There has been a backlash against Madonna in Poland after she decided to hold her first concert there on a Christian holy day.
Polish Nationalists have decried her plan to perform in Warsaw on August 15, the day that Christians commemorate the ascension of the Virgin Mary into heaven.
A representative from a Pro Polonia group said that the pop star is a “Crypto-Satanist” who goes out of her way to offend religious believers.
“Madonna sneers at Jesus Christ, the symbol of the cross and all Christians,” added Zygmunt Wrzodak, a former member of the Polish parliament.
Former president Lech Walesa urged Madonna to move the date of her Polish concert, but she would not be swayed, reports Reuters.
