The same day marked the expiration of an ultimatum issued by the PiS leadership, requiring members to sign a loyalty statement confirming party membership and resignation from association activities, primarily targeting members of Morawiecki&#8217;s &#8220;Rozw\u00f3j Plus&#8221; association.<\/p>\n<h4>Reactions Within the Party Ranks<\/h4>\n<p>Tobiasz Boche\u0144ski wrote on the platform X that every PiS MP, senator, and MEP has a free choice to stay or leave voluntarily, while appealing to fight against Tusk rather than cause splits. Waldemar Buda noted that Prime Mateusz Morawiecki made several agreement proposals, but the red line remained the continued existence of the Rozw\u00f3j Plus Association and the withdrawal of the humiliating loyalty statements, resulting in no agreement being reached.<\/p>\n<h4>Waiting for Midnight and the Cinderella Remark<\/h4>\n<p>Speaking to journalists outside the PiS headquarters, Agnieszka Wojciechowska van Heukelom remarked that it was not yet midnight and they would see how Cinderella behaves, adding that magic things happen at midnight. She confirmed that she and over 140 other politicians had already signed the statement, expressing hope that the remaining colleagues would come to their senses.<\/p>\n<h4>Defending the Former Prime Minister<\/h4>\n<p>Robert Gontarz, a PiS MP and member of the Rozw\u00f3j Plus association, stated in Telewizja Republika that it is quite distressing that a group within PiS believes the party would be stronger by getting rid of a very large faction, noting that Morawiecki served as prime minister through difficult years. He added that they will not voluntarily leave PiS and questioned whether forcing them out to hand the parliamentary club to Civic Platform is a wise decision.<\/p>\n<h4>Accusations of Disloyalty and Internal Divisions<\/h4>\n<p>Micha\u0142 Wo\u015b stated on wPolsce24 that today is the time to side with Law and Justice, comparing some members&#8217; hesitation to a husband building a nest outside the family home while claiming he wants to remain faithful. He expressed great surprise that some colleagues were resorting to various gymnastics to avoid signing the declarations unanimously adopted by the party leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a critical meeting between Mateusz Morawiecki and Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski at the PiS headquarters, party members face a strict ultimatum regarding party loyalty and association ties.
