The article discusses the evolution and fragmentation of political parties in Poland leading up to 2050, focusing on the historical origins and ideological shifts of major parties such as PO and PiS.
In the article, Zuzanna Dąbrowska analyzes the development and fragmentation of the Polish political landscape since the early 2000s, marked by the creation of the Civic Platform (PO) and the Law and Justice party (PiS). She highlights how PO, originally a grassroots movement led by prominent figures like Donald Tusk, has transformed into a pragmatic ruling party. Despite its origins, PO's identity has diluted significantly over the years, culminating in its official dissolution. On the other hand, PiS has maintained its populist roots while cynically manipulating ideologies for power, showcasing a willingness to cross traditional political lines to achieve its goals.
