Government spokeswoman resigns

Iwona Sulik “does not want to put PM Ewa Kopacz in a difficult situation regarding the article in the Fakt daily,” as she said in her statement sent to the Polish Press Agency. She assured the public opinion that she made the decision by herself. The article stated that Iwona Sulik conducted trainings for opposition parties on public speaking in the media while she was employed at the Office of the Marshal of the Sejm, held by Ewa Kopacz at the time. Kopacz’s PR consultant, Adam Piechowicz was said to have been cooperating with Sulik at the time. Due to the accusations, he stepped down as well. Iwona Sulik was appointed to the post of the government spokesperson in September 2014.
