Almost 100 other regions passed similar resolutions which were said to violate discrimination laws. The European commission urged for them to be scrapped, threatening to block funding for their local governments for failure to do so.

Whilst the resolutions were mainly symbolic and unenforceable, they have fuelled Poland’s increasingly tense culture war.
