“Who else in Civic Coalition knew about this situation? Who made the decisions? Who exactly benefited from preferential treatment, and what gains did they derive from it? Poles have the right to know the truth,” stressed Mariusz Błaszczak, head of the Law and Justice parliamentary caucus, in a video published on social media.
KO hospital scandal
The “hospital” scandal surrounding Civic Coalition and Warsaw’s Southern Hospital is causing growing controversy. Attention was first drawn to the high earnings of Dawid Kacprzyk, a 28-year-old doctor without a specialization, former councillor and Civic Coalition activist. He served as coordinator of the Hospital Emergency Department and was reportedly paid around PLN 1.6 million for medical services performed in 2025.
According to findings by the portal zero.pl, Kacprzyk was said to have worked a total of 3,976 hours at the facility in 2025, an average of 331 hours per month. The duty rosters presented suggested that some of his shifts may have lasted continuously for as long as three or four days. Further reports concerned the alleged operation of a “fast track” at the hospital for Civic Coalition politicians and members of their families, as well as their possible access to a so-called VIP lounge.
“This matter requires a full explanation, not sweeping under the rug”
Mariusz Błaszczak, head of the PiS parliamentary caucus, addressed the issue in a video published on X.
“The network built at the top levels of Civic Coalition is beginning to fall apart. A 28-year-old from that party’s youth wing was supposed to have earned PLN 1.6 million at Southern Hospital, often without even showing up for work. He was employed there to oversee VIP lounges for Civic Coalition bigwigs who wanted to receive medical treatment without waiting in line. All of this is happening during the greatest crisis in the health service in history,”
the politician said.
He then listed: “A massive budget hole, cancelled procedures, postponed operations and record-long queues. This is what ordinary patients face. Privileges are reserved only for those with a party card from Tusk’s party.”
In his view, “there are still more questions than answers in this case.”
“Who else in Civic Coalition knew about this situation? Who made the decisions? Who exactly benefited from preferential treatment, and what gains did they derive from it? Poles have the right to know the truth. This matter requires a full explanation, not sweeping under the rug,”
he concluded.
