A far-right Polish lawmaker used a fire extinguisher to put out Hanukkah candles in the country's parliament, leading the speaker to exclude him from the sitting and provoking outrage.
Footage posted on the website of private broadcaster TVN24 showed Grzegorz Braun of the Confederation take the extinguisher before walking across the lobby of the parliament to where the candles were, creating a white cloud and forcing security guards to rush people out of the area.
Television footage showed people in the vicinity covered in powder from the extinguisher.
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."
Speaker Szymon Holownia excluded him from the sitting and said he would inform prosecutors about his actions.
Braun left the chamber, shaking hands with other far-right lawmakers.
