Kosiniak-Kamysz Reaffirms Ukraine Support Priority as PiS Party Splits.

Law and Justice Party Experiences Internal Rupture

According to Espreso.tv: The ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has expelled former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki along with approximately 36 lawmakers, marking a significant fracture. The deadline for signing a declaration disavowing ties with "politically active" groups within PiS passed at midnight Thursday into Friday. As a result, the party's representation in the 460-seat parliament will drop to between 140 and 145 deputies. Party leader Jarosław Kaczyński stated that "everyone knew they had to sign and what the consequences would be." Kosiniak-Kamysz, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister from the coalition Polish People's Party (PSL), commented on the situation, stressing the continued importance of supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia. He expressed pride that Poland is aiding Ukraine despite the party's internal turmoil.

Kosiniak-Kamysz further noted that internal party issues should not overshadow critical international commitments.

"Honestly, I'm not really concerned about the situation in PiS," he said.

Ukraine Crisis and International Obligations

The split within PiS could have serious repercussions for Poland's political stability, especially at a time when the country is actively supporting Ukraine against aggression. The loss of a substantial bloc of lawmakers may hamper the passage of key legislation and decisions, not only on domestic policy but also on foreign affairs, particularly relations with Ukraine and broader regional security dynamics.
