Split in Law and Justice and Resignations in Szymon Hołownia's Party

The situation within Law and Justice has reached a critical point following the decision by party leader Jarosław Kaczyński to refer former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and MP Mirosława Stachowiak-Różecka to the party's ethics committee. Analysts interpret this move as an attempt to discipline internal opposition and curb the influence of the moderate faction, which is increasingly boldly contesting the leadership's line. The atmosphere is further heated by reports of a planned announcement on March 7th of PiS's candidate for prime minister, intended to be the party's new political offer. Simultaneously, speculation is emerging regarding the future of President Karol Nawrocki, towards whom the mother party may be making increasingly far-reaching demands for loyalty. The institution of a party court or ethics committee in the Polish party system often serves as a tool for removing internal competitors ahead of key elections or statutory changes. An equally dynamic situation prevails in the ruling camp, specifically in the Poland 2050 party. The party was left by one of its deputy ministers, triggering a wave of commentary about the progressive disintegration of Szymon Hołownia's formation. In parliamentary corridors, there is talk of growing disappointment with the stance of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who, according to some politicians of the Third Way, is not fulfilling previously made coalition commitments. An additional destabilizing factor is the establishment of a new association by Paulina Hennig-Kloska, which some coalition members, like MP Romowicz, assess as building structures directly dependent on the head of government, rather than on the mother party. This conflict touches on matters fundamental to the cabinet's durability. Multiparty coalitions in Poland, dating back to the 1990s, are characterized by cyclical crises over the division of influence in state-owned companies and the filling of deputy minister positions. Against the backdrop of these disputes, diplomatic activity stands out. The Marshal of the Sejm, during a visit to Kyiv, assured Poland's unwavering support for Ukraine, which was received positively in the Verkhovna Rada. However, public debate in the country remains focused on controversies. The exposé of Minister Radosław Sikorski, although substantive, became the subject of attacks by the opposition, which accuses him of leading a "party of winding down Poland." The presence of political content on atypical platforms came as a surprise, which some commentators see as a desperate attempt to reach the youngest electorate in an era of declining trust in traditional state institutions. This situation, combined with announcements of court proceedings between politicians, points to a brutalization of public life. „Jeżeli ktoś mnie atakuje, zawsze będę odpłacał pięknym za nadobne” (If someone attacks me, I will always repay in kind) — Jarosław Kaczyński

Perspektywy mediów: Liberal media emphasize the disintegration of PiS and the marginalization of Morawiecki as an opportunity for the modernization of the right. Conservative media focus on the purges in Poland 2050 and the alleged betrayal of coalition partners by Donald Tusk.
