Poland 2050 clearly emphasizes its expectations for reconstruction. According to one of the deputies of this group, which is cited by PAP, the left “has too much”. It is about the simultaneous party by this party as the Speaker of the Sejm, deputy prime minister and having four ministers. The parliamentarian emphasized that the proportions of the representation in the government should correspond to the actual strength in parliament.
The left remains calm about tension. As one of the leading members of the party stated, information that Hołownia proposed to Czarzasty to enter the government as a deputy prime minister are “nonsense”. According to the politician, such reports are only “rumors dissolved by Poland 2050”. The left has not yet noticed any specific proposals for personal changes in the coalition conversations of leaders.
Uncertainty also applies to the personal future of Andrzej Szejna, deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on behalf of the left, who has been on vacation for several months due to a lack of security certificate. The services are still investigating whether shejna meets the requirements related to access to state secrets. His return to the ministry is planned at the end of June, although he may be delayed if the procedure is prolonged.

Economic “Superresort” for Andrzej Domański?
In the background of the debates around the reconstruction, there are also voices regarding structural transformations in the government. According to the leftist's politician, with whom he talked to PAP, The only “concrete” that has fallen so far is the suggestion of Prime Minister Donald Tusk to create a “superresort” responsible for economic policy, which could cover the scope of activities of the Ministry of Development and Technology and the Ministry of Finance. Andrzej Domański would remain at the head of this reorganized department.
According to PAP sources, the position of the Minister for Equality of Katarzyna Kotula from the New Left is underestimated. The Left MP emphasized that the European Union directives are obliged to establish at least one equality body. According to PAP's interlocutor, if Kotula loses the position of the minister, then Marzena Okła-Drewnowicz from PO (Minister for Senior Policy), Adriana Porowska from Poland 2050 (Minister for Civil Society) and Marcin Kierwiński from PO (minister-member of the Council of Ministers, a representative for coordinating reconstruction after the flood) will be in a similar situation. “As a last resort, Kotula will be the government's representative (without the minister's portfolio – note PAP)” – he added.
