A Polish presidential candidate, Karol Nawrocki, faced significant ridicule after a disguised television appearance promoting his own book became public.
Years ago, he praised his book, written under a pseudonym, portraying himself as an objective expert on 1980s Polish organized crime.
Social media posts further exposed his deception, revealing his interaction with the supposed author, further damaging his image.
This scandal has generated considerable mockery online and raises questions about his suitability for the presidential office.
