Polish radio broadcaster RMF noted that the cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki consists of as many as 112 ministers and deputy ministers and is one of the most numerous governments in the history of Poland. More than half of its members are PiS parliamentarians.
Prime Minister Morawiecki's government is also another which ignores the provisions of the Act on the Council of Ministers
“Moreover, the PiS parliamentary club has 235 members in the Sejm, so 23.4 percent of them are the minister or deputy minister. No government or parliament of the Republic of Poland has had such proportions,” RMF said.
It should be remembered here that in addition to members of the Law and Justice, the parliamentary club created by PiS in the Sejm also includes Jarosław Gowin (Minister of Science and Higher Education) with his deputies as well as Zbigniew Ziobro and his colleagues from the Solidarna Polska party.
The record number of members of the Council of Ministers took place at the beginning of 2018 when Mateusz Morawiecki began to run it, there were 126 people in the government. The smallest cabinet operated when Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz was the prime minister. At the beginning of 1997, it had 14 ministers and 63 deputy ministers, i.e. 77 people in total.
