Maciej Berek’s unexpected departure has raised questions about whether Donald Tusk is preparing to reshape his government ahead of the final year before the election.
Four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion transformed Polish-Ukrainian relations, old historical disputes are resurfacing alongside new tensions over migration and integration.
A year into his presidency, Karol Nawrocki has become the most active veto-wielding president in Poland’s history. But the lasting consequence of his first 12 months may not be his battles with the government—it may be the political realignment taking place within the right-wing camp.
Grzegorz Braun wants members of Poland’s uniformed services to run on his party’s electoral lists, promising candidates a prominent place in every Sejm constituency. Critics warn that the move risks undermining the political neutrality of the military and state security services.
A Russian cruise missile that entered Polish airspace has reignited questions about the country's preparedness for security threats. Security expert Przemysław Mazur argues that the greatest failure was not the air-defense response itself, but the breakdown in public warning and crisis communication.
The launch of Rozwój Plus brought together more than 1,000 people from across Poland's political spectrum, signalling Mateusz Morawiecki's attempt to build a broader coalition beyond the traditional Law and Justice base. The challenge now is to turn early enthusiasm into a durable political project.
Mateusz Morawiecki's breakaway caucus has already triggered a new contest in the Sejm: for the new deputy speaker. As multiple parliamentary groups position themselves for a place in the chamber's leadership, the governing coalition will have to decide whether to accommodate the opposition's growing fragmentation—or preserve its own institutional advantage.
Mateusz Morawiecki has transformed an internal party feud into an open contest for the leadership of Poland's conservative camp. By launching a separate parliamentary caucus, he has stripped Law and Justice (PiS) of its status as the Sejm's largest grouping and set off a battle over political legitimacy, electoral support, and control of the right ahead of the next election.
An ultimatum has ended weeks of political confrontation. Mateusz Morawiecki and his allies are leaving Law and Justice (PiS) to create their own political vehicle.
