AI-generated summary
The ruling coalition is planning the so-called tactical reconstruction in an election year, aimed at holding the weakest performing ministries accountable.
Why does Tusk need changes in the government?
The ruling coalition says it is to be a "tactical reconstruction". During the election year, Prime Minister Donald Tusk wants to hold accountable the ministries that have recently performed the worst, and their ministers failed to implement the government's election promises and priorities.
In this way, the head of government will try to mobilize the Civic Coalition's electorate and show its agency a few months before the parliamentary campaign.
Will the ministries of education and health get new heads?
The RMF FM reporter's interlocutors indicate that one of the candidates for resignation is the Minister of Education, Barbara Nowacka, who has been criticized by students and teachers for a long time. Poorly rated, among others: limiting homework in primary schools. According to experts, this makes it difficult to consolidate knowledge and limits teachers' freedom.
Some educators and educational organizations accuse the Ministry of Education of too slow a pace of reforms, insufficient consultations with the school community and failure to implement some of the promises regarding improving the working conditions of teachers or increasing psychological support for children. The introduction of health education was also a failure.
The head of the Ministry of Health, Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda, is also to lose her position. The RMF FM reporter heard from politicians of the ruling coalition that some of its reforms - even if everyone knows they are necessary - cannot be politically defended, much less implemented. This includes: about the issue of liquidation of district hospitals.
The minister may lose her position first. Everyone emphasizes that it was a mistake to appoint someone from outside politics to this position - says an anonymous interlocutor of RMF FM reporter Jakub Rybski from the Civic Coalition.
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz overtook Tusk
The changes in the government were also to include the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy headed by Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz.
The Prime Minister had been looking for a way to get rid of her for a long time, and the minister gave him a gift - an RMF FM reporter heard.
Last Thursday, the current chairwoman of Poland 2050 announced on the X website that she was leaving the government. Two days later, the party's authorities decided to remove her from the party.
Balczun's resignation for "his own farm"?
There is also one surprising name mentioned in the Civic Coalition. Wojciech Balczun, the minister of state assets, could be dismissed.
RMF FM reporter Jakub Rybski unofficially heard that Paweł Graś, the head of the prime minister's political cabinet, also called the eminence grise in Donald Tusk's government, may be behind this decision.
Graś believes that Balczun has turned the resort into his own farm, the RMF FM journalist's interlocutor reported. However, this would be a risky move a few months before the elections. The cadre of very good managers in the Civic Coalition is very small. It would be difficult to find someone who would decide to take over this ministry at the end of the campaign, said the KO politician.
