In a series of questions from readers, Cieszyński was asked what river flows through Olsztyn (the Łyna). – It seems to me that today we are having a debate about economics, not geography. Everyone knows that I was born in Wrocław, that I didn’t live in Olsztyn before, I don’t hide it, but I understand it and I expected such questions – he replied.
– I will not run a campaign based on cheating and talking about something that I am not. However, what I can say is what I talked about today, what I do, what I have done, what idea I have for this region. And I think that no matter what the idea is, the name of this river will certainly not change, but I promise readers, listeners and all of you that I will also learn from it, assured Cieszyński.
