“By allowing our soldiers, officers and diplomats to be punished for this kind of approach, we are sending them a negative signal that should not happen,” Tomasz Szatkowski said in an interview with wPolityce.pl, commenting on the case of General Artur Jakubczyk. .
At the request of the allies, the procedure for dismissing Brigadier General Artur Jakubczyk of the International Military Staff at NATO headquarters – said Janusz Sejmej, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, on social media. He attacked his predecessors and spoke of their so-called “another terrible personnel decision.”
The interested party himself has commented on the case.
I was denied access to the documentation that allegedly formed the basis for the Minister of Defence’s decision to dismiss me from my current position, a decision taken without my knowledge and about which I learned through the media.
– wrote General Jakubczyk.
We asked Tomasz Szatkowski, former Polish ambassador to NATO, to comment on the issue.
I am surprised by the public appreciation by Polish state institutions for the appointment of a Polish officer who won an international competition
– says Szatkowski in an interview with wPolityce.pl.

I was particularly surprised by the negative comments that his dismissal was linked to supporting a Polish woman in the race for the head of the intelligence policy department of the Joint Intelligence and Security Division of NATO headquarters. Trying to achieve stronger representation of your country in international structures is a natural instinct of mature nations. This should be an obvious attitude for us too. By allowing our soldiers, officers and diplomats to be punished for this kind of approach, we are sending them a negative signal that should not happen.
– says Szatkowski.
