The article discusses increasing tensions within Poland's ruling party, Law and Justice (PiS), focusing on a potential split among its factions. Recent polls show that nearly 40% of Poles believe the party may fracture, primarily revolving around key figures like former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who reportedly is assessing support for an exodus from the party. Meanwhile, party leader Jarosław Kaczyński is actively seeking to quell rising dissent and unify the party amidst these precarious dynamics.

Morawiecki’s faction, commonly referred to as the 'harcerzy' (scouts), is reportedly engaged in a nationwide assessment of local party members to gauge the potential for support if he were to leave PiS. The ramifications of such a split could significantly alter Poland's political landscape, pushing PiS either towards extreme far-right ideologies or providing a more centrist approach, as discussed by editor Michał Szułdrzyński in his commentary.

The internal struggle reflects broader questions about the party's identity and direction, with the potential split highlighting deep ideological divides. The growing discontent and uncertainty could pave the way for shifts in Poland's political dynamics, challenging the established order that PiS has maintained since coming to power, and potentially laying groundwork for emerging political alternatives.
