PiS mulling quitting ECR says ex Polish PM

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 27 - Poland's former ruling party Law and Justice (PiS) is considering leaving Premier Giorgia Meloni's European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) caucus and forming a new group, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told Politico Thursday.
    PiS has hitherto been a staunch ECR member and co-chair of the group, which also numbers Spain's Vox, the Sweden Democrats and other conservative parties.
    "We are in talks with the ECR and that is the main element that will determine our future," he said.
    Sayinjg that PiS was "tempted to go in both directions", he said there was a 50-50 chance of the party quitting the caucus.
