The leader of Poland’s ruling party will join the cabinet as deputy prime minister in a revamp that appears to push the government further to the right and follows weeks of tensions that threatened to trigger snap elections.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski is the driving conservative force behind the campaign to reshape Poland that’s put the country in an unprecedented standoff with the EU. While wielding absolute over the government, he’s until now done so from behind the scenes as party leader and an ordinary member of parliament.
By taking an official role, he’s trying to quash a confrontation between PM Mateusz Morawiecki and Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, who heads the junior-ruling United Poland party. Ziobro brought the coalition to the brink of collapse in September by torpedoing legislation that Kaczynski’s Law & Justice Party said was needed to effectively fight Covid-19.
Morawiecki announced details of the new lineup, which includes Przemyslaw Czarnek as the new minister of education and science.
