Kempa:

Ziobro Never Wanted and Doesn't Want to Be Deputy Prime Minister

Michał Olech

Beata Kempa, a prominent politician from the United Poland party, has stated that Zbigniew Ziobro, the party's leader and Minister of Justice, has never desired or currently desires to hold the position of Deputy Prime Minister.

The statement was made on Twitter, in response to a user's question. Kempa's tweet, posted on October 18, 2019, under the handle @BeataKempa_KPRM (referencing the Prime Minister's Chancellery), directly addressed the speculation surrounding Ziobro's potential ambition for the deputy premiership.

The full text of Kempa's tweet is as follows: "Panie Profesorze, Pan @ZiobroPL nigdy nie chciał i nie chce być wicepremierem. Takie funkcje nie leżą w jego zainteresowaniach. Cenimy sobie jego pracę na stanowisku Ministra Sprawiedliwości, które pełni znakomicie. Dziękuję." This translates to: "Professor, Mr. @ZiobroPL never wanted and doesn't want to be Deputy Prime Minister. Such positions are not in his interests. We appreciate his work as Minister of Justice, which he performs excellently. Thank you."

This assertion from a close associate of Ziobro aims to clarify his political aspirations and potentially quell any rumors about him seeking a higher executive role beyond his current ministerial portfolio.
