🇵🇱 Poland's main right-wing opposition party is eating itself alive, and the timing could not be worse… Law and Justice (PiS), which ruled Poland from 2015-2023, has collapsed from 32% in the polls to 24% in just 8 months. The governing liberal coalition under PM Donald Tusk sits comfortably at 35%. Externally, PiS is being squeezed from the right by the Konfederacja party at 15% and monarchist Grzegorz Braun's even more radical group at 9%. Internally, former PM Mateusz Morawiecki has built a formal parallel structure inside the party with around 40 MPs that the leadership says violates party rules. The divide is between the hardline ideological base who want to double down on cultural conservatism and the modernizing technocratic wing around Morawiecki who want to broaden the party's appeal to younger voters. Both sides are now maneuvering to destroy each other before the 2027 election. The glue holding it all together has always been party founder Jarosław Kaczyński, whose weakening grip is allowing rivalries that were previously managed privately to explode publicly. Neither side actually wants a split right now, but Polish politics, like politics everywhere, is increasingly driven by raw hostility that overrides rational calculation. This situation is not only a gift to Poland’s left, but a potential problem for the broader conservative European project, at a time when the continent needs them the most.
