Polish PM sends tweet hinting that she might be replaced
Mateusz Morawiecki
WARSAW  Poland (AP) — Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo sent a tweet early Tuesday that seems to read like a farewell and comes amid rumors in Warsaw that she might be replaced by Finance Minister Mateusz Morawiecki next week.
Kaczynski is widely seen as the real power behind the government  guiding its decisions from his party headquarters in Warsaw and from his seat in parliament where he serves as one of 460 members of the lower house  or Sejm. It is not clear if  Morawiecki  could take an independent path or if  he  would also largely follow the direction Kaczynski sets.
The daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita reported Tuesday  citing unnamed sources  that Kaczynski has presented to party members his plan for  Morawiecki  to take the helm of the Cabinet next week.
 Morawiecki   49  has won praise for overseeing an economy that has boomed in the two years since the Law and Justice party took power. He is widely considered one of the government’s most competent members and has the trust of Kaczynski.
While the ruling Law and Justice party and Szydlo herself are both popular among Poles   Morawiecki  could be better prepared to represent the country internationally as Poland faces off against the EU over legal changes seen as attacks on the rule of law.
 Morawiecki  speaks English and German and has international experience from his years as a banker  while Szydlo only speaks Polish.
Igor Janke  the head of the Freedom Institute in Warsaw  said on Twitter that  Morawiecki  would be a good choice for two reasons — “unblocking relations with Brussels” and winning votes in the political center now that the party has guaranteed support on the right.
 Morawiecki  was due to attend a meeting of EU finance ministers in Brussels Tuesday  but  his  office said  he  would not go “due to current issues.”
