Around 10:20 AM, a press conference will be held in Łowicz by Przemysław Czarnek, the Deputy Chairman of PiS and a candidate for Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk will participate in the inauguration of the government's "new economic philosophy" – "Local Content. Benefiting Poland." As reported by CIR, a package of solutions will be presented that aims to implement the plan for the repolonization of the economy, announced a year ago. The Prime Minister's address is scheduled for 11:00 AM.

At 12:30 PM, the swearing-in ceremony of the remaining four Constitutional Tribunal judges, elected by the Sejm but not invited to the Presidential Palace for their oath by President Karol Nawrocki, is scheduled to take place in the Sejm.

A press briefing is scheduled for 1:00 PM, attended by the Minister of Health, Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda, and the Deputy President of the National Health Fund (NFZ), Jakub Szulc. The topic will be the tender for selecting applications for co-financing support for the consolidation processes of healthcare entities.

At 1:30 PM, a debate will commence at SGH (Warsaw School of Economics) with the participation of the Mayor of Berlin, Kai Wegner, and the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski. The theme will be the social and infrastructural challenges facing European cities in terms of defense, security, and resilience to threats. The event will last an hour, with time allocated for questions from the audience.

Thursday also marks the second day of the Monetary Policy Council meeting. A press conference by the President of the National Bank of Poland (NBP), Adam Glapiński, on the assessment of the current economic situation in Poland, will be held at 3:00 PM.

Subsequently, at 4:30 PM, Deputy Chairman of PiS, Mateusz Morawiecki, will deliver a speech during the 14th edition of the British-Polish Investment Alliance conference. The address will focus on the strategic challenges facing the Polish economy in 2026.

Today – as announced by the government spokesperson – Minister of Education Barbara Nowacka is expected to announce a decision regarding the introduction of mandatory health education.

- Health education will be compulsory from September 1st. As planned, starting from the 4th grade in primary school and for two years in post-primary schools, depending on the school's choice. However, the subject will actually consist of two components: the subject of health education itself, and an optional subject, which will likely constitute 1/10 of the entire subject related to knowledge about sexual health. Parents will decide on this - stated Barbara Nowacka in "Rozmowa Piaseckiego" on TVN24.

- Is it a ceremony, or some kind of meeting... I don't know at all, it's hard to define this formula, because the Sejm's regulations do not provide for this type of action. I don't know if it will be sworn in before the Marshal. I don't think so, because I don't think the Marshal would take on the responsibility of a constitutional offense and apparently a crime under Article 231. So I assume that these judges will simply, and I don't know, announce themselves to the columns, walls, rooms, and people gathered there, or read the words contained in the law, but it will not be a swearing-in ceremony in the sense of the law on the status of Constitutional Tribunal judges - stated Zbigniew Bogucki in RMF FM.

- And what should happen in every democratic rule of law state, meaning if state bodies, individuals who are to hold public office, public officials, in the future, because they are not yet, in order to assume the function of a judge, an oath must be taken, they are not acting within the limits of the law and are acting without legal basis, and in essence that's what it will boil down to, then this act will be an invalid act. Of course, they won't be judges - he continued.

- I know nothing about it, I would probably know, because usually I'm the one who greets the President - Marek Siwiec said in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on the program "Gość Radia ZET," when asked if the President was heading to the Sejm today.

- The President was invited, normally protocol handles such matters, there have been no signals, hence the assumption that he's probably not going - he continued.

- These individuals, these 4, who have not yet taken the oath before the President of the Republic, their matter has not been closed by the president and by the Chancellery. I spoke very clearly here, this situation is being analyzed, in line with the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal, which means that one must weigh, on the one hand, serious flaws concerning the procedure of appointing these judges, i.e., a breach of the principle of individual appointment, which is formulated by Article 194 § 1 of the Constitution, the principle of protecting the term of office of the Constitutional Tribunal, the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, and all of this will be broken by the current parliamentary majority, and on the other hand, there is, of course, a certain value in the functioning of the Constitutional Tribunal, and therefore President Nawrocki appointed 2 judges so that the Constitutional Tribunal could function with 11 members - stated Zbigniew Bogucki on RMF FM.

"I know the scenario, but I don't know exactly how it will look" – Marek Siwiec said on Radio ZET when asked whether the judges' swearing-in would be before the Marshal of the Sejm or a notary.

"I think so, that there will be, because he is the host of the place" – he continued when asked if the Marshal of the Sejm would be present.

"This is obvious to me. If you asked in the reverse order, I am more certain that a notary will be present than the Marshal of the Sejm, because a notary is essential to certify, to attest to the fact that will take place" – he continued, when asked if a notary would be there.

"My statements on this matter are speculative, however, because [...] this is the judges' initiative, we are reacting to everything that the four judges who want to take this oath wish for" – he added.

"To my knowledge, former presidents of the Constitutional Tribunal have been invited" – he noted.

- If these individuals who have been elected take their oath in a different form, before someone else, in a different arrangement than that provided for by the law, that is, in the presence of the President of the Republic of Poland, at his invitation, then in my deep conviction, they will lose the quality of impeccable character, and in such a situation, the President will not only not want to, but will not be able to swear them in - stated Zbigniew Bogucki on RMF FM.

- To be honest? I have no idea - Marek Siwiec said on Radio ZET, when asked what would happen if the judges took their oath in the Sejm, and then the president invited them to take the oath before him, what the judges should do then.

- It's nowhere stated that you cannot take two oaths, I don't believe this will happen. The President has started a very inconsistent game [...] how can you accept an oath from two judges, choosing them on the basis of "I love this one, I like that one," and tell the other four, "gentlemen, thank you for now" - he continued.

- What do we have to reset? - Marek Siwiec said on Radio ZET, when asked about a constitutional reset.

- Then let's reset it, I wish you success. Let's now read the conditions, what is needed for this reset, and then I don't know, where a sacrifice needs to be made for anything to move in this matter, who should move in which direction - he continued, after the host's answer that it was the Constitution.

- Those who want to settle their interests speak the loudest about changing the Constitution - he continued.

- Until we agree on which direction we want to change, let's not start procedures that will lead us to a dead end - he added.

- Probably soon, I don't know the exact agenda of the next session, that will be decided shortly - said Marek Siwiec on Radio ZET, when asked when MPs will attempt to override the presidential veto on the cryptocurrency bill.

- It must happen, because we are witnessing another financial pyramid trembling at its foundations - he continued.

- I think so, I think it depends on where it is in the committee's work - he continued, when asked if the vote could be held next week.

- He's doing it out of desperation, desperation, he hasn't done this before. He wants to shake up the presidential center, which is blocking the state's ability to protect citizens - Marek Siwiec said on Radio ZET, when asked about Prime Minister Donald Tusk's revelation of information from the Internal Security Agency (ABW) concerning cryptocurrencies.

- A good PSL project has been created [...] this is that thought, let's call it, presidential, but all such constitutional blunders have been eliminated, i.e., attempts to usurp power - Marek Siwiec said on Radio ZET, when asked about SAFE 0%.

- Exactly one year ago, April 9, 2025, Rafał Trzaskowski proposed a pre-arranged debate in Końskie to Karol Nawrocki. The whole operation commenced. It was meant to showcase the strength of a media-political nexus, but instead, it revealed how deeply Rafał Trzaskowski and the elites live in their own bubble. Back then, their political hubris paved the way for another victory - wrote Paweł Szefernaker on social media.

- Today, we see precisely the same mechanism surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal: more demonstrations of power, more bypassing of institutional standards, and even less attention to the issues that Poles truly care about - stated the Head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland.

- The same style. The same hubris. The same lack of reflection. A government that only engages in political theatre always crashes into reality. And it always loses. Today, this parliamentary staging is no longer just a mistake – it is the beginning of their next defeat. Just like the memorable debate in Końskie - he added.

Równo rok temu, 9 kwietnia 2025, Rafał Trzaskowski zaproponował Karolowi Nawrockiemu z góry ustawioną debatę w Końskich. Ruszyła cała operacja. Miało być pokazanie siły medialno-politycznego układu, a wyszło, jak bardzo Rafał Trzaskowski i elity żyją we własnej bańce. Wtedy ich…

The Head of the Presidential Chancellery, Zbigniew Bogucki, has published a statement regarding four judges of the Constitutional Tribunal.

"On behalf of the President of the Republic of Poland, information has been repeatedly presented publicly that, concerning the other individuals elected by the Sejm to serve as judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, due to serious doubts about the correctness of the election procedure conducted by the Sejm, the matter requires further analysis and clarification from the perspective of the impact of these doubts on the effectiveness of the resolutions adopted." - we read in the statement.

"Referring [...] to the letters from individuals elected by the Sejm to the positions of Constitutional Tribunal judges, in which they indicate that they are inviting to a 'swearing-in ceremony' that was to take place on April 9th at 12:30 PM in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, it must be firmly stated that such an action as a way to assume the office of a Constitutional Tribunal judge has no legal basis," - stated the Head of the Presidential Chancellery.

"The law clearly provides that the oath is taken before the President of the Republic of Poland, and therefore cannot be replaced by a unilateral declaration by the elected person, even if made publicly, nor by an activity organized outside the participation and without the act of the proper authority, which is the President of the Republic of Poland," - he continued in the statement.

"Consequently, it must be accepted that initiatives involving the unilateral setting by individuals elected by the Sejm of the time and place for taking the oath do not produce legal effects foreseen by law. They can neither replace the act legally assigned to the President of the Republic of Poland, nor predetermine that the effective commencement of duties as a Constitutional Tribunal judge has occurred," - emphasized Zbigniew Bogucki.

"Obvious Violation of the Law"

"The President of the Republic of Poland unequivocally points out that any attempt by the indicated four individuals to proceed with the actions they have announced outside the procedure stipulated in the current legal provisions, particularly by bypassing the requirement to take an oath before the President of the Republic of Poland, would constitute an obvious violation of the Act of November 30, 2016, on the status of judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. It would also be an action directly aimed at depriving the constitutional state organ of the ability to exercise its statutorily defined competences, and thus at questioning the role granted by law to the President of the Republic of Poland in the procedure of assuming the office of a Constitutional Tribunal judge," - stated the Head of the Presidential Chancellery.

"Such conduct would directly and flagrantly violate the principle of legality expressed in Article 7 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, according to which public authorities act on the basis and within the limits of the law, the principle of a democratic state governed by the rule of law expressed in Article 2 of the Constitution, and the principle of the separation of powers defined in Article 10 of the fundamental law. No organ or person participating in the exercise of public functions may undertake actions that produce systemic effects without an explicit legal basis," - emphasized Zbigniew Bogucki.

"Furthermore, an action consisting of a conscious and ostentatious circumvention of the statutory procedure for taking the oath would undermine not only the statutorily defined procedure but also the foundations of the Polish state system. It would constitute a questioning of the competences assigned by law and the Constitution to the President of the Republic of Poland, who has been elected by the Nation and exercises his office, legitimizing himself with a direct democratic mandate arising from Articles 4 and 126 of the Constitution," - we read in the statement.

"The Role of the Sejm Ends with the Election"

"It should also be emphasized that the role of the Sejm in the process of selecting a person for the position of a Constitutional Tribunal judge ends with the election. The next stage foreseen by law is taking the oath before the President of the Republic of Poland. As unequivocally confirmed by the Constitutional Tribunal in its judgment of December 3, 2015, case number K 34/15, this action may – and in exceptional, constitutionally justified circumstances even must – be postponed if there is a need to clarify objective and legally relevant doubts," - stated the Head of the Presidential Chancellery.

"The President of the Republic of Poland unequivocally points out at the same time that if individuals elected by the Sejm to the office of Constitutional Tribunal judge undertake actions other than taking the oath before the President of the Republic of Poland, these actions will have to be assessed as a conscious and open violation of the law. Such conduct would undermine the quality of unimpeachable character, which is one of the fundamental prerequisites for holding the office of a Constitutional Tribunal judge," - announced Bogucki.

"One cannot accept a situation where a person aspiring to hold a judicial office demonstratively rejects the binding legal order and attempts to create their own procedure for assuming office, devoid of statutory basis. Consequently, a clear and conscious breach of the law by such persons would have to be taken into account in further assessment of the possibility of the President of the Republic of Poland receiving the oath from them," - we read in the statement.

"Such Actions Should Be Treated as a Refusal to Take the Oath"

"Moreover, such ostentatious and conscious actions contrary to the law should be treated as a refusal to take the oath in the manner provided for in Article 4(1) of the Act on the status of judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. The law does not provide for any alternative way of effectively taking the oath, and attempts to replace the statutory procedure with another form must be assessed as a refusal to submit to the existing law," - emphasized the Head of the Presidential Chancellery.

"Such a refusal results in the effect directly provided for in Article 4(2) of the aforementioned Act, according to which a refusal to take the oath is equivalent to renouncing the office of a Constitutional Tribunal judge," - he concluded.

Marek Siwiec was asked on Radio ZET about the statement by Zbigniew Bogucki, Head of the President's Chancellery, regarding four judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. The statement mentioned a planned oath-taking in the Sejm, asserting that "ostentatious and conscious actions contrary to the law should be treated as a refusal to take the oath in the manner provided for in Article 4(1) of the Act on the Status of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal" and that "refusal to take the oath is equivalent to resigning from the position of a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal".

- Of course, that's nonsense - said Marek Siwiec, responding to the host's statement: "The president is de facto saying: if the judges come to the Sejm, they will take the oath before a notary, they are resigning from their position as judges of the Constitutional Tribunal".

- Of course, if he wants to resolve the matter, let him invite these judges today. They will probably come, they will all be in Warsaw today, they should be invited - he continued.

- With the Civic Coalition, no, no, that's already impossible, we simply have different political sensibilities, different programmatic sensibilities - Marek Siwiec said on Radio ZET, when asked about polls in which The Left is "brushing against the electoral threshold" or is just below it, and whether this is the moment when The Left should consider a joint start with the Civic Coalition.

- Regarding this threshold, it's not that I'm calm, but I think we will manage to achieve a state where this idea of participation in a coalition translates into enough programmatic achievements for The Left that people will recognize "yes, this made sense" - he continued.

"It makes one furious to see what's happening in education. A year ago, as Polska 2050, we said: health education should be compulsory outside of the sex education module. What did the Ministry say to that? NO. Everything is supposed to be compulsory… after which Barbara Nowacka changed her mind and everything became voluntary." - wrote Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on X.

"After a year, the majority of students have opted out of health education, and the subject itself has unfortunately become a meme. And now the Ministry of Education is offering a solution that was on the table a year ago." - she continued in her post.

"Another important reform: a ban on smartphones in schools. And what? The same thing. Everyone sees the psychological devastation caused by youth addiction to screens. Many countries already protect students and have introduced such solutions. Meanwhile, our bill on this matter has been lying in the Sejm for half a year. The project is being frozen by Minister Nowacka's party colleague – Ms. Szumilas – in the Education Committee." - she stated.

"And the Ministry of Education? For months, it criticized our idea, only to change its mind. But the Minister of Education won't adopt a bill from another coalition partner, instead, they will start weeks of work on a new one. As a result, if the ban on smartphones in schools is implemented at all, it will be at the last minute (we have 2 months of the school year left), with no time for preparation for schools and teachers. This mode of operation truly makes no sense." - she added.

"So, perhaps this time it's worth doing things differently? To proceed cooperatively with the bill that is in the Sejm, regardless of whose project it is. To implement changes in schools in a timely manner. For the benefit of education, students, and parents. To preempt questions: yes, we tried to talk to Minister Nowacka behind closed doors. The Minister rejected the invitation to our Club in the Sejm." - she noted.

Szlag człowieka trafia, jak patrzy na to, co dzieje się w edukacji. Rok temu jako @PL_2050 mówiliśmy: edukacja zdrowotna powinna być obowiązkowa poza modułem edukacji seksualnej. Co na to mówiło Ministerstwo? NIE. Wszystko ma być obowiązkowe…po czym @barbaraanowacka zmieniła…

- This is, ladies and gentlemen, an unprecedented absurdity. The Minister of Health, instead of writing to the Minister of Finance [...] that she lacks money for necessary healthcare services [...] is instead writing about where she can save on these examinations, suggesting to the Minister of Finance herself what can be cut for patients - said Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference.

- This is unbelievable [...] Minister Sobierańska-Grenda is informing Mr. Domański that she can propose to Domański a reduction in financial resources for CT scans, here by 25%, for MRI scans, gastroscopy, or colonoscopy - he continued.

- Talking now about this farce they are putting on, having some coffee with Czarzasty at 12:30 PM and swearing allegiance to, I don't know, walls, to an institution they said didn't exist for years, is simply something that is suitable for, I apologize sincerely, we are in the health theme, for treatment - said Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference.

- Let's have no illusions. The geopolitical situation will not become more stable overnight than it is today. The issue of security will, one way or another, be a priority for this and future governments - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the inauguration of "Local Content. For Poland's Benefit".

- This also means that this security criterion, just as you have done, gentlemen, by deciding to cooperate between Enea and Apator, will be of key importance and it will also influence your decisions on where to buy and from whom to buy - he continued.

- Firstly, Polish, secondly, European [...] thirdly, friendly countries, third countries, outside the European Union, but with whom we cooperate closely, these are of course the United States, I will soon be in Japan and Korea, these are our Asian partners, this is Great Britain, Norway - he went on to say.

- But there is also a category of states towards which we must be cautious due to security, and we will be cautious, and this will also influence the way our companies and our state institutions operate - he added.

- Sometimes it will be necessary to choose a product that is perhaps a bit more expensive, but guarantees state security - he emphasized.

"The government does not have direct influence over local government decisions, but [...] we will effectively build a certain ranking, a certain system of scoring, evaluation, and these will be numbers, not our intuitions, but numbers, showing who implements the local content principle, and consequences will be drawn from this. Everyone must truly strive to respect this principle." - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the inauguration of "Local Content. To the Benefit of Poland".

"We will also maintain a ranking of local governments. That is, it cannot be the case that European funds, budgetary funds go to, for example, a local government, and the local government will not respect the idea of local content. Everything within the bounds of common sense, no one will be forced to spend money uneconomically or irrationally, but this common effort must indeed be common." - he continued.

"This idea of local content, re-Polonization, the conviction that what is Polish should come first, it becomes our common commitment from today." - he went on to say.

- It is not patriotism to yield to lobbyists, it is not patriotism to sell petrol stations to Orbán as happened a few years ago, yes, over 400 petrol stations, and in light of what we hear and see today, these petrol stations ended up with a company controlled by a politician, Putin's closest ally - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the inauguration of "Local Content. Benefitting Poland".

- I am only mentioning one example, a readily available one, of how important such wise, responsible, economic nationalism is. This is not my word, as you know, I do not use this word. I deeply believe in a European Poland and in a Polish Europe too [...] but when I speak of this economic nationalism, I have precisely these types of decisions in mind - he continued.

- We will not allow, and it can no longer happen in Poland, that what we do here in Poland, what we produce, what we want to buy, is influenced by external forces due to their interests. And it should no longer matter to anyone, be it strength or other types of relations with countries, especially those outside Europe. Our task is to promote Polish production. Period. - he went on to say.

- It is not patriotism, and he is not a patriot, for a politician to promote, I don't know, Chinese, German, or American production, against Polish interests, and this often happens. And we will definitively put an end to this - he added.

- On the Polish side, when we talk about Polish interests, there are no more suckers, I apologize for this blunt phrasing. There are people who will consistently and firmly look after the Polish interest - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the inauguration of "Local Content. Benefiting Poland".

- I know that Poland today is preoccupied with the matter of the Constitutional Tribunal. This is neither the place nor the time to discuss it, although on my way here, I heard something that pleased me, from former President Duda, who was not a fanatical defender of the Constitution, that in his opinion, the president has no room for maneuvering and must swear in the judges - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the inauguration of "Local Content. Benefitting Poland".

The head of government most likely referred to the words of Andrzej Duda, which were spoken during a conversation between the former president and Krzysztof Szczucki.

Andrzej Duda said: "The President is bound by a Sejm resolution, and it cannot be the case that the president swears in someone else, or only some of them."

- Today is the moment when we also expect the President to show that he treats Poland as a shared duty and shared responsibility, not as a battlefield - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the inauguration of "Local Content. For the benefit of Poland".

- I hope that this voice from Apator, from the people of entrepreneurship, will also reach all those in power. I will certainly try to respect what is in the interest of Polish companies and the Polish economy to the best of my ability - he continued.

In the Sejm, in the presence of Marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty and a notary, the oath-taking ceremony for the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal took place. The ceremony was attended by four judges whose oaths had not yet been accepted by the president, as well as two judges who had already taken their oaths at the Presidential Palace.

During the ceremony, it was emphasized that the oath is taken before the president, even though the head of state was not present in the Sejm.

- On March 13, 2026, the Sejm elected 6 judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. Acting on behalf of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, I will present the ladies and gentlemen judges with the resolutions of their election, which are an expression of the nation's will - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty.

"Karol Nawrocki fought like a lion for the interests of cryptocurrency firms, and then abdicated on the issue of the Constitutional Tribunal's renewal. It's looking worse and worse" - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X.

"If the President of the Republic of Poland is not personally present at an act, then the claim that the act is performed 'before the President of the Republic of Poland' is obviously false." - wrote Andrzej Duda on X.

"The Constitutional Tribunal currently has 11 judges. The President has not refused to accept the oath from the remaining ones; after all, he has not yet set a date, but looking at the law-breaking by the four candidates indicated by the Sejm, in my opinion, it is no longer possible to administer such an oath today. Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, to be judges, cannot break or circumvent the law." - wrote Marcin Przydacz on X.

Trybunał Konstytucyjny na dziś liczy 11 sędziów.

- Today, April 9th, in response to the initiative of elected judges of the Constitutional Tribunal [...] the oath before the president was taken. I consider the procedure concluded - Włodzimierz Czarzasty said at a press conference.

- The president and his chancellery are there to execute the law, not to interpret it. In the future, when such situations arise, they will be corrected and carried out in accordance with the law and proper procedures - he continued.

- For a month, the President's Chancellery prevaricated on these matters. For a month, they looked for legal loopholes and tried to provide legal interpretations. I've had enough. Therefore, I am very pleased that the President's Chancellery has taken a stance on this matter, the judges have taken their oath before the president, and have started working – Włodzimierz Czarzasty said at a press conference.

- If the President of the Constitutional Tribunal does not allow judges to function, we will make the right decisions. I believe you have no doubts today that we are capable of making decisions - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty at a press conference.

"Following today's farce organized in the Sejm before a notary, conducted without a legal basis and violating Articles 7, 2, 4, 10 sec. 1, and Articles 126 sec. 1 and 2 of the Constitution, there are still eleven judges of the Constitutional Tribunal and four anti-judges." - wrote Zbigniew Bogucki on X.

"It is worth noting that Donald Tusk, as usual in such situations, put forward others to participate in the parody." - he continued.

Po dzisiejszej farsie zorganizowanej w Sejmie wobec notariusza, przeprowadzonej bez podstawy prawnej z pogwałceniem art. 7, 2, 4, 10 ust. 1 oraz art. 126 ust. 1 i 2 Konstytucji, nadal jest jedenastu sędziów Trybunału Konstytucyjnego i czterech antysędziów.

- I naturally wanted to say [...] a few words about this event, which was grotesque on the one hand, a[n] attempt at something that is difficult to define, because it was obviously no swearing-in at all, and the claim that these pseudo-judges taking the oath were addressing the president only increased the scale of the grotesqueness of it all - Jarosław Kaczyński said at a press conference.

- But on the other hand, it is an extremely harmful phenomenon, because it is simply the destruction of the state, the destruction of the rule of law, trampling on it in an unprecedented way. And the fact that it's ridiculous is secondary here - he continued.

"The essence of what happened [the swearing-in of Constitutional Tribunal judges in the Sejm] is simply a complete rejection of the rule of law principles. And as for the consequences, it certainly does not have effects that lead to these gentlemen being able to rule" - Jarosław Kaczyński stated at a press conference.

- We are undoubtedly dealing here with an offense or even a series of offenses [...] of a criminal nature. And the fact that these offenses are taking place means that these gentlemen, who could have actually taken their oath before the president - because the president did not rule that out - will no longer be able to do so, because their credibility as judges of the Constitutional Tribunal has been reduced to zero - stated Jarosław Kaczyński at a press conference.

- It's hard for someone who commits, and particularly these kinds of crimes – in fact, any crime, but these kinds of crimes in particular – to be a judge of the Tribunal," Jarosław Kaczyński stated at a press conference.

- We are properly and effectively elected judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. In accordance with Article 194(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the exclusive competence to elect judges of the Constitutional Tribunal lies with the Sejm - stated Krystian Markiewicz during a press briefing with the participation of other judges of the Constitutional Tribunal elected by the Sejm.

- It is our duty to immediately commence performing our judicial duties. We are subject only to the Constitution. We are, according to the oath of office, to serve the nation faithfully, to uphold the Constitution, and to perform the duties entrusted to us impartially and with the utmost diligence - he continued.

- Enabling the pronouncement of this oath in a solemn form is the duty of the President of the Republic of Poland. Not towards us, but towards the nation - he pointed out.

- The President of the Republic of Poland acted this way only towards two of us. We have therefore decided to take the oath, to which we invited Mr. President. Our oath was directed to the President of the Republic of Poland. We are submitting our written oath of office to the President, thereby completing all the formalities necessary to assume office - he declared.

- Law must bring order to the situation in the country. We are assuming the offices of judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, ready to perform all tasks that lie before us, with respect for the Constitution and the citizens it is meant to protect - he concluded.

Six judges, after submitting a written oath of office at the Presidential Chancellery, have entered the headquarters of the Constitutional Tribunal.

- There is no provision that would allow the Marshal of the Sejm to administer oaths to individuals elected to the Constitutional Tribunal. Consequently, in our firm conviction, the law currently in force in Poland was violated today - said Mariusz Błaszczak at a press conference.

- Therefore, on behalf of the PiS parliamentary club, we are filing a notification regarding the justified suspicion of committing a crime - stated the head of the PiS club.

- We witnessed an act of undermining the dignity of the Polish state. Today, such an event took place in the Polish Sejm. In our opinion, the Marshal of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, the Sejm Chancellery, Marek Siwiec, and all those who participated in this event are responsible - he continued.

As he stated: - A violation of the provision defined in Article 231, paragraph 2 of the Penal Code has occurred - meaning those who participated in this event today, in our conviction, exceeded their authority in order to gain personal benefit, personal political gain.

- We came to the conclusion that there will be no agreement regarding the utilization of this unrealized surplus of gold value, resulting from price changes. It's evident that no political agreement on this matter is forthcoming. Therefore, we are continuing to purchase gold, and in particular, we could not miss such an opportunity as the fall in gold prices - stated Adam Glapiński at a press conference.

- Everything depends on the situation in the Middle East, but in the near future, I do not foresee any changes in interest rates. However, we will naturally make decisions by looking at facts and events. I hope that the current calming of the situation is a good sign that it will be maintained, even though Israel has rejected the ceasefire, at least in Lebanon, which somewhat reduces our optimism. But we hope the situation is already stabilized in some sense. So, from this point of view, there is no talk of an increase - stated Adam Glapiński at a press conference.

- I met with each of them individually. I informed each of them that, unfortunately, I cannot recognize that I have established an employment relationship with the Constitutional Tribunal, as I have not been informed by the President that they have taken an oath before the President of the Republic of Poland, and I must have such confirmation - stated Bogdan Święczkowski at a press briefing.

- The event that took place in the Sejm today, I cannot recognize as the taking of an oath before the President. Unless the President informs me that he considers such a meeting in the Sejm as the establishment of an oath before him. Otherwise, I cannot do this and I cannot recognize that they have established an employment relationship. In view of the above, I am unable to recognize that they can assume the duties of Constitutional Tribunal judges, I am unable to assign them cases, nor provide them with staff or offices - he continued.

- The President, in no way, recognizes what happened in the Sejm today as an oath, because it cannot be considered an oath; at best, it can be called a political farce, a grotesque - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- An oath should take place in the presence of the President of the Republic, meaning in the President's presence, just as the oath of two judges took place on April 1st here, in the Presidential Palace, in the presence of the head of state - he continued.

- The President accepted the oath from two judges [...] however, regarding the remaining judges, the President of the Republic or representatives of the Presidential Chancellery never stated that the oath would not be accepted, that this oath would not happen - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- I informed recently [...] that this matter is being analyzed. [...] These judges could have waited, they could have exercised patience - he continued.

- A motion will be filed by President Nawrocki to the Constitutional Tribunal to resolve the competence dispute between the President of the Republic and the Sejm, represented by the Marshal of the Sejm - said Zbigniew Bogucki at a press conference.

- I think that for the political sphere, [the Constitutional Tribunal war] has just ended. This is because all the things that were meant to be done, related to the appointment, the election of Constitutional Tribunal judges, and the swearing-in before the President, have been definitively concluded today. At this moment, judges, distinguished judges, are taking matters into their own hands, entering the Constitutional Tribunal, and ensuring that they will adjudicate together with other judges on the most important matters for Poland - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- I will soon announce a competition for the next judge, as the term is ending. We will soon elect the next judge, and there is no room for deliberation on this matter. And I will not allow myself to be drawn into any legal deliberations by PiS politicians or the Chancellery of the President - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach."

- I am not interested in what Mr. Bogucki says. From today, I am not interested in the stance of the Presidential Chancellery on this matter. The Presidential Chancellery is not there to interpret the law, and Mr. Bogucki is not a member of the Constitutional Tribunal - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- Until the Constitutional Tribunal has a 15-person composition, I am not interested in its rulings. Enough with the perversion of the law - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- I asked the President for a meeting on March 25th. It cost me a bit, but someone has to be the wisest on this matter, with a request for a meeting. I said - I am at your disposal in any matter. He didn't want to talk - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach".

- The PiS era and Nawrocki's time ruling over judges have ended. Let's give these people a chance to work, they will organize their tasks themselves - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- We will not debate with Mr. Święczkowski, whom we consider a person who was appointed to the position of the Constitutional Tribunal head illegally. We will not subsequently debate with the secretariat and the Chancellery of the President, which brazenly and deliberately led to such a situation. This situation has now been closed - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- The Prime Minister took a stance on this matter and said that I am remaining as the Health Minister. So nothing has changed in this regard - said Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- I think that consistently over these last eight months, we have indeed been making patient-centric changes, and we have a great deal of analysis and expert consultations in this regard. So, I believe that patients can feel cared for here. But, of course, the sector still requires many actions from us, and when I took office, at least, I had an agreement with the Prime Minister that I would do as much as possible for patients every single day - said Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

- I doubt [whether Bogdan Święczkowski will reach the end of his term as President of the Constitutional Tribunal]. Because I doubt. I am a doubting person. The mechanism concerning Mr. Święczkowski is quite simple. He has immunity that protects him within the Constitutional Tribunal. If there is a majority that decides this immunity and protection from it does not belong to him, it will be revoked. If it is revoked, the prosecution will deal with him. And if the prosecution brings charges, it will go to court. When the court takes up the matter, it will make a decision - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on TVN24's "Fakty po faktach" (Facts After Facts).

- Screening tests for colorectal cancer are entirely different from diagnostic tests. We are not touching screening tests. All tests funded by the National Health Fund (NFZ) for colorectal cancer prevention will be continued on the current terms - said Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

- Today we are discussing entirely different services, and I would like us to communicate the changes we are introducing to our patients in a very precise way. They do not concern screening tests, but diagnostic tests - she indicated.

- This year, we estimate that there will still be a shortfall of 18 billion [złoty]. Originally, it was 23 billion, but we have allocated funds from the Minister of Health's reserve - 4 billion złoty - to cover services that were performed in 2025 - said Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń" (Guest of Events).

- I am pleased with today, because today we managed to announce a competition for financial support for consolidation and reorganization activities in hospitals with an amount exceeding one billion zlotys. I am very hopeful that this will be a significant support for hospital directors and owners in adapting hospitals to meet today's challenges - said Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- [Consolidation] is not liquidation. It is worth looking at examples that exist in Poland. […] I have visited consolidated hospitals in Toruń, and I have also been to hospitals in Lower Silesia. I am aware of the consolidation of the hospital in Gliwice. There are many cases in Poland that demonstrate consolidation, showing that we can then organize more efficient patient care through care coordination. We can also utilize medical staff within a larger entity that manages several hospitals - she continued.

- So for me, consolidation means an improvement in the quality of treatment, it means opportunities for patients. We truly no longer need to speculate today, because we have concrete examples in the country - she added.

- The hospital in Lesko is famous. Employees there received 75% of their salaries for February. The facility has a debt of 128 million PLN. Will it be liquidated? - asked Grzegorz Kępka in “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- I think, Mr. Editor, that it is worth asking the owner of the hospital what the causes of such a situation are, and these are definitely questions for the owner - replied Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda.

- First and foremost, I would like healthcare contributions to be similarly solidarity-based. I believe that the analyses and proposals being put forward, indicating we have privileged groups, certainly show we need more funds for healthcare. For two years now, we have seen that this contribution-based financing method is insufficient - said Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- We are talking about farmers, about professional groups that don't pay at all, right? Would you change this? - Grzegorz Kępka inquired.

- I think it's time for an open discussion on this matter. I am glad that various proposals are emerging in this regard. I believe that as a society, we are ready for such a conversation - replied the Minister of Health.
