Jack Siewiera's resignation: Oxford or the conflict with Paprocka?
One of the most crucial changes is the resignation of Jack Siewiera as head of the National safety Bureau (BBN). The authoritative reason for his departure is his willingness to take a scholarship to Oxford University. However, as the Onet portal reports, the real origin may be the increasing conflict between Siewiera and the President's Chancellery chief, Margaret Paprocka.
The fresh head of the BBN is to be General Dariusz Łukowski, the current deputy of Siewiera, considered a close associate of Paprocka. This is the next step that may indicate the increase in the influence of the president's chief Chancellery.
