Ociepa as Deputy Marshal? Pełczyńska-Nałęcz: We'll Support a PiS Candidate Who Isn't Ms. Witek

- From the very beginning of this Sejm, there was an agreement that the caucuses that were in the Sejm at the start each receive one deputy marshal in a pluralistic manner - Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz said on "Gość Radia ZET".

- All coalition parties said: we will vote for anyone presented [...] except for Marshal Witek, because of what she was doing in the previous Sejm... - she emphasized.

- A word spoken is a word to keep. We keep our word. It's not a question of whether we like him [Marcin Ociepa] or not, because we rather don't like him, but a word spoken is a word to keep. Just as we supported the Confederation's candidate, we will support a PiS candidate who is not Ms. Witek. As we said, so it will be done, because a word simply carries weight - she declared.

Czarnek:

We Demand the Enactment of a Law Lowering VAT on Fuel from 23% to 8% and Excise Duty to Minimum Rates

- This is the last moment. Tomorrow the Sejm session begins, the last one before the summer recess, the next one only in deep September - said Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference.

- If we do not pass our law tomorrow [...] Poles will be driving on the most expensive fuel ever in Poland until the end of the holidays, and this is explicitly the fault of Tusk, Motyka, Domański, Kosiniak-Kamysz, Czarzasty, all those who created the December 13th coalition - he continued.

- Only one thing is needed: to adopt a law at this Sejm session to again lower VAT from 23% to 8%, and excise duty to minimum rates, and allow Poles [...] to have cheap fuel - he continued speaking.

- We demand the enactment of a law lowering VAT from 23% to 8% and excise duty to minimum rates, we demand cheap fuel at Polish stations - he added.

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

Some Parties Choose to Be in a Coalition Asymptomatically

- A coalition, as the name suggests, is a set of different parties. I understand that some parties choose to be in a coalition asymptomatically, and it is enough for them to subordinate themselves to the agenda of the strongest party - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on "Gość Radia ZET".

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

I Don't Hide That I Talk to Various Circles. Nobody Will Be Putting Up Red Flags About What I Can and Cannot Do

- I do talk, and I don't hide it, I talk to various circles. However, I have a principle: I talk in broad daylight. I don't need any cover for that, because conversations in politics are something necessary, something desired - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on "Gość Radia ZET".

- Yes, I talk. Nobody will be putting up red flags about what I can do and what I cannot do - she indicated.

- We will not cooperate with Braun because Braun harms Poland - Mariusz Błaszczak stated on TOK FM when asked if Braun, Bosak, and Mentzen would be part of a right-wing senate pact.

- Yes, of course - he continued when pressed, "so with Bosak and Mentzen, it's a pact then?"

Kurski Banned from Media Appearances? Błaszczak Confirms

- Indeed so, but these announcements will be presented by the spokesperson of Law and Justice - Mariusz Błaszczak said on TOK FM, when asked if Jacek Kurski had been banned from media appearances by Jarosław Kaczyński.

Czarzasty:

Early Elections Are 100% Off the Table

- There will be no early elections, 100%. What's more, the coalition of October 15th, if we give it some serious thought on a few matters – and we all give it thought together, without any arrogance – I believe has a very high probability of governing for the next 4 years - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on RMF FM.


08:44

Czarzasty:

We Must Also Apologize for What Wasn't Done Well. For Example, for Healthcare

- We must also apologize for what wasn't done well. For example, for healthcare. I have no problem with that. I stand up and say - healthcare should function better. That's something we didn't do well, but I also say precisely, I present precisely the 16 laws, including what Lewica is delivering - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on RMF FM.

Pełczyńska-Nałęcz:

I see us being 'married off' all the time, sometimes to Razem, sometimes to Morawiecki. This shows we are a centrist party with coalition potential

- I see us being 'married off' all the time, sometimes to Razem, sometimes to Morawiecki. This shows that we are indeed a centrist party, we have coalition potential, but what is most important for us today is [that] we know what we want and what is important for Poland - said Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz in an interview with Marcin Zaborski on "Gość Radia ZET".

- There must be a new housing policy, which we have already largely implemented. There must be fair taxes, some progress has also been made, for example, the bank tax, but much more needs to be done. Simply put, taxes need to be shifted more towards corporations and lifted from working people - she continued.

Man, Get a Grip, There Are No Enemies on the Right. Błaszczak to Mentzen

- I will tell him: man, get a grip, there are no enemies on the right, don't attack Law and Justice, just summarize Tusk - Mariusz Błaszczak said on TOK FM, when asked for a response to Sławomir Mentzen, who wrote on X: "If Morawiecki works for Tusk and Berlin, is a globalist and an advisor to Tusk, who is causing a split because he fears charges of serious crimes, is a traitor and a man who opposed 500+ and F-35, then why was this bad man the Prime Minister in the PiS government, a Vice-President of PiS and the face of this party?".

Convention of a New Political Entity': Błaszczak on the 'Rozwój Plus' Association Event

- When Professor Czarnak presented these postulates, three postulates, in Kalisz, what was Mateusz Morawiecki talking about? He was talking about organizing a barbecue on July 31st. [...] This is an inconsistency - said Mariusz Błaszczak on TOK FM.

- The whole event was supposed to be a barbecue, it turns out it will be a convention of a new political entity - he continued.


08:31

Czarzasty on a Potential Alliance Between Morawiecki and Kosiniak-Kamysz:

I Can’t Imagine It.

- Honestly, I can’t imagine it, although various things happen in politics. How do you imagine a reasonable, wise Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, my colleague, standing with Morawiecki, with Morawiecki saying: what PiS did was bad, and I happened to be Prime Minister there for 6 years. And Kosiniak saying: I am talking to a man whom I have always trusted, at a time when we fought against this hypocrisy for 6 years – stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on RMF FM.


08:29

Błaszczak on Morawiecki's Association:

The Most Likely Scenario is That They Will Disappear from the Political Scene.

- There are three possibilities. The first is that they will go the way of PJN [Poland Comes First], the second possibility is that they will go the way of Zbigniew Ziobro, returning before the elections, only I think that is less realistic, as we only have a year until the elections [...]. And the third scenario is that they will disappear from the political scene - said Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Maciej Kluczka on "Poranek TOK FM".

- I think the third scenario is the most likely, why? Because there is no room on the political scene for another liberal party - he continued.


08:12

Czarzasty Suggests a Change of PiS Candidate for Prime Minister:

Matecki Has Achievements, He Has Accusations.

- I think that at this moment they will also think about changing the PiS candidate for prime minister. They will look for someone who has some achievements, for example, it could be Matecki. Matecki under Czarnek. Because Matecki has achievements, he has accusations - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on RMF FM.


08:08

Czarzasty:

We Will Not Elect a Deputy Speaker at This Sejm Session; We'll Revisit This in September

- At this Sejm session, I do not plan to introduce any changes. Consequently, we will not introduce and vote on the election of a deputy speaker. As it stands, August is approaching. Once everyone has settled things, we will return to this matter at the September session, either the first or the second one - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on RMF FM.


08:06

Czarzasty on Sejm Reshuffles:

We Definitely Won't Be Making Changes Today or Tomorrow.

- We need calm on this matter. We will definitely not be making any changes today or tomorrow. Certainly not at the upcoming Sejm session, and we start the Sejm tomorrow, there will be no changes because I will not introduce any changes. Let the gentlemen and ladies there sort things out calmly - stated Włodzimierz Czarzasty on RMF FM.
