WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's Law and Justice (PiS) party chief Jaroslaw Kaczynski may take over supervision of the powerful justice ministry, officials said on Thursday, as PiS and its allies in government hold talks to avert a breakdown of their three-party coalition.

The move could herald some softening of the government rhetoric over Poland's opposition to gay rights and on relations with Brussels, issues at the heart of the internal rivalries and disagreements among the country's ruling conservatives.
