He( Jarosław Niewierowicz) had not received such approval, and on Thursday I told him that unless he did not re-nominate her( Renata Cytacka) for vice-ministerial post, I will appeal to the President for the minister’s dismissal”- said A. Butkevicius on Monday. The PM also added that the leading coalition’s political council would seriously consider AWPL’s further participation in the coalition.
