Users of the X-portal have been rubbing their eyes in surprise since yesterday afternoon. One of the profiles showed an extremely primitive image with the title: “Karol – independent, sociable – PiS candidate!” The said “satirical” drawing cannot be seen on the profile of “Sokzburak”, “Osiem Gwiazdy” or any similar hate account, not on the profile of “Pablo Morales”. It was edited by Roman Giertych, lawyer, and from 2023 also member of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. People didn’t like the graphics, among other things. Dominika Wielowiejska. An altercation took place between the journalist of “Gazeta Wyborcza” and the patron, which ultimately led to nothing concrete.
Lawyer Roman Giertych is ready for anything, out of love for Donald Tusk and the Civic Coalition. It is true that after the primaries in KO he was forced to transfer his fervent feelings from Radosław Sikorski to Rafał Trzaskowski, but here too he does not disappoint his stable – sorry: Sieci Na Wybory. One of the hashtags that this association eagerly uses is currently “Trzaskowski Blisko People”.
Giertych “close to the people”
The lawyer and politician, who, after being charged with leading the ‘settlement of the PiS government’, began to think he was not even a prosecutor but a super prosecutor general, has in the past had bizarre theories about the alleged plans circulated. of the participation of then Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński in the partition of Ukraine (together with Orban and – probably telepathically or with the Prime Minister of Hungary as an “intermediary” – with Putin). People who reproduce the hashtags proposed by Roman Giertych on the X platform often add them to very primitive, malicious, sometimes simply lying and often very vulgar entries. It turns out that the patron is also familiar with “satirical” drawings.
Giertych’s profile featured an image of Jarosław Kaczyński riding Karol Nawrocki and waving “President” cheese on a fishing rod in front of him. The President of the Institute of National Remembrance, who is running for the presidency of the Republic of Poland, is additionally dressed in a T-shirt commonly called a “żonobijka”, green tracksuits and rubber boots with the PiS logo.
Jarek attacks Karol for power
– Giertych is excited. The entry was accompanied by the hashtag “Trzaskowski Close to People”. Considering the way the President of the Institute of National Remembrance was presented, Rafał Trzaskowski can at least try to be “close to the people” during the campaign, but the same cannot be said about Giertych.
Critical comments
The entry caused a wave of reactions.
This is a member of parliament from the Citizens’ Coalition. Civic coalition. Civic coalition. No one from this Civic Coalition will criticize him because he is representative of the Civic Coalition.
— wrote former MP Dariusz Lipiński.
Like from the Soviet Crocodile
– said Jacek Milewski.
Twitter user Tadek Nowakowski also posted an image:
And Tusk on Giertych?!
Pool. Choose wisely. Hate and hatred versus dialogue and reconciliation
– wrote Jan Molski.
I would like to remind you that this is not Mrs Grażyna from Konin, but a patron and member of the Sejm
– emphasized “Professor Penguin”.
Wielowieyska “disgusted”
But the most interesting response was Dominika Wielowieyska. She attracted the attention of lawyer Giertych himself.
Saint Dominic, how weak is this. 🤦♀️
– this is how a journalist from “Gazeta Wyborcza” responded to the KO MP’s entry.
I ask out of curiosity: you do not like the essence of this image, that is, the truth that Jarek Kaczyński wants to return to power on Nawrocki’s back, or perhaps the very fact of the existence of such an idiom in the Polish, or maybe you don’t like the graphic representation of this idiom?
– wrote Giertych.
We should not be too attached to editor Wielowieyska’s outrages, as they usually contain malice towards PiS (this was the case, for example, in the polemic with Jarosław Bratkiewicz after his text on the “monkey people”, in which Wielowieyska, arguing that the voters of the ‘democratic option’ should not attack PiS supporters, but she still presented the latter as ‘afraid of the world’, noisy pensioners). This is how it was this time:
I am disgusted by the style of this image because it reminds me of the images from the Polish People’s Republic era entitled ‘AK, a spit-covered reaction dwarf.’ And these drawings from the PiS press with Adam Michnik, which Ryszard Legutko was so happy with. He even put it on the cover of his book
– she replied. Comparing “drawings from the PiS press” with communist propaganda is indeed a very “legitimate” comparison, right?
Ms. Dominika, how would you graphically show that someone wants to come back to power on your back? Please focus your outrage on real violations of ethics, and do not publicly organize a campaign against me and SnaW under the title: PRL style. This is an absurd association
– answered Giertych.
Mr. Lawyer. I like this image. It’s clumsy and ugly. And without panache. That’s it. You like it, so we have to stick to our opinions
– replied the journalist.
I’m a small town boy, so I may not always cater to the tastes of the elite. I’m sorry for the offended sensitivity
– concluded the lawyer, to which Wielowieyska only replied with the word “please” and an emoticon with a wink.
Even if we don’t get along well with the editor, Dominika Wielowieyska, it’s hard to say that expressing her opinion about the graphics and evoking historical associations is automatically a “campaign”. A bit of a “snowflake” from this patron…
