- Creation of the Polish National Foundation [Polska Fundacja Narodowa]
The media in Poland report the creation of the Polish National Foundation [Polska Fundacja Narodowa], an organization funded by state-controlled enterprises, with an annual budget of 100 million zlotys (25 million $).
The Foundation's mandate is to promote a positive image of Poland abroad. According to Jackiewicz, the former Secretary of Treasury: "Poland is a country which is being hurt by false, unnecessary and stereotypical information" which is spread abroad by "various media, organizations and respected people around the world". Cezary Jurkiewicz, the chief of the PNF, is one of the leaders of the right-wing "Gazeta Polska" clubs and an activist of the ruling Peace and Justice party. His deputy, Maciej Swirski is the founder of the Redoubt of Good Name - Polish Anti-Defamation League. Swirski and his Redoubt acquired certain notoriety last year, protesting the Oscar-winning film "Ida", alleging that it: "can make people falsely believe that the Poles murdered European Jews". Swirski also requested that president Duda of Poland strip Jan T. Gross of his Order of Merit of the Polish Republic. The leader of the Polish National Foundation described professor Jan T. Gross of Princeton as a: "particularly dangerous slanderer [who] under the guise of academic pursuits leads a campaign of slanders and insults against Poland". More recently, Swirski declared that the European Commission, instead of worrying about the state of democracy in Poland, should "study the breach of treaties by the Germans who let into Europe an unknown number of terrorists".
