Korwin-Mikke slaps Boni in the face
15:20
Controversial Polish right-wing MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke slapped MEP and former Administration and Digitization Minister Michał Boni in the face on Friday. The incident took place at a meeting for Polish MEPs hosted by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Korwin-Mikke said that he had fulfilled a promise he had made earlier this year in a newspaper interview. When he was preparing a vetting law years ago, Boni insulted him and never apologized, the politician explained. He also spoke with contempt about Boni announcing the incident on Twitter, “instead of arranging a duel.”
Poland’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the situation as “unacceptable.” The ministry will refer the case to prosecutors, the statement said.
