Elzbieta Witek replaces Mastalerek in PiS post

Jaroslaw Kaczynski announced on Monday that Elzbieta Witek, a former high school principle and current Sejm representative will be the new PiS head spokesperson. At 57 years old, Witek will be the oldest spokesperson in the party’s history, as well as the first woman to fill the position. “She is an experienced representative, and I trust her completely” state Kaczynski during the official announcement. Witek’s announcement follows a week of speculation after rumors spread that Marcin Mastalerek (her predecessor) would be leaving his post, allegedly due to disputes with party leadership. During the press conference Witek promised that she would always answer calls from journalists, adding that “I am not replacing anyone, I am simply joining a team.”
