Distasteful gag of the All-Polish Youth. Treli's office has identified as an ‘Iran school’

A gag about the war in Iran

The full dispute began after the publication on the Youth of All Poland profile of the photograph of Tomasz Trela's post office in Łódź, bearing an different comment addressed to the Prime Minister of Israel. The entry gives the geographical coordinates of this place and defines them as ‘the Iranian school where many children are staying’.

The entry was a clear, though by many perceived as inappropriate, mention to the realities of war and precise military attacks. However, Thomas Trela himself did not consider this publication a gag and reacted decisively.

The publication of the All-Polish Youth provoked outrage among another politicians of the Civic Coalition. MEP Bartosz Arlukowicz described it as “an incredible scandal” and expressed his anticipation that the case would be dealt with by the prosecution. In his speech he besides referred to Krzysztof Bosak and Sławomir Mentzen, marking them in the context of the full situation.

We hope that this has led you to reflect and halt supporting Israel's genocide. – replied the Youth of All Poland under the entry of Arlukovich.

Call to the police

The reaction of MP Lewica was immediate. Tomasz Trela harshly criticized the authors of the entry, calling them a "bruna riffraff" and informing them about reporting the case to the police. Marcin Osowski, the president of the All-Polish Youth, referred to his words, which alternatively of softening the situation, tightened the message, reaching for irony and references to the current policy.

In his reply, he suggested that since he stressed the importance of the regulation of law, there is no reason to be afraid because, as he ironically stated, "Israel fires only democratic missiles". Finally, in a mocking tone, he sent a link to Facebook's home page as an alleged address for the police and suggested a fellow associate execute respiratory exercises.

Although the case has caused a large stir in the network, its final settlement will most likely belong to the prosecution. It will be crucial to find whether a “geolocational joke” was a threat or simply a manifestation of a peculiarly dark political humor.
