However, more attention from commenters entry MP (which quickly began to spread, has over 140,000 views) returned a fragment about the president of Warsaw. Internet users reacted: “Trzaskowski was in Poznań yesterday, and today he celebrated in Warsaw. Why are you lying?”; “Rafał was in Poznań yesterday, and Jacek is a liar!''; “Sasin, you lie like a rude bitch. Trzaskowski was in Poznań on the 10th” (censored by the editors); “You're a liar, a shameless liar, Sasin!” .

Despite this, Jacek Sasin did not withdraw from what he wrote, maintaining that the president of Warsaw was not in the capital on Independence Day. And two days later, on November 13, as “proof” he attached a comment under his post with a screenshot of one of Trzaskowski's posts on Facebook. The photo shows a frame with Trzaskowski and a man holding a paper net. The men shake hands, in the middle there is an inscription: ''croissants'', and above this frame: 'Marcin's croissants for November 11''. In the photo of Trzaskowski's Facebook post, which Sasin showed, the information: ''1 day'' is circled in red ''. It is about the date of publication, which would be evidence of Trzaskowski's presence in Poznań on Independence Day.

Sasin's message spread on social media. His post was retweeted over 700 times. Information about the president's departure on November 11 was also spread by others. “No, it's a hit. The president of the capital, Rafau Trzaskowski, 'escaped' from Warsaw to Poznań on November 11 to spend Independence Day there” – she wrote one of the Internet users on the X website. On November 13, after Trzaskowski's visit to Polsat's “Guest of Events”, one of the Internet users commenting on this conversation he wrote: “Mr. Trzaskowski really believes that the person who banned crosses in the Municipal Office, who runs away from Warsaw on Independence Day and goes to Poznań to eat croissants, has a decisive advantage in the Confederation electorate?”

“On the 106th anniversary of Poland regaining independence, the president of the capital city of Warsaw laid flowers at the monument of Marshal Józef Piłsudski at the Belvedere Palace,” we read on the website Warsaw City Hall. IN south The main celebrations of the holiday began in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in which Trzaskowski took part. Then, about what too informs city ​​hall, at 6 p.m. the president opened the “Wspólna Niepodległa” concert at the Warsaw citadel. This event ended the capital's celebrations of the holiday.

Photos from the celebration of the 106th anniversary of Poland regaining independence are available online. Trzaskowski can be seen in many of them. He himself published materials on social media profiles, including: With speeches after laying flowers at the monument of Marshal Józef Piłsudski or after the opening concert “Common Independent”.

Trzaskowski's post, which Sasin referred to, was published on the Mayor of Warsaw's Facebook account. However, the publication date is November 10. And on the same day, photos from the Poznań meeting with voters appeared on the profile of the president of Warsaw. Because on November 10, Trzaskowski visited the capital of Greater Poland.

We contacted the press office of the Warsaw City Hall regarding MP Sasin's message that Trzaskowski was to spend Independence Day in Poznań. “Of course, we deny it. President Rafał Trzaskowski was in Poznań, but the day before. On November 11, he spent the entire day in Warsaw,” a representative of the press office informed us. She added that the president had been in the capital since the morning.

Trzaskowski also commented on Sasin's post. November 12 he wrote in his social media: “Only in the last two days (including November 11, National Independence Day!!!) two politicians associated with PiS managed to falsely attack me via social media (…) Instead, former minister Sasin suggested that as the president of the capital on 11/11 I was outside Warsaw. And I boasted about it. Evidence? A recording from Poznań, where I was actually there, but… a day earlier.'' He added: “We must be vigilant about falsehoods. We must be resistant to lies.

However, the topic of where Trzaskowski spent Independence Day came up on November 13 at the meeting of the mayor of Warsaw with the inhabitants of Olsztyn. A young woman in the audience said: ''I voted for you in the second round of the elections and I am still tormented by remorse, to be honest. And probably most people in the room will not agree with me, because here there are practically only your supporters,' she said. “I wanted to ask how it is that you are the president of Warsaw, you want to be the president of Poland, and during the Independence March you leave Warsaw for Poznań and record TikToks there?” – she asked. Trzaskowski replied: “That's not true. Unfortunately, this is not true. Well, you see, this is the lie and manipulation today – I spent the entire Independence Day in Warsaw. From dawn to dusk, but I was in Poznań the day before.

Then he described how he spent November 11 this year. The broadcast from the meeting in Olsztyn is available at Facebook policy.
