Poland's ruling right-wing coalition falls apart after Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki dismisses the head of a junior coalition party
Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki talks to journalists as he arrives for the second day of a EU summit at the European Council building in Brussels, Belgium June 25, 2021.
Gowin and his Agreement party have been increasingly at odds with the main partner in the United Right coalition, the populist Law and Justice party. If all his MPs follow Gowin, the United Right coalition, which includes other junior partners, would control just 222 seats."I am sure that there are people in the United Right and the rest of the Polish parliament who will support the beneficial reforms that we are proposing," he said.Jacek Nizinkiewicz, a commentator for the Rzeczpospolita daily, said Gowin's dismissal was "a political earthquake" but "not surprising".
"We said that the United Right would not raise taxes. But the proposed budget law recently presented by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki means a drastic increase in taxes," he said.
