The wife of Polish actor Cezary Pazura violated traffic rules near an educational institution.
In the capital of Poland, Warsaw, the wife of a famous Polish actor committed a traffic violation near an educational institution.
The uproar began after a video surfaced online showing her leaving her car on the sidewalk despite being required to stop on the road.
Edyta Pazura, wife of actor and director Cezary Pazura, violated parking regulations on Wiertniczej Street. Polish law prohibits driving on sidewalks, and parking is permitted only under certain conditions.
The footage was filmed by an activist known by the pseudonym “Konfitura.” He documents driver violations in various districts of the capital. In the recording, Pazura, noticing the footage, can be heard asking if the man is a pedophile. The activist later stated that these accusations were made publicly, including to her audience on major social media platforms.
Edita Pazura herself spoke out about the incident on her platforms, criticizing such filming: “Every time I see you filming our children near schools and kindergartens, I'll call the police. You're not doing anything good; you're just looking for content to make quick and easy money.”
The situation sparked a heated debate. Many users agreed that police should be present and prevent driving on sidewalks. Criticism of Pazura intensified after her post, and she eventually disabled comments on her Stories.
The woman later criticized the “herd of soldiers” for their insults and wrote that she regretted nothing. “You can complain about the parking to the appropriate authorities and take photos, but walking around institutions every day is stressful, especially for children,” she added.
Konfitura also described two completely different police responses to the same incident at the same location. In one case, officers observed the violation themselves—driving on the sidewalk—and fined the driver 1,500 zlotys and assessed demerit points. In the other case, they responded to a call from parents concerned about their children being filmed. This time, the officers were only interested in identifying the driver.
