Right-wing Polish MP Grzegorz Braun will reportedly lose half of his parliamentary salary for three months as punishment for putting out a Hanukkah menorah in the Sejm with a fire extinguisher.

From The UK Standard, "Far-right Polish MP expelled for using fire extinguisher on Hanukkah candles in parliament":

Sejm speaker, Szymon Holownia, excluded [MP Grzegor Braun] from proceedings on Tuesday.

He called Mr Braun's behaviour "scandalous" and said he would inform prosecutors of his actions.

[...] He added that Mr Braun will lose half his salary for three months and parliamentary expenses for six months.

[...] Poland's Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich said he was embarrassed by Mr Braun's actions and that they were not representative of the country.

He said: "For thousands of years our enemies have been trying to extinguish us, from the time of the Maccabees right through to Hamas. But our enemies should learn, they cannot extinguish us."

Braun remained defiant on X:
