacious to the effect that we should gain as much as possible and also develop on the international stage. Measurable. Our success is also economic. Thanks to Poland receiving an invitation to the G20 summit. This is a great success. And although President Donald Trump invited me personally as President of Poland, I am fully aware that Poland owes this success to you, Polish employers, and also Polish employees, but this is a clear signal that on the international stage, ladies and gentlemen, Poland is starting to matter, and we have an invitation to the G20 summit, which is a kind of breakthrough, but we cannot stop here in Davos - stated President Karol Nawrocki at the ceremony establishing the Business Council.
- When I met with President Trump, I said that as the largest economic, but also military and armed forces power in the Central and Eastern European region, we are counting on Poland to be permanently in the G20. The President's reaction was very positive, optimistic, and he said that this will certainly happen - he continued.
- I want to tell you that both President Trump's administration, the Presidential Palace administration, and the Sherpas responsible for the G20 are already working on Poland gaining permanent membership in the G20. And again, this cannot happen without your participation and without our cooperation - he emphasized.
13:43
Nawrocki Addresses the Business Council:
I Hope You Haven't Believed in This Group That I'm a Regular Veto-Machine.
- I truly dream, ladies and gentlemen, that through the Business Council, we will develop an optimal and sensible model of cooperation between Polish entrepreneurs, Polish business, and state administration - stated President Karol Nawrocki at the ceremony of appointing the Business Council.
- I would not only like to listen to you, but I also believe that, just as with other councils under the President, you will provide opinions on legislation that directly affects the Polish economy. These tasks are carried out by all councils under the President, speaking throughout the legislative process about what constitutes good and bad solutions for Polish entrepreneurs - he continued.
- And I hope that in this group, you haven't believed that I'm a regular veto-machine, because out of 206 laws that have reached the President of Poland, 177 laws have been signed - emphasized the President of the Republic of Poland.
13:45
Nawrocki:
We Cannot Abandon Coal Too Quickly
- I am consistent in my conviction that we cannot abandon coal too quickly, which for me is an expression of the stabilization of the Polish economy, also in moments that I hope will not come, but we must consider everything. However, nuclear energy is certainly the future of the Republic of Poland, and renewable energy sources, within the energy mix, serve as a form of supplementation - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the ceremony of establishing the Business Council.
15:10
Sikorski on Nawrocki's Meeting with Orbán:
There Was No Protocol or Political Need for Him to Make a Pilgrimage to a Lower-Ranking Official,
- I publicly asked what Polish interest President [Karol Nawrocki] wanted to pursue in Budapest. And I recall that this visit to Budapest is very unusual from the outset, because for a president, an equal partner is another president, and with the President of Hungary, Mr. President met within the framework of friendship days in Poland, in sequence, in Przemyśl, and there was no protocol or political need for him to make a pilgrimage to a lower-ranking official, meaning the prime minister, and we have very similar political systems, both in Poland and Hungary - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.
15:11
Sikorski on Nawrocki's Visit to Hungary:
The Only Justification Was the Desire to Support Orbán in His Election Campaign.
- The only justification for this visit was the desire to support Prime Minister Orbán in his election campaign, and so far, there are no positive outcomes for our relations visible. There has been no lifting of Hungarian vetoes in the EU, nor has the President brought back two fugitives wanted by Polish justice, suspected of stealing public funds. Therefore, I fear the consequences will be exclusively negative - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.
15:13
Sikorski Asked About Nawrocki's Visit to Hungary:
It Harmed Poland's Foreign Policy.
- This visit [by Karol Nawrocki to Hungary] harmed Poland's foreign policy because it is not Poland's role to interfere in election processes in other countries. Even more so for candidates who help Putin. So my great disappointment that the President is acting according to ideological and party logic, not state logic - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.
15:16
Sikorski:
I hope Kaczyński stops lying about a Smoleńsk assassination plot
- I was hoping you would ask about the fact that he lost another court case against me. Let me remind you – he already lost once when he accused me of diplomatic treason, and now, within the last 48 hours, he has definitively lost the case where he sued me for saying that his brother, President Lech Kaczyński, contributed to the disaster – stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.
- The court ruled that I had both subjective and objective reasons to state that. And I hope that Chairman Kaczyński will stop lying about some Smoleńsk assassination plot, and I hope that your television will also show the hypocrisy of Kaczyński speaking of an assassination at the monthly commemorations, while what did he present in court to try and win against me? The Miller Report on the Smoleńsk crash – he continued.
15:25
Sikorski on Czarnek:
I consider him an exceptional hypocrite; he invokes religious inspiration, then spews hatred towards his neighbor.
- I consider him an exceptional hypocrite [Przemysław Czarnek] because he invokes religious inspiration, then spews hatred towards his neighbor, political opponents, or even Christians who have a different sensitivity than his fundamentalist views. A grotesque example of his hypocrisy is to first take a subsidy for photovoltaics, for renewable energy, and then not only criticize but outright condemn the EU for promoting renewable, i.e., clean, sources of energy - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.

Sikorski on Nawrocki's Visit to the USA:
This Time It's Not a State Visit, But a Party Visit.
- This time we are not dealing with a state visit, but a party visit, so the president will be there as the representative for Poland of the MAGA movement, and I hope he will not speak against the country's foreign policy - stated Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.

"Currently, if a pregnant woman goes on sick leave, the employer pays for the first 33 days. For many companies, especially small ones, this is a huge cost, and as a result, women are treated as a 'risk'. Because of this, they are pushed towards 'mandate contracts' or simply rejected during recruitment, just like Ms. Klaudia. This cannot continue" - wrote Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on X.
"Today, Poland 2050 has submitted a bill that will ensure ZUS pays for a pregnant woman's sick leave from the first day. Employers will cease to incur additional costs, and young women will finally be treated fairly in the labor market." - she continued in her post.
Wielu próbuje zrzucać winę za niską dzietność na „złą popkulturę”, ideologie czy same kobiety, bo znalezienie kozła ofiarnego jest proste i nie wymaga rozwiązań. Prawda jest taka: młodzi którzy chcą zakładać rodziny mają w Polsce trudno.

Tusk:
First Effect of Nawrocki's Visit to Budapest. Orbán Cuts Off Ukraine's Gas Supplies
"There is the first effect of Karol Nawrocki's visit to Budapest. Prime Minister Orbán has cut off Ukraine's gas supplies. Putin is rejoicing" - Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X.
Jest pierwszy efekt wizyty @NawrockiKn w Budapeszcie. Premier Orbán odciął Ukrainę od dostaw gazu. Putin się cieszy.

Szczucki:
CPAC is an Opportunity to Meet Trump, and That's the Primary Reason for President Nawrocki's Visit
- I think that first and foremost, it will certainly be an opportunity to meet with Donald Trump, and I believe that's the primary reason for President Karol Nawrocki's visit - Krzysztof Szczucki said in an interview on RMF FM's "Popołudniowa rozmowa" (Afternoon Conversation), when asked what he would like the president to achieve at CPAC.
- We need to constantly work with Trump to strengthen the American presence on NATO's eastern flank - he continued.
18:36
Szczucki:
We must seize opportunities to tell Orbán he is mistaken and call for his conversion
- If you listen to what President Karol Nawrocki said at that briefing, that press conference, it was a direct statement to Viktor Orbán that Hungary is pursuing a wrong policy, that Putin is a criminal, that the Russian Federation is waging an aggressive war on the territory of Ukraine, and that this cannot be defended - Krzysztof Szczucki said on RMF FM.
- This was said directly, and we must take advantage of such occasions to tell Viktor Orbán, who is in this family of right-wing parties, that he is mistaken and to call for his conversion - he continued.
18:41
Szczucki on Newly Elected Constitutional Tribunal Judges:
For the Good of the State, Taking These Oaths Should Be Seriously Considered.
- The Marshal is playing his political game, and he should participate in this dialogue. A dialogue that would likely end constructively - Krzysztof Szczucki said in RMF FM.
- If the election was correct, then yes - he continued, when asked if the president should swear in 6 newly elected judges of the Constitutional Tribunal.
- This must stem from the correspondence [whether the election was correct] - he went on to say, when asked if the election was correct.
- There is only one doubt that I have, which I don't know how to resolve. The election, in accordance with the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal and comments on the Constitution, should be conducted in such a way as to immediately fill the vacant positions, so that there are no vacancies. Here we had long vacancies, and these judges were elected in 6 ballots, but without specifying which positions each judge was assigned to... - he added, when pressed on the same issue.
- In my opinion, ultimately, for the good of the state, taking these oaths should be seriously considered at the end, but after establishing that all procedures have been clarified by the Marshal, that he has answered all the president's questions, then I assume that the swearing-in could take place - he noted, when asked if, in his opinion, this was a circumstance that entitled the president not to accept the oaths.
- I would like us to rise above this inter-party dispute and say: fine, they are not liked, these people who have been elected are terrible, but if all procedures have been followed, and this should be clarified in this exchange of correspondence, then ultimately one must accept their oaths - he mentioned.

Jabłoński:
It's very good that Nawrocki, in the presence of Hungarian politicians and journalists, clearly stated Poland's position
- It is very good that President Nawrocki in Hungary, being in the presence of Hungarian politicians and Hungarian journalists, very clearly stated Poland's position – Putin is a criminal. Hungary is a country that pursues its own policy towards Russia, it is their bilateral policy towards Russia, towards Ukraine. We do not like it. We say it openly - said Paweł Jabłoński in an interview with Piotr Witwicki on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".
- We can, of course, adopt the same tactic as Donald Tusk, for example, to constantly insult Orbán, not to talk to him at all, unless he happens to be at the European Council. And what is the success? There are no results on this side - he continued.
20:02
Jabłoński:
I am critical of Orbán – which doesn't mean we shouldn't talk to him
- Do you expect us to criticize only one pro-Russian politician or all pro-Russian politicians? Orbán is being presented at this time as the only pro-Russian politician. He is not the only one, he is one of many - said Paweł Jabłoński in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
- We criticize Orbán. I am critical of Orbán – which doesn't mean we shouldn't talk to him. It's as if we were saying that we shouldn't talk to Angela Merkel at all, or to Merz, who today is like this, and in a moment might be pro-Russian again. You have to talk to everyone and firmly state what the reality is, just as President Nawrocki did two days ago in Budapest - he continued.
20:05
Jabłoński:
Orbán's Pro-Russian Actions Are Detrimental from Poland's Perspective
- It's not a question of whether Orbán's closeness [to Vladimir Putin] bothers me or not. I am assessing this from the perspective of Polish interests. Orbán's pro-Russian actions are detrimental from Poland's perspective. I am stating this very clearly - said Paweł Jabłoński on "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events) on Polsat News.
20:12
Jabłoński on Nawrocki's Reaction:
The TVN Editor Did It Deliberately to Create a Narrative that the President is Dodging a Question. An Old Trick.
- The editor from TVN [...] deliberately did it [asked President Karol Nawrocki a question] in such a way to have a recording of the president leaving while he asks a question, so that later in the evening news program of TVN they could create this narrative that the president is running away from a posed question. This is an old trick - said Paweł Jabłoński in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
- The president returned, and what did he say to this editor? Putin is a criminal. He raised his voice a little. Perhaps the TVN editor got a little upset, but he said exactly the truth: Putin is a criminal, Russia is an aggressor, and President Nawrocki is being sought by the Russian Federation. There is still an arrest warrant out for him - he indicated.
20:17
Wipler on Nawrocki's Visit to Hungary:
A Fundamental Error.
- I believe it is a mistake, a fundamental mistake, for Mr. President [to visit Hungary] for various reasons. Firstly, Prime Minister Orbán is perceived negatively by Poles precisely because of the characteristics you have pointed out, but also among voters of the broadly understood right-wing - stated Przemysław Wipler in "Kropka nad i" on TVN24.
- Secondly, Poles do not delve deeply into Hungarian interests, they do not reflect on why he does what he does, but they know that he plays very hard with his national interest, which in these matters is fundamentally different from Poland's interest. Playing with Putin or regarding the construction of a nuclear power plant using Russian technology may be in Hungary's interest, buying oil or gas from him at a time when Poland and Europe do not yet have it at preferential prices, and may be in Hungary's interest, is not in the interest of Poland or Europe - he continued.
20:26
Jabłoński:
It's a Matter of State Interest for Poland to Be in the European Union
- I wish my colleague Janusz Kowalski all the best, but in this regard, I am a staunch opponent. I believe that Poland's presence in the European Union - despite all the flaws in how this organization functions, despite a mass of problems, despite the fact that it has changed detrimentally compared to what it was just a few years ago - is still a matter of state interest for Poland to be in the European Union, to change it for the better, and to prevent changes for the worse - said Paweł Jabłoński on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).
20:29
Jabłoński:
Britons Left the EU and Aren't Particularly Happy. Anyone Here Proposing Such Ideas Should Familiarize Themselves with Recent History
- How can one prevent changes for the worse if they want to leave [the European Union]? Britons left the Union and they are not particularly happy about it. If someone here jumps out with this type of idea, they should familiarize themselves with recent history - said Paweł Jabłoński in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.
20:31
Wipler:
Nawrocki will not administer oaths to Constitutional Tribunal judges. He shouldn't due to procedural errors
- The President [Nawrocki] will not administer this oath [to the Constitutional Tribunal judges]. I wrote about this maybe two weeks ago, directly after the votes. I wrote on X that I can bet he won't, and I believe that due to the procedural errors committed during their appointment, he shouldn't - stated Przemysław Wipler on TVN24's "Kropka nad i" (Dot on the i).
For the Good of the State, Taking These Oaths Should Be Seriously Considered.
