Rafał Trzaskowski referred to this case in "Facts After Facts" on TVN24 on Thursday evening (16 May). As established by Virtual Poland, behind the political advertisements published online promoting the candidate of the Civic Coalition and simultaneously attacking its competitors stands worker and volunteers of the Foundation Action Democracy.
Until recently, her president was an assistant associate of the Civic Coalition. WP reported that advertisements in the form of recordings were published on Facebook profiles "You Know How Not Is" and "The Table of Adults". Their admin (it is not known who he is) was expected to cost around PLN 420 thousand, and in the last week – over PLN 230 thousand, which means "more than any of the legally functioning election committees."
Who paid for controversial election ads? Mr Trzaskowski spoke
On the part of PiS politicians, but besides for example Sławomir Mentzen, there were allegations of illegal financing of the Trzask campaign. A politician, on the another hand, believes that the substance should be handled by the service.
– Ask at the Foundation, my staff has nothing to do with this. But there was quite a few propaganda. On the 1 hand, to take part in the election, but there are besides text messages, impersonating me, under my command. It is known that the Russians have their fingers in all campaigns around the world," said Trzaskowski on TVN24.
He added: "I run all day long and I am incapable to verify everything. We, on the another hand, have nothing to do with this, we gotta ask the right actors.
Karol Nawrocki was besides asked about this case on Thursday. The PiS candidate stated at a gathering with his sympathizers in Wałbrzych that this information is "another information showing that the aggressive process of supporting Rafał Trzaskowski in the presidential race is ongoing and continued".
– I am moving in an election campaign, where the institutions of the Polish state are attacking me, now I see that they are besides beginning to attack abroad organizations through social media networks," he said.
Let us remind that the case was referred to by the Board of Action Democracy, who admitted that "the foundation individual helped a abroad partner find those willing to participate in the recordings". "We have done the courtesy of the company, with which we are constantly cooperating, and that is where our function ended" – the WP journalists were asked.
