This is the best summary I could come up with:
Poland is recalling 50 of its ambassadors as part of efforts by the new, pro-European Union government to improve diplomatic missions at a challenging time, the country’s foreign ministry has said.
In its statement, the ministry said the change of the envoys was “necessary” and would serve a “better, professional implementation of the difficult tasks” facing Poland’s foreign policy.
Poland’s prime minister, Donald Tusk, said it was crucial to have a team of loyal envoys when neighbouring Ukraine is fending off Russia’s full-scale war.
The diplomats had all been appointed by the previous, rightwing administration which governed for eight years until December, when a three-way opposition alliance won an overall majority in Poland’s elections and took power with Donald Tusk as prime minister.
The Associated Press reported that the recall of the diplomats may not get the approval of President Andrzej Duda, who has been linked to the previous rightwing government and is critical of Tusk.
If Duda does not approve of the changes, the charges d’affaires would remain as heads of missions in locations where ambassadors were told to return home.
