The internal discord within Poland’s main opposition party, Law and Justice (PiS), persists following a meeting between party leader Jarosław Kaczyński and former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. Despite hopes for progress, the discussions did not lead to a resolution of the ongoing divisions plaguing the party.
In the aftermath of the talks, PiS Member of the European Parliament Piotr Müller announced that his faction had put forward 21 compromise proposals. These proposals were crafted with the intention of resolving the internal strife and rebuilding trust within the party. Müller emphasized that the suggestions underscored the group’s goodwill, loyalty, and dedication to fortifying the centre-right political alliance.
Müller also defended the Rozwój Plus association, clarifying its purpose as expanding support for the centre-right and attracting new voters. He addressed concerns about the organization’s funding, noting that legal opinions had been sought to ensure transparency and compliance.
While expressing a desire to find common ground, Müller firmly opposed the concept of signing loyalty pledges or declarations, which he described as degrading. He stressed the importance of PiS maintaining its identity as a broad political movement that prioritizes policy development and electoral success over internal disputes.
