They refused to pay a fine of PLN 10,000

Until recently, Leszek Miller's favourite Magdalena Ogórek and the right-wing publicist “To the Thing” and earlier besides a public media individual in the time of the Law and Justice government Rafał Ziemkiewicz received a $10,000 fine and the point was that they did not want to pay for the defamation they had committed. Andrzej Duda pardoned them, as reported by Rzeczpospolita.

Penalties for speaking on TVP Info

Rafał Ziemkiewicz and Magdalena Ogórek behaved criminally adequate that the court punished them for their statements on TVP Info about activist Elżbieta Podlesna.

Let us quote the Virtual Media portal, which gives details of the case: In May the second instance court upheld the decision from the first instance, finalising the conviction of Magdalena Ogórek and Rafał Ziemkiewicz for defamation of Elizabeth Podlesna. Each convict was to pay a fine of PLN 10,000. Ogórek and Ziemkiewicz spoke about Podlesna in February 2019 in the program "In the Back of a Vision", shortly after the activist participated in the protest in front of the TVP Info headquarters, in which cucumber was verbally attacked.

Psychic mockery

The journalists said that Podlesna, a scientist and psychotherapist, takes patients with her “for various events”, and they themselves “behave as if they have brainwashed professionally”. – We can relate to this impression, and if it is the usage of our own skills, here in fact quasi-medical, to manipulate the human psyche, then I am inactive waiting for the intellectual Society to respond on specified a matter. – they spoke without a shadow of embarrassment and could not afford a minimum of reflection and decency in their propaganda.

Cucumber and Ziemkiewicz would gotta pay only PLN 10 thousand, “quickly” for their earnings on TVP. After all, fresh media reports point to Byzantium in public media during the times of the Law and Justice. Well, although these amounts were surely not felt for both of them, the president decided to draw a helping hand to them. It's a pity he showed that he agreed to hatred in public space.
