Minister Zbigniew Ziobro’s statement prompted a fierce Twitter exchange between the former prime minister Marek Belka and Maciej Wąsik, the deputy head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

By “congratulating him on the verdict” Marek Belka made a reference to a defamation suit lost by Maciej Wąsik, which had been brought against him by the Open Dialogue Foundation. The court ordered the deputy minister to publish his apologies to the ODF, Bartosz Kramek and Lyudmyla Kozlovska on TVP Info, TV Republika and wPolsce.pl websites.

The non-final judgment in the case was issued on 29 June, but the Foundation revealed this fact at the end of July, after receiving the minutes of the court hearing.
