Poland | Black candidate runs for European Parliament
The representation of minorities is often adopted by members of the European Parliament, who belong to the majority in ethnic and religious respects. Although millions of Europeans are coloured, just a few deputies are black for instance, concerning notably Nirj Deva, Syed Kamall or Sajjad Karim (all for the United Kingdom).
Patrick Kibangou, born in Congo, is an engineer who lives in Poland for over 29 years taking polish citizenship. His father was a French Senator. Even though his chances to get elected are remote, because of not being placed on the top of the list of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), he shows ambitious courage.
