Nawrocki Accused of Abandoning Elderly Man

Poland

Polish outlet Onet reported that Karol Nawrocki, a presidential hopeful backed by Andrzej Duda, is under fire for allegedly failing to care for 80-year-old Jerzy Z., who had transferred ownership of his flat to Nawrocki and his wife in 2017 in exchange for promised assistance. Jerzy Z. is now living in a state-run care facility in Gdańsk, with no support from Nawrocki, according to Onet, CE Report quotes PAP

Nawrocki claims he lost contact with the man in late 2024, but Onet reporters quickly located him. Nawrocki's spokeswoman insists he helped Jerzy Z. for years, providing financial and practical support. The case has sparked political tension, with a top presidential aide calling the report a smear campaign, while Interior Minister Siemoniak defended press scrutiny as a democratic necessity.
