The Polish coalition party was sentenced to three years in prison for violating the church in public and disrupting celebrations

One party in the ruling coalition, United Poland, is proposing to toughen Poland’s blasphemy law. They were closing the gaps and immediately the blasphemers. Anyone who “openly violates the church,” or interrupts church service, could face up to three years in prison.

Under current law, they can be sentenced to up to two years in prison for violating “religious sentiments,” “monuments, or monuments,” or the institutions where ceremonies are held.

“The current law is riddled with loopholes and incites hatred against those who express their religious views,” said Marcin Warchoy, deputy justice minister and party chair.

This tightening will make it possible to punish the creators or publishers of banners that often evoke provocative Christian symbols in Poland, among other things, at Pride Parades. Obviously, United Poland would welcome this, as it has been fighting the “LGBT lobby” for years and even started a ban on “LGBT ideology”, but this is the largest and most cohesive party that leads the coalition, Law and Justice (PiS). did not support it (Notes from Poland)
