Polanski has rejected criticism linked to a Green Party motion on Zionism, saying: “I won’t accept exclusion.” The comments came as Labour MPs and the European Greens called for clarity over the motion, which is described as stating that “Zionism is racism”.
The dispute centres on the wording and meaning of the motion. Labour MPs and representatives of the European Greens have publicly sought a clearer explanation from the Green Party, although the supplied material does not provide further details about the motion’s text, when it was passed or the specific concerns raised.
Polanski’s response indicates that the criticism has raised questions about inclusion within the party or movement. However, no further explanation of his position or the Green Party’s response is included in the available material.
The latest known development is the continuing demand for clarification from Labour MPs and the European Greens, alongside Polanski’s rejection of what he regards as exclusion.
