“President Andrzej Duda is sovereign in his actions; if he decides that it is necessary to convene a cabinet council or some other formula, such action will be taken,” Piotr Ćwik, deputy head of the KPRP, said in Program I of Polish Radio. He also assured that “the President will swear in new members of the National Electoral Commission on the dates that oblige him to do so.”
Ćwik was asked, among other things, about “whether President Andrzej Duda will listen to the call” of PiS President Jarosław Kaczyński, who said yesterday that there is a “creeping coup”.
“There is an ongoing crisis due to attempts to change the system by force.
There is a crisis happening right now, but it is a crisis that is spelled out in law. (…) This is an attempt to change the system by force. Moreover, it is not just about this event; many of the events that occurred after December 13 together constitute a crime committed by this authority.
– he assessed. As he said, hopes are pinned on President Andrzej Duda, who – according to the PiS president – will convene the Cabinet Council, the National Security Council, “and perhaps also take other actions to ensure the functioning of the constitution and legislation in Poland.”
Mr. President is, is and always will be sovereign in his decisions and actions. He repeats it and it is true. He also makes it clear that he protects the provisions of the Constitution. If it considers that it is necessary to convene a Cabinet Council or other form in the presence of representatives of political circles or the Government, such action will be taken.
– Ćwik emphasized.
The deputy head of the KPRP noted that “the president has one very important message for all parties on the political scene in Poland: you need to calm your emotions.”
We must remember that there are certain things we want to talk about and implement beyond division, but we must also remain steadfast in our arguments, in the areas where we differ.
– he emphasized.
Let it be a substantive discussion, not based on mutual insults, insults and insults.
– added.

When will the new NEC members be sworn in and appointed as members of the RDS?
Ćwik was also asked when the president would swear in seven new members of the National Electoral Commission.
Ensure that the president will do this within the time limits that require him to do so. The President’s calendar is designed to perform all the duties of the President arising from appointments and nominations
– he emphasized.
He also referred to the appointment of members of the Social Dialogue Council.
Today on the president’s agenda is the appointment of members of the Council for Social Dialogue. We have invited fifteen ministers who will join this Council, based on the request sent by Prime Minister Donald Tusk in early January.
– he remembered.
Ten of these ministers confirmed their presence yesterday. That is why we were surprised last night when we received correspondence from the Prime Minister’s Chancellery informing us that the Ministers are so busy that they will not appear at this appointment and that it would be best if these appointments were sent to the Prime Minister’s Chancellery prime minister and will be forwarded to ministers
– added. He judged that “this is not a good way to function – when it comes to building a dialogue.”
He recalled that “the acts of vocation were prepared without undue delay.”
We hope we can complete this formula today. We will be ready at 3:30 PM to carry out this action of the President
– he emphasized.
The same applies to scheduling the appointment of new members of the National Electoral Commission in the president’s agenda
– added.
The deputy head of the KPRP was asked whether the president would participate in the work on constitutional amendments if it were to begin in the Sejm.
The President is always open to dialogue and reiterates this. If there are ideas and actions that are in accordance with procedure and law, the President is always willing to participate.
– he emphasized.
