Sejm accepts veto of anti-pornography bill though many remain opposed

Yesterday, the Sejm accepted the President's veto of the anti-pornography bill. Those who opposed the veto were mainly deputies from Solidarity Election Action (AWS) and the Polish Peasants Party (PSL). "As far as morality goes we have won," commented the voting Stefan Niesiolowski from Christian National Union. He called the presidential minister Ryszard Kalisz "a porno-minister who perfectly suits the porno-president." "We have the alliance of two porno-fanatics," he continued. According to the bill, pornography with the participation of animals and children as well as with the use of violence is illegal. Other forms are allowed unless one is forced to view it.
