President Andrzej Duda announced the appointment of two presidential advisors earlier this month. The Chancellery of the President confirmed that Alvin Gajadhur was named a social adviser, and Sławomir Mazurek was appointed as another adviser. The official confirmation appeared on the president’s website, providing a concise overview of the new appointments.
Alvin Gajadhur, who has led the Road Transport Inspectorate since 2016, has a long track record in public service and transportation policy. Previously, from late November through mid-December of the prior year, he held the position of Minister of Infrastructure in the government led by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. His broad experience spans regulatory oversight, infrastructure development, and the coordination of national transport strategies, placing him in a key role to advise on social policy and transport-related matters at the presidential level.
Sławomir Mazurek, the other newly announced adviser, has held various senior government roles, including Undersecretary of State at both the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Climate. He has also served as Deputy Chairman of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management. His background emphasizes environmental stewardship, climate policy, and infrastructure funding, enriching the presidential advisory team with expertise in sustainable development and environmental governance.
Additional context: discussions surrounding Crimea have been part of broader dialogues about international law and regional security. In public remarks, the president has reaffirmed that Russia’s actions in Crimea contravene international law and constitute a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. These positions align with ongoing diplomatic efforts and international responses to the crisis, underscoring the administration’s approach to foreign policy and legal norms. [Source: wPolityce]
