Warsaw. Swastika on the fence of the house of Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, Speaker of the Senate

Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska on Wednesday after 8:20 p.m. announced on her social media that the fence had been smeared.

“The fence of my house was vandalized, but that’s not what worries me. It’s easy to repaint it. It will definitely be more difficult to free us from hate, lies and hatred, but we will work on it persistently,” wrote the newly minted Speaker of the Senate.

And she attached a photo of a swastika drawn on the wall near the gate, a hateful symbol of Nazism, in our part of the world clearly associated with Adolf Hitler.
