Poland’s Prime Minister Beata Szydlo, seeking to move past reports that she may soon be dismissed, met ruling-party leader and potential successor Jaroslaw Kaczynski to discuss plans for a ministerial shakeup in her cabinet.
The changes envisage reorganization of some ministries and personnel changes, government spokesman Rafal Bochenek told PAP news agency after the late Monday meeting. The move also signals that Szydlo, 54, is battling to hold on to her post amid a power struggle within the ruling Law & Justice party halfway into its four-year parliamentary term.
