Anti-Semitic remarks have cast a shadow over the Congress of the Union of Polish Associations and Organizations in Latin America (USOPAL), organized by far-right businessman Jan Kobylanski.
"There isn't even 30 percent of genuine Poles in the Polish government. I hope this will change," Jan Kobylanski told the ultra-conservative Radio Maryja.
"We've a genuine Judeo-Polonia. Poland for Poles. A minority group cannot rule our country," said Tadeusz Wasiak, who Kobylanski wants to be Poland's president.
Five Polish MPs, members of the opposition Law and Justice party, a nuncio in Uruguay and several bishops participated in the congress but no one responded to the anti-Semitic statements, it is being reported.
Funnily enough - people are quick to scream when people say bad things about Poland, but when Poles say bad things about others, everyone's quiet....funny, that. On the other hand - I'm thankful that this kind of behaviour doesn't represent the vast majority of ordinary Poles.
As for all the Polish Americans? Perhaps you shouldn't throw stones when you're standing in glass houses.
