TVN24 journalist Agata Adamek says former National Security Office chief Marek Siwiec will become head of the Sejm Office if Włodzimierz Czarzasty is elected Marshal.
TVN24 Report on Siwiec
Agata Adamek conveyed that Siwiec’s name appeared prominently in discussions about the position. She confirmed that he would be appointed head of the Sejm Office should Czarzasty win the Marshal’s seat, noting that Siwiec is a close associate of ex‑minister Aleksander Kwaśniewski.
Gazeta.pl Shortlist Observation
Marta Rawicz reported on Monday that Siwiec is seriously being considered for the post, being placed on a short list of candidates. A left‑wing politician opined that Siwiec would ultimately be chosen, citing his managerial experience from the National Security Office and tenure as vice‑chair of the European Parliament.
Alternative Candidate: Bartosz Machalica
Other left‑wing politicians discussed with “Super Express” expressed skepticism, citing a different potential appointee. They pointed to Bartosz Machalica—a prominent leftist activist and IPN college member—and Magda Zdyra, vice‑chief of the Senate Office, as the names most floated for the role.
Political Party Perspective
Quotations from party officials revealed that the selection process remains under discussion, with no definitive decision made yet. They emphasized that the seeker would need proven management skills.
PiS Reaction
The ruling court‑and‑party (PiS) issued an angry statement condemning these discussions, describing the “reconstruction group of the former Polish United Workers’ Party” disdainfully.
