Barbara Mróz-Gorgoń will no longer appear at the Campus Polska event, according to multiple Polish outlets, including Rzeczpospolita and PolsatNews.pl. The decision follows a controversy tied to her past remarks and a report she produced using artificial intelligence.
The foundation connected to Mróz-Gorgoń has now spoken out after the affair, Rzeczpospolita reports. The organization, which is linked to the "Marek Polska" brand, previously posted a notice about its dissolution but later removed that message, according to Gazeta. The foundation's statement comes amid growing fallout from the scandal.
The controversy centers on comments Mróz-Gorgoń made about Indigenous peoples, which were recently resurfaced and caused distress in the Beskidy region, as WP Wiadomości reported. Local residents there said they felt caught in the crossfire of the backlash. Separately, Mróz-Gorgoń drew attention for a report she authored that relied on AI, which PolsatNews.pl noted as part of her public profile.
Mróz-Gorgoń also left a government role after just 23 days, according to Fakt. That brief tenure has added to scrutiny of her career, though details of her departure were not expanded in the available reporting.
Campus Polska has issued its own statement confirming her removal from the event lineup, per PolsatNews.pl. The foundation's latest response appears aimed at clarifying its position after the deleted post about winding down operations, though the specifics of that clarification were not detailed in the material provided.
What to watch next: Whether the foundation follows through on any operational changes or issues further statements as public pressure continues.
