Mateusz Morawiecki expelled from Poland's PiS as party splits

Poland’s ruling‑turned‑opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) is undergoing its deepest internal crisis in years. Party leader Jarosław Kaczyński issued an ultimatum demanding all members sign a loyalty declaration and abandon the Morawiecki‑linked association Rozwój Plus. More than 30 MPs, a senator and three euro‑parliamentarians refused, prompting Kaczyński to announce their expulsion and the removal of former prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki from the party and from the presidency of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Group.

Morawiecki’s faction, dubbed “Development Plus”, claims roughly 40 parliamentary deputies, one senator and three MEPs. Internal polls suggest any new party built around Morawiecki would struggle to pass the 5 % electoral threshold, with support ranging from 2 % to about 6 %. The split has split the right‑wing electorate ahead of the 2027 parliamentary election, weakening PiS’s chances of regaining power.

The crisis has also drawn comments from other parties and regional politicians, who see the fragmentation as a potential boon for the governing coalition of Donald Tusk. The internal rift could reshape the Polish opposition landscape in the months to come.
