The conflict on the MFA-President line on the ambassadors began in March 2024 erstwhile Minister Sikorski decided that more than 50 ambassadors would end the mission. After this decision, Andrzej Duda announced that "no Polish ambassador can be appointed, nor cancelled without the signature of the President" and refused to appoint successors. Instead, diplomats designated by the MFA as charge d’affaires are sent to the facilities.
The biggest conflict concerns a individual named Bogdan Klich, who would become an ambassador to the United States. Andrzej Duda, who blames him for the Smolensk disaster, refuses to accept this. Meanwhile, Radosław Sikorki confirmed unofficial information about the president's proposal a fewer days ago. According to her, Bogdan Klich would become an ambassador to the UN, and president Krzysztof Szczerski would replace him.
Radosław Sikorski announces firm movement
On Saturday, Radosław Sikorski again referred to this proposal on TVN24. “The Russians have a saying that without vodka, you will not understand, and I am already, frankly, impatient with the situation,” said the head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs.
Sikorki said that he had already made 3 agreements with Andrzej Duda regarding ambassadors. - I kept it very close. Mr President's men are ambassadors to fresh York, London, Canada, Paris, Bucharest, Vatican and Beijing. And the president originally asked for 4 — Sikorski mentioned.
— All 3 agreements have not been met by the President, so I will ask in writing in the coming days that the president would like to abstain from my proposals. I'll retreat them. For the sake of the abroad service, for the sake of efficiency of Polish diplomacy, it will be for these ambassadors to be nominated from the successor of the president – the head of the MFA said.
— It cannot be that the president has not signed nominations for more than a year to people who have already signed nominations for another positions, or that he has not signed nominations where for many years we have vacancyes, specified as in Israel," Sikorski said.
