Personally, I think he was deeply disliked in the Council. And the personal relationships between the deputies resulted in this outcome.

If someone can receive seven years in prison because he is disliked by other council members, that actually proves my point about the system not being free. In a functioning legal system, personal relationships or office politics cannot send a person to prison. Only the law and the facts of the case should matter.

So if your explanation is that he was punished because colleagues disliked him, that makes the situation even worse, not better.

See above about McCarthyism. Nothing new for human civilization.

McCarthyism is also remembered as a period of political repression and fear, which is exactly why it is viewed negatively today. If the best comparison is another period of political persecution, then that only reinforces my point, not the opposite.

Sleep well.

I would advise you to stop wasting your time, @iendo. The board's veteran liar will never admit (much less apologize) for his lies. He will come up with more lies, resort to whataboutism, or deflect to completely irrelevant discussions, such as whether or not Ukrainian citizens are Ukrainian. Apologize for falsely implying Ukraine was behind the sabotage in Poland? Don't make me laugh. There is no need to try to "convince" him, since he already knows he's lying. He's been caught lying red-handed multiple times, and always resorts to irrelevant deflections and/or more lies.
