Zbigniew Ziobro and politicians from Sovereign Poland expressed the need to maintain independence and have a party that would resist EU pressure, but despite their move to PiS, Ziobro has not dissolved either of his parties.
Zbigniew Ziobro, along with members of his party, Sovereign Poland, has emphasized the importance of political independence from the European Union and the necessity of having a party that can resist external influences. Recently, at a congress in Przysucha, many so-called 'Ziobrysts' switched their allegiance to the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS). However, despite this shift, Ziobro has not taken steps to dissolve either Sovereign Poland or his other party, Solidarna Polska.
Reports confirm that both parties remain registered entities, with Ziobro still listed as their president. This raises questions about the rationale behind maintaining these parties despite his members' movement to PiS. The National Electoral Commission (PKW) has been monitoring the financial reports of both parties, which have raised some concerns, particularly after rejecting their financial statements for 2024. Sovereign Poland has also reportedly bypassed specific funding regulations associated with electoral funds.
The lack of response from Solidarna Polska regarding inquiries from PKW and concerns surrounding the low income of both parties reveal a complex situation for Ziobro. Their combined income appears minimal, which begs the question of the purpose behind keeping these parties active and what role they might still play in Polish politics going forward, particularly given the recent changes in political affiliations within the context of parliamentary pressures.
