Former collaborator of Kaczyński on the "trauma" of the PiS president. "He still pays a high price today"
A former associate of Jarosław Kaczyński discusses the challenges the PiS president faces in choosing a candidate for Prime Minister, warning that internal conflicts may arise from his approach.
In a recent statement aired on Radio Maryja, Jarosław Kaczyński, the president of the Law and Justice party (PiS), confirmed that he has already selected a candidate for the position of Prime Minister, although he did not disclose the name. Andrzej Anusz, a former collaborator and one of the founders of Kaczyński's first political party, Porozumienie Centrum, expressed concerns about Kaczyński's strategy. He suggested that rather than presenting multiple competing candidates, which could create internal party conflicts, Kaczyński should focus on easing tensions within the party by delegating responsibilities to various politicians in preparation for the future government.
Anusz further speculated that the Prime Minister candidate would need to be aligned with President Nawrocki, indicating that unity will be crucial for the PiS, especially if they wish to regain power. He emphasized that the party's return to a majority rule is increasingly unlikely due to various challenges, including demographic shifts that could affect their voter base. Anusz's comments reflect deeper concerns about Kaczyński's leadership style and the future of the PiS party in the context of Polish politics.
The implications of this internal tension and the upcoming decision on the Prime Minister candidate are significant as they could not only affect the future of PiS but also shape the broader political landscape in Poland. Anusz's advice for Kaczyński to assign clear roles to politicians within his party and to seek cooperation with other factions, like Konfederacja, may be seen as essential for repairing divisions and presenting a united front to the electorate.
