Mast accused the Commission of exhibiting a “double standard” in election rules, favoring Trzaskowski.
The first complaint involves a May 15 Polish media report concerning a political advertising campaign supporting Trzaskowski by an NGO, linked by the report and Mast to U.S. Democratic Party operatives.
NASK, Poland’s state body addressing online disinformation, indicated that externally funded Facebook campaigns seemingly promoted Trzaskowski while disparaging Nawrocki and far-right candidate Sławomir Mentzen.
NASK’s analysis could not conclusively identify the funding source or commissioner of the Facebook campaign. Analysts suggested potential provocation, requiring actions by national security services, according to the Digital Affairs Ministry in an email to POLITICO.
The matter was reported to the Internal Security Agency and National Electoral Office, while Meta was requested to remove the ads. Meta stated the ads had expired by the time of public disclosure and were no longer available.
In a recent debate, Nawrocki accused Trzaskowski of receiving funds from Germany and liberal financier George Soros. Trzaskowski refuted any improper financing allegations and threatened Nawrocki with legal action.
