Andrzej Duda attacks Trzaskowski and Fakt in Bolesławiec

The incumbent president attacked Rafał Trzaskowski, claiming that he favors Germany, as well as the publisher of Fakt over an article about pardoning a man convicted of child sexual abuse.

The president warned rally participants that a president unaffiliated with the Law and Justice party would not cooperate with the government. He suggested that Rafał Trzaskowski opposed Poland seeking reparations from Germany for the war.

– Recently, one could read in the Die Welt newspaper that their Warsaw correspondent, Mr. Fritz, reported that Mr. Trzaskowski would be a better president for Germany because he opposes Poland seeking reparations from Germany, because Poland should demand compensation and reparations for World War II – said Andrzej Duda.

President Andrzej Duda also addressed allegations, made by Fakt among others, concerning the pardon of a man who molested his underage daughter. Andrzej Duda described the allegations as a brutal attack on him directly connected with the elections.

– This slanderous attack is simply vile. It is the dirtiest kind of campaign. Why? Does the Axel Springer corporation, of German origin, which owns the Fakt newspaper, want to influence the presidential election in Poland? Is that how the Germans want to choose the president in Poland? This is vile! – shouted Andrzej Duda.
