Black explains the reason
Vladimir Czarzasty reported on the full situation on Thursday's TOK FM radio broadcast.
Andrzej Szejna will no longer be Deputy Minister due to the fact that there is simply a procedure for granting access to classified information by the ABW, due to the fact that he must have specified information said on air.
Deputy Marshal of the Sejm Włodzimierz Czarzasty recalled that Andrzej Szejna has been on leave for 3 months, which, in his opinion, makes him proceed to service as Deputy Minister of abroad Affairs for no purpose, even though he assesses him as a competent minister. He pointed out that, in the absence of completion of the procedure for granting access to classified information, Szejna's continued work in the ministry is presently unfounded. He besides felt it would be irrational to drag this situation through another month.
When asked on TVN24 about a possible successor, Czarzasty explained that decisions on this substance would be made in the course of individual talks with Minister Radosław Sikorski, and that the full process would take time, due to the fact that fresh ministers request to get acquainted with their teams first.

The decision to leave Andrzej Szejna from the management of the MFA is included in erstwhile media reports suggesting his intention to appeal. erstwhile spokesperson for the ministry Paweł Wroński informed that Szejna was on a free leave extended until the end of July.
According to unofficial findings of the Polish Press Agency, any of the key members of the government opposed his continued function in the ministry, although the reasons for this decision were not officially disclosed. The Agency announced that Prime Minister Donald Tusk and abroad Minister Radosław Sikorski were in favour of the departure of Andrzej Szejna from the Ministry of abroad Affairs, while the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm and co-chair of the fresh Left Vladimir Czarzasta took a different position.
As she besides stated to PAP, many left-wing politicians let the return of Szejna to the MFA after the completion of the audit procedure conducted by the ABW, but any of the interviewees did not exclude his resignation, even in the womb of their own group.
All problems with Szejna
Andrzej Szejna has been on vacation since the end of March, erstwhile the media revealed possible irregularities in the settlement of alleged kilometres, i.e. costs of travelling in private cars for business purposes. Shortly thereafter, reports were besides made of the deficiency of full verification by the ABW, even though temporary access to “closely secret” materials was granted to him by Minister Radosław Sikorski.
Andrzej Szejna was besides frequently inebriated in the Sejm and during his parliamentary work. A gathering of the bureau of the parliamentary club was even convened, the main subject of which was the appearance of Andrzej Szejna in this state. As a consequence of the meeting, it was decided to impose a reprimand on the MP and to ban media speeches. Officially as a reason indicated a breach of organization discipline in a vote in which Szejna did not participate.
One parliamentarian reported that there was no isolated incidental and that there were more akin situations. He besides drew attention to Marcelina Zawiza's actions from the organization Together, who, as then vice-president of the Left Club, was to buy a breathalyst—informally with a view to controlling Szejna's sobriety before the meetings.
Szejna assured the public that he had regulated wellness issues, including alcohol problems, and that his accounts were in line with the applicable rules. In consequence to emerging doubts Prime Minister Donald Tusk ordered his leave of absence and detailed explanation of the case.
