Councilors from the Law and Justice party responded to a controversial decision made by the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk. In the wake of the decision, there is a plan to request an extraordinary session of the Regional Assembly to discuss possible steps. The move reflects ongoing tensions surrounding the museum’s leadership and its public role in commemorating history.
Piotr Müller outlined actions being considered by members of the PiS group within the Assembly of the Pomeranian Voivodeship. The emphasis is on transparency and accountability, as officials evaluate how the museum’s direction aligns with constitutional responsibilities and regional interests. The aim is to ensure that decisions affecting national memory are subject to clear oversight and responsive to public concerns.
The consequences of the museum’s management choice have prompted discussions among regional deputies. A draft resolution is expected to be introduced to propose changes to the recent decision, signaling a desire to reexamine the policy direction and its impact on historical presentation within the region. Observers note that the move could set a precedent for heightened scrutiny of cultural institutions in Poland’s regions.

Extraordinary advice
The leader of the PiS club within the regional assembly will initiate the process to call an extraordinary session of the Regional Assembly to address the matter at hand. The objective is to provide a forum for transparent debate and to ensure that residents understand the implications of the museum’s current management strategies.
Krzysztof Sławski, who chairs the PiS councilors club, is planning to submit a formal request to convene the extraordinary session on this topic. The move is aimed at facilitating timely discussion and gathered input from regional representatives, with a view toward establishing a clear path forward for cultural policy in the voivodeship.
– writes Müller.
The broader conversation centers on how national memory institutions connect with local communities and how governance structures can support responsible stewardship of history while respecting diverse public perspectives. The ongoing situation at the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk remains a focal point for debates about interpretation, public accountability, and the role of regional authorities in safeguarding legacy. The discussion is expected to continue as stakeholders analyze potential amendments to the decision and consider the appropriate mechanisms for oversight and engagement.
