Junior partner Accord’s criticisms of tax reforms seem to have brought matters to a head within United Right coalition.
Poland’s prime minister has dismissed the head of a junior coalition partner from government, creating uncertainty about the future of an administration that has set Warsaw on a collision course with the European Union. The United Right coalition has been strained during the past year, but junior partner Accord’s criticisms of tax reforms in the government’s flagship Polish Deal economic programme looked to have brought matters to a head. “Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki today asked President Andrzej Duda to dismiss Jaroslaw Gowin from the posts of deputy prime minister and the minister of development, labour and technology,” government spokesman Piotr Muller told a news conference on Tuesday.More Related News
