Łapiński: Cabinet reshuffle before Christmas. Morawiecki the best candidate for PM

The reconstruction of the government should be carried out before Christmas, said Adam Lipiński, vice-president of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. “The natural candidate for the prime minister is the head of PiS, but if Jarosław Kaczyński will say that he doesn’t want the seat, then the best candidate is Mateusz Morawiecki,” he said. Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Adam Bielan, when asked about these words, assessed that Lipiński was “a very well informed PiS politician.” And confirmed that the decision will be made before the end of the year. “Nothing is prolonged, we said that changes will take place in autumn, and the autumn ends in the third decade of December,” he said. The government reshuffle has been announced back in October, but no decisions have been made so far. In recent weeks, media reported that Kaczyński himself could become PM, but the rumors were cut short after it was revealed that he suffered a knee injury in recent weeks and might need surgery. Earlier this week, media reported that Morawiecki is the frontrunner for the PM seat.
