It turns out that not only Karol Nawrocki likes to give interviews under a different name. Last week, former PiS senator Waldemar Bonkowski misled the reporters of the Reuters agency, claiming to be Henryk Trezecinski. The politician convicted of abusing the dog gave an interview during a rally support for Viktor Orban in Budapest.
The Reuters agency reported that in Budapest during a rally on March 15 on the occasion of the National Day Hungarian A group of people from Poland took part in the demonstration with the participation of Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
– I consider Mr. Viktor Orban, like many Patriot Poles, as a great state of state – said the man who introduced himself to the reporter of the Reuters agency as Henryk Trezecinski. – We can only envy Hungary that we do not have a state of state like you Viktor Orban he added.
Journalist TVN24 BIS Justyna Zuber pointed out that this man is strikingly similar to a former senator PIS Waldemar Bonkowski, convicted of abusing a dog with particular cruelty. “At the top of the first photo is 'Henryk Trezecinski', who speaks for Reuters, as a supporter of Viktor Orban from Poland. At the bottom is PiS senator Waldemar Bonkowski convicted of abusing a dog with particular cruelty. Isn't that the same person?” – a reporter wondered on the X. platform.
Waldemar Bonkowski himself posted photos from his stay in Hungary in social media. “Today I celebrated with my nephews, I met several patriots from Poland faithful to Hungary, but many failed under the influence of GP, TV synagogue and PiS, because they changed Wajha” – wrote a former senator.
Reuters: The interlocutor provided false data
The editors of TVN24.pl asked Reuters if an error has crept in the agency's account. The agency's representative replied that “one of the clients announced that the interlocutor's name was wrong.”
“However, false data was provided by the person with whom the conversation was conducted. This person is a Polish politician convicted of animal abuse and released from his function. Probably, not wanting to be identified, he gave a false name and surname” – wrote in response.
The Reuters agency introduced a correction in the description of the recording from Hungary. Currently there is the signature: “Supporter of Orban from Poland, Henryk Trezecinski changed to Waldemar Bonkowski. Incorrect name given by the interlocutor.”
Another Batyr?
This is another case when a politician associated with Law and Justice gives an interview under the changed name. Last week, the media pointed out that a book published in 2018 about the history of the Tri -City criminal Nikodem Skotarczyk entitled “Confession of Nikos from behind the grave” Karol Nawrocki He wrote under the pseudonym Tadeusz Batyr.
In the past, Nawrocki tried to hide that he was behind the creation of Tadeusz Batyr. Social media still has his entry from May 2018, in which the PiS candidate wrote: “I dealt with organized crime in the Polish People's Republic for a few years, so Tadeusz Batyr applied to me a few tips regarding the enthusiasm of Nikos.
In addition to the claims that he met Batyr personally, in the same year Nawrocki as Batyr gave several interviews. With a changed voice and a blurred face, he spoke about the book for TVP3 Gdańsk. Batyr then referred to the “research of the historian, Dr. Karol Nawrocki”. – Yes. He is actually a historian who inspired me to my work, the first who dealt with issues of organized crime in the PRL – said Batyr.
