A generational shift is underway within Poland’s Law and Justice party (PiS), as politicians in their 30s and 40s prepare to assume key leadership roles. According to Niezalezna.pl, the upcoming party congress on Saturday will mark a significant turning point, with younger members entering the party’s top decision-making bodies.
The congress will take place in Przysucha this Saturday at 12:00 p.m. Alongside the re-election of the party leader, PiS is expected to overhaul its internal structures, opening up influential bodies to a younger generation of politicians. This information was confirmed by party spokesperson Rafał Bochenek in an interview with Niezalezna.pl.
“We want statutory bodies such as the Political Committee and the Executive Committee to include not only seasoned politicians with years of experience, but also younger figures in their 30s and 40s. Many of them already have parliamentary or ministerial experience. New names will join the ranks of party vice-chairmen, and we’ll see fresh faces in both the Political and Executive Committees,” Bochenek said.
Injecting New Energy
All proposed changes will require the approval of the congress delegates. The gathering will bring together 1,500 participants, who will cast their votes to elect the party leader and members of the Political Council.
All signs point to Jarosław Kaczyński remaining party leader. Once elected, the Political Council will go on to select the party’s vice-chairmen, secretary general, treasurer, and members of the Executive and Political Committees.
The planned restructuring is aimed at strengthening PiS, injecting it with new energy and momentum, and preparing the broader political movement for its next challenge—most notably the upcoming parliamentary elections.
“After winning the presidential election, this is a time of joy for our movement, but not of triumphalism. We are fully aware that a great deal of work still lies ahead. Our ultimate goal is victory in the parliamentary elections. This is what Poles expect, and what the Polish raison d’état demands,” Bochenek emphasized.
