Morawiecki did not greet Kaczyński. PiS president: They are an elite, just like I am an NBA basketball player

On Tuesday, the National Security Council convened by President Karol Nawrocki took place regarding the permanent American base in Poland and the conflict around the Constitutional Tribunal. The media noted that former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, currently the leader of Rozwoju Plus, when entering the room, did not greet the president of PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński, and the head of the PiS club, Mariusz Błaszczak. A wp.pl journalist reported that, according to information from Morawiecki's entourage, the politicians greeted each other earlier and talked for a while.

Kaczyński: We don't have such emotions

We didn't actually greet each other, Kaczyński admitted on Thursday when asked about the cold relationship with Morawiecki.

This is an emotional issue, I think, but not on our side, because we don't have such emotions, but on the other side, said the PiS president.

He added that "the other side is somehow dissatisfied with its current situation and directs this dissatisfaction towards PiS." This is strange, because we proposed to Mateusz Morawiecki and his political friends that they can operate within the party and do basically everything they are currently doing as a separate party - said the PiS leader.

“Something very wrong has been done.”

Kaczyński assessed that Rozwoju Plus takes its potential voters only from PiS and if it were not for the split, Law and Justice would have a "very small, but advantage" over the Civic Coalition in the polls.

Something very bad was done here, not from the point of view (only - editor) of our party or even the broader group that supports us, but from the point of view of Poland, because this government (of the current government coalition) is simply a tragedy for Poland - he concluded.

He added that everyone notices it, unless they live in some kind of fairy tale. The question is whether (he doesn't notice - ed.) because he has interests that bind him to this system (the current government - ed.), or whether he is simply guided by some emotions, complexes related to aspirations for social advancement and an illusion that the elite are those who support that party. They are as elite as I am an NBA basketball player, said the PiS president.

At the end of July, politicians associated with Mateusz Morawiecki and his Stowarzyszenie Rozwoju Plus founded a separate parliamentary club. This was the result of rejecting the ultimatum of the PiS leadership, i.e. making a choice between belonging to the association or being expelled from the party.
