The willingness is also confirmed by Prof. Konopczynski.
Willingness of candidates
A number of children’s and youth organizations, Korczak committees and more than 50 Ladies and Knights of the Order of the Smile support me and that is a fact. I am willing to take on this mission because I believe that the office of the Ombudsman for Children requires renewal and action for the rights of all children. I believe that my competences and experience would guarantee the restoration of the authority of this office. If fate gives me such an opportunity, I am ready
– quotes the WP professor.
