PiS Expels Senator Over Nationalist Criticism

The Polish national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party expelled senator Jacek Włosowicz after he publicly criticized the party’s shift towards nationalism and its opposition to €44 billion in EU loans for defense spending. The controversy stemmed from Włosowicz’s criticism of the party’s stance on the SAFE program and its potential impact on relations with the United States. The move highlights a growing rift within the PiS party and its stance on EU funding and defense policy.
