Another loud incident involving Euro MP Grzegorz Braun occurred in Katowice. During a visit to the Ministry of Industry, the politician broke the flag of the European Union, trampled it, wiped his shoes on it, and then burned it in front of the monument of KWK "Wujek". The police are already on the case, and the event has sparked a wave of comments across the country.
Event
Grzegorz Braun, known for his controversial activities, appeared in the Ministry of Industry as part of the so-called parliamentary intervention. After a brief conversation with the representatives of the ministry, the politician publicly removed the flag of the European Union, threw it on the floor, trampled and wiped his shoes on it, repeating the slogan "here is Poland, not Brussels". He then raised the flag from the building and burned it in front of the miners' monument.
Reactions and consequences
The incident was recorded by witnesses and broadcast on social media. It caused an immediate reaction of public opinion and politicians. The staff of the ministry objected to the behaviour of the Euro MP, and there were numerous comments online criticizing his attitude.
It is worth noting that on the same day, the European Parliament waived the immunity of Grzegorz Braun, which opens the way to court proceedings in other cases, including concerning earlier incidents involving him.
Possible legal consequences
- The Public Prosecutor's Office may launch an investigation into violations of the rules on respect for national and EU symbols.
- The Ministry of Industry has already notified the possibility of committing a crime.
