Leader of junior coalition partner quits Polish government
However, her party, Poland 2050, is set to remain in the government.
Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, a leader of a junior party in Poland's ruling coalition, has resigned from both her position in the government and as the party leader of Poland 2050. Her decision comes after a parliamentary vote that aimed to abolish two-term limits for mayors. The bill was narrowly defeated, with 75% of Poles supporting the measure.
The opposing vote was led by another junior partner in the coalition, the centre-right Polish People's Party (PSL). Pełczyńska-Nałęcz expressed her opposition to the bill, stating that the coalition stood against the people and in favor of political deals. The controversy has highlighted tensions within the ruling coalition, which is just a year away from parliamentary elections.
