In recent online exchanges, Deputy Minister of State Assets Andrzej Śliwka stirred public attention by posting on social media about the need for action from prominent organizations and figures. His remark highlighted a spectrum of groups and individuals, including Greenpeace, the Frank Bold Foundation, Sylwia Spurek, Zieloni, Szczerba and Joński, and called for further involvement from Mr. Tusk on matters tied to environmental and political campaigns.

The memories of the June 4 march linger in public discourse. Critics note the presence of banners that appeared during Mr. Tusk’s Warsaw route, some of which were controversial or provocative. In political circles, there is a broader debate about how opposition factions communicate their environmental positions while maintaining consistent practices on waste and ecological responsibility. The tension between rhetoric on conservation and on-the-ground action remains a point of contention for many observers who watch how campaigns are conducted and how banners and other materials are disposed of after demonstrations.

In the village of Gnojno, within the Pultusk county and near the scenic Narew valley, locals reported finding campaign material scattered on a meadow close to a wooded area. The scene prompted questions about environmental stewardship and the responsibilities of organizers to prevent littering, especially in ecologically sensitive landscapes that attract both residents and visitors.

Indignant reactions

– It does not justify leaving refuse behind – remarked Jacek Jaworowski, underscoring the common expectation that public events should leave the environment intact.

A pile of debris associated with the June 4 march was collected by volunteers and municipal workers in the days that followed. The remarks accompanying this cleanup referenced public figures who have historically voiced concern for the environment, underscoring the divide between policy rhetoric and practical outcomes. Saturnin Kohn, a member of a local group in Maków Mazowiecki, offered a tongue-in-cheek comment from the scene, highlighting the mixed sentiments surrounding the event and its aftermath.
