Referendum in Krakow, changes in Hungary, and unexplained cases from the past
The most important event of the last few hours is the referendum in Krakow regarding the dismissal of the city authorities. According to unofficial results and exit polls, residents decided to dismiss President Aleksander Miszalski. As many as 97.8 percent of voters were in favor of his departure. Despite such a strong result, the city council will probably not be dissolved because the turnout in this case was too low and did not exceed the required threshold. Politicians, including Mateusz Morawiecki and Jarosław Kaczyński, are already commenting on these events, claiming that the residents have shown their dissatisfaction and that the current situation is only the beginning of political changes.
At the same time, a very dangerous accident occurred in Krakow during the celebration of the success of the Wisła Kraków team. In the city center, where crowds of fans gathered, an 11-year-old girl was hit in the head by a firework. The police received the report after 8:00 p.m. and are currently investigating the circumstances of this incident. This is a tragic end to the sporting celebration, for which all available tickets were sold.
On the international stage, there is much talk about the decision of Peter Magyar, the head of the Hungarian government. He announced a significant reduction in his salary – it is to be less than half of the current amount. Magyar expects a similar step from ministers, MPs, and mayors. He emphasized that he requires humility, moderation, and humanitarianism from those in power, which is to be a new standard in Hungarian politics.
Work is underway in the Polish Ministry of the Interior and Administration (MSWiA) on the issue of false reports. Minister Marcin Kierwiński described the details of an intervention at the home of Karol Nawrocki's family, where the services were called for no reason. Firefighters reported that the situation looked as if someone was deliberately playing with the intercom. The ministry announces that those responsible for such false alarms are being prosecuted and will face severe consequences.
Disturbing information about dead birds has come from Lublin. About 30 dead pigeons were found in one of the fountains in the Mickiewicz housing estate. The police and city guard took immediate action, but initial measurements did not show the presence of toxic substances in the water. The services are waiting for the exact results of laboratory tests, which are intended to explain the cause of the mass death of the birds.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the return to a high-profile criminal case from 30 years ago. This concerns the murder of Beata Bartoszuk, whose body was found in June 1994 in Gdynia. New details regarding the crime scene and the state in which the victim was found shed new light on this mysterious story. Investigators are still trying to determine exactly what happened that night, hoping for a final resolution of the mystery after three decades.
