First announced decisions

Gibała has already named his first two steps after taking office. He plans to protect nearly 200 hectares of green areas in the Prądnik Valley, where, he said, a park should be created rather than housing development.

The newly elected president of Krakow also said he intends to restore the previous fares for public transport, including reinstating the 20-minute ticket. Previously, its validity was reduced to 15 minutes. Gibała noted that he has already formed a team of staff and is ready to begin work quickly.
