A long-standing debate around the future of PiS and the United Right resurfaced as Przemysław Czarnek, a PiS representative, reflected on the party’s trajectory since 2007. He pointed to cycles of renewal within PiS, noting that the party sometimes appears to vanish only to reemerge, a pattern he argued does not undermine the core dynamics of the alliance. During a conversation on Gazeta.pl, he also commented on the friction between PiS and Sovereign Poland, stressing that threats to expel Sovereign Poland from the United Right are unfounded and that political tensions can be managed within the coalition rather than escalate into a breakup. He asserted that he would accompany any ally who seeks to remove Sovereign Poland if such a push ever materialized, a stance he described as a non-existent danger in reality.
The conversation also touched on leadership questions within Law and Justice, with Czarnek signaling that the party should expect a different leadership configuration in the near term, while emphasizing his confidence in Jarosław Kaczyński’s ongoing involvement and energy. He suggested that the natural successor to the party chair would be Mateusz Morawiecki, though he underscored the enduring importance of Kaczyński’s leadership for the movement.
In a separate interview, Czarnek elaborated on why Kaczyński remains central to PiS’s direction, noting that the party would not tolerate internal destabilization and that a strong, active president is essential for unifying the coalition’s approach to governance and policy—the kind of energy he believes only Kaczyński can reliably provide.

Hot heads
The discussion shifted to the heated exchanges between PiS and Sovereign Poland on European Union policy, with Czarnek characterizing the rhetoric as a consequence of an election season filled with strong emotions. He stressed that Sovereign Poland, formerly known as Solidarity Poland, has historically held consistent positions regarding their tactics in the EU, and he cautioned against misreading those positions as evidence of infighting or disloyalty within the United Right.
When asked whether Sovereign Poland should be removed from the United Right, he stated that he had never encountered any deliberate plan to do so. He reiterated that if any faction sought to expel Sovereign Poland, he would stand with them, while also underscoring that the United Right should not be destroyed as a political project. He added that Sovereign Poland would decide its own path if it chose to leave, framing it as an issue of will rather than an external threat. On social media, Czarnek responded to Marek Jakubiak’s remarks about the internal debates within the United Right, reiterating a willingness to engage frankly about potential shifts within the coalition.
P. Cz.: If someone wants to throw SP out of the coalition, I will go with him. Gądek: Is there such a real threat? P. Cz.: No, that’s why I can talk to you about it so freely.
— wrote a PiS parliamentarian on a social platform, signaling the ongoing tensions and the willingness to discuss contentious topics openly within party circles.
