Poland's ruling PiS criticised for propaganda tactics amid claims of Ukrainian influence

Commentators argue that Poland's Law and Justice party (PiS) is losing voter support due to overly aggressive propaganda, citing past Polish campaigns that backfired, such as the 1990s attacks on Aleksander Kwaśniewski and later on Donald Tusk. They assert that the party's messaging alienates moderate voters and erodes credibility.

Another analysis claims that Ukraine conducts a cognitive operation against Poland, using detailed research of Polish public sentiment and coordinated social‑media activity to shape political discourse. The expert describes this as an asymmetric influence effort that leverages psychological and social‑technical tools to affect Polish politics.

Both pieces highlight concerns about external and internal forces shaping Poland's political landscape and the potential impact on electoral outcomes.
