Małgorzata Bojko, a associate of the Polish paper Clubs, posted on her Twitter a photograph intended to embarrass Aleksandra K. Wiśniewska, a candidate for the Sejm from the letter of the Civic Coalition in Łódź. Although the entry was already removed, in the photograph we could see respective pairs of people mixed racially – white women and black men. 1 of the duos was about to make Wiśniewska, which was suggested by the post Boyko.
"This is the occupation of a volunteer and a candidate for the Sejm. If you win, it'll happen, oh, it'll happen" – words from Twitter @malboyko.
Boyko wanted to mention to the work of a candidate for the Sejm as a volunteer in Yemen, Iraq and a exile camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. Then there was to be an additional tweet saying that Wiśniewska was fit “only for the lighthouse, due to the fact that what she says doesn't make sense.”

"The @malbojko factories will face legal consequences. Does Gazeta Polska usage activists surviving abroad to make the suit hard in electoral mode? You will not escape responsibility."

A number of policy-related people have been critical of Boyko's actions. Adam Trapka, president of Modern, wrote:
“The clubs of the Polish paper are the bottom. You will answer for this @TomaszSakiewicz".
Tomasz Sakiewicz is the editor-in-chief of “Gazeta Polska” and “Gazeta Polska Daily”. These writings have a right-wing and conservative profile and frequently support the PiS party.
