Morawiecki to reduce number of deputies

PM Mateusz Morawiecki said that he plans to reduce the number of deputy ministers in his cabinet. Currently, Poland has the most such positions in the EU, with the headcount surpassing 100, the highest-ever. “I am now reviewing the deputy ministerial positions. In the next few weeks, I will present the final composition of the government. I can say that these changes will also reduce the number of deputy ministers,” Morawiecki said. Such high number of deputy ministers is nothing new when it comes to the Polish government. The previous Law and Justice cabinet in 2005-07 had 97 deputies, while the PO/PSL government led by Donald Tusk had 91.
