— "SHOULD A SPECIAL UNIT MAKE ARRESTS." SROKA ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF ZIOBRO'S WORDS ABOUT AN "ARSENAL OF WEAPONS" – 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2025/01/28/
— PIS WANTS TO CREATE A CHILLING EFFECT – ANDRZEJ DOMAŃSKI IN CONVERSATION WITH BARTOSZ T. WIELIŃSKI AND SEBASTIAN OGÓREK IN GW: "I will not be intimidated or blackmailed. I am calm because I act solely on the basis and within the limits of the law. One should not be afraid of PiS. Attempts to intimidate are inherent in its mentality and in the way this party operated when it was in power. However, those times have ended and will not return. In particular, I do not and will not consent to PiS intimidating officials. PiS politicians have filed a report on the possibility of committing a crime against officials of the Ministry of Finance who were performing their duties related to the disbursement of subsidies. I never ask about the political views of my officials. I rely on their competence and knowledge. And PiS is not interested in documents and calculations. PiS wants to create a chilling effect.
— WE ARE NOT PLANNING SPENDING CUTS – DOMAŃSKI TELLS WIELIŃSKI AND OGÓREK IN GW: "We are not planning spending cuts, and as we showed in the plan, it is not required to exit the excessive deficit procedure. With a growing economy, controlling the pace of expenditure growth is sufficient. Our economic growth forecasts are realistic. (...) We see a chance for high economic growth in Poland, and with a growing economy, controlling the pace of expenditure growth is sufficient. The European Commission has also accepted our expenditure path and the path on which the deficit is falling.
— EUROPE MUST END SUCH A PECULIAR ECONOMIC NAIVETY. WITH FAITH THAT THE UNITED STATES CAN BE A LEADER IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES, ASIA CAN BE A LEADER IN PRODUCTION, AND WE HAVE SECURED OURSELVES A LEADER'S PLACE IN... REGULATIONS – DOMAŃSKI CONTINUES WITH WIELIŃSKI AND OGÓREK IN GW: "Everyone knows that Europe must end such a peculiar economic naivety. With faith that the United States can be a leader in new technologies, Asia can be a leader in production, and we have secured ourselves a leader's place in... regulations. Europe must go beyond this framework and reach for ambitious goals, strengthening its position in global competition, increasing innovation, and creating conditions for sustainable economic growth. Without a doubt, regulations are overly constraining the European economy."

— A CONFEDERATA WILL HAVE TO EXPAND THEIR ELECTORATE BY EVEN SEVERAL DOZEN PERCENT. THIS IS A BIG JUMP, SO IT WILL BE A REALLY DIFFICULT TASK – DOMINIKA SITNICKA AND AGATA SZCZĘŚNIAK IN OKO.PRESS: "Delivering" the several percent that Sławomir Mentzen currently has in the polls will therefore be a really difficult task. Because assuming the turnout increases from the exceptionally low 40% in spring 2024, the Confederata will have to expand their electorate by even several dozen percent. This is a big jump.
— IF STANOWSKI WERE TO GROW, IT WOULD BE PRIMARILY THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF THIS SEGMENT OF VOTERS – SITNICKA AND SZCZĘŚNIAK CONTINUE IN OKO: "The good results of Confederation candidates are, of course, based on high support in the two youngest voter groups, especially among twenty-year-olds. And here lies the problem, because if Krzysztof Stanowski were to grow, it would be primarily thanks to the support of this segment of voters.
— REDUCING THE ENTIRE MATTER TO A JOKE AND ABSURDITY MAY ALSO HAVE THE EFFECT THAT THE POLLING RESULT WILL BE POOR AND KRZYSZTOF STANOWSKI WILL STOP AT SUPPORT AROUND 2% – SITNICKA AND SZCZĘŚNIAK CLAIM IN OKO: "Reducing the entire matter to a joke and absurdity may also have the effect that the polling result will be poor and Krzysztof Stanowski will stop at support around 2%. Even assuming that the whole matter is indeed just about promoting Kanał Zero and his personal brand, it is in his interest to have the best possible poll result. Will this be possible without at least partially lifting the mask of a Stańczyk?"
— TRUMP, WHO FUNCTIONS AS A MODEL FOR DISCOUNTING MEDIA POPULARITY IN POLITICS, HAD A PROGRAM THAT HE PROPAGATED WITH FULL SERIOUSNESS – SITNICKA AND SZCZĘŚNIAK CONTINUE: "If we compare Krzysztof Stanowski's start to any candidate from 2015, he is closer to a doe with a chair on its head than to Paweł Kukiz. Donald Trump, who functions as a model for discounting media popularity in politics, also had a program that he propagated with full seriousness. He did not just promise to chase away the political class, but to implement concrete changes in the economy or migration policy.
— SUCCESS FOR STANOWSKI'S CAMPAIGN WOULD BE TO SURPASS AT LEAST ONE OR TWO PEOPLE FROM PARLIAMENTARY POLITICS IN THE POLLS – SITNICKA AND SZCZĘŚNIAK FURTHER IN OKO.PRESS: "Success for Stanowski's campaign would be to surpass at least one or two people from parliamentary politics in the polls. This would confirm the assumptions of the entire campaign – our political class is so pathetic that a journalist running as a joke has higher support."

— I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND, FOR EXAMPLE, DECISIONS REGARDING COVID RESTRICTIONS SUCH AS CLOSING CHURCHES, FORESTS, PARKS, CEMETERIES. IN MY OPINION, THIS WENT TOO FAR – KAROL NAWROCKI TELLS INTERIA IN CONVERSATION WITH KAMILA BARANOWSKA: "However, looking at it all from the outside, I didn't understand, for example, decisions regarding COVID restrictions such as closing churches, forests, parks, cemeteries. In my opinion, this went too far. I also had a tougher stance towards Ukraine. This is not about military or humanitarian aid, of course, but more about issues related to the Volhynia topic. This matter should be emphasized even more strongly. I also think that the issue of Ukrainian grain should have been handled differently. From the very beginning, I declared that Polish-Ukrainian relations should be symmetrical."
— MY POSTULATE IS DICTATED BY REALISM. POLES PARTICIPATED IN A DIFFICULT ACCESSION PROCESS FOR THIRTEEN YEARS, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY UKRAINE SHOULDN'T UNDERGO IT AND BE ADMITTED UNCONDITIONALLY – NAWROCKI CONTINUES IN INTERIA: "My postulate is dictated by realism. First of all, a state that is at war cannot be admitted to NATO, so this issue is impossible to realize even for formal reasons. As for joining the EU, Poles participated in a difficult accession process for thirteen years, so I don't understand why Ukraine should not undergo it and be admitted unconditionally. Not to mention that Ukraine's entry into the EU could harm Polish agriculture, transport, and other sectors of the economy. As a Pole, I look at this first from the perspective of my country's interests."
— I COUNT ON THE FACT THAT IF I BECOME PRESIDENT, WE WILL REACH A COMPROMISE ON THIS MATTER, BUT MY FUNDAMENTAL CONDITION WILL CERTAINLY BE A CHANGE AT THE POST IN WASHINGTON, FOR THE GOOD OF RELATIONS WITH THE NEW AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION – NAWROCKI TELLS BARANOWSKA: "Dialogue is important in a democracy. I believe that among these 72 people awaiting ambassadorial nominations, there would probably be individuals who are not objected to, because they are experienced diplomats, but dialogue between the government and the president is needed here. This is also required by the constitution and the practice of action adopted during President Kwaśniewski's time. Meanwhile, this dialogue was lacking. I count on the fact that if I become president, we will reach a compromise on this matter and appoint the missing ambassadors, because it is in the country's interest. However, my fundamental condition will certainly be a change at the post in Washington, for the good of relations with the new American administration."
— HOWEVER, I DO NOT THINK THAT ANY LAW ON THIS MATTER WILL REACH THE PRESIDENT'S DESK IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BECAUSE THE RULING COALITION CANNOT AGREE AMONGST ITSELF ON THIS MATTER FOR MANY MONTHS – NAWROCKI ON ABORTION LAW: "Today, abortion can be performed in two cases, but is any other compromise possible? If there is such broad agreement, I will consider this new compromise. However, I do not think that any law on this matter will reach the president's desk in the near future, because the ruling coalition cannot agree among itself on this matter for many months."
— NAWROCKI CALLS A COUNTER-CANDIDATE A CLOWN: "And how else would you call a person who is someone different every day of this campaign? Before Rafał Trzaskowski starts evaluating the views of other candidates, let him consider his own. Because I could ask: which Rafał are you today? Today are you distributing pornographic content proposed to children in your museum or defending them from ideologies? Today are you taking down crosses or promoting Christian values? Today are you the green Rafał who wants to implement the Green Deal "faster" or its opponent?"

— THIS IS DISAPPOINTMENT, LOSS OF ILLUSIONS, THESE ARE NOT EMOTIONS THAT MOBILIZE POLITICALLY – PRZEMYSŁAW SADURA IN CONVERSATION WITH MARTA KURZYŃSKA IN INTERIA: "The problem is the social mood. Survey results show that the mood in the electorate of the ruling parties is rather negative. This is disappointment, loss of illusions; these are not emotions that mobilize politically. However, in the PiS electorate, there are emotions such as fear and anger, which motivate action and will draw people to the polls."

— HEAD OF LUBLIN PO COLLECTED BAIL FOR JANUSZ PALIKOT – SEBASTIAN BIAŁACH IN ONE PLUS: "When at the end of last week, PO activists were preparing for Sunday's collection for WOŚP, just before the weekend, they received an SMS from the chairman of Platforma in Lublin region. The message, by no means, did not concern support for sick children. Stanisław Żmijan asked for support, but for his former party colleague. 'Janusz Palikot, through his son, has asked for help in raising funds for bail, which is a condition for his release from custody. Support with any amount. Janusz's attorney in this matter is his brother Bogdan. Please reply. s.żmijan' [original spelling] – this was the content of the SMS sent to members of Lublin PO on Friday."
