Polish politician slammed for refugee comments that Adolf Hitler 'would not be ashamed of'

Former Polish prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski says refugees who have arrived recently in Europe are carrying diseases that could hurt the local populations.

The words sparked a sharp rebuke from a left-wing politician, Janusz Palikot, who slammed Mr Kaczynski’s words as racist language that Adolf Hitler “would not be ashamed of”.
