On Thursday morning, the Parliamentary abroad Affairs Committee voted out the candidacy of Jack Najder, who had already served as a permanent typical of Poland at NATO from 2011 to 2016. Now he would take the position replacing Tomasz Szatkowski.
Andrzej Duda was asked about the proposal for changes in diplomatic position during the press conference on the same day. According to the head of state, this is attempt to remove Tomasz Szatkowski. As he explained, this is happening on the last consecutive ahead of the NATO Jubilee Summit in Washingtonand the erstwhile Ambassador Participates in preparatory work to the summit.
Change behind the President's back
The situation itself is astonishing that, just before the NATO summit, it is trying to change the typical who is presently taking part in the preparatory work on the summit. Especially since this happens without any justification and mention to the ambassador's current activities – said Andrzej Duda. – I don't agree with the ambassador being cancelled right now. It is the fact that Mr Szatkowski has been at the facility for a good fewer years and there is simply a time of alleged rotation, so this change would most likely happen anyway, but it is not done before the main event, on behalf of the Polish State and for the Polish State, today.
At the same time, the president added that Once the NATO summit is over, we can calmly begin the process of changing our ambassador to NATO..
All the rules were broken.
As Andrzej Duda explained, the presentation of the representative's candidacy in NATO took place with a fracture any existing rules.
For so far it has always been so – not only in 9 years of my presidency, but besides for all erstwhile presidents – that first the candidacy was notified to the President. The president initially approved the candidacy and only then was it directed to the parliamentary committee, to be given an opinion by the parliamentary committee – explained.
The president summed up the situation as absolute deficiency of political culture from the government.
