Poland's Law and Justice party fractures as Morawiecki moves to form rival faction

Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has initiated a formal split from Jarosław Kaczyński's Law and Justice (PiS) party to establish a competing right-wing political entity. This rupture threatens to permanently weaken the primary opposition bloc, potentially consolidating Prime Minister Donald Tusk's governing coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
