The recording led to the immediate resignation of councilman KO.

The article reports on the immediate dismissal of Piotr Matan, a council member of the Citizens' Coalition (KO), following a video recording of an altercation with a Ukrainian taxi driver. The incident, which went viral on social media, involved verbal abuse and physical confrontation. The Świętokrzyski Voivodeship stated that Matan’s behavior was 'unacceptable,' citing his use of influence and disrespectful treatment of other social groups. Matan denied using physical violence or offensive language, claiming he acted within his authority as a representative of the voivode and that the situation was provoked to gain attention. The KO has suspended him from party duties and initiated disciplinary proceedings, which could result in the loss of all his positions within the coalition.

Bias read (Center): While the incident involves a political figure and his actions reflect poorly on his conduct, the article presents both perspectives: the official condemnation from authorities and Matan’s defense.
