He didn't. It's just one of the many smears that the right wingers in Poland are making against him.

Quite frankly, those 100 Euro/hour lawyers can't do any more than someone who knows administrative law can do.

All they will do is wait until the 2 month deadline expires for issuing a decision, then they proceed to issue a letter stating that the Foreigners Office is infringing on administrative law by failing to provide the decision on time. After they fail to get a response to that letter within 7 days, they direct the case to the Administrative Courts. At this point, the decision tends to be issued before the case gets heard in court.

Anything else is incompetence on the part of the lawyer, no matter how much they charge.

As for Mooli, the closest he's ever been to a 100 Euro/hour lawyer was when he was thrown out of that business mixer for harassing guests.

Yes, isn't it actually an obligation to report a crime if you have knowledge of it? One can only wonder why he chooses to insult the dead rather than follow the correct legal process.

Off the top of my head, no, but it's nothing unusual in local politics. Torq might remember, but I think there was an example from PiS too somewhere.


He's just looking for an excuse to attack Adamowicz because right wing bloggers told him to do so. I'd even add that most people expected Adamowicz to lose in Gdańsk, yet he won convincingly. People genuinely liked him there, and the ones that hated him were often writing from small villages in Eastern Poland and not Gdańsk at all.

Happens quite a lot in Poland with local mayors. Jarosław Wałęsa is a rising star in Polish politics, and PO wanted him to serve as mayor in Gdańsk as he was/is being groomed for the big stage. They were also tiring of Adamowicz internally, because he was pushing things in Gdańsk that PO were opposed to.

Nothing unusual if you follow local politics in Poland.

Why do you hate Catholicism so much?

Too much Idź Pod Prąd, I suppose.

All the media present, all the video cameras, and not one single picture of the alleged effigy. Remarkable.


Nope.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]


And not a single photograph exists of said effigy. How remarkable.


Except they wouldn't. There were plenty of groups opposing them and no-one got shot. Doesn't fit the narrative fed to you by Nowogrodzka though, does it?

Bolshevik...US...

Nope, I have to say that you've lost me there.


That simply didn't happen.

Such is the narrative that PiS are trying to push down everyone's throat.

Kaczyński couldn't even find the decency to attend the minute of silence in the Sejm for Adamowicz. That's how pathetic they are.

You won't go far in Poland if you think professionals are professional.

Many foreigners in Poland have been burnt badly because of so-called professionals giving terrible advice or flat-out lying.

As for Trump, he's a disaster for Poland.

It's painfully obvious that you can't read Polish and don't know Poland. The vast majority of hatred on the Polish internet comes from the right wing and nationalists, not the left wing.

Now, why are you trying to desperately push the topic onto the left wing being to blame for this? Why is it so hard to accept that he was the victim of someone that was radicalised by the amount of hatred spewing from TVP and Polskie Radio on a daily basis?

Well written, Torq, I appreciate it.

I look forward to your inevitable disappointment when you get told to go away and that the decision will be sent by post. Decisions are taking up to a year, if not longer.

Another example of rightardation in Poland.

Fortunately, the police are going after idiots making death threats and suggestions that other people should die.

Nice. PiS gives prisoners free access to TV, yet people have to pay for it in hospitals.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]

Oh please, as if you expect us to believe that. It's obvious that it's the same right wing goons that constantly harassed other public figures, as they're desperate to take attention away from the role of the government in the death of Adamowicz.

It's emerged today that prisoners only have access to TVP in prison. No wonder the murderer was so radicalised.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]


No doubt by the same people who bombarded Adamowicz with hatred and abuse before he was murdered.

Rightardation is really a disease.

It's not an article. It's a forum post on the money.pl forums, where anyone can post.

Well informed people certainly don't rely on anonymous forum posts.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]

Seriously, can't you provide something better than an anonymous post on an internet forum to prove your allegations?

It's always the sign of someone ill-informed when they rely on internet posts to prove something.

It's interesting that he doesn't actually provide any sources beyond the infamous long-term unemployed/penniless blogger in question.

You've been lied to. Waiting times are about a year right now, with another month to two months to get documents after a positive decision.

The attorney told you 6 months, because they wanted your money.

The presence of a PESEL and paying tax changes nothing during the application process. A complete application also changes nothing, as they won't accept incomplete applications.

Except he wasn't. Yet again, you're repeating accusations found on dodgy right wing websites that don't actually provide any proof. Aren't you ashamed of repeating slander directed at a person that was just brutally murdered in public?


You really have to stop repeating nonsense. Here's a clue: if he wasn't clean, why was he allowed to remain the President of one of the largest Polish foundations?

The answer is simple: you're repeating the accusations of a well known unemployed 'blogger' who has been repeatedly and constantly discredited.

It's interesting why gregy is pushing the PiS line so much though. Why is he so desperate to pin this on Owsiak?

Isn't it interesting to observe how Party orders work? Something like this happens, and the usual suspects are immediately repeating the exact same things as other Party shills. No independent thought, just blind obedience to what the Party demanded.

It's actually a fascinating insight into how PiS supporters think. They'll deny everything and push the official narrative from Nowogrodzka even in the face of overwhelming evidence, because Party above All.

It means they wanted him dead.

That's what Poland is dealing with. Imagine if someone made a fake death certificate about one of your family members, would you be so quick to dismiss it?

Yes, of course! Mods, would you be kind enough to delete his name for me, please?

He's an absolute cretin. It's just amazing that people don't even do the most basic of research into their 'source' before posting it as fact.

Have you seen the disgusting material broadcast last night on Wiadomośći? Even the right wing political commentators are disgusted by it, which says something.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]


You only need to look at his pictures from Facebook to see that he had no problem maintaining a good physique and no problems with living an 'ordinary' life until prison.


It was carefully planned and carried out. He attacked at a symbolic moment, he planned the whole murder carefully and he knew exactly what he was doing. This wasn't the act of a deranged person, this was the act of a criminal who knew exactly what he was doing.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]


If he was really found guilty of breaking the law 8 times and hiding invoices, do you think he would be allowed to serve as the President of a foundation which collects money through the 1% of income tax system? Do you think he would be allowed to collect money openly in public?

Actually, that stuff was written by the "blogger" Piotr Wielgucki, who has been spouting all sorts of hate directed at Owsiak for years. He's notorious for making up all sorts of rubbish.

It's just sad to see how someone would believe in a random Wordpress page over the actual audited accounts that have been accepted.

It takes two minutes on Google to verify such information, but it says a lot about right wing supporters that they can't even be bothered to look at the actual information.
