Konfederacja Launches Krakow Mayoral Campaign With Health Crisis Protest

KRAKOW, POLAND - JULY 8: New Hope (Nowa Nadzieja) party chairman Slawomir Mentzen (L) gestures toward a political stunt demonstrating a leaking bucket labeled 'Pieniadze NFZ' (NFZ Funds) pouring water onto a brick structure during a Konfederacja press conference outside the Gabriel Narutowicz Municipal Specialist Hospital in Krakow, Poland, July 8, 2026. The symbolic display served to criticize the perceived wastefulness and systemic collapse of Poland's National Health Fund (NFZ) as part of a campaign launch for the upcoming Krakow snap mayoral election.
