On 14 February 2026, Cwalina-Śliwowska left Poland 2050 due to the internal factional conflict that emerged within the party after the 2026 Poland 2050 leadership election. Cwalina-Śliwowska stated that her decision was caused by a resolution passed and proposed by party chairman Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz to block personnel changes in the party until 21 March, criticizing the resolution as "undemocratic" and "embarrassing". She announced that despite having left the party, she will remain in the parliamentary circle of Poland 2050 to display the "defectiveness" of the resolution.^[6]
