Beata Szczepankowska, a city councilor and director of the local emergency medical service, was proposed as a candidate under a coalition agreement between Koalicja Obywatelska and Mayor Beata Moskal-Słaniewska. Subsequent reports highlighted financial controversies involving municipal leadership. Krystian Werecki, the First Deputy President, was found to have received over 125,000 PLN in gross discretionary bonuses between 2024 and August 2026, often cited for “exemplary performance of duties.” Questions have been raised regarding these payments, as some bonuses overlapped with existing roles, such as Werecki receiving funds for overseeing waste management while also serving as a department director. Additionally, investigations by the prosecutor's office are examining safety negligence within the Department of Spatial Planning and Architecture, which reports to Werecki, alongside concerns that many employee recognition funds allocated by Mayor Moskal-Słaniewska lacked required documentation of specific achievements. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-15: Świdnica Deputy President receives 125,000 PLN in bonuses The First Deputy President of Świdnica, Krystian Werecki, received over 125,000 PLN in discretionary bonuses amid scrutiny over overlapping duties and safety negligence investigations in his departments. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/widnica-deputy-president-receives-125000-pln-in-bonuses ### 2026-08-26: Świdnica political talks focus on new deputy president candidate Beata Szczepankowska, a city councilor and emergency service director, is being considered for the deputy president position in Świdnica following political shifts in the local coalition. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/widnica-political-talks-focus-on-new-deputy-president-candidate --- Cite as: Świdnica local government administration and financial विवाद.
