Prior to the last weekend, Karol Nawrocki announced that the head of his cabinet would be Paweł Chiefernaker, MP of the Law and the head of his election staff. His deputy will be Jarosław Dębowski, the manager of the president's office at the Institute of National Memory.
It is besides known that the press spokesperson will be Rafał Leśkiewicz, with whom Nawrocki worked at the IPN.
The remainder is speculation.
Czarnek, Rabenda, Cenckiewicz – name exchange launched
According to the latest findings of "Newsweek", President's Chancellery's chief would be Przemysław Czarnek, erstwhile MEN chief. – This will mean that the PiS wants to have control of the president who will play respective pianos – rated in TVN24 Szymon Holownia.
The Vice-President of the Chancellery may be Karol Rabenda, Vice-President of the City Council of Gdańsk, a PiS staffman and a friend of Nawrocki. His name was changing before the weekend.
There were besides 2 more. General Krzysztof Radomski, released in 2023 from the position of Chief of the Military Control Inspectorate, and Prof. Sławomir Cenckiewicz, erstwhile Head of the Military Historical Office, accused of removing papers from military archives.
According to the first reports of "Rzeczpospolita" Cenckiewicz would be considered as the head of the BBN.
– I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be amazed if Mr. Cenckiewicz became head of the BBN. He has already shown that he has proven himself as a soldier to fight KOs and the government – he comments on the subject with prof. Tomasz Nałęcz, historian, university lecturer, erstwhile Deputy Marshal of the Sejm and advisor to president Bronisław Komorowski.
– From all the behaviour of Karol Nawrocki in the election run and from his first moves and statements, there is simply a clear image that both his office and the law firm, Karol Nawrocki sees as a bastion to fight the government. In my opinion it is clearly visible – he thinks.
"If Karol Nawrocki uses Mr. Cenckiewicz, it will show his strategy"
Let us remind you, Sławomir Cenckiewicz led the Russian Influence Commission, lex Tusk. who prepared a celebrated study in 2023 attacking Donald Tusk and another KO politicians, including Bogdan Klich, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz and Tomasz Siemoniak, recommending that public positions concerning the safety of the state should not be entrusted to these people.
It is also, alongside Michał Rachonia, the author of the documentary series "Reset", which set fire to the Polish right hand precisely 2 years ago.
Reports of him as a possible candidate for head of the BBN have sparked a wave of comments and disbelief.
He himself referred to them last week: "Do not furniture in the media and behind the scenes (calling and tormenting) the law firm to president Karol Nawrock – these are only his decisions!".
Now "Newsweek" says that "almost certain" is Cenckiewicz's entry into either the BBN or the Chancellery of the President.
– Mr Cenckiewicz has made respective appearances in public life, including from our hero, Lech Wałęsa, making an SB agent. I think no substance what position he would take in the President's Chancellery, he'll be the same. So if Karol Nawrocki uses Mr. Cenckiewicz, it will show his strategy. The fact that his goal is simply a frontal short circuit and a war with the government – says Prof. Nałęcz
– That's how much his possible nomination would matter. But for Polish safety and the army, it would mean nothing good. It's like you asked me what it would mean for kindergarten, that the wolf would become a kindergarten teacher – he adds figuratively.
General: I think Sławomir Cenckiewicz will not become the head of the BBN
Cenckiewicz was on the committee of support for Karol Nawrocki. "He was 1 of the originators of the candidacy of Karol Nawrocki" – she heard from 1 of the politicians of PiS "Rzeczpospolita".
However, the military we are asking do not want to mention to media speculation about it.
– I think Sławomir Cenckiewicz will not become the head of BBN. I think the president will be more curious in working with the government on safety and military matters than in looking for what is disputed. And it is known that Cenckiewicz is controversial and has so far fought hard against the government. So I don't fishy the president will decide to do that. But if it did, it would be the President's mistake. And a very bad signal – says only 1 general, asking for anonymity.
Marek Siwiec, head of BBN from 1997 to 2004, reacts: – Mr.Cenckiewicz is known for his another qualifications. He did not associate with this field of state activity. I'm leaving out his controversy.
What should a individual have as head of the NSA?
– First of all, the President's absolute trust. And absolutely clear what the president wants in this area. These are the 2 most crucial conditions. They are not sufficient, but they are essential to think about performing this function – he says on Thematic.
It reminds me that the National safety Bureau is like a mini ministry in the structures of the President's Chancellery. His activities include military, abroad policy, fire brigade, natural disasters, shelter construction, surveillance of top secret information, etc. It has its budget, its separate headquarters, it's very autonomous in what the president does.
What if Cenckiewicz were to take over?
– Deep water – answers briefly.
Will Karol Nawrocki perceive to Novogrodzka?
Whether the historian takes any position in the President's Chancellery, it will be a large experimentation anyway. And its composition, as prof. Tomasz Nałęcz comments, will be the first test of what way Karol Nawrocki will besides take towards Novogrodzka.
I'm curious in the relation between Mr. Nawrock and Mr. Kaczyński. I think we might have the biggest surprise here. Karol Nawrocki, as a politician, will play his game. He will effort to play both the PiS and the Confederacy. He will besides effort to be a card dealer on the back side of the Polish right. I think there may be a large surprise here for Mr Jarosław Kaczyński, who is not utilized to relations another than the senior-lennik relationship," says Prof. Nałęcz.
– The first test is the composition of the firm. If it is actual that Mr Nawrocki did not agree with Mr Kuchciński at the law firm and looking at the first nominations officially confirmed by the President-elect, then it is clear that he will effort to build his squad from his own elements. Not to take the lead in the regiment, which will be formulated by president Kaczyński," he adds.
Paweł Chiefernaker is from the PiS, but, as he points out, does not belong to the hard core of the batch.
– He is simply a man who has so far owed Joachim Brudziński much. But it's a full fresh generation of politicians. It's not the PC order the president has the top assurance in. He's not like Mr. Kuchciński or Suski. Of course, he will effort to be loyal to his formation and chairman. But he knows that for natural, biological reasons, president Kaczyński goes back to the past. And Charles Nawrocki is simply a man of the future. I wouldn't be so certain if things weren't on the edge of the knife, Mr. Chief Chief would have obeyed the disposal of the Novogrodzkas. In my opinion, he will be loyal to the president – he believes.
"I think it's starting to decision towards the Autonomous Office."
Who else can we see at the President's Chancellery? During 1 of Nawrocki's presidential debates, he mentioned that he would like Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, a longtime Euro MP of the Law and Justice.
Prof. Tomasz Nałęcz says he does not follow these individual reports with baking on his face. due to the fact that if it is, it's not hard to predict.
– The essence of the President's office is the autonomy of the current political dispute. The president should be on it. He represents all Poles. And that requires cutting the umbilical cord with the camp to which the president owes the choice. The composition of the law firm is simply a very crucial component of this autonomy. And with all my skepticism towards Karol Nawrocki, it seems to me that this is starting to decision towards an autonomous office. This would be the first signal that Karol Nawrocki may not be Andrzej Duda – he believes.
According to him, another people in the Chancellery of the president will besides be associated with Karol Nawrocki. He speaks of loyalty from his position for 5 years working at the President's Chancellery.
– The palace is simply a unique place. The president is simply a man with the strongest civilian mandate and legitimacy in Poland. Everyone else, regardless of their rank, performs their duties due to his trust. There is simply a very strong bond of loyalty to the President," he says.
Besides, he thinks Nawrocki will be reasoning about re-election in 2030.
– With the bare eye, you can see that with the votes of the election PiS, you won't win. That's why he'll take care of the correct relation with the Law and Justice, but if you can own the Law and Justice, it'll make re-election very difficult. By becoming a PiS man, the end of the pen, as it was with Andrzej Duda, he will distance himself. It will not gain support from another right-wing and centre-right environments – the prof. analyses.
– We'll see what happens. The election run showed that Karol Nawrocki, a man out of nowhere, learns politics rapidly – he adds.
