Sylwia C., a Gda\u0144sk councilor from the «Civic Coalition,» wants to resolve the conflict with the taxi driver. This is a consequence of the scandal in which the official insulted a man from Ukraine (their argument was recorded by the dashcam in the victim’s car). As a result, Sylwia C. has been charged by the prosecutor’s office, which she has denied.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us remind you: the portal Trojmiasto.pl was the first to publish a dashcam recording from a taxi, in which the deputy Sylwia C. was traveling with children to a match of Lechia Gda\u0144sk. She was particularly outraged that the foreign driver wanted to drop her off not directly at the stadium, but in the parking lot next to Amber Expo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 If you don’t know your way around, then you should, damn it, go back to your country. You shouldn’t, damn it, be in a country where you don’t know the language and don’t understand how to get around, \u2014 said the driver Silvia C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video, you can hear Cis\u00f3w talking to the driver, and the man responds freely in Polish, calmly addressing her remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deputy tried to justify herself on social media, posting a photo from the hospital with an IV drip and stating that the taxi driver first picked her up in an inappropriate place and then dropped her off not where she needed to be. According to Cis\u00f3w, he poorly understood Polish, and after her remark, he got angry, started cursing, tried to spit on her, and sprayed tear gas. Additionally, she claimed that the driver took out a canister of gasoline and sprayed it in her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wobec wiceprzewodnicz\u0105cego wszcz\u0119to post\u0119powanie karne<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The case of the deputy and the taxi driver first went to the police, then to the prosecutor's office<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sylwia C. twierdzi\u0142a, \u017ce taks\u00f3wkarz naruszy\u0142 jej integralno\u015b\u0107 osobist\u0105, a we wrze\u015bniu policja przyj\u0119\u0142a jej odpowiednie zg\u0142oszenie. Z kolei taks\u00f3wkarz z\u0142o\u017cy\u0142 skarg\u0119 na zniewa\u017cenie z powodu narodowo\u015bci, naruszenie swojej integralno\u015bci osobistej oraz uszkodzenie pojazdu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the authorities reviewing the case decided to focus solely on the taxi driver's statement, which led to charges being brought against the deputy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 19, 2025, the prosecutor’s office charged Sylwia C. with two offenses: insulting with the use of vulgar language (Article 216 \u00a71 of the Penal Code) and violating bodily integrity (Article 217 \u00a71 of the Penal Code). The charges did not pertain to insults based on national grounds, clarified the prosecutor’s office in Gda\u0144sk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 16, at the Gda\u0144sk-Oliwa prosecutor's office, she was officially presented with the charges and interrogated as a suspect<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sylwia C. did not admit guilt and exercised her right to refuse to testify<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case has been referred for mediation. The mediation is expected to conclude by the end of May 2026. Further procedural actions regarding the case will depend on its outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
