Following an ultimatum regarding political associations, a public exchange between PiS politicians Waldemar Buda and Rafa\u0142 Bochenek on X highlights ongoing internal divisions within the party. <\/p>\n
“The PiS club is withdrawing its representatives from television programs if representatives of the Rozw\u00f3j Plus association also participate,” announced Waldemar Buda on X on Friday, July 24. Party spokesperson Rafa\u0142 Bochenek responded to his post.<\/p>\n
“Waldek, take it easy, relax already and stop lying. We will not participate in programs when, for example, TVN or government TVP will want to provocatively seat us one-on-one opposite each other, boosting their viewership at our expense. In broader debates, we always will, provided we receive an invitation. Remember, PiS is not the enemy. Keep acting and building the association. Good luck,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
Adrian Borecki from Republika television joined the discussion. “Mr. Spokesperson, in that case, I hope that tomorrow at 18:00 an invited PiS politician will appear on the program. Participation in the program has so far been confirmed: Piotr M\u00fcller, Micha\u0142 Wawer, Kamil Wnuk. I am counting on a representative from PiS,” we read.<\/p>\n
On July 15, the PiS presidium adopted a resolution regarding the “ban on activity and participation of party members in associations, foundations and other organizations of a political nature.” As PiS spokesperson Rafa\u0142 Bochenek stated, the decision concerns, among others, Mateusz Morawiecki’s Rozw\u00f3j Plus organization and Jacek Sasin’s Po pierwsze Polska. Their members had seven days to resign from the organizations’ ranks.<\/p>\n
Sasin’s association subordinated itself to the will of the party authorities. However, Morawiecki announced that Rozw\u00f3j Plus would continue its activities.<\/p>\n
At midnight from Thursday to Friday (July 24), the deadline of the ultimatum set by the PiS leadership for parliamentarians to submit declarations of non-membership in associations expired. Failure to submit such a declaration was to result in expulsion from the party.<\/p>\n
On Friday (July 24) at noon, PiS leader Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski announced that “thirty-odd MPs resigned from membership” in the party. He added that the decision “will be confirmed” next week by the PiS Political Committee.<\/p>\n
Shortly afterwards, Morawiecki specified that 40 MPs, a senator, and three MEPs belong to Rozw\u00f3j Plus. He did not want to talk for now about plans to create a new club or a new party. “We must discuss all plans. Do not ask about a club today, do not ask about a party,” the former prime minister said briefly.<\/p>\n
Technically, however, Morawiecki will be able to create a new parliamentary club\u201415 people are enough for that\u2014as well as field his own candidate for the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm.<\/p>\n
Morawiecki argued that until the very end he wanted to act within PiS and based on the “two lungs” strategy of the party. He also stated that “he is one of the most loyal members of Law and Justice.”<\/p>\n
On Friday (July 24), Kaczy\u0144ski said on Republika television that during a direct conversation with Morawiecki, he offered him the position of prime minister. As he reported, the politician replied that he perfectly understands where power comes from, and his ambition is to take over the party.<\/p>\n
The PiS leader also stressed that Jacek Sasin immediately dissolved his association. “If Mateusz Morawiecki had also done this, he would be a very important today\u2014I will say it again: very important, more than very important\u2014name in our party, and of course one of those who at the moment when I leave could be serious candidates to replace me,” Kaczy\u0144ski stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
