Self-Defense leaves government but its Ministers stay

Despite the party claiming that the coalition no longer exists, Construction Minister Andrzej Aumiller and Labor Minister Anna Kalata, both from Self-defense are to remain at their posts but will be at the Prime Minister's disposal. PiS politicians argued that this decision was worthless as all Ministers are always at the Prime Minister's disposal. "The decision to end the coalition is up to Self-Defense. PiS has candidates for the Ministerial posts if Self-Defense withdraws its people," said Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński who returned to Warsaw from his holiday for one day to examine the issue of PiS financial reports. Andrzej Lepper threatened to reveal discrediting materials concerning Kaczyński and the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA). He also announced plans to take part in social protests and his party is to vote against the government in Sejm. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1; Rzeczpospolita, p. 1; Dziennik, p. 1) A.K.
