Kaczyński Signals Pause in Government as PiS Focuses on Pre-Election Readiness

Poland’s political landscape continues to shift as Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of the ruling party, has long signaled that his role in government would pause once the work on defending the homeland reached a concrete milestone. This statement, echoed by Vice-President of the Sejm and PiS club chair Ryszard Terlecki, pointed to a future where party structures would take center stage during the pre-election period. Terlecki noted that it remains unclear whether Kaczyński plans to step away from political life altogether, highlighting the ongoing dynamics within PiS as preparations for upcoming elections begin in earnest. He also mentioned the early stage of the party’s preparations, underscoring the leadership’s focus on the pre-election agenda rather than a broader retirement from public life.
