An interview on Radio Gdańsk in liquidation, held on December 17, 2024, sparked a wave of comments. During the “Strefa Comments” broadcast, 1 of the guests utilized the phrase causing outrage.
Jarosław Janiszewski, a publicist, said that “the PiS people have gone into holes like cockroaches”
In consequence to this, the talker Tomasz Olszewski published a message (strongly hidden on the website), stressing that the intent of the broadcast was not to insult anyone, and the ferocious words of the guest were an effort to describe the social problems in an image.
Words That Raised Opposition
Various aspects of social life were discussed during the broadcast, which sparked lively reactions from the debate participants. At 1 point 1 of the guests utilized a word that was considered offensive by another participant.
Another publicist intervened immediately, expressing his opposition to the form of speech. The author of controversial words began to explain that he had no intention of offending anyone, and his aim was simply to present the problem in a suggestive way.

Leading decision
Tomasz Olszewski, as the leader, felt that the explanations of the guest were adequate not to escalate the situation. In his view, further improvement of the subject could only fuel a dispute that had already been resolved on the air. In his message he added that controversial statements do not reflect the position of Radio Gdańsk, which as a average retains neutrality and gives space to express different opinions.
The incidental sparked many comments from the listeners. On social media, many have stressed that specified statements can be harmful, even if not intentional, and more attention should be paid to language in public media.
STATEMENT
As the host of the “Strefa Comments” broadcast on Radio Gdańsk on December 17, 2024, I declare that it was no one's intention to insult voters, politicians or anyone else.
Describing the pathological, unfortunate words of the guest Radio Gdańsk, who was a associate in the discussion of the phenomenon concerning various spheres of social life, he utilized the phrase, against which he immediately protested another participant, and he himself began to explain that it was not his intention to offend anyone, but only in a pictorial manner described what troubled him.
Therefore, I felt that there was no request for an immediate response, since the author himself explained that possibly he had been misunderstood, and that the repetition of arguments about unacceptable wording was besides missed by the objective, since it was explained that this was not the point of the statement. The words spoken by the guest are not the editorial position of Radio Gdańsk.
Yours sincerely.
Tomasz Olszewski
