Life
Marcinkiewicz studied physics at the University of Breslau ( completion 1984). He then worked as a primary school teacher and vice-director in his hometown of Gorzów Wielkopolski. He gained further experience as a member of the Solidarity movement in 1981 and as editor of the Gorzów underground press in the 1980s. In 1992 he was appointed as Secretary of State in the Ministry of National Education (until 1993 ). From 1999 to 2000 he was Head of Cabinet of the Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek.
His surprising career move is mainly to be explained by that the party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski gave up the post of prime minister not to jeopardize the chances of his twin brother Lech in the presidential elections. On 7 July 2006, however, Marcinkiewicz announced his resignation as Prime Minister of Poland, which took place on 10 July. As a reason for the resignation, among other differences with Jarosław Kaczyński are presumed in the area of personnel policy and the high reputation Marcinkiewicz in the population, which could have represented a threat to Kaczynski. The Political Committee of the PiS has subsequently advised the party leader Jarosław Kaczyński for the succession.
