The mayoral candidate Paweł Krasa and the council candidate Krystian Pogan were supposed to negotiate a contract for the construction of stands on behalf of the football club in Chocznia. The club is distancing itself from their actions and claims they did not have such authorization. The situation is still developing. The story is a classic case of someone setting up another person to take the blame. The mayoral candidate Paweł Krasa and council candidate Krystian Pogan from the Municipal Community Committee in Wadowice had a mishap last weekend that could complicate their campaign. Olimpia Chocznia is distancing itself from their activities and has issued a statement. The club officials express their outrage at the candidates’ actions. “Following the appearance of a post on social media containing false information authored by Mr. Krystian Pogan, which among other things mentioned our President Daniel Mastek, we dissociate ourselves and refute the information provided there,” reads the statement published by the club on Sunday. The trigger for Olimpia’s statement was a post by council candidate Krystian Pogan, in which he informed that he and mayoral candidate Paweł Krasa took steps to secure a contract for the construction of stands for the club. “By agreement and on the orders of the president, I was obliged to find a company that would be able to construct professional stands with benches for substitutes, replacing the old ones that have long passed their prime. Thanks to the help of Mr. Paweł Krasa, I gained access to two companies specializing in the construction and installation of such stands,” Krystian Pogan informed on social media. Krystian Pogan added that he personally visited the headquarters of the companies and made sure to secure offers for the construction of stands in Chocznia. “(…) The designer accepted the offers I submitted and therefore I sincerely hope that they will be included in the financing of the building construction, contrary to the opinions of some people associated with the club (…)” adds Krystian Pogan. Meanwhile, it turns out that the expansion of the club facilities has been ongoing for some time by the club in cooperation with the municipality of Wadowice. Although Krystian Pogan is not yet a councilor, at least the councilor for two terms Paweł Krasa and at the same time a mayoral candidate should know that these types of orders are not arranged simply by visiting companies. When carrying out various investments, the municipality must adhere to the principles of public procurement. This is basic and essential knowledge for those who want to manage public assets. Both gentlemen are running in these elections for councilors, and one of them also wants to become mayor. Therefore, the club considers the candidates’ actions to be unlawful and senseless. Especially since the candidates, wanting to present themselves as “good uncles of the club,” are not even members of it. Krystian Pogan and Paweł Krasa were not authorized or asked to commission or prepare projects for the construction of substitute benches or stands. There was no logically explainable reason for this, as the investments, projects, commissions, etc., are the responsibility of the Municipality of Wadowice, and only someone inexperienced and uninformed could take such steps. Overinterpretation and the desire to make themselves known clearly blinded someone completely unrelated to LKS Olimpia Chocznia – read the statement of the club from Chocznia. Olimpia Chocznia is now considering its next steps. The club demands an apology from the candidates and suspects that they only wanted to gain attention from the residents during the election period. What was the purpose of publishing such a post by someone who doesn’t even know what the official profile of our club looks like? What was the purpose of promoting specific companies, as well as personal visits made independently… we do not know… The Club Board calls for an end to the publication of content and false information misleading the public opinion. The construction project, its construction, stands, and substitute benches are the responsibility of the Municipality of Wadowice and Mayor Bartosz Kaliński. He deserves special thanks for taking steps to bring civilization to the level of the 21st century to Kościelna Street after 25 years. We regret that people who publicly stated that clubs like Skawa Wadowice or Olimpia Chocznia are favored are using LKS Olimpia Chocznia for their own purposes. We kindly ask that if anyone wants to discuss and talk to us as the board, on this or any other topic – we are open. Let us realize our dreams, and if you do not want to help us, at least do not hinder us – read in the statement of the board of LKS Olimpia Chocznia Club. What will be the further development of events? We are waiting for further statements. The situation seems to be developing.
