Law and Justice is preparing for a key political event: the announcement of its candidate for prime minister. The party's spokesman, Rafał Bochenek, officially confirmed that the name will be presented on March 7. This decision is being made in an atmosphere of internal tensions, which politicians like Ryszard Czarnecki have mentioned, warning about the negative perception of party disputes by voters. President Karol Nawrocki, commenting on these reports, expressed confidence that the chosen person will be substantively better than the current head of government, Donald Tusk. Backchannel information suggests that the party is looking for a 'flawless' candidate representing the young generation of activists. The tradition of opposition parties in Poland announcing candidates for prime minister aims to build the image of a 'shadow cabinet' and readiness to take over the reins of the state at any point during the term. In the economic sector, the most important news is the appointment of Marcin Celejewski as the president of Grupa Azoty. The new board, which includes specialists from Puławy and Police, announced immediate commencement of work and implementation of a recovery plan. Restructuring is necessary due to the company's difficult financial situation, which has temporarily halted accepting new orders for fertilizers. This immediately raised concerns among farmers about a potential sharp increase in prices of chemical products for agriculture in the upcoming season. „Kandydat PiS na premiera zostanie ogłoszony 7 marca.” (The PiS candidate for prime minister will be announced on March 7.) — Rafał Bochenek Simultaneously, President Karol Nawrocki addressed the issue of term limits in local governments, noting that his position on this matter will not affect the current legal situation. In the local sphere, a significant event was the appointment of the president of Stalowa Wola, Lucjusz Nadbereżny, as Chairman of the Council of Local Government at the President of the Republic of Poland. All these events indicate an intensification of actions by the conservative camp in both personal and institutional areas, in the face of approaching electoral and economic challenges. Grupa Azoty, as one of the key strategic entities of the Polish economy, has been struggling for years with profitability fluctuations dependent on natural gas prices on global markets. „Whoever it is, they will be a better prime minister than Donald Tusk” — Karol Nawrocki
