Polish President Andrzej Duda will deliver an inaugural lecture titled “The Significance of Historical Truth” at Father Tadeusz Rydzyk’s Torun-based university, the Academy of Social and Media Culture, during the institution’s September 15 inauguration ceremony.
President Duda’s Potential Post-Presidency Plans
Recent reports suggest that Duda is actively seeking a post-presidency role and has ruled out plans to discreetly disappear from the public sphere. There is uncertainty regarding whether his lecture at Rydzyk’s university will mark a single appearance or the beginning of a broader collaboration.
Future Career Speculations
Speculation about Duda’s post-presidency plans has included potential involvement in initiatives such as the Three Seas Initiative think-tank and a role within the International Olympic Committee. However, sources close to Duda indicate no current intentions to found a political party, challenge leadership in the Law and Justice party, or engage in strictly political endeavors.
Return to Academic Work Unlikely
Duda, who formerly worked at the University of Jagiellonian’s Law and Administration Department, will not return to academic work there following a mutual agreement to end their employment relationship after 27 years.
