Councilors call for Szczecin Mayor to resign

Mirosław Czesny arrived in Szczecin six months ago to preside over the MKS Pogoń sports club. Czesny is known for his close relationship with Antoni Ptak, who took over and turned the ailing club around. In return Ptak demanded that the city repay him with the right to lease five hectares of land to build a fair center, hypermarket and a gas station, but without an organized tender. All these facts have forced a majority of city councilors to call for Jurczyk's dismissal. However, Jurczyk declared that he will not resign. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 6) A.K.
