In the last days of the presidential campaign, SMSs have again appeared on the network to be an agitation action of Platforma Obywatelska in favor of Rafał Trzaskowski. The candidate's staff is firmly cut off from them. This is another edition of the election disinformation.
Internet users – among them Law and Justice politicians – publish screenshots of SMS screenshots encouraging to vote for Rafał Trzaskowski. On some of the screenshots shown can be seenthat these text messages were sent from the “platform” number signed or as “RitishProv”. Most often, these messages were: “Say 'not' to the monster and the basement. All Poland forward!” In some cases The content of the SMS was disturbed by special signs, on example Each letter and sign was interspersed with the symbol “@”, which made it difficult to read the content.
On May 28, one of such illustrations circulating on the network was published on his account on the website X PiS MP, sovereign Poland Dariusz Matecki. The message was to be sent from the number described as “Platform” at 11.11 on the day on which the screenshot was made. “People throughout the country get such text messages. Bravo Civic Coalition, how do you still cheat?” – commented Matecki.

“You have already completely chopped up such things” – wrote On the website X Paulina Kucińska, a socio-political activist who in 2024 she started to the regional council of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship from the PiS list. She also published a screenshot of the message. You can't see who was her sender.
“Meals are coming for Rafał Trzaskowski. Ohyda!” – wrote On the website X Arkadiusz Puławski, a security expert, former deputy director of the National Security Department at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister. In the screenshot he published by him, the message dated May 28 sounds like earlier, but it ends with the note “Choose Rafał”.
Trzaskowski's staff: “These are not our SMS”
On May 29, we asked the National Office of Platforma Obywatelska and with the head of the election staff Rafał Trzaskowski Wioletta Paprocka-Ślusarska, published in the network.
“These are not our SMS. It's secondary, but in the header there is a platform that does not run campaigns. The campaign is run by a committee and we have nothing to do with these SMS” – told Paprocka -Ślusarska to us. The Civic Platform office replied that the party “did not order such shipping”.
This agitation action seems to be based on produced fakes, which does not happen for the first time during this campaign. Three days before the first round of elections on May 18, many Internet users showed SMSs in social media to encourage also to vote for Rafał Trzaskowski. Also then the candidate's staff denied that he was responsible for it. According to him, it was “mass action of electoral disinformation”. Before fraudsters We warned Then in Zasta24.
