He emphasized that helping acquaintances avoid standard healthcare paths is unacceptable, regardless of political affiliation or personal connections.<\/p>\n<p>Grabiec described these actions not as a partisan issue, but as a deeply reprehensible phenomenon prevalent in Poland. He maintained that the scandal has no structural connection to the Civic Coalition, despite the perpetrator being a KO councilor.<\/p>\n<h4>Denial of Ties to Marcin Kierwi\u0144ski<\/h4>\n<p>Addressing calls for accountability from opposition parties, Grabiec rejected any suggestion that Minister of Interior Marcin Kierwi\u0144ski bears responsibility for the case. He dismissed claims that Kierwi\u0144ski, as head of Warsaw\u2019s KO structures, is linked to Dawid Kacprzyk as absurd.<\/p>\n<p>Politicians from the Razem party have demanded Kierwi\u0144ski\u2019s resignation, arguing he should face political consequences for the scandal. Grabiec insisted that characterizing a local councilor as a ministerial associate is an attempt to politicize a real-world scandal.<\/p>\n<h4>Details of the Southern Hospital Allegations<\/h4>\n<p>Reports allege that Dr. Dawid Kacprzyk, a former emergency department coordinator and KO councilor in Warsaw&#8217;s Ursus district, earned 1.6 million PLN last year during his anesthesiology specialization. Allegations suggest that KO politicians were admitted to his department without waiting in line.<\/p>\n<p>Kacprzyk has since resigned from the Civic Coalition and his council seat, and has returned a portion of his earnings to the hospital. Warsaw Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski announced the dismissal of the entire management board of the Southern Hospital.<\/p>\n<h4>Legal and Political Fallout<\/h4>\n<p>The opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) has launched a campaign to hold the Civic Coalition accountable, displaying images of implicated officials near their parliamentary offices. PiS claims these individuals benefited from medical services at the Southern Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The District Prosecutor&#8217;s Office in Warsaw has initiated an investigation into potential health endangerment and document forgery. Meanwhile, municipal authorities and the National Health Fund are conducting audits, with Mayor Trzaskowski confirming that inspections will extend to emergency departments across all municipal hospitals.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jan Grabiec, head of the Prime Minister&#8217;s Office, stated on Thursday that the scandal involving Dawid Kacprzyk&#8217;s preferential hospital treatment is an isolated case unconnected to Civic Coalition politics.
