Trzaskowski on political ads with unclear funding:

My campaign staff has nothing to do with this. Let it be investigated by the prosecutor's office and NASK.

– Please ask the foundation, my campaign staff has nothing to do with this; however, a lot of various fake news and propaganda has appeared – said Rafał Trzaskowski on TVN24, when asked about political advertisements promoting him with unclear funding, which were backed by volunteers and an employee of the Akcja Demokracja foundation.

– On the one hand, there is a campaign conducted by various entities, which aims to encourage participation in elections, and on the other hand, we constantly learn that various SMS messages and content are circulating where someone is impersonating me, impersonating my campaign staff. It is known that Russians have their fingers in all electoral campaigns today across Europe and around the world [...] it is the task of state services to counteract this – he continued.

– Please ask the foundation, please ask NASK. [...] I run my election campaign from morning till night; I am truly not able to check all this information – he continued, when asked about WP's findings.

– PiS is so brazen that it truly deserves a Guinness record, because they used public money non-stop to pay for their election campaign [...]. All of this should be explained, and that's very good, let it be investigated by the prosecutor's office, by NASK; when we learned about the fake content, we also immediately reported the matter to the prosecutor's office and to NASK – he added, when asked about PiS's announced motions to the prosecutor's office and notification to the National Electoral Commission (PKW) regarding illegal campaign financing.

– No, I am not concerned [that the information from the WP article could be grounds for problems with the acceptance of the committee's financial report], because we as the campaign staff have nothing to do with it. That is a question for all those entities that may be involved in this – he noted.
