PiS Spokesman Dismisses Reports as Fantasy Stories"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Following reports that Zbigniew Bogucki will replace Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek as PiS&#8217;s candidate for prime minister, party spokesman Rafa\u0142 Bochenek has dismissed the claims as fantasy stories.  <\/p>\n<h4>Reports on Leadership Change<\/h4>\n<p>According to Robert Mazurek from Kana\u0142 Zero, Zbigniew Bogucki is set to become the PiS candidate for prime minister instead of Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek. The journalist claims that Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski has already discussed the matter with Bogucki, who agreed to the proposal, and the idea was reportedly accepted by President Karol Nawrocki. Wirtualna Polska confirmed similar information, noting that Bogucki had already been mentioned in PiS backstage as a potential candidate for the position back in December.<\/p>\n<h4>PiS Spokesman Denies Rumors<\/h4>\n<p>PiS spokesman Rafa\u0142 Bochenek responded to these reports on the platform X, encouraging people to rely on facts rather than fantasy stories and whispers from malicious individuals. He emphasized that the candidate for prime minister remains Prof. Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek, who will take the office if the party wins the upcoming elections, adding that the rumored scenario is not being considered at all.<\/p>\n<h4>Diverging Reports from Dziennik Gazeta Prawna<\/h4>\n<p>Bochenek&#8217;s denial contrasts with findings published by &#8220;Dziennik Gazeta Prawna,&#8221; which reported that leadership is seriously considering replacing the prime minister candidate as early as autumn. Sources indicate that Czarnek failed to stop the outflow of PiS voters toward Confederation and Confederation of the Polish Crown, and allegedly harmed the party&#8217;s image with statements regarding the suspension of military aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<h4>Internal Party Criticism and Reprimand<\/h4>\n<p>An unnamed prominent PiS politician admitted to &#8220;DGP&#8221; that fewer people in the leadership are defending Czarnek. This followed a public reprimand from Kaczy\u0144ski himself over calls to abandon support for Ukraine, after which Kaczy\u0144ski stated on X that aid to Ukraine is absolutely necessary for Poland&#8217;s raison d&#8217;\u00e9tat and security, and that the matter of Czarnek&#8217;s statements would be resolved by party authorities.<\/p>\n<h4>Bogucki Reacts to Past Speculation<\/h4>\n<p>In February, Bogucki commented on previous speculation regarding his potential candidacy for prime minister by stating he remains firmly grounded. As head of the president&#8217;s office, he noted that his focus is his current duty and service, adding that while it is extremely nice of his colleagues, he never gets overly excited and awaits the party leader&#8217;s decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following reports that Zbigniew Bogucki will replace Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek as PiS&#8217;s candidate for prime minister, party spokesman Rafa\u0142 Bochenek has dismissed the claims as fantasy stories.
