Agriculture minister resigns

Agriculture Minister Krzysztof Jurgiel submitted his resignation on Monday citing personal reasons, the ministry said. The resignation was accepted by PM Mateusz Morawiecki and his successor should be announced shortly. Jurgiel has been the agriculture minister since Law and Justice (PiS) won the parliamentary elections back in 2015. His dismissal has been a subject of media rumors last week. The reports said that he fell out of favor with PM Morawiecki and while Jurgiel was liked by farmers the recent polls showed that PiS support in rural areas is down. PiS MP Jan Ardanowski is tipped by many to takeover the post.
