PM presents proposed new government line-up
Setting out the new Polish government's composition on Friday, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said the new line-up will be very proficient and "a good team," which will work towards achieving short-, medium- and long-term goals.
Morawiecki added that the new government would carry out measures already announced.
Following a meeting of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party's political committee on Friday evening, the prime minister set out his stall for the press, giving his assurance that PiS wants to continue all the previous announcements and programmes. "In a spirit of trustworthiness, we will carry out what we have announced previously," the PM said. "We will make those changes."
One important change awaits the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will still be headed by Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz, but the European Affairs section led by deputy Minister Konrad Szymanski will be transferred to the Prime Minister's Office, Morawiecki stated.
