Meanwhile, the Rozw\u00f3j Plus association was intended to appeal to more centrist voters as the &#8220;second lung of PiS.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Potential Future Cooperation and Ultimatum Deadline<\/h4>\n<p>The politician did not rule out future cooperation with PiS, including a joint list in parliamentary elections and a potential coalition government attempt.<\/p>\n<p>At midnight between July 23 and 24, a deadline set by the PiS leadership for parliamentarians expired, requiring them to declare under threat of expulsion that they did not belong to associations carrying out political activities in response to Morawiecki founding Rozw\u00f3j Plus.<\/p>\n<h4>Disciplinary Actions and Formation of Rozw\u00f3j Plus Club<\/h4>\n<p>PiS leader Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski stated that politicians who refused to sign had resigned from party membership, though the PiS Political Committee later referred unsubmitted statements to party discipline spokesperson Karol Karski rather than immediately expelling the members.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Rozw\u00f3j Plus politicians registered a separate parliamentary club at the end of July consisting of 40 MPs, making it the third largest in the Sejm, led by Morawiecki with \u0141ukasz Schreiber as deputy chair.<\/p>\n<p>The club includes MPs Janusz Cieszy\u0144ski, Marcin Hora\u0142a, Pawe\u0142 Jab\u0142o\u0144ski, \u0141ukasz Kmita, Maria Koc, Anna Kwiecie\u0144, Marzena Macha\u0142ek, Monika Paw\u0142owska, Olga Semeniuk-Patkowska, \u0141ukasz Schreiber, Miros\u0142awa Stachowiak-R\u00f3\u017cecka, Krzysztof Szczucki, Szymon Szynkowski vel S\u0119k, Ryszard Terlecki, Sylwester Tu\u0142ajew, and Senator W\u0142odzimierz Bernacki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rozw\u00f3j Plus MP Ryszard Terlecki revealed in a radio interview that internal tensions, constant complaints, and moves against Mateusz Morawiecki triggered the recent split within Law and Justice.
