Residents of Poland's Częstochowa recalled mayor Krzysztof Matyjaszczyk in Sunday's referendum. 97 percent of participating voters voted for his recall. Matyjaszczyk had already not been performing his duties for eight months due to a prosecutor's measure that banned him from entering the office and contacting employees. svet.sme.sk ↗
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk commented on the referendum result on Monday. He stated that the residents of Częstochowa held a similar view to that of the prosecutor's office and the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau. Tusk expressed satisfaction that, according to him, no one defended the mayor, including his own political party. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
The referendum took place after a period during which Matyjaszczyk was unable to work at the city office. The prosecutor's measure also prevented him from communicating with employees. Available information does not provide further details about the legal case or the specific reasons for the measure. teraz.sk ↗
Tusk described the referendum as justified and linked the result to the position of the prosecutor's office, the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, and the residents of the city. The vote thus ended Matyjaszczyk's political future as mayor of Częstochowa. The next steps following his recall and the date of new elections have not yet been specified. TVN24.pl ↗
