The Council of Ministers has appointed Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka as the new Government Plenipotentiary for State Resilience, replacing her previous role overseeing the EU\u2019s SAFE program. <\/p>\n
Government spokesperson Adam Sz\u0142apka confirmed the appointment on Tuesday, praising Sobkowiak-Czarnecka\u2019s track record in delivering projects during Poland\u2019s presidency of the Council of the EU. The shift reflects the evolving needs of the SAFE program as it enters its next implementation stage.<\/p>\n
Sobkowiak-Czarnecka explained that the mandate for the new position focuses on coordinating efforts within the defense industry and ensuring the continuity of contracts signed under the SAFE initiative. Her responsibilities also extend to negotiating joint procurements with foreign partners to transform Polish defense firms into major market exporters.<\/p>\n
Beyond her current duties at the Ministry of National Defense concerning military modernization and procurement, the plenipotentiary will oversee state resilience strategies. This includes addressing crisis response, information security, and public defense education.<\/p>\n
The government aims to educate citizens on accessing verified information, reacting to security threats, and preparing for emergency situations. Sobkowiak-Czarnecka emphasized that these initiatives are a continuation of her prior work in managing European defense-related funding.<\/p>\n
Sobkowiak-Czarnecka serves as Secretary of State at the Ministry of National Defense and previously acted as Undersecretary of State for European Affairs. Her professional background includes roles at the European Commission and various advisory positions within the Polish political landscape.<\/p>\n
The EU\u2019s SAFE program provides approximately 43.7 billion euros in loans for Polish defense investments. Following the conclusion of the initial contract phase in May, which directed 120 billion zlotys to domestic firms for equipment and technology, the focus will now shift toward joint international purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
