- Civic coalition councilors are demanding further resignations related to a flood relief fund scandal.
- They seek the dismissal of the president of the Karkonosze Regional Development Agency and its supervisory board.
- The councilors argue that the dismissal of the former vice-president is insufficient given the alleged irregularities in flood support.
Councilors from the Civic Coalition (KO) are escalating their demands in the wake of a scandal involving flood relief funds, calling for additional resignations. They are specifically targeting the leadership of the Karkonosze Regional Development Agency (KARR).
The KO councilors are demanding the dismissal of KARR's president, Hubert Papaj, and the entire supervisory board. They contend that the recent removal of the agency's former vice-president is an inadequate response to the reported irregularities concerning the distribution of flood support.
This push for further accountability suggests a belief that the scope of misconduct extends beyond the individual already dismissed. The councilors' stance indicates a desire for a more comprehensive investigation and restructuring within the agency to address the alleged mismanagement of funds intended for flood victims.
