Poland: The end of the Kaczynski era: The power of Poland's shadow ruler is waning
With his radical stance and claim to leadership, Jaroslaw Kaczynski has controlled Poland's right-wing camp for a quarter of a century. This could now change - of his own making.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski's national-conservative party, Recht und Gerechtigkeit (PiS), is experiencing a decline in popularity, with some polls showing support below 20 percent. This follows the departure of a moderate faction led by former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. Despite this, the right-wing bloc's chances for the election in over a year do not appear to have worsened, with opposition parties still heading for a clear majority against Donald Tusk's government coalition. Kaczynski's influence is waning as the party field becomes increasingly fragmented.
