Source material: Confusion in PiS. Kaczyński strikes at Morawiecki's initiative

Summary

Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of PiS, has stated that those who participate in Mateusz Morawiecki's new political association will not be included on the party's electoral lists, highlighting the party's commitment to its statutes. The PiS leadership considers Morawiecki's initiative a threat to party unity and has deemed it incompatible with regulations that prohibit involvement in other political organizations. Some PiS members argue for the necessity of expanding the party's electoral base, noting a drop in support from around 35% in 2020 to approximately 25% currently. A suggested compromise involves creating an expert council within PiS as an alternative to Morawiecki's association, aimed at enhancing party debate and engagement while adhering to party rules.
