Efforts to resolve internal conflicts within Poland’s leading opposition party, Law and Justice (PiS), have hit a stalemate as a meeting between the party’s leader, Jarosław Kaczyński, and former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki concluded without any significant progress. Despite ongoing divisions, PiS remains committed to finding common ground among its members.
After the meeting, PiS MEP Piotr Müller outlined that the party had put forward 21 compromise proposals to address the internal strife and foster unity. According to Müller, these suggestions were designed to demonstrate the party’s dedication to goodwill, loyalty, and strengthening the centre-right political alliance. He emphasized the importance of these proposals in rebuilding trust among party members.
Müller also defended the establishment of the Rozwój Plus association, an initiative aimed at broadening the support base for the centre-right and attracting new voters. He reassured that concerns regarding the financing of the organization had been thoroughly examined through legal assessments, aiming to dispel any doubts about its financial practices.
While Müller expressed a readiness to work towards an agreement, he firmly opposed the notion of signing loyalty pledges or declarations that he perceived as demeaning. He stressed the importance of maintaining PiS as a broad political movement that prioritizes policy-making and electoral achievements over internal disputes.
