– From a social point of view, this is a very bad time for the dismissal of the health minister – said Jankowski. – Today we feel like bus passengers. The bus stopped at the stop. The driver got out and we do not know if we will go further and which way we will go – he admitted.

Dr. Jankowski said that in this situation there is “fear and uncertainty as to what the implementation of the new minister” of health will look like. – The moment is really difficult: schools are about to start, we are on the eve of the flu season and its overlap with the pandemic – he pointed out.

– There are still patients chronically ill, not suffering from COVID, for whom this system must be efficient and improved – he mentioned. “There is still work to be done and suddenly the bus driver gets out,” he said.

The doctor said in the program that Szumowski could be remembered as “minister of dialogue”. – This dialogue has to be admitted from the beginning – he stressed. He added that a question should be asked whether Łukasz Szumowski was the minister of “effective action”.

Arłukowicz about the “sudden escape of the health minister”

Bartosz Arłukowicz, MP from the Civic Coalition, who held the same position in 2011-2015, also commented on the dismissal of the head of the health ministry. He said disembarking was too soft a word for it. – I have the impression that this is a sudden escape of the Minister of Health. Question: before what and why?

Arłukowicz recalled that the day before, Deputy Minister Cieszyński resigned from his position in the health ministry. – In fact, the captain and the first officer are leaving the ship. They leave the ship drifting towards the rock, he commented. – I think that we are the only country in Europe where the health minister and the first deputy minister de facto leave office, stop coming to work – he said, referring to the fact that the minister and deputy minister resigned during the epidemic.

The KO deputy recalled that “ten days ago, Minister Szumowski assured that he was a sailor, steersman, that the captain did not drop the ship, that he cares about people,” he enumerated. “What happened in the last ten days?” I wonder if it was just as hot in the health department – he said – I think that Minister Szumowski simply got scared of something and ran away – he summed up.

Arłukowicz on TVN24 referred to Szumowski’s statement on August 7. At that time, in the “Tłit” program in Wirtualna Polska, he assured that he would stay in his position. – In the situation we have, you can’t even talk about leaving the ship. I am a sailor and steersman, and I know that such things are not done – he argued.
