The Court of Appeal in Warsaw dismissed Jarosław Kaczyński's action towards Waldemar Kuczyński, who had to apologize for his entries about the Smolensk disaster. Now there is simply a justification for the judgment.
PiS president demanded Kuczyński apologize for his tweets. He blamed Lech Kaczyński for the disaster in his entries. The court considered that individual property had been infringed, but this was not illegal.
– He had all his brother's bad qualities, only the light version. In this respect, he was better than him, more normal. He was Sancho Pansa Jarka. And no uncertainty he is 1 of the accomplices to his death and 95 people. He should not lie on Wawel and be carried to the memorials Kuczyński wrote.
There will be no apology
The court added that the entries violated the emotional sphere of Jarosław Kaczyński, but were part of the public debate. Kuczyński was to exercise constitutional rights concerning freedom of expression. The court did not deal with the causes of the Smolensk disaster.
Agata Bzdyń, quoted by the HR, explained that, according to the court, "a lot can be said and cannot be unduly limited in political debate," she said in an interview with “Rzeczpospolita”.
