A recent trust poll has highlighted a significant challenge for Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, with prominent figures like Przemysław Czarnek and Jarosław Kaczyński topping the list of politicians least trusted by the public.
Commentator Michał Płociński suggests that the current situation, where Czarnek is seemingly competing with Grzegorz Braun for the distinction of being the most distrusted politician, indicates a potential strategic shift for PiS. Płociński wryly observes that if the party's aim was to transform into something akin to Konfederacja, the process is unfolding "perfectly."
The article also touches upon the future leadership and personnel within the PiS party. The author recalls past assurances from supporters of Jarosław Kaczyński, who claimed that PiS possessed a strong lineup of "young and capable" individuals, unlike the Civic Coalition (KO). However, the current poll results seem to cast doubt on the effectiveness of this strategy, with names like Janusz Cieszyński, Krzysztof Szczucki, Piotr Müller, and Michał Dworczyk now being mentioned in a different light.
