“Gazeta Wyborcza returned to the issue of the sword given to Father Tadeusz Rydzyk by the Minister of State Assets, Jacek Sasin. In an attempt to be ironic, KO MP Michał Szczerba commented on the news. I think something went wrong after all. “Sassin Sword. It was supposed to be Mieszko I, but it turned out to be Mr. Jürgen from Bavaria,” the opposition politician wrote on platform X.
“The Sword Affair
During the 32nd pilgrimage of the Radio Maryja family to Jasna Góra in July this year, the head of MAP, Jacek Sasin, and the president of the Enea group, Paweł Majewski, presented the director of the Catholic radio station in Toruń, Father Tadeusz Rydzyk . , with a sword that is said to date from the time of Mieszko I. The case aroused great media attention.
Gazeta Wyborcza wrote extensively about the sword, arguing that it was a ‘fake’ sword. Enea took legal action against the Czerska daily. In a pre-trial summons, lawyer Przemysław Guziejko, representing the company, demanded the removal of the article from July 13: “Experts: Sasin’s sword for Rydzyk is 90 percent.” forgery”, an apology from Jarosław Kurski and Piotr Głuchowski and a payment of PLN 50,000. PLN for a social cause – the National Museum in Poznań.

A sarcastic post from Szczerba
““Gazeta Wyborcza” decided to return to the topic and continue to claim that the sword is “fake”, and furthermore, comes from the sources of Jürgen H. Fricker, a German antiques dealer.
The lyrics of “GW” made Civic Coalition member Michał Szczerba very happy.
Saxon sword. It was supposed to be Mieszko I, but it turned out to be Mr. Jürgen from Bavaria. Will they even spend money on gifts for the Rydzyk Museum?
– wrote the politician on the X platform and added a link to the ‘Wyborcza’ article.
The Institute has also responded to the KO MP’s submission. Saint John Paul II – Memory and Identity.
- You could write that if some opposition politicians thought they had bought it from Mr Mieszko, we feel sorry for their families and voters because… Mr Mieszko is dead… 2. Why the question mark at the end .. The MP fears responsibility for his accusations
– we are reading.
Apparently the parliamentarian got everything mixed up – “from the time of Mieszko I” does not mean that the weapon belonged to Mieszko I himself. Moreover, although it was the “Lux Veritatis” Foundation that initiated the creation of the “Memory and Identity” Museum. Saint John Paul II in Toruń, the facility is a state institution, co-managed by the head of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, Piotr Gliński, and not, as Szczerba wrote, “Rydzyk’s museum”.
The question arises whether the MP actually made a mistake or whether he is deliberately misleading. Fortunately, he did not go further and stated that Mieszko I was still alive, and he did not confirm that the sword was his property. A large proportion of PO supporters are willing to believe anything.
