Morawiecki’s appeal come after the Polish opposition had tried to blame Law and Justice for the death of Gdańsk’s mayor. PiS spokeswoman Beata Mazurek criticised these accusations on Twitter:

“In the face of human tragedy, PiS behaved as it should have. Unfortunately, the total opposition and some of the media used this tragedy as part of their election campaign to attack the Right. We will not stand by in the face of these suppositions, lies and insinuations.”
