Tusk is preparing a government reconstruction. Who leaves, who stays?

There's a major redecoration in Donald Tusk's government. Plans include both a change in the structure of the resorts, as well as a individual roost. According to the information obtained from coalition politicians, the Prime Minister is to consider a crucial simplification in the number of government members – even by half. authoritative decisions will most likely be made in July, although the first fitting is already underway.

A fresh phase for the Tusk Government

During his Wednesday speech in the Sejm, Donald Tusk did not supply a detailed reconstruction plan, but suggested the direction of the changes. – In July we will announce a fresh beginning after reconstruction of the government – announced the Prime Minister. “It’s not just about names, but about rebuilding structures,” he added.

In June, we will only meet the fresh spokesperson for the government. The details of the larger forews are to be revealed later, although talks with the cabinet members have already begun.

A slimming cabinet? Even half.

It is unofficially said that Tusk is probing the anticipation of reducing the number of government members by even half. Although coalition politicians treat this as a starting point for negotiations alternatively than a real announcement.

According to various sources, there is simply a simplification of 12 ministers and about 60 deputy ministers among the scenarios under consideration. The government presently has 26 ministers (including 7 without a portfolio) and over 100 deputy ministers. “The Prime Minister said that he would like to reduce the composition to 50 people, although he knows that it is not real,” reports 1 associate of the government.

No more ministers without a portfolio?

The first changes can affect ministers without a portfolio. The persons exercising these functions are to be demoted to service as attorneys or state secretaries. This list includes among others Marzena Okła-Drewnowicz (ds. seniors), Adrianna Porowska (civil affairs) and Katarzyna Kotula (ds. equality). A akin destiny may happen to Adam Trapka, the current EU Minister.

The future of Jan Grabca (the head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister), Maciej Berk (the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers) and Marcin Kierwiński (the power of lawyer for the removal of flood effects) is besides questionable. Berka may stay in office, but no longer as constitutional minister. Grabić and Kierwiński could possibly lead 1 of the resorts.

Consolidation of economical ministries

The biggest changes can be made to economical ministries. Currently, the Ministry of improvement and Technology, the Ministry of Funds, Industry, Infrastructure, Environment and State Assets are liable for economical issues. In many politicians' opinion, this structure is besides fragmented, so the thought of consolidation has emerged.

One option is to make an economical superministery – based on MRiT with the addition of the Ministry of Industry, funds and agencies like PARP. An alternate could be the merger of MRiT with the Ministry of Finance, which would be a replay from the times of the Deputy Prime Minister Morawiecki. However, opponents of this model inform against besides much expansion – structures exceeding 1000–1500 people are considered hard to manage.

Deputy Prime Minister for economical Affairs?

If no consolidation occurs, it is possible to introduce the function of Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the economy. This function would be taken by current finance minister Andrzej Domanski. However, there is no certainty that this option will be agreed by the another coalitions, due to the fact that it could disturb delicate parities.

New resorts? Disposal of the old?

Among possible scenarios is besides the creation of fresh resorts. The Left considers calling for the creation of the Ministry of Construction. In turn, among the coalitionists there was an thought of separating the Ministry of Energy from the current climate and manufacture resort.

At the same time, it is possible to destruct any ministries – for example the Ministry of Sport. That would mean the departure of Sławomir Nitras from the government. The future of Marzena Czarncka (minister of industry), Marcin Kulaska (MAP), Krzysztof Paszyk (MriT), Czesław Siekierski (agriculture) and Paulina Hennig-Kloski (climate and environment) is besides uncertain.

Restart and fresh programme objectives

The reconstruction of the government is not only to be a human resource, but besides a fresh programme opening. “When the fresh composition is known, it will be easier to set concrete targets and those liable for their implementation,” says 1 of the KO politicians. At the same time, he wonders if announcing changes in the mediate of holidays is simply a good idea. It is possible that their announcement will be postponed to September to better scope the public.
