Local referendums. First in Częstochowa, then also in other cities?

In Częstochowa, a referendum is set to take place regarding the dismissal of Mayor Krzysztof Matyjaszczyk, following corruption allegations against him. The local electoral procedure requires a significant turnout for the referendum to be valid, with specific thresholds for both the mayor and city council. Similar initiatives are emerging in other Silesian cities, indicating a broader trend of residents seeking to remove local officials. Challenges in the procedural aspects of these initiatives are also highlighted, as seen in Zawiercie where a late submission prevented a referendum.
