Częstochowa has dismissed the president and the city council. Elections will be held.
In Częstochowa, a referendum resulted in the removal of Mayor Krzysztof Matyjaszczyk due to corruption allegations. The turnout exceeded the required threshold, with a majority voting for his dismissal. Matyjaszczyk had been unable to perform his duties for eight months due to legal issues. The initiative for the referendum was supported by various political groups, including the Law and Justice party. Following the referendum, a commissioner will be appointed until new elections are held. Matyjaszczyk, who denies the charges against him, has faced accusations of nepotism and mismanagement during his tenure.
