Far-right Polish MP uses fire extinguisher to put out Hanukah candles

Incident came hours after new PM Donald Tusk vowed to reform Poland after eight years of rule by rightwing Law & Justice party

A far-right MP in Poland has used a fire extinguisher to put out a candle on a menorah that was lit for Hanukah, disrupting parliamentary proceedings before a planned vote of confidence in a new government.

Donald Tusk, the new prime minister, who earlier on Tuesday vowed to reform Poland after eight years of rule by the rightwing nationalist Law & Justice party, said the incident was “a disgrace”.
