Ex-presidential candidate of Poland trampled a poster with LGBT symbols in the Sejm

Former Polish presidential candidate Grzegorz Brown trampled posters at an exhibition dedicated to LGBT people in the Sejm (the lower house of the country's parliament) (the movement is banned in Russia and recognized as extremist). A video from the scene was posted on TVP Info's YouTube channel on June 11.

The footage shows Brown removing posters with LGBT symbols from the stands, throwing them on the floor and starting to stomp on them. The incident caused a violent reaction among the politicians of the ruling coalition.

"I don't understand why <...> Deputy Brown wasn't caught red—handed destroying private property," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

In turn, MP Krzysztof Tuduy from the Confederation party pointed out that the incident was related to a recent speech by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

On June 11, Tusk announced that he would ask for a vote of confidence because he was convinced that this would be a new challenge. Later on the same day, the lower house of the Polish parliament expressed a vote of confidence in the government of the Prime Minister of the country.
