Virtual Poland has determined that behind online advertisements promoting Rafał Trzaskowski and attacking Karol Nawrocki and Sławomir Mentzen there are people associated with the Foundation Action Democracy. As we read, her president was an assistant MP of the Civic Coalition a fewer weeks ago.
WP reports that ads in the form of recordings were published on Facebook profiles "You Know How It Is" and "The Table of Adults" (the admin is not known). The case was referred to by the Board of Action Democracy, who admitted that "a foundation individual helped a abroad partner find willing to participate in the recordings". "We have done the courtesy of a company with which we are constantly cooperating, and that is where our function ended" – the journalists answered questions.
Furthermore, the findings of the WP show that advertisements, which were published only from these 2 profiles, cost their admin around PLN 420,000, and in the last week – over PLN 230 thousand, meaning "more than any of the legally functioning election committees."
Action Democracy and interference in elections. That's how Nawrocki commented
On Thursday, May 15, Karol Nawrocki was asked about this case at a pseudo-press conference in Wałbrzych. – It seems that NASK, who was expected to fight misinformation, misinformation on the matter. How do you feel about that? – asked the PiS candidate a tv individual in Poland24.

He is not ready to act as president of Poland, this awareness is surely besides the environment of the Civic Platform, so the institutions of the state, on the another hand government television, aid him – Nawrocki replied.
Let us add that in Wałbrzych, the head of the IPN answered only the questions of the media favorable to Law and Justice, and of the another journalists who questioned about the flat in Gdańsk and relations with Jerzy Ż., mocked and reproved them.
In consequence to the question of interference in the Nawrocki election, he besides reiterated that "as we know, peculiar services were besides active in this campaign". “So everyone is already active in saving the political project, whose name is Rafał Trzaskowski, and in front of it stands a man of blood and bones, a typical of citizens and the Polish state”, he said.

I am moving in an election campaign, where institutions of the Polish state are attacking me, now I see that they are besides beginning to attack abroad organizations through social media networks.
