A Polish official s appointment to a diversity committee has sparked concern (Sean Gallup/Getty)
Dozens of MEPs are protesting the nomination of a delegate from Poland for a key role on a gender equality and LGBT+ rights committee.
A total of 34 MEPs voiced concern at the appointment of Poland’s Tymoteusz Adam Zych to the Diversity Europe Group, whose remit covers gender equality and LGBT+ issues.
In an open letter to the European Economic and Social Committee, they highlighted the Polish official’s problematic background, which they fear goes against the standards held by the group.
“The recent appointment of Mr Zych undoubtedly raises questions over the legitimacy of his work in the field and the intentions behind his appointment,” the letter reads.
