Party spokesperson Rafa\u0142 Bochenek stated that the measure aims to maintain the party&#8217;s ideological, organizational, and political unity.<\/p>\n<p>Members have been ordered to cease all activities within such groups and formally resign within seven days. Those who fail to comply face expulsion from the party via the Political Committee. Bochenek confirmed the decision was unanimous, noting that Mateusz Morawiecki was absent from the meeting.<\/p>\n<h4>Targets and Compliance<\/h4>\n<p>The directive specifically names the &#8220;Rozw\u00f3j Plus&#8221; association, founded by former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, and &#8220;Po pierwsze Polska,&#8221; launched by Jacek Sasin. Sasin announced he would comply by ending his association&#8217;s activities, focusing instead on the goal of removing the current government from power.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, Morawiecki defended &#8220;Rozw\u00f3j Plus&#8221; on the X platform, describing it as a platform for discussing Poland&#8217;s future, security, and economy. Despite the party&#8217;s directive, members associated with the group indicated they intend to continue with their scheduled event on July 31.<\/p>\n<h4>Background on Internal Tensions<\/h4>\n<p>Jacek Sasin founded &#8220;Po pierwsze Polska&#8221; in June to support the party&#8217;s unity and the potential candidacy of Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek for prime minister. The association includes high-ranking members such as El\u017cbieta Witek, Tobiasz Boche\u0144ski, and Patryk Jaki.<\/p>\n<p>Morawiecki\u2019s &#8220;Rozw\u00f3j Plus,&#8221; established in April, has caused ongoing friction within the party, with some leadership figures viewing it as an attempt to create a rival power base independent of the main party structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Law and Justice (PiS) party leadership has issued a formal resolution forcing members to resign from political associations, specifically targeting groups led by Mateusz Morawiecki and Jacek Sasin.
