Ambassador to the Czech Republic dismissed for speaking about Turów

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki decided to start the procedure of dismissing the Polish ambassador to the Czech Republic.
Ambassador Mirosław Jasiński was appointed to his position only on December 20, 2021. As reported by the Polish Press Agency, "there was no ambassador at the Polish diplomatic mission in Prague since June 2020, when President Andrzej Duda dismissed Barbara Ćwioro from her position due to allegations of mobbing employees."
How did the ambassador to Prague deserve to initiate this procedure? Well, an interview for Deutsche Welle, in which he spoke about his goals as a Czech ambassador. He dared to say there about the conflict over the Turów Power Plant, among others such words:
"It was a lack of empathy, a lack of understanding, and a lack of willingness to engage in dialogue – and this was primarily on the Polish side. After all, similar things happened in Bełchatów and Konin, and no one made a scandal about it."
In his opinion, the reason for the dispute was the arrogance of certain people in the management of the mine.
"The damage needs to be repaired immediately because if someone digs a hole, it does not mean that people from the neighborhood are to be left without water. I do not believe that a large mine would not be able to afford a water supply system for several dozen farms," Miroslaw Jasinski was to say.
As government spokesman Piotr Müller said, informing about the procedure of dismissing the ambassador, there is no consent to the extremely irresponsible statements about the mine in Turów.
