Sawicki on PiS Crisis: The Party Has Already Disintegrated

Marek Sawicki, speaking on Polsat News, claims that PiS is fracturing as internal defiance of Jarosław Kaczyński mounts, while the coalition government faces declining public support and communication failures.

Internal Strife Within PiS

On July 15, the PiS presidium passed a resolution banning party members from participating in political associations and foundations. This decision targets organizations like Mateusz Morawiecki’s “Rozwój Plus” and Jacek Sasin’s “Po pierwsze Polska.”

Members have been given seven days to cease operations. While Sasin’s group complied, Morawiecki announced his organization would continue. Furthermore, 45 parliamentarians and MEPs have signed a letter of protest to Kaczyński.

On July 19, the PiS chairman responded on social media, urging his colleagues to remain calm and focus on the external opposition rather than engaging in public disputes.

A Shift in Right-Wing Leadership

Marek Sawicki stated that most PiS members no longer listen to Jarosław Kaczyński. He asserted that President Karol Nawrocki has emerged as the new leader of the right.

According to Sawicki, figures such as Bogucki and Przydacz from the President’s office are currently setting the tone for the right-wing agenda and political discourse.

Government Support Declines

A recent CBOS poll indicates that support for Donald Tusk’s government has fallen below 30 percent for the first time since September 2025, with 48 percent of respondents expressing opposition.

Sawicki attributed these numbers to poor government communication, noting that while Adam Szłapka is now the government spokesperson, there remains a disconnect between the Prime Minister’s office and the public.

He further remarked that Donald Tusk has lost the dynamism he exhibited between 2007 and 2014, suggesting that his time in Brussels has left him with bureaucratic habits.
