Far-right MP expelled from Polish parliament after spraying Hanukkah candles with fire extinguisher

I mean, the US did expel George Santos just this month. It was kind of amazing I have to agree, it really should be more common if you are found to break the law.

The speaker of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia, then announced that he was excluding Braun from proceedings. Speaking to the media outside the chamber, Hołownia called Braun’s actions and words “scandalous”.

He said that the Sejm’s leadership, known as the presidium, would meet to decide on a financial penalty for the far-right MP. “After determining the precise nature of Mr. Braun’s actions on the basis of recordings, an application against him will be submitted to the prosecutor’s office,” added Hołownia, quoted by broadcaster TVN.

Later, after a meeting of the presidium, Hołownia announced that they had issued the maximum possible punishment, which was half of Braun’s parliamentary salary for a period of three months and his entire parliamentary allowance for six months.

Hołownia noted that the decision was supported by the entire presidium apart from the one member belonging to Braun’s Confederation party, Krzysztof Bosak, who abstained from voting.

Seems like he was just kicked out of proceedings that day and will have to pay a fine but he still gets to be a member of parliament.
