“This is the biggest election scandal. Hundreds of thousands of zlotys from undeclared sources spent on ads smearing Karol Nawrocki and Sławomir Mentzen, while praising Rafał Trzaskowski,” says the narrator in the ad released by Karol Nawrocki’s campaign.

“The Akcja Demokracja (Action Democracy) foundation is responsible for this illegal campaign promoting Donald Tusk’s stand-in, and – notably – it is managed by Jakub Kocjan, a figure from Civic Platform’s (PO) inner circle, who not long ago was an assistant to a Civic Coalition (KO) MP,” the narrator continues.

The ad incorporates excerpts from yesterday’s interview of the KO candidate for TVN24, including the statement: “I am truly unable to verify all of this information.”

“Hate videos, costing hundreds of thousands of zlotys, have generated millions of views. These are illegal actions intended to influence the outcome of the presidential elections. Don’t let them steal the election from you,” concludes the narrator.

This is the biggest scandal in recent years ? Massive money from outside sources used in an online campaign to target R. Trzaskowski's competitors?! Don't let them steal the election from you! #TrzaskNASK pic.twitter.com/PlxEF8Mtf4
