City councilor of Gdańsk, Sylwia Cison, and the Ukrainian taxi driver with whom she had a conflict during a ride have reconciled through mediation. The parties decided not to continue the dispute and requested to terminate the criminal proceedings. Additionally, the councilor committed to donate money to help children.
The incident occurred in 2025 during a trip to a match of «Lechia» in Gdańsk. Cisów was traveling with children and was dissatisfied that the driver did not want to approach the stadium directly and suggested dropping off passengers at the parking lot near Amber Expo.
Doszło do słownej sprzeczki między kobietą a kierowcą. Później nagranie z kamery samochodowej pojawiło się w internecie i wywołało szeroką reakcję społeczną.
After the video was published, law enforcement agencies got involved in the conflict. The case materials were sent to the prosecutor’s office, and an investigation began among the participants.
The parties decided to reconcile
Instead of continuing the conflict, the participants agreed to mediation. It ended in reconciliation: the parties forgave each other and jointly requested to terminate the criminal proceedings
Thus, the months-long conflict has ended without further legal proceedings
One of the conditions of the agreement was also a financial obligation on the part of the deputy. Sylwia Cison must donate to KNP LOR Centrum Zdrowia i Rehabilitacji Dzieci — an institution that provides medical assistance and rehabilitates children.
The Prosecutor’s Office has closed the case
Po osiągnięciu porozumienia prokuratura umorzyła postępowanie. Zauważono, że dalsze ściganie w tej sprawie uznano za nieodpowiednie, biorąc pod uwagę charakter sprawy oraz pojednanie jej uczestników.
The story gained significant resonance precisely because one of its participants was a sitting city councilor. After the recording appeared online, users actively discussed the behavior of the conflict participants and how a public figure should act in such situations.
The legal part of the story is now over: the deputy and the driver reached an agreement, and the case was closed
