Jacek Kurski, erstwhile president of TVP and known figure in the opposition camp, is preparing to return to active politics. According to Virtual Poland, Kurski is to become head of the PiS structures in Gdańsk, 1 of the key organization districts. Although he did not confirm the information himself, he received the advice from the president of PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński.
Assignment of the Kursk Presidency in Gdańsk is simply a strategical move. This city, which is simply a strong bastion of the Civic Platform, represents a unique challenge for each opposition party. The opponents of the Law and Justice have large support there, and Kurski, connected with the region familyly and historically, takes on a hard role. He will be liable for organising structural actions and mobilising the local back office during the upcoming presidential campaign.
Friends of Kurski emphasize his large commitment and willingness to return to the political stage. He repeatedly pointed out that his actions at the head of TVP had a crucial impact on Andrzej Duda's triumph in the 2020 presidential election. Although Kurski has experience in election campaigns, his return is not welcome by all the political parties in the PiS. peculiar objections are expressed by people associated with Mateusz Morawiecki, who criticise his actions and influence the image of the party.
Internal friction and uncertainty – Jacek Kurski on the horizon
The return of Kurski to the leading PiS structures creates mixed feelings among the politicians of the ruling camp. Critics point out that his close cooperation with Kaczyński, as well as open opposition to Prime Minister Morawiecki, can make interior tensions. Kurski's fresh actions, including the study on Morawiecki's work for the failure of power by the Law and Justice, are a origin of additional controversy.
The further Kurski destiny depends on the decision of delegates who will decide on November 9 his position during the upcoming territory convention. However, it can be assumed that Kaczyński's advice will make it importantly easier for him to take office in Gdańsk, despite the opposition of any activists.
