PiS flirts Marcinkiewicz as next Education Minister

Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski declared in an interview with Polish Radio that Marcinkiewicz would be an excellent Education Minister. This irritated the current Education Minister and the League of Polish Families leader Roman Giertych who stated that, "A change of Education Minister would mean the termination of the coalition agreement." Giertych also added, "Perhaps a minority government is not a bad solution." However, Law and Justice (PiS) politicians ensure that there was a misunderstanding and government spokesperson Jan Dziedziczak declared that there were no plans to change the Education Minister. "Neither we nor the League of Polish Families want the breakdown of the coalition. The Prime Minister just tried to show the competence of Marcinkiewicz," explained Law and Justice deputy Adam Lipinski. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5; Rzeczpospolita, p.A4) E.B.
