Responding to a letter from the President of the Polish Composers' Union, Mieczysław Kominek, to the President of the Capital City of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski regarding the Library of the Warsaw Music Society, on the 12th of June, 2024, the Director of the Culture Office, Mr. Artur Jóźwik, wrote that:
"We asked the bailiff handling the case to suspend the activities until the collections in the premises were properly secured. The bailiff agreed - the date of the bailiff's enforcement was postponed.
Unfortunately, for years the Warsaw Music Society has not fulfilled its obligation to settle the rent for the premises it occupies. Matters related to the lease of premises are handled by the Śródmieście District of the Capital City of Warsaw. At the same time, we must bear in mind that the local government is statutorily obliged to collect debts from debtors.
The Society's authorities did not report to us any problems related to covering arrears or the threat of eviction. This situation arouses our surprise and concern and requires immediate explanation. Securing the priceless collections is crucial for us, we declare our full readiness to cooperate with the Society. We have invited representatives of the Warsaw Musical Society to an urgent meeting during which we will look for solutions. The meeting will also be attended by the Vice-President of Warsaw, Aldona Machnowska-Góra.
