Polish Justice Minister: The Krakow attacker read about Anders Breivik on the internet
The recent shooting in Krakow, which resulted in six deaths, has sparked a debate in Poland regarding the motivations of the attacker, Michał Oksiński. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński suggested that Oksiński was influenced by far-right ideologies, a claim that the ruling Law and Justice party vehemently denied. Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek supported Kierwiński's assertion, stating that Oksiński had been reading about Anders Breivik, the Norwegian terrorist responsible for the 2011 attacks that killed 77 people. Evidence of Oksiński's far-right interests was found, including a Gadsden flag in his home. The PiS party criticized Żurek's comments, claiming they mislead the international community. Oksiński also allegedly killed his family members before the shooting spree in Krakow, where he was ultimately killed by police. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, focusing on potential terrorism and serial murder charges.
