Kraków police source has said that the gunman behind Saturday's mass shooting, which left nine people dead and more than a dozen injured, held far-left rather than far-right views, directly challenging Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński's claim, which has already spread through Western mainstream media and been amplified by liberal-progressive and left-wing MEPs, including Renew Europe leader Valérie Hayer.

Rzeczpospolita, one of Poland's leading newspapers, broke the explosive story on Sunday, quoting a source within Kraków police who said officers had discovered material suggesting that the 24-year-old Michał Oksiński 'may be ultraleft-wing', including photographs of him posing with certain flags.

The source nevertheless cautioned against forcing a political explanation onto a disturbed individual: 'He was simply eliminating people.'
