Conservative Suing Polish Paper: ‘They Hate Everyone Who Isn’t a Globalist’

A U.S. conservative activist has called a Polish newspaper he is suing for defamation a “far-left, globalist, progressive outlet” and referred to the reporter who attacked him in an article he wrote for the paper last year as a “fantasist and fairy-tale writer.”
Matthew Tyrmand of the Project Veritas group — who brought the case against Gazeta Wyborcza’s publisher Agora and Tomasz Piatek, the newspaper’s journalist who wrote an article entitled ‘Leopold’s son, Trump’s man’ — spoke to Breitbart London about his courtroom opponents.
“They hate the right, they hate nationalist populists, even free marketers. They hate anyone who doesn’t share their globalist, leftist, progressive, radical world view,” he said of Gazeta Wyborcza, which he called “very very corruptible” due to its post-Communist era ties.
“Tomasz Piatek has had many run-ins with the courts regarding defamation in the past. He’s more of a fantasist and a fairy-tale writer than a reporter,” he said.
In an article published in May last year, Piatek made a number of remarks about Tyrmand – who has previously written for Breitbart News — which the 36-year-old believes were malicious lies published purposely to defame his character as retaliation for an article he wrote only nine days earlier, exploring potential George Soros links with KOD – the Committee for Defence of Democracy [Komitet Obrony Demokracji].
Tyrmand said: “This was very much a response to James O’Keefe [founder of Project Veritas] and my investigation into Soros and KOD. There’s no coincidence in terms of timing, and the timing was such that we did this investigation, we put it out there on Breitbart and elsewhere, I did a bunch of Polish media around it and then a Soros-backed outfit was at the same time funding Gazeta Wyborcza.
“Agora [which Soros’s Open Society Foundations recently took a large stake in] went in and bailed them out because the last government was doing so through PZU [a state owned insurance company] but with the electoral shift in power, that was no longer viable.
“So MDIF [Media Development Investment Fund] comes in as a philanthropic entity that invests where ‘free press is under assault,’ which is obviously nonsense in Poland.
“He comes in, and shortly after, Piatek writes a hit-piece filled with lies saying that I was on Trump’s payroll and by extension that I was a [Vladimir] Putin shill. All this happens at the same time. Incidentally, during that time Gazeta Wyborcza is putting in inserts to fund KOD.”
