Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to attempt to determine the importance of the issue of systemic transformation within the populist discourse of Law and Justice since 2015. The text analyzes the electoral programs and statements of the party’s leaders. Attention was focused on such elements of the discourse as: criticism of the elites, the importance of the elites in the transformation process, social inequalities and the crisis of identity. The analysis carried out allows us to conclude that the populist discourse used by PiS after 2015 refers to the issues of systemic transformation.
