New PM to be named by end-September

Poles will learn the name of their new prime minister before the end of September, government spokesperson Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska told TV station Polsat News on Tuesday. The name will be revealed by President Bronisław Komorowski after the current PM, Donald Tusk, files in his dismissal. Tusk was recently chosen president of the European Council and will assume the post on December 1. “We should have a new prime minister by the end of September,” Kidawa-Błońska said. “I hope we manage to get this all together. After, this is not just the president’s decision, but the Sejm also has to vote on it … but it is realistic.”
