Duda appeared in court

A loud scandal erupted after the former Polish leader stated that Agnieszka Holland's film "Green Border" was watched by "only pigs."

"Only pigs sit in the cinema," Andrzej Duda said then, unexpectedly for everyone.

What is important to understand is that the lawsuit against the ex-president was filed by the Center for Monitoring Racist and Xenophobic Behavior.

The latter claims that the politician "insulted the citizens of his own country" with his words.

The plot of the film "The Green Corridor" is centered around the story of refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union through the "green border" between Belarus and Poland.

The fact that Ms. Holland thus shows Polish employees who do their job for Polish society, for the safety of all of us, for the safety of Poland, I am not surprised that the Border Guard officers who watched this film used the slogan "Only pigs sit in the cinema," Duda said at the time.
