The Speaker of the parliament Szymon Holownia denounced the incident carried out by Grzegorz Braun and said there would be no tolerance for antisemitic and xenophobic behaviour in the Sejm, the Polish parliament. He then took to the podium in the chamber where he described the Hanukkah as "satanic" and said he was restoring "normality". Asked just after the incident if he was ashamed, Braun replied: "Those who take part in acts of Satanic worship should be ashamed." The Speaker excluded Braun from the sitting and said he would inform prosecutors about his actions. "Someone extinguished the Hanukkah candles and a few minutes later we relit them," he said.
