"I have decided to dismiss Piotr Nowak from his post as minister for development and technology," Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Thursday.

He added that he had asked President Andrzej Duda to approve the decision.

"The decision is due to the fact that the model of cooperation agreed with the minister has been exhausted," Morawiecki told reporters.

Nowak became minister for development and technology in October as part of a Cabinet reshuffle in Warsaw.
