The Council of Ministers has appointed Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka as the new Government Plenipotentiary for State Resilience, replacing her previous role overseeing the EU-funded SAFE military procurement program. <\/p>\n
Government spokesperson Adam Szlapka announced the appointment during a Tuesday conference, highlighting Sobkowiak-Czarnecka’s proven track record. He noted their previous successful collaboration during Poland’s presidency of the Council of the EU, describing her as a minister who executes all projects perfectly.<\/p>\n
Sobkowiak-Czarnecka explained that the shift in title reflects the next phase of the SAFE program. Her new mandate focuses on coordinating actions related to the defense industry, while she continues her responsibilities at the Ministry of National Defense regarding modernization, equipment procurement, and securing acquisition funding.<\/p>\n
The new plenipotentiary will ensure that existing SAFE contracts are fulfilled on time by the Polish defense industry. Her role also involves negotiating joint purchases with international partners and promoting Polish firms to increase exports in the defense market, transitioning Poland from its previous status as a primary importer.<\/p>\n
Beyond military hardware, Sobkowiak-Czarnecka emphasized that state resilience includes crisis response, countering disinformation, and information security. The government initiative will also focus on defense education, providing citizens with guidance on identifying reliable information and preparing for potential emergencies.<\/p>\n
Sobkowiak-Czarnecka serves as Secretary of State at the Ministry of National Defense and previously held the position of Undersecretary of State for European Affairs. The EU\u2019s SAFE program provides approximately 43.7 billion euros in loans to Poland for defense investments, with 120 billion PLN already allocated to Polish plants for military vehicles, artillery, and IT equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
