During this year’s Campus of the Future, which took place last weekend, one of the participants asked Prime Minister Donald Tusk when a government spokesperson would be appointed.
The Prime Minister made it clear that no such person would be appointed. He explained that the current government is a coalition government, made up of several parties, each with their own views, but who nevertheless want to govern together.
– In a coalition government, every minister should be a spokesman, Donald Tusk stressed. – If I were to say: this is my spokesman, then from the point of view of our coalition partners there would be a feeling that Tusk has his own spokesman, and not the government’s spokesman – the Prime Minister stressed.

– That is why we agree that ministers and ministry spokespeople must work harder and explain what they are doing so that they take personal and political responsibility for it – he explained. He added that he is aware that information policy can always be improved. We are preparing some changes, including organizational ones, so that access to information is more complete — he announced.
Finally, he admitted that he wanted what “comes out” to be common and coherent.
The last government spokesman, when Mateusz Morawiecki was Prime Minister, was Piotr Müller. In turn, in the years of Donald Tusk’s previous government – in 2009-2014 – there was Paweł Graś.
