PiS rules out coalition with Braun's party amid US speculation claims

Law and Justice leader Jarosław Kaczyński has made clear that a coalition with Grzegorz Braun’s Konfederacja Korony Polskiej is off the table, a stance echoed by the party’s official statements. President Karol Nawrocki told Rzeczpospolita that Braun’s party holds seats in parliament and enjoys measurable support, though it faces allegations of pro-Russian sympathies. He contrasted these claims with one outlet prime minister’s past contacts with Vladimir Putin, arguing the government seeks cooperation with Russia on its own terms.

Recent polls suggest Braun’s bloc could be pivotal for forming a post-2027 government, but PiS remains critical of its agenda, including proposals to revive the Nord Stream pipeline. Adam Bielan, a PiS member of the European Parliament, dismissed rumors that the United States is pressuring Poland to exclude Braun, stating no American official has made such demands. Bielan warned that Braun’s supporters could shift their votes before the next parliamentary election.
