As 300POLITYKA has learned, new ministers will be appointed on Wednesday at 3:30 PM in the Presidential Chancellery. Błażej Spychalski spoke about the changes in the Presidential Chancellery taking place today on Michał Rachoń's program on TVP Info.

According to GW information, which was also confirmed by 300, Piotr Ćwik, who is closely associated with Beata Szydło and was until recently the Małopolska Voivode, is to be appointed a presidential minister by Andrzej Duda. RMF FM suggested that the dismissal was related to the rivalry between factions within PiS with the former Prime Minister's base.

According to 300's information, Łukasz Rzepecki, a former Kukiz'15 MP, and previously also with PiS, will also join the president's team as an advisor for civil society, youth, and justices of the peace. Rzepecki was suspended from the PiS club when he strongly opposed the excise tax increase on fuel. He did not run for the Sejm again when Paweł Kukiz decided on an electoral alliance with the PSL.

As Agata Kondzińska had already reported in Gazeta Wyborcza, Grażyna Ignaczak-Bandych, the current Director General of the Presidential Chancellery, will head the Chancellery.

Krzysztof Szczerski, Paweł Mucha, and Błażej Spychalski, among others, will remain in their current positions at the Chancellery.
