In a surprising revelation, Karol Nawrocki, a candidate in Poland's upcoming presidential election, is drawing mockery for a peculiar promotional tactic he employed years ago. The historian and right-wing Law and Justice party representative donned a disguise to herald his own book, written under the pseudonym Tadeusz Batyr, which narrates the story of a gangster from the communist era.

Polish Presidential Candidate Faces Backlash Over Disguise Blunder
Karol Nawrocki, a presidential hopeful, finds himself the subject of ridicule after unveiling a past PR stunt involving a disguise to praise his own book.
In an interview from 2018, Nawrocki disguised himself and praised his scholarly work apparently from the shadows, leading to a flurry of social media derision. Critics have since questioned whether it will be Nawrocki or his alter-ego campaigning in the election cycle. While President Duda's administration claims the election's significance extends beyond Polish borders, political analysts emphasize the implications it has for domestic issues and legislative progress as well.
With the first round of voting approaching, Nawrocki's camp is ramping up efforts to regain focus after this unforeseen scandal while competing against notable opponents such as Rafal Trzaskowski.
