The withdrawal of permission to employ Maria Thun stemmed from the parties failing to reach agreement on employment terms, according to the Central Information Technology Center. It was stressed that no employment relationship was ultimately established.
On Thursday, PiS MPs Waldemar Buda and Marcin Horała led a parliamentary inspection at the Central Information Technology Center to review the process surrounding Maria Thun’s hiring and subsequent dismissal, as depicted by media reports. During a briefing in the Sejm, they contended that Thun began working at COI and warned that the state budget would likely cover severance pay amounting to 250,000 PLN upon dismissal. Buda announced that the inspection yielded emails from the Minister of Digital Affairs, Krzysztof Gawkowski, indicating approval for Maria Thun’s appointment, but that after a media storm and a directive from Prime Minister Donald Tusk, she was fired. The minister later confirmed the sequence in communications addressed to the MPs.
The Central Information Technology Center stated on Friday that it had supplied PiS MPs with documents related to the hiring process as part of the parliamentary inspection.
The documents provided include a copy of the email in which the COI Director received authorization to appoint Ms. Maria Thun as Deputy Director on January 16, 2024, the draft employment contract dated January 17, 2024 that Maria Thun received after which the process to arrange necessary computer equipment began, which she did not use, and a copy of the January 18, 2024 email in which the Minister of Digital Affairs withdraws authorization for Maria Thun’s appointment as Deputy Director of COI.
The withdrawal of consent resulted from the parties’ failure to agree on the employment conditions.
– noted in the reports.
Thun’s daughter reportedly pressed for changes to severance provisions
It was explained that Maria Thun declined to sign an employment contract based on the standard terms proposed by the Central Information Technology Center and pressed for changes to the severance pay section. The director of the COI and the Minister of Digital Affairs did not agree to those alterations.
The parties did not reach an accord on employment conditions and compensation. Ultimately, no employment relationship was established.
– emphasized the Central Information Technology Center. The agency urged MPs to rely on documents rather than rumors.
COI also noted that, in accordance with its articles of association, the institution is run by the director with the support of deputies; the COI director is appointed and dismissed by the minister; COI deputy directors are appointed and dismissed by the COI director, with ministerial approval required for deputy director appointments.
There were no recent competitive selections for the posts of Director of COI or Deputy Directors in recent years, according to the organization.
Media reports in early February alleged that Maria Thun, the daughter of MEP Róża Thun, may have worked at the Ministry of Digitalization as Deputy Director of the Central IT Center for a day at the ministry led by Krzysztof Gawkowski, and that Prime Minister Donald Tusk would decide on her dismissal. Journalists cited a contract purportedly providing six months of severance pay, totaling about 252,000 PLN gross. In response, the Ministry of Digitalization stated that Maria Thun was not employed by the Ministry or the Central Information Technology Center, but was in the process of joining COI.
Because the parties could not agree on the employment terms, the contract could not be concluded and Ms. Maria Thun did not report for work. – noted the statements released.
The Ministry’s message was clear: there would be no check-in, and the matter was considered closed, as stated by Gawkowski on X last week.

He has found a sense of belonging in Turin and has repeatedly expressed happiness with the way things are unfolding on and off the pitch.nWhere will Ángel Di María be playing next season? After a lengthy period of conversations and mutual interest, the veteran winger accepted Juventus’s offer last summer and agreed to a one-year contract. The move was framed as a short-term chapter with the potential for much more, depending on how both sides view the next steps in the relationship.nWith the current deal set to expire at the end of June, 2023, Juventus has never concealed its aspiration to keep Di María beyond this season. The club believes his quality, experience, and leadership could be invaluable for the squad as they pursue domestic consistency and European ambitions. Yet, there is an underlying understanding that the decision rests with the player and his family as much as with the club’s plans and financial considerations.nDi María has expressed affection for the city, the club culture, and the locker room environment. He has talked about organizing the next phase with Juventus, emphasizing that his thoughts remain focused on the present campaign and its immediate objectives. Although the future remains open, the sense of comfort and belonging is a constant in his reflections, and he stresses that the season’s outcomes will heavily influence any long-term discussions.nFrom a broader perspective, the question of continuity sits at the intersection of personal preference and professional strategy. For a player who has traversed some of football’s most demanding leagues, staying in Italy could offer stability and a platform to extend an already storied career. On the other hand, the dream of finishing in Argentina, perhaps back at Rosario Central where his journey began, lingers as a real possibility that adds a layer of emotional weighing to the calculus.nAs the campaign unfolds, the club’s leadership will weigh several factors: performance metrics, squad composition, salary structures, and the evolving landscape of European competition. Di María’s contributions in terms of on-field output, mentorship for younger teammates, and public relations value also factor into the discussion. It is a decision that blends sentiment with pragmatism, especially for a player who has always approached challenges with a clear sense of purpose.nUltimately, the next few weeks will determine whether he continues his adventure in Italy or charts a new course somewhere else. The alignment between his personal happiness, family stability, and Juventus’s long-term project will guide what happens next. Until then, observers can expect ongoing dialogue, careful planning, and a lot of patience as everyone involved navigates the tangled but hopeful path toward a definitive conclusion.”} Police Major Receives 14,000 Rubles in Severance Dispute After Dismissal in Sverdlovsk Activision Blizzard reshapes Overwatch League contracts amid uncertain outlook Rift in Polish Politics: Czarnek Fines and Debates Over EU Representation Labor Reform’s Mediation Surge and Its Impact on Dismissals
