Karol Nawrocki, the presidential candidate from Poland's right-wing populist Law and Justice (PiS) party, has come under fire following a property deal he made with an elderly man. Nawrocki announced that he would donate the disputed apartment after facing public criticism and political backlash. The deal, which involved an 80-year-old man, triggered widespread outrage, leading to calls for stronger protection against property fraud targeting the elderly.
Political Reactions to the Scandal
The controversy has drawn sharp reactions from rival presidential candidates, with many accusing Nawrocki of exploiting the elderly man for personal gain. Several of his competitors have demanded accountability and highlighted the need for legal reforms.
Magdalena Biejat's Strong Condemnation
Left-wing candidate Magdalena Biejat took to X (formerly Twitter) to denounce Nawrocki's actions. She referred to the deal as "heartless" and called for Nawrocki to face legal consequences. Biejat emphasized that politicians like Nawrocki should not have a place in public office, particularly the presidency, and filed a formal complaint with the prosecutor's office.
Szymon Hołownia's Criticism
Szymon Hołownia, Speaker of the Sejm and presidential contender, also condemned Nawrocki's behavior. Hołownia criticized the PiS candidate for his actions, accusing him of exploiting an elderly man to gain property. Hołownia, who had previously called for Nawrocki to explain himself before the parliamentary justice committee, confirmed that Nawrocki would appear for a hearing on May 9.
Rafał Trzaskowski Questions Nawrocki's Motives
Rafał Trzaskowski, the mayor of Warsaw and Civic Coalition (KO) candidate, expressed his doubts about Nawrocki's intentions. Speaking on Radio ZET, Trzaskowski emphasized the importance of selfless acts of charity and questioned Nawrocki's explanations, which appeared inconsistent. He voiced concerns about Nawrocki's credibility, suggesting that the candidate's actions might not be entirely transparent.
Sławomir Mentzen's Heartless Label
Sławomir Mentzen, a far-right candidate from the Confederation party, condemned Nawrocki's actions as "heartless." He criticized PiS for defending Nawrocki and warned that this scandal could harm the party's chances in the presidential race. Mentzen accused PiS of prioritizing party interests over the public good, undermining political integrity in Poland.
Adrian Zandberg Questions Legitimacy
Left-wing candidate Adrian Zandberg raised questions about the legitimacy of the property transaction, speculating whether Nawrocki paid the elderly man according to the terms of the notarial deed. While acknowledging the deal may be legally valid, Zandberg pointed out the human element of the situation, which he argued was indefensible.
Joanna Senyszyn's Harsh Words
Joanna Senyszyn, another left-wing contender, took a strong stance against Nawrocki, calling him "a candidate from hell." She insisted that Poland deserves a president with a clean record, someone who speaks the truth and doesn't engage in deceitful practices.
Krzysztof Stanowski Brings Humor to the Situation
Journalist Krzysztof Stanowski, who has humorously approached his presidential bid, dedicated a segment of his popular YouTube show to discussing the Nawrocki scandal. His take on the issue blended irony with a critical perspective.
Marek Jakubiak Suggests Political Plot
Marek Jakubiak, a right-wing candidate from the Free Republicans party, expressed skepticism about the timing of the scandal, suggesting it could be a political fabrication. Speaking on Polsat News, Jakubiak speculated that the issue was orchestrated to undermine Nawrocki just days before the election. While he acknowledged that authorities claim no involvement, he implied that the situation was suspicious.
Conclusion
The scandal surrounding Karol Nawrocki's property deal has fueled a heated debate in Poland's presidential race. As rival candidates continue to voice their disapproval, Nawrocki faces growing pressure to address the controversy and explain his actions ahead of the election.
