Polish Institute of Aviation: A world-famous expert replaced by a candidate eager to learn

A world-class expert must leave the Institute of Aviation. The unit conducting research on the latest military, space, and nuclear technologies will be headed by a politician, Tomasza Szymczak, from the governing party, Civic Platform. He admits that he is not an expert in technology, but he knows management, reported a news portal Wirtualna Polska (Virtual Poland).

It was reported that after interviews, he was the least likely candidate to get a job. But, until recently, he managed the airport in Modlin, and that was enough.

He will replace Paweł Stężycki, an expert recently elected to the position of chairman of IFAR, a global organization devoted to aviation, in which NASA plays the leading role, and its representatives decided that the Pole would be the ideal candidate.

"In Poland, it doesn't matter what professional experience or education you have - what matters is that, like Tomasz Szymczak, you are (PM) Tusk's friend. Then you can immediately become the head of the Institute of Aviation," we read in one of the entries on the X website.

PN: In the face of the threat of war, key positions are filled by people who know nothing but know Tusk.
