Poland's President Lech Kacyznski has approved legislation that allows fines or imprisonment for up to two years for possessing or buying communist symbols. Left-wing lawmakers and others criticize the law as ill-defined and hard to implement.
A Law and Justice Party senator, Zbigniew Romaszewski, said the law was needed because the atrocities committed by communist regimes are being forgotten, allowing the flourishing of businesses that sell images of Soviet leaders, state symbols like the hammer and sickle and the red star. "Communism should be treated just like Nazism," said Romaszewski.
