Poland’s PM accept resignation of agriculture minister
WARSAW, Poland – The Polish government spokeswoman says the prime minister has accepted the unexpected resignation of the agriculture minister.
Joanna Kopcinska said Monday that Agriculture Minister Krzysztof Jurgiel has resigned for personal reasons, which she did not reveal.
Jurgiel had served in the right-wing government since it took power in November 2015.
He was criticized for firing heads of Poland’s renowned Arabian horse studs, and for allowing changes to horse auctions that have brought a big drop in proceeds.
He has also entered into conflict with hunters’ circles by opposing a new law that gives them more rights.
Kopcinska said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki accepted the resignation.
