Krzysztof Żochowski resigns from Law and Justice party

Krzysztof Żochowski, a long-time member of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship Sejmik and director of a healthcare facility in Garwolin, has resigned from the Law and Justice (PiS) party. In a social media statement, Żochowski claimed that the party he originally joined no longer exists, citing a fundamental shift in its character.

He identified two primary reasons for his departure: local organizational issues and the national state of the party. Locally, he criticized the actions of MP Grzegorz Woźniak regarding election lists for the Garwolin County Council and the governance of County Starost Iwona Kurowska. He noted that his previous protests regarding these matters received no effective response from party leadership.

On a national level, Żochowski cited a perceived lack of programmatic substance, an inability to address modern challenges, and an atmosphere of constant internal conflict and disputes. He stated that a party unable to manage the unacceptable actions of its officials loses its legitimacy to seek power.
