The new Minister of Finance is sworn in. The resort will be taken over by Andrzej Kolorowniak
Andrzej Kolorowniak was sworn in as the Minister of Finance in the new government of Mateusz Morawiecki on Monday.
The portfolio of Minister of Finance in the new government formed by Mateusz Morawiecki was taken by Andrzej Kolorowniak, an MP from Law and Justice. He replaced Magdalena Rzeczkowska, who left the government. – I know you as experts. People who have so far worked in the second line, substantively carrying out the tasks entrusted to them. Thank you for this with all my heart, it is extremely important, said President Andrzej Duda during the swearing-in of the new government.
New Minister of Finance. Who is Andrzej Costowniak?
Andrzej Kolorowniak is a graduate of the Faculty of Economics at the Radom University of Technology and Law at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. He lectured at the Higher School of Commerce in Radom and at the Private Higher School of Environmental Protection in Radom.
He was elected twice as the president of Radom from the Law and Justice party list. He held the position from 2006 to 2014. He was not elected for another term, so in 2015 he ran in the parliamentary elections. He has been a member of the Sejm since 2015.
Morawiecki’s chances
Although Law and Justice received the greatest support in the elections, it does not have a majority in the Sejm, which means that the new government of Mateusz Morawiecki has little chance of obtaining a vote of confidence. Morawiecki himself admitted on Friday in an interview for Salon24 that he estimated the chances of success of his mission at only 10 percent. However, this does not prevent him from building the composition of his third government, which is quite a difficult mission, because few people want to have on their CV a position in the shortest-functioning cabinet in the 21st century.
The only minister who remained in his position is the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Mariusz Błaszczak. Minister Marlena Maląg also remained in the government, but she replaced the Ministry of Family with the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy.
