Big Bu on the lips of KO politicians. “Show me your friends”

He stressed that "the right to information is the basis of democracy". “There is besides a celebrated saying, repeatedly repeated and well known to Poles, “show me your friends, and I will tell you what a man you are,” said Mr Ko.
He added that Masiak "is a convicted individual for force who fingers his fingers very hard" for a candidate in the Nawrocki presidential election. He suggested that this "holding of thumbs" is related to the fact that 1 of the President's prerogatives is to apply the law of grace.

Mr Adrian Witczak stressed that "freedom of word does not end where Karol Nawrocki's business begins". “When Krzysztof Kwiatkowski talked about relations with the criminal world, he was tried to shut his mouth. It turned out that the court said very firmly that citizens have the right to the truth," he said.

It is always good to perceive to the wise.”

Court of First Instance: the message was admissible
Judge Katarzyna Wesołowska-Zbudniewek concluded on Tuesday that specified a violation did not happen due to the fact that Patryk Masiak is simply a public person, indirectly engaged in an election campaign, and that Kwiatkowski's message "did not exceed the limits of acceptable criticism nor exceed the measurement appropriate to public discourse".
Nawrocki, whose passion is boxing, spoke in the autumn of ub.r. “Rzeczpospolita” that Masiak met respective years ago in the boxing room, fought “with each another in the sports formula: officially, in the boxing room, among many another players” and later many years did not see each other. He added that he would not mention to "criminal issues" and that he had no thought about them.
