Poland 's President Andrzej Duda is to face court after being sued for insulting citizens of his own country.

Case stems from the controversy surrounding Green Border a controversial film by Agnieszka Holland .

Green Border offers a fictionalised account of the crisis at the Belarus border, where tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers have sought to cross since 2021 with the help of Belarusian authorities.

Duda quoted a statement suggesting that those who went to the cinema to watch it are “swine”.

Duda said he had not himself called such people swine’ but had just “quoted a statement by representatives of the border guard and said that I was not surprised if what they were saying was true” Director Agnieszka Holland is suing Ziobro for likening her new film Green Border to Nazi propaganda.
