WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The Polish government has dismissed the deputy interior minister, who was organizing security in Poland for the European football championship this summer.
A government spokesman, Pawel Gras, said Tuesday that Prime Minister Donald Tusk dismissed the official, Adam Rapacki.
No reasons were immediately given. Polish media have speculated that the government might have removed him in response to rioting during Independence Day marches in Warsaw on Nov. 11.
The marches were seen as a test of whether police and other security forces could control troublemakers during the football championship, which will be held June 8-July 1 in Poland and Ukraine.
Police were injured and vehicles damaged in the riots, the worst in Poland in years.
