United Right (Poland)
The United Right is an informal conservative political alliance in Poland, currently between Law and Justice, United Poland and the Agreement. After some internal disputes the alliance was renewed in 2019.
The alliance has been in power since the 2015 elections. It is opposed by the Civic Coalition, led by Civic Platform.
Beginning in 2014, the alliance initially was in the form of a parliamentary club in the Sejm called Just Poland formed by politicians of Poland Together and United Poland. They then agreed to co-operate with the Law and Justice party and joined Law and Justice's parliamentary club and electoral lists that same year, in time for the 2014 local elections and the 2015 parliamentary elections. The composition of the alliance has since changed over time as parties joined and left the alliance.Internal factions
Law and Justice is divided into many internal factions, but they can be grouped into three main blocks.
Order of the Centre Agreement is unofficial name of the most influential, although not the most numerous fraction of PiS. It's leader is Jarosław Kaczyński, main members are Joachim Brudziński, Adam Lipiński and Mariusz Błaszczak.
Second of PiS' groups is radical, religious and hard eurosceptic right-wing faction focused around Antoni Macierewicz, Beata Szydło and United Poland party of Zbigniew Ziobro. The faction stays in opposition to Mateusz Morawiecki, opts for radical reforms and is supported by Jacek Kurski and Tadeusz Rydzyk.
Third faction is christian democratic, republican and conservative liberal group focused around Mateusz Morawiecki, Łukasz Szumowski, Jacek Czaputowicz and Agreement of Jarosław Gowin. It's supported by Jarosław Kaczyński, but not by all Centre Agreement faction.
