Kierwiński:

I Was Not a Promoter of Kacprzyk's Medical Career

- I do not deal with staffing, I never have, and I never will deal with medical staffing in any hospital, because I neither have the competence nor the desire to do so. So, if you ask the question - no, I was not a promoter of Mr. Kacprzyk's medical career - stated Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference.

- I was the person who recommended to the county board, because these are decisions at the county board level, that Mr. Kacprzyk should not move to the next level of local government. When I found out about Mr. Kacprzyk's earnings, I found out when you, the journalists, showed his financial disclosure statement. Such earnings, regardless of anything else, are unimaginable in the context of average earnings in Poland, unimaginable earnings in any public institution - he continued.

Kierwiński:

I have no doubt Romanowski will sooner rather than later end up in Poland

- Yes, the police are carrying out their activities. I said I have no doubt that Mr. Romanowski will sooner rather than later end up in Poland, but I cannot [provide] details - stated Marcin Kierwiński at a press conference.

- This is not a prospect for the future, the near future, but not the immediate one - he continued.

Przydacz Ahead of the Upcoming Summit in Ankara:

We Will Show NATO as United.

- The NATO summit is ahead of us, this was also the topic of my conversations at the White House. I have confirmation, I know for sure that President Trump is going to Ankara - said Marcin Przydacz after meeting with Marco Rubio in a statement to RMF FM.

- We will show NATO as united, and that is good, because it is an important strategic signal. And what the talks in Ankara will concern, of course, are also the issues of expenditures, defense expenditures. Poland has nothing to reproach itself for here, but there are countries west of Poland that have not yet met these thresholds, and it is important to motivate them to do so - he continued.

- Of course, there will also be a discussion about further armament, about how to arm oneself, where to buy this equipment. There will also be a discussion about infrastructure. I also raised the issue of NATO pipelines, for example, which are very important, the issue of their construction, their extension. Since the Cold War, they stopped at the German border. The point is that these security pipelines can be extended further east, including to Poland - he continued.

- No, I think it will be a decision of the American side itself within the framework of our bilateral relations, precisely bilateral relations - he added, when asked whether decisions regarding the increase of the US military presence in Poland or a base could be announced at this summit.

Przydacz on Tasks for Kosiniak-Kamysz Regarding Efforts for Permanent US Troop Presence:

This is What the Minister of National Defense Should Focus On.

"We are convincing them [to make] this permanent presence a reality, and it is important that this positive signal from the White House [...] is translated into concrete decisions at a lower, executive level. And here, of course, there is a significant role not only for the Pentagon but also for the Polish Ministry of National Defense" - said Marcin Przydacz after a meeting with Marco Rubio in a statement for RMF FM.

"I am convinced that [...] the talks between President Nawrocki and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, already discussing how to implement this good, I would say, dynamic in Polish-American relations, this green light, but to translate it into specifics: where the Americans should be, in what format, what the treaty basis should look like for this, what the infrastructure should look like, where the buildings, where the schools are, this is what the Minister of National Defense should already be dealing with at the executive level" - he continued.

Czarnek:

We Want Prosecutors to Get Used to This Normalcy. Don't Be Afraid of Giertychs.

- Regarding the activities of the prosecutor's office, we are already seeing situations in many places where prosecutors are opposing political control of the prosecutor's office and returning to normalcy. We want prosecutors to get used to this normalcy. Don't be afraid of Giertychs. 15 posts on X by some madman who is clearly starting to fear and rightly so what he is doing. Don't be afraid of Żurek or others. Start working normally. And this normal work is beginning to emerge in the prosecutor's office - stated Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference in Warsaw.

- As for the court's decision regarding the temporary detention of Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, let's recall how the first decision was made at all. How a judge was sought by force who, against all rules, would rule for this temporary detention, I consider that to be a scandalous decision. But that's how it looks - he continued.

Czarnek:

PO Are Warsaw Thugs Who Can't Manage Hospitals

- The level of pathology in Warsaw hospitals, especially the Southern Hospital, the pathology of those in power, i.e., Civic Coalition, people like Tusk, Kierwiński, or Trzaskowski, those who oversee this pathology in these hospitals, exceeds all our imagination. Yesterday, we read about the desecration of corpses with urine simply because they were collected by a different funeral home than the one favored at the Southern Hospital in Warsaw. The case you mentioned, telling a patient 'we'll put you out the door and discharge you, whether you like it or not,' these are things characteristic of thugs - stated Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference in Warsaw.

- These are thugs. Civic Platform are Warsaw thugs who cannot manage hospitals. Not only can they not manage hospitals, but they do so scandalously. And the Southern Hospital seems to be just the tip of the iceberg. That's why we submitted a draft bill for a public trust commission to show this matter to Poles in black and white. Not like on TVN, but actually in black and white, who governs us and why they must immediately leave power - he continued.

Przydacz on Efforts for Permanent U.S. Troop Presence in Poland:

We Can Definitely Count on Rubio's Support.

- The second most important topic of our discussions was the issue of American presence in Poland. Poland expects that the number of American soldiers will not be limited, but rather increased - said Marcin Przydacz after meeting with Marco Rubio in an interview for RMF FM.

- The situation was, of course, clarified by President Trump's recent statement about an additional five thousand, but today the task of Polish diplomacy is to transform this presence from rotational to permanent, and we can definitely count on Secretary Rubio's support in this regard - he continued.

- Of course, he said that in principle there is readiness and a green light for further discussions on this matter - he further stated, when asked what Rubio said about a permanent military presence.

- He himself is of course a supporter of supporting such important allies as Poland, located in such an important region as Central Europe, in this regard. However, it is known that the Pentagon will make the key practical decisions here at a level lower than just the ministerial level - he added.


09:09

Przydacz After Meeting Rubio:

I Appealed for a Hardline Policy Towards Russia.

- Another important topic, of course, was also sanctions [...] which are being imposed on Russia, but on the other hand, we know that due to the situation in the Middle East, these sanctions [...] on energy issues have been temporarily suspended. From our perspective, I appealed primarily for a hardline policy towards Russia, because Russia only understands the language of force - said Marcin Przydacz after meeting with Marco Rubio in a statement to RMF FM.

Czarnek Appeals to Czarzasty: Urgency Needed for Fuel Price Bill

- We proposed this several months ago. The government delayed for a long time, delayed the decision for a long time. Finally, just before Easter, it introduced these solutions. Now it is withdrawing from them. We appeal once more - Poles want to refuel with normal fuel. This can be done. It can also be done through other decisions. But we know that the management of Orlen has no idea how to manage this Polish company, this Polish national treasure. When we were in power, when Daniel Obajtek was the CEO, when Brent crude was $73 a barrel, and the dollar exchange rate was 3.70, fuel at Orlen stations under our management cost 5.60 PLN, not 7 PLN. But we already know that this Orlen management is in no position to achieve this in any way - stated Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference in Warsaw.

- That is precisely why we are appealing to Mr. Marshal Czarzasty. A man of the left should indeed focus on society, on the plight of society, the plight of Polish families. We appeal to Mr. Czarzasty to include this bill on the agenda of this Sejm, of this session. We can pass this bill tomorrow. We appeal to Ms. Kidawa-Błońska to immediately convene a Senate session so that the Senate also passes this bill and so that from July 3rd to September 30th, in accordance with the assumptions of our bill, we can offer Poles fuel at a normal price, and not rob Polish families right during the holidays when they are setting off on their journeys - continued the PiS candidate for prime minister.

The Government Couldn't Care Less About Poles. They've Decided to Rob Them Again, This Time for Holidays. Czarnek Proposes Fuel Price Solutions

- Poles have hit the road because the school year ended on Friday last week. The academic year is ending, exams are finishing, people are returning home from university, parents are taking their children to their grandmothers, to family, and often travelling to the other side of Poland for holidays. And here they are, setting off yesterday, and at the petrol station, they have to pay almost a zloty, and at some stations, as we know, even 1.20 zloty more than the day before - stated Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference in Warsaw.

- Why? Because the Polish government couldn't care less about Poles. They've decided to rob Poles once again. This time, to rob them for their holidays, to rob families, to rob ordinary workers who are going on vacation, but also to rob farmers who are heading to the fields, and entrepreneurs. That's why we are returning to our idea from a few months ago. Back then, when the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz appeared, we presented a bill to reduce VAT from 23% to 8%, and to reduce excise duty, so that immediately after the law came into force, fuel prices would return to the level they were at the day before yesterday. So that Poles can fill up their tanks normally and plan their trips normally - he continued.


09:04

Przydacz:

America will continue to actively support Ukraine, according to Rubio

- America will continue to actively support Ukraine politically and beyond, according to Marco Rubio, but on the other hand, it is of course ready to achieve lasting peace through negotiations - said Marcin Przydacz after a meeting with Marco Rubio in a statement to RMF FM.


08:43

Kierwiński on the Nawrocki Campaign Incident:

They Didn't Consider It Very Serious Then, Now They're Trying to Make Politics Out of It.

- I always maintain a distance when such revelations appear almost a year after an election campaign, because it means these revelations are meant to serve a purpose. If it had been a serious situation, one that the PiS campaign staff would have qualified as serious then, I think they would have reported it - said Marcin Kierwiński in TOK FM, when asked about, among other things, Karol Nawrocki losing consciousness during the election campaign and suggestions that there might have been an attempt to poison him.

- I think they didn't consider it very, very serious then, and now they are trying to make politics out of it - he continued.


08:40

Kosiniak-Kamysz on Ukraine's entry into the EU:

They are blocking themselves today through their actions.

- Regarding entry into the EU, Ukraine does not meet one, the most important, fundamental condition today - the anti-corruption one. And that is, I think, the biggest obstacle. Perhaps the first chapter out of several dozen has begun - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in PR3.

- If there is no change in attitude among Ukrainian elites towards genuinely starting to fight corruption, towards counteracting corruption, then there is no slightest possibility of meeting the accession requirements to the EU, and no one will even have to block it, because they are blocking themselves today through their actions - he continued.


08:38

Kierwiński:

I Didn't Realize Kacprzyk Was Referencing Me

- I didn't realize that Mr. Kacprzyk was referencing me – said Marcin Kierwiński on TOK FM.

- After the campaign in '23, where his behavior was unacceptable from my perspective, I kind of lost Mr. Kacprzyk from my radar, in the sense that I didn't know what he was up to – he continued.


08:34

Kierwiński:

Had any decision-makers known about Kacprzyk's earnings and the hospital's problems, we would have reacted out of responsibility for the formation

- No, if you are asking whether any information reached me regarding the Southern Hospital, then no - said Marcin Kierwiński on TOK FM.

- Had anyone known, any of the decision-makers, that Mr. Kacprzyk was earning such money and that there were such problems in this hospital, it is obvious that we would have reacted out of responsibility for the formation - he continued.


08:25

Kosiniak-Kamysz:

We Have Been Working for Many Months on a Permanent American Presence in Poland

- We have been working for many months, not for a week, two, or three, but for many months on a permanent American presence in Poland. Preparing the infrastructure, financial security, because this will be a very demanding investment - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on PR3.


08:21

Kierwiński:

I Was Not Kacprzyk's Promoter. I Was the One Who Blocked His Candidacy for the Warsaw City Council

- No, I was not Mr. Dawid Kacprzyk's promoter - stated Marcin Kierwiński in an interview with Karolina Lewicka on "Poranek TOK FM".

- The facts are that I was the one who blocked his candidacy for the Warsaw City Council, and the facts are also that [...] Mr. Kacprzyk was not a member of the authorities of Platforma Obywatelska, neither before in Platforma, nor now in Koalicja Obywatelska, at any level, neither district nor regional - he continued.

- During the '23 campaign, we encountered certain individuals, including Mr. Kacprzyk, who did not behave fairly towards some candidates in that campaign - he further explained.

- Many activists support a specific candidate during an election campaign, hoping they will become a Member of Parliament. Mr. Kacprzyk also supported such a candidate. The campaign conducted by the staff of that candidate was unacceptable from the perspective of internal standards and collegiality within Koalicja Obywatelska - he added.


08:19

Kosiniak-Kamysz on meeting with Nawrocki:

It’s much better than with his aides, who have some frustrations.

- When it comes to cooperation with the president, it is much better here than with his aides, who have some frustrations and express them. Yesterday was a very good conversation about directions, the president’s role, essentially political, regarding relations with President Trump, which is very important, because the final decision on establishing bases and the deployment of American soldiers in general in Europe will be made by President Trump - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on PR3.


08:18

Kosiniak-Kamysz Responds to Przydacz:

Let Him Deal With Himself, He Didn’t Organize a Meeting with Zelensky.

- Truly, the last person to dictate tasks to me is Minister Przydacz. Let him deal with himself; he didn’t organize a meeting for the President with President Zelensky, he didn’t organize a conversation, he didn’t solve the problem, so he probably has his own tasks - stated Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz on PR3.
