Tomasz Rzymkowski joining Konfederacja parliamentary club

Overview

Tomasz Rzymkowski, a member of the Sejm from the Łódź Voivodeship, has officially joined the Konfederacja parliamentary club. Rzymkowski, a lawyer and former Secretary of State in the Ministry of Education and Science, transitioned from the Direct Democracy circle to become the 17th member of the Konfederacja group.

Rzymkowski aligned himself with the Nowa Nadzieja faction led by Sławomir Mentzen, citing his ongoing collaboration with Mentzen on judicial reform programs. He stated his intention to help establish Konfederacja as a leading force for the Polish right.

The transfer follows months of negotiations and is expected to shift the internal balance of power within the club. Previously split evenly between New Hope and Krzysztof Bosak’s National Movement, the arrival of Rzymkowski provides the New Hope faction with a numerical advantage. This move has reportedly caused internal friction, with members of the National Movement expressing concerns regarding potential dominance by the New Hope faction.
