WARSAW, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Polish Finance Minister Mateusz Morawiecki was sworn in by President Andrzej Duda as the country’s new prime minister on Monday, replacing Beata Szydlo, who became a Deputy Prime minister.
The ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party sacked the popular Szydlo last week in a bid to improve Poland’s image abroad and prepare the conservatives for a series of upcoming elections . (Reporting by Marcin Goclowski and Justyna Pawlak, writing by Lidia Kelly, editing by Larry King)
