The reasons behind General Rajmund Andrzejczak’s removal have drawn heated discussion online. A prominent Polish outlet, Dorzeczy.pl, claims to have uncovered the true motives behind the decision made by the nation’s top military figure.
President Andrzej Duda dismissed General Andrzejczak along with Lieutenant General Piotrowski and named Lieutenant General Wiesław Kukuła as Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army. In parallel, Major General was appointed as Operational Commander of the Armed Forces Departments. Maciej Klisz took the role previously held by the territorial forces commander, while General Kukuła became the overall commander of the forces. The coverage underscores a pivotal leadership reshuffle at a moment of strategic focus for the Polish military.

The portal Dorzeczy.pl asserts that General Andrzejczak is an “irresponsible man.”
The presidential palace had defended Andrzejczak for some time, but the general ultimately stepped aside. An unnamed source connected to the army leadership described him as unreliable in this role.
– this is what an individual linked to the leadership of the Polish army shared with the portal.
The tension between the top general and the defense minister is a topic of discussion in the report.
In summary, Andrzejczak was said to enjoy strong media visibility, which seemed to outpace concrete actions. He spoke frequently about creating a new strategic vision, which sounded compelling but produced little tangible result. There were also occasional remarks judged as irresponsible.
– the portal notes.
The piece goes on to outline additional alleged factors behind the departure. Andrzejczak was reportedly influenced for a period by a well-known geopolitician with questionable foreign contacts, according to the portal.
This influence allegedly led to leaks of sensitive information, described as extraordinary and troubling. The report suggests that a taste for sensational journalism did not suit the role of chief of the general staff.
