The article centers on the care of an 80-year-old man, Jerzy Ż., and the conflicting statements made by Karol Nawrocki, a Polish politician. Nawrocki had claimed to be caring for Jerzy, who had previously transferred his apartment to Nawrocki. However, it's revealed that Jerzy is in a state-funded nursing home, with the costs covered by the city of Gdańsk and Jerzy himself.
Daniel Stenzel, spokesperson for the mayor of Gdańsk, confirmed that the city's Municipal Center for Social Assistance (MOPR) has been involved in Jerzy's care since 2007, arranging professional care services. Since April 2024, Jerzy has resided in a nursing home, with the city and Jerzy covering the costs (approximately 92,000 PLN annually).
Nawrocki claims he hasn't seen Jerzy since December and insists all legal and ownership issues surrounding Jerzy's apartment were resolved during an ABW investigation. He denies any financial benefit from the apartment and states he continues to pay associated fees. He attributes his inability to contact Jerzy to his position as head of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), requiring his residence in Warsaw.
The article contrasts Nawrocki's statement with neighbors' accounts, who haven't seen Jerzy in at least six months. While the article reveals Jerzy's current location, it withholds the information for privacy reasons. Nawrocki's claim of having no financial benefit from the apartment is countered by the fact that he hasn't contacted or provided care for Jerzy for months.
