Law and Justice Suffers Split Ahead of Poland’s 2027 Election
EPA/RADEK PIETRUSZKA Following a months-long power struggle, more than 30 MPs – including former prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki – are set to be expelled from the Law and Justice party, in the biggest rupture seen on the Polish right in many years.

The split could sharply reduce PiS’s chances of returning to power in next year’s parliamentary election.
