Split in the Polish PiS Party

174
There is a big political fight in Poland. The PiS party breaks apart. The PiS is the largest opposition party. Mateusz Morawiecki leaves the party. He was the prime minister before. About 40 members go with him.

There was a power fight in the party. The opponent of Morawiecki is Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Kaczynski is the boss of the PiS. The 2 men had different plans. Kaczynski wants to make the party more right. He wants to win voters from radical parties.

Morawiecki wanted to make the party more modern. He wanted to speak to voters in the middle. He founded his own group in the party. Kaczynski demanded absolute loyalty from all members. Morawiecki did not want to sign the paper for it. Therefore he must leave the party.

The PiS was very powerful for a long time. It ruled Poland from 2015 to 2023. Now it loses its status as the largest group in parliament. Government boss Donald Tusk mocks the fight. Experts say: Kaczynski loses control over his party.
