The Clean Transport region in Krakow “works”, but alternatively of improving the air we have a deterioration of moods – these are increasing disputes between municipalities, thousands of people who are deprived of regulations and the general belief that this region was just “a money jump”.
Since 1 January 2026, Dr. Monika Brzozowska – Pasieka, legal advisor, typical of the Freedom and Property Foundation and Łukasz Warzecha, publicist who were guests of the ed. Marcin Austyn on the PCh24TV channel.
Among the voices critical of the SCT was the argument concerning the protection of delicate data. As it turns out, patients who have non-standard vehicles can number on the exemption from the fee, but must note the fact of the visit in the system, including, among others, the name, or PESEL number and the name of the finger, and then at that facility confirm their presence.
– We have pointed out to the court this crucial aspect for us. due to the fact that it's a question of where data that can be considered delicate data, i.e., the name of the facility, the patient's data, his PESEL... A certain registry is being created. And in our view, this registry may be available and we do not know where and who will have access to it, where this data will be collected, how much it will be stored. In our opinion these are medical data – stressed Dr Monika Brzozowska-Pasieka.
As she declared, the Freedom and Property Foundation has already addressed the Chief Medical Chamber, the Krakow Medical Chamber, the president of the Office for individual Data Protection, to draw attention to this issue. – We really, I'm sorry, we only know what we heard in the courtroom that the patient comes to the medical facility and there's any tablet where you gotta kind in your name and registration number. She added. How is all this data protected? – We have prepared the full legal offensive, not only to these entities, but besides to the Ombudsman. Since we were a associate in the proceedings, we will besides file a cassation complaint, although here we are waiting for written justification She stressed.
Red. Łukasz Warzecha recalled that erstwhile information about the confirmation of visits was received, he addressed questions to the spokesperson of the City of Krakow Road Administration about how this information is about medical secrecy. The answer is not easy to interpret, but it consisted, among another things, of uncovering that these facilities only supply urban information materials and registration equipment, while the patient fills in certain data.
– Firstly, the spokesperson writes about any arrangements. I realize that the city of Kraków has concluded agreements with each medical facility and all medical office in its territory. This would consequence in and make available any end of its system, if I realize the Ombudsman's answer correctly, due to the fact that it is hard to realize at all. Finally, the second point. The Ombudsman writes that there are no questions about delicate data, but this is simply a general question, a general question of what we consider to be specified data, due to course individual may not share or request to make available, for example, their oncological diagnosis, but if he is going to an oncological facility, and must enter into which facility he has arrived, it is known that he has any kind of oncological problem, or at least his suspicion – stressed ed. Luke Warzech.
– If a patient goes to a facility that treats alcoholism and it's listed, then it's known that he has a problem with alcohol. So, of course, that's a violation of medical secrecy, especially since that information's going to circulate out there somewhere... we're not clear how this mechanics will be handled. – he added.
It is besides doubtful to assure the authorities of Krakow that the measures obtained from the SCT will support the fight against the “kompciuchs” in the alleged “Cracov bag”. Only that the Electromobility Act, under which municipal resolutions on the creation of zones are adopted, does not supply for this possibility.
– The Electromobility Act clearly states in Article 39, to which money obtained from the sale of these entry rights can be spent. It only mentions, in fact, the language utilized here, exclusively for the purposes of marking the clean transport zone, buying zero-emission buses, buying trams, buying another means of collective transport and financing bicycle support schemes. Well, as a live result, no P&R parking lots, or any another kind of furnace exchange, this money simply cannot be spent. They can only be issued for these purposes from the bill. Period – noted ed.
