Friday's Political Agenda: F-35 Ceremony for Polish Armed Forces, Tusk at State Protection Service Anniversary

At 10:30 AM in Warsaw, Prime Minister Donald Tusk will participate in the celebrations of the State Protection Service (SOP) anniversary.

At 11:00 AM, the official ceremony for the acceptance of F-35 aircraft into the Polish Armed Forces will take place at the 32nd Tactical Air Base in Łask. Around 11:30 AM, an address by President Karol Nawrocki is planned.

Siwiec on Nawrocki's trip to the USA:

All those stories about him flying at his own expense are nonsense.

- Whether it’s to be determined or not, I don’t know, because it’s not an occasion for determinations, but rather an occasion where the host wants to have, as they say, a good time. Meaning, he wants to have fun. If every president invited every Polish president, he should always go and be in such a place, because more relations are good, fewer relations are bad. All those stories about him flying at his own expense are nonsense. He is going, no matter what he does, he is a state official and that is obvious - stated Marek Siwiec in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- However, we don't know who else will be there. Because a lot of American celebrities are really invited there. Names that don't tell me much, but if you look them up properly, they make an impression on the American market, and other leaders will be there - he continued.

- If, for example, on this occasion it were possible to find out whether it’s 5 plus or 5 within 10 [thousand soldiers], that would be good. And I’m not counting on much more on this occasion, politically - emphasized the Head of the Chancellery of the Sejm.


08:01

Siwiec:

Let's Not Get Drawn into a "Para-Fascist Logic," Because That's Where Segregation Begins

- Let's not get drawn into this kind of para-fascist logic, because that's where segregation begins. What kind of documents are needed when applying for a job in state administration? It's a disgrace, a disgrace for these people, named specifically. Czarnek and Kowalski are riding in tandem. Shame, shame, and shame - stated Marek Siwiec on Polsat News' "Graffiti".


08:07

Przydacz on Zondacrypto:

Today's reports suggest the Prime Minister is rather implicated.

- Today's reports from money.pl, an industry portal, indicate that it is rather the Prime Minister who is implicated, as it turns out that Zondacrypto participated not only in consultations but also in the drafting of the provisions of this act, the cryptocurrency act. Editor Jadczak points this out. It is unbelievable to me that Mr. Kral was consulted by the Ministry of Finance - stated Marcin Przydacz on RMF FM.


08:09

Przydacz:

We are working to ensure US presence limitations in Europe do not affect Poland

- The Chancellery of the President is, of course, aware that the US would like to limit a certain presence in Europe. I will not be the source to confirm them. We are working towards this, and the President's upcoming visit to the USA is also intended to serve this purpose, so that these limitations, which will most likely unfortunately become a fact, of US presence in Europe, do not affect Poland. That is why we are striving to maintain the best possible relations with the President of the USA - stated Marcin Przydacz in an interview with RMF FM.


08:11

Przydacz:

If Sikorski wants something, I can bring it from Washington

- I offered Minister Sikorski that if he wants anything, I can bring it to him from Washington, as we will be there. If he has any desire, any souvenir, I don't know, a little White House, like a keychain, I am able to show a certain openness to the needs of the minister - stated Marcin Przydacz on RMF FM.


08:47

Sikorski:

President Has Government's Support in Pursuing Trump's Promise for Increased US Troop Presence

- Even during private ceremonies, one can achieve something for the country, and the president has the support of the entire government in pursuing President Trump's promise regarding the increase of American troops in Poland, despite the reduction of the American presence across Europe - said Radosław Sikorski in an interview with Renata Grochal on "Bez uników" (No Evasions) on Trójka.


08:51

Sikorski:

I would very much ask the President to demand that Ziobro be stripped of US protection

- I would very much ask the President to demand that Zbigniew Ziobro be stripped of United States protection, so that he can face a prosecutor and a judge in Poland - said Radosław Sikorski on Trójka.

- I understand that the President would like to pardon Ziobro sooner or later, but in order to pardon him, he must first be convicted - he continued.


08:55

Sikorski on Nawrocki and the Attempt to Strip Zelensky of an Order:

I Have the Impression He Realized He Went Too Far.

- It would indeed be good to proactively ask what consequences [stripping Zelensky of an order] might have for relations between Poland and Ukraine, and it would have serious consequences, as it would essentially end the possibility of dialogue between the presidents. However, no such inquiry reached me; the President has my phone number, but he does not use it - Radosław Sikorski said in Trójka.

- I have the impression, moreover, that he realized he went too far, because please note, for many days now we have had silence from the President - he continued.

- Perhaps he understood that foreign policy is more difficult than it seems, he would like to have an influence on it, and here he would have a significant influence, but with consequences for him personally - he went on to say.


09:03

Sikorski:

Poland Will Be the Biggest Beneficiary of Ukraine's Reconstruction

- I believe that Poland will be the biggest beneficiary of the reconstruction for obvious reasons. We are geographically, culturally, and linguistically close, and Ukrainians living in Poland will serve as a bridge - Radosław Sikorski said in Trójka.

- Despite the war, please remember, several hundred, if not over a thousand, Polish companies continue to operate in Ukraine, so we have every reason to believe that if European law is fairly enforced in Ukraine, Poland will benefit from it - he continued.


09:09

Czarnek:

When PiS Returns to Power, Poland Will Unilaterally Renounce the Migration Pact

- Today, the migration pact enters into force, a solution designed to shift responsibility for the erroneous decisions of politicians from Western Europe onto countries like Poland - said Przemysław Czarnek in a recording published on X.

- Tusk lies that Poland is excluded from the pact. This is merely a temporary and uncertain postponement, dependent on the decisions of the European Commission - he continued.

- I declare that when the Law and Justice party returns to power, Poland will unilaterally renounce the migration pact. We will not beg for temporary postponements or negotiate concessions. We will simply terminate this harmful agreement - he emphasized.


09:58

Ministry of Interior and Administration Publishes Statement on Migration Pact:

Poland Will Not Accept Migrants or Bear Costs.

"Poland will not accept migrants from other countries, nor will it bear the costs associated with them," the Ministry of Interior and Administration (MSWiA) announced in a statement.

"The Migration Pact is coming into effect. The entry into force of the EU Migration Pact is intended to help regain control over migration in the EU. Opposition to mechanisms that could, even to the slightest degree, reduce the security of Polish women and men, remains unchanged," it was stated.

"At the same time, over the last two years, many provisions of the Pact have been adapted to Polish specifics, including Poland's exemption from migrant relocation or bearing fees for it," the statement read.

"Poland will only apply those regulations that strengthen border protection, tighten migration policy, and increase access to data allowing for the fight against illegal migration," it was concluded.


10:31

Przydacz Responds to Sikorski's Words on the Ziobro Case:

No, No One Will Help You.

"The politicians of the ruling coalition are so incompetent that they have to appeal to the President for help in the Zbigniew Ziobro case. They can't do much themselves, besides persecuting the opposition. And now it turns out that even in this matter, they are appealing for help." - wrote Marcin Przydacz on X.

"No, no one will help you in your oppressive actions. Independent American courts will decide. Learn what the rule of law entails." - he emphasized.

This is a reaction to Radosław Sikorski's morning statement on Radio Trójka. The Minister of Foreign Affairs said: "I would very much ask the President to insist that Zbigniew Ziobro be stripped of United States protection."


11:32

Tusk:

The SOP's Effectiveness is Already Legendary

- We all have reason to be proud that such excellent people ensure the daily security of Polish institutions and those responsible for the Polish state - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the SOP's holiday celebrations.

- The effectiveness of the State Protection Service (SOP) is already legendary; anyone with ill intentions should fear the SOP officers - he continued.


11:41

Tusk on what he heard from one of the pilots:

These F-35s compared to their predecessors are like a Porsche to a Fiat Tipo.

- It is an extraordinary and beautiful coincidence that on the day of celebration for those who ensure the country's security on a daily basis, over Poland [...] the first F-35s flew, which, like you, will protect security here on the ground, they will protect the safe sky over Poland - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the SOP (State Protection Service) holiday celebrations.

- The most modern aircraft, the pilots asked me to pass on to you that they will be greeting you from the air today [...] they also asked me to use this moment and say that today the sky is safer, because these F-35s, compared to their predecessors, are like a Porsche to a Fiat Tipo, this is the comparison one of the pilots used - he continued.


12:17

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on TVP Management Being on Call with the Prime Minister's Chancellery:

I Believe So, and It's Very Bad.

- I personally don't want to go by individual journalists' names here. However, I believe that this is the case [that the current TVP management is on call with the Prime Minister's Chancellery], and it is very bad. And now, we said we wouldn't do in public television as PiS did, so we, as Polska 2050, will not do that, we will not fire some people to install other political functionaries now. There should be this law - stated Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Kanal Zero.
 


12:18

Nawrocki on the F-35:

This is a historic day, special for our beloved homeland.

- Today is an important day for our homeland, for Poland, because thanks to the multi-role F-35 aircraft, the 5th generation hussar, the Republic of Poland is and will be stronger, more powerful, and safer in the coming years. Before our eyes, during this ceremony, during this event, a modern, breakthrough leap is occurring for the Polish Army, the Polish Armed Forces, especially the air force, and in this context, it is a historic day, special for our beloved homeland - stated President Jarosław Nawrocki in Łask.

- Poland in its history, after 1989, thanks to the excellent, professional Polish pilots, the Polish soldier, and the best equipment in the world, namely the F-35, has never been so strong and so ready for the multi-domain revolution, which in the 21st century, in terms of security, is our common commitment in the Republic of Poland, but also an allied commitment. The F-35 is more than a multi-role machine, a multi-role aircraft. It is undoubtedly a combat system platform, technologically highly intelligent, capable of processing data and transmitting this data in real-time to other systems responsible for the security of NATO's eastern flank - he continued.


12:24

Nawrocki:

Strategic Relations and Partnership Are Crucial for Both Poland and the USA Today

- A Polish pilot in equipment created in the USA and based on American technology proves that strategic relations and partnership between Poland and the USA are today so very necessary for both Poland and the USA. They are, after all, based on centuries and decades of shared values espoused by both nations, a commitment to freedom, independence, sovereignty, and democracy. This is an alliance built over centuries, and in the year of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we remember Tadeusz Kościuszko and General Puławski, but we also see the million American soldiers who had Polish origins - stated President Narol Nawrocki in Łask. 


12:29

Nawrocki Thanks Błaszczak:

They Called It Megalomania, the Minister Didn’t Yield.

- Minister [to Mariusz Błaszczak], thank you that in the face of those who said that acquiring F-35 aircraft was megalomania on one hand, and on the other hand, others wanted to include the termination of this contract in their election program, you did not yield, and now the new minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz can benefit from this achievement - stated President Jarosław Nawrocki in Łask.


12:33

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Poland is Today the Undisputed Leader in Building Europe's Security Architecture

- Poland is today the undisputed leader in building Europe's security architecture, it is the leader of NATO's eastern flank, the eastern border of the EU, which thanks to our actions is the best guarded and protected in history. Every day it will become stronger, more robust, because the largest modernization and transformation process of the Polish Armed Forces in the history of the Polish state is underway - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Łask. 


12:38

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Poland is Ready to Welcome American Soldiers, Building and Supporting Their Presence Here, as We Have Done So Far

- We are pleased with this declaration to increase the number of soldiers and I wish to communicate to President [Karol Nawrocki] and to everyone that Poland is ready to welcome American soldiers, building and supporting their presence here, as we have done so far - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Łask.


13:44

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

Despite Obstacles and Sometimes Lack of Signatures, We Resisted the Temptation to Halt Army Modernization

- Despite obstacles thrown in our path, despite sometimes the lack of a signature, we did not succumb to the temptation to halt the modernization process of the Polish army. We will continue it and we will always invite and I wish to sincerely thank everyone who supported this great project of modernizing the armed forces at every moment [...] - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Łask.


13:52

Kosiniak-Kamysz on F-35: "It's good the contract was signed by my predecessor, but without our government, the full capabilities wouldn't be utilized."

- To effectively utilize the capabilities of the F-35 aircraft, bases are needed where these planes are stationed. We have invested billions of zlotys in this base in recent months. In recent months, by decision of our government, we have purchased weaponry for the F-35 - said Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Łask.

- So [...] all of this is always a continuation. And it's good that the contract was signed by my predecessor, but without our government and the weaponry, and bases, and mid-air refueling aircraft that we will purchase under the SAFE program [...] the full capabilities would not have been utilized - he continued.


14:00

"A Great Task of Deterrence Against Our Enemies": Kosiniak-Kamysz on the Apache Contract

- The contract signed by our government in 2024, just before the holiday of the Great Battle of Warsaw, the Day of the Polish Army, for 96 Apache AH-64 helicopters, top-generation combat helicopters, which, in conjunction with the F-35s, constitute our defense potential, and today already represent a great task of deterrence against our enemies – this integration with other types of equipment, with air defense, with drones, an armada of drones that we are purchasing for the Armed Forces, makes it not just one type of equipment, but truly a system of interconnected vessels, and this is precisely how a modern army should function - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in Łask.


16:23

Tusk on the President's Associates and Zondacrypto:

Entangled, They Are Losing Themselves in Their Own Lies.

- Why did the President's associates submit amendments to the cryptocurrency bill prepared by Zondacrypto? Entangled, they are already losing themselves in their own lies - wrote Prime Minister Donald Tusk on social media.


18:44

Leśkiewicz Responds to Tusk:

Admirable Determination in Attempts to Cover Up Government Incompetence.

- The "Russian services" scenario didn't work, the lie was exposed, so the Prime Minister reached for another version. The determination in attempts to cover up government incompetence is admirable - wrote Rafał Leśkiewicz on social media.


19:41

Monday Will Be a Meeting with the Senate Majority Leader. Przydacz on the Course of Nawrocki's Visit to the USA

- There will be contact, of course, there will be a conversation - said Marcin Przydacz in an interview with Marek Tejchman on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News, when asked if there would be a direct Nawrocki-Trump conversation.

- The second day, Monday, I can say directly, will be a meeting with the Senate majority leader, with Mr. Thune on Capitol Hill - he continued.


19:46

Przydacz on the Plan for US Troops' Presence in Europe:

I Think This Document Will See the Light of Day in a Matter of Weeks.

- American troops have been in Poland rotationally since 2016, partially permanently [...] we will strive, firstly, for this number not to decrease, but to increase, and we already have a basis for this in the form of a public statement by President Trump, speaking about an additional 5,000 troops. However, our primary goal is for this rotational presence to become permanent - said Marcin Przydacz on Polsat News.

- The Pentagon is working on, again, a plan for the presence of American troops in Europe. I think this document will see some light of day in a matter of weeks - he continued.


19:53

Przydacz:

The President Will Not Help Persecute the Opposition

- I have the impression that the ruling coalition is so inept [...] it only concerns itself with persecuting the opposition, and it can't even do that properly. And today it comes crying to the President, 'Mr. President, help us persecute the opposition.' Well, no, the President will not help persecute the opposition - said Marcin Przydacz on Polsat News, when asked if the President would support the Polish justice system in asking Donald Trump to ensure that individuals prosecuted in Poland do not find refuge in the USA.


19:58

Przydacz on what's next with Zelensky's order:

There is little time left for the Ukrainian side to react.

- The chapter has convened, the procedure is ongoing, an appropriate opinion has been issued, the president makes the final decision at the appropriate time, I think soon [...] sooner rather than later - Marcin Przydacz said on Polsat News, when asked when the decision regarding Zelensky's order would be made.

- There is little time left now for the Ukrainian side to also have time to react, because it's not our intention to merely exchange decisions that could have a negative impact - he continued.

- Of course, the ball is in the Ukrainian court - he went on to say, when asked if "you are waiting for a reaction from the Ukrainians.".

- I have the impression that they do not understand sufficiently, and if indeed this dialogue does not yield a positive result, and today there is no [...] I do not have information today that would reassure me - he added, when asked if "they understand what you are telling them.".

- Then the president will make a decision, yes - he stated, when asked what would happen if the Ukrainians did not understand.

- If the Ukrainian side does not take into account Polish sensitivities in the historical context, in the context of OUN-UPA, the Volhynian genocide, then indeed there is no dignity for the Order of the White Eagle to remain at the disposal of the Ukrainian side - he emphasized, when asked if this would be a decision to revoke the order.


20:10

Przydacz:

Ukraine must realize it won't join the EU with Banderism

- Ukraine must realize that it will not enter the European Union with Banderism, and without the sympathy of Poles, and primarily of Poles, it will not enter the European Union - said Marcin Przydacz on Polsat News.

- On the Ukrainian side, I'll say it directly, I would rather try to win the sympathy of Poles, not insult them - he continued.
