According to unofficial media reports, Jacek Cichocki, a trusted man of Donald Tusk and former head of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration in his government, will become the new head of the Sejm Chancellery. In recent years, Cichocki has worked with the leader of Poland 2050, Szymon Hołownia. Today, before the opening session of the Sejm of the tenth term, he was spotted giving a tour of the parliament to Hołownia, who would become the new speaker of the lower house.

Tusk’s Man in Hołownia
Jacek Cichocki was always considered a confidante of Donald Tusk, even though in recent years he became associated with Szymon Hołownia’s circle. He served as his chief of staff during the 2020 presidential elections.
Cichocki was part of Donald Tusk’s government almost from the start. In 2008 he became State Secretary in the Prime Minister’s Chancellery. In addition, he became secretary of the Board for Special Services at the Council of Ministers. In the years 2011-2013, as head of the Ministry of the Interior and Administrative Affairs, he was responsible for the work of the services. He then served as minister-member of the Council of Ministers and finally as head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery.
In October, Cichocki was featured in the documentary series “Reset”. When then Prime Minister Donald Tusk visited Moscow and spoke with Vladimir Putin in February 2008, Jacek Cichocki signed an agreement in Moscow on the mutual protection of classified information.
Will Cichocki become the head of the Sejm Chancellery?
The Third Way, i.e. Poland 2050 of PSL and Szymon Hołownia, likes to emphasize its separateness from the Civic Coalition and positions itself as an alternative to the political bloc, led by Donald Tusk from 2021 onwards.
Meanwhile, news emerged in the media that Jacek Cichocki would replace Magdalena Kaczmarska as head of the Sejm Chancellery. Wirtualna Polska informed unofficially about such plans. Szymon Hołownia is being considered for the post of Marshal.
What makes the whole thing even more interesting is the fact that television cameras today captured Cichocki showing Hołownia around the parliament building.

On the way: Ministry of the Interior and Administration. When the Platform’s principals came up with the idea of the so-called “Third Way”, Cichocki was involved in the work from the start
Cichocki shows Holownia the Sejm. From what I have read, Cichocki is believed to be the head of the Sejm Chancellery. Unfortunately, the people who voted for them don’t understand what this is about
Apparently we can only feel sorry for those who voted for the Third Way because they are fed up with the Civic Coalition.
