The Ministry of abroad Affairs (MSZ) confirmed on Tuesday that it received a proposal from the Polish Ambassador to the United States. Marek Magierowski demands compensation for the work he would do until 23 November 2025. According to Virtual Poland, the ambassador has been called to the country and is demanding compensation for work that has not been done.
The MFA, answering questions from Virtual Poland, stressed that it does not comment on the details of the proposal of Ambassador Magierowski or the circumstantial sum of the compensation requested. However, the hotel clearly stated that "Mr. Magierowski's proposal does not find any justification in the applicable legislation".
The ministry's press secretary expressed the ministry's position, saying, "In the absence of grounds for payment, it is clear that the MFA is not considering specified an agreement". He besides added that the ministry was open to requests from returning ambassadors who are not staff of the MFA to terminate the employment relation by agreement of the parties or others in accordance with the law of dissolution.
No compensation for ambassadors
The Ministry explained that "there is no compensation mode" for ambassadors called into the country. Under the current rules, ambassadors shall receive remuneration resulting from the appointment. The Ministry stressed that ambassadors who have been called into the country can only make proposals for termination of employment, but there is no anticipation of obtaining financial compensation for undeclared work.
No answer from Ambassador Magierowski
Ambassador Marek Magierowski did not answer questions sent by Virtual Poland, announcing that until the end of his mission he would not comment on the case or answer questions from the media.
Reactions and future actions
The issue of Ambassador Magierowski's proposal has already sparked considerable controversy and interest in the public. The decision of the MFA to reject the proposal may lead to further discussions on the rights and obligations of ambassadors and on the principles of their remuneration.
It is worth watching how the situation will make and what steps will be taken by Ambassador Magierowski erstwhile he returns to the country.
