Andrzej Duda lost part of his finger. Only now did he uncover what truly happened

Last year during public appearances, Andrzej Duda appeared with an injury. After taking off the dressing, it turned out that the president then lost his full nail and part of his finger. We know how it truly happened.


Last November, Andrzej Duda showed up with a dressing on his hand. The President's office did not then issue an authoritative communication on this matter. Journalists unofficially only learned that the origin was "a insignificant home accident".

Andrzej Duda betrayed the injury

The president then had his right hand immobilized, especially his mediate and cordial finger, utilizing a peculiar orthosis. There was speculation that Duda might have suffered fractures or sprains.

On Monday 1 September, Andrzej Duda was a guest of the Rymanowski Live channel. The lead asked him about the circumstances of the injury. – I will, due to the fact that so far it was a secret: I was swimming on specified an electrical board. And he fell into the engine. Unfortunately I lost the tip of my finger – the erstwhile president admitted.

He added that at first he did not realize the seriousness of the situation: – I felt pain, but I thought that just hit me with this board on my finger, in my hand and wanted to get back on the board to move.

When he looked at his hand and realized the situation, he alerted SOP officers. Service has intervened. The president was transported to a boat and then to a medical facility. Duda admitted in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski that it was not possible to reconstruct a finger that became "a souvenir for life".

The erstwhile president besides indicated the origin of the accident. He was talking about a structural flaw on the board. I just don't think that should happen. There should be a safety that is not there," he said.

But it wasn't a "home accident"

Duda's explanation sheds fresh light on the case. As we wrote in onTemat.pl, after taking off the dressing last November, we could see that the president lost a fragment of the mediate finger, just below the nail.

At the time, it was reported that injury could happen during housework. So said the presidential minister Wojciech Kolarski. – During his homework, the president injured himself rather seriously. A tiny procedure was needed, but everything is fine now," said an authoritative on RMF FM. He just added that the injury "came in private time".

Then the commentators on the web besides pointed to the fact that Andrzej Duda is left-handed, which is why the circumstances of how he might have injured himself in the right hand seemed curious.
