Tusk's “broom”.
In December, the head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery, Jan Grabiek, said that Prime Minister Donald Tusk had dismissed the members of the councils: the Institute for War Losses, the Institute de Republique, the Institute for Central Europe, the Institute for Generations and the Western Institute – as far as he had the right to do so.
– Such decisions have been made, and this applies not only to the members of the Council of the Institute of War Losses. Jan Karski, but also other institutions created by PiS and whose activities have been heavily criticized in recent years, on the one hand, for financial abuses and, on the other hand, for having both management and supervisory functions in these institutions. Directly from PiS circles or by people closely connected with them, the minister said.
