Stanisław Żaryn, the government’s plenipotentiary for the security of the Polish information space, published on the X website an analysis and response to the statements of Anne Applebaum, who in The Atlantic questioned the electoral process in Poland.
Has the OSCE published something like: “Polish elections are neither free nor fair” or “an autocratic party has taken over the country”? I do not think so. It is true that the OSCE is in Poland. Typical limited mission. Just like so often in various OSCE member states. With all due respect, you are misleading your readers
– wrote Stanisław Żaryn.
Today a topic about the election campaign in #Poland. The positions of the Polish opposition are increasingly being transferred to the West. Anne Applebaum is spreading innuendo about the elections in Poland, which are part of her efforts to undermine democracy. Why is it dangerous?
– wrote Żaryn.
Is the OSCE also wrong?
– asked Radosław Sikorski.
What exactly is “dirty”? Why are you looking for an opportunity to call me and my reaction such a nickname? Are you against freedom of expression?
– added Żaryn.
Anne Applebaum, journalist, writer and wife of KO MEP Radosław Sikorski, argued in the American ‘The Atlantic’ that Law and Justice, a ‘nationalist-conservative’ party, had ‘conquered the Polish state’ and wondered whether democracy would survive. . She attacked the government over the so-called visa scandal, threatened that the elections would be ‘neither free nor fair’, accused it of racism and… tried to portray herself and her husband as… victims of persecution, while expressing the belief that after the publication of this article, both she and Sikorski will be attacked by ‘PiS’ trolls.”
