🇵🇱 Claims that the Kraków mass shooter held far-right views are being challenged by the city’s own mayor.
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński claimed the gunman, who killed six people and wounded around 16 yesterday, held radical nationalist views.
But Kraków Mayor Łukasz Gibała rejected that explanation.
“This has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with any political ideologies.
I don’t know what the minister is basing this on. In my opinion, we’re dealing with a madman here, and the claim that this is connected to polarization is unfounded.”
The dispute comes just over a week after Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government faced accusations of attempting to take control of Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal.
With Tusk already battling the right-wing opposition, the mayor’s remarks call the government out for using the massacre to push its political agenda before the motive is even established.

In Poland, it has been discovered that the Kraków attacker, Michał Oksiński, was a radical left-wing, antifascist and anarcho-communist activist who mocked Christianity. Tusk’s government and the left wing media tried to link him to right-wing groups, but it is now known that this is not the case.

- Poland’s Kraków Attack Exposes Media Spin: The X post details how the Kraków attacker Michał Oksiński, a confirmed radical left-wing antifascist and anarcho-communist who mocked Christianity, was initially linked by Donald Tusk’s government and left-leaning media to right-wing groups, a pattern repeated across EU incidents where initial narratives blame conservatives before facts emerge showing leftist or Islamist perpetrators.
- EU Media Patterns Shield Leftist and Islamist Actors: European outlets and officials routinely downplay or redirect blame from left-wing extremists and Muslim radicals toward “far-right” threats, as seen in selective terrorism statistics and rushed reporting on attacks, preserving pro-migration policies while X posts and videos highlight how this distorts public perception of violence sources.
- US Media Mirrors the Blame Game: American mainstream coverage often frames right-wingers as primary culprits for crimes involving leftists or Islamist extremists, echoing EU tactics through selective labeling and omission, with numerous YouTube analyses and X threads documenting how this sustains narratives despite contradictory evidence from investigations.
Stalin used the killing to launch the Great Purge, and hundreds of thousands of people died. Historians still debate how much the NKVD knew and allowed. The pattern is the same every time. A troubled lone gunman, a government that already knows who to blame before the investigation starts, and a crackdown on the people standing in its way. Poland should be asking hard questions. Who deleted his accounts? Why did the Interior Minister announce a motive before prosecutors had one? And will this be used to shut down or smear the Independence March? Pray for the victims and their families. Then watch what Tusk’s government does next. – American as Trump
