Piątkowska took to the podium and addressed Gibała. "A bit cringeworthy"

The first city council session after the inauguration of Krakow's new mayor, Łukasz Gibała, addressed key issues including the reinstatement of a 20-minute public transport ticket and a proposal to suspend the partnership with Lviv. Senator Monika Piątkowska, who lost to Gibała, expressed her expectations for collaboration and accountability, questioning his campaign promises. She criticized the potential for nepotism in his appointments and emphasized the need for transparency in governance. Some politicians reacted negatively to her speech, labeling it as inappropriate given the timing after Gibała's inauguration.
