"And so Morawiecki has become a co-Prime Minister" - Civic Platform MP Katarzyna Lubnauer wrote on Twitter. This was one of the many reactions to a tweet posted by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party on Tuesday (June 27). Jarosław Kaczyński and Mateusz Morawiecki were mentioned as co-chairs of Tuesday's meeting of the Council of Ministers. PiS chairman was mentioned first and titled prime minister. The Left MP Paweł Krutul said the post included "a picture of truth". "Showing who really rules Poland, and who for many years has been pretending to be prime minister. Pathetic" - he added.
PiS posted a tweet on Tuesday informing about the government meeting held earlier that day. "Today's session of the Council of Ministers led by Prime Minister, PiS Chairman J. Kaczyński and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki" - says the tweet hashtagged: #500Plus and #800Plus.
Also four photographs from the meeting were attached to the tweet. One of them shows Kaczyński - recently reappointed as deputy PM - sitting at the table on the right-hand side of Mateusz Morawiecki. In front of them, at two long tables, sit members of the government.
"Only Kaczyński knows how to ridicule his own Prime Minister like that"
Twitter users, including politicians and activists, quickly noticed the prime minister was not sitting alone, as he usually does when leading government meetings, but next to him sat Kaczyński, who serves as deputy PM. Furthermore, in the text, Kaczyński is mentioned first and titled prime minister.
Civic Platform MP Katarzyna Lubnauer wrote: "And so Morawiecki has become a co-Prime Minister. Only Kaczyński knows how to ridicule his own Prime Minister like that".
Civic Coalition MP Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska also commented on the tweet and the photo. "Prime Minister Morawiecki has once promised to downsize the government. Not only did he not do it, but today we have two prime ministers. Quite a panache," she wrote.
The Left MP Paweł Krutul said the post included "a picture of truth". "Showing who really rules Poland, and who for many years has been PRETENDING to be prime minister. Pathetic" - he added.
