The Kai Godek Foundation's anti-abortion protest in Gdansk was deemed unlawful by city authorities due to its aggressive nature and obstruction of hospital access.
On January 21, 2026, a protest organized by the Kai Godek Foundation took place in front of the St. Wojciech Hospital, accusing the facility of not treating the unborn as patients. The demonstration featured large posters with graphic images of fetuses and disturbing sounds played over loudspeakers, aimed at drawing public attention. The protest drew criticism for its approach, including derogatory remarks directed at medical professionals and the use of Adolf Hitler's imagery, escalating tensions in the area.
Simultaneously, a counter-demonstration was held by left-wing activists expressing solidarity with patients and healthcare staff at the hospital. The presence of opposing groups heightened the atmosphere of conflict, leading to public concern over the potential for violence.
The protest was scheduled to run for two hours but was dissolved by Gdansk city officials around 1:30 PM, citing violations of the Assembly Law. City officials determined that the protesters were obstructing access to the hospital and behaving aggressively, which prompted their intervention as a measure to ensure public safety and uphold legal standards regarding public gatherings.
