Marcin Horała elected Vice-Marshal of the Sejm

Sejm election Rozwój Plus Marcin Horała PiS split Polish politics

Marcin Horała of the Rozwój Plus club has been elected Vice-Marshal of the Sejm, defeating Law and Justice (PiS) candidate Marcin Ociepa in a vote of 254 to 167. The election, involving 428 deputies, marks a significant political shift following the split of the United Right, as the Rozwój Plus group, led by Mateusz Morawiecki, successfully secured a position in the Sejm Presidium.

Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of PiS, criticized the outcome, accusing Morawiecki of breaking the party to initiate talks with Donald Tusk's coalition. Conversely, Rozwój Plus members defended the election as a move toward parliamentary representation for all clubs. As a first initiative, the Rozwój Plus club has announced plans to submit a motion to dismiss Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration Marcin Kierwiński, citing concerns over public warning systems and political responsibility.

In related developments, Mateusz Morawiecki stated that Rozwój Plus intends to propose solutions to resolve the ongoing crisis surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal, describing the current legal situation as a state of chaos. Additionally, polling indicates that 56.9% of respondents view Morawiecki's departure from PiS to form Rozwój Plus positively.
