Lubartów, September 2020
Complaint against a local government employee
We publish the content of the complaint that we have lodged against one of the employees of the City Hall of Lubartów - the Head Artur Kuśmierzak's Department of Promotion, Culture, Sport and Social Communication.
Residents may also associate him with the election lists of the current Mayor's committee, from which he ran for a councilor.
We have already dealt with attempts to depreciate our actions, downplaying achievements and attacks from the rostrum during the sessions of the City Council. In many cases, this has not met with any reaction on our part, because participation in politics, including local politics, or the reluctance of basically every authority to social control, makes us be prepared for various actions.
This time we do not leave the matter unanswered, because the matter concerns a person who is an employee of the office. Which is the person who which de facto serves as an auxiliary to the self-government community of which the inhabitants of Lubartów are members. And due to her function - responsible for social communication, promotion and cooperation with non-governmental organizations. How many more "collaborates" in this way?
