This comes amidst a public dispute between Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski and President Karol Nawrocki regarding delays in ambassadorial appointments, and internal government friction involving Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz. In other news, a new political poll indicates a rise for Grzegorz Braun's party and a decline for Law and Justice (PiS).
