WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s prime minister says that three of her ministers have submitted their resignations in connection with the revived 2014 scandal in which secret recordings were made of government ministers’ conversations.
Ewa Kopacz didn’t say Wednesday whether she will accept the resignations of the health, sports and treasury ministers. All three were secretly taped during private meetings in Warsaw restaurants in 2013 and 2014. An investigation into the illegal recordings is still underway.
Kopacz has indicated she will fire Prosecutor General Andrzej Seremet, who is leading the investigation. She says the probe is slow-going and that she doesn’t accept his report on why classified files from the investigation were leaked onto Facebook this week.
