Protest against Madonna concert absurd

Several representatives of the political Right in Poland, including Artur Górski, an MP for the Law and Justice Party (PiS), are currently protesting against a planned Madonna concert in Warsaw because it is scheduled for August 1, the day the Poles commemorate the Warsaw Uprising. The conservative daily Rzeczpospolita sees the protests as ridiculous and comments ironically: "In Warsaw Madonna wants to make a mockery of the commemoration of the rebels - just another step on her long and shameful journey. After all, she began the European part of her tour on June 7 in Turkey. And there everyone who knows anything about Islam mourns this day as the anniversary of the siege of Jerusalem during the First Crusade in 1099. On June 14 Madonna sang in Milan. But on this day the Italians were mourning Napoleon's victory in Marengo in 1800, after which the French emperor began his conquest of Italy. This means that of course every resident of Milan sinks into profound reflection on this day and wouldn't even think of going to hear [Madonna's song] 'Vogue'."
