Spectacular split in Poland's right: Morawiecki breaks with Kaczyński to build rival force
Poland's once-dominant Law and Justice party (PiS) has fractured, with former PM Mateusz Morawiecki parting ways with longtime leader Jarosław Kaczyński and preparing to establish a competing right-wing group.
A major shift has occurred in Polish politics: the formerly dominant Law and Justice party (PiS) has split. Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has broken with longtime leader Jarosław Kaczyński and is planning to create a rival force on the right.
The rupture comes ahead of the 2027 elections. Analysts are examining whether this internal crisis could benefit current Prime Minister Donald Tusk by weakening the opposition. The developments also matter in Brussels, where Morawiecki leads the European Conservatives and Reformists party (ECR) in the European Parliament.
In addition to the Polish political news, the source mentions other issues. Belgium's Charleroi Airport is scheduled to close for several months in 2028, affecting more than 10 million annual passengers, thousands of workers, and airline Ryanair. Meanwhile, Brussels prepares to add Montenegrin as the EU's 25th official language as Montenegro moves closer to membership.
