A group of right-wing nationalists disrupted a June 22 lecture by famous Polish Jewish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman in Wrocław.
Members of the Polish National Revival (NOP) chanted vulgar anti-communist slogans, in reference to Bauman’s past, when he served for a couple of years in the communist security unit after WWII.
This is just the latest such incident in Poland. Nationalists recently disrupted lectures given by Adam Michnik, editor-in-chief of the left-of-centre Gazeta Wyborcza, and left-wing professor of ethics Magdalena Środa, accusing them of being unpatriotic.
Interior Minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz recently warned skinhead organisations that he was “coming for them”.
