Ozdoba on Ziobro:
He is enjoying the freedoms of the United States.
- [Zbigniew Ziobro is] in the United States, the world's largest democracy. The minister has already confirmed his presence, that he is enjoying the freedoms of the United States across the ocean, and I understand he is awaiting an extradition request from the Polish state - said Jacek Ozdoba in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
When pressed on his exact location, he replied: - I cannot say too much about that, but the minister does indeed confirm it is the USA. I don't want to sound like a scene from "Kiler": I know, but I won't tell.
- I don't know, I don't have information. The last time I spoke with the minister was right after the elections in Hungary, so I won't mislead you here. I don't have such information. I can say one thing, that the matter itself is really very overblown. It is a political act - he stated.
08:05
Czarzasty on Whether Poland Should Demand Ziobro's Extradition from the USA:
Yes.
- Yes [Poland should demand Zbigniew Ziobro's extradition from the USA]. I don't really believe that the USA, our closest friend, according to President Nawrocki for example, the very closest, won't help us in recovering a person who will face charges punishable by up to 25 years in prison - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Radio Zet.
08:06
Ozdoba:
The justice system is manually controlled; Ziobro cannot pursue truth in Poland, but he can in America
- I already know what the verdict will be for Zbigniew Ziobro. Nobody has any doubt today that the justice system is so seriously manually controlled that Zbigniew Ziobro cannot genuinely pursue the truth in Poland, but he will be able to in America - said Jacek Ozdoba on Polsat News's "Graffiti" program.
08:08
Czarzasty:
We have interests in the USA, the USA has interests in us. All of this must be balanced
- We need to reconsider something, like how it is with this friendship [with the USA]. I believe it is genuine. I believe we should court the USA. But we have interests in the USA, and the USA has interests in us. All of this must be balanced, and NATO and a long-standing friendship obligate us much more than defending a potential bandit and thief who faces 25 years in prison - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Radio Zet.
08:11
Czarzasty on the Potential Lack of Extradition for Ziobro:
We Will Have to Rethink Policy Regarding Various Decisions.
- If the American authorities, our closest friend, do not extradite Mr. Ziobro, it will turn out that the assessments I have had regarding US leadership will once again be partially confirmed, and we, as the Polish state, will have to rethink our policy towards various decisions that we are to make jointly with the USA - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Radio Zet.
08:13
Ozdoba:
A Sheriff Needs Solid Ground to Fight Appropriately. I Believe American Ground is the Best Place.
- In a normally functioning rule of law state, it's the sheriff who pursues, not the sheriff who is pursued - said Jacek Ozdoba on Polsat News' "Graffiti".
- But that sheriff usually doesn't run away in movies either - noted Marcin Fijołek.
- But you know perfectly well that a sheriff needs to have solid ground to fight appropriately, and I believe American ground is the best place for that - replied the PiS MEP.
08:15
Ozdoba on Ziobro's Extradition from the USA:
Poland Will Be Knocked Off Its Feet.
- If, for example, an extradition request is indeed made under U.S. law, then I believe that such a demonstration, and not even the core of the Justice Fund case, but what has happened around it regarding the justice system, is so devastating that I think the Polish state will truly be knocked off its feet here. Unfortunately, because we are talking about international disgrace - said Jacek Ozdoba in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.
08:17
Czarzasty:
Zbigniew Ziobro's Arrest in the USA Does Not Help Build Trust
- "Certainly, Zbigniew Ziobro's arrest in the USA by the USA does not help build trust, build friendships, or play together on the same side," stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Radio Zet.
08:25
Czarzasty:
Zawisza was offered the position of Minister of Health
- Marcelina Zawisza, whom I value and respect greatly, was offered the position of Minister of Health. It seems that my friends from the Together party did not want to take responsibility at that time. It's easy to criticize, especially when you have 3 MPs, it's harder to take responsibility and to be rightly criticized for that responsibility - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Radio Zet.
08:27
Czarzasty:
Polish Left's Potential is at 20%
- My dream is a joint list with the Labour Union, PPS, trade unions, because I cooperate with them daily, with NGOs, with the Together party, with Mrs. Senyszyn's movement and the entire Left, because I believe that the potential of the Polish left at this moment is at the level of 20% - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Radio Zet.
08:28
Czarzasty on the Civil Partnerships Bill:
I Hope the Sejm Will Pass It to the Senate in June.
- Civil partnerships will be in the Sejm in May, and in June I hope the Sejm will pass it to the Senate - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Radio Zet.
08:29
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz Opposes Government Reconstruction:
Let's Get to Work, Not Personal Reshuffles.
- I believe that now is the time for work, because if we get into personnel matters within the coalition again, instead of working, another personal soap opera will begin, and that's not what we need today - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM, when asked if she would like changes in the government.
- Absolutely, let's get to work, not personal reshuffles - she continued, when asked if she wouldn't undertake a reconstruction at this stage.
- I heard in a larger group that these rumors about ministerial changes, specifically three female ministers here, are absolutely unfounded, the Prime Minister said so - she added, when asked if the Prime Minister wants a reconstruction before the holidays.
08:31
Czarzasty on the US Ambassador:
He should rethink his words, which I kindly recommend.
- The era of Czarzasty, the arrogant and boorish individual, ended 20 years ago. The [US] Ambassador, given that we are in NATO, and the United States, his country, is a major, the largest, power in NATO, and in view of the fact that we are allies, should rethink his words, which I kindly and sympathetically recommend, because thinking is not a bad trait - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Radio Zet.
08:35
Inspections at Three State Treasury Companies:
Where is the Money of Poles?"Czarnek Announces PiS MPs
- Today, parliamentary inspections by PiS MPs are entering three companies – and these are strategic State Treasury companies. Anna Gembicka and Michał Kowalski are heading to Orlen. Marek Wesoły and Grzegorz Matusiak are going to Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa, and Michał Moskal and Grzegorz Woźniak are going to Grupa Azoty – stated Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference in front of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
- We are talking about three strategic State Treasury companies, also responsible for security and operating in the security sector, which incurred record losses in the fourth quarter of 2025. Orlen – a net loss of PLN 5.5 billion, which is Orlen's all-time record quarterly loss. The second worst result in this regard was also at Orlen, also under the PO government in 2014. […] JSW – a loss of PLN 3.4 billion […] and Grupa Azoty – a loss of PLN 4.2 billion – he continued.
- In these three companies, in a moment, PiS MPs will appear, asking the management boards where the money of Poles is – he indicated.
08:35
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:
I Fear the US Won't Extradite Ziobro
- They should, but I fear they won't - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on RMF FM when asked "if the United States will extradite Zbigniew Ziobro to us."
- Much indicates that, similar to the Orbán case, this matter is being treated politically, and for some reason, there seems to be, I repeat, 'seems to be,' because we don't have formal confirmation, so I'm still qualifying everything with 'seems,' a political umbrella being extended, entirely unjustly, over Ziobro in the United States - she continued.
- He wouldn't have ended up there otherwise. He wouldn't have gotten a visa - she added.
08:41
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:
There's a Question Mark Over What Happened That There's No European Arrest Warrant for Ziobro
- There is, of course, a question mark here as to what exactly happened that we are already in the advanced third year since the elections and there is no European arrest warrant for Ziobro. I would very much wish for there to be one - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on RMF FM.
- I don't have bloodthirsty reckoning tendencies [...] but certain reckonings towards people who, with the naked eye, you can see, forgive me for saying, have stolen, should happen - she continued.
- The question here is how the prosecution system works in Poland today, to what extent it is controlled, to what extent it is not controlled, I am talking about the prosecution [...] and whether everything has been seen to at all stages - she went on, when asked if "Waldemar Żurek simply failed."
08:44
Czarzasty on the need to allocate funds to other sectors:
Poland's security isn't just about tanks.
- We really need to think, we need to remember that funds are needed for healthcare in Poland. That Poland's security isn't just about tanks, that we need to think about the social security of Poland, of Polish women and men, the health security of Polish women and men. And I think that if we currently have PLN 200 billion from the budget for this year allocated to armaments, PLN 184 billion from SAFE, and we have some ideas, the government and the coalition will have ideas regarding SAFE, when profits eventually appear, then I think we need to state clearly and firmly – it's time to think about allocating financial resources to sectors other than armaments as well - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on Radio Zet.
08:46
Czarnek Asked About Ziobro:
An Absolutely Third-Rate Issue.
- It bothers me that fruit growers who have suffered 100% losses in their orchards in Lubelszczyzna or the Grójec area still have no concrete plans regarding potential aid that they need. These are Polish families, Polish farmers, Polish fruit growers, who have no specifics - said Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference in front of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, when asked if he was not bothered by Ziobro's escape to the USA after the election results in Hungary.
- It bothers me that the owner of Bogdanka, which is Enea, is informing trade unions that it plans to lay off up to 4,000 out of 5,000 employees within a few years. These are real problems of Poles. It bothers me that an MRI machine purchased with the Justice Fund at the hospital in Puławy, instead of performing 800-900 MRI scans per month, only performs 100, because the Minister of Health and Tusk have reduced funding for district hospitals for such procedures. This bothers me the most - he continued.
- And the matter of Mr. Zbigniew Ziobro is an absolutely third-rate issue - he added.
08:48
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Morawiecki:
Fighting for Leadership within PiS.
- As of today, in my opinion, former Prime Minister Morawiecki is not leaving PiS at all; I have the impression that he is, in fact, fighting for leadership within PiS – Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on RMF FM, responding to a listener's question about whether Poland 2050 would consider cooperation with Mateusz Morawiecki if he decided to leave PiS.
- I am clearly stating that I have not discussed this matter with Mateusz Morawiecki; from my perspective, he is currently vying for leadership within PiS – she continued, when asked about the theory that a new political project was being prepared by PSL, Poland 2050, and Morawiecki.
08:54
Czarnek:
Ziobro Traveled Legally to the USA. Why Are You Talking About an Escape?
- In my opinion, Minister Ziobro traveled legally to the United States. Why are you talking about an escape? - said Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference in front of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
- I am showing you the situation in Poland: the collapse of State Treasury companies, hitting rock bottom, billions in losses. People being laid off, rising unemployment, lack of funds for healthcare, a state that is increasing its debt on an unprecedented scale, which poses a danger to every Pole. And you are asking me why Minister Ziobro went to the United States? - he continued.
- Because he went. He entered the States legally, like many Poles. I was also legally in the United States last week - he concluded.
08:55
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Szpytma's Candidacy for IPN President:
No Coalition Agreements.
- We decided that there will be no discipline here. There are no coalition agreements on this matter [...] we are leaving the decision to our MPs according to their discretion, because this decision is not unambiguous - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on RMF FM, when asked about Mateusz Szpytma's candidacy for the president of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN).
- I personally probably would not support him [...] however, he is not an unequivocally bad candidate - she continued.
08:59
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:
Every time Poland 2050 takes an assertive path, leaks from the prosecutor's office emerge
- Every time Poland 2050 takes some assertive, independent path based on our beliefs and values, leaks from the prosecutor's office appear. This has happened for the third or fourth time already, and it has happened again now - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on RMF FM.
09:11
Czarnek to Journalists Questioning Ziobro:
Are You Doing This of Your Own Free Will, or Were You Told To?
At Przemysław Czarnek's press conference outside the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, journalists pressed him about Ziobro's trip to the United States. The PiS candidate for prime minister briefly addressed the matter, focusing on “the real problems of Poles.”
He stated, among other things, that Ziobro's matter is “absolutely third-rate”…
…and that Ziobro legally traveled to the USA.
Meanwhile, he also clashed with journalists. – You seem a bit nervous. Are you from Radio ZET? Which news outlet are you from? TVN24? Is TVN24 now supporting Radio ZET, because what, because it's not going well? Are you doing this of your own free will, or were you told to? – he asked.
09:34
- I was present at every conversation between President Karol Nawrocki and President Trump, and I did not hear any discussions on this matter - said Marcin Przydacz in an interview with Robert Mazurek on Kanał Zero, when asked if "the President's Office somehow helped Ziobro in obtaining asylum in the United States".
09:41
Przydacz on Żurek:
Olsen Gangster.
- I don't think this whole [Ziobro's] affair is positively reflecting on the assessments of the judiciary and the prosecution in Poland either - said Marcin Przydacz on Kanał Zero.
- Even voters of Civic Platform [...] were really counting on Minister Żurek [...] to get to work and start delivering. It turns out that he's not just a political gangster, but rather a gangster from the Olsen Gang - he continued.
09:46
Przydacz on Grodecki's Criticism in Right-Wing Media:
Perhaps He Fell Victim to Some Internal Emotion.
"Perhaps Minister Grodecki here fell victim to some internal emotion of that editorial team [TV Republika]. Everyone has the right to their opinion, but I will defend him here. I believe that Minister Grodecki is absolutely prepared, both substantively, politically, and morally, ready to hold such an important office" – Marcin Przydacz said on Kanał Zero, when asked about critical remarks concerning Bartosz Grodecki in right-wing media.
09:55
Przydacz on Siewiera:
One of Those Misjudged Nominations When It Comes to BBN Personnel.
"There have been nominations in previous administrations that, as it turned out, ultimately didn't have much in common with the political line of both the President and the broadly understood patriotic camp," Marcin Przydacz said on Kanał Zero.
"You are already pointing to that name, but yes, there are indeed such misjudged nominations by President Andrzej Duda. I think President Andrzej Duda is aware of this, and this is certainly one of those, I would say, misjudged nominations when it comes to the personnel occupying the National Security Bureau at that time," he continued, after the host indicated he was referring to Jacek Siewiera.
10:08
- The President has presented an alternative, SAFE 0%, even Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, the Minister of National Defence, is today himself proposing the SAFE 0% project, which he already calls the PSL's project, but it is essentially 100%, 95% identical to the President's project - said Marcin Przydacz on Kanał Zero.
- Even the PSL sees that this money is available, it can be taken without loans, without returning the Commission's conditionality - he continued.
10:11
Schetyna:
I am astonished there is no EAW against Ziobro
- I am astonished that there is no European Arrest Warrant [against Zbigniew Ziobro]. It is strange that in the case of Romanowski, these are very similar, essentially identical cases. In one instance, it happens, in the other, it does not. This is a question for the court, why it approaches this matter with such sluggishness - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in a conversation with TVN24.
10:20
- The President submitted his bill, which regulates this market [of cryptocurrencies] in an appropriate manner, and he hopes that his project will be processed and then, of course, he will definitely sign the law - said Marcin Przydacz on Kanale Zero.
- Are they vetoing presidential projects again? How much more can we take? Another project is being frozen, another project is not being processed - he continued, after the host pointed out that the presidential project would not be processed, as the coalition had decided.
10:25
Przydacz on Drawing US Troops to Poland:
If Tusk Doesn't Hinder Us, There's a Very High Chance of Convincing Americans.
"We should persuade Donald Trump to deploy as many American troops as possible to Poland as a deterrent to Russia. Whether they come from Germany or another direction is an American decision" - Marcin Przydacz said on Kanał Zero.
"If they are going to take them from Germany anyway and relocate them back to the United States, then of course it's better for them to be on the Eastern flank. However, in our general interest, it's to have as many Americans in Europe as possible. I am not in favor of them leaving Germany and returning to the States, but if they are already going to leave from there, then it's better for them to come to us" - he continued.
"I believe that if Donald Tusk doesn't hinder us, there's a very high chance of convincing the Americans" - he added.
"We need to try to convince the Americans. I have the impression that Donald Tusk has limited abilities to convince Americans, he also has limited agency and, looking at him, a limited desire" - he concluded.
11:30
Nawrocki Presented Judicial Appointments:
You are not obligated...
- It is not by chance that the eagle in the crown will be on your hearts. You are not obligated to anything that goes beyond the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. You are not obligated to tutors, opinions, analysts, or experts who forcefully want to undermine or review the Polish state's system. Poland is and will remain in the EU, this will not change, however, the accession treaty of Poland to the EU clearly stated – the systemic order, Polish judiciary are matters for Polish women and men, who elect their democratic authorities and are bound by the highest act of the Republic of Poland, i.e., the Constitution of the Republic of Poland - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the presentation of judicial appointments.
11:32
Nawrocki to New Judges:
I Ask That the Constitution Be the Most Important Point of Reference.
- As the President of Poland, I will serve it [the Constitution] and be its guardian until the end of my term, or the end of the 1997 Constitution, and I also ask you that this fundamental act, the 1997 Constitution, be the most important point of reference. Then everything will be in order in the Polish state - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the presentation of judicial nominations.
11:36
Nawrocki to New Judges:
There will be no Minister Żurek, Prime Minister Tusk, President Nawrocki, but you will continue to issue your judgments in the name of the Republic of Poland.
- There will be no Minister Żurek, there will be no Prime Minister Tusk, there will be no President Nawrocki, but you will continue to issue your judgments and decisions in the name of the Republic of Poland. I want you to have a deep conviction that the solemnity of your office extends far beyond political disputes in Poland, beyond electoral cycles, both parliamentary and presidential. That is why I am so pleased that today I have appointed, nominated judges who have a profound awareness of the symbolism, who will wear it on their chests and will make their decisions in the name of truth, justice, and all your judgments will be independent, and I ask this of you with all my heart - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the awarding of judicial nominations.
11:39
Nawrocki:
Poland Today Needs Independent Judges Attached to the Symbols of the Republic of Poland
- Today, Poland needs independent judges attached to the symbols of the Republic of Poland. Citizens across Poland, in all Polish municipalities, counties, cities, and villages, are waiting for you to make good decisions, always with our beloved homeland in mind - stated President Karol Nawrocki during the presentation of judicial nominations.
12:03
- All indications are that the suspect Zbigniew Ziobro has decided to continue his evasion of Polish justice, and it is with no satisfaction that we must state that the prosecution, the prosecutors, were right from the beginning in this matter - stated Prosecutor Przemysław Nowak at a press conference.
- They were right in asserting that pre-trial detention of this suspect was necessary, that an immediate, prompt implementation of international searches was necessary - he indicated.
12:04
- Zbigniew Ziobro is not an internationally wanted person. He was not wanted yesterday, nor is he wanted today. He could freely travel in European Union countries where a Polish passport is not required. And this is the most important fact to consider when evaluating further actions - admitted Prosecutor Przemysław Nowak at a press conference.
- Of course, in such a situation, one must ask: why has Zbigniew Ziobro not been internationally wanted to this day, despite the fact that the prosecution has done everything for months to initiate such international searches for Zbigniew Ziobro? - he stated.
- On February 10th […] the prosecutor filed a request with the court for the issuance of a European Arrest Warrant against Zbigniew Ziobro. […] I remind you that many months earlier, the prosecutor did everything possible in Poland to limit the suspect's ability to travel abroad, thereby, as a result of initiating the procedure, leading to the cancellation of his passports - he continued.
- The prosecutor's request for the issuance of the EAW has not been processed to this day - and this is the reason why Zbigniew Ziobro is not internationally wanted. The second reason is that the defense attorneys' appeal against the application of temporary detention has not been processed to this day - emphasized the spokesperson for the National Prosecutor's Office.
12:18
- Ex officio, investigative actions have been initiated to determine if there is suspicion of other individuals committing a crime by facilitating the suspect's avoidance of criminal responsibility, broadly speaking, including escape. For now, we are primarily relying on media reports in this regard, but they are sufficient to undertake certain verification and ascertainments in this matter - stated prosecutor Przemysław Nowak at a press conference.
- For now, these are actions carried out within the scope of the proceedings concerning the Fund for the Disadvantaged. It cannot be ruled out that this will be a separate investigation under a different case number - he stated.
12:19
- Today, a request will also be sent to the United States Embassy asking for information on whether Marcin Romanowski and Zbigniew Ziobro were issued visas. If so, when, on what basis, and what type of visas - announced Prosecutor Przemysław Nowak at a press conference.
- And the second question: have these individuals crossed the borders of the United States. If so, where are they? - he indicated.
12:27
- If the suspect were indeed in the United States, the only avenue remaining would not be a red notice, but rather bilateral cooperation based on treaties, including extradition treaties - said prosecutor Przemysław Nowak at a press conference.
12:36
- We have a bilateral agreement [on extradition] between the United States and Poland, last amended in 2006. The party representing Poland in this agreement was Zbigniew Ziobro - said Prosecutor Przemysław Nowak at a press conference.
12:53
- Zbigniew Ziobro has not had a passport for many months. So one thing is certain – Zbigniew Ziobro definitely did not get into the United States under general rules – said prosecutor Przemysław Nowak at a press conference.
- To be completely honest – we do not know the technical and logistical details concerning his trip, also for the reason that [...] Zbigniew Ziobro was not internationally sought – he indicated.
- We are trying to determine on what basis he entered the States. It is precisely for this purpose, among others, that a letter will be written to the US embassy today, and we will also ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help here – he announced.
13:55
Kosiniak-Kamysz:
I Expect Ziobro to be Removed from PiS
- Polish-American relations are very good; this is our foundation for building security, and we are investing heavily in it. Of course, in the context of Zbigniew Ziobro's case, we have our expectations and we have the right to expect cooperation from the American side if there is an extradition request for its realization - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz at a press conference.
- Although Mr. Ziobro's case is primarily an embarrassment for PiS, because they said they were so brave, united, ready to take responsibility for their decisions [...] that they were not afraid of anything, and they went to subsequent elections under the banner of Law and Justice, claiming that observing law and justice were absolutely sacred to them, this flight to Hungary, this departure now best shows where they stand on law, where they stand on justice, and where they stand on responsibility - he continued.
- This is an example that could represent the behavior of the entire milieu, what would happen if there were a serious threat to Poland. When there is a serious accusation against one of them, he flees, one, then another. If there were a serious threat to Poland, I think they would all flee - he went on to say.
- I expect a different course of action here, not an international one. The removal of Mr. Ziobro from PiS would be an act showing that they do not accept the lack of responsibility, the lack of answers to questions, the lack of accountability to Poles - he added.
14:45
Morawiecki:
They've Brought Healthcare to Such a State That Even "Gazeta Wyborcza" Has Noticed
- They've brought healthcare to such a state that even "Gazeta Wyborcza" has noticed. Private networks are offering Poles credit for health because there are no appointments with the National Health Fund, and the Minister of Health appears on television with a serious face and says [that things are better]. That's all that's left of Tusk's promises. It's time to truly end this scandal. We will do it and fix healthcare - stated Mateusz Morawiecki in a recording published on social media.

Czarzasty After the Polish-Spanish Parliamentary Forum:
Without a Strong EU, Our Nations Mean Little Individually.
- The European Union is something that unites us. We know well that without a strong European Union, an expanded, strong European Union, our nations individually mean little. These are strong nations, but it is always better to join forces within Europe, because when the European Union acts as one force, both the United States, Russia, China, India, and all people who look at the European Union take us seriously - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in a statement after the conclusion of the Polish-Spanish Parliamentary Forum.
15:16
Czarzasty on the Approach to Migration:
Poland Could Learn a Great Deal from Spain.
- We discussed the issue of migration and, to be honest, Poland could learn a great deal from Spain in this regard. Thank you for that - said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in a statement after the conclusion of the Polish-Spanish Parliamentary Forum.
- Imagine a country that accepts half a million migrants and treats these people as an opportunity, not a threat. That it can lead to a situation where, as a result, both the budget revenue and the country's development are greater than without them. This is wise policy - he continued.
15:19
Czarzasty:
A Free Poland, Spain, and EU Are Impossible Without an Independent Ukraine
- This is a common policy [...] of both Poland and Spain and the European Union. We know, we knew this, but today it has been confirmed, Spain treats Ukraine the same as we do - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty in a statement following the conclusion of the Polish-Spanish Parliamentary Forum.
- There is no free European Union, no independent European Union, no free Poland, and no Spain, which is after all several thousand kilometers away from us, without a free, independent Ukraine - he continued.
16:13
President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the act on the coordination of anti-corruption activities and the abolition of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, as well as the amendment concerning the shaping of the agricultural system.

The draft bill on the crypto-asset market, for which (former PiS MP) Janusz Kowalski was the representative of the applicants, was withdrawn by the party on Monday.
On the same day, the parliamentary club submitted a new draft. Its aim, as the authors write, is to “introduce a complete exclusion of the possibility of conducting activities related to crypto-assets within the territory of the Republic of Poland and to establish a special protective regime for entities conducting such activities.”
“The legal consequence will be the possibility of immediately restricting access to financial resources and infrastructure used by entities conducting activities related to crypto-assets. The draft introduces a new type of prohibited act consisting of conducting activities related to crypto-assets (proposed criminal liability including imprisonment from 6 months to 8 years, in cases of high value assets – from one year to 10 years imprisonment)” – we read. Zbigniew Kuźmiuk became the representative of the applicants.
The project is a realization of Jarosław Kaczyński's words. The PiS leader has declared several times that he personally is in favor of banning such activities.
Sławomir Mentzen, leader of Nowa Nadzieja (New Hope), commented on the matter. “PiS has just submitted a bill to the Sejm banning the conduct of business activities related to cryptocurrencies XD” – he commented.
PiS właśnie złożył do Sejmu ustawę zakazującą prowadzenia działalności w zakresie kryptowalut XD

Kosiniak-Kamysz:
Poland's Complaint Against Mercosur Agreement Filed with ECJ
"We've done it! Poland's complaint against the Mercosur agreement has been filed with the ECJ in Brussels. Furthermore, at the request of PSL, we have submitted a motion to suspend the agreement's validity. We keep our word! We are defending Polish farmers and consumers. We are defending healthy Polish food!" - wrote Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on X.
Mamy to! Do TSUE w Brukseli wpłynęła skarga Polski na umowę Mercosur. Ponadto na wniosek @nowePSL złożyliśmy wniosek o zawieszenie obowiązywania umowy.

Dotrzymujemy słowa! Bronimy polskiego rolnika i konsumenta. Bronimy polskiej, zdrowej żywności! 🇵🇱

Buk:
The Entire EU Should Exit ETS or Effectively Correct It
- I believe that the entire EU should exit the ETS. We are economically strong together, or it should be effectively corrected, not just by giving away free allowances, but by ensuring that the ETS is not 10 times higher in Europe than in China, or 2 times higher in Europe than in the USA. We cannot allow this - stated Wanda Buk in an interview with Ewa Bugała on TV Republika.

Bosak:
I Wouldn't Be Surprised If Ziobro Leaves the US and Moves to Another Country. My Bet is on Chile
- I wouldn't be surprised if [Zbigniew Ziobro] leaves the United States and moves to yet another country - Krzysztof Bosak said in "24 pytania" on PR24.
When asked which country he was betting on, he replied: - Chile.
17:57
Bosak on Ziobro's Entry into the USA:
Such Things Don't Happen By Accident.
- If [Zbigniew Ziobro] was allowed in [to the USA], it wasn't by accident, so the [extradition] requests will probably remain unfulfilled - said Krzysztof Bosak in "24 pytania" on PR24.
- Such things don't happen by accident, and ambassadors or heads of the State Department don't always say publicly what they actually do - he stated.
18:05
Bosak on Romanowski and Ziobro:
What These Politicians Are Doing is Completely Unserious. The Workplace of Polish Politicians is Poland.
- I believe that the workplace of Polish politicians is Poland. We have had times in history much worse than the present. People returned to the country, worked here, sometimes risking their health and lives, precisely to work politically in their homeland - said Krzysztof Bosak in “24 questions” on PR24.
- For me, what these politicians are doing is completely unserious. However, this is not my party, these are not my affairs. We created Confederation precisely to conduct politics seriously, not to first commit some abuses and scandals, and then flee abroad - he stated.
18:13
- I believe that this entire situation with the attempt to arrest them is absurd. I believe that politicians should be granted bail until they are convicted, and once convicted, they should serve their prison sentences. But until they are convicted, they should be granted bail - said Krzysztof Bosak in "24 questions" on PR24.
- These are not, I don't know, criminals who would go and, because they are not in custody, beat or kill someone a few days later. Combating white-collar crime has its specifics, and these specifics include, among other things, the need to secure documents properly, but it is not necessary to force the taxpayer to pay for these gentlemen's stay in custody, or to force the services to hunt them down all over the world, because it simply makes no sense - he stated.
- If they do not return to the country, their political careers are over, and that is also the greatest punishment for them, because they have found fulfillment in politics in a certain way over the past few years - he added.
18:21
Bosak:
Mentzen and I Have Disagreed Many Times, But We Have Good Relations
- We have disagreed [with Sławomir Mentzen] many times, we have debated with each other both publicly and privately, so this is not the first time. This is also not the first time between the leaders of Konfederacja. In the past, there have been many situations where we differed on various matters – said Krzysztof Bosak in "24 questions" on PR24.
- Konfederacja differs from other parties in that there is a lot of room for internal discussion, and there is no obligation to agree with each other on all assessments in order to work together – he stated.
- So, the relations are good, the relations are partnership-based. We lead Konfederacja together, we coordinate its political work, we coordinate its strategy. We are leading Konfederacja together towards growth in the polls – he indicated.
18:24
Bosak:
Konfederacja is in Great Shape
- Konfederacja is in great shape. The activists are motivated in both parties: in Nowa Nadzieja and in Ruch Narodowy. I think voters also have real reasons to be proud that we represent them well - said Krzysztof Bosak in "24 pytania" on PR24.
- And the fact that we approach our work with great commitment, and that this commitment results in situations where we sometimes vote differently, or use different arguments, or present different ideas on the same issue, that's a plus for Konfederacja - he stated.
19:38
Korneluk:
It's not ruled out that Ziobro received so-called Geneva travel documents
- This is among the subjects of our investigations [how Zbigniew Ziobro entered the USA]. It is not ruled out that based on the 1951 Geneva Convention, he received so-called Geneva travel documents. This is a document issued under asylum law to a person granted asylum – and Mr. Zbigniew Ziobro and Mr. Romanowski were granted such asylum by the Hungarian government – said Dariusz Korneluk in an interview with Grzegorz Kajdanowicz on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach" (Facts after Facts).
19:38
Przydacz:
I Approach the Prime Minister's Latest Insults with a Slight Distance and Disgust
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk, I have the impression that he is increasingly resorting to harsher words out of his internal powerlessness - said Marcin Przydacz in an interview with Marek Tejchman on Polsat News's "Gość Wydarzeń" program, when asked about Prime Minister Donald Tusk's post: "KryptoPiS submitted a bill banning cryptocurrency trading. From one extreme to another - stupid or drunk".
- He is already using language that is unbecoming of a Polish Prime Minister, or a politician in general, so I approach these latest insults from the Prime Minister with a slight distance, with what I would even call disgust - he continued.
19:44
Przydacz on the government's cryptocurrency bill:
If it aligns with the President's project, the chance of him signing it will grow.
- We will see in what form it passes. If it aligns with the President's project, then the chance of the President signing this bill will grow - said Marcin Przydacz on Polsat News, when asked about the government's project regarding cryptocurrencies.
19:45
- We are taking into account information that comes, among other sources, from Mr. Ziobro himself, but also information published by Telewizja Republika, namely that Mr. Ziobro was hired by this television station overnight - Dariusz Korneluk said on TVN24's "Fakty po Faktach."
- For this reason, prosecutors have today decided to summon Mr. Sakiewicz for questioning as a witness, to, among other things, clarify this matter: what happened that Zbigniew Ziobro, suddenly, overnight, and thus immediately after the change of government in Hungary, became a correspondent or employee of Telewizja Republika, and whether this is possibly connected with the commission of an offense under Article 239, i.e., the offense of aiding and abetting, including the creation of false evidence for a person sought - he declared.
19:47
Przydacz:
The CBA is an effective tool, it should remain and be able to actively combat corruption
- There is the Central Anticorruption Bureau, which is an absolutely effective tool; over the last 20 years, it has proven that it has indeed combated corruption in many aspects - Marcin Przydacz said on Polsat News.
- The CBA should not only remain, but should be able to actively combat corruption and keep an eye on the politicians governing Poland today - he continued.
19:52
Przydacz:
Proposal to Withdraw Troops from Germany Emerged Earlier, Outside of Polish and US Presidential Talks
- No, because this decision, I mean, the proposal to withdraw troops from Germany appeared earlier, outside of the talks between the presidents of Poland and the USA - said Marcin Przydacz in Polsat News, when asked if he didn't have the feeling that we could be played, be a tool of pressure on the Germans.
- Only after its publication did the President of Poland call the President of the United States and say, "Mr. President, if you are withdrawing these troops anyway, then I will of course do everything to ensure the best possible conditions for these troops to remain in Europe." - he continued.
- I think it would also be in Germany's interest if the eastern flank were more secured - he added.
20:02
Przydacz on Talks with the US Regarding American Troop Presence in the Region:
Today I Hosted the Deputy Secretary of State at the Presidential Palace.
- Today I hosted a deputy minister, let's say, a deputy secretary of state at the Presidential Palace, and we discussed these matters among other things, convincing the American diplomatic establishment of these decisions. I don't know where this process will end or in what form, but everything must be done to, first, maintain the presence in Europe as it is, because in Poland we have this secured. Following President Nawrocki's visit to the White House, Trump said, "They will definitely stay in Poland." However, one must be cautious - said Marcin Przydacz on Polsat News.
20:09
Przydacz quotes words he allegedly heard from Pentagon officials:
How are we supposed to send troops to you when your prime minister constantly attacks us?
- I hear from the Americans, you know what I hear? Why does Donald Tusk constantly criticize, insult Americans, and create such a bad atmosphere? I heard from Pentagon officials who said, "Well, how are we supposed to send troops to you when your prime minister constantly attacks us? For what reason should we do it?" - said Marcin Przydacz on Polsat News.
- That is the perception on the American side, the recent interview in the Financial Times, right? On the one hand, threatening war, and on the other hand, signals saying that these Americans are not entirely needed here - he continued.
20:17
- Several dozen minutes ago, by decision of the Civic Coalition party, at the request of the presidium chairman, a resolution was passed to expel colleague Tomasz Lenz from the Civic Coalition, which is also tantamount [...] to expulsion from the Civic Coalition Parliamentary Club as well - said Zbigniew Konwiński on Polsat News.
20:22
Mentzen on Rymanowski:
At this Moment, There Are No Chances of Polexit.
- There are people who say we need to have a Polexit, that Poland must leave the EU. But the question is - what's the point of leaving the EU? Great Britain left, and the situation related to immigration hasn't improved, climate policy is as it was, they've even tightened it. So what was the point of leaving the EU? They have many downsides because of it now, and their government isn't any better. If Poland were to leave the EU, if we were to leave in order to simplify regulations, to enact major deregulation, to reject all these climate regulations, migration pacts, etc., then perhaps in the future that might make some sense. However, to leave the EU and change nothing is completely senseless - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Rymanowski Live.
- At this moment, there is no such topic in Poland, nor are there any chances of Polexit. In the future, something like that might appear, but again - if we leave, for what purpose, just to leave? That, it seems to me, doesn't have a great positive impact on Poland. If we were to leave, it would be in order to do things that the EU doesn't allow us to do - he continued.
20:24
Mentzen:
I have no intention of apologizing to General Kukuła. I wanted to call him an idiot
- No, I have no intention of apologizing to General Kukuła. If you wish, I can even add more to my statement about him in our program - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Rymanowski Live.
- It's true, meaning I admit that I wanted to say he is an idiot. Then I bit my tongue and said he is abnormal - he continued.
21:04
- If it were up to me, we would already be holding drone control tournaments everywhere at the high school level and above. Obviously, they would be unarmed drones, but navigating through buildings. Let the kids learn. People who are currently 17, 18, 19, 20 years old, they've been playing games like this since childhood. They are perfectly suited for this - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Rymanowski Live.
- Let's organize competitions for the district governor's cup in every district, the best competitions in the voivodeship, and let's find Poland's FPV drone control champion - he continued.
21:08
Mentzen:
I Don't See a Partner for a New Government
- I don't see a partner for a new government. It might turn out that we won't have our Minister of National Defence if we don't have a majority - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Rymanowski Live.
- Tell me, Mr. Editor, who am I supposed to form a coalition with now? I believe people should be allowed to have cryptocurrencies, meaning not to be given them, but to buy them themselves. Jarosław Kaczyński released a draft bill today to ban cryptocurrencies; I see no room for compromise here - he continued.
21:12
Mentzen on PiS:
What coalition should I form with them? They are unserious people.
- For the past six months, PiS politicians have been trying to convince us that the Tusk government's law is bad because it is too restrictive and overly limits the ability to conduct this type of business in Poland. They claim it's overregulation. I've listened to this for six months. Janusz Kowalski spoke about it, Zbigniew Bogucki, President Nawrocki. They said, 'No, you can't regulate so much; there must be less regulation, less strictness, so that the market can develop,' stated Sławomir Mentzen on Rymanowski Live.
- A week goes by, and Jarosław Kaczyński releases a prohibitive law. How seriously can you take people who have been shouting for six months that this industry should not be overregulated, only to then release a draft banning activities in that industry? Honestly, it makes your hands drop. What am I supposed to discuss with them, what coalition am I supposed to form with them? These are unserious people,' he continued.
21:29
Mentzen:
It Is Absolutely Obvious That Americans Are Not a Reliable Ally at This Moment
- It is absolutely obvious that Americans are not a reliable ally at this moment, and everyone knows it - stated Sławomir Mentzen on Rymanowski Live.
- If anyone is undermining America's credibility, it's Donald Trump, not me. I have nothing to do with it - he continued.
