Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of Poland's ruling party PiS, strategically attacked both the Konfederacja party and Roman Giertych during the presidential campaign. His attacks on Konfederacja, particularly Sławomir Mentzen's ultraliberal proposals regarding education and healthcare, were aimed at preventing Mentzen from drawing votes away from PiS's candidate, Karol Nawrocki, and ultimately securing a second-round victory.
Despite Kaczyński's previous efforts to undermine Konfederacja, the party remained a significant force, forcing Kaczyński to adapt his strategy. His initial non-confrontational approach shifted when polls threatened the projected outcome. Kaczyński revived his criticisms of Konfederacja's policies and suggested potential alliances between Konfederacja and the opposition.
Kaczyński's public and heated confrontation with Roman Giertych in the Sejm serves as another calculated move. Kaczyński's aggressive attack, coupled with the verbal sparring and subsequent disciplinary actions, is analyzed as a deliberate attempt to divert attention and consolidate support within his own party. The incident is portrayed as meticulously planned to address the fallout from the death of Barbara Skrzypek.
