They say the writers are their own worst critics – but for a man who can become Poland’s next president, they cannot be far from the truth.
Karol Nowrocky has been widely ridiculed after it was revealed on television several years ago that he wore a disguise to praise his book.
Written by a mysterious author called Tadeusz Batyr, the book documented the lives of a communist Polish gangster in the 1980s.
However, Tadeusz Batyr has been revealed to be a pseudonym created by Nawrocki, a historian and former museum director, supported by Right-wing Law and the Judiciary Party (PIS) in the upcoming presidential elections.
In 2018, Nawrocki appeared on television as his alter ego Tadeusz Batyr, disguised in a hat, and was praised and praised for his blurred face: “This historian [Karol Nawrocki] It actually really inspired me…” says the vague person.
Even more embarrassing for the presidential candidate, social media posts appeared, claiming that Nowrocky had met the author. “I studied organized crime for several years… Tadeusz Batyr contacted me for some guidance,” he became visible, and he was still visible,” he thanked the interesting book for the help.
The scandal has led to a storm of ock laughs on Poland’s social media, with users wondering if it was a campaign by Tadeusz Batil and Karol Naulocky in the presidential election.
If Nowrocky is concerned about the effects of a deception in the election, he didn’t show it when asked to comment on the obvious split personality.
According to Poland’s Newsweek magazine, Nowrocky’s “charm” and the underworld are well known. Local media reports that historians are familiar with several figures related to Polish organized crime and biker gangs. Nawrocki says the interaction is strictly professional.
Now Rocky is currently second in the presidential election behind Prime Minister Donald Tass, Warsaw Mayor Rafal Truzaskovsky, a former liberal civil coalition party. In third place, Slaumirmenzen, the far-right candidate, has seen a surge in popularity recently. His coalition has supported ultra-low taxes, stopping what it calls “left ideology,” and supporting the end of immigration.
The outcome of this election could be reverberated well beyond Warsaw. Poland is an important partner in Western support for Ukraine. Up to 95% of military aid sent to the country passes through Poland, with around 10,000 US troops stationed here. Poland has crossed the border with both Ukraine and Russia, and is rapidly expanding its troops, vowing to spend almost 5% of this year’s GDP on the troops. This is the highest in NATO.
Piss-supported Karol Naulocky has denounced the “decision of European elites” for starting a war in Ukraine. Senior PIS Party, a campaign for lower taxes and energy security, accused the EU of conspiring to interfere in elections.
“This election is extremely important,” says political analyst Mahsin Zaborowski.[Tusk ally] Trzaskowski is the only candidate pro-European candidate, Ukrainian Atlanticist and supports. He represents the continuation of foreign policy. ”
And this election is also important to Paul at home. Abortion access, same-sex marriage and improved rule-of-law reform were all promised when his coalition came to power in 2023. That’s why Tass has not been able to pass the important reforms so far.
“Those who voted for it [Tusk]especially first time voters and women, can be very disappointed,” Zaborowski says.
Two months before the first round of the vote, Citizens’ Union’s Trzaskowski is taking the lead. However, as polls narrowed, Karol Nowrocky was energetically active. He is eager to persuade voters that he is elected president, not the shadowy Tadeuz Bathil.
