Black car near the Archipelago founded by Fr. Olszewski. Then the services showed up
Father Michał Olszewski’s foundation is building the Archipelag-Ispy Free from Violence center, although “building” – according to the inhabitants of Warsaw’s Wilanów – is a word that does not reflect reality at the moment. WP journalists reveal that on Tuesday a mysterious black vehicle appeared in front of the building.
A center to help people affected by violence was to be built in Wilanów. The project was intended to support families, children, women and men who are victims of physical, mental, spiritual or economic violence. The facility received the necessary opinions and permits (including construction permits) in 2020-2021. The center was to be built by the end of 2024 and equipped in the same year.
Has the construction of the Archipelago stopped? “I haven’t seen any teams here.”
It was also supposed to contract substantive staff (including: frontline workers, lawyers, psychologists, psychiatrists). Security guards and receptionists were also to be employed. The archipelago was to start operating in January 2025. The problem is that “nothing has happened” at the construction site for several months – residents of the area said in an interview with Wirtualna Polska. On October 29, the customs and tax service appeared at the building.
The journalists went to the place where the unfinished aid center is located. At one point, a black vehicle drove up to the door of the building and some men came out from inside the property. Later, officials from the customs and tax service also arrived there. The editorial office did not witness their entry into the building (it is not known whether they were inside that day).
In an interview with WP, residents assure that work is at a standstill. – I haven’t seen crews here or heard any construction noise. I didn’t see any crowds here either, says one of the anonymous people.
Fr. Olszewski was released from pretrial detention on Friday
It is worth recalling that the president of the Profeto Foundation, who is a monk from St Congregation of Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus – priest Olszewski (sercanie) – recently released from prison. On October 25, together with two former officials of the Ministry of Justice, he was able to leave the place thanks to a bail of PLN 350,000 (for each person).
