Przydacz on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Leadership:

One on Permanent Leave Due to Alcohol-Related Issues. The Other Without Security Clearance.

- Let's look at the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, arguably the largest in the history of the Third Polish Republic. During the PiS era, there were four deputy ministers; Minister Sikorski must be assisted by as many as seven deputy ministers, along with the Director-General – said Marcin Przydacz at a press conference in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters. - One of them, Minister Szejna, is on permanent leave after enormous alcohol-related problems. Perhaps it's high time to dismiss him and appoint a proper deputy minister? – he continued. As he further stated: - The second, according to media reports, who has held his position for 1.5 years, lacks clearance for access to classified information. I worked in this building for many months. It's difficult for me to imagine being able to effectively conduct foreign policy without access to classified information. - A disgrace for the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at all levels. [...] This all leads us to one conclusion: the sooner this government resigns, the better it will be for Poland – he assessed.
