Indeed, I may say that the reprivatisation activities of the city hall involving a piece of land in the close vicinity of the Palace of Culture has been gaining great attention of Gazeta Wyborcza recently

The entire reprivatization mess should have been dealt with at the national level years ago. That it has not been is even more of a disgrace for Poland than having a supposedly anticorruption agency which is headed by a convicted and self-confessed criminal and actually focuses on harassing enemies of the Party rather than rooting out and stopping corruption. As I have said before in the past, people who acquired formally state-owned property at knockdown prices due to the dodgy connections they made while loyally serving the Party during the communist era should have the money they paid returned to them and the property returned to the state. It's a pity that Poland doesn't have an anti-corruption agency which can investigate such purchases.

more of a disgrace

And the authors of that disgrace were those in power -- the commie-KOR-ite clique operating under different flags, logos and names (SLD, UD, UW, PSL, AWS, PO) but essentially the same post-Magdelenka establishment that struck a backroom deal behind the backs of the Polish people and thought they would enjoy the resultant perks and privilege indefintiely.

state-owned property at knockdown prices

Does that include dictators such as Gomułka, Gierek and Jaruzelski who were formally only party leaders* but got to live in palaces and mansions free of charge?

*Jaruzelski made himself PM while anticipating his martial-law aggression on the Polish people.

They are dead, so there is no point in investigating them. However there is now another Party leader who has recently been given the use of state owned property worth tens of millions for his own personal purposes. Perhaps he should be investigated? Although given that he is the same man who appointed the convicted and self-confessed criminal who heads the anticorruption agency, it is hard to see that agency investigating him.

You mean the Sejm building?

use of state owned property

You are the only person in Poland constantly banging on about this. or that his late father bought a house. I have heard nothing about that whatsoever. But you have never once mentioned the very numerous judaeo-commie killers and torturers of the nation who all had nice homes, chauffeur-driven cars, bodyguards, maids, butlers, speical yellow-curtain shops for commie bigshots -- the lot. And there were loads of them: Michnik, Berman, Fejgin, Romkowski, Różański. Brystygierowa, Mietkowski, Czaplicki, Światło, Minc and the list goes on and on. Many hid behind phoney Polish surnames like Różański (Goldberg), Czaplicki (Kurc), Światło (Fleischfarb) and Romkowski (Natan Grynszpan-Kikiel) to mention but a few. They were never punished and their victims were never reimbursed.

If you say that is off-topic, then ask yourself: what does someone's home or helicopter ride have to do with the probe of the crooked Gronkiewicz administration at city hall? Unless you mention their abuses like some post-Jewish property her husband's family got their hands on, that too is off-topic!

That's basically how they do it. Some of them really do believe they have a divine right to break rules.

No, I'm referring to the police helicopter and crew which were commandeered by a back-bench MP for a purely personal journey. Perhaps after the anticorruption agency have finished their witchhunt against enemies of the Party in Warsaw, they can investigate the chain of events that allowed such a blatant abuse of state property.

" commandeered by a back-bench MP for a purely personal journey."

What the big deal not as if Poland has a royal family to keep in helicopters, the poor guy probably had a bad day at the Sejm and was late for a family barbecue, the Police would have diverted (With him on board) if there was an emergency , and the pilots do need to keep their flying hours up , especially night ratings.

Hardly watergate or bankstergate is it.

Well, he's just a back-bencher and I don't see any others being ferried around by taxpayer-funded helicopters while constantly malignly accusing others (invariably people he has a political grudge against, like the Mayor of Warsaw) of wrongdoing...
