Presidential Chief of Staff Issues Ultimatum to Civic Coalition Politician

Presidential Chief of Staff Zbigniew Bogucki has demanded that Civic Coalition MP Stanisław Gawłowski delete allegedly defamatory social media posts regarding a trip to the Vatican, setting a deadline for Tuesday.

The Roots of the Conflict

A heated exchange on social media has erupted between Zbigniew Bogucki and Stanisław Gawłowski. The dispute centers on Bogucki’s recent visit to the Vatican, which Gawłowski alleged was a family pilgrimage funded by taxpayers, involving the use of a special government aircraft.

Bogucki’s Sharp Rebuttal

Responding via the X platform, Bogucki rejected the accusations. He referenced Gawłowski’s ongoing legal situation, noting that the MP was convicted in a non-final ruling for corruption and plagiarism, and characterized the politician’s statements as lies.

Legal Threats and Ultimatum

Bogucki has ordered Gawłowski to remove the posts and issue an apology by July 21, 2026, at 6:00 PM. He warned that failure to comply will result in a lawsuit and a private criminal indictment, particularly citing the inclusion of his family in the online attacks.
