President Andrzej Duda concluded his term on August 6, awarding 268 employees—more than half of the Presidential Office staff—and delivered a farewell address emphasizing security and prosperity.
President Duda Awards 268 Employees
According to the press office of President Karol Nawrocki, the awards were paid out by the end of July, the final month of Duda’s presidency. The lowest payment was 600 zł, while the highest reached 4,400 zł. A total of 268 employees were recognized, representing more than half of the office’s workforce.
Award Fund Not Always Fully Utilized
The award fund has previously been partially blocked. Last year the money was redirected to aid in flood relief in Lower Silesia, and during the pandemic, bonus payouts were also suspended.
No Immediate Layoffs Planned
Nawrocki has stated that he does not intend to reduce staff levels in the Presidential Office. Workforce numbers in 2024 stood at 421 employees, according to the National Institute of Public Administration.
