Children have vivid imaginations and enjoy playing different roles or imitating characters from their favorite cartoons. It seems like this shouldn't need explaining, but apparently, it does. Confederation party (Konfederacja) member Konrad Berkowicz published a video on his profile on the "X" platform showing a child at play. He decided to ridicule her.
* Konfederacja is a Polish coalition of an extreme right-wing, right-wing populist and Eurosceptic nature.
Confederation MP Secretly Films a Child
The video shows a little girl dressed as a cat - she's wearing a mask and has a toy tail attached to her shorts. The child was playing behind a bus stop, jumping in the grass. It appears that not only did the MP record her, but he also decided to infer a deeper meaning from the scene. He captioned the post with the cryptic message:
They are normal. It's all of us who are sick
- he wrote ironically. The video quickly attracted a flood of comments.
The Video Outraged Internet Users
People online were not pleased with the fact that Konrad Berkowicz secretly recorded children in public places. They pointed out that there was nothing alarming in the scene, only typical children's play.
The child is playing at being a cat. Didn't you play Batman, sir?
It's a child. Didn't you pretend to be a soldier or a wolf when you were little?
Do you often record children at play?
Mr. Konrad, didn't you play as a child? Were you an adult right from the start?
It's just a little girl playing...

Why are you posting a video of some girl who's just playing?
Being a 40-year-old secretly recording children and then posting the videos online isn't exactly normal
- wrote the commenters.
One commenter couldn’t hold back and responded by posting a photo of Janusz Korwin-Mikke (founder of the Confederation party; in 2022 he was removed from it) rolling in the snow in just his underwear. "Have you seen Korwin in his underwear in the snow?" - asked another user, also outraged by the MP's behavior.
