Rozwoj Plus club in Lublin council

The four councillors—Marcin Jakóbczyk, Tomasz Skrzetuski, Magdalena Boczkowska and Paweł Bielak—submitted the request with MP Sylwester Tułajew at the town hall. Moreover, they highlighted recent central government funding under Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. They pointed to more than 60 million zł for a Special Schools complex. In addition, they cited funds for the reconstruction of Skowronkowa Street. Consequently, they stressed that national support reached the city beyond party divides.

Relations with PiS and local strategy

The councillors insisted they will not abandon the ranks of Law and Justice. However, they said the new association allows local activists to influence policy. Therefore, they framed the move as a response to concerns among grassroots PiS members. Moreover, they criticised the current city leadership tied to the Civic Coalition. They promised to oppose what they call bad decisions. However, they also said they will support sensible proposals from the city mayor. In addition, they said positions on committees are not their main goal.

Growth plans and the wider picture

The group plans to join a regional congress on 26 September in Tomaszów Mazowiecki with the prime minister and other officials. Moreover, they claim hundreds from the Lublin region have expressed interest in joining. Therefore, they portray themselves as a vehicle for right‑leaning local leaders to coordinate. In addition, they argue this can help secure central investment in local projects. Consequently, they want to build a practical alternative in the city council focused on development and debate rather than total obstruction.

For foreign residents, this development signals a shifting local balance. Moreover, changes in council groupings can affect local budgets, permits, and project timelines. Therefore, expats should watch local council agendas closely. In addition, they may want to engage with district councils where many decisions start.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: Local politics in Poland often mix personal networks and party labels. In practice, councils decide on local investments, zoning and services. Therefore, follow your district council (rada dzielnicy) and municipal meetings to learn about changes to waste collection, permits and playgrounds. Also note institutions you will meet: ZUS (social insurance institution), NFZ (National Health Fund), PESEL (your national ID number). Finally, join local Facebook groups and read minutes; they will tell you how council moves may affect your daily life.
