Szczyglo nominated as Defense Minister

He will replace Radoslaw Sikorski who submitted his resignation on Monday. Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski is to make some more changes to his Cabinet today, but he declared that they would not be dramatic. "I think there will be no revelations. But I am still to talk to several ministers who will stay in the government conditionally," stated Kaczynski. He denied press rumors that the Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga will lose her post. "Fotyga will stay. All objections towards her are untrue," declared the PM. According to sources close to the PM, Transport Minister Jerzy Polaczek will also retain his post. The possible dismissals appear to concern Construction Minister Andrzej Aumiller or the Maritime Economy Minister Rafal Wiechecki. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 6) E.B.
