The ranks of Law and Justice leave the legend, a faithful soldier inactive from the time of the Centre Agreement, Baron Podlasie, Krzysztof Jurgiel, who was everything! Member, Senator, Local Government, Minister and Euro MP! From 1995 to 1998 president of Białystok, associate of the Sejm of six termes: III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII (1997–2003, 2005–2019), Senator of the 5th word (2003–2005), Minister of Agriculture and agrarian improvement in Governments Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz, Beata Szydło and Mateusz Morawiecki (2005–2006, 2015–2018), Eurposal of the 9th word (2019–024).
From 1990 until 1999, Jurgiel was a associate of the Center Agreement, in 2001 joined the Law and Justice, but this adventure had just ended! What happened? A full series of misfortunes and mistakes that CEO Jarosław Kaczyński never forgives. It began with a mediocre consequence in the Podlasie local election, the second PiS bastion after Podkarpacie. There was besides a conflict with Jack Sasin, but the disaster only occurred after Krzysztof Jurgiel ran out of area on the electoral lists for the European Parliament. erstwhile Jurgiel found out about his injury, he was to promise severe revenge, which Jarosław Kaczyński personally described:
He is clearly behind the fact that we lost power in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, and so the consequences had to be drawn. (...) We won in the Sejm, we had the majority, at the last minute it turned out that the majority did not exist. It was payback for Mr Jurgiel not being on the EP list. Besides, he said we'd regret it, and he kept his word. – May 20, 2024, PiS press conference.
Betrayals are not forgiven in any party, so on May 16, 2024 President Jarosław Kaczyński decided to suspend Krzysztof Jurgiel in the rights of a associate of the Law and Justice, but as it turned out it was not the end of the clash. Today, Jurgiel's message appeared in the media, in which this experienced politician throws organization card, after 23 years of membership.
The last days – especially sad for me personally – revealed how the group that was formed more than 30 years ago in the context of the pathology of the political life of that time changed. so with pain and regret, but according to my conscience I leave the organization of the Law and Justice. Until the organization authorities realize this, they will not regain the assurance of most voters. In order to gain a social mandate, the Law and Justice Office must return to its roots – programme work, discussion inside its own camp, beginning to different environments, listening to its activists. (...) This message reflects the deficiency of acceptance of standards of conduct in the Law and Justice Party, which I can no longer accept.
After the parliamentary and local elections in PiS, many shufflings took place, the position was lost by longtime associate of Kaczyński and head of Warsaw structures Krzysztof Sobolewski. Another Europse of PiS, Grzegorz Tobiszewski, was besides suspended due to the fact that he was going to bully his family. There's quite a few evidence that the party's inactive going to last for a while. And I don't think that's the last resignation or suspension in the party. Anyway, a legend leaves the Law and Justice, but Marek Suski is inactive at the station.
We don't believe in anyone, we don't believe in anything! We look at facts and draw conclusions!
