Insult in Kolbuszowa Dolna

Kolbuszowa Dolna, Podkarpackie Insult ✗ Not verified

On 17 October 2023, an advertisement for a T-shirt inciting violence against Ukrainian children appeared on the Instagram profile "kibicowskim_zyciem", run from Kolbuszowa Dolna. The graphic on the shirt showed an adult man lifting a small boy dressed in yellow and blue, the colours of Ukraine, with one hand while raising his clenched fist to strike him. Both figures were set against the Polish flag, with the slogan "End of hospitality" ("Koniec gościnu" [sic]).

The post showed a photograph of a man wearing the shirt with the caption: "'End of hospitality' T-shirts already with the customers. Greetings!!". The profile, followed by more than 17,000 people, is linked to the milieu of the Zjednoczeni-Kibice "Z-K" group and to the community of the Międzyszkolny Uczniowski Klub Sportowy Sokoł in the Podkarpackie region.

The sale of the shirts drew public reaction only in the summer of 2026, after a wave of attacks on refugees from Ukraine. Deputy minister of science Andrzej Szeptycki published a photograph of the shirt on X with the comment that "every child boxer can now buy himself a shirt and proudly attack minors on buses and elsewhere" (20 August). Deputy minister of national education Paulina Piechna-Więckiewicz posted an image of the shirt with the comment: "You wear a shirt on which a strong man beats a child. A CHILD... whoever wears something like that thinks something like that" (20 August).
