I assume that voters focused on the freshness effect, said Dr. Kaczmarek-Śliwińska.

Not only young people, but also journalists and experts are impressed by Józefiaciuk’s enthusiasm

– Marcin Józefiaciuk has become an idol of the young generation. His style, passion, open mind and approach to young people made him capture the hearts of not only his students, but also their families and people around him. Modern and charismatic, with a broad worldview, he fit perfectly into the needs of the young generation, which today finds it difficult to define their identity, and Józefaciuk’s attitude and activity helped the youth, and probably not only them, in interpreting their own personality and identity – said Bartosz Czupryk
