Ryszard Terlecki, a veteran Polish politician and longtime member of the Law and Justice (PiS) party, has left the party to join the association Rozwój Plus. Terlecki served PiS for almost two decades and was considered a close associate of party leader Jarosław Kaczyński. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Terlecki praised Kaczyński as the most outstanding politician of the last 35 years. However, he also criticized factions within PiS—those opposing Morawiecki—for steering the party towards defeat. His departure signals internal tensions and potential shifts within the Polish political landscape. The move suggests dissatisfaction with the current trajectory of the party and highlights ongoing power struggles within PiS. Terlecki’s comments are likely to fuel further debate about the future of the conservative party.
