Church walls vandalised with Nazi symbols
On 13 January 2024, the walls of the Protestant Church of Peace in Świdnica, Lower Silesia, were vandalised and painted with Nazi symbols and slogans insulting Prime Minister Donald Tusk. One suspect has been arrested.
The church's website speculated that it may have been targeted because the Protestant church in Poland is "associated with Germans" and there has been "anti-German hysteria during recent political disputes". The 17th-century wooden Protestant church is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
As reported on 22 January, a man was arrested and charged with "insulting a public official or a constitutional body".
