Płock county chief with 2.5 per mille blood alcohol kept his post after councillors changed bylaws

A county chief in Płock from the PSL party, who was found with a blood alcohol level of 2.5 per mille in the morning, kept his position after local councillors voted to amend the county's bylaws in his favour. The revelation by Wirtualna Polska sparked a wave of public outrage, with journalists and politicians denouncing what they called a "mockery of accountability" and "local government pathology." The case has raised broader questions about mechanisms that protect officials from the consequences of their actions.
