Attack on the offices of MEP Łukasz Kohut. “I won’t be intimidated”
“The wave of right-wing hatred in Poland is rising. A fire extinguisher in the Sejm, happenings in front of Auschwitz, Russian hate on the Internet, and now swastikas on my regional office,” Kohut said later in the post.
Kohut emphasized that “you cannot be intimidated.” “We will continue to do our job – Silesia is open, multicultural and our common region – there is no consent to the Nazi wave and acts of vandalism,” the MEP emphasized.
Attack on the office of MEP Łukasz Kohut. The police are investigating the case
The case was reported to the police, who will now look for the perpetrators. — This is the first such incident in Katowice. I received online threats, but in Rybnik, where I have a second office. This happened for the first time at the Silesian Embassy, Kohut said in an interview with “Dziennik Zachodni”.
Kohut said he did not want to clearly indicate who may be behind the act of vandalism. — But on the other hand, we see this brown wave on the Internet, hate speech against all politicians who spread pro-European values. As a Silesian, I have an additional group that hates me, so I think it’s connected – he added in an interview with “DZ”.
