Polish split: Morawiecki leads Rozwój Plus movement

Overview

The split of former prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki from Law and Justice (PiS) has moved from planning to execution. On 30 July 2026, Morawiecki registered the Rozwój Plus parliamentary club, comprising 40 MPs, three MEPs and one senator. Following a leadership ultimatum from Jarosław Kaczyński, the PiS disciplinary body officially expelled Morawiecki, 38 MPs, and two senators on 12 August for a “serious violation of party statutes.” By late September, the movement shifted its organizational strategy. While Morawiecki had previously suggested establishing a formal party by 15 October, lawmaker Robert Gontarz stated the group would prioritize developing an association to engage a broader range of collaborators. Morawiecki later clarified on social media that Rozwój Plus would run independently in next year’s elections, describing a political party as a “tool, not an end in itself.” As the movement establishes its identity, members are distancing themselves from the PiS legacy. MP Waldemar Buda and Morawiecki criticized the judicial reforms of former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, with Buda stating the reforms failed to improve the justice system. Morawiecki also differentiated his economic platform from PiS, advocating for free-market mechanisms over state-led interventionism. In October 2026, Rozwój Plus began detailing specific policy platforms, including eight initiatives for the countryside and energy security through small modular reactors. At a mobilization convention in Warsaw on 17 October, Morawiecki criticized Prime Minister Donald Tusk as a “charlatan” and labeled the Civic Coalition and the Left as “anti-American,” while calling PiS and Confederation “anti-European.” In early November 2026, political tensions escalated as PiS representatives claimed Rozwój Plus support had dropped to a median of 6 to 6.5 percent. MP Robert Gontarz dismissed these claims as a calculated attempt to force members back to PiS, asserting that the movement's trend is stable.
