In recent weeks, the media reported on former business of current Deputy Minister of Sport and Tourism Łukasz Mejza, which is thought to have been offering expensive and scientifically unapproved therapies to people with incurable diseases. Mejza denies the news, and has just gone on vacation. According to the latest poll by Kantar for "Fakty" TVN and TVN24, 68% of those asked think Mejza should be dismissed from his office.
A story on the current Minister of Sport Łukasz Mejza was published by Wirtualna Polska journalists Szymon Jadczak and Mateusz Ratajczak. In the article they revealed that Mejza's company Vinci NeoClinic offered to treat people suffering from incurable diseases, however the method hailed by the minister has not been medically approved. Treatment prices started from 80,000 dollars.
Wirtualna Polska also published an article in which journalists recorded accounts of people who were being persuaded by Vinci NeoClinic to try the unapproved therapy. Mejza argued that WP's publication was "a bunch of blatant lies" and announced he would take matter to court.
Many politicians, not only from the opposition, call on the government to dismiss Mejza. Prime Minister Morawiecki has said that "the situation will certainly be examined in great detail".
"As you all well know, in recent days we have been dealing with the biggest political attack after '89. An attack on the United Right, and on the governing majority. A relentless and unprecendented attack," Mejza said at a press briefing last week.
