Joachim Brudziński stands as a seasoned politician who has long been associated with PiS, after an earlier stint with the Center Agreement. Within party circles, he is widely regarded as decisive, results-driven, and concrete in his approach, a view echoed by Urszula Rusecka, PiS’s deputy spokesperson and the new head of the party’s electoral staff, in a candid interview on the wPolityce.pl platform.
Simultaneously, Rusecka emphasizes that she does not fault the work of Brudziński’s predecessor, Tomasz Poręba. She explains that leadership changes in the staff reflect different phases in how the team operates, rather than a critique of prior performance. The shift is framed as part of a natural progression in organizing the party’s electoral machinery.
According to Rusecka, staff work unfolds through preparatory stages. She notes that the election date has not been declared yet, describing the current period as a preparatory phase where initial groundwork is laid, followed by a defined campaign once the date is set. In her view, early activities are essential to establish readiness and alignment for the program and outreach that will come later.
She stresses that the transition is about optimizing the process, ensuring there is a clear plan, and aligning teams with the political timeline. The aim is to move from planning to action in a cohesive sequence, with the electoral staff operating in sync with party objectives and messaging all through the lead-up to the vote.
Asked whether Adam Bielan and Marcin Mastalerek’s critiques of Poręba’s leadership influenced the staffing decision, she replies that media commentary should not drive personnel choices. The focus, she says, should remain on substantive work and delivering results, rather than being swayed by public discourse or headlines.
Rusecka reiterates that the emphasis is on delivering tangible progress. The new arrangement is presented as a practical step toward strengthening the campaign’s organizational backbone, ensuring responsibilities are clear, and that the team can execute plans efficiently when the campaign enters the active phase.
There is a sense, she suggests, that leadership transitions at this stage are part of a larger strategy to sharpen electoral effectiveness. The party is intent on maintaining momentum, clarifying roles, and preparing the ground for a focused and well-coordinated campaign operation when the time comes.
