The second government of Józef Cyrankiewicz, led by Prime Minister Józef Cyrankiewicz, marked a significant period in Polish political history. Józef Cyrankiewicz, who had held the position of Chairman of the Council of Ministers since March 18, 1954, resigned on February 20, 1957.[1] This resignation followed his dismissal on that day by the State Council. The Sejm of the Polish People's Republic subsequently adopted the government proposal presented by Józef Cyrankiewicz. On February 20, the Sejm appointed Józef Cyrankiewicz as Prime Minister and charged him with outlining the government's composition. A week later, the Sejm approved the proposed government, comprising 30 individuals, including the Prime Minister, three vice-presidents, the chairman of the Planning Commission, and 25 ministers. To accommodate the planned restructuring of the supreme administrative bodies, five ministers held dual portfolios, while two ministries remained vacant. The government remained in office until May 18, 1961, when Prime Minister Józef Cyrankiewicz, along with the entire cabinet, resigned three days before its scheduled dissolution.
