MEP from Poland demanded to demolish a monument to Lenin in Germany
Polish MEP Elzbieta Kruk was outraged by the installation of a monument to Vladimir Lenin in the German city of Gelsenkirchen, demanding to demolish the monument and ban communist symbols, RT reports.
Kruk sent a demand to the European Commission, stating that the installation of the monument violates the 2019 resolution of the European Parliament, calling for a pan-European condemnation of Nazism, Stalinism and other crimes of "totalitarian regimes."
- said the MEP from Poland.
The document states that "the communist regimes in total are responsible for the deaths of about 100 million people, which makes communism one of the bloodiest systems in stories humanity ".
In his inquiry, Kruk wonders if the MEPs think that communist symbols should be banned in the EU, and whether the EP will take any steps to demolish the Lenin monument in Germany. She also "expressed fears" that Germany is "returning to its totalitarian traditions."
On June 20, 2020, at the suggestion of the Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD), a 2-meter monument to Vladimir Lenin was erected in the German city of Gelsenkirchen.
