Obajtek tapes
On 26 February 2021, Gazeta Wyborcza released an article titled "Obajtek's tapes" (Taśmy Obajtka) containing a record of Obajtek's phone calls with his business partners from the time he was the wójt of Gmina Pcim, which were supposed to prove that he made false statements about sharing the function of a local government official with the management of the TT Plast company. In the recorded conversations, Obajtek used numerous insults and vulgarisms. In TVP's Wiadomości news program, attempts have been made to justify Obajtek's behavior with Tourette syndrome he suffers from. On February 27, the Polish Tourette Syndrome Association released a press statement in which it stated that obscenities used by people affected by coprolalia "are not substantively related to the content of their statements" and that "profanities uttered by people not affected by coprolalia are a symptom of a lack of personal culture, not Tourette's syndrome."
