The party&#8217;s Political Committee is set to approve Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski&#8217;s decision on Tuesday, while the former prime minister has already announced his next steps.<\/p>\n<p>The party&#8217;s Political Committee will finalize the exclusion of over 30 parliamentarians who joined the association founded by Morawiecki, marking another chapter in the ongoing political earthquake within PiS.<\/p>\n<h4>Ultimatum and Ultimatum Expiry<\/h4>\n<p>The massive shock began the previous Friday, following a Thursday midnight deadline set by the PiS leadership for members to sign a declaration confirming non-membership in associations with political activities under threat of expulsion, specifically targeting Morawiecki&#8217;s group.<\/p>\n<p>After politicians failed to sign the loyalty pledge, PiS leader Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski stated that the group had relinquished their party membership by refusing to sign, with the Political Committee scheduling a vote to approve these decisions on Tuesday at 5:00 PM.<\/p>\n<h4>Differing Perspectives on Membership Status<\/h4>\n<p>Politicians tied to Morawiecki emphasize that they did not resign from PiS and that the declaration did not concern party membership. Morawiecki and his allies claim that &#8220;schemers&#8221; are attempting to push them out of the party.<\/p>\n<p>Morawiecki announced on Monday evening that a meeting of the &#8220;Rozw\u00f3j Plus&#8221; association would take place following the PiS Political Committee session, stating that if removed from PiS, they would form a new parliamentary club.<\/p>\n<h4>Parliamentary Math and Changing Loyalties<\/h4>\n<p>A parliamentary club in the Sejm requires at least 15 MPs, while the current Law and Justice parliamentary club consists of 186 MPs. Morawiecki stated last Friday that his faction includes 40 MPs, a senator, and three MEPs.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, politicians connected to Morawiecki&#8217;s association reported that MP Grzegorz Lorek had departed the group after signing the declaration required by PiS leadership, a move previously confirmed on X by PiS spokesperson Rafa\u0142 Bochenek and corroborated by Lorek himself.<\/p>\n<h4>Procedure of Exclusion and Committee Dynamics<\/h4>\n<p>According to sources close to the party, the approval of the expulsions will occur via a vote and resolution, which Political Committee member Karol Karski noted will determine whether membership continues or has already expired under party statutes.<\/p>\n<p>The PiS Political Committee comprises over 50 members, including vice-presidents like Morawiecki, as well as association members Ryszard Terlecki, Krzysztof Lipiec, and Marzena Macha\u0142ek. Morawiecki stated last week that he had not planned to attend Tuesday&#8217;s session and had not received an invitation.<\/p>\n<p>A PiS politician on the Political Committee noted that if association members attend Tuesday&#8217;s meeting, they will be required to leave the proceedings after the resolution concerning them is adopted.<\/p>\n<p>Under PiS statutes, party membership can cease due to membership in an organization whose goals contradict PiS principles, ideological foundations, program, or interests, or through active support of such an organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PiS Political Committee is set to officially expel over 30 politicians who joined Mateusz Morawiecki\u2019s &#8220;Rozw\u00f3j Plus&#8221; association, prompting the former prime minister to plan a new parliamentary club.
