No Fire cover : how do you know? .They are permanently based and avail on PPR 24/7. I doubt very much they wee not warned of the aircraft departure.
On the" departed without ATC authorization" , different States have different rules on that , maybe it is the case in Poland not sure , , but in may other parts of the world if ATC is not avail , as indicated before it is A/A and a class G departure. VFR. Perfectly OK.
Done everywhere all the time . I would say it t only made the news here because it is President on board in a very politically divided country ...
