Bronisław Komorowski was asked about Rafał Trzaskowski’s alleged lies during one of the recent presidential debates.
“If someone manages to win an election through lies, then others are quick to follow — it spreads like a disease,” the former president said.
During a presidential debate organized by the now-defunct TVP, Rafał Trzaskowski reportedly strayed from the truth multiple times — as demonstrated by fact-checking organization Demagog.

He went on to add, “If someone manages to win an election through lies, others are quick to jump on the bandwagon. It spreads like a virus.”
“You can convince people of almost anything — and that’s exactly what’s happening online and in many other places,” Komorowski warned.
