Motions of no confidence in health ministers are not unusual, and it was hard to assume that the Law and Justice party would not use the growing crisis in defense to hit Donald Tusk's government. - The health service is unable to perform its duties. A decisive response is needed. We have no choice but to demand a change in the health minister," Kaczynski said, announcing that the proposal would come up at the next meeting, which is next week.
- Someone will say that changing one person will not change this crisis situation after all. However, the way the minister is acting is very peculiar. It is an attempt to spread responsibility among different circles, an attempt to divide," the Law and Justice Chairman reasoned. And he continued: - What is needed is a health minister who will have a real plan, who will also fight inside his government, so that the health service will receive at least what is needed most immediately," Kaczynski explained.
It can be assumed that the Law and Justice Party's proposal will have the exact opposite effect and strengthen - although it is unclear for how long - Izabela Leszczyna's position in the government. Word has been circulating behind the scenes for weeks that the minister could lose her post later this year if the prime minister decides to make a deeper reconstruction of the government. However, if the opposition files a motion of no confidence, the prime minister and coalition partners will defend Izabela Leszczyny. It can be assumed that the government will win the vote and the prime minister - even if he wanted to replace the health minister - will postpone the decision for at least a few weeks. Especially since the prime minister has announced in recent days that he will directly engage in talks to bring about at least a minimal rebalancing of the health care situation, and takes full political responsibility for them.
