As an example, Zandberg gives a change in the position of head of the wellness department – Isabella Leschina (KO) replaced lawyer Jolanta Sobieranska-Grenda. Leader Together, he firmly claims that specified a rift is pointless, if inactive
20 billion PLN is missing for the functioning of hospitals.

Prime Minister Tusk argued that the decision would strengthen the function of the head of diplomacy in global relations. However, the Leader Together has a disagreement about this. "I do not think that anyone outside Poland is peculiarly afraid about whether individual who represents Poland has written 'Vice Prime Minister' on his business card, due to the fact that adequate strength and seriousness gives the Minister of abroad Affairs the fact that he is the Minister of abroad Affairs of Poland", Zandberg commented.
