The mayor of Warsaw has banned the display of religious symbols such as crosses from city hall, making it the first city in Poland to do so. He has also informed officials that they must respect the rights of same-sex couples and people’s preferred pronouns.

News of the regulations were first reported today by Gazeta Wyborcza, a leading daily newspaper. It notes that the policies are part of new internal guidelines intended to counteract discrimination.

“Warsaw is the first city in Poland to adopt such a document,” Monika Beuth, the spokeswoman for mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, told the newspaper.

Under the rules, crosses cannot be hung on walls, something that is common in state offices in Poland. Staff also cannot display religious symbols on their desks. All official events are also now to be secular in nature, so therefore should not include any kind of prayer.

However, the ban does not apply to “religious symbols for personal use worn by people working in the office, for example in the form of a chain, tattoo or armband”, reports Gazeta Wyborcza, citing the new rules.

I held out hope for Poland. Guess they are infected as well, tho’.

Poland as a whole is pretty conservative and religious. As always, the rot starts in the big cities (like Warsaw, in this case) and from there it flows down and is imposed upon the more “backward” parts of a nation to make them “see the light.” There is a good reason, starting from the early chapters of Genesis, that the Bible takes a dim view of people living in large cities.

Yep- a model of that concept is Maine- a largely solid conservative state, but democratic rot has crept in in the larger cities ine Maine, and now they are taking a hard left, leafing th3 conservatives in the state in the lurch

It’s funny how Poland was held out as a shining conservative beacon in opposition to the rest of Europe here on FR. Just more proof that everything modern Western culture touches it inevitably corrupts.

Much like Hitler planned to do to Germany.

What the Hitler government envisioned for Germany was clearly set out in a
thirty-point program for the ”National Reich Church” drawn up during the war
by Rosenberg, an outspoken pagan, who among his other offices held that of
”the Fuehrer’s Delegate for the Entire Intellectual and Philosophical Education
and Instruction for the National Socialist Party.” A few of its thirty articles
convey the essentials:

1. The National Reich Church of Germany categorically claims the
exclusive right and the exclusive power to control all churches
within the borders of the Reich: it declares these to be national
churches of the German Reich.
5. The National Church is determined to exterminate irrevoca-
bly . . . the strange and foreign Christian faiths imported into
Germany in the ill-omened year 800.
7. The National Church has no scribes, pastors, chaplains or
priests, but National Reich orators are to speak in them.
13. The National church demands immediate cessation of the pub-
lishing and dissemination of the Bible in Germany . . .
14. The National Church declares that to it, and therefore to the
German nation, it has been decided that the Fuehrer’s Mein
Kampf is the greatest of all documents. It . . . not only contains
the greatest but it embodies the purest and truest ethics for the
present and future life of our nation.
18. The National Church will clear away from its altars all cruci-
fixes, Bibles and pictures of saints.
19. On the altars there must be nothing but Mein Kampf (to the
German nation and therefore to God the most sacred book)
and to the left of the altar a sword.
30. On the day of its foundation, the Christian Cross must be re-
moved from all churches, cathedrals and chapels . . . and it
must be superseded by the only unconquerable symbol, the
swastika.

Blame the US for the rot. Our rotten culture has permeated the entire planet.

So much for Poles running their country. Like most of Europe, it’s now run by Biden’s people.

[Wuli]

We knew this was coming after the election of Trusk as head of Poland.

US needs to back out of NATO now. We need to shore up democracy in the English speaking world, you know, like Canada, Australia, Ireland, and the UK [if that is even salvageable]. Of course staunch allies like Hungary, Japan[?], Taiwan, Phillipines that recognize the threat of China that has paid bribes to Biden, who should be brought up on charges of treason, since it is agreed soliciting and accepteing bribes is never an offical act of the President.

But the Poles, Estonians, etc. who want NATO war with Putin should be left hanging [figuratively].

“Blame the US for the rot. Our rotten culture has permeated the entire planet.”

Yep, and almost always, these days, they penetrate conservative through NGOs. The SMARTER countries, like Hungary, Russia, much of Africa, and soon Georgia keep those NGOs as far away as humanly possible. The countries that were too late to catch on get destroyed socially (as is now happening to Poland) and sometimes destroyed physically (as happened to Armenia and is now happening to Ukraine).

There is a good reason, starting from the early chapters of Genesis, that the Bible takes a dim view of people living in large cities.

There's a reason just about every great city in history has been destroyed.

Donald Tusk is pure Brussels Davos/WEF. Like everywhere infected by these groups, Poland didn’t merely “elect a President” it downloaded the globohomo social-engineering software program.

President Trump, thankfully, will still carry Maine’s Second Congressional district by a wide margin, just like he did in 2016 and 2020.

He earned one electoral vote each time.

[gibsonguy]

Poland was good but “somehow” a woke a-hole got in as President and he is ruining the country with BS like this.

[dfwgator]

Tusk isn’t even Polish, he’s Kashubian. Many Kashubians supported the Nazis.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Warsaw needs a new mayor.

[dfwgator]

Women voters there are the problem. They came out in droves in the last election because of Poland’s strict abortion laws. US Propaganda poisoned their minds.

[dfwgator]

Warsaw needs a new uprising.
