Polish defence minister survives no-confidence vote

Defense Minister Antoni Macierewicz has won a no-confidence vote, with 267 MPs voting against, 166 for and three abstaining, two day before Warsaw's NATO summit. The opposition party, PO, which filed a motion to dismiss Macierewicz, argued that he is exploiting his position to retaliate against political opponents. Prime Minister Beata Szydło commented that the motion was "pathetic" and "irresponsible" and she had 100 percent confidence in the minister.
