Polish Parliament member reports attack on bus window after threats from PiS and Kukiz supporters
A Civic Coalition member, Witold Zembaczyński, claimed on social media that a rock was thrown at the window of his bus. The mp suggested that not all details of the incident had been shared publicly.
In a post on the platform, the politician described a confrontation with a PiS and Kukiz supporter who had allegedly threatened to set the bus on fire and insult him. He asserted that the threat was carried out when a rock hit the bus window, labeling the event as a direct attack on an opposition member of parliament.
Zembaczyński attributed the incident to antagonism directed at his political affiliation, urging accountability from political groups involved. He addressed both the Kukiz movement and the Law and Justice party, stating that they bore responsibility for the heated climate surrounding the opposition.
Additionally, the politician implied that the individual who posted supportive comments for the incident had escalated tensions, calling for calm and adherence to democratic processes as elections approached. The post included a message that the attack was connected to the broader political discourse and rivalry within the country.
Reaction around the event sparked discussion on social media. Some users questioned whether the same vehicle was involved and highlighted the provocative language allegedly used in materials circulating online. A post from May was cited by readers showing a bus carrying a likeness of another public figure accompanied by eight markings that referenced a vulgar term directed at PiS.
According to Zembaczyński, the buses linked to him bear the motto eat PiS, a statement he described as a personal expression of his political stance. He clarified this stance during an interview conducted for a regional television network. The politician emphasized that violent acts and vandalism must be condemned, yet he also noted that provocative rhetoric in public space challenges constructive dialogue with people holding opposing views.
