Allegations of Account Compromise

Politician Michał Mentzen publicly questioned the authenticity of recent⁢ posts‍ appearing on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of ⁤the Law and Justice (PiS) party. In a video posted ⁣on September 4, 2025, Mentzen stated his belief that the account ⁣may have been compromised,⁣ declaring, “Someone has broken into PiS into my account!”

Contradictory Policy Positions Highlighted

Mentzen pointed to a series of posts criticizing policies previously enacted by PiS itself. These included criticism of a sugar tax, increases to alcohol excise duties, and the lowering of car depreciation limits – all measures originally adopted by the Law ‍and Justice party.

He further noted a‍ recent reversal on banking taxes, recalling a conversation with Mateusz Morawiecki during his “Beer with Mentzen” campaign where Morawiecki advocated for increased taxes on banks, ⁢predicting they wouldn’t be passed on ⁤to ⁤consumers. The subsequent X posts criticized ‍increasing⁤ taxes on banks, claiming they would raise prices for customers.

Two Possible Explanations

Mentzen presented two potential explanations for the seemingly contradictory ⁢posts: either⁤ the PiS account had been hacked, or the party’s representatives were making illogical statements. He summarized this assessment, stating, “There are only two possibilities: either someone broke into his account, or PiS has people really for idiots.”
