Split in the PiS party in Poland

205
There is trouble in the PiS party in Poland. The PiS is the largest opposition party. More than 30 members leave the party now. One reason is the fight between Jarosław Kaczyński and Mateusz Morawiecki. Kaczyński is the boss of the PiS. He wants a very right course. Morawiecki was head of government before. He wants to make the party more modern. He wants to win more voters in the center.

Kaczyński gave the members an ultimatum. They had to sign a loyalty paper. This means: They may not have their own groups in the party. Morawiecki and his friends did not want that. They founded the group Development Plus in spring. They wanted to talk about economy and new ideas. Kaczyński did not like that. He sees the group as danger for the unity.

Now the PiS is split. The members did not sign the paper. Because of that they are no longer part of the PiS group. Morawiecki says: He wants to work for Poland further. He wants to talk to new voter groups. The PiS ruled Poland from 2015 to 2023. Since 2023 Donald Tusk is the head of government. The next election in Poland is in the year 2027.
