Warsaw: Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced a Cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday aimed at restoring stability and authority within his coalition government after weeks of internal discord and declining approval ratings. Speaking at a press conference in Warsaw, Tusk introduced a restructured and leaner Cabinet, which includes the formation of two 'mega-ministries' and key personnel changes, as part of an effort to boost the effectiveness of the ruling coalition.

According to Anadolu Agency, Tusk emphasized the government's capability to deliver under the new structure. The Energy Ministry will now combine responsibilities previously spread across the environment, industry, and climate portfolios, with Milosz Motyka from the Polish People's Party (PSL) appointed as its head. Additionally, the newly formed Ministry of Finance and Economy will consolidate the finance, development, and technology portfolios, led by Andrzej Domanski, the former finance minister.

Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has been appointed deputy prime minister while retaining his current post, a move Tusk believes will enhance Poland's international standing and internal cohesion. At the Justice Ministry, Judge Waldemar Zurek has replaced Adam Bodnar. Zurek, known for his criticism of judicial reforms by the former Law and Justice (PiS) government, is expected to lead the next phase of judicial overhaul efforts.

Further changes involve Marcin Kierwinski's return as interior minister, replacing Tomasz Siemoniak, who becomes the coordinator of special services. Waldemar Balczun will assume leadership of the State Assets Ministry with a mandate to depoliticize state-owned companies. This reshuffle occurs amid growing concerns over the cohesion of the governing coalition and increasing public dissatisfaction, particularly regarding the slow pace of key reforms in the justice sector.
