Intense consultations are underway in the Law and Justice (PiS) camp regarding the nomination of a candidate for the future head of government. Party chairman Jarosław Kaczyński is increasingly leaning towards the president of Stalowa Wola, Lucjusz Nadbereżny. This choice, publicly supported by Przemysław Czarnek, is intended to be a new offer for voters, based on local government success. At the same time, an internal conflict is growing between the party leadership and the faction of Mateusz Morawiecki, deepening uncertainty within the ranks of the largest opposition party.

The internal situation in Law and Justice is entering a decisive phase ahead of a planned policy offensive. The main point of contention has become the selection of a candidate for prime minister, who is to lead the party into the next elections. Jarosław Kaczyński, making decisions in the quiet of his office on Nowogrodzka Street, is increasingly pointing to local government officials as the new face of the party. Among potential candidates, Lucjusz Nadbereżny, president of Stalowa Woli, holds the strongest position, backed staunchly by Przemysław Czarnek. The former education minister is promoting the concept of a "triumvirate of success," which would also include Mariusz Krystian and Jarosław Kwasek. This new strategy aims to distance the party from the image of a government burdened by difficult past decisions and to bet on proven local leaders. Tensions in the party are exacerbated by the stance of Mateusz Morawiecki, whose recent actions have been criticized by Przemysław Czarnek as causing unnecessary confusion. This conflict is visible in the frequent summons of the former prime minister to disciplinary talks with the PiS chairman. Meanwhile, on the right flank, serious competition is emerging in the form of the Confederation, particularly the faction of Grzegorz Braun, which according to some poll analyses is gaining at the expense of PiS's traditional electorate. Jarosław Kaczyński himself must face accusations of breaking promises, which even the party's declared voters notice in the latest public opinion polls. The situation is complicated by the fact that the ruling camp, despite poll declines, is trying to regain the initiative through deregulatory and tax projects. In the history of the Third Polish Republic, the selection of a prime ministerial candidate "from the second tier" has often proven to be an effective political maneuver, as exemplified by the nomination of Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz in 2005 or Beata Szydło in 2015.The government of Donald Tusk has recently adopted a draft amendment to the Tax Ordinance, which is to introduce significant facilitations for taxpayers. A key element of the reform is the expansion of the institution of tacit consent in administration. The changes will also include access to individual interpretations regarding local taxes, which are now to be entered into the nationwide Eureka IT database. Minister Tomasz Siemoniak and police chief Marek Boroń, in turn, point to the necessity of reforms in the security sector, including the establishment of a National Investigation Bureau.
