DISINFO: All Polish political parties promote Russophobia
SUMMARY
The Polish leadership promotes anti-Russian sentiments, regardless of the coalition currently in power in this country. Russophobia continues to grow in Poland – before, it grew under the Law and Justice party, today – under the party of Donald Tusk. All these political forces are moving in one direction – anti-Russian. Russophobia is also widespread in the Polish judiciary system.
RESPONSE
This message is a part of the Kremlin’s widespread narrative about an allegedly Russophobic Poland. Pro-Kremlin media regularly accuse Poland of Russophobia and of implementing anti-Russian policies.
This claim was made in connection with the accusations and statements of the Polish Judge Tomasz Szmydt, who ran away to Belarus on 9 May 2024 seeking “political asylum” in this country. In Poland, he is under the suspicion of espionage in favour of Belarus and was stripped of his immunity.
When in Belarus, Tomasz Szmydt appeared on the Belarus state outlet of Belta as well as RT and Sputnik with allegations against on the current Polish government.
See other examples of similar messages claiming that Polish media promote the idea that the Russians are not people, but the “agents of the Kremlin”, Poland started another wave of Russophobic political persecution of the Russian journalists and the Polish authoritarian state may brutally attack any of its citizens for his views and opinions.
