Bartosz Kownacki’s banner was destroyed

The devastated banner also had the Law and Justice slogan: Safe Future of Poles crossed out and a swastika with an arrow pointing at Kownacki. “This is what a hate campaign looks like. Let’s maintain culture and respect for others,” commented the MP.

Kownacki is running from constituency number four, covering the area of ​​Bydgoszcz and the following counties: Bydgoszcz, Inowrocław, Mogilno, Nakło, Sępolno, Świecie, Tuchola and Żnin.

Banners of PiS politicians vandalized

This is not the only case of banners of Law and Justice politicians being destroyed in the region. Mikołaj Bogdanowicz, who is running for the Senate, reported a similar situation on social media. One of the photos shows that his banner and Kownacki’s have been cut.

Other photos also show that the banners were destroyed and “decorated” with slogans such as those visible on Kownacki’s banner. The banners of Ireneusz Stachowiak and Piotr Król were also damaged. “Is this what an honest election campaign looks like!? Let’s respect each other,” Bogdanowicz concluded.
