Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Tusk said that details of the planned Cabinet changes would be unveiled after the election and would require approval from the new president.

"This will be a systemic change, after which we will have one of the smallest—rather than largest—governments in Europe in terms of structure," he added.

He told reporters that the plan involves reducing the number of ministries.

"It’s not that someone will be removed from the government as a punishment, but there will definitely be fewer ministers," he said.

Poland’s presidential election is scheduled for May 18. If no contender wins more than 50 percent of the vote, a second round will be held two weeks later.
