Monika Piątkowska, a candidate for Krakow’s mayor representing the Civic Coalition (KO) and Polish People’s Party (PSL), is proposing a new tourist tax to alleviate the city’s budget issues. She argues against relying on residents to fund budget shortfalls, deeming it the “worst solution.” Piątkowska’s plan involves implementing a tax of at least 10 zł ($2.50) per person per night for tourists visiting Krakow. The proposed tax aims to generate revenue from visitors rather than burdening local taxpayers. She also addressed questions regarding the support she receives from Donald Tusk and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. The proposal is part of her broader campaign strategy to find alternative funding sources for the city.
