Konrad Berkowicz sued by TVP journalist for alleged insult

Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz, a TVP journalist, has filed a private indictment against Konfederacja politician Konrad Berkowicz at the District Court for Warsaw-Śródmieście. The legal action follows an incident in early October outside the Sejm, where Berkowicz allegedly insulted the reporter.

The conflict arose when Dobrosz-Oracz asked Berkowicz if he had served in the military. Berkowicz, stating he was in a hurry for parliamentary votes, reportedly told the journalist, “I am talking to journalists, not to prostitutes.”

Dobrosz-Oracz alleges that the comments were an insult to her personal dignity and were widely recognized as offensive. She is seeking a public trial and has named several witnesses. In response to the backlash, Berkowicz posted on X, “I crossed an uncrossable line. I apologize to all prostitutes,” rather than offering a direct apology to the journalist.

The incident has drawn condemnation from various sectors, including an official statement from Telewizja Polska (TVP), which criticized the politician's behavior.
