Dismissal of the Minister of Finance due to the Polish Deal
18:48
Finance Minister Tadeusz Kościński resigned and the supervision over the Ministry of Finance will be temporarily taken over by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, although backstage it is said that the new minister could be the current president of ZUS – Gertruda Uścińska. Kościński's resignation is related to the turmoil that took place in the implementation of tax changes under the Polish Deal.
"Minister Kościński has assumed political responsibility," Anita Czerwińska, spokeswoman for Law and Justice, said.
This information was also confirmed by the government spokesman Piotr Muller.
Last week, PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński suggested changes in the government and informed that the people responsible for introducing the Polish Deal "at the political, semi-political level, did not fully control what was subordinate to them, and perhaps there was a lack of sufficient qualifications, perhaps also the lack of goodwill ”.
