This will make PiS look good

Schetyna

With Donald Tusk gone to become president of the EU Council Poland's best  foreign minister in modern times, Radek Sikorski, a genius foreign-policy expert who helped lead his country to its heftiest international presence in centuries is gone. 

Grzegorz Schetyna was picked to replaced Sikorski as foreign minister on Sept. 19, when Ewa Kopacz, Poland's new prime minister, presented her cabinet. Ewa Kopacz, brought her party rival into her new cabinet as foreign minister to try to neutralize a potential challenge to her authority. He is a party insider and former speaker of Parliament who has demonstrated little interest in international relations, and who, according to his mother, learned his English from the foreign basketball players on a team he used to help run in his native Silesia. 

At a time when Russia is threatening neighboring Ukraine, even Mr. Schetyna's mother, Danuta, says her son was reluctant to take the job.

Sikorski will become speaker of Parliament.

These changes could work to the advantage of the conservative PiS Party in future elections.
