The far-right presidential candidate in Poland, Grzegorz Braun, tore down the European Union flag in the building of the Ministry of Industry in Katowice, wiped his shoes on it and burned it, UNN reports.

"The miners of the "Wujek" mine and others died at the hands of the Soviet authorities not so that a Euro-Soviet regime would be established on Polish soil today", - Braun signed in X a photo of him setting fire to the EU flag.

He also stated that there is allegedly Eurocommunism: "Away with communism, away with Eurocommunism! Eurocommunism is also communism! Eurocommunism reaches out to our children, to their health, life, to our money, to our assets, to the treasures hidden by Polish soil".

He also published a video of him demonstratively burning the flag. RMF24 reports that before burning the EU flag, Braun wiped his shoes on it.

It is noted that the incident occurred in the Ministry of Industry in Katowice. Braun was supposed to go there with a "parliamentary intervention in the case of the liquidation of a Polish mine".
