Former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has publicly declared his intention to stay within the Law and Justice (PiS) party, stating, "This is my place." His declaration aims to quell internal speculation and reinforce his commitment to the "patriotic camp."

I am in PiS. I want to be in our team and in our patriotic camp.

— Mateusz MorawieckiThe former prime minister affirmed his commitment to the party.

Przemysław Czarnek, a prominent PiS figure and candidate for prime minister, welcomed Morawiecki's statement. "Mateusz Morawiecki wants to be in PiS, which I am very happy about," Czarnek said. He stressed the importance of a unified PiS, even with internal differences, asserting that "One PiS with different currents is needed for Poland, it is needed for the right."

Mateusz Morawiecki wants to be in PiS, which I am very happy about.

— Przemysław CzarnekA PiS politician welcomed Morawiecki's statement.

Czarnek explained that PiS has never been monolithic, with members holding diverse views. However, he believes a shared foundation of patriotism, democracy, rule of law, economic development, and human rights unites them. He indicated that compromises on individual politicians' activities might occur soon but warned against actions that could threaten the party's finances.

One PiS with different currents is needed for Poland, it is needed for the right.

— Przemysław CzarnekCzarnek emphasized the importance of party unity despite internal differences.

The PiS leadership has issued an ultimatum, requiring party members to leave political associations that operate within the party structure, such as Morawiecki's "Rozwój Plus" association. This directive, carrying the threat of expulsion, aims to prevent potential financial issues, including the loss of state subsidies. The deadline for compliance is July 23. While some, like MP Jacek Sasin, have already dissolved their associations, Morawiecki has expressed a desire to continue his association's work alongside his PiS membership.

PiS is people who have different views on various matters, but they are united by one common foundation of patriotism, democracy, rule of law, economic development, human rights, and above all freedom.

— Przemysław CzarnekCzarnek described the unifying principles of the PiS party.
