Law and Justice party split as Morawiecki allies quit

On 24‑25 July 2026 the leadership of Poland’s Law and Justice (PiS) set a deadline for members of the Rozwój Plus association to sign a declaration that they did not belong to any external political organisation. Those who refused – about thirty‑three deputies, a senator and three MEPs linked to former prime‑minister Mateusz Morawiecki – were deemed to have resigned from PiS. Party leader Jarosław Kaczyński announced the departures on 24 July and said the PiS political committee would confirm the resignations at its meeting on 28 July.

Morawiecki said Rozwój Plus still counts about 40 deputies, one senator and three euro‑parliamentarians and pledged to keep the association active. The dispute has spilled onto television, with heated exchanges on TV Republika and a split‑screen broadcast showing Kaczyński opposite Civic Coalition politicians eating popcorn. Accusations have been exchanged between Kaczyński, Jacek Kurski, and Morawiecki’s allies, underscoring a deepening rift within the party as Poland heads toward next year’s parliamentary elections.
