Astrophysicist Bejger boycotts presidential ceremony, refuses nomination from Nawrocki

Astrophysicist Michał Bejger boycotted the professorial nomination ceremony at the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, refusing to receive his appointment in person from President Karol Nawrocki. "I cannot imagine being proud of receiving my nomination from a politician," the researcher said. The gesture is an unusual public act of protest by an academic against the head of state.
