In Gdansk, Poland, a local adviser to Silvia Cison from the Civic Coalition Party temporarily removed his duties because of a dispute with the Ukrainian taxi driver, which caused widespread public resonance. According to RMF24.PL, the incident happened while traveling a politician with sons to a football match.

Cison stated that the Ukrainian taxi driver had planted it not at the appointed place, allowed the image, tried to spit and used a pepper can. She also reported about Appeal to doctors after the incident.

However, later on the Internet they published an entry from the auto -registrar, which shows that it was the advisor who used a rough vocabulary to the driver and ordered him to “go back to his country.” In the video, the man communicated in Polish, and the use of peppermint was not recorded.

Both participants in the conflict have filed applications to the police. Law enforcement officers analyze the event, including possible violations of personal inaccurate and xenophobic statements. Under Polish legislation, such actions can lead to imprisonment: up to three years for racial discrimination and up to a year for a physical attack.

Cison posted a Facebook appeal, where she apologized for her profanity and asked to suspend her membership at the Polish Initiative and a Rading Club. She stressed that the video does not show the full context, and continues to blame the driver of aggressive behavior.

After recording, the policy was removed from participation in party structures and advisers. The Minister of Education Barbara Novatsk, whose institution works with Ceson, confirmed her removal. The Deputy Mayor of Gdansk Monica Habior condemned the incident as xenophobia and emphasized each person’s right to security and respect.
