Beata Mateusiak-Pielucha, of the ruling Law and Justice party, wrote an article on a new film about the Volyn massacre, but drifted onto the topic of religious minorities in Poland. "We should demand that atheists, Orthodox believers or Muslims clearly state that they know and undertake to fully respect the Polish constitution and values recognised in Poland as important," she wrote on the wPolityce.pl website. "Failure to meet these requirements should serve as a solid reason for deportation."
Facebook users were quick to respond with irony: 44,000 have joined an event page called "List of Passengers for the First Deportation by Beata Mateusiak". It says it's compiling information on where people want to go, "to help the government solve the problem of logistics". [...]
There may yet be repercussions in parliament, as an MP from the anti-establishment Kukiz'15 group says he plans to refer Ms Mateusiak-Pielucha's comments to the ethics committee.
