This weakness in the polls is likely to be exacerbated by the split, as conservative and nationalist voters will now be divided among Kaczy\u0144ski\u2019s party, two far-right formations and Morawiecki\u2019s group, which is seen as the most moderate of the pack.<\/p>\n
Despite the rupture on the right, though, Tusk\u2019s Civic Coalition could still struggle to build a coalition that will be bigger than the combined forces of the right. <\/p>\n
The immediate confrontation inside PiS began on July 15, when the leadership ordered members to leave associations conducting political activity and submit declarations by midnight July 23.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Members who refused faced expulsion. Morawiecki and his backers spent the countdown to the deadline assuring media their future lay within PiS and that their goal was to broaden the party\u2019s appeal to voters outside the core radical right-wing demographic.<\/p>\n
Kaczy\u0144ski selected hardline former Education Minister Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek as the party\u2019s candidate for prime minister in March, apparently sidelining Morawiecki and his strategy of rebuilding support among centrist and business-oriented voters.<\/p>\n
Morawiecki created his association, known as Rozw\u00f3j Plus (Development Plus), in mid-April. He has presented it as a platform for economic, technological and demographic policy rather than a future party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This weakness in the polls is likely to be exacerbated by the split, as conservative and nationalist voters…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[14745,14746,64,264,362,963,419,3583,1091,365,528,597,9,420,529,421],"class_list":["post-24155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-donald-tusk","tag-2025-polish-presidency","tag-demographics","tag-donald-tusk","tag-education","tag-elections","tag-jaroslaw-kaczynski","tag-karol-nawrocki","tag-lgbtq","tag-mateusz-morawiecki","tag-media","tag-parliament","tag-platforms","tag-poland","tag-polish-politics","tag-rights","tag-rule-of-law"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/poland\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
