Paprocka comments on Sikorski's words and accuses him of violating the Constitution:

It's hard to find greater hypocrisy.

- It's hard to find greater hypocrisy than such a statement from the minister. The act has not changed anything in the procedure because it cannot change the Constitution; ambassadors are appointed and recalled by the President of the Republic of Poland, and for 30 years, the principle has been that before starting any talks with international partners or domestic consultations, including with parliamentary committees, there was the so-called preliminary consent of the president - said Małgorzata Paprocka in Polsat News, when asked about Radosław Sikorski's words that the president had fallen into his own trap by boycotting the effects of the law he himself signed.

- In the first decisions, the minister adhered to this procedure. This is a question for the minister and the prime minister as to why he is violating the Constitution, why he is lowering the representation of the Republic of Poland, why he does not want to speak clearly about the fact that recalling 60 ambassadors is an absolute mistake. [...] If one wants to replace very experienced ambassadors with, to put it mildly, individuals of questionable qualifications, there must be a presidential veto in this matter - she continued.
