Polish conservatives: Free speech! We love free speech! Free speech for all!
Also Polish conservatives:
>In 2018, the MP displayed baby shoes and posters on the gate of the Basilica of St John the Baptist in Toruń with the slogan “Baby Shoes Remember. Stop Paedophilia” during a protest against alleged cover-ups of paedophilia cases by the Catholic church.
Literally prosecuting an MP for expressing a (commonly held) political view.
>The other MP stripped of immunity on Thursday, Sławomir Nitras, faces defamation charges. Marek Palarczyk, a former member of the small conservative party Kukiz’15, wants to file charges after Nitras tweeted about a man strolling through the Sejm wearing a T-shirt bearing the legend: “Racist, xenophobe, patriot. Poland without Islam” in 2017.
Even though Palarczyk was not directly referred to in the tweet, he claimed that Nitras misquoted the message on the T-shirt, and that he has the right to dress as he pleases, he told 7 Dni, a Częstochowa regional weekly.
I had to reread this 4 times because my brain refused to process this idiocy. It sounds like something out of Reno 911 or some shit.
