Free And Solidary
Free and Solidary (Polish: ''Wolni i Solidarni'', WiS) was a small political party in Poland. Founder Kornel Morawiecki, the Senior Marshal of the Sejm, led the party until his death in 2019. The party was plagued with poor electoral performances, lack of agreements with other parties, and later legal troubles which led to a court-appointed curator disbanding the party in 2020. History MPs of the party were initially elected from the lists of Kukiz'15, until an acrimonious split as WiS decided to align themselves with the United Right. The party formally declared support for the economic and social policy of the Law and Justice (PiS) governments led by Prime Minister Beata Szydło and later her successor Mateusz Morawiecki. In December 2018, then-WiS Sejm Deputy Ireneusz Zyska crossed the floor to join the Law and Justice parliamentary club, followed by Adam Andruszkiewicz when he became Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs in Cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki.
