The Green Party leader, Polanski, says he was wrong to describe himself as a Red Cross spokesperson. In comments to the BBC, he acknowledges that he hosted fundraisers for the charity, but he says he used the wrong wording when describing his role publicly. Other outlets report that his opponents have called on him to “come clean” and correct the record, following the controversy over how he characterized his relationship to the Red Cross. Polanski’s revised position focuses on clarifying that his involvement is linked to fundraising rather than speaking on behalf of the organisation. The reports indicate that the dispute centers on the accuracy of his description rather than the fact that he has taken part in fundraising activities. Overall, the coverage agrees that Polanski now accepts responsibility for the phrasing used previously and is seeking to address questions raised by political critics.
