BBC News Latin America & Caribbean 20 August 2013 Last updated at 05:12 ET Mexico angry at Polish fan attack on sailors in Gdynia
 Mexico has summoned the Polish ambassador after a group of Mexican sailors were apparently attacked by Polish football fans on Sunday. Witnesses said several hundred fans attacked the Mexican navy cadets on a beach in the Polish town of Gdynia. Some accounts said the fans of the Ruch Chorzow team shouted racial abuse as they charged at the sailors, injuring 17 of them. However, the Polish fans blamed the Mexicans for starting the fighting. The Ruch Chorzow fans association said fans had tried to help a woman who had been hit in the face by one of the sailors. However, Polish Radio quoted prosecutor Michal Niesiolowski as blaming the Poles for the violence. "At the current level [of investigation], it has been established that the attackers were Polish citizens, and the injured party were Mexicans," he said. Two Mexican sailors were taken to hospital with serious injuries, though officials said they were now out of danger. Officials in Mexico City said they had asked the Polish foreign ministry "for its intervention in order to ensure that authorities find those responsible for the deplorable incident and punish those guilty". |

Polish football fans are a dangerous beast... better be far away from them. It is like English fans. In America sport is treated with much more relaxed attitude.

Polish football fans are a dangerous beast... better be far away from them. It is like English fans. In America sport is treated with much more relaxed attitude. Moim zdaniem, to są ludzie, którym alkohol i przynależmość do dużej grupy dodaje odwagi. Potrzeba obywateli, którzy się nie boją! Potrzeba także obywateli, którzy nie zatracili wstydu! Takich jest niestety w Polsce przerażająco mało. Ambasada meksykańka w Warszawie otrzymała podobno dziesiątki czy setki przeprosin za to co się stało w Gdyni. Dziesiątki, a nie 33 milionów! Ja byłem jedyną osobą w znanej historii Krakowa, która powiedziała 15 kibolom terroryzujacym tramwaj 8, że przeklinajac w miejscach publicznych przynoszą wstyd całej Polsce. A oto moje słowa do ambasady meksykańskiej odnośnie Gdyni: Estimado Embajador, Escribo para expresar mi profundo disgusto con la bochornosa conducta de los hinchas de futbol polacos con respecto a los marineros de Mejico en Gdynia. Cada vez que ocurren tales incidentes me siento avergonzado de ser polaco! Le deseo pronta recuperacion a todos los lesionados ciudadanos de su grande pais! Le saluda cordialmente, Bohdan J. Szejner, dr |
