Looks like the Nazis are back in Poland. They didn't even have to invade this time.

I truly believe that parliaments should be free from religious symbols, items, or practices. This creates an environment where everyone can feel equally represented, fostering a focus on common values and fair governance. It's about ensuring that our democratic system remains impartial and inclusive for every citizen. This act was amazing though

He didn't do it because of his proud secular values, you troll. He did it because he hates Jews.

It is important to note that hating Jews is not the only defining feature of a Nazi, and that hating Jews does not make one a Nazi. Unless this guy subscribes to Nazi beliefs, then it's inaccurate to say he is a Nazi. He just hates Jews.

He subscribes to Nazi beliefs.

Source? "Trust me bro" isn't exactly credible. Does he say anything about an Aryan race or anything?

I'm not an expert on Nazi beliefs, but I do know that hating Jews isn't the only thing that makes a person a Nazi.

Overall I agree that religion has no business in politics and public services, but this event was the absolute worst way to achieve it.
