An Antifa member in Poland has been charged after posting a video to social media of himself burning the country’s flag on the nation’s independence day.
Daniel Kamieniecki has been accused of publicly destroying or damaging a sign or symbol of the state.
"Every anti-fascist should once in his life, at least once in his life, set fire to the flag of the nation in which he grew up," an English translation of the video states.
Polish member of parliament Dariusz Matecki posted to X that the Anti-Polonism Monitoring Center, a non-profit he founded, will be sending a notification to the prosecutor's office regarding the incident.
Photos on Kamieniecki’s Facebook show the Antifa member marching with others on November 11, carrying Antifa flags. He also posed photos of previous years, with photos going as far back as 2015, and Kamieniecki sporting an Antifa flag or other item in each.
Kamieniecki was seen posting about the march days in advance, showing signs and graffiti on the streets, as well as an Antifa-themed cake.
Antyfaszystowska Warszawa, the group to which he belongs, according to his Facebook page, organized a direct action for Poland’s Independence Day. "We will dance in the name of freedom and equality," a website for the event stated.
"Regardless of our effort, it is also in your hands how loud, numerous and colorful this year's demonstration will be! Unlike Nazis, we do not receive state subsidies, nor do we have powerful sponsors," an English translation of the website reads.
Tens of thousands of people honoring "God, family, and Fatherland" marched through the streets of Warsaw on Saturday, according to Fox News.
