In Warsaw, opposition MP Krzysztof Brejza sued former PM Jarosław Kaczynski for defamation after the latter alleged him of “abhorrent crimes” during a Pegasus inquiry, with the case set for a November court hearing.
Opposition MP Krzysztof Brejza filed a lawsuit against former Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczynski after Kaczynski, during a Pegasus inquiry commission, accused him of committing “ghastly crimes”. Brejza rejected the accusations and claimed defamation. The hearing was scheduled for November 4 at the District Court for Warsaw‑Śródmieście but was postponed to December 9.
Kaczynski entered the court, asserting his complete innocence. He explained that during the commission he was obliged to provide the full truth and could not withhold information, which is why he made the statements. When asked whether he would apologise to Brejza, he replied, “I have no reason to apologise.” He said the only proper remedy would be dismissal of the case. He also explained his absence at the September reconciliation hearing, describing Brejza as a man of “extremely bad will” who speaks aggressively toward other politicians.
Dorota Brejza, wife of the MP, was present at the hearing. She emphasized that no one can be called a criminal unless they have committed one. She reiterated that her husband has committed no crimes and that, if the president is willing to say “sorry,” their apology would be accepted. Otherwise, the matter will be decided by the court.
