President's twin brother appointed as Prime Minister

Marcinkiewicz, it was said, was becoming too independent, and so lost Kaczynski's support. The catalyzer of Marcinkiewicz's resignation was his Thursday meeting with PO leader Donald Tusk. The news of it triggered Kaczynski's outrage to which the PM responded by cancelling his state visit to Croatia and resigned. PiS immediately recommended Jaroslaw Kaczynski (the President of Poland's twin brother) as the new Premier. The Sejm Speaker said that Parliament would vote on accepting the new government this week. However, the split up between Marcinkiewicz and Kaczynski was not total and Marcinkiewicz will become one of the four deputy presidents of PiS and the party's candidate for the President of Warsaw. Finance Minister Pawel Wojciechowski was also replaced by his deputy Stanislaw Kluza.
