Trzaskowski made the statement on Friday, responding to allegations that Facebook advertisements promoting his candidacy and targeting right-wing opponents were financed by external actors.
According to a report byPolish media outlet Wirtualna Polska, the ads were linked to an Austrian firm cooperating with the activist organization Akcja Demokracja.
Advertising accounts involved in the campaign reportedly spent more on political content over the past week than any official election committee in Poland.
However, Trzaskowski’s campaign firmly denied any coordination, stating that it had no role in the creation or promotion of the content.
The incident triggered a response from Poland’s national security agencies. The Internal Security Agency (ABW) acted before the case became public, after receiving a tip from the government-linked research institute NASK.
A spokesman for the country's security services said that the ABW had briefed the president and prime minister before a formal request was submitted by the President's Office.
In the wake of the reports, Trzaskowski’s team filed a formal complaint with the prosecution service and demanded that Facebook’s parent company, Meta, block unauthorized political ads.
Government officials said that analytical meetings involving the ABW, the national electoral authority and Meta took place in classified settings between May 9 and 10. NASK publicly acknowledged the possible interference attempt on Thursday, May 15.
