In this article, Artur Bartkiewicz discusses Jarosław Kaczyński's recent political maneuvering, where he seems to exploit fear of Germany as a tactic to distract the Polish public from growing internal strife within his party. Recent conflicts have arisen between factions within the ruling party, the Law and Justice party (PiS), particularly between supporters of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and a dissident group associated with the former Sovereign Poland movement. As tensions escalate, Kaczyński's threat to discipline his party members highlights the precarious situation of his leadership and the volatility of the intra-party dynamics. The piece posits that Kaczyński's invocation of German fears may not resonate as he anticipates. Citing the solid alliances both Poland and Germany share within NATO and the European Union, the author suggests that using Germany as a political foil could backfire. This suggests a serious miscalculation on Kaczyński's part, given the potential fallout from inflaming sentiments against an ally, especially when Polish-German relations are critical for regional stability. Bartkiewicz concludes that the internal disputes within the party might ultimately prove to be more detrimental to Kaczyński than any external criticisms. As party factions undermine unity, the effectiveness of Kaczyński's distraction tactics could diminish, suggesting that the real challenge he faces is not just from external threats but from the discord brewing within the ranks of his own party. This situation raises questions about the future stability of Kaczyński's leadership and the trajectory of Polish politics.
