Organizers have set a timeline for a recall referendum against Warsaw Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski, with signature collection scheduled to take place between mid-July and mid-September of this year.<\/p>\n
The “Capital Referendum Operation” initiative has released its official schedule. Organizers plan to begin gathering signatures in mid-July and conclude by mid-September. A 30-day verification period would follow, with the referendum potentially taking place in early December if requirements are met.<\/p>\n
Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski dismissed concerns regarding city paralysis, stating he remains focused on urban development, security, and city strategy. He emphasized that the city will continue to function normally despite the opposition’s political maneuvering.<\/p>\n
Trzaskowski also addressed questions regarding his relationship with Minister Marcin Kierwi\u0144ski amid local controversies, asserting his role as the person responsible for maintaining high standards and making clear decisions for the city.<\/p>\n
To trigger a referendum, organizers must collect approximately 132,000 signatures, representing 10 percent of Warsaw’s eligible voters. For the vote to be valid, turnout must reach three-fifths of the total voters from the most recent local election, which equates to roughly 450,000 people.<\/p>\n
Warsaw previously held a referendum to recall Mayor Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz in October 2013. The attempt failed to meet the required 30 percent turnout threshold, with only 25.66 percent of eligible voters participating.<\/p>\n
On May 24, residents of Krakow voted to recall Mayor Aleksander Miszalski. With a turnout of 29.99 percent, 176,228 citizens cast ballots, and 97.93 percent of those who voted favored his removal from office.<\/p>\n
Following the result, Miszalski acknowledged the voters’ decision and expressed his commitment to a stable transition, noting that the city would be placed in the hands of a commissioner to ensure continuity.<\/p>\n
