Polanski says he was wrong to claim he was a Red Cross spokesman
"It's important though, and I accept this, that they [the Red Cross] don't support any political party and I've made sure that that's been taken down."
"Some of these stories about me feel like scraping the barrel. Owners of the right-wing media, multi-millionaires and billionaires, are worried about the rise of the Green Party."
"We are a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation and to protect our vital work, we do not take part in party-political activity or campaigns."
"This is not the first time the Green Party leader hasn't been straight with the public. There are serious questions about the work and qualifications he has boasted about."
Zack Polanski acknowledged he incorrectly referred to himself as a spokesman for the British Red Cross while campaigning for the Green Party's deputy leadership. He clarified that he had hosted fundraisers for the charity but used the wrong terminology. Polanski emphasized the Red Cross's neutrality and stated that he had removed the misleading claims from his website. He expressed frustration over media scrutiny and suggested that right-wing media owners were concerned about the Green Party's growth and potential tax implications.
