PO looks for ways to incorporate Marcinkiewicz

On Sunday, Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz's term in office in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) expired and it will not be extended, but Dziennik has leant that the Civic Platform (PO) is preparing a series of proposals for the former Prime Minister of the Law and Justice (PiS) government.

Grzegorz Schetyna is responsible for drafting proposals for Marcinkiewicz. "Donald Tusk has warm feelings for Marcinkiewicz. On this issue he will personally take a decision," said a person close to Tusk.

The best occasion to swear in Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz would be during the August cabinet re-shuffle, and he might possibly be offered the Ministry of Education, Science or Infrastructure. "This would eventually use his ambition and might deter him from thinking about the President's post or creating a new party," said another PO member.

However, the Civic Platform does not wish to officially disclose details of what their offer might comprise of, but they fear that Marcinkiewicz might not be interested in a second rate government post, so he may be recommended for a post in the European Investment Bank or European Investment Fund.

"I am a private person now and my future is my personal issue. You will find out about my new job from an official announcement," said Marcinkiewicz. (Dziennik, pp. 1, 2) M.M.
