In the spotlight: Wojciech Mojzesowicz

But the nomination of Wojciech Mojzesowicz must have come as a brazen slap in the face.

Mojzesowicz and Lepper have known each other since their teenage years, both attending the same class in agricultural technical high school. Mojzesowicz was a member of SO when the party first entered the parliament in 2001, but at the end of 2002 he left the party after a conflict with Lepper and his entourage, and created his own parliamentary club - the Polish People's Block. The club later joined PiS and it is with this party's support that Mojzesowicz made it into the current Sejm. It was rumored that he would become the Minister of Agriculture after PiS' election victory, but only got the chairmanship of the Sejm's Agriculture and Rural Development Committee. After SO and the League of Polish Families joined the ruling coalition, Mojzesowicz's rough relationship with Lepper flared up, especially after Lepper became Minister of Agriculture. Lepper accused Mojzesowicz of criticising his work. In September 2006 Mojzesowicz resigned from his post claiming that "it's impossible to cooperate with such a Minister." He was then briefly the Secretary of State in the Prime Minister's Chancellery, before leaving PiS in June, saying the party had allowed SO's "harmful" governance of the countryside. He returned the next month though, after Lepper had been dismissed. On July 31, he assumed the post of the Minister of Agriculture.
