PiS faces a split, around 30 MPs to lose membership

Poland's opposition party Law and Justice is facing a split after around 30 of its members of parliament failed to meet the leadership's ultimatum by Thursday midnight. According to available information, they did not withdraw from intra-party associations, which the leadership identified as a problem given their political activity within the party. svet.sme.sk ↗

The dispute centers on tension between PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński and former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. The party leadership decided last week that MPs must confirm they are not members of such associations. Morawiecki refused to sign the so-called declaration of loyalty, even though he had tied his political future to PiS and, before the deadline expired, declared loyalty to both the party and the right-wing camp. aktuality.sk ↗

On Thursday, Kaczyński met with Morawiecki before the ultimatum expired. However, once the deadline passed, the conflict intensified, and reports indicate that more than 30 MPs will lose their membership in Poland's largest opposition party. German media describe the situation as an escalation of the dispute over the party's direction and a power struggle between Morawiecki and the long-serving chairman Kaczyński. aktuality.sk ↗

Further developments will show whether the departure of this group of MPs leads to a permanent split within PiS, or to a realignment of forces within Poland's right-wing opposition. teraz.sk ↗
