DISINFO: Lithuanian gays interfered in Polish elections

SUMMARY

Lithuanian gays interfered in Polish elections on 13 October.

RESPONSE

There is no evidence that the LGBT+ community in Lithuania interfered in the Polish parliamentary elections. The Lithuanian and Polish LGBT+ organizations have criticised the Lithuanian prime minister's idea to nominate Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of Poland's conservative Law and Justice party, for a top state award. These critics cannot be considered as interference in the electoral process in Poland. This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the LGBT+.
