Emergency services have stormed the Gdańsk family home of Polish President Karol Nawrocki on May 23, 2026, after answering two hoax alarm calls — one claiming there was a fire at the property and the other citing a life-threatening medical emergency.
According to the President’s spokesman, Rafał Leśkiewicz, “officers forced the door open and entered the apartment while no one was at home”. There was no one inside and no fire.
Leśkiewicz noted that for several days there had been a series of similar incidents targeting journalists and public figures linked to the right-wing, including over a dozen journalists working for Poland’s most popular news broadcaster TV Republika, and Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of the opposition Law and Justice party (PiS) — the party with which Nawrocki, who won the presidential run-off in June 2025, is aligned.
