In a panic, they’re scrambling to twist the facts! It is they who are conducting the largest disinformation campaign and engaging in illegal financing of Rafał Trzaskowski’s election campaign – wrote Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the Law and Justice party (PiS), on social media. Many individuals involved are directly connected to the Democratic Party, including former staffers from the Obama and Harris campaigns.
They’re spending enormous sums of money illegally on hate and aggression, using state institutions and receiving support from foreign entities. They are breaking all the rules, violating the law, trampling on democracy. They believe they are untouchable and can do whatever they want. Only we, the citizens, can stop them on May 18 – added the PiS leader.
Journalists from the news portal wp.pl revealed that the online campaign supporting Rafał Trzaskowski and attacking Karol Nawrocki and Sławomir Mentzen is being run by the Akcja Demokracja foundation, known for numerous initiatives targeting the United Right government.
The foundation is led by Jakub Kocjan, who has close ties to the Civic Platform party and was, until recently, a parliamentary assistant to one of its MPs.
Estratos Linked to Polish Election Scandal
Estratos Digital focuses on digital political marketing and campaigning, with a particular emphasis on online fundraising. According to the company, it supports progressive political initiatives, social movements, NGOs, and civic campaigns. It offers digital tools designed to engage supporters, analyze data, and run internet-based electoral campaigns.
The majority shareholder of Estratos is the Higher Ground Labs Fund III LP, which is linked to the U.S. Democratic Party. In Hungary, Estratos has faced allegations of illegally processing personal data and concealing the sources of campaign financing.
Many individuals involved are directly connected to the Democratic Party, including former staffers from the Obama and Harris campaigns.
Civic Coalition and Rafał Trzaskowski’s campaign team to manipulate public opinion
Recent materials revealed by TVP World exposed that Trzaskowski’s coalition resorted to the same behind-the-scenes, non-transparent practices that Estratos employed abroad. This is not only a disgrace for the Civic Coalition’s campaign team but also a real threat to the sovereignty of the Polish electoral process. Using foreign funds and tools to interfere in domestic politics is a blatant disregard for the law and a betrayal of the interests of Polish citizens in favor of narrowly defined partisan goals. Such actions not only undermine the principles of democratic fairness but also demonstrate a deep cynicism towards Polish voters.
