The Chairman's criticism. Mastalerek and Ardanowski
In the Law and Justice Party, opinions are increasingly emerging that changing leadership is inevitable. The PiS MP, Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski, expressed this very strongly. Politician claims that Jarosław Kaczyński is “a man who ages and must give power.”
Although the Law and Justice have won the most votes in the parliamentary elections, it is likely that it will not hold power. There is discontent in the party, and more and more politicians are disapproval by the PiS leadership. The head of the Cabinet of the president of Poland, Marcin Mastalerek, was the first to criticize Jarosław Kaczyński, claiming that he should quit politically. We wrote about this case. HERE.
Today the most "anticacist" center seems to be @President

Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski, erstwhile Minister of Agriculture, PiS MP and advisor to president Andrzej Duda, agrees with the conviction of the Mastaler. The politician told “Super Express” that he thought the end of the era of Jarosław Kaczyński was coming. Thus it was time to change power in the party.
PiS cannot be based on Kaczyński, who is an aging man. The president should know that the organization will break up if it's not there. He must prepare a successor or an full collegiate group to manage the Law and Justice. If that is not the case, we will become a marginal political force.
Geriatric Party
Former associate of the cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki stated that the PiS organization must draw a lesson from the elections and face the fact and prepare for further challenges. This message was based on the forthcoming local elections and the European Parliament.
President Andrzej Duda's advisor is of the opinion that Law and Justice is becoming a organization addressed to older people who spend time on the couch. Young people with full energy and fresh ideas should take power in the Law and Justice. We request fresh leaders. The key is to change the full organization board.
– We cannot become a geriatric-canapic organization - stated the president's advisor, erstwhile Minister of Agriculture Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski in an interview.https://t.co/RTnVCq7pwN

At the end of Ardanowski he likes Andrzej Duda as the fresh head of PiS. He describes him as the head of the centre right with a wide view of state affairs. He besides describes his presidency as outstanding, which seems to be a alternatively bold statement.
‘Animal Friday’ with the bone of disagreement
One of the most crucial reasons why Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski does not like Jarosław Kaczyński is “a 5 for animals”. In an interview with the Legal Gazette of 2021, Ardanowski explains that according to him, PiS, although formally did not introduce "five", wants to do so by the back door. The ban on ritual slaughter is absurd.
In an interview, the politician stated that the inclusion of ritual slaughter constitutes an mistake which must be removed. He said that in agriculture all agricultural departments are interconnected and that the "five" assumes that 1 section will not affect the another in any negative way. Ardanowski considers it harmful to combine ideological issues with the issue of spending funds to support agriculture.
It seems, however, that apart from “Friday for Animals” Ardanowski besides resented the president for 1 more reason. This is specifically about tightening the abortion law, resulting in a domino effect. Kaczyński did this to appease the conservative electorate, but this step hurt the organization more than he helped her.
A metre and a half of a weak gag from TVN analyzed the winning of the PiS and it turned out that the origin of the defeat was a 5 for animals (fur lobby fought it). I hope that he will advise writers in the future, it bodes well for Poland. pic.twitter.com/DkenfCvYNg

Changes that are not changes?
In the “PiS Kulisy” by Kamil Dzibka, which we published in our newspaper, there is an approximation of the President's reaction to the protests that have taken place due to the tightening of abortion law. It was to be completely terrified of the end result.
The statements of Ardanowski and respective another chief politicians of the Law and Justices propose a considerable discontent with the steps taken by Jarosław Kaczyński. It can be seen with the bare eye that these politicians see the request to change mechanisms that are now simply not working properly, as evidenced by the Pyrrus triumph of the PiS.
But apart from knowing that something needs to be changed, do we get more? Sure, Ardanowski and the company say that Kaczyński should quit and give blessing to his successor. Actually, that's it. I truly cannot believe that Ardanowski judged Andrzej Duda as a worthy successor of Kaczyński without irony. It could be considered that this is mainly about the fact that Duda is indeed a young politician, but worse if we look at his level of independence, determination and general desire to express our own opinion. possibly it would be better for all of us, then, if the President's desire to keep power by all means would persist until his death? Then – citing Ardanowski's guess – the PiS could cease to exist.
