Let's recall that General Kukuła for many years headed the territorial defense forces, at the end of the United Right government he became the general commander of the armed forces, and a moment before the 2023 elections he took up his current position as the chief of the general staff of the Polish Army, and this does not often happen in our politics and public life that after the new ruling coalition takes power, the new head of the Ministry of National Defense leaves him in this position, as I said, this is quite a commendable exception because usually it is the case that the authorities sweep practically everyone away and completely new people are put in, and where, as in the army, this continuity of power, continuity of command is very important and that is how it should generally look in mature democracies.

I will discuss this shortly with my guests. Hanna Szymerska, Grzegorz Górny, two specialists on Hungary. "
