Sikorski resigns from government

Defence Minister Radosław Sikorski has resigned from the government and this has been accepted by Polish Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński.

According to some sources, the Defence Minister resigned because of a conflict with intelligence chief Antoni Macierewicz. Several days ago, minister Sikorski allegedly officially requested the dismissal of Macierewicz.

It has also been suggested that the defence minister was openly critical of Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński and President Lech Kaczyński.

Commentators also say that Radosław Sikorski had been in conflict with head of the President's office Aleksander Szczygło.
