The Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski decided to terminate the mission of more than 50 ambassadors and to withdraw a dozen or so candidates who had been entered for approval by the Ministry’s former senior officials, a public statement reads.
The proposed reshuffle was put forward at the Foreign Service Council and, following its approval by the Prime Minister, recall procedures have been launched.
“The government, which, under the Constitution, is responsible for foreign policy, believes that the necessary change of Polish ambassadors will help to address the difficult challenges facing Poland’s foreign policy today in a better, more professional manner,” the minister added in the statement.
Good riddance. PiS notoriously hired, wives, sons, daughters, uncles, cousins for positions where those people had zero qualifications (they required loyalty over expertise), and there is nothing showing it was different here.
Funny how that sort of nepotistic bullshit seems to be par for the course for right-wing authoritarians.
They should be given honorary Italian citizenship!
