Agnieszka Bartol replaces Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz. Political scientist: This is a great value

Agnieszka Bartol will join Donald Tusk's government as a non-partisan expert, currently serving as Poland's permanent representative to the EU. Political scientist Andrzej Zybała emphasized the importance of appointing someone knowledgeable rather than a party politician. He noted that assessing the effectiveness of such appointments takes time, as projects in the ministry can span many years. Zybała expressed hope that Bartol would maximize the benefits of EU funds for society. He also expressed skepticism about the accountability of former minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, suggesting that there are insufficient mechanisms for evaluating politicians' performance based on data and expertise.
