Deputy Sports and Tourism Minister Ireneusz Ra\u015b faces intense scrutiny and calls for resignation after investigations reveal he previously profited from micro-apartments in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a while overseeing short-term rental legislation. <\/p>\n
As reported by Money.pl, Deputy Minister of Sport and Tourism Ireneusz Ra\u015b, who is responsible for work on the short-term rental bill, derived income from renting micro-apartments in a \u0141\u00f3d\u017a tenement. Two weeks before taking office, the PSL politician sold two premises to his brother, Rev. Dariusz Ra\u015b, while a third apartment went to his ex-wife during a property division.<\/p>\n
Responding to allegations on the “Graffiti” program, Ra\u015b stated that he sold the properties and could not have known a month prior that he would be elected Sejm member, adding that he is not a prophet. He assured that the premises were not used for short-term rental and that he did not inform the prime minister or sports minister about owning them.<\/p>\n
PiS Vice-President Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek stated that Ra\u015b should be removed from working on the bill because he is pursuing his own interests rather than those of ordinary tenants. Czarnek called it a classic conflict of interest, arguing that basic decency requires stepping aside from processing the legislation.<\/p>\n
Addressing calls for his resignation by the opposition, Ra\u015b asked why he should step down, criticizing journalists for what he termed “lying with the truth.” He stated he is not a wealthy man and needed money to build his family home. In a Facebook statement, he emphasized that he has consistently disclosed his assets since 2005 and has nothing to hide.<\/p>\n
The government adopted the draft amendment regulating short-term rentals in mid-July. Ra\u015b assured that all legislative actions regarding short-term rentals are fully transparent, compliant with applicable procedures, and that every stage of the work is documented and publicly accessible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
