Karol Nawrocki used a luxurious apartment in GdaĆsk at the expense of the Museum of the Second World War – in the city where he also lives. He gives different versions about how often he used it. He also argues that he did not expose the State Treasury or the Museum of the Second World War to losses. This is disinformation.
This is disinformation by Karol Nawrocki – his Wednesday version regarding the apartment. – I never lived there for longer than ten days while I was in quarantine during COVID – said the president of the Institute of National Remembrance.
However, not living longer than ten days at a time is not the same as the version from Monday, when he only wrote that he lived twice for ten days in a room excluded from commercial use, under quarantine. In addition, in the latest version, he tries to convince that he used the apartment for business meetings.

Deluxe apartmentMuseum of the Second World War in GdaĆsk
“If he booked it, it means they weren't available”
Detailed documentation of the Museum of the Second World War includes reservations for Karol Nawrocki, also on New Year's Eve. In addition, the Museum declares with full responsibility and in writing that the nature and purpose of these reservations are not recorded in the documentation. There is no question of business meetings. There are over two hundred days of reservation.
– PiS combination, such trickery by the PiS candidate. If he booked them, it means they weren't available, and if he used them, they weren't available. The guy lived five kilometers from the apartments and, instead of in his own apartment, he slept at the expense of the Polish taxpayer – commented Tomasz Trela, an MP from the Left.
– These are all fairy tales. You don't have a stick against him, so you are looking for him at all costs, PiS president JarosĆaw KaczyĆski told journalists.

Here is another example of disinformation by Karol Nawrocki regarding luxury rooms. âThey were booked for 200 days in my name, so they definitely had other functions as well,â he said.
Certainly, a reserved apartment cannot serve any other functions and cannot be and is not offered to other customers. From this disinformation, Karol Nawrocki derived another disinformation. – I did not expose the State Treasury or the Museum of the Second World War to any costs – he said.
Karol Nawrocki exposed the Museum to the fact that it could not make money on the apartment booked for free by the director. It could have made a lot of money, judging by the price list, in which a day in a deluxe apartment starts from PLN 750.
“When no one is watching, he can graze on public property”
It is probably safe to say that Karol Nawrocki did not clean the 116-square-meter apartment himself. He did not pay for water, electricity or heating, since the Museum in writing, without half-truths and disinformation, briefly and directly writes that director Karol Nawrocki did not pay for the hotel stay.
– When no one is watching, he can graze on the government – Witold ZembaczyĆski, an MP from the Civic Coalition, commented on Karol Nawrocki's actions.
Without discounts, the cost of such an apartment for 200 days is well over one hundred thousand zlotys. Twenty-four thousand zlotys – the amount given by Karol Nawrocki at the conference – would cost a deluxe apartment after huge discounts. Nawrocki might have gotten it, but he didn't even try for it. He booked an apartment in GdaĆsk for free, while living in GdaĆsk – five kilometers away.
– He does not want to say why he needed this apartment or who lived there – points out Wojciech Czuchnowski, a journalist of “Gazeta Wyborcza”, who revealed this case.
If Karol Nawrocki booked the deluxe apartment for himself, his potential guests would not have to check in, they would be guaranteed discretion, and the costs of stay of any guests would be borne by the Museum, i.e. all taxpayers.
