Polish author and journalist Jakub Zulczyk has been charged with insult and defamation after calling his president a ‘moron’ on Facebook last November. 

The writer called President Andrzej Duda a moron who did not understand the US federal election process in a tweet. 

It is a crime in Poland to insult state flags, religion and state leaders. If convicted, Zulczyk may face up to three years in prison.
