Polish ruling PiS held a meeting at its Nowogrodzka headquarters amid internal factional clashes, with calls for leader Kaczynski to discipline the splintered ranks.
President Kaczynski Should Beat All Factionalists
An anonymous PiS politician told the news outlet Fact that in a Friday meeting at the party’s headquarters on Nowogrodzka Street, Kaczynski should “beat them all” because internal division threatens electoral success.
Critique of Ryszard Terlecki and Ziobry
During a separate interview, a spokesman for the Ziobry faction described Terlecki’s recent remarks as hopeless and called the Ziobry group a burden on PiS. Terlecki himself admitted the faction’s presence hampers party unity.
Morawiecki versus Sasin Factional Split
Jacek Sasin stated on Radio Zet that Mateusz Morawiecki will no longer be PiS’s prime ministerial candidate, arguing that Morawiecki’s centrist stance does not satisfy right‑wing voters. Morawiecki countered the claim on X, intensifying the split.
Party Concern over Losing Power and MP Conduct
PiS leaders fear losing sufficient seats to sustain presidential veto power. The party has suggested removing MPs who have engaged in questionable conduct, such as Łukasz Mejza, after the MP was detained on S3 for speeding and subsequently renounced parliamentary immunity.
Underlying Factional Tension in PiS
In recent weeks, PiS politicians have repeatedly attacked one another, illustrating deep factional tensions that could jeopardise the party’s prospects in upcoming elections.
