Sikorski on Hungary's stance:
I am very surprised that there are politicians in Poland who support such practices.
- It is astonishing that a country which itself was invaded by Russia, which during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 had the slogan "Russians go away" and this under a prime minister who started as a liberal anti-communist, today we hear about machinations with Russia regarding sanctions or undermining European solidarity. This is astonishing, and therefore I am very surprised that there are politicians in Poland who support such practices and such politicians - said Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.

"The President is trying to divide the coalition by swearing in two Constitutional Tribunal judges (those whose candidacies were put forward by PSL and Polska2050), and not the other four. Nothing will come of it. The Sejm appointed six judges. And six, according to the law, should sit on the Tribunal" - wrote Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on X.
Prezydent próbuje dzielić koalicję zaprzysięgając dwoje sędziów TK (tych których kandydatury wskazał PSL i Polska2050), a czworo nie. Nic z tego. Sejm wybrał sześcioro sędziów. I sześcioro, zgodnie z prawem, powinno zasiąść w Trybunale.

Sikorski:
Hungary Is Beginning to Violate Further Points of the Treaty on European Union
- It seems to me that Hungary is already beginning to violate further points of the Treaty on the European Union; some funds are already blocked for them because they are having problems with both the rule of law and the honest spending of European money. Besides, they are abusing the right of veto - said Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.
- And the latest revelations, in my opinion, undermine those points of the Lisbon Treaty which state that all member states are obliged to cooperate loyally and implement the agreed foreign policy of the European Union. And our agreed foreign policy is to support Ukraine, not the aggressor - he continued.
17:03
Sikorski:
Ukraine is Fighting for Europe's Right to Live in Peace
- I am glad that I was able to participate in the meeting of the Council of the European Union today, and it is very good that it began with a visit to a memorial site, a church in Bucha, on the anniversary of its liberation from an occupier who killed 500 innocent civilians in a month – said Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.
- This should remind us what this war is about. This war is about having the right not to be invaded by a neighbor, about having the right not to be massacred without reason by a neighbor, and in this sense, Ukraine is fighting not only for itself, it is fighting for the right of nations, for the right of Europe to live in peace – he continued.

Tusk Attacks Kaczynski and Nawrocki:
Political Collaboration Also with Lavrov and Putin
- I dismissed Mr. Kaczynski and his foolish interview jokingly, but there is nothing to laugh about here. This clear and strong active support by PiS, Kaczynski, and Nawrocki for Viktor Orbán's government on the eve of the Hungarian elections, in light of what we heard today, is essentially political collaboration also with Lavrov and Putin – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.
- There is no room for speculation here anymore. Some of you thought I was exaggerating when I said that for some reason PiS, President Nawrocki, Chairman Kaczynski, for some reason, support Russia. You thought I was exaggerating, that it wasn't that bad, and today it's hard to have any doubts. If someone today desires the victory of the most pro-Russian government in Europe, then this is no longer the result of some stupidity or blindness, but a conscious, very dangerous game from the perspective of Poland's interests and the security of the whole of Europe. This truth must finally reach everyone – he continued.
16:32
Tusk on the possible swearing-in of only 2 Constitutional Tribunal judges:
We’ll find a way for these judges to start working.
- Oh, what a surprise. No, I'm not surprised, but as I said, we’ll find a way for these judges [elected to the Constitutional Tribunal] to start working - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.
16:23
Tusk at Conference with Irish Prime Minister:
We Will Work Together to Ensure Energy Prices Cease to Be a Threat to Competitiveness.
- It is known that, and we also discussed this, energy prices are crucial not only from Poland's perspective but for all of Europe. Therefore, we will work together to ensure that energy prices cease to be a threat to competitiveness, both in Ireland and Poland, and on a pan-European scale - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference with the Prime Minister of Ireland.
16:16
Tusk Tweets About Hungary in the EU:
Orban and his Foreign Minister Left Europe Long Ago.
- Hungary is and will remain in the European Union. Viktor Orban and his foreign minister left Europe long ago - wrote Donald Tusk on social media.
Hungary is and will be in the European Union. Victor Orbán and his foreign minister left Europe long ago.

Szłapka:
Coalition Will Defend Hennig-Kloska
- The coalition will defend Minister Hennig-Kloska. There is a majority [to reject the motion of no confidence] - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.
14:21
- There is no such threat; they are meant to serve Polish security - said Adam Szłapka at a press conference, when asked about the Patriot batteries and whether there had been any inquiries from the USA to the Polish government about their relocation.
14:19
Szłapka on the Swearing-in of Constitutional Tribunal Judges:
The President Still Needs Some Time.
- In any case, in accordance with the Constitution, because these provisions are very precisely described in the Constitution, the judges have been selected, the Constitutional Tribunal judges are elected by the Sejm by way of a resolution, and the Constitution does not further specify here, it does not provide for additional provisions, so the Constitution is very clear and explicit here, and it is the duty of these judges to take the oath before the President - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.
- This stems from the law, but it is a custom. We heard a statement from the current judge of the Constitutional Tribunal, Mr. Piotrowicz, who, in a parliamentary statement when justifying one of the draft laws on the Constitutional Tribunal, said that it is not an obligation at all, that it must be before the President - emphasized the government spokesperson.
- According to the law, Constitutional Tribunal judges take the oath before the President, and this is not an arbitrary decision, the President's decision, it is one of his duties, and of course, I think that this is a moment when the President still needs some time. He returned from the USA, it seems yesterday, so I think we can still give the President a little time - he continued.
12:52
Tusk on Actions Regarding Mass Fuel Tourism:
Our Fuel is as Cheap as Possible – Clearly Cheaper Than, for Example, in Germany.
- For now, we are not dealing with any kind of mass tourism, primarily from the West, meaning trips to Poland for cheaper fuel, but there is no doubt that there are individuals willing, especially from across the western border, to buy this cheaper fuel in Poland - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government session.
- This is in a sense the best possible review of our actions; indeed, our fuel is as cheap as possible, which means it is clearly cheaper than, for example, in Germany, but it also means full concentration and vigilance from all state institutions responsible for energy security, so as not to make any mistakes here - he continued.
12:40
Błaszczak:
I Am in Favor of the Death Penalty
- Personally, I am in favor of the death penalty, but for perpetrators of crimes like those in Kotlina Kłodzka. I believe that if someone commits these kinds of acts, these crimes, they should pay with their life. Of course, I am aware that the death penalty [...] is currently excluded from the Penal Code in Poland - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.
12:35
Błaszczak Asked About Potentially Sharing Patriots at Other Countries' Request:
Poland Should Not Grant Permissions.
- Poland should not grant permissions for this type of matter - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference, when asked if Poland should share Patriot systems at the request of other countries.
12:31
Tusk on the CPN:
Since we are operating in wartime conditions, we must also adopt certain extraordinary measures.
- [The fuel price reduction mechanism] has worked. Today, drivers, assuming an average tank size of 50 liters, will save around 60 PLN on a single refueling compared to prices before the introduction of this CPN package. I would like to clarify in literally two sentences certain misinterpretations of this mechanism and, in my opinion, unfounded objections, primarily that it is a non-market action, that we, as the government, have taken price regulation into our own hands - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government meeting.
- Nobody needs to convince me about market principles, as you can probably guess, but I want to emphasize with all my might that we are operating not just Poland, but it is essentially a global problem, we are operating in the conditions of ongoing wars, including the war in the Middle East, which has a decisive impact on global fuel prices - he continued.
- Since we are operating in wartime conditions, we must also adopt certain extraordinary measures. And yes, this is an extraordinary regulation aimed at protecting the population, citizens, from unjustified price increases, because everywhere in the world, including Poland, we have often observed attempts to exploit this situation to the detriment of citizens. Meaning, drivers have very often had to subsidize this war. That's how it was in the past - added the head of government.
12:30
Błaszczak on Lower Fuel Prices:
We Achieved the Czarnek Effect.
- Pressure pays off, we achieved the Czarnek effect, meaning a reduction in fuel prices at petrol stations. Only that such a reduction should have happened three weeks ago. That's when Professor Czarnek, on behalf of the Law and Justice Parliamentary Club, submitted a bill to lower VAT and excise duty on fuels - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.
12:07
Żurek's Request to the European Parliament for the Lifting of Kamiński's Immunity:
Suspicion of Committing Two Crimes.
"Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek today submitted a request to the President of the European Parliament to grant consent for the prosecution of MEP Mariusz Kamiński. The request concerns the suspicion of committing two crimes consisting of repeatedly requesting or ordering operational activities despite the lack of factual and legal grounds," the National Prosecutor's Office informed.
Prokurator Generalny Waldemar Żurek przekazał dziś Przewodniczącej Parlamentu Europejskiego wniosek o wyrażenie zgody na pociągnięcie europosła Mariusza Kamińskiego do odpowiedzialności karnej.

11:14
- Pressure pays off. We had to wait for this day since March 9th. For weeks, Tusk was fleecing Poles, claiming nothing could be done, then the act wasn't published for almost a day, and wholesale prices were quietly increased, and finally, regulations extended the higher prices until today - Jarosław Kaczyński wrote on social media.
- Finally, together we achieved what we had been fighting for for weeks. #EfektCzarnka = low prices, visible to the naked eye at petrol stations. Enjoy it while you can, because knowing Tusk, who knows how long these prices will last - emphasized the PiS leader.
Presja ma sens❗️ Musieliśmy czekać na ten dzień od 9 marca❗️ Przez tygodnie Tusk łupił Polaków, twierdząc, że nic nie da się zrobić, potem prawie dobę nie publikowano ustawy i po cichu podnoszono ceny w hurcie, a na koniec rozporządzeniami przedłużono wyższe ceny aż do dzisiaj.… pic.twitter.com/CmVf7g5mqX

Morawiecki:
I Love Warsaw and All Big Polish Cities. But the Art of Managing Fair Development is About the Smaller Ones
"The current government has returned to a systematic approach to implementing development programs that is linked to what was previously called polarization-diffusion development. Today they don't define it that way, but in reality, it is indeed connected to it," said Mateusz Morawiecki during the presentation of the "One-Speed Poland" program.
"In the new principles of local government financing, the city where we are today has benefited the most. [...] I love Warsaw, I love all the big Polish cities. But the art of managing the economy and fair development lies in focusing on smaller cities, those that have lost their socio-developmental and socio-economic functions. For example, those that were once provincial capitals. [...] The entire philosophy of development on our side is precisely about restoring these socio-economic functions to medium-sized and smaller cities," he continued.
10:57
Morawiecki Proposes '500 Plus for Local Governments':
We're Heading Out to Poland with This Program.
- The program we are proposing today is a program that has undergone social consultations. It is a program that is intended to be fair – 500 zloty will be allocated per inhabitant with a – as they say – floor and cap, meaning a minimum and a maximum – said Mateusz Morawiecki during the presentation of the report “One-Speed Poland”.
- The floor is a budget of at least five million zloty for each commune. And the cap is a mechanism that equalizes the current advantages of large cities over medium-sized cities, meaning a cap of 100 million zloty per year […] for a given local government unit – explained the former Prime Minister.
- Otherwise, Warsaw or the wealthiest voivodeship would receive billions without this equalization process, meaning without this floor, without this cap – he added.
“We're Heading Out to Poland to Discuss This Program”
- Over 35,000 projects across Poland, over 100 billion zloty without bureaucracy. Two sheets of paper based on trust in local government officials, based on local entrepreneurs, local business, increasing the chances for rapid economic development not only in Warsaw and large cities. This is the “One-Speed Poland” program – he continued.
- With this program, we are heading out to Poland, we will consult it everywhere. I thank all those who have so far enabled us to construct this program, and we are heading out to Poland to discuss this program with residents, with the mayors of all communes, districts, cities, and villages – announced the deputy head of PiS.

- I haven't spoken with Mr. President about a Senate pact, but I can speak here on my own behalf. I believe it makes sense to truly consider the issue of a Senate pact. In many constituencies, right-wing votes were divided, and as a result, the right-wing lost to the left-wing or the center-left currently governing in Poland. Therefore, as a response to the challenges of our time, it's worth looking into this - stated Marcin Przydacz on Kanał Zero.
09:52
Przydacz:
If PiS Wins, Bogucki Has a High Chance to Be One of the Leaders of Such a Government
- If PiS wins, then Zbigniew Bogucki certainly has a high chance of being one of the leaders of such a government. However, as it stands today, as you can see, PiS's candidate is Przemysław Czarnek, and it is he who is likely pursuing this victory. I wish him all the best, but perhaps a coalition will need to be formed, and if it's a coalition, then it's decided with the coalition partner who is who - stated Marcin Przydacz on Kanał Zero.
09:48
Przydacz:
It wasn't just PiS that placed politicians in the Constitutional Tribunal. Pawłowicz didn't pretend not to be a politician, Markiewicz is a bit of an actor
- It wasn't just PiS that placed politicians [in the CT]. Mr. Kotlinowski, there were various people, in the 90s, there were also politicians. It's a body of a political nature, but no one was pretending. Krystyna Pawłowicz didn't pretend not to be a politician, whereas Mr. Markiewicz, I have the impression, is a bit of an actor - stated Marcin Przydacz on Kanał Zero.
09:37
Przydacz:
Tusk Doesn't Want to Reach Any Agreement with the President
- On a political level, there is a blockade [regarding ambassadors]. In my opinion, Donald Tusk does not want to be able to agree on anything with the president. He wants war, he wants constant bickering, constant attacks, and of course, to blame the president - stated Marcin Przydacz on Kanał Zero.

Morawiecki Publishes Video:
Let's Restore Poland to One Speed.
- For years, Poland's development was reserved for the largest cities, while smaller towns were left behind. The Strategic Investment Program introduced in 2021 by the PiS government changed everything - said the narrator in a video published on X by Mateusz Morawiecki.
- Investments started where there was previously a lack of funds. The PiS program has effectively abolished the division between a better and a worse Poland. Over 100 billion zlotys have been allocated to local governments across Poland. This amounts to over 25,000 investments - he continued.
- Our program represents true sustainable development, a dignified life regardless of one's place of residence. Today, Donald Tusk's government has halted this engine of development. Instead of investments, we have chaos, stagnation, and uncertainty. We know how to fix this. Let's restore Poland to one speed - he went on to say.

- The government had the instruments here, they could have lowered excise duty and VAT much earlier. Why didn't they do it? Because they have Domański's black hole, a gigantic public finance crisis, and every day of higher taxes… 23% VAT on 6 PLN is calculated differently than on 9 PLN. A few more zlotys to the budget to patch this hole of an incompetent finance minister and thereby fleece Poles. That's why I believe it was a delayed and deliberately prolonged action – stated Marcin Przydacz on Kanał Zero.

Our allies are well aware and understand the importance of the tasks we have here. Poland's security is an absolute priority" - wrote Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on X.

- The fact is, we have some of the cheapest fuel in Europe. Thanks to coordinated actions, thanks to this massive project, Poles are among the nations paying the least for diesel and gasoline in Europe - said Miłosz Motyka during a press conference at an Orlen station in Warsaw.
- Regarding fuel tourism, we are analyzing it very carefully. We are also in contact with our European partners - he continued.
- If we see that this tourism is actually disrupting supply at our stations and we receive such information from Orlen or the Ministry of State Assets, or from other entities, then we do not rule out making a decision to restrict fuel sales to foreigners - either territorially or throughout the entire country - the Minister of Energy stated.
- However, these are subsequent steps. For today, we do not see such a risk of supply disruption - he assured.
08:44
Motyka on Fuel Supplies to Poland:
At this moment there is no risk.
- This is the biggest global fuel price crisis, the biggest crisis on the oil market in over 50 years. [...] Many countries have introduced states of emergency related to energy security, with restrictions on refueling limits - said Miłosz Motyka during a press conference at an Orlen station in Warsaw.
- Poland is energy-secure. We have guaranteed an adequate level in fuel and crude oil storage. Fuel supplies to Poland are secured. At this moment, there is no risk regarding supply chain disruptions, and we do not foresee any - he assured.
- However, we must be aware that the global crisis, the crisis in the Middle East, could escalate. Therefore, we, as the government, will analyze this situation - he noted.
08:39
Motyka on Maximum Fuel Prices:
This mechanism is not against any industry or entrepreneur.
- I would also like to thank Polish entrepreneurs who have adapted to this extraordinary situation. The maximum price mechanism is not against any industry or any entrepreneur – said Miłosz Motyka during a press conference at an Orlen station in Warsaw.
- It is there to control the situation, so that tax reductions from the Polish budget translate directly into price reductions for gasoline at stations, so that no intermediaries or speculators, worst of all, profit along the way. And such a situation did occur in the past, when tax reductions did not always translate into price reductions at stations – he continued.
- We have guaranteed this with a maximum price, calculated daily, and an announcement from the Minister of Energy on this matter will be published daily. These prices will probably change, because the situation is extraordinary and exceptional – he indicated.
08:32
Bogucki on the Possible Swearing-in of Constitutional Tribunal Judges Before the Marshal of the Sejm:
A Crude and Brazen Attempt to Circumvent the Law.
- The literal wording of this statutory provision is clear – before the president or in the presence of the president, not through some letters or other legal combinations, because this is an attempt at such a crude and brazen circumvention of the law. [The President] cannot acknowledge it, because according to the Polish Constitution, state organs act within the limits and on the basis of the law. This law is clear – before the President of the Republic of Poland - stated Zbigniew Bogucki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
08:30
- [The President] has returned from the USA and will certainly look deeply, as was also announced, into constitutional matters. Why it's not here, and I'll show an example in the case of Krystian Markiewicz, is the Sejm's resolution; there's not a word about when the term begins, which judge it replaces, while the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling regarding Article 194 of the Constitution states – judges' terms must be individualized - stated Zbigniew Bogucki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
- Today, the President will certainly ponder this issue. It is certainly a very important matter for the President, as he is the guardian of the Constitution. He is the sole body in Poland that is the guardian of the Constitution. I don't know [if there will be a decision today]; the President must properly weigh these constitutional values. On the one hand, there are very serious, conscious, and deliberate shortcomings by this majority, in order not to elect Constitutional Tribunal judges, and therefore not to have the tribunal control this authority - he continued.
08:29
Motyka at Morning Press Conference at a Gas Station:
We Delivered What We Promised Poles. Lower Prices Are a Fact.
- As we declared, so we have fulfilled our promise to alleviate and support Polish families during the greatest global fuel price crisis, which affects Poland, Europe, and the entire world. None of us, no entrepreneur, no Pole, no Polish family has influence over what is happening in the Middle East. But the Polish government will do everything to support Polish families in this critical moment - said Miłosz Motyka during a press conference at an Orlen station in Warsaw.
- From today, from midnight, the precise mechanism of a maximum price, a tax reduction, a VAT reduction, an excise duty reduction to the minimum level, [...] will be in effect. 1.20 PLN less per liter of diesel, 1.20 PLN less per liter of 98 octane gasoline compared to yesterday's prices - this is a fact, and this must be stated clearly. Contrary to lies, contrary to disinformation spread particularly in recent days, we have delivered what we promised Poles - he pointed out.
- "Lower fuel prices" is not a promise. It is a fact, a concrete measure that will help Poles in this difficult situation - he added.
08:20
Bogucki on Fuel Prices:
Why Did This Government Sleep for 3 Weeks?
- I can only wonder, so to speak, why it was so late and why this government slept for 3 weeks, why it only woke up this morning, after 3 weeks of high prices, prices that drained Poles' pockets. We all see how high these amounts were. Gasoline was supposed to be 5.19, as Donald Tusk promised, it was approaching twice that amount - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in Polsat News' "Graffiti".
08:18
Leśkiewicz on Maximum Fuel Prices:
The President Had Great Doubts, but Decided to Sign It to Relieve Poles.
- The President had great doubts [regarding the law on “manual control of fuel prices”]. However, given the current situation on the fuel markets and the fact that Poles were paying more and more for fuel – after all, diesel cost nearly PLN 9 – the President had to make a decision that would, at least to some extent, alleviate the burden on Poles – said Rafał Leśkiewicz in the “First Interview of the Day” on TV Republika.
- Prices of 6.16 for gasoline and 7.60 for diesel are high. […] This is not a good solution, but it was the only solution the President had to agree to, or agreed to, considering the prevailing situation – he pointed out.
- The President responsibly considers the wallets of Poles and how to provide relief. Therefore, since the government prepared a legal solution after a month, the President decided to sign this solution, which brought at least some relief to Poles, but it is not an ideal solution – he continued.
08:13
Bogucki Asked About Reports on Patriots:
There Must Be an Initiative from the Government.
- Primarily, there must be a request here; if that's the case, I know nothing about it. However, there must be an initiative from the government - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in a conversation with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti."
- It is the government that, in each such case where the Polish Armed Forces are to be used outside the country's borders, must submit an appropriate request to the President, i.e., initiate the entire procedure. Then it goes through subsequent institutions, the National Security Bureau, the Chancellery, returns for the Prime Minister's counter-signature, and then the President's signature - the Head of the Presidential Chancellery continued.
- I have no knowledge in this regard that such a procedure has begun - he emphasized.
Bogucki referred to information from "Rzeczpospolita," according to which Washington suggests that one of the Polish Patriot system batteries be deployed to the Middle East. They also want missiles that are already in Poland.
08:06
Leśkiewicz:
The Attack on the Constitutional Tribunal Has Been Ongoing for 2 Years
- The attack on the [Constitutional] Tribunal has been ongoing for over two years now. Since the ruling coalition came to power. The ruling coalition carried out the attack on the Tribunal for the first time when they stopped paying salaries to the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal - said Rafał Leśkiewicz in the "First Conversation of the Day" on TV Republika.
07:59
Błaszczak:
Sikorski Should Resign from the Government
- Today we are witnessing an attack on Hungary, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, an attack by Poland's rulers. This is also extremely dangerous for relations, by weakening Poland's ties with countries in our part of Europe, Central Europe. The current rulers are actively rebuilding this alliance, which is dangerous for Poland, the German-Russian alliance - said Mariusz Błaszczak on Radio Republika.
- Poland is governed by people who harm the interests of our homeland. Sikorski should resign from the government. The policy pursued by Tusk and Sikorski is detrimental to Polish interests - he continued.
07:59
Regarding the Constitutional Tribunal:
Soon." Leśkiewicz Announces President's "Actions
- We will soon learn about this decision [the president's regarding the Constitutional Tribunal]. No, this is not an evasion. These actions concerning the CT will be soon... - said Rafał Leśkiewicz in the "First Interview of the Day" on TV Republika.
- First and foremost, we are dealing with significant doubts concerning the procedure for electing judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. Everyone will probably agree that judges of the most important tribunal are not elected in 48 hours. [...] If the Marshal of the Sejm announces a "competition" for CT judges on Monday at noon and sets a deadline of Wednesday, after which a very rapid vote takes place, and among the candidates indicated by the coalition's representatives, there is not a single constitutional lawyer - then this matter requires close examination - he continued.
- We will learn about Mr. President's actions soon. Soon. Soon means in a short while - stated the presidential spokesperson.
When pressed if these actions would be announced before the holidays, he avoided answering. - The President will inform about his actions, as he said, after returning from the United States. Yesterday afternoon, the President returned from the States.
- The President does not yield to any pressure. He is a very responsible person, therefore he will inform about these actions soon - he added.
07:49
Błaszczak:
Sikorski Fails to Build Polish-American Relations
- This is undoubtedly a challenge for Polish diplomacy, for those responsible for foreign policy - said Mariusz Błaszczak on Radio Republika, when asked about the changes in NATO announced by the American administration (e.g., linking voting rights to defense spending) and whether creating divisions within the alliance is very dangerous for Poland.
- Is Radosław Sikorski active in this matter? He is the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Can Sikorski build Polish-American relations? He cannot, he cannot, because his wife is involved in the political dispute in the United States - he continued.
- Sikorski's wife, Anne Applebaum, attacks President Trump very strongly, even radically. This negatively affects Polish-American relations. Thanks to the very good relations at the presidential level between President Duda and President Trump, the situation is not yet as serious as it could be if someone else were president [...] for example, Rafał Trzaskowski - he further stated.
07:46
Leśkiewicz:
Nawrocki at CPAC Also Spoke Unpopular Truths to Parts of the MAGA Movement
- Beyond the meeting itself with the leadership of Lockheed Martin, this large conservative conference, CPAC, is an extremely important event. Anyone who watched the President's speech will notice that the President also spoke things that were unpopular with parts of the MAGA movement that gathered at this conference, and that was very important - said Rafał Leśkiewicz in "First Conversation of the Day" on TV Republika.
07:44
Błaszczak on SAFE 0%:
We Support It, But There's No Chance of Implementation.
- The President, along with the Governor of the National Bank of Poland, presented an alternative. A very good alternative, the Polish SAFE 0% - said Mariusz Błaszczak on Radio Republika.
- This project, as it turns out, has been frozen by Czarzasty. What this is all about is the policy of making Poland dependent on decisions made outside our country's borders - he continued.
- We support the President's project, but this project, as can be seen, has no chance of implementation - he added.
07:41
Leśkiewicz:
Sikorski's envy is evident as he couldn't speak at CPAC last year, while the President did this year
- Minister Sikorski was also at CPAC last year. Unfortunately, he sat in the third row, and no one allowed him to speak on stage. This bitterness speaks through him… I think this is great envy from Minister Sikorski that he couldn't speak at CPAC last year, while this year the President of the Republic spoke at the largest conference bringing together American conservatives - said Rafał Leśkiewicz in "The First Conversation of the Day" on TV Republika.
07:38
Błaszczak:
VAT on Food Should Be Reduced to Zero to Ease the Burden on Polish Families
- When the Law and Justice party was in power, to protect the wallets of Polish families, we introduced a zero VAT rate on food. In '24, the VAT rate was raised, so now, precisely to ease the burden on Polish families, the VAT rate on food should be reduced to zero - said Mariusz Błaszczak on Radio Republika.
07:32
Błaszczak on Fuel Price Reductions:
This Change Should Have Been Introduced Much Earlier.
"This change should have been introduced much earlier, at least on Saturday, because on Friday the Senate adopted the bills [...] the President signed them, so why did the Tusk government delay the introduction of this change throughout the entire weekend," said Mariusz Błaszczak on Radio Republika, when asked about fuel price reductions.
"It's also the case that we exerted pressure on the government. The Law and Justice Parliamentary Club submitted a bill to reduce fuel taxes three weeks ago. Professor Czarnek announced it at a press conference, and this bill was stalled, frozen by Marshal Czarzasty, and on Saturday wholesale fuel prices were increased," he continued.
