-- ZGORZELSKI SUGGESTS ELECTING CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL JUDGES THROUGH COMPETITION - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/pl/live/2025-12-29

-- SOME MEDIA HAVE BEEN WARNING FOR MONTHS ABOUT KACZYŃSKI LOSING CONTROL OVER A DIVIDED PIS. BUT THIS REMAINS POLITICAL FICTION UNLESS AN OPEN CONFLICT ERUPTS BETWEEN THE CHAIRMAN AND THE PRESIDENT - MAREK KĘSKRAWIEC IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: “Some media have been warning for months about Kaczyński losing control over a divided PiS, but this remains political fiction unless an open conflict erupts between the chairman and the president, and the latter starts to form his own environment, composed of parts of PiS and Konfederacja. Today, Kaczyński should be more concerned about allowing views to be pampered in the public sphere that were once shameful to express even in private.”

-- MORAWIECKI'S TEAM OPERATES LIKE AN EXCEPTIONALLY EFFICIENT AND RESILIENT MECHANISM - KĘSKRAWIEC CONTINUES IN TYGODNIK: “Certainly, this approach won't entice the crucial voter closer to the center, who doesn't trust Donald Tusk and at the same time no longer sees an alternative in Polska 2050 or PSL. Mateusz Morawiecki aims to target this segment. While he's in the minority, his team operates like an exceptionally efficient and resilient mechanism.”

-- TUSK HAS NO COMPETITION TODAY, NEITHER WITHIN KO NOR OUTSIDE IT - KĘSKRAWIEC CONTINUES IN TP: “The right wing today faces a problem of excessive, sometimes even peculiar, abundance. On the other side, it's the opposite. Tusk has no competition today, neither within KO nor outside it. A large part of the voters rejoices in this, but I believe the Prime Minister has drained both the party and the entire coalition. He has taken on everything, but this might be too much for a 68-year-old politician.”

-- THE BORDER DEFENSE MOVEMENT WAS A REAL FORCE THAT COMPELLED MY SUCCESSOR, THE CURRENT PRIME MINISTER, TO ACT AT THE WESTERN BORDER - MATEUSZ MORAWIECKI IN PIOTR WITWICKI AND MARCIN FIJOŁEK'S POLITICAL WORKOUT ON POLSAT AND INTERIA: “Migration and issues related to the influx of illegal immigrants are still topics that worry Poles. And I wouldn't say it's detached from reality. It's the concern of Poles, though of course, the peak of this interest was a few months earlier. Do you gentlemen remember the Border Defense Movement? I traveled then too: Gubin, Zgorzelec, Osinów Dolny. I traveled to various places, and not just me. The Border Defense Movement was a real force that compelled my successor, the current prime minister, to act at the western border.”

-- WHEN WE INTRODUCED A MEDIA-FREE ZONE ON THE EASTERN BORDER, JOURNALISTS WENT MAD WITH FURY. WHEN DONALD TUSK DID THE SAME ON THE WESTERN BORDER, THERE IS SILENCE - MORAWIECKI CONTINUES WITH WITWICKI AND FIJOŁEK: “However, whether the issue was genuinely addressed? I don't know for sure, because when we introduced a media-free zone on the eastern border, journalists went mad with fury and we were attacked hour by hour. When Donald Tusk did the same on the western border, there is silence. I leave that for you gentlemen to assess internally.”

-- I HAVE THE MOST INTERROGATIONS, I AM DRAGGED TO PROSECUTORS THE MOST, GRAPHICS WITH MY IMAGE ARE PRESENTED, NOT THOSE OF VARIOUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS FROM MY FORMATION, BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY FEAR ME THE MOST - MORAWIECKI CONTINUES ON POLSAT AND INTERIA: “Our main competitor, who has now made me their primary target, because they attack those they fear the most. I have the most interrogations, I am dragged to prosecutors the most. Graphics with my image are presented, not those of various other individuals, mainly from my formation, who also happen not to be attacked. Because they probably fear me the most. Additionally, this fuels action, attacks.”

-- NEITHER IN THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES, NOR WHEN ŻUREK IS WITH TUSK, NOR IN EVEN WORSE ONES THAT COULD ARISE IF WE WERE ATTACKED BY RUSSIA, WILL I EVER LEAVE POLAND - MORAWIECKI CONTINUES: “I know what you are alluding to, or whom you are alluding to, and please allow me to say that everyone should take care of themselves in the way they deem best. Therefore, I will not criticize anyone here. However, I can tell you that neither in the current circumstances, nor when Żurek is with Tusk, nor in even worse ones that could arise if we were attacked by Russia, will I ever leave Poland in such a situation.”

-- PIS MUST FOCUS ON TOPICS THAT INTEREST PEOPLE. HEALTHCARE IS NEITHER RIGHT-WING NOR LEFT-WING. JOBS ARE NEITHER RIGHT NOR LEFT - MORAWIECKI TELLS WITWICKI AND FIJOŁEK: “Law and Justice must focus on topics that interest people. Healthcare is neither right-wing nor left-wing. Jobs are neither right nor left, nor are high prices in stores. Butter, which has risen by 12%, eggs by 15%, and so on, these are right-wing or left-wing topics. I suspect they simply interest people, and we refer to them too. Please note, I will praise my colleagues from my formation for an interesting panel on healthcare. Recently, such a seminar, such a conference, and many interesting ideas were indeed proposed there. We are pushing through with this, with the belief that we will finally break this wall with our heads.”

-- WHY SHOULD I COMMENT ON THE WORDS OF OUR ORDINARY ACTIVIST WHO, STARTING FROM SECOND PLACE WITH A GIGANTIC CAMPAIGN AND A LARGE BUDGET, ACHIEVED SIXTH PLACE? - MORAWIECKI ASKED ABOUT KURSKI: “Why should I comment on the words of our ordinary activist of Law and Justice, who, starting from second place with a gigantic campaign and a large budget, achieved sixth place? Our voters, the voters of Law and Justice, have shown what they think of him, and I will draw a curtain of silence over it. Especially since we have just had the holidays and are approaching New Year. Let a positive atmosphere prevail around us in this studio.”

-- I BELIEVE THE LARGEST SEGMENT OF THE ELECTORATE CONSISTS OF PEOPLE WHO THINK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT, ABOUT THEIR WALLET, WORRY ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN, ABOUT EDUCATION, ABOUT HEALTHCARE. I AM OFFERING A NORMAL POLAND TO THESE PEOPLE - MORAWIECKI STATES IN WITWICKI AND FIJOŁEK'S PROGRAM: “A camp that wants to be a very large camp, over 30%, and ideally 40%, for society, must gather voters from various sides, must shape public opinion, and must respond to the calls of public opinion. And one cannot say that only this narrative, the one Grzegorz Braun uses, should be our primary narrative, so to speak. I am of the opinion that we need to gather voters very broadly. Therefore, let some deal with, so to speak, the electorate that is closer to Grzegorz Braun. And I believe that the largest segment of the electorate consists of people who think about development, about their wallets, worry about their children, about their children's education, about healthcare, about their mothers falling ill, about not having the next mortgage payment because interest rates are too high. These are the people to whom I am offering a normal Poland. A Poland that deals with the daily affairs of Poles, while at the same time not avoiding the identity agenda, which is very important, as it is very close to me.”

-- YES, I CRITICIZE THE EUROPEAN UNION, WHICH DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE EUROPEAN UNION. WE MUST TRANSFORM IT VERY QUICKLY - MORAWIECKI CONTINUES: “Yes, I criticize the European Union, which does not mean we have to leave the European Union. We must transform it, reform it very quickly, otherwise it will beat itself to death with those baseball bats it bought for the 13th floor of the European Commission building. The European Commission and the Court of Justice of the European Union will lead to this shortly.”

-- GEORGIA MELONI USES PARTNERS FROM THE RIGHT, LIKE MATTEO SALVINI, WHEN NECESSARY. WHEN NECESSARY, SHE USES PARTNERS FROM THE LEFT - MORAWIECKI FURTHER STATES: “It is possible to combine different optics, different points of view, to find a common denominator, and this can be the strength of a Minister of Justice, a future government, or a prime minister of a future government, who goes to Brussels to negotiate various things and can simply use the fact that they have such parliamentary backing. Georgia Meloni also does this. When necessary, she uses partners from the right, i.e., Matteo Salvini. When necessary, she uses partners from the left, i.e., Forza Italia, which incidentally belongs to the EPP, the European People's Party. She has a coalition today consisting of – forgive me, I am translating this into Polish – PiS, Konfederacja, and Civic Platform.”

-- IF SOME STATES ABSOLUTELY WANT TO PLUNGE INTO THE GREEN DEAL POLICY, LET THEM DO SO. IF THEY WANT TO HAVE WINDMILLS ONLY, LET THEM SIMPLY PURSUE THAT POLICY, BUT LEAVE US ALONE - MATEUSZ MORAWIECKI FURTHER IN PIOTR WITWICKI AND MARCIN FIJOŁEK'S POLITICAL WORKOUT ON POLSAT AND INTERIA: “My proposal for Europe is a Europe of many paths, a Europe of strategic partnerships. If some states absolutely want to plunge into the Green Deal policy, let them do so. If they want to have windmills only, let them simply pursue that policy, but leave us alone. If other countries want to continue Angela Merkel's policy of admitting illegal immigrants? Please, continue to risk your security. We do not want that; leave us in peace. This is the policy of European partners. We, in turn, want to build the eastern flank of NATO and the European Union as a bastion of security. Help us here, because we will also provide you with security through this. And if you don't help us, then at least don't hinder us.”

-- BILLIONS IN SUBSIDIES DID NOT HELP. THE NATIONAL HEALTH FUND (NFZ) HAS A RECORD AMOUNT OF UNPAID EXCESS SERVICES - JUDYTA WATOŁA IN GW: “There have never been such high excess payments for unlimited and limited services (...) These amount to PLN 5,497,043,006 and PLN 5,955,597,807, respectively, totaling PLN 11,452,640,813,” reported “Menedżer Zdrowia.” “To say that things are bad is an understatement,” the data summary stated. Unlike in previous years, there are no longer any wards where the NFZ has no obligations to medical facilities with which it has a contract. Now, the fund has arrears everywhere, even in Wielkopolska, where there were none two years ago, and in the Lubuskie voivodeship, where they were once symbolic (tens of thousands of zlotys in Q2 2023).”
