Representatives of the New Left demanded the Tokyo governor’s dismissal. The reason, they claimed, was the archbishop’s words and actions. Marek Jendraszewski. However, as they emphasized, what is important is the exclusion of metropolitan functions from the composition of the branch, which means that Jendraszewski’s successor will also not join this branch.

Krakow. They excluded Marek Jedraszewski from the award jury. an accusation was made
PiS councilors who opposed the resolution submitted an amendment to the New Left Project, but it was rejected. The proposed amendment would remove the medal from the mayor of Krakow from the jury and instead provide for the director of the National Museum in Krakow to receive the medal. PiS councilors argued that if leftists want the composition of the committee to be religiously neutral, they should maintain political neutrality, and that President Alexander Mizalskiy belongs to the Civic Platform.
Grzegorz Garborinski (New Left) submitted a draft resolution to dismiss the archbishop, saying he was personally influenced by the archbishop’s words. Jedraszewski. In his opinion, eliminating the metropolitan area would be “belated justice for those wronged by him.” The councilor cited the need to separate the state from the church as the main reason for changing the structure of the chapter.

City councilor Michał Drenicki (PiS) accused the New Left of “lack of ideas for action”. Excluding metropolitan areas, he argued, would discriminate against Catholics, who constitute an important part of society.
– You’re asking for religious neutrality, so if you want to show that you’re consistent in your views, you should consider an amendment in the spirit of political correctness, a president who promotes religious neutrality ( …) from the chapter. Political options – Drewnicki told left-wing MPs:
Another PiS councilor, Michał Ciechowski, described the New Left’s move as politically reckless. Jendraszewski’s term in the Krakow metropolitan area is coming to an end, and if the left wants a “new beginning” it will have to wait until the metropolitan is replaced in Krakow. . According to the lawmaker, excluding the metropolitan area at this point would lead to social division.
– The fact that the resolution is a personal attack on the Archbishop is clear.

The final decision will be made based on the requests of the City Council. Mr. Mashrona abstained from voting.
Alexandra Ouka, director of the Krakow population, who supported the resolution, said: “It is hard to imagine that choosing the most empathetic person to be the next bishop of Krakow would affect a badge that has an official and secular character.” ” he said.
