Supreme Court Addresses Mass Election Protests: Fines Issued for Vulgar Content

WARSAW – The Supreme Court of Poland has reported a significant number of election protests following the recent presidential elections, with a spokesperson indicating that over 90% of these submissions are duplicated. Many of the protests, often linked to figures such as Roman Giertych, have been found to contain not only copied content but also false personal identification numbers (PESEL). Furthermore, the Supreme Court spokesperson highlighted the presence of "extremely vulgar" language and "unprintable expressions" directed at the First President of the Supreme Court and the President of the Republic in some of these protests. In response to these violations, the Supreme Court has begun imposing financial penalties. One such ruling included a fine of 3,000 PLN for an individual who submitted a protest filled with offensive remarks. The Supreme Court emphasized its commitment to responding adequately to any instances of exceeding legal norms in submitted documents.
